Desolate Border Region.
The battle between the Gu Yuan Tribe and the Xue Fainted Aristocratic Family was extremely shocking to the warriors of the Desolate Border Region. For most of the human compatriots, they had never experienced a battle between millions of battle masters, let alone a battle against the Blood Clan.
"They blocked it!"
"The Gu Yuan Tribe killed the elite battle masters of the Blood Clan. God bless our Desolate Border Region!"
"Millions of battle masters slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Blood Clan warriors. I wish I could have participated in this bloody battle myself!"
The Milky Way space was very mysterious. There seemed to be no distinction between day and night, but the Desolate Border Region had already sunk into darkness. The Milky Way was like a silver jade belt that stretched across the sky, shining with a silver radiance.
But then again, even if it was night, how many people could fall asleep?
Similarly, some warriors saw that the victory of the Gu Yuan Tribe had also been achieved with the lives of hundreds of thousands of tribesmen. This was a victory that was mixed with flesh and blood!
The Milky Way was dyed with blood. The long journey had just begun!
Ancestral Court.
"Using our lives to fight." A hoarse voice rang out. This was the voice of Great Elder Ming He, and it carried a tinge of helplessness.
"For the Gu Yuan Tribe, this is the real test. With tens of thousands of years, the Xue Fainted Aristocratic Family's strength will definitely be beyond imagination if they want to improve."
"Let's hope so." Several voices rang out one after another. Some were hopeful, some were worried.
In the depths of the ancient forest.
Rumble!
Dense fog rose, and the sounds of battle rang out continuously. With the help of the Eight Directional Disillusionment Formation, Tian Fang and the 500 warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe behind him were in a deadlock with the 1,000 Blood Clan warriors led by the Blood Clan leader.
Not only that, but another leader of the Blood Clan appeared next to the leader of the Blood Clan. At this moment, they did not look as miserable as they had during the bloody battle. Instead, they looked ferocious.
"Leader Cruel, the Master has ordered us to gather the defeated warriors of the tribe and fight back against the human warriors. We should even hold them back. Of course, it would be even better if we could fight back!"
"The Master's edict must be obeyed. The lives of hundreds of thousands of warriors of the Xue Fainted Aristocratic Family need to be washed with the blood of the lowly human warriors!"
This Blood Race commander who had first engaged Tian Fang was none other than Commander Cruel.
"Commander Zhou, you're one of the few commanders among us who understand formations. Can we break this formation? These humans think they're doing the opposite, trapping themselves in the formation to lure our warriors in. Now, there are already a few hundred-man squads of Blood Kindred warriors who have fallen in this mist!"
"This formation is a profound formation of the human race. Not to mention the ordinary soldiers below, even we would be in danger of dying if we were to enter it!"
What!
"Hmph, don't tell me we're going to let them be so arrogant? I don't believe it. Although I'm not proficient in arrays, I know that this array needs a supply of energy. Now that four hours have passed, I don't believe that this array can last much longer!"
"Commander Cruel, there's no need to worry. It's just a mystic grade formation set up by the humans. Watch me break it from the outside!"
Commander Zhou's eyes flashed with a sinister smile. He flipped his palm and a blood-colored compass appeared in his hand.
Buzz! Buzz!
Buzz! As the blood-colored compass appeared, a dense blood-colored aura floated out and instantly turned into a blood-colored vortex tornado, dispersing towards the mist in front of them.
The Eight-sided Illusionary Annihilation Array that Tian Fang had set up was a thousand feet in size. Even the surrounding rocks and ancient trees were enveloped within it. This large array was merely an illusionary array and it did not possess much offensive power.
However, it was enough for the five hundred warriors led by Tian Fang to kill the Blood Race. It was precisely because of this formation that they were able to kill hundreds of warriors of the Blood Race without being injured at all.
"Oh no!"
When the blood-colored mist rushed into the formation, Tian Fang cursed inwardly. This blood-colored mist was actually corroding the mist produced by the formation. If the mist was completely corroded, the formation would only exist in name.
"Later, take the opportunity to kill your way out. Take the opportunity to get the warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe who are in charge of exterminating the Blood Race to come and increase their numbers," Tian Fang said to a young warrior beside him.
However, in the next moment, he said, "No, we've already been trapped by the Blood Race for two to four hours. There's killing going on as well. It's impossible for the warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe to not notice."
"There's no need to ask for reinforcements. Return to the tribe directly and inform the tribe of the current situation in Gulin."
Finally, there was a glimmer of light in Tian Fang's eyes as he said to the young warrior again.
Ten miles away from the ancient bronze city, a blood-colored figure dashed towards the Gu Yuan Tribe.
In the hall.
"Elders, don't forget that the Gu Yuan Tribe is facing a Blood Race family that has existed for tens of thousands of years. You can imagine how strong they are. The battle today is only because we've just entered the Milky Way Space. It's the first time our two tribes have met, so we're exceptionally jealous. That's why such a huge battle broke out."
Xiao Chen's voice sounded again and spread throughout the hall. In a battle to exterminate a tribe, unless there was a huge disparity between the two sides, it would definitely be a stalemate.
"However, in the next few days, the Blood Race will rely on their tens of thousands of years of foundation. If they want to increase their strength, it'll definitely be beyond our imagination. Therefore, the Gu Yuan Tribe needs to increase its strength immediately."
Even if Xiao Chen didn't say it, the elders of the Gu Yuan Tribe also understood what kind of giant they were facing. The accumulation of tens of thousands of years made people feel fearful.
"Alright, elders. Now that our Gu Yuan Tribe can draw the essence of the Blood Sea for our own use, and we also have a herb arcane realm to rely on, even if the Blood Fainted Family has tens of thousands of years of heritage, our Gu Yuan Tribe is not afraid!"
"Great Elder, gather all the warriors in the Blood Refining Realm in the tribe."
"Yes!"
Xiao Chen didn't plan to delay any further. The Gu Yuan Tribe had many warriors in the Blood Refining Realm. Since the essence of the Blood Sea was so magical, it was a good time to put it to use.
"This time, let the tribe's Battle Formation Masters take turns to attack the Blood Race's Floating Island."
"Yes!"
Ding Shan's voice sounded. Although the tribe soldiers that formed the Battle Formation Masters had been damaged due to exhaustion, there were still five reserve troops of 10,000 Battle Formation Masters in the tribe. They had always maintained the strength of the Battle Formation Masters and were able to operate normally.
"Reporting to the Tribe Leader, there's news from the remaining soldiers of the Blood Race!"
Just as Xiao Chen was about to speak again, he suddenly frowned. Then, an elder of the tribe walked over with a young warrior.
"Greetings, Tribe Leader, Elders."
"No need to be so polite. How's the battle going? Why are you in such a sorry state? Did something happen?"
The Great Elder asked hurriedly when he saw that the soldier who entered the hall was covered in blood. Due to the hasty journey, even his armor was slightly damaged.
"Clan head, elders, we led the combat masters of the Blood Tribe into the ancient forest to clean up the defeated combat masters of the Blood Tribe. In the beginning, the Blood Tribe was in utter disarray, fleeing for their lives without any regard for their own safety. Due to this, under the leadership of Lord Huang Xiaotian, our combat masters were able to charge straight into the forest and slaughter the defeated combat masters of the Blood Tribe."
"However, for some reason, the Blood Race Battle Masters who had lost their will to fight actually began to gather in one place. They even started to counterattack under the leadership of the remaining Blood Race Battle Masters. Lord Huang felt that something was wrong and ordered me to return to the tribe to inform him."
"They consciously began to gather and counterattack."
The elders in the hall couldn't help but whisper.
"Tribe Leader, this means that the Blood Race Battle Masters have begun to rebuild their formation. It seems that the Blood Fainted Family has sent reinforcements to guide the defeated soldiers!"
At this moment, the sound of messy footsteps came from outside the hall. In an instant, several figures entered the hall.
"Reporting to Tribe Leader, Elders, we have received news from the Battle Masters who are cleaning up the remaining Blood Race Battle Masters."
The few figures that entered the hall were similarly travel-worn and carried a wisp of a bloody aura.
"There's no need to be so polite. Hurry up and report the situation you have brought to Lord Tribe Leader." The Great Elder waved his hand to stop the newcomers from bowing.
"Reporting to Tribe Leader, Lord Jian Jinghong has asked me to report back. The Blood Race has sent new Battle Masters into the ancient forest. They seem to be trying to counterattack our Gu Yuan Tribe."
"Reporting to Tribe Leader, Lord Tian Fang has led more than five hundred Battle Masters and is relying on the formation to fight against the Blood Race Battle Masters in the depths of the ancient forest."
"Reporting to Tribe Leader, Commander Xiao Chuo has discovered that several Blood Race Battle Masters have appeared in the depths of the ancient forest. The defeated Blood Race Battle Masters have begun to regroup. Please send more Battle Masters to suppress them!"
Waving his hand, Xiao Chen gestured for the soldiers who came to report to go back and rest. Then, he swept his gaze across the hall and said, "Elders, the Blood Race is gathering their soldiers again. Not only are they not retreating to the floating islands, but they are also planning a counterattack. What do you think?"
"Tribe Leader, if it wasn't for the fact that the Blood Race wants to launch another expedition in the depths of the ancient forest."
"Tribe Leader, logically speaking, our two tribes have just gone through a bloody battle. We need to recuperate and even start to increase our strength. However, the Blood Race has done the opposite and sent a large number of Clan Battle Masters into the depths of the ancient forest. It would be normal for them to gather the defeated Clan Battle Masters and return to the Void Island. But now, they are continuously sending out Commander-level experts to lead the Blood Race Battle Masters to counterattack our Gu Yuan Tribe. This is very strange."
"I think the Blood Race is unwilling to let hundreds of thousands of Battle Masters be slaughtered, so they want to take revenge on our Gu Yuan Tribe."
Many elders of the Gu Yuan Tribe expressed their thoughts one after another. However, Xiao Chen did not say anything and continued to listen to the elders' discussion.
"Alright, Elders. To ensure safety, Elder Xue Sha, Elder Feng Yu, the two of you will personally enter the ancient forest to investigate the situation."
After a long time, Xiao Chen's voice rang out. No matter what, the survival of the entire tribe was at stake. No decision could be made carelessly.
"Next, we will proceed according to the previous discussion. Invade the Blood Race's Void Island and increase the strength of the tribe's warriors!"
Soon, the entire Gu Yuan Tribe was in operation again. Two figures disappeared into the ancient forest on both sides of the ancient bronze city.
