Chapter 296: Chapter 287: Surprise Attack on the Valley!_1

From a distance of ten miles off the Crescent Valley, Xiao Chen, who was on his heavenly horse, abruptly signaled his hand, and over six thousand warriors came to an abrupt halt.

"Tribe leader!" Standing next to Xiao Chen atop a bronze battle chariot, Shi Ya spoke in a deep voice with a touch of puzzlement flickering in his eyes.

"There is a scent of blood!" Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, detecting a faint smell of blood permeating the air.

"Tribe Leader, our six thousand troops are formidable as dragons, even if everyone suppresses their own aura, the short distance of ten miles will easily expose us to the Blood Clan!"

"Humph!" Captain Ding Shan snorted, "So what if they discover us? If they cannot detect the arrival of our six thousand troops here, then these scattered Blood Clan warriors really deserve their infamous reputation for ravaging the Great Wasteland for decades. They should have been slaughtered numerous times over by now!"

"Captain Ding is right! Now our Gu Yuan Tribe’s soldiers have gathered here, each one has reached the middle level of the Bone-Tempering Realm or higher. Furthermore, we have five Grand Elders and our Tribe Leader with us. Both our ordinary soldiers and Blood Refining Realm warriors are stronger than them. Even if the scattered Blood Clan discovers our great army approaching, they are no match for us. Today, we must completely wipe out these scattered Blood Clan!"

In the middle of Crescent Valley, ten bloody figures circled around a slender, dark man.

"Great Leader, how long will it be before the Evil Spirits Tribe joins us? This place is only two days’ journey away from the Gu Yuan Tribe’s territory. What if they find out about our plans and make preparations!"

"Haha, Xue Sha, I believe you’re worrying too much. This area is a remote place in the Giant Stone Valley. Plus, we’ve chosen to bypass human tribes on our way here. Even if we couldn’t avoid encounter some small human tribes, they’ve already become meals for our warriors. No information would leak out. Now all we need to do is wait for the arrival of the Evil Spirits Tribe. Once we join forces, the Gu Yuan Tribe can be wiped out very soon!"

The Blood Clan’s Great Leader, who was surrounded in the center, had his eyes half-closed. He seemingly ignored the dispute among the several Blood Clan members, only opening his bloody-red eyes after their argument had subsided.

"Have all the human tribes in the vicinity, the rangers, and the humans lurking in the Desolate Ancient Forest been eliminated? They should never expose the traces of our Blood Clan!"

"Great Leader, rest assured, two days ago, I already ordered our warriors to kill all the humans within hundreds of miles from here. There will absolutely be no exposure of our Blood Clan’s trace. Plus, there are cliffs on three sides of this valley, with only one less-than-a-mile-wide opening. It is easy to defend and hard to attack. I have already deployed our elite soldiers for defense. Even a single man could hold off thousands of enemies, nothing unexpected will happen!"

Hearing his subordinate’s report, this Blood Clan Great Leader cast a glance at the narrow valley entrance, which was guarded by Blood Refining Realm Warriors and hundreds of other elite soldiers. Giant stones and fallen logs were placed in the open area to serve as barriers. Even if there was an attack, the people in the valley could rush for support quickly, so he closed his eyes again and began to meditate.

However, they had failed to realize that a force of thousands of human soldiers had already arrived beneath their noses, waiting to harvest their lives.

"According to Iron Hall Master’s report, this valley occupied by the scattered Blood Clan’s Warriors is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, with only one exit. There must be elite soldiers of the Blood Clan guarding the exit. In order to wipe out these remnants of the Blood Clan, we must first breach their valley defense, catch them unprepared, and force our entire army from the Gu Yuan Tribe upon them!"

More than 6,000 men were lying in ambush deep in the ancient forest. Around Xiao Chen were a group of Blood Refining Realm Warriors. For this battle against the Blood Clan, the timing, the location, and the people were all in favor of the Gu Yuan Tribe. Their forces were twice that of the surviving members of the alien clan, so Xiao Chen did not plan to use attritional tactics, but to have the whole army press forward. They sought a quick resolution, aiming to annihilate the alien clan in one fell swoop and secure enough time for the next battle.

"Tribe Leader, let me take on the task of breaking through the valley’s defenses!"

Shi Ya cracked a big grin and sneered, seeming to become even more brutal towards the alien clan after inheriting the legacy of the Earth-shaking Hammer. Every time he killed an alien, he felt a trace of fortune coming to him, benefiting his cultivation and the comprehension of mysteries tremendously.

"Shi Ya, Xue Sha, Xi Ming, Xiao Lin, Lin Yue!"

"Present!"

"Present!"

"Present!"

"Present!"

"Present!"

"You five, each riding your own bronze battle chariots, will serve as the vanguard. Break through the defense of the Exotic Clan at the mouth of the valley and buy time for our tribal warriors to enter the valley."

"Yes!"

Five figures echoed in unison! Subsequently, they leaped up and landed on their own war chariots, calming the ferocious beasts pulling their chariots.

"Ding Shan, Xiao Bangtu, Que Feng, Mu Wu Ya, Meng Yue - each of you, lead a thousand War Masters. Once the five elders break open the defense at the mouth of the valley, charge into the valley and annihilate the remnants of the Blood Clan!"

"Yes!"

The next moment, every soldier of the Gu Yuan Tribe began to check their weapons and armor, their eyes shooting straight ahead, waiting for Xiao Chen’s command.

The golden sky horse rose in the air, stepping into the void, Xiao Chen’s war spear pointed forward, roaring.

"Attack!"

At this moment, the valley where the Blood Clan gathered was no more than ten miles away. Six thousand soldiers gathered, and even if they were suppressing and hiding their breath, it would not take long before they would be discovered by the Blood Clan. It would be better to launch a surprise attack directly, catching the Blood Clan off guard. The journey of more than ten miles, at the speed of the bronze battle chariots, would take just the amount of time it takes to brew a cup of tea to reach.

The five bronze war chariots, drawn by two-star beasts, turned into a stream of light and madly dashed towards the valley ahead. Behind them, six thousand war soldiers followed closely. In front of the crescent valley, the earth trembled. The march of six thousand guardian clan soldiers created an overwhelming momentum reminiscent of an army of tens of thousands. In the Desolate Ancient Forest, birds were startled into flight and leaves fell rustling, as a straight path was trampled out.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At the moment when the soldiers of the Gu Yuan Tribe charged, the tranquility of the valley suddenly changed. The earth was shaking, and large stones were rolling down from the three-thousand-feet precipices on three sides. The surrounding birds were scared into flight, screeching in the sky but dared not to descend.

It’s bad!

Enemy attack! Enemy attack!

The Blood Clan’s supreme leader, originally meditating in the valley, suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out two blood-red glares. He shot up, yelling "Defend quickly! There are a large number of warriors coming towards the valley. Guard the entrance!"

Before the sound of his voice fell, his figure had already disappeared, dashing towards the mouth of the valley. The remaining Blood Clan warriors of the Blood Refining Realm followed closely, running wildly towards the valley.
