Chapter 177 The human god, Hou Tu!
"Precious meat?"
Facing Huang Rong's clear and smart eyes.
After Xia Tian was stunned for a moment, he understood what Huang Rong said.
It should be the Taotie beast that has transformed six times and exploded with the golden quality rare item "Glutton Cells"!
The Gluttonous Alien Beasts can gain greater potential by devouring "Gluttonian Alien Cells". This is a legacy left by the "Gluttonian Overlord", just like the treasure of One Piece, which is enough to attract the "Gluttonian Alien Beasts" from the entire island. Gather, fight, and scramble.
As long as it is used properly, it can cause a serious blow to the alien race!
"What is the approximate strength level of the alien race you are facing?"
However, Xia Tian did not decisively agree because of the pretty eyes staring at her.
Instead, he looked at Huang Rong and He Shen and said.
Although Xia Tian is very interested in the strange object statue that can produce "spiritual soil".
But this is not near our own territory after all, and there is not even a single soldier around who can participate in the battle.
And the barbarians in this cave are not weak themselves. Except for the twenty or thirty old, weak, women and children, the remaining seventy or eighty "barbarians" have all relied on five-color rice to reach the level of transformation!
He Shen and Huang Rong, one is at the fourth level of mortal transformation, and the other is at the fifth level of mortal transformation.
Under such circumstances, you can only choose to avoid the alien race, which shows that the opponent should not be underestimated!
"Those crocodile people have powerful bodies and amazing energy and blood. Each one can tear apart tigers and leopards. They also have sophisticated equipment and can obtain a large amount of food from the sea for practice. So. At the same level, compared to these The fighting power of the barbarians is even better!"
He Shen's face was slightly solemn.
According to He Shen's description, the crocodile race was born with a ninth-level mortal body, standing at the top of the mortal race.
Moreover, compared to the "barbarians" of another world who are restricted after being "cursed" by the gods of other worlds.
These crocodile people have a more advanced civilization and have not only mastered the methods of making leather armor and forging metal weapons.
There are even certain defense facilities built in the territory!
For this reason, even if the barbarians were more numerous, they were defeated in the battle and were expelled from their original territory.
This is obviously normal. When fighting at the same level, the impact of equipment is even greater than personal skills.
Xia Tian's own territory can repeatedly win against many foreign races, largely because of the blessing of various magical weapons such as Mingguang Armor, Qi Family Sword, and Divine Arm Crossbow!
“Actually, if we just talk about weapons, the bone weapons of these barbarians are not much different... They know a way to temper the "bone weapons" with their own blood, which can Create a strange weapon that can 'grow'!"
However, the next words from He Shen's mouth still attracted Xia Tian's attention.
“This bone sword is made using the ‘qi and blood tempering method’. In addition to being able to continuously increase its power through ‘sacrifice’, when encountering powerful enemies, it can also Through the method of 'self-destruction', it can cause unexpected damage to the enemy!"
"This sword of mine is made from the horn of a gluttonous beast, although the 'blood refining' time is not long! , but it is already a sharp weapon!"
He Shen said.
While taking out a sword, the back of the sword was as white as jade, the blade was translucent, and there were some light red swords in the center that looked like meridians and blood vessels.
"A weapon that can grow?"
Xia Tian became interested and glanced at the chopper.
[White Bone Saber (Blue)]
[Level] Metamorphosis
[Characteristics] Growth (led by blood, turned into a 'spiritual seed', matched with one's own Qi "Sacrificial refining" of blood can eventually grow into "spiritual weapons"), explosive weapons (detonating the spiritual power and blood contained in weapons, bursting out powerful power)
[Explanation] A method passed down from ancient times by the human race in another world. Legend has it that it is one of the secret methods of "refining weapons" for high-level human race. Due to the lack of higher-level "refining formulas", it can only refine spiritual weapons in the transformation stage. !
“Surprisingly, it can be refined into a ‘Spiritual Weapon’?”
The value of “Spiritual Weapon” is self-evident.
It can be said that it is second only to the rare objects that can follow the rules of heaven and earth to increase their power, and the weapons that are integrated with "exotic treasures".
The key is that whether it is a rare object or a rare treasure, the quantity is limited. Only spiritual weapons can be continuously manufactured by relying on skills!
These "barbarians" actually mastered the method of refining "spiritual weapons", which can be said to be beyond Xia Tian's expectations.
But think about it carefully.
This seems very reasonable.
After all, these humans come from a world that has resources like "five-color spiritual rice".
Perhaps due to the "curse of the gods", their potential is limited and unable to compete with powerful alien races at the same level, but the human race was once a "super race", and a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, even if Even after being suppressed in various ways, some foundation will still remain, just like this kind of "spiritual soldier" using bones to create growth.
You must know that although his territory currently possesses spiritual weapons such as "meteoric crossbows, sky lanterns, wooden oxen and flowing horses", even when the territory is promoted, the will of the earth also provides a "designated type of spiritual weapon drawings".
However, these spiritual weapons have very strict requirements for materials and cannot be manufactured on a large scale.
Only this method of "qi and blood weapon refining", according to He Shen's description, can be used for "refining" as long as the bones of creatures at the metamorphosis level. It can be said that there is no need to choose materials at all. The value for a territory can be said to be quite amazing.
"If Lord Xia needs it, I think these barbarians would also be willing to hand over the method of 'sacrifice and refinement' to you..."
As a politician, Renjing, He Shen Naturally, it can be seen that Xia Tian is a little moved, and he immediately said with a smile on his round face.
The reason why the dignified "Military Minister" of the Qing Dynasty acted without any pretensions and even slightly flattering in front of Xia Xia was not only because of Xia Tian's status as "Human Lord", but also because he had been sharpened these days after entering the "Eternal Land". .
The most important thing is that He Shen has guessed in his heart that Xia Tian has a way to leave this island!
So, I am more willing to show my "value".
"If Lord Xia is willing to take in these 'barbarians', the little girl is willing to persuade them to hand over the method of 'blood weapon refining' to the Lord!"
Unlike He Shen, Huang Rong actually From the communication with Huang Yaoshi on the road, he already knew that Xia Tian had the ability to "move around the stars". When the "Crocodile Tribe" was about to rush over, Xia Tian waved his sleeves and the corpses of the "Gluttonous Alien Beasts" disappeared everywhere, and even more so Some kind of proof!
At this time, he echoed He Shen's words.
This is because in He Shen's eyes, these barbarians from "outside the territory" are not that different. Huang Rong has been with these barbarians for a longer time and already has some "feelings". The girl even gave these barbarians every They all had Chinese names.
For example, the "barbarian girl" who was only eight years old but taller than Wu Dalang.
For this reason, she also hopes that Xia Tian will know the value of these barbarians and be able to take these barbarians out of this island...
"When the 'Crocodile Tribe' is solved, if they If you are willing to leave, you can go together.”
In this regard, Xia Tian has no problem.
These "barbarians" are essentially the same as humans.
It’s just that the environment in the other world made it grow tall and strong, and any lord would be happy to recruit dozens of mortal-level combatants!
The only problem is that the "cursed shackles" on the human race in the other world will limit their potential. A lot of resources may be invested, but they cannot be cultivated in the end.
"Let Hua Tuo help them test it after we get back!"
Xia Tian makes a decision.
……
Above the sea, the waves are rough.
A bright moon rises slowly, casting a large amount of silver light from the sky.
In the night, above a mountain rock shrouded in black trees, Xia Tian looked not far away.
A "territory" that occupies a small area and has a relatively simple structure is already beginning to take shape.
"Huchi, Huchi..."
The alien creatures have heads like crocodile heads and are covered in black leather armor.
With a pious expression, he broke open a creature that was over 20 meters in length and resembled a whale, and took out a ball of something similar to grease from its body and poured it into a metal cauldron with a material similar to bronze!
"The ceremony begins!" A tall crocodile leader, who was over two and a half meters tall, wore a set of blood-colored armor and was blind in one eye.
Both hands held a moon-shaped scimitar, and they drew it on the metal cauldron. Suddenly, the two scimitars burned with blazing flames, igniting the whale oil in the metal cauldron. , shining brightly and brightly all around!
Then, a famous crocodile humanoid took off his clothes after kowtowing to the metal cauldron.
Then, they hugged each other, rubbing their ears and temples together, blowing out hot air from their nostrils, and gasping in their mouths...
"Ahem, after that kind of 'common oil' is lit, there seems to be something Some kind of effect to promote practice, these crocodile people will 'practice' every night."
Next to Xia Tian, Huang Rong, who was wearing a gold belt, spoke and explained with a slightly red face.
“It’s a bit strange.”
Xia Tian nodded calmly.
After all, Huang Rong comes from an ancient background. Even if she is bold by nature, she will inevitably be embarrassed when facing such a scene.
But to modern people, this is a small scene.
Just think of it as watching "Animal World".
After all, although these crocodile people have a certain human shape, their appearance is closer to that of crocodiles.
“However, although their bodies are strong, their five senses are not sharp, especially their eyesight is poor at night...So most of us go out to hunt at night, and hide in caves during the day. Avoid being discovered."
Huang Rong said again.
Actually, night is also not very friendly to humans.
Many nocturnal creatures are extremely dangerous and can lead to attrition if not careful.
But the situation forces us to do this!
“Is that one your ‘god’?”
Xia Tian nodded.
Then he pointed to the foreign territory, where a field of five colors appeared in the soil. In the center, there was a female statue about five meters high, and said to the few barbarians holding bone weapons next to him.
"Yes, she is the Mother Goddess of the Earth, the god of our tribe, the supreme god who has killed a large number of alien gods..."
Several barbarians looked at the statue and replied softly.
Everyone's face was full of admiration and their attitude was very pious. In the jungle behind them, more barbarians were looking at the distant statue of the god.
Kneeling half on the ground, praying quietly.
Under the "Eye of Insight", a little silver light dots representing "faith and will" appeared on the bodies of these barbarians, integrating into the statue like fireflies!
[Houtu Statue (Silver)]
[Type] Strange object·Building
[Characteristics] Gather the power of will (can absorb the power of faith and transform it into 'Nurturing Spiritual Soil' The power of wish), five-color spiritual soil (where the statue stands, it can breed 'five-color spiritual soil', which has the ability to greatly increase the speed of plant growth and cast 'human altars')
[Description] A statue of "Houtu" contains the power of faith generated by the "barbarian" tribe's sacrifices for thousands of years.
“Well, Houtu?”
Xia Tian couldn't help but be stunned by the information from the Eye of Insight.
No one from China is unfamiliar with the name "Houtu".
As early as "Zuo Zhuan", "Book of Rites", "Huainanzi" and other books, there are records of "Houtu", the god of the center.
The "Guoyu·Lu Yushu" said: "The Xilieshan clan has the world, and the Gonggong clan's uncle Jiuyou also has one. His son is the fourth queen of the country, and can level the nine soils, so he is worshiped as Society."
Because of his meritorious service in pacifying the "Kyushu Land", he was able to be "consecrated as a god" and be worshiped by future generations.
In the Taoist mythology of later generations, Houtu's divine title is "Chengtian imitates the virtues of the emperor and empresses the emperor of Houtu", which is the same as the "Zhongtian Ziwei Arctic Taihuang Emperor" seen through the baptism of stars before summer. One of the top "Four Imperial Gods"!
Legend has it that Hou Tu controls the yin and yang to nourish all things, is in charge of the land changes in the mountains, the mountain gods and the earth, and controls the "luck"!
Therefore, it is also called the mother of the earth.
In some online novels, Hou Tu even has the saying of "reincarnation, merit and sainthood" and so on...
"The gods worshiped by these 'barbarians' turned out to be 'Houtu'? ”
Xia Tian was inevitably surprised and surprised.
Although the names of the two parties are different, the information detected by the "Eye of Insight" given by the will of the earth should be correct!
This also made Xia Tian feel completely beyond expectations.
Because, he always thought that Lei Ze, Hou Tu, Nu Wa, and Fu Xi were just characters in Chinese myths and legends.
Although there are historical prototypes, the image is more of a "fiction".
Now, I saw the name "Houtu" on the statue worshiped by humans in another world!
"If some of the legendary 'gods' are like historical figures, they once really existed... Then, the meaning of the 'resurrection' mentioned above on the previous 'human god statue·embryo' I'm afraid it's more profound than I imagined."
Xia Tian's face was a little solemn.
After defeating the 'Dark Elf', he once obtained a 'Human God Statue Embryo' from the treasure box.
You can obtain certain 'characteristics' based on your willpower, and after gathering enough willpower, the statue will transform into the form of a human god corresponding to a certain authority!
At the same time, after the rules of heaven and earth are met, the territory will be qualified to receive this human god.
Before, Xia Tian himself was not interested in "incense and the way of faith".
At the same time, he is unwilling to place a "god statue" in the territory for the residents of the territory to believe in, thus affecting his authority as a lord.
But after seeing this "Houtu God Statue", Xia Tian wanted to make a decision.
Because, like a historical figure.
What if some human gods once really existed?
They themselves are definitely more powerful than the will of the earth that is transformed from the sea of illusion simply by relying on luck!
"The value of this 'human god statue embryo' may be 'higher' than I imagined."
Xia Tian looked at the flames formed by the burning whale oil, That sculpture of a female human deity who is graceful and noble, full of compassion!
“Perhaps Houtu is a good choice for a ‘god’?”
Hou Tu is a Taoist deity.
But like Fuxi and Nuwa, she is also the "ancestor" of the Chinese race!
The Chinese nation has worshiped their ancestors since ancient times, and the sacrifices to the "Emperor, Heaven and Queen of Earth" and "Three Emperors and Five Emperors" have been carried out throughout the past dynasties.
Even if you establish a "Qi Luck Dynasty" in the future, you can still choose to worship the Houtu God.
Besides, there is already a "Houtu Statue" in front of us. If another one can be built, the "fusion" of the two strange statues may be able to go further.
Just like the "headless ghost" formed by the "Blade of Vengeance" and the "Armor of Vengeance"?
Speaking of "headless ghosts and gods", Xia Tian's heart moved.
The consciousness sank into the natal magic object "Jiangshan Battle Map" between the eyebrows.
It was discovered that the "Headless Ghost", wearing an armor that looked like blood condensed with a blade of revenge stuck beside him, was sitting cross-legged in a desert practicing.
A large amount of spiritual power gathered around him, like a tornado blowing up.
As it swallowed up spiritual power, the sand in the area where the "Headless Ghost and God" sat cross-legged was dyed with a layer of red, exuding strong spiritual power fluctuations, and turned into blood-colored balls with an aura of transformation. "Cinnabar"!
Perhaps, it is because it is a "golden quality" rare object and is combined with the "Blade of Vengeance".
In these days, Xia Tian can feel that the spirituality of the "headless ghosts and gods" is getting stronger and stronger.
The most striking contrast is that after leaving the "Jiangshan Battle Map", the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword can only maintain its 'transformation' state for a few seconds.
The "Headless Ghost" can even maintain its "transformation" form until its accumulated "power of strange objects" is consumed, and then it will transform into the form of armor and sword.
"These crocodile people have killed a lot of 'barbarians' before, and their hands are stained with human blood. For such aliens, in addition to the 'taotie alien beasts', this 'headless ghost and god' may be a more suitable punishment!"< br>
