C237 Snow Monster
After Old Man Ji had left with Hee Ye, Ding Yi sat cross-legged in the yard and entered a meditative state. He completely let go of his mind and absorbed the spiritual energy in the air into the surging river in his body.
Time passed quickly. It was not until the sky gradually darkened did Ding Yi recover his spiritual energy to its peak. He stopped cultivating and opened his eyes. He looked at Hee Ye who was standing in the yard and asked, "Have you considered it?"
"I have decided. Everyone is outside. I'll have them meet you right now!" Hee Ye said respectfully as he saw Ding Yi stand up.
Ding Yi nodded.
The curse he gave Hee Ye could indeed affect Hee Ye's life and death, but more importantly, these curse marks allowed Ding Yi to more easily understand the situation of the crowd. Even if Hee Ye was thousands of miles away, he could still communicate with him.
Not long after, Hee Ye walked in with a group of people. There were more than a hundred of them, most of them old people.
Only a few of the young adults were looking at Ding Yi with either fear or dissatisfaction. It was obvious that Hee Ye had explained it clearly to them before.
Looking at these people, Ding Yi took a deep breath and said lightly, "I don't care what you think. Since you've decided to become my servant, you need to be absolutely loyal to me."
"Let go of your minds and accept my curse seal!" The moment he said that, a bright light flashed across Ding Yi's eyes. With both of his hands behind his back, beams of golden light flew out from his body and quickly shot into the center of everyone's brows.
These golden lights formed complicated runes on the center of everyone's brows. After that, a portion of the people were successfully imprinted in their souls. However, there were still a few that were not imprinted because of their resistance.
"It looks like... Some people don't want to. " Ding Yi looked at Hee Ye and said lightly.
"What?!" Hee Ye's expression changed. He immediately looked at the villagers and scolded them, "What did I tell you before? Who was it? Come out right now!"
Hearing Hee Ye's words, everyone looked at each other. They all looked at each other, but no one was willing to stand out.
As the leader of the village, there was actually someone who disobeyed his leadership. Furthermore, at such a critical juncture, if Ding Yi was angry and refused to help them, then wouldn't all the efforts he had made be in vain?!
"You all..." Hee Ye's face was extremely gloomy. Just as he was about to continue scolding, a strange roar came from outside the village.
Roar! The roar came closer and closer at an extremely fast speed, as if it was right beside their ears. Their heavy breathing made everyone's faces change.
Ding Yi also frowned as he felt a giant monster approaching. What made him even more shocked was that this giant monster was emitting a cultivation aura and was probably at the peak of the Qi Refining stage.
"Oh no, it's a Snow Monster!" Old Man Ji was the first to react after hearing the roar.
With an ugly expression, he walked to Hee Ye's side and said: "It's that Snow Monster. How did it find the village?!"
"Elder Ji, you're saying that the roar is from that white bear?!" Hearing Elder Ji's words, Hee Ye frowned and asked.
The others also started to panic. This sound was very dull, and it was getting closer and closer. This meant that the source of the roar was approaching the village!
"What?!" How did that white bear find our village! " Big Beard's face was filled with fear. He had personally experienced the hunt before, so he naturally knew how terrifying the power of the white bear was. He hurriedly said, "What should we do now? If it really is the white bear, we are not its match!"
"What white bear?" At this moment, Ding Yi suddenly asked.
Hee Ye hesitated for a moment, then cupped his fist and bowed to Ding Yi, then said while clenching his teeth: "Sir, I believe you know that the Beiye Clan has been forcing us to kill Snow Monster, so we organized some people to target a white bear from the northwest."
"But that time, our people suffered heavy losses. Otherwise, there wouldn't be only a few young adults left." Saying that, Hee Ye let out a bitter laugh and said helplessly, "That roar is that white bear. If it entered the village, we wouldn't be its match."
"It's here, it's here!" Big Beard suddenly shouted.
The moment his words left his mouth, everyone immediately became terrified and screamed out in fear. That terrifying roar seemed to be attracted by the screams and the sound was getting closer.
"Everyone, don't be afraid. Keep quiet!" Seeing this scene, Hee Ye hurriedly shouted, "Don't shout, the louder you shout, the more you will attract that guy over!"
Hearing the Village Chief's words, everyone shut their mouths. However, their eyes were still filled with fear. Only the big bearded man and the others, who were slightly better off, had pale faces.
"Old Hu, prepare yourself. If there's really no other way, we can only go all out!" Hee Ye gritted his teeth, but he glanced at Ding Yi out of the corner of his eyes.
He believed that Ding Yi would not let them off the hook with his presence. He just didn't know if Ding Yi could deal with the white bear with his strength.0
"Alright!" Hearing the Village Chief's words, the big bearded man calmed down and immediately waved his hand, bringing the few young men to grope around.
Just as he walked out of Shuofeng's house, he heard a miserable scream. Big Beard and the others immediately ran back from the door while shouting, "It's here, it's really the white bear! It's coming!"
"This is bad!" Old Man Ji paced back and forth anxiously.
They didn't even have a weapon now, and facing the white bear, they really didn't have the strength to retaliate at all. If the white bear really found them, they would really be defeated in one fell swoop!
"Everyone step back!" Old Man Ji frowned and stared at the entrance of the yard while his hand emitted a faint white light.
Seeing this scene, Ding Yi was startled, Old Man Ji did not have any cultivation, but the white light in his hand made Ding Yi feel a strange fluctuation, and Ding Yi immediately thought of a cultivation method that belonged solely to Northern Realm, 'Totem Power'!
People of the Northern Realm believed in totems, so every tribe of the Northern Realm had their own guardian gods. They turned the guardian gods into totems and drew them on their weapons or embroidered them on their clothes in an attempt to borrow strength from the totems.
Priests were the only ones who could train with the help of totems. They were believed to be able to communicate with the guardian gods, so they had a very high position in the tribe. Old Man Ji seemed to be the village's priest.
However, what Ding Yi did not expect was that in this small village, there was actually a priest.
