Chapter 244: Zhao Rui's plan, meeting the priest, the 5 sense formation, the siege from Natulu
"Lu Ming can actually compete with the Red Water Grass King?"
After getting his daughter's affirmation, Zhao Rui was shocked.
"The Red Water Grass King is a level 90 demon beast. He was able to escape from a level 90 demon beast. Could he be a great scholar?"
Zhao Xue shook her head and denied it: "No, he is just a 49th-level Jinshi-level destiny master."
"Level 49 Jinshi? How did he escape from the Red Water Grass King with such a small strength?"
"It's a martial art. Lu Ming possesses a unique martial art that is extremely powerful."
"Peerless martial arts? Is there such a powerful martial arts in this world that can fight against a level 90 monster?"
Zhao Rui was obviously a little unconvinced.
"It's true. I saw with my own eyes that Lu Ming repelled the attack of the Red Water Grass King with just one punch."
"I doubt that you, father, would be able to block the attack from the Red Water Grass King."
Seeing Zhao Xue say this, Zhao Rui's eyes lit up.
"If we can obtain this set of martial arts, wouldn't it be..."
Before Zhao Rui finished speaking, Zhao Xue understood what her father meant and interrupted him immediately.
"Dad, this kind of martial arts is a secret, how can you get it?"
Zhao Rui rolled his eyes and said, "I can't do anything about it, but if you take action, there should be hope."
Looking at the light flashing in her father's eyes, Zhao Xue immediately guessed what he was thinking and her face blushed.
"Dad, Lu Ming and I are just good friends, not that kind of relationship."
Zhao Rui smiled and said, "It's not that kind of relationship that can be developed. I see that Lu Ming is also very handsome and talented. It would be nice for him to be my son-in-law."
Zhao Xue stamped her feet and said, "Alright, don't think about it. I won't go anyway."
Seeing this, Zhao Rui sighed and said, "Okay, you decide this matter yourself, but Lu Ming's appearance is a good help."
"What do you mean?"
"You saw what happened today. Who is the one who is becoming more and more restless? For the stable development of the tribe, it is time to deal with him."
Zhao Xue was shocked when she heard this: "Father, do you want to do something to them?"
"I didn't want to do this. They forced me to do it." Zhao Rui had a cold look on his face.
"Who is that? He has already cultivated a lot of power. If we don't take action now, we will be the ones to suffer."
........
Just as the father and daughter were talking, Lu Ming walked out of the yard.
Instead of resting, he prepared to go out to find the priest of the Sun-Shooting Tribe.
On the way here, he learned that the most knowledgeable person in the Sheri Tribe was the tribal priest.
Lu Ming went to find him just in time to find out about the experiences of the Mithril Empire ten thousand years ago, and more importantly, to find a way to go back.
After asking along the way, Lu Ming arrived at an ancient palace.
"squeak"
Pushing open the door of the hall, Lu Ming saw an old man sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall.
"This should be the priest."
The priest heard the noise and opened his eyes. In an instant, Lu Ming felt a flash of light in the other's eyes, which made him feel a chill in his heart.
“This sacrifice doesn’t look simple.”
Lu Ming bowed to the priest and said, "Master priest, I have something I want to ask you."
The priest smiled slightly and said, "Sit down and talk."
Lu Ming sat cross-legged: "Master Priest, I want to know the history of ten thousand years ago. Have we humans always lived in the demon realm?"
Upon hearing this, the priest looked at Lu Ming in surprise.
"Why are you interested in history from ten thousand years ago?"
“Don’t be afraid of being laughed at by the High Priest. I have lost my memory and don’t remember anything that happened before, but I am very interested in history.”
Naturally, Lu Ming could not confess his origins, so he made up a story about his love for history to deceive the priest.
At the same time, stating that you have lost your memory can avoid loopholes in the subsequent conversation.
The priest just glanced at Lu Ming and said, "Since you are so interested in history, I might as well tell you about it."
"In fact, the history of humans in the demon realm is only ten thousand years."
"Only ten thousand years?" Lu Ming certainly knew what was going on, but he still showed his surprise appropriately.
The priest seemed satisfied with Lu Ming's reaction and continued.
"The humans living in the Demon Realm today actually belonged to the same empire ten thousand years ago, the Mithril Empire."
"Ten thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Mithril Empire left the Destiny Continent and accidentally came to the Monster Territory. They have been taking root and surviving in the Monster Territory ever since."
"Because the Demon Realm is the world of demon beasts, the original empire form is not suitable for this, so the entire empire immediately changed to the current tribal form."
"Master Priest, since the Demon Realm is so dangerous, why don't you return to the Destiny Continent?"
"Go back?" The priest looked lonely.
"Can not go back."
"why?"
The priest did not answer Lu Ming's question immediately, but looked towards the entrance of the hall, as if thinking about something.
After a long while, the priest spoke again: "Do you know how the entire Mithril Empire came to the Demon Realm?"
"It's a teleportation array!"
"According to the records passed down, the empire accidentally discovered a natural teleportation array. After sending people to investigate, they found that this place was more suitable for living."
“Then we migrated across the country, but when we got here we found out it was all a scam.”
"The so-called natural teleportation array was actually created by a void dragon above level 100 using its innate spatial skill."
"The purpose is to create a passage from the Demon Realm to the Destiny Continent."
"It was proven to be successful, but the Void Dragon also paid a heavy price to break through the Heaven Sealing Barrier created by the Saint and build a teleportation array. It was drained of its demonic power by the teleportation array and died."
"It's also fortunate that the Void Dragon died, which allowed the monsters in the Monster Realm to discover the people of the Mithril Empire in the first place."
"But this is the demon realm after all, the world of demon beasts. The Mithril Empire migrated the entire country, and there were too many people. In less than a day, the demon beasts discovered them and also knew the existence of the teleportation array."
When Lu Ming heard this, his heart instantly rose to his throat.
"So, isn't Destiny Continent in danger?"
The priest nodded: "When the emperor Yelu Qi saw a large number of monsters, he immediately set up a defensive formation."
“But there are too many monsters in the domain, and as time goes by, more and more monsters above level 90 are joining the battle.”
"The defense line was broken, and a large number of monsters entered the Destiny Continent through the teleportation array."
Lu Ming suddenly realized what was going on: "No wonder so many monsters suddenly appeared, it turns out they all came from the Monster Territory."
The priest continued, "When Emperor Yelu Qi saw this, he knew that if he didn't make a decision, it would lead to disaster, so he destroyed the teleportation array immediately."
"This is the end of the disaster that might happen to Destiny Continent, but it also ends the possibility of returning to Destiny Continent!"
When Lu Ming heard this, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"If the teleportation formation is destroyed, how can I successfully teleport here?"
"The teleportation formation is not damaged!" Lu Ming immediately determined the result.
"But why did the priest say that the teleportation array was broken?"
"Is he lying? Or does he not know the truth either!"
For a moment, Lu Ming didn't know what the priest was thinking.
Suppressing his doubts, Lu Ming continued to ask: "What happened next?"
"later?"
"Later, when the big monsters found that the teleportation array had been destroyed, they lost their desire to fight and just directed other monsters to continue besieging humans."
"At first, the number of people who migrated from the Mithril Empire was as high as 40 billion, but after several days of siege, the number was reduced to less than billion."
When he said this, the priest's face was full of sorrow.
When Lu Ming heard this number, he was also shocked.
“Three billion people are gone!”
At this time, the priest continued, "If this continues, within two days, all the people in the Mithril Empire will be dead."
"But at this moment, the monsters stopped their siege."
"stopped?"
"Why?" Lu Ming was very curious.
"It can't be that the monster is being kind!"
The priest said with a self-deprecating look on his face: "At first, the survivors also thought so, but later they realized that it was wrong. Since ancient times, humans and monsters cannot coexist. How could the monsters let us go?"
"Later, we found out the answer through the monsters we captured. The reason why the monsters didn't kill us all was because the big monster gave the order."
"The big demons don't want us all to die. Instead, they want the remaining humans to continue to reproduce and hunt us down when our numbers are large enough."
Lu Ming frowned: "Isn't this just captivity?"
The priest looked bitter: "Yes, they are kept in captivity. These monsters treat us humans as their livestock. They hunt us whenever they want to eat us!"
Lu Ming's face was also quite ugly at this time. As a member of the human race, he felt very uncomfortable and angry when he thought about his fellow human beings being kept as livestock by monsters.
The priest took a deep breath and said, "After that, every sixty years, humans were besieged by monsters, and every time a large number of humans died."
"This situation lasted for thousands of years until the emergence of a human being 6,000 years ago, which changed the situation of humans being hunted."
"Who is it?" Lu Ming instantly perked up.
"Zhuge Liang."
When he heard this name, Lu Ming was confused.
Does he know Zhuge Liang? No, but the owner of this name is a legendary figure!
He murmured softly, "This person must be an earth-shattering figure."
The priest looked at Lu Ming in surprise: "You know?"
Lu Ming quickly shook his head: "I don't know, but I know that the person with this name must be extraordinary!"
The priest nodded: "Zhuge Liang is indeed extraordinary, because he invented the Five Senses Formation to defend against monsters hunting."
"Five senses formation?"
"The so-called five senses are hearing, seeing, smelling, smelling, and touching. The Five Senses Formation can make the monsters lose all five senses, so they can't find us at all."
Hearing this, Lu Ming's eyes lit up: "Such a five-sense formation is indeed magical."
Lu Ming suddenly thought of a possibility: "Master Priest, since Zhuge Liang is so powerful, why didn't he try to repair the teleportation array?"
The priest was speechless for a moment after hearing this. He pondered for a while before saying, "Lord Zhuge Liang did go to the original site of the teleportation array and stayed there for ten years."
"and then?"
“Then I don’t know.”
"Don't know?" Lu Ming looked at the priest with some surprise.
"According to rumors, ten years later, Lord Zhuge Liang returned to his tribe and lived there until his death."
"Although Lord Zhuge Liang did not say it explicitly, the teleportation array should not have been repaired successfully, otherwise he would have evacuated here with humans long ago."
However, Lu Ming disagreed with the priest's words. He had a vague feeling that understanding what happened to Zhuge Liang back then was the key to his leaving here!
"Master Priest, can you tell me the tribe where Master Zhuge Liang is from?"
"Would you like to go?"
Seeing Lu Ming nod, the priest did not hesitate and spoke directly.
"In order to commemorate the contributions made by Lord Zhuge, his tribe has been renamed the Zhuge Tribe."
........
After knowing what he wanted to know, Lu Ming said goodbye and left.
But as soon as he stepped onto the street, he was surrounded by people.
Lu Ming looked at the leader and sneered in his heart.
"So it's you. Your father just annoyed me, so I'm taking it out on you now!"
The leader was none other than Natulu.
When Natulu learned that Zhao Xue and the others had returned to the village, he began to think of ways to take revenge.
As a result, before he could come up with a solution, he was scolded by the person who had eaten his stomach.
Who was his father? He could only endure the scolding, but he would remember this grudge.
Considering Zhao Xue's identity, it would be difficult to touch her, so Natulu decided to target Lu Ming.
After all, he is not a member of the tribe and has no roots, so it is no problem for him to touch Lu Ming.
Little did he know that this time he chose the wrong target and hit a wall.
Furious, he immediately led people to search for Lu Ming, and just happened to find Lu Ming walking out of the hall.
Natulu grinned: "Boy, you are dead today."
Lu Ming said with disdain: "Tulu, I can give you one chance. Leave now and I will pretend nothing happened."
"If you insist on doing it, you will regret it!"
In Lu Ming's view, his words were well-intentioned, but in Natulu's view, Lu Ming was being provocative.
This made him furious.
"Do it!"
The men who followed him set out immediately.
Swords were unsheathed, and more people drew bows and shot arrows.
Seeing the conflict break out here, people on the street evacuated completely in an instant.
More than a dozen arrows were shot at Lu Ming, and Natulu had a hideous grin on his face.
The reason why the tribe is called Shooting Sun is because the tribe is full of sharpshooters and archers.
At this time, the two sides were only a dozen steps apart, and he didn't believe that Lu Ming could avoid the attacks of these sharpshooters.
It's a pity that Natulu had never heard of this saying: For a martial artist, at a distance of seven steps, the gun is faster than the person, and within seven steps, the person is faster than the gun.
The bow and arrow are not as fast as the gun, and with the help of Yufeng Lingkong, Lu Ming's speed has reached the extreme.
Seeing that Lu Ming was about to be shot to death by more than a dozen arrows, Natulu's face was full of excitement.
Just at this moment, a breeze blew, and Natulu subconsciously closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the dozen arrows were already held in Lu Ming's hands.
"Fuck, what happened?"
Natulu had a look of shock on his face, but his men beside him saw it clearly and stammered.
"Sir, that guy seemed to catch all the arrows in an instant."
"Catching a dozen arrows with bare hands? Are you kidding me?" Natulu didn't believe what his men said.
He shouted again: "Shoot again."
Upon hearing this, his men quickly drew their bows and prepared to shoot.
Lu Ming's eyes flashed coldly: "It's rude not to reciprocate, you also take my attack."
