Chapter 59: Chapter 15: Spring God · Nvman
Gaotun Village, Earth God Temple.
"Is Granny not here today?"
Watching Xiao’e, who was explaining divination to the villagers in front of the temple altar, a young boy asked curiously in a low voice.
Despite his tattered clothes, the boy had a handso face.
It was clear he was not an ordinary mountain person.
Especially his body, not particularly rugged yet exuding an aesthetic that transcended the era.
"Granny had things to do, you can talk to
if you have anything."
She recognized the young boy right away.
Xiao’e hesitated for a mont before eventually inviting him to sit in front of her.
Xiao’e rembered the boy; he had visited this Earth God Temple three years ago and they had crossed paths once.
What was most important was that the boy’s appearance was identical to three years ago, with not a single change.
Still wearing the sa tattered clothes...
Still having that appearance that clashed with the ordinary mountain folks...
"If I’m not mistaken, your na is ’Er’?"
Nodding calmly, the boy... or rather Er Tu, acknowledged his identity without reservation.
"Not here?"
"That’s troubleso."
Scratching his head in frustration, Er Tu hadn’t expected Granny to be absent from the temple.
He’d known Granny for decades and it was the first ti he’d seen her leave the Earth God Temple.
For so reason, a sense of foreboding erged within Er Tu.
The last ti he felt this way was during the "Ghostly Chaos" three years ago.
"Do you know where Granny went?"
Faced with Er Tu’s inquiry, Xiao’e shook her head blankly.
"Granny didn’t tell
where she was going..."
Opening her mouth as if to speak, Xiao’e suddenly had a bold thought upon looking at Er Tu.
"However, I can probably guess where she went."
Watching Xiao’e with a sly expression, Er Tu instinctively blinked.
His intuition told him the mischievous girl was setting a trap, waiting for him to fall in.
"Your look... It’s exactly like Granny’s when she tries to trick ."
Grumbling quietly, Er Tu couldn’t help but ask out of concern.
"Never mind, I’m used to being tricked anyway. Where is Granny now?"
When Er Tu said this, his face uncharacteristically showed a stern look.
"Guifang Kingdom’s Slave Capture Team!"
"Granny has been monitoring Guifang Kingdom’s movents for a long ti and found they’re capturing mountain people on a large scale."
"I don’t know what Guifang Kingdom plans to do, and Granny has never told ..."
"But I could see that Granny was getting more anxious by the day, recently even losing her appetite."
After a brief pause in her words, Xiao’e continued.
"So I think she most likely went to find that Slave Capture Team..."
"The Slave Capture Team moved south and should now be near the Jingyang Mountain Path, about a hundred miles away."
Watching Xiao’e use words like probably and should, but with a face full of certainty, Er Tu fell silent.
So far, Er Tu could almost be sure Xiao’e was setting him up.
But it concerned Granny’s whereabouts.
Even knowing Xiao’e was setting a trap, Er Tu chose to jump in without hesitation.
"Jingyang Mountain Path?"
After a brief contemplation, Er Tu turned and left the Earth God Temple.
Er Tu planned to visit Jingyang Mountain Path himself, but first, he had to go sowhere else.
...........................
Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Jingyang Mountain Path.
The battle between Granny and the Guirong Clan was even more intense than expected.
Continuous minor earthquakes destroyed the surrounding terrain, and various bizarre and terrifying plants grew from the ground.
Fortunately, each mber of the Guirong Clan was elite.
After sacrificing a third of their mbers, they quickly adapted to fighting during earthquakes with aggressive plants.
Leaping over ravines, slashing at man-eating plants...
Guirong Clan attacked in groups of five, frantically attempting to get close to Granny.
In the process, any slave blocking their way was cut down without rcy.
To be honest, five hundred people charging one person was a sight that transcended the word "spectacular."
Even on a modern 21st-century battlefield.
Soldiers with drones and advanced equipnt could not face five hundred alone.
Only in a world where Extraordinary Power exists could such incredible events occur.
Despite this, Granny’s current performance was well beyond the comprehension of this era.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At Granny’s feet, on the trembling ground,
a completely charred, branch-like black tree slowly grew.
As the black tree grew, terrifying storm clouds gathered in the sky, with lightning striking the crowd under its guidance.
"A Thunder-Attracting Tree!?"
"Such a tree actually exists in this world!?"
Staring, slack-jawed at the black tree turning the area into a domain of lightning.
Mu Zheng could only retreat to a safe distance, not even daring to remove the shattered long knife embedded in his body.
Mu Zheng, once a candidate for High Priest, knew the basic knowledge of tals conducting electricity.
"Retreat! Get out of the lightning range imdiately!"
"Those who can’t retreat, drop your sacrificial artifacts imdiately, the lightning will follow the iron!"
Despite Mu Zheng’s tily warning,
Nearly dozens of charging Guirong Clan mbers perished under the lightning strikes.
Those among them who raised their long knives high suffered particularly grisly deaths.
They didn’t even let out a scream before turning into a charred, undefined mass.
"Who are you?"
"This power is beyond what any Priest can wield!"
Although Priests are the deities’ agents on Earth, the power they can carry is limited.
The power Granny displayed far exceeded the limits of the "Priest" role.
Even those favored by the gods could never wield such terrifying authority.
Granny’s display made Mu Zheng recall Guifang Kingdom’s previous High Priest — this was power no human could possess.
"You are not human!"
At this mont, You Chong, also struck by thunder, suddenly widened his eyes.
The scene before him reminded You Chong of a widespread legend among mountain people — a god who should have disappeared a thousand years ago.
"You are the Spring God, Nvman!"
