Chapter 410: Shaman witchcraft
Delores felt a bit of admiration towards Chu Tian.The Shaman Religion from the Savage Highlands was a mysterious religion and was different from the summoning and taming techniques of the Demonic God Religion.The Shaman Sorcerers mainly used curses, soul attacks, and witchcraft poisons. This kind of using a gu insect to control someone was definitely a high level witchcraft technique of the Shaman Religion.
[TL Note: Gu is an ancient chinese poison that was formed by sealing many venomous creatures in a jar where they devoured each other, concentrating their poison into one remaining individual.]
This kind of witchcraft controlled people who didn’t look any different from normal people.It almost couldn’t be examined because there was no difference in mind, soul, and thoughts. This was pure mind control on a physiological and quantitative level.
The rune Chu Tian drew out did not vanish.Clark had a trace of shock on his face, “To easily solve the Shaman’s witchcraft, you seem to be skilled in these techniques.You….”
“There is no need to mention this small trick of a branch sect.”
There were records of the Shaman Religion throughout history, but when it came to Chu Tian’s era, this religion had long disappeared.Chu Tian has read ancient books related to the Shaman’s witchcraft before. This witchcraft did not require any special cultivation techniques, rather it was just a secret technique.
Chu Tian had studied it a bit in the past.Although he wasn’t very skills, he could still easily solve this gu insect.
Since he knew the enemy, this would be easier.
“I also thought the famine around Green City was a bit strange.”Delores knit her brows. The famine was strange, but they couldn’t figure out what was strange about it, “In the past, only large scale migrations of beasts or large geological disasters would cause the beast population around Green City to change.There was no warning this time and the change had strangely occurred.”
Clark was suspicious of this problem a long time ago, “The Shaman Sorcerers should have used their altar to cast a witchcraft spell on the beast herds, leading to this series of events happening.This could be achieved in theory, but we never had any conclusive evidence and did not know where to begin. If we tell them now, the tribes will not believe us.”
It was no wonder those Shamans reacted so quickly, father had actually helped them!
They must have been preparing for several months, so they immediately grabbed the opportunity when it appeared, causing problems with Chu Tian’s plan.This was too hateful!
Speaking of this, the influence of the Shaman Religion was not small.At the very least around Green City, they had several hundred thousand followers.Now they were stirring a union between the locals. When the locals attacked Green City, the Shaman Religion would mobilize their believers to attack.For Green City, even if they aren’t broken through, they will still suffer a large loss.
“What I’m most worried about is the Shaman’s witchcraft.”Clark seemed to realize how serious the matter was, “We don’t know when the envoy was controlled by the gu insect.In the near future or a long time from now, the Shaman could use their witchcraft to control the gnomes, since they could do it once already.”
“This situation is a true reality.”
Chu Tian carefully introduced the Shaman’s witchcraft.
This witchcraft would not directly kill the host and after it entered the host’s mind, it would quickly control their brain, controlling their emotions and thoughts.The host would not know that they are being controlled, they would live their lives normally and even their closest relatives would not find anything strange with them.
These people controlled by witchcraft were like time bombs.
When the Shaman Religion need to use these pawns, the Shaman priests would activate their witchcraft and the host would lose their ability for independent action, turning them into a puppet controlled by witchcraft.
There were times when Shaman Sorcerers did not need to directly control thoughts and could use their witchcraft to subtly influence the host’s thoughts.This was because emotions like happiness and anger were created from spiritual energy and this spiritual energy was something material that could be controlled.
Delores and Clark were both stunned.
The Shaman witchcraft was mysterious and sinister, normal people knew very little about it.
This outsider was clearer on the Shamans compared to these locals that had dealt with them for decades.The use of witchcraft to control others was clearly a secret of the Shaman Religion, how did he know about this?
No wonder, no wonder the Shaman Religion developed so quickly.Not only did they have much influence among the surrounding tribes, there were also several Shaman altars in Green City.The source of the problem came from there.
The locals raised an army of several hundred thousand.
They had several hundred thousand followers after all these years of development.
There were also over a hundred True Spirit Realm Shaman Sorcerers who were the backbone of the Shaman Religion and the control they had over Green City over the years, it was a very terrifying strength!
The allied army had gathered for three-four days now and there was over a hundred thousand of them gathered.It’s said that their numbers were still growing and they would soon reach several hundred thousand. There were many tribes that had sent most of their adult males, sparing no efforts at all.With this kind of high efficiency, who would believe it if someone said there wasn’t interference from the Shamans?
Once the locals launched their attack, the troops controlled by the Shamans would attack the city.Adding in the attack from within the city, how should the gnomes deal with this?
Also, if the Shaman spirit beast and the Green City gnomes fought, would the Necromancers stand on the side and watch?Even the Druids were an unknown variable.
Chu Tian had brought all the stakes to light.
“Mister’s insight is truly clear.”Clark had not thought that Chu Tian would be so insightful.He was so careless when he was sitting in the acting City Lord that it made him break out in a sweat right now, “The Green City situation is worse than I thought.”
The gnomes were skilled in studying and not skilled in diplomacy or military strategy.Now that the water was becoming murkier, he could not think of a way to solve it.
Delores was also shocked deep down.
Not to mention Clark.
Who would have thought that the situation would be this bad?
Clark asked in a worried and shocked voice, “Then how many gnomes does mister think is being controlled by the Shaman Sorcerers?”
“It is very hard to refine these gu insects and it will consume one’s cultivation base and vitality to refine them, so they can’t refine many of them.You don’t need to worry about this.” Chu Tian carefully pondered it, “Just follow my arrangements. As long as the gnomes can hold the city, I can take care of the rest.”
