Those who were not of the Hundred Races of the Great Wilderness had ill intentions!
To the Hundred Races of the Great Wilderness, the Human Race was merely food in their mouths, nutrients for their evolution and growth. It was just like how the Human Race soldiers fought in the Great Wilderness and treated the ferocious beasts in the jungles of the Wasteland as food. Benevolence had nothing to do with food in their mouths. Hence, slaughtering the Human Race was an ordinary matter to them.
"Collect the corpses of our warriors!
The soldiers of the Human Race are not afraid of death. I will definitely kill the Ghost Race that has wreaked havoc in our tribe as a sacrifice to the souls of our warriors in heaven! "
An icy glint shot out of Xiao Chen's eyes. The sudden invasion of the Ghost Race had put the Gu Yuan Tribe in a dilemma. More than a hundred thousand people of the tribe had gathered together in order to better defend against the Foreign Race. Now that the Foreign Race had invaded their home, the tribe would definitely be in a state of panic. If they did not find the Ghost Race as soon as possible and allowed it to wreak havoc in the tribe, the Gu Yuan Tribe might face the danger of falling apart.
An hour later, in the tribe's main hall.
All the Blood Refining Realm warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe were present. Tonight's incident was a blow to their heads. Over the past few months, the tribe's soldiers had swept through the Great Wilderness and brought back countless precious medicines, ores, and materials. In addition, the Gu Yuan Tribe was located in the central southern region of the Giant Rock Valley. Even though the Great Wilderness was rumored to have been ravaged by the remnants of the Foreign Race, there had not been a single appearance of them. Hence, everyone had gradually let their guard down, giving the Ghost Race an opportunity to strike.
The atmosphere in the main hall was a little gloomy. Everyone's faces were solemn, and killing intent was circulating in their eyes. In their own tribe, right under the noses of dozens of Blood Refining Realm warriors, thirty Battle Soldiers had been killed without a sound. Furthermore, they had not detected any trace of the Ghost Clan. This was an insult to the dignity of the Gu Yuan Tribe.
"Right now, we still can't find any traces of the Ghost Race. We don't even know if the Ghost Race just happened to pass by, or if they have other intentions!"
Currently, the wasteland was in a state of turmoil, and the remnants of the Hundred Races had appeared one after another. The Gu Yuan tribe was located in the depths of the human territory, which was already at the edge of the rear. Yet, several of the Hundred Races had already appeared, constantly attacking and harassing the human army. It was easy to imagine what the wasteland was like.
"Now that the Ghost Race is in the dark and our Gu Yuan Tribe is in the light, we can only passively defend. Therefore, we can only bide our time and strengthen the tribe's vigilance." If the Ghost Race still wanted to come out to hunt, they would definitely give themselves away!
Great Elder Tie Shi said in a deep voice.
At this moment, Thousand-man Commander Que Feng stood up and loudly said, "Don't tell me we can only passively watch as the ghost race comes out to wreak havoc on our clansmen? Wouldn't it be better if we can lure the snake out of its hole? I, Que Feng, am willing to be the bait. Naturally, we'll lure the ghost race out!"
This time, he had led a troop of a thousand soldiers, but they had lost a centurion, three corporals, and a group of ordinary soldiers. As a Thousand-man Commander, how could he not be angry? These soldiers had become food for the Ghost Race just like that.
Waving his hand, Xiao Chen gestured for Que Feng to sit down. Then, he said, "This is too obvious. Since he could fool everyone's senses and suck over thirty soldiers dry, his strength must not be weak. He's at least in the Blood Refining Realm. The other party will definitely notice something!"
After pausing for a while, Xiao Chen continued, "If the Ghost Race really came to our Gu Yuan Tribe to forage for food, with their cultivation, they will definitely attack the tribe's soldiers, decarchs, centurions, and even chiliarchs. The stronger the cultivator, the more precious their Essence Blood is. The purer their Divine Soul is, which is extremely beneficial to their cultivation!"
"Since that's the case and we can't lock onto the location of this ghost, then from now on, all the Blood Refining Realm cultivators in the tribe will be sent to the tribe and be on high alert. We must make sure that he doesn't return!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, all the Blood Refining Realm warriors received the order and left the great hall. Their figures flickered and landed in different parts of the tribe, disappearing in an instant.
Walking out of the great hall, Xiao Chen couldn't help but look up at the sky. The bright moon hung high in the sky, but it was shrouded by a layer of haze.
As the leader of the tribe, he had to consider more comprehensively and meticulously. What was the reason for the Ghost Race's sudden arrival in the tribe?
Every race of the Hundred Races of the Great Wilderness had an incomparably long history. The Ghost Race was one of the great races among the Hundred Races. They were specters of darkness, and their reproduction time was even longer than the human race's. How could a race that could survive through the baptism of time be simple?
However, a cold light shot out from Xiao Chen's eyes, instantly piercing through the air in front of him. No matter how extraordinary the Hundred Races of the Great Wilderness were, or how deep their heritage was, since they had provoked him, Xiao Chen, he would not show mercy. Some grudges had to be repaid with blood.
That night, more than a hundred thousand of the tribe members were awakened. There was even a trace of fear in the air. An unknown enemy made them feel even more afraid.
Finally, dawn arrived, and the fear of the night dispersed. The Ghost Race did not appear again, as if it had retreated after eating its fill. However, the Gu Yuan Tribe did not dare to take it lightly.
In the open space under the tribe's stone tower, a raging fire was ignited. A pile of withered wood was piled up, and on top of the withered wood, dozens of people twisted in the flames. These human skins had lost the essence of their flesh and blood. Even if they were cremated, they would not be able to last long. Very quickly, they turned into ashes. Their vitality had long been extinguished, and they could never be reborn.
The open space was filled with tribesmen. At this moment, everyone was silent, and a sorrowful atmosphere filled the air. Everyone stared at the raging fire until it was extinguished. In the end, only a small handful of ashes was collected, mixed with the withered wood. Even thirty warriors could not fill a bluestone jar the size of a human head.
Then, these bluestone jars were held in the hands of their relatives. Their eyes were lifeless, as if they could not believe that this was real. They held on tightly to the bluestone jars.
Since this Ghost Race cultivator could escape Xiao Chen's perception and kill thirty of the tribe's soldiers without anyone noticing, it was definitely not weak. Xiao Chen had a feeling that this Ghost Race cultivator did not descend on the Gu Yuan Tribe by chance.
"Brother Xue, I believe that no one in the entire tribe is familiar with the Ghost Race!
What do you think about what happened last night, Brother Xue? "
Only Xiao Chen and Xue Sha were in the main hall. After all, Xue Sha was the only person in the Gu Yuan Tribe who had come into contact with the Ghost Race. Moreover, his fiancee had been ravaged by the Ghost Qi and turned into a living dead.
"Lord Tribe Leader, the Ghost Race that attacked our Gu Yuan Tribe last night was at least a peak Ghost General, which corresponds to the peak Blood Refining Realm of our human race. I have been wandering the Great Wilderness all these years and have been paying attention to any news regarding the Ghost Race, hoping to avenge my tribesmen one day. The Ghost Generals of the Ghost Race may not be as strong as the human Blood Refining Realm warriors, but their ability to conceal their aura is unparalleled among the Hundred Clans of the Great Wilderness. I never thought that our Gu Yuan Tribe would be targeted by such a troublesome enemy!"
"Does the Ghost Race not have a nemesis?" Xiao Chen could not help but frown when he heard this.
"The Ghost Race does not like the blazing sun, but once the Ghost Race advances to the Ghost General level, they will no longer be afraid of the blazing sun, unless it is an extreme Yang power like the Solar True Fire, which will burn their ghost bodies. We humans cultivate the Zhou Tian Qi Sea to forge our martial path, but the Ghost Race condenses their ghost bodies and refines the Ghost Fire," said Xue Sha.
"Unless our Gu Yuan Tribe can condense the Solar True Fire and guide the Solar True Fire to illuminate the land, even the Ghost General of the Ghost Race will not be able to hide!"
"Our Gu Yuan Tribe does not have the resources to guide the Solar True Fire, but we do have a living creature that cultivates the Solar True Fire!"
"Leader, are you talking about the young Pegasus?"
"That's right!"
"Ah!"
As expected, night fell again, and the screams rang out again.
Not good!
Xiao Chen, who was on top of the stone tower, could not help but think that this was not good. He had just swept his Soul Perception over the direction of the screams, but he did not find any fluctuations. However, just as he swept his Soul Perception over the other parts of the tribe, tragedy struck again.
Swoosh!
His figure flickered, and the figure in the room suddenly disappeared. In just a moment, Xiao Chen's figure arrived at the place where the screams were coming from.
In front of an ordinary stone house.
"All Blood Refining Realm warriors, stay where you are!
Beware of the Ghost Race taking advantage of this opportunity to wreak havoc! "
At the same time, Xiao Chen's voice resounded over the entire tribe. Even so, there were still many warriors rushing towards the stone house. Everyone's eyes were filled with killing intent. They knew in their hearts that even if they arrived now, their clansmen would most likely be dead.
In order to prevent the Ghost Race from harming their clansmen again during the night, the six thousand warriors in the tribe had already spread out. They formed groups of a hundred warriors and guarded each other from the front and the back. However, they did not expect that the Ghost Race would still be able to take advantage of this opportunity.
The area where the stone house was located was the area that Xiao Chen's thousand warriors were patrolling. It was located in the southern part of the tribe. When Xiao Chen arrived, Chiliarch Xiao Qiangkun was already standing there. His eyes were red like fire, and the blood in his body was boiling like a volcano that was about to erupt. It seemed like it was constantly suppressed by Xiao Chen's arrival.
He recognized the stone house in front of him. The people living inside were a grandfather and a grandson. One was an old warrior with weak blood and was disabled. The other was his grandson, who had just entered the Martial Path Foundation Establishment Realm a few days ago. He was one of the five children who had absorbed the precious blood of a two-star savage beast and directly entered the Bone Tempering Realm.
"Patriarch, Qiangkun is incompetent!"
"We are incompetent!
Patriarch, please punish us! "
Xiao Qiangkun was not the only one who was suppressing his anger. All the warriors of the thousand warriors were begging for forgiveness.
Although he could not see the situation inside the stone house, Xiao Chen could already smell the thick smell of blood in the stone house. In front of the stone door, there was even dark red blood flowing out. It was a ghastly sight, and it made one's killing intent soar.
With heavy footsteps, Xiao Chen arrived in front of the stone door. He stretched out his right hand and pressed it.
Boom!
The stone door opened, and a weathered face appeared in front of him. It was the old warrior. At this moment, his eyes were bulging, and his remaining arm was grabbing something in the air. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. The Ghost Race did not suck away his flesh and essence. Instead, they slashed his entire body. His internal organs spilled out, and his blood flowed out, dying the floor of the stone house red.
On the stone bed in the depths of the stone house, a young figure was sitting cross-legged. It seemed to be swaying, and its originally plump body had completely shriveled. From the looks of it, it had been cultivating diligently just now. That pair of crystal clear eyes had also dried up, showing a kind of grayish white color. It was overflowing with the aura of death, and its vitality was completely shattered.
Before its life could fully bloom, it had already withered.
Xiao Chen still vaguely remembered that after he was enlightened on the Martial Dao, it was this child who blocked him like a frisky monkey. He said loudly that he would surpass Xiao Chen in the future and become the guardian of the tribe. Now, he could no longer see him!
Damn it!
At this moment, Xiao Chen's heart was trembling. Even when he was in a life and death battle with others, he had never felt such emotional fluctuations. At this moment, his heart was filled with killing intent!
The evil aura in the stone house was still spreading, but it could not be traced to its source. It was as if there was no source. This Ghost Race was very cautious. Apart from the door of the stone house, it had already cut off all connections. Its control of time was also perfect, so no one in the Gu Yuan Tribe could react in time.
The night was dark and covered in thick haze. With such a bloodthirsty ghost lurking in the tribe, the Gu Yuan Tribe would soon fall apart, even without the invasion of the foreign tribes.
"This is a provocation to the Gu Yuan Tribe!"
Hearing the tribe soldier's angry roar, Xiao Chen's figure suddenly disappeared.
The next moment, a majestic majesty appeared in the sky above the Gu Yuan Tribe. Xiao Chen let out a long roar, and a golden flame appeared at the top of the tribe's stone tower. It was the Pegasus. At this moment, its figure had already grown several times bigger. Its golden wings were at least 15 feet long when spread open. Flames raged under its four hooves, and its golden eyes shot out two golden bolts of lightning.
The deaths of the old soldier and the young child let Xiao Chen know that this Ghost Race cultivator was still hiding in the tribe. For him to be able to evade Xiao Chen's detection, he was definitely not weak. The Ghost Race cultivator was very elusive and formless. It was very difficult to find him.
Boom!
Xiao Chen sat on the Pegasus, and the spear in his hand was filled with green Battle Qi. A shocking aura spread out and surrounded the entire Gu Yuan Tribe.
His eyes were like lightning as Xiao Chen scanned the land. Wherever his gaze passed, an invisible pressure crushed and distorted the air. His majestic Soul Perception landed in every corner of the tribe.
Wherever his gaze passed, every clansman of the Gu Yuan Tribe could feel the anger contained in it. The terrifying killing intent had accumulated to the extreme. As long as it found a target, it would immediately erupt.
In a short while, Xiao Chen's Soul Perception had already swept through the tribe several times, but he did not find any trace of the Ghost Race. It seemed that he had already disappeared without a trace.
The golden Pegasus spread its wings and flew across the entire void above the tribe. Although he had not found the hiding place of the Ghost Race, Xiao Chen did not let his guard down. If he did not find him, more clansmen would probably follow in his footsteps.
"You still haven't found him?"
Countless clansmen looked at the figure in the void and could not help but have a solemn expression. Perhaps death was not scary, but it was so terrifying to die without knowing why. They did not even have the right to struggle. This would make them collapse!
