In the blink of an eye, they were upon us.
"ah!"
With a scream, Wu Shan's hand twisted into a strange shape, rendering him unable to fight.
"ah!!"
Screams rose and fell as the cannibals slowly collapsed.
They never knew that orcs without human form could be so powerful.
Wuming looked at the priest of the Wood Tribe in shock. The priest had a lazy expression, his arms crossed in front of his chest, and was also looking at him.
The mockery in their eyes made Wuming realize that the people of the Wood Tribe had no intention of transforming into human form at all.
They wanted to defeat the cannibals in human form.
Impossible! This is impossible!
Without their beast forms, orcs are useless; they could never defeat cannibals.
But the continuous screams around him made Wuming's firm belief crumble.
Wuming watched in disbelief as the people of the Wood Tribe moved swiftly and ruthlessly among their own people.
They always strike decisively and without hesitation.
The sharp stone spear was no match for the bone knife at this moment.
Where the bone knife cut, blood flowed incessantly, and the injured person was no longer able to fight.
Wuming realized for the first time that the bone knife was so powerful.
Stay calm, he can't panic.
The Wood Tribe orcs who attacked them, regardless of gender, were all tall.
Their priests are so thin, they must be easy to deal with.
The cannibals can win as long as they capture the Wood Tribe priest.
Wuming calmed the surging blood and qi within his body and stopped suppressing his orc transformation.
He pulled over a few tribesmen who were nearby and gestured for them to attack the Wood Tribe priest who was not far away.
Shen Nong glanced at the cannibalistic priest charging towards him, trying hard to suppress his laughter.
"Whoosh!"
Vines rose up all around, enveloping the charging cannibals.
Wuming looked up at the dancing vines, and his heart sank. Oh no!
But it was too late; he couldn't escape now.
The vines bound him and the other tribesmen together. He was lifted up by the vines and moved to the presence of the Wood Tribe priest.
These vines are very strange. Wuming asked in surprise, "You can control vines?"
Shen Nong did not answer. He raised his hand, put his index and middle fingers together, and gently tapped down.
The vine immediately descended from mid-air, bringing the two of them level.
At this moment, Wuming had already obtained the answer, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
The ability to manipulate plants...
Just like the person who gave him the bloodline suppression.
"What is your relationship with the High Priest of Beast City?"
Shen Nong noticed that the other person seemed to have something on their mind, so he said mysteriously, "Why don't you guess?"
Wuming stared at the other person's face. That person had said that only those with the bloodline of the High Priest could control plants for their own use.
However, the priest of the Wood Tribe did not resemble that person.
However, it's normal for brothers not to be like that. After thinking it over, Wuming gave an answer.
"You're also the High Priest's child?"
Shen Nong clicked her tongue, and the word "also" she used was quite clever.
What, this cannibal priest, did he encounter the offspring of the high priest of the beast city before?
"Besides me, have you met anyone else?"
Shen Nong tried to use this to her advantage to get information out of the other party, but to her surprise, the other party stopped talking.
Wu Mingxin sank to the bottom of the valley. It seemed that the priest of this Wood Tribe was also a descendant of the High Priest.
He almost let it slip. If that person found out that he had revealed that the other person had been here, he would definitely die a horrible death.
You can't get a word out of a gourd with a sawed mouth, and Shen Nong was too lazy to ask.
He changed the subject, asking, "Where are those people sent by the Salt Ministry?"
Wuming snorted and turned his head away.
Shen Nong understood what the other party meant and didn't waste her breath.
"You're not going to tell, are you?"
He raised his hand to move the vines away, and shouted to Big Black and the waiting guards behind him, "Big Black, smash the cannibals!"
"Guards, prepare! Aim at the cannibal's house! Fire! Slings!"
Big Black roared to the sky, full of imposing power.
They ran towards the cannibal's house, kicking one cannibal at a time.
Shen Nong grinned mischievously at Wu Ming, "Now that you've lost your house, let's see how you survive the winter."
Shen Nong raised the vines so that Wuming could see everything that was happening below.
Wooden arrows and stones flew across the fighting zone and were thrown into the cannibal tribe.
The thatched hut was severely damaged by stones and wooden arrows, and wherever the giant beast passed, both caves and thatched huts were left in ruins.
As the thatched huts were almost completely destroyed, the caves were either blocked by the giant beast with huge rocks or smashed by it with a single punch.
Winter is approaching, and if things continue like this, they really won't have anywhere to stay during the winter.
Wuming gritted his teeth and shouted, "At the far east!"
The cannibals were frightened by the stone-throwing from the very beginning.
The bloodline suppression he had always relied on was no longer effective, and he felt a sense of unknown fear.
Being overwhelmed by the well-trained and skilled Wood Tribe, their morale was already on the verge of collapse.
Now even the priests have been arrested, their homes have been vandalized, and they've completely lost their composure.
Shen Nong looked at the cannibals who had begun to give up and shook his head.
Learning from this experience, he needs to work on improving the resilience of the tribe members when he returns.
This situation must absolutely not occur in the Wood Tribe.
Cannibal Trading Post.
Wolf Rain's ears twitched slightly. "Lu Chun, that sound is getting louder and louder."
“I know,” Lu Chun replied, “and the ground is shaking more and more.”
Wolf Rain listened intently, holding his breath. "I have a feeling that a giant beast is coming."
Without a second thought, Lu Chun retorted, "The beast tide is over, where would a giant come from..."
“No, that’s not right.” Lu Chun thought of the giant beast they encountered when they were trying to steal salt from the Wood Tribe. “The Wood Tribe has it.”
Upon hearing this, Lang Yu voiced his conjecture, "Now that you mention it, I do vaguely hear sounds of fighting. Could it be that the Wood Tribe and the Cannibals are at war?"
“How is that possible?” Lu Chun stared at the sky, the more she thought about it, the more impossible it seemed. She replied, “You must have misheard that sound. It wasn’t the sound of a giant beast, nor was there any fighting. Even the Salt Tribe wouldn’t dare to fight cannibals, let alone the Wood Tribe.”
Lang Yu is most proud of his superhuman hearing. "My ears don't mishear."
Lu Chun was badly injured and had been talking for a long time; he was exhausted.
She closed her eyes, unconsciously responding with "uh-huhs," too exhausted to speak further.
Wolf Rain listened intently to the sound, feeling the increasingly intense vibrations.
His head couldn't turn; he could only stare at the sky and move his pupils to examine a small area.
After searching around, Big Black finally spotted a group of small dark figures not far ahead.
It walked quickly forward, and after getting closer, it crouched down to try and get a better look.
Suddenly, an enormous bear face appeared before Lang Yu's eyes, and the visual shock made him instinctively want to run away.
As a result, it aggravated the wound, causing him to grimace in pain.
"Lu Chun! Ma Xia! Lu Shui! Wake up! It really is the giant beast from the Mu tribe!"
Wolf Rain was injured and his voice was very soft; he only had enough strength to call out to the three people around him.
Lu Chunli was the closest, so he heard the clearest and woke up the fastest.
She didn't believe the people of the Wood Tribe would dare to come to the cannibal tribe, and that he must have misheard the giant beast's voice.
She didn't respond when Lang Yu called her.
Big Black confirmed that there were many injured people here, and it recognized a few of them, the ones who had stolen its salt stones before.
Dahei stood up and waved in the direction Shen Nong was.
"Roar! Roar roar roar!!"
Hey you two-legged creature who fed Big Black Meat! Come quick! Big Black has found someone!
Upon hearing the sound, Lu Chun quickly opened her eyes.
With difficulty, I turned my neck and saw that familiar giant beast.
No way, the Wood Tribe really came to cannibalize people?
But what are they doing here?
