Chapter 888 I managed to hold it back with great difficulty
Wuman is a general term for the tribes that are located thousands of miles away from the Bai Ancient City, in the Jueming Mountains, and have not yet developed sufficient civilization.
The Jueming Mountains were filled with the foul air of the underworld, poisonous smoke, poisonous substances, and even ferocious beasts. From time to time, underground fires would surge up and burn the unlucky ones to ashes.
Ordinary people living here basically cannot survive for more than three days. Even if they are cultivators with advanced skills, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Jueming Mountains is extremely scarce, and the turbid air of the underworld is constantly eroding the cultivators' skills.
If one stays in that place for too long, even the cultivation level of a cultivator will decline.
As for the Wuman who can still survive tenaciously in a place that can be described as hell on earth, his body can even actively absorb the turbid air of the underworld to strengthen himself. Although he does not have the ability of the cultivators to mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as a means of combat, his body that has absorbed the turbid air of the underworld and can still hold on can still resist the Taoism with his physical body.
The Wuman would attack nearby cities or even countries every once in a while. Sometimes it was because there were too many births among the Wuman tribe and there were not enough food sources, so they had to compete for more food from the outside world, consuming too many people at the same time.
For some, the living environment in the Jueming Mountains is becoming increasingly harsh, and they have no choice but to fight for living space outside.
Tu Shanyi led the way while explaining, trying to return to the city before Wu Man's large army landed.
"Since the Wuman are just trying to survive, wouldn't it be better to allocate a piece of land to them, or hire them out with food or other goods?"
Mo Cheng didn't quite understand. If Wu Man just wanted to survive, there should be more ways to deal with it.
"I know what Brother Mo means, but no, we can't let the Wuman occupy the land outside the Jueming Mountains." Tu Shanyi answered seriously, "The Wuman were born in the Jueming Mountains. It's okay if there are few of them outside the Jueming Mountains, but once there are enough to form villages and towns, that piece of land will be infected and alienated, and become the same environment as the Jueming Mountains."
"Although the Wu Man said that they were trying to survive, but..." Tu Shanyi's fox face showed a bitter smile, "We are also trying to survive. We have been transformed into the Jueming Mountains area. It is extremely difficult to recover. And no matter what the Wu Man thinks individually, once they are outside the Jueming Mountains, they actively or passively become the Jueming Mountains' hands and feet to explore and infect the outside world."
Mo Cheng nodded, "I understand."
That's right, he completely understood what the situation was.
There is nothing wrong with Wu Man himself, but to others, Wu Man who comes from Jueming Mountains will infect the land and even the spiritual energy, turning an area into a ghost place no different from Jueming Mountains.
To others, Wu Man is a walking dirty bomb.
Wherever it falls, that place becomes a death place.
At this time, Qingqiu Minshu also added, "Three hundred years ago, the Jueming Mountain Range was just an inconspicuous hill. Now..."
She didn't say anything else, but it was enough to let people know the situation.
The Jueming Mountains were just a small hill three hundred years ago, but three hundred years later it has become a mountain range, which means that a large area has been transformed into the Jueming Mountains.
At this time, the flying boat in the sky slowly opened, and then countless Wuman people jumped down from the flying boat. Mo Cheng estimated the distance and found that the height of the flying boat was probably a thousand meters.
But even at this height, those Wu Man were actually falling freely from the air. Mo Cheng could even see clearly that many of them were riding mounts, and they looked like cavalry.
They and their horses were falling freely from a height of a thousand meters!
Boom !!!
The Wuman and their mounts had no cushioning or assistance and fell straight to the ground. Apart from a big hole, the Wuman were unharmed.
"Oh no! It's Wuman's ghost cavalry."
Tu Shan Yi did not explain why it was so bad, but there was no need to explain because Mo Cheng had already seen it.
The first wave of free-falling Wuman cavalry numbered about several thousand. After landing, they immediately reorganized their formation and launched a charge.
It is worth mentioning that the lakeside where the poetry reading was held was very flat, with almost no obstruction except the Baigu City in the distance.
In other words, this terrain is most suitable for cavalry to launch a devastating charge.
With just one encounter, Wuman's ghost cavalry crushed the guards of Baigu City and smashed those guards who dared to resist them into pieces.
When the magic hit Wu Man, it did not cause much damage. There was an aura around them that resisted the magic.
After dispersing the guards of the poetry gathering, the Ghost Cavalry targeted the people who were fleeing towards Baigu City. At the same time, strange and unpleasant sounds were heard from the flying boat in the sky, and it was impossible to tell what language it was speaking.
Red mist began to fall from the sky and poured onto the Ghost Cavalry. Even the war horses were given a lot of the red mist .
As the red mist entered their bodies, the blood of the Ghostly Cavalrymen suddenly boiled. Everyone was like a huge furnace, with blood rising like wolf smoke.
"Not good!" Tu Shanyi's face immediately changed after hearing this, "This is the witch sacrifice technique of Wu Man. The red mist is on the body. It is the Wu Man [Lieshan] tribe!"
It was no use what Tushan Yi said, as the Ghost Cavalry launched another charge and chased after the fleeing crowd with overwhelming force.
A small group of cavalry saw Mo Cheng and his group, and they accelerated and rushed over with a formation of arrows. The horses trampled the ground and cracked it with every step. The leading cavalryman raised the spear in his hand and stabbed directly at Mo Cheng.
Shen Xueqi summoned [Seal Snow] to try to intercept the spear, but the Ghost Cavalry was extremely fast. When she tried to intercept it, the spear was less than three inches away from Mo Cheng's chest.
A distance where timely rescue is absolutely impossible.
It was foreseeable that in the next moment Mo Cheng would be pierced through the heart, thrown away, and then die.
But the ghost cavalryman found that when his spear was less than three inches away from the opponent's heart, he could no longer move forward.
Even though there were galloping war horses and the witchcraft skills were being used, the three-inch distance seemed like an insurmountable chasm.
Mo Cheng grabbed the spear with his palm without any protection. Facing the high-speed impact of the cavalry, his body did not even shake at all.
"Alas, I am helpless."
After a helpless sound, Mo Cheng smiled as he faced the Ghost Cavalry.
It was a bloodthirsty, crazy, ferocious and vicious smile, "Why do you force me?"
With a flick of his wrist, the spear flew out of his hand. Mo Cheng didn't even look at it, he just grabbed the spear and stabbed it. The spear instantly pierced the ghost cavalryman, causing him to fall off his horse.
"I managed to hold it back with great difficulty."
