Chapter 604: Chiyan Tribe, War Lord Inheritance
A huge copper-colored totem pillar stands in the center of the Lieyan tribe.
A strange red flame was burning on it, scorching the eyes.
Eighteen strong warriors covered in animal skins and wearing hideous bone masks, hammered giant war drums two meters high with huge wooden hammers.
On the war drum, patterns drawn with animal blood were embossed, and the continuous muffled sounds were like thunder.
Chi Yan held a three-meter-long, dark spear in his hand, standing on the rammed earth and stone wall. He looked at the herd of beasts rushing towards him in the distance, and tightened his grip a little more.
As the new generation leader of the Lieyan tribe, he received the lifelong cultivation given to him by the old leader before his death, and also inherited the name of Chiyan.
Every generation of the Lieyan tribe's leader is called this name.
It is said that this is because after the Lieyan War Lord established the Lieyan tribe in the past, he was only responsible for external wars.
In fact, all matters within the tribe are handled by his younger brother Chi Yan.
So, after the brothers Lie Yan and Chi Yan both died, the tribesmen passed down the name Chi Yan in order to show their respect for Lie Yan, the tribal leader and warrior, and to express their commemoration of the ancestor Chi Yan.
Each generation of leaders is named "Chiyan".
If one day, someone can reach the level of cultivation that the ancestor Lie Yan had, then he will be allowed by everyone in the tribe to inherit the name "Lie Yan" and become the new generation of war lord.
Unfortunately, the former Lieyan War Lord was too powerful, and his cultivation had reached a level that ordinary people could not understand.
Not to mention other beast-blood warriors.
Even Chi Yan, who was related to him by blood, could not catch up with him, let alone be comparable to him.
The strength of Lieyan Zhanzun is at an unparalleled level.
Everyone firmly believes that.
If the War Lord Lieyan had not been besieged by so many beast kings and eventually died of exhaustion, he would have been able to sweep away the ferocious beasts and bring the tribe the long-cherished peaceful paradise.
In order to one day recreate the might of this great ancestor and to fulfill their dream of living in peace, the people of the Lieyan tribe have come up with various ways to try to catch up, but they still can't find the way.
Unlike others, he has many limitations such as low absorption efficiency, slow cultivation, and susceptibility to backlash.
Lieyan Zhanzun is like a beast king covered in human skin.
No matter what kind of ferocious beast's blood, no matter how vicious the existence is, it can be easily suppressed and absorbed by it, and turned into its own power.
Even those beast crystal cores that others cannot use, he can refine the power in them for his own use.
How can others catch up with this?
As his younger brother, Chi Yan is the one who can best feel this unreasonable talent, and he is also the one who understands his brother's talent most clearly.
It was a feeling of powerlessness that was simply incomparable.
This deep feeling of powerlessness did not make him depressed, but instead inspired his strong fighting spirit. He continued to research and develop how to make the Beast Blood Warrior training system more powerful, so that people with ordinary talents could go further.
Finally, relying on the divine war spear that Lie Yan Zhan Zun accidentally obtained in the past, Chi Yan, who was as talented in creation as Lie Yan Zhan Zun, came up with a roundabout way to save the country.
Inheritance!
If one person can't catch up with his brother, what about two people?
What about three people?
What about one hundred or one thousand people?
If it cannot be done by one person, then it must be accumulated through efforts passed down from generation to generation!
It is passed down among its controllers using the dark spear that the Lieyan War Lord used to fight in the past.
Since Chi Yan himself, every generation of leaders would completely devote their lifelong cultivation and spiritual will before their death.
He poured two-thirds of his strength into the dark spear, then used the dark spear to temper and purify the remaining essence, and finally poured it into the next generation of leaders.
There were interruptions, setbacks, and even an accident that almost caused the ancestor's spear to be lost.
But these Lieyan tribes overcame it and tenaciously continued the relay of cultivation.
This has been accumulated generation after generation. Although the Lieyan tribe has not produced a genius whose talent can compare with that of the Lieyan War Lord in these years, they have relied on inheritance to break the upper limit barrier of the Beast Blood Warriors time and time again.
They relied solely on this, in a sense, primitive and rough method of cultivation to create a powerful being comparable to the first level of deification.
Bare hands are enough to fight against the Beast King.
Holding the ancestral spear, his combat effectiveness soared.
Without a doubt.
As long as the inheritance continues for a few more generations, the Lieyan tribe will eventually give birth to a strong man who can truly step into the second level of godhood.
As long as there is enough time, it may be possible to rely on the accumulation of time to produce a strong man comparable to the top beast king, restore the glory that once belonged to the Lieyan War Lord, and create a large hunting ground for the people of the tribe.
Chi Yan stood on the top of the city wall holding the ancestral spear. The towering figure of the Beast King and his roar full of oppressive power appeared in his sight.
He tightened his grip on the spear again.
When he was a warrior, becoming the new generation of "Red Flame" was his dream.
He was also prepared to be killed by the beast at any time.
But Chi Yan had never thought about how difficult it was to maintain the size of the Lieyan tribe with thousands of people.
Every day when I open my eyes, there are countless hungry tribesmen waiting for food.
The beast-blood warriors have a much larger appetite than ordinary people, and one person can eat as much as dozens of tribesmen.
They barely managed to survive this winter, and the earth had not yet fully recovered, but the food accumulation in the tribe had reached an extremely dangerous level.
Even if everyone tightened their belts, they would only have enough to last another two or three days.
In three days at most, the tribe will run out of food.
Whether waiting or sending more tribesmen out to hunt, it is a slow death of constantly cutting off one's own flesh and blood.
In this season, the hibernating beasts and wild animals have not yet fully awakened.
There is only one way to gather enough food for all the Luo people in a short period of time.
Actively attract a group of ferocious beasts that will not hibernate and destroy them!
This is the best way.
There is no way back, we must burn our boats.
If we win, we will have enough food to hold on until the earth completely thaws and the warm spring arrives.
If you lose, it’s all over.
Killing a group of ferocious beasts as scapegoats before death does not tarnish the reputation of our ancestor Lie Yan as a war master.
Chi Yan looked for the third time at the huge beast king that was rushing towards him like a mountain, and there was no longer a trace of tension in his heart.
Some, only pure courage and hatred are left.
At this point in time, there was only one place with such a large herd of beasts that could be attracted by them.
The tribes of beast kings that are entrenched in the Valley of the Fallen, occupying the place where the ancestor Lie Yan fell!
"Fellow tribesmen, today, we must live up to the reputation of our ancestors!"
Chi Yan took a deep breath, stared directly at the herd of beasts that had already rushed into the shooting range, and shouted loudly.
"kill!"
In an instant, the sound of war drums began.
Countless ordinary tribesmen used winches to tighten the thick animal tendons, and operated the giant crossbows made of ferocious beast bones and ancient trees to shoot a rain of arrows.
"roar!"
Giant arrows, each more than two meters long and as thick as an arm, tore through the air and pierced through the bodies of one ferocious beast after another with a sharp sound.
The sharp and heavy animal bone spearheads pierced through the fur of the ferocious beasts and bit into their hard flesh, impaling the endless stream of ferocious beasts on the land that had not yet completely thawed, like newly sprouted saplings.
"boom!"
A sudden strong wind blew over the battlefield, like a steel knife scraping bones, turning the third round of arrows that had not yet been fired into a pile of debris that fell to the ground.
The Lieyan tribe's group attack method was temporarily ineffective. The wolves all over the mountains turned into a pitch-black torrent and broke through the spiked fence made of animal bones and ironwood in the front, and instantly collided with the beast-blooded warriors wearing ancient armor.
In just a moment, blood mist began to erupt continuously from the center of the collision.
Broken limbs and pieces of flesh were thrown out continuously, like a giant flesh grinder.
With a vicious breath, the calf-sized war wolf pounced on the soldier's throat.
The muscular man used the armor on his left arm to hold the hungry wolf in check, roared, and swung the drumstick in his hand, breaking the wolf's neck with a snap. However, when he turned around to the north, he was grabbed by the waist by another giant wolf.
“Crack!”
The wolf, which was bigger than a tiger, clenched its teeth, and a large piece of the strong man's waist was instantly lost. The whole man was almost broken into two pieces. He rolled on the ground with a scream, and in just a few seconds, he was trampled into a pulp by more wolves who rushed up.
The sticky flesh and blood was trampled into mucus, gathering in the low-lying areas on the icy ground, and turned into a brown-black pool of blood.
A pair of pale green wolf eyes flashed with a scarlet light like a blood moon, full of ferocity, and they were completely mixed with the warriors of the Lieyan tribe.
In the melee, five beast-blood warriors with blood on their bodies gathered together and charged forward in formation.
Similar growth experiences and the fusion of similar animal blood caused the power they created to begin to resonate.
The crimson totem power burned like a flame, with the most powerful warrior in the center as the spearhead, condensing into a blood-red tiger head phantom that enveloped several people.
"kill!"
The five of them moved in unison, almost as if one person was duplicated.
The tiger-head phantom created by the resonance was almost twice as strong as all of them combined. It already possessed the power comparable to that of an A-rank transcendent and began to roam in this small area.
Bite, chew, kill.
The corpses of ferocious wolves and the broken limbs of humans were scattered across the battlefield, making the temperature of the land that had become a battlefield even higher.
Soon, the team that made up the Tiger Head was discovered by a quasi-beast king with S-level power in the midst of a crazy killing.
The face of the quasi-beast king wolf showed human-like disdain, and he just flicked his tail casually when fighting with other powerful beast-blood warriors.
The force, like a giant pillar sweeping across the sky, instantly broke the three people in half. The broken pieces of their bodies hit the wooden watchtower like raindrops, and the entire building was shaken to the point of collapse.
On this most primitive battlefield, there is no command, no military formation, and no orderly alternation of attack and defense.
Everything depends on your ability and personal performance.
Either humans kill wolves, or wolves kill humans.
Both sides came with the determination to kill the other.
In the eyes of both sides, the other side is their food, there is no need to hold back or hesitate.
The ferocious beast tribe is more pure and ferocious than the Lieyan tribe.
The Lieyan tribe wants to kill the ferocious beasts to save their lives, but wouldn’t the ferocious beasts also want to devour humans to increase their food reserves?
Ferocious beasts are ferocious beasts, each one is different, and each beast king of a different kind leads a separate force.
Even if several powerful beast kings in the Valley of Death united, it was only because they were afraid that other beast kings would take all the benefits from the tomb of Lieyan Zhanzun, that's all.
Humans worry about food.
The same is true for the ferocious beast tribes.
This is a war that determines the life and death of a race.
Whoever wins, lives.
Chi Yan looked at the battlefield, and his right hand, which was holding the ancestor's spear, tightened again, and his expression became very ugly.
The Lieyan tribe has fought against this group of ferocious wolves several times.
Both sides have a rough idea of the other party's strength, ability, and wealth.
Chi Yan took a fancy to the ferocious wolf tribe because their strength was not much stronger than that of the Lieyan tribe, and they were in the middle and lower ranks among the beast king tribes that occupied the Valley of Death.
Attracting a tide of beasts is also a technical job.
Pulling over someone who is too strong is seeking death.
An opponent who is too weak will not be fooled at all.
The intelligence of high-level ferocious beasts is completely equivalent to that of humans. None of the beings who can occupy a trump card and beg for food on the ancient continent are real fools.
Humans are short of food, and so are they.
One war is enough to solve most problems.
This is an open conspiracy to force them to come.
However, Chi Yan did not expect that this winter, the tribe’s combat effectiveness would decline much more than expected due to hunger.
The ferocious wolf clan, who have always been at a similar level to them and are basically considered to be in the same boat, seem to have fared well during the winter and their combat effectiveness has been basically maintained.
The balance of the battle began to tilt.
Even though Chi Yan's heart was burning with anxiety, he could only grit his teeth and stand there waiting.
Waiting for the wolf king who is stronger than himself to appear.
If you are not there when the opponent appears, there will be no need to fight because of the opponent's innate magical power that can cover a large area.
Before the wolf king who commands the ferocious wolf pack appears, he must be forced to wait and cannot relax for a moment.
Only by finding an opportunity to kill the wolf king can we win this war that determines the continuation of the race.
Chi Yan knew.
This damned and cunning wolf king will never appear until the death of the ferocious wolf clan exceeds a certain number.
Every beast king that squeezes into the Valley of Death has a dream of capturing "Chi Yan" alive.
Before his death, Lord Lieyan performed a secret technique unknown to anyone, sealing more than ten high-level beast kings of the third level who had ascended to the gods and nearly a hundred low- and middle-level beast kings who had participated in the siege.
This is the origin of the Valley of the Fallen.
If any beast king could break the seal and enter it, he would not only be able to devour the crystal cores and flesh and blood essences of hundreds of his kind, but also have the opportunity to obtain the secret of the Fiery Flame War Lord's infinite devouring and becoming stronger.
All the Beast Kings and members of the Lieyan Tribe who knew him knew this very well.
Lieyan Zhanzun is a man who values friendship and loyalty, and values the safety of his people more than his own life.
He will definitely try his best to leave behind the secret of his ability to become stronger before his death, pass it on to other people in the tribe, and become the new generation of guardian god of the tribe.
The beast kings want to break through to the legendary beast god level.
The members of the Lieyan tribe want to retrieve their ancestral heritage and remains and restore their former glory.
The only key to unlocking the legacy of Lord Lieyan is the living contemporary "Chiyan" and Lord Lieyan's former spear.
