While they were talking, the old man Lin, along with Lin Zhuang, Lin Chen and others, hurriedly arrived. They too had felt the tremors coming from the Wilderness, their faces solemn.
“Everyone must have felt that tremor!”
“Indeed, we did. The ground was slightly trembling, and my old black dog was so scared that it cowered in its den, too afraid to move…”
The elderly clan leader of the native tribe nodded, sitting on a glowing stone stool with a somber expression.
He had a bad premonition. He had a feeling something major was going to happen in the Wilderness.
Being the eldest, the clan leader had the most experienced and had indeed heard similar tremors in his youth.
That year, numerous tribes and ferocious beasts bloodied the vast mountain range amidst turmoil. Streams turned into rivers of blood, creating a terrifying scene.
“The clan leader is right. Regardless, the tremor this time is not ordinary. We need to consult with the Lord Willow God.”
Old man Lin responded affirmatively. He agreed with the clan leader’s view – it was indeed ominous.
Especially in the recent intense tremor, he faintly heard several extremely miserable growls. It was like some powerful beast was shaken to death by a terrible entity. This made his skin crawl.
To confirm he hadn’t misheard, he specifically asked Lin Zhuang and Lin Xin Tong among others. They all had the same feeling. If it were only him, it wouldn’t be too concerning. But many had heard the faint roar, which was indeed alarming.
The Wilderness was vast and it concealed countless terrors. If one was not careful, they could die without knowing how. For instance, the previous black fog appeared without any warning. If they hadn’t practiced the Body Tempering Scripture bestowed by Lord Willow God and its transformative powers, they risked being swallowed by the black fog just like many other small tribes.
Old man Lin rushed up the mountain and returned after a while.
“How did it go, father? What did Lord Willow God say?” Lin Zhuang and the others immediately surrounded him, their faces anxious.
“Lord Willow God did not say much, only asking us to stay in the village where he can ensure our safety.”
Old man Lin reported truthfully.
He did not get a clear answer, but he did receive Jiang Hui’s promise.
Jiang Hui had enough confidence to make this promise. The scope of Paradise covered nearly fifty miles, not only engulfing the entire Liu Village but also including certain connected mountain blocks. As long as they were within this scope, he could guarantee the safety of any person from Liu Village.
However, if they left this scope, it wouldn’t be guaranteed anymore.
If he remembered correctly, many of the authorities behind those tribes who fled from Stone Village did not give up. For example, the Kong Tribe, with a population of tens of millions, was one of the most formidable forces in this region. Not only did the clan leader personally take action, but they also summoned the tribe’s sacrificial spirit, the Wolf God!
There was also Marquis Purple Mountain of the Purple Mountain Clan, the first powerhouse in this vast region, with extraordinary methods, an external avatar, and known as the number one powerhouse within fifty thousand miles. In addition, there was the ruler of Luo Floating Marsh.
No matter which one, the power they possessed had already exceeded the current limit that Jiang Hui could cope with. At least for now, he had no way to deal with it.
“Since Lord Willow God has spoken, Village Chief, you can issue the ban.”
The elderly clan leader of the native tribe spoke up.
From the previous conversation, he inferred something unusual – Lord Willow God promised to protect them within the village, but never mentioned anything about outside the village.
Although it was just one word’s difference, the gap between inside and outside the village was as big as heaven and earth.
“Definitely, besides not going out, we should also strengthen our daily patrols and temporarily reduce the patrol area within Liu Village.” Old man Lin nodded. The old Clan leader had already thought of everything he said on his way back.
Soon, within Liu Village, a series of orders from the Village Chief, Old Man Lin, was issued.
No one was discontented, the Wilderness was extremely dangerous, filled with ferocious birds and beasts, and man-eating mires. They seldom left their homes on normal days.
Of course, the most important thing was that many people felt the tremors and sensed some unusual atmosphere.
Liu Village was temporarily closed completely. When it would be reopened depended on the consultation between the village chief and Lord Willow God.
During this period, besides not going out, Old man Lin added another rule of no hunting outside, restricting the activity area entirely within Liu Village. They did not lack game, they had plenty. The natural cold storage behind the mountain still stored more than ten tons, enough to sustain them for several months.
A few days later, just when everyone thought it was a false alarm, a more intense roar started.
In the Wilderness, thousands of mountains, almost at the same time, were enveloped by a wave of heat, countless mountains were shattered in an instant, and dust filled the sky, hiding the sun, it was as exaggerated as the day of judgement.
This without a doubt was a catastrophe, even the aftermath was enough to kill some ferocious beasts.
It didn’t stop there, subsequently, a gigantic tornado that was so massive it spanned several kilometers appeared, covering up all the land in its path. It was as if an ancient beast was roaring, causing the entire vast wilderness mountain range to shake.
In front of this tornado, there was a person who was as small as a black dot, filled with terror, desperately trying to escape. Even after using some secret technique, it was useless. In an instant, he was pulled in, his body breaking apart inch by inch, becoming a cloud of blood, and eventually turning into a pulp.
“Good lord, what on earth is happening outside? Why is it getting dark? And the tornado, why did it kill a man?”
Inside Liu Village, someone asked in horror. But nobody answered him, as everyone was equally stunned and confused.
Fortunately, the deadly tornado that could split the heavens and the earth in two, was forcefully stopped outside of Liu Village in an instant, as if it reached a quiet pond.
In front of the latter, the former seemed as weak as an infant, being instantly torn apart and swallowed…
“It’s the Willow God protecting us, the great Willow God is protecting all of us!” This scene immediately led the villagers of Liu Village to exclaim in astonishment. They all kneeled on the ground, facing the location of Jiang Hui, their faces filled with excitement.
Almost instantly, everyone’s faith value rocketed, reaching over 150 points before finally slowing down.
Atop the mountain, after Jiang Hui absorbed a large amount of fresh faith, he had a new understanding of the power of Paradise.
If he hadn’t guessed wrong, the tornado he encountered earlier was a treasured technique used by the willow tree in Stone Village to deal with the kings and Marquis of the Purple Mountain Clan and the leader of the Kong Tribe. Its reach was quite long, even reaching near Liu Village.
Although its power had weakened somewhat, it was still extremely terrifying, capable of completely obliterating the Kings and Marquis.
Yet such a powerful attack was nullified by Paradise. It couldn’t even raise a ripple before it was viciously swallowed..
