Extraordinary Sailing

soon.

Aiwen and the others understood from Necardo's slightly incoherent words that this "evil spirit of bereavement" was sacred.

In the eyes of the pioneers, this land is vast and rich, and it is almost full of treasures.

But it does not mean that the life living on this land is really living in paradise, the aborigines will also experience various natural and man-made disasters, war and famine.

In the years of famine, the tradition of the Atrians is not to starve their children to death with them, but to actively drown them in the river.

Because in the legend, the child who drowned in the river will eventually become the elf of the river - the beaver!

By gnawing on aquatic plants, roots, and bark, their children can survive in another form.

This kind of legend has been passed down for a long time, and it is also what many mothers in the ignorant world would do in desperation.

But over time.

After more and more mothers who lost their children also inevitably died in the famine, their resentful souls slowly gathered into a regional evil spirit-"the evil spirit of bereavement" Pocatello.

In fact, this is also the original name of this area in the mouth of the aborigines before the arrival of the pioneers.

And as time goes by, Pocatello's power seems to be getting stronger and stronger.

In recent years, it has appeared more and more frequently, and every time it appears, it will create a bloody case, especially for hunters who hunt "beavers" for fur!

Because it firmly believes that those beavers were once its children.

only.

Unlike in the past, the scale and intensity of Pocatello's revenge this time is unprecedented.

There were close to thirty people who could be seen alone, and it was unknown how many victims there were at the North West Fur Company or other places.

Obviously for some unknown reason, the power of this evil spirit has been strengthened recently, and it has even gradually evolved into a trend of strange disasters in the extraordinary world.

Necardo also became more and more afraid as he talked, he completely lost the impassionedness he had for his friends before he set off, and he had obviously woken up from the temptation of "perfect fur".

He moved his feet and quietly hid behind Aiwen, his own extraordinary man.

"Pocatello Pocatello"

With the constant shouting of the leader of the indigenous tribe, Apsova.

Suddenly, an inexplicable wind blew over everyone's heads.

huh huh

The tall broad-leaved trees on both sides of the river kept shaking, and the yellowing leaves in late autumn also fell down one after another.

At this time, the time has come to the evening.

The slanting rays of the setting sun continued to spread the already heavy shadows in the dense forest, slowly extending from the opposite river bank, covering a large bend of the river, and also covering the place where everyone was standing.

And this piece of river water finally reacted, small waves rolled up, and a thick mist continuously gathered and rose on the river surface.

A cold and treacherous atmosphere gradually enveloped the entire river beach.

"Chi Chi"

In the mist, there seemed to be a weak patient gasping for breath with great difficulty, and a few faint cries of a baby like feathers could be heard faintly.

Although the voice was very low, it seemed to sound from the bottom of everyone's heart, sharp and piercing, as if scratching the blackboard with fingernails, making everyone's nerve endings tremble.

In occultism, everyone's name has a special meaning and even power, and some existences have real names that are unique in the world.

This is true of the art of calling names and impeaching ghosts in the "Bai Ze Tu" in the East, as well as witchcraft and shamanism.

"Pocatello!!!"

At this time, Apsova stomped his staff heavily and shouted again.

In the shadow cast by the forest, the dense fog suddenly dispersed.

A creepy figure was exposed in front of everyone.

She was so skinny that she couldn't distinguish between men and women.

The body is extremely shriveled, and it is a compliment to describe it as skinny.

The surface of the short body seemed to be covered with a thick layer of plaster, and it was pale from head to toe, so white that it was terrifying.

Only the palm is pitch black.

Its body was wrapped in a large cloth robe that was dirty as if it had been dug out of the earth, and it looked extremely ill-fitting. The patterns are completely mottled, and it is impossible to tell which era it belongs to.

The head of the "Evil Spirit of Bereavement" turned slightly, and "looked" at the people on the bank.

The deep-set eye sockets are shattered cracks surrounding the black, eyeless hollow in the middle.

There seems to be a bottomless abyss hidden in it, and dozens of hundreds of female souls who have turned into starvation are wailing and sinking in it.

Anyone who dares to look at it will immediately be full of fantasies, and earnest calls of "children!" and "children!" can be heard in their ears.

Those who are not determined will even step into the icy river step by step, trying to get together with this "mother".

For example, Director Necardo.

At the very beginning, he was intoxicated by the "perfect beaver skin" and came here in person regardless of the danger.

After facing the real master now, how can he have resistance?

But just one step.

Ai Wen, who was beside him, pinched the back of his neck and passed out.

"Boom!" He fell to the ground with a loud sound.

Congratulations for not causing trouble to others.

Facing the evil spirit directly, Apsova didn't care about the movement behind him at all. He slammed the white oak cane in his hand again and let out a low growl:

"Pocatello! Evil spirit, stop! This is not the place for you!"

Turn your face in Apsova's direction.

The evil spirit's shriveled lips were slightly split, revealing the dark and incomplete teeth inside, as if it was making a silent mockery.

laugh--!

And they understood its meaning easily, everyone who dared to kill its "children" must die!

Apparently, this evil spirit, which is gradually becoming more powerful, has already begun to possess certain characteristics of evil spirits, for example: killing people in strict accordance with certain established rules.

It's just that no one can be sure whether this evil spirit, whose power has been greatly increased due to unknown reasons, will hunt down those who dare to hunt beaver skins from now on, or whether it will attack everyone who has hunted beaver skins before. revenge.

You must know that beaver skin, as the backbone of the fur trade, is far more precious than other skins such as whitetail deer and bison.

Moreover, hunting is less difficult than the latter two. As long as you are not afraid of the cold water, you can get something.

So, it turns out that every hunter in the New World has hunted beaver skins to some extent.

And these hunters within the scope of the original Pocatello have covered almost every adult male of the indigenous tribe!

not to mention.

To say that the largest indigenous group active in this area is of course the Yucatan tribe where Apsova is located and several other large tribes that belong to the Hurons.

As the leader of the tribe, it was impossible for Apsova to bet on the idea of ​​an evil spirit.

No one can predict whether it will gradually expand the scope of revenge as it kills more and more people and becomes stronger.

"It must be killed or expelled!"

After making up your mind.

For an indigenous wizard, to deal with "spirits", of course he must rely on the power of other "spirits"!

It may not be too accurate to call them "wizards" as they are used to in the Old World.

Strictly speaking, those who believe in animism should belong to "shamanism", and "shaman" should be more appropriate to define them.

Apsova took out a dagger made of bear's teeth, gold, and obsidian, and gently scratched his palm.

呲——

Smear both hands with blood in order to communicate with the "patron saint" believed by the tribe and even the entire Huron tribe.

The "spirit of nature" that exists widely in the New World is a powerful natural spirit born between heaven and earth. It is embodied by faith and continues to grow stronger because of faith.

Although he doesn't even possess the personality of a demigod, he has a great power that surpasses all spirits, including evil spirits, through his deep-rooted connection with this land!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Picking up the tambourine "Teponaster" made by burning hollow tree trunks on his back, he kept beating the bearskin drum head with both hands.

Stepping on the original and exaggerated dance steps, the feather crown on the head swayed slightly, and the copper bell around the waist kept ringing.

He chanted praises in the native language, and the ethereal and high-spirited singing spread.

For highly spiritual beings like Aiwen and Milan, even if they don't understand the indigenous language, they can clearly distinguish the meaning of the singing:

"'Giant Bear Spirit' Graham!

You are the embodiment of the power of the god of war (our brother)!

The forest is your fur!

The mountains are your arms!

The plateau is your head!

'Spirit of the Bear'

Your subjects call upon your power to slay the evil spirits! "

In Aiwen's spiritual vision, there is a khaki-yellow magic aura that spreads far away along with the sound waves.

Boom!

Following Apsova, the shaman, he beat the tambourine with all his strength.

Boom——!

The terrifying evil spirit standing on the water seemed to have been restrained by some powerful force since the first drumbeat, and it was inevitable to face the power from the "giant bear spirit" in the drumbeat!

Like a sledgehammer breaking a block of ice.

-

After a sharp cry, the pale figure disappeared without a trace.

"Yaku—!"

"Yaku—!"

A group of native warriors who followed the leader cheered loudly for the power of the "Giant Bear Spirit".

However, Aiwen's face next to him did not relax at all.

He could feel the power fluctuations when Apsois cast the spell just now. As far as his own activated mental power is concerned, it is at most comparable to his current self, and he is only the pinnacle of a first-level apprentice.

Even if the blessing of the unknown "Giant Bear Spirit" was obtained through the blessing ceremony, the overall strength is there.

For an evil spirit with so much resentment that it is almost equivalent to a second-order official transcendent, even if it will be injured, it will not be crushed to pieces like it was just now.

What's more, Aiwen neither saw the "evil spirit dust" after the evil spirit was eliminated, nor did he feel the cold atmosphere in the forest dissipate.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

He has begun to carefully observe his surroundings.

Existences like evil spirits have many unreasonable abilities, and the common abilities include: mind-killing, cursing, possessing, immunity to physical damage, and beings that are particularly powerful have various special abilities.

When dealing with this kind of weird thing, you must be careful and careful. If you don't pay attention to a boat capsized in the gutter, things will get worse.

Sudden.

He noticed an anomaly.

Over there, the "Brown Bear Warrior" had already dealt with all the "skinless men" with the cooperation of the three arakkoa, but they hadn't removed the supernatural blessing on his body like "Brown Bear Possession", which obviously had a lot of load.

Instead, he lowered his head slightly, and gradually came to Apsova's side with blood stains all over his body. Unexpectedly, he raised the obsidian saw with broken bones and pieces of meat hanging in his hand. sword.

He hit his leader hard on the back of the head.

"ah!"

"stop!"

clang--
