Hu Xiaotian, the old bear monster, and other big monsters quickly retreated down the hill. When they reached the foot of the hill, Hu Xiaotian looked back at Chu Tian and others standing on the top of the hill and made a gesture.
Crab Claw and Old Eagle supported the sore Chu Tian and stood at the entrance of the slope. Chu Tian saw Hu Xiaotian's actions - this demon's Taoist seed was indicating that they could take the top of the mountain by force.
They just don't want to work for Shui Wuhen!
They don't want to risk being killed by Rat Lord and work for Shui Wuhen!
"They are a bunch of smart guys, each one more clever than the other!" Chu Tian sighed sincerely as he looked at the retreating Hu Xiaotian and others.
"What a pity, the shot just now missed!" Crab Claw muttered to Chu Tian in a silly manner: "If the shot was more accurate, it would have saved trouble if it broke the blue-haired old guy's head!"
Chu Tian and Shu Ye looked at each other and said nothing.
Rat Lord shook his head and gently tapped Crab Claw's shoulder with the tip of his tail.
Youth and innocence are so good. This kid never thought that if Master Shu really killed Shui Wuhen, Hu Xiaotian and the others would be forced to fight them to death!
He was injured but not killed, forcing Shui Wuhen, who valued his life, to order a retreat. This was a good outcome for everyone!
Chu Tian is now completely powerless. The strength of Hu Xiaotian and the others is stronger than Zhan Bao and Tieshan. If they really attack at all costs, no one except Chu Tian and Shu Ye will survive.
It's good like this now!
Shui Wuhen cursed angrily all the way, roared crazily, and hysterically insulted Hu Xiaotian and others as a group of "useless and inferior species worse than pigs and dogs". Amid his heart-wrenching curses, Hu Xiaotian and his group hurriedly retreated into the dense forest while protecting him.
Just as Chu Tian had expected, Hu Xiaotian and the others were not willing to fight to the death with Chu Tian and the others!
The soldiers led by Zhan Bao and Tieshan are easy to deal with, but Chu Tian, who can spit fire from his mouth, force out thick fog, and control whirlwinds, is not something that Hu Xiaotian and his men are willing to fight to the death with, even if he is poisoned by the spider spirit.
Not to mention, there is also the unfathomable Rat Lord, who killed an old vulture with just one front tooth. The old vulture was as powerful as Hu Xiaotian and the others and was even more difficult to deal with because of his ability to fly in the air. Hu Xiaotian and the others were really afraid that they would suffer the same fate.
This is perfect. As long as both sides compromise and save face, it's fine.
Hu Xiaotian and others withdrew, and Zhan Bao, Tieshan and others packed up the bodies of the dead soldiers with a sad face, burned them into ashes, and put them in bamboo tubes that they had cut temporarily.
Of the warriors that Zhan Bao brought out from the War God Mountain, only fifty-seven people, led by Jiao Zhua, are left.
The two hundred soldiers brought by Tieshan suffered even greater casualties. Including the seriously injured, only twenty-five were still alive.
Most of the losses, except for the initial wave of beast monsters, were caused by Pixiu, Ao and the warriors they brought with them. The two warriors who defected from the God of War Mountain, the warriors they raised were much stronger than Jiao Claw and his men.
Tieshan knelt in front of Chu Tian, holding a bamboo tube filled with soldiers' ashes, which was warm to the touch.
He lowered his head and pressed his forehead tightly against the ground: "Master Shan, Tieshan is a waste. Not only did he fail to protect you, but he asked you to protect us. So many soldiers died in the battle. We are not afraid of death, but I want to go back and tell my father that there is a traitor in our village."
Tieshan was crying as he spoke. He said solemnly, "They are clearly coming for you. They...someone in the village leaked your information. We must catch those traitors. We..."
While Zhan Bao and Tieshan were busy collecting the bodies of the soldiers, Shu Ye rushed into the dense forest. No one knew where he found a bitter ganoderma from. Chu Tian held the bitter ganoderma in his mouth and swallowed the extremely bitter juice, which was so bitter that it almost made people cry, into his stomach. The juice turned into streams of cool air that circulated throughout his body.
The spider spirit's strange poison is slowly dissipating. Nectar of Bitter Ganoderma is a broad-spectrum antidote that has an excellent alleviating effect on various toxins.
Chu Tian had recovered some strength. He stretched out his hand and pressed on Tieshan's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Go back as soon as possible. The traitor must be eliminated. Also, bury these soldiers properly. This is all my fault!"
"No, it's the evil demons' fault!" Tieshan raised his head and looked at Chu Tian seriously and enthusiastically: "Master Shan is the messenger of the ancestor god. You forged such sharp weapons for us. Everything is the fault of those evil demons. They have been kidnapping and slaughtering our people."
"One day, we will use your weapons, Master Shan, to kill all the evil demons!" Tieshan clenched his right fist and hammered it heavily on his chest.
One giant mountain elephant carried Tieshan and others back, while four giant mountain elephants carried Chu Tian and others and continued to gallop towards the God of War Mountain.
These mountain elephants were originally prepared for the elite warriors selected by Zhan Bao from various War God villages. According to Zhan Bao's estimation, he would have to bring at least two to three thousand elite warriors back to War God Mountain, and five mountain elephants were barely enough.
But now, the four mountain elephants were carrying less than a hundred people, many of whom were injured, making the scene look a bit miserable.
Zhan Bao sat aside with his head hung, his spirit was extremely depressed. He remembered Chu Tian's order before the battle to cooperate with Bear Claw, Crab Claw and other Vulcan warriors to retreat to the hill and hold it. However, he shouted "Glory to the God of War" and launched an attack on Pixiu and Ao together with Tieshan!
Of the 120 elite warriors he was solely responsible for at the War God Mountain, only 57 are left!
After years of living together day and night, those lively faces have now turned into a pile of ashes!
Zhan Bao's tall and sturdy body curled up into a ball, shivering slightly like a cat in the cold rain.
Chu Tian recovered most of his strength. He walked to Zhan Bao carrying two pieces of barbecued meat, stuffed one piece into his arms, and sat down next to him heavily: "Tell me about those traitors! The War Master of War God Mountain would actually betray?"
Chu Tian looked at Zhan Bao!
These days, whether in the swamp or in the village of Tieshan, the villagers he met were all honest, simple, or even almost barbaric in nature. They didn't have too many cunning ideas!
How could a traitor appear among such stubborn people?
What Chu Tian was more curious about was those beast monsters, or simply, what was going on with Hu Xiaotian and the others?
Hu Xiaotian and his companions were probably thrown here by Jin Ao to fight for the interests of their Celestial Clan. Hu Xiaotian's demonic power was obviously suppressed to the extreme, but his physical strength was not affected too much, and he was still able to exert strong combat power in the blessed land.
They should be the knife sent by the Celestial Clan to cause trouble, a knife specifically designed to poke the soft spot of the God of War Mountain!
Zhan Bao grabbed the barbecue and took a big bite. While chewing, he hung his head and mumbled vaguely.
