Chapter 332: Chapter 323: Ground Shadow Rat! (Second Update)_1

"War Envoy, this time we responded to the Battle Division’s command, launching a thorough campaign against the remnants of the exotic clan in Giant Stone Valley. As the major tribes in the valley, we have the responsibility to protect its safety and ensure the survival and propagation of all humans. Therefore, we may say that we have marshalled all our troops, venturing into the dangerous lands of the vast wilderness where the aliens might have hidden. As such, we have left the security of our tribes hanging in the balance. I hope you can appreciate our loyalty and dedication!"

"War Envoy, in response to the command of the upper tribes, we almost exhausted all our troops on expeditions deep into the wasteland. Every single day, there are warriors from our tribe getting injured and even killed in the wasteland. When we received your command to gather our forces at the Gu Yuan Tribe, we set out immediately. However, as our elite warriors are far away and scattered deep within the great wasteland, it would take us some time to reach the Chaotic Stone Region. We genuinely hope you will understand!"

The one offering this explanation was Lei Wanjun, the chief of the Thunder Tribe. Although the four major tribes constantly had disagreements and discord, they presented a united front against the oppression of the Iron Hoof Tribe. This time, the arrival of Tie Mo in Giant Stone Valley had wrung quite a bit out of their four tribes. Naturally, they wouldn’t let him get away without teaching him a lesson and showing him who the real master of Giant Stone Valley was.

Such were their words, but who knew about the real situation of these tribes.

"As for the War Envoy’s concerns over whether Xiao Chen would flee with his entire tribe, there’s no need to worry!"

At this point, the chief of the Baoxiang Tribe spoke, "Even if Xiao Chen tries to flee with his entire tribe, where could they go? Giant Stone Valley is surrounded on three sides by the Luo Long Mountain Range. The location of the Gu Yuan Tribe only allows them to flee into the savage forests of the desolate wilderness on three sides. If this happens, it would only decrease our worries; the numerous dangers in the depths of the wasteland would never let any tribe survive and multiply there. My tens of thousands of warriors could easily trap this small tribe within - by that time, this batch of alien dogs would have become nothing more than waste in the mouth of beasts!"

"Running away to the vast wilderness with the whole tribe isn’t easy. How far could their immense number of tribe members, including a large number of elderly, weak and women, escape? Moreover, the current Chaotic Stones already have no less than 20,000 soldiers, and countless Human Tribe and Rangers are responding to the Envoy’s call and continuously assembling at the Chaotic Stone Ridge. With such a number of warriors, do we still need to worry about a remote and small tribe escaping?"

"Right now, the Envoy’s command has already triggered a widespread shock wave throughout the Giant Stone Valley. Even the scattered tribes in remote areas and those migrating in the vast wilderness have heard about it - the punishment for rebel tribes isn’t just empty words. Even if Xiao Chen possesses divine capabilities, could he contend with the entire vast wilderness? He is but a turtle in a jar. Envoy, there’s no need to worry!"

"Indeed, what the tribal chiefs said is true!"

Iron Mo responded with a forced smile, but was extremely annoyed inside. These four major tribes were agreeing in public but opposing in private. On the surface, they were extremely respectful towards the Iron Hoof Warfare Division. But they had their own way in dealing with policies dictated from above. The Iron Hoof Tribe had suffered severe losses in suppressing the Blood Clan Battlefield. Otherwise, it would not only be him descending on Giant Stone Valley this time. Why should he have to deal with these major tribes at all?

As for the fate of the commoners in the Gu Yuan Tribe, he didn’t give a damn. What he cared about were the lives of the young sky horse and the whelp Xiao Chen. The former was particularly crucial for his further progress in the tribe in the future.

"Even if Xiao Chen of the Gu Yuan Tribe gets the news in advance and escapes into the vast wilderness with the whole tribe, there’s no need to worry. I have ways to track down their whereabouts!"

Unexpectedly, the short martial artist with rat-like eyes jumped out again and said.

"No matter where they hide, they can’t escape the reach of my divine power!"

Hearing these words from the Ground Shadow Mouse, most people in the Great Hall were taken aback, thinking that this creature was indeed arrogant and presumptuous, wondering what abilities it would have to make such a bold claim.

However, among those present, there were those with rich experiences and extensive knowledge from their trials and hardships in the Great Wasteland. Even though they had not encountered this Ground Shadow Mouse before, they had heard tales of it during their wanderings. Seeing that it was about to exhibit its divine power, they recalled its signature skills.

"This Ground Shadow Mouse originated from an ordinary dispersed tribe. It was of average talent, but when it reached the Bone Tempering Realm, it accidentally broke into a dangerous area in the wilderness. Unexpectedly, not only did it escape death, but also stumbled upon a Pill Star condensed by a dying, third-ranked malign star beast, the Ground Shadow Mouse. Bizarrely, this star beast’s Pill Star was absorbed by him and refined within his body. Since then, his cultivation path has been unobstructed. At present, he has reached the peak of the Blood Refining Realm Late Phase, having opened nine meridians. It seems that he’s not far from opening the tenth meridian, reaching the true peak of the Blood Refining Realm."

A pill star condensed by a three-star malignant beast, the Ground Shadow Mouse, is truly a heaven-sent opportunity!"

Upon hearing the explanation of that warrior, some warriors in the Great Hall couldn’t help expressing their envy, praising his good fortune. Human warriors cultivate energy and temper their physical bodies, while malignant beasts absorb the essential energies of heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon, to refine their Pill Stars. A three-star malignant beast is on par with a human warrior in the Layered Tower Realm.

A Pill Star is considered the essence of a malignant beast. Moreover, this three-star beast possesses strength comparable to a Zhong Lou Realm martial artist. It’s astonishing that the Ground Shadow Mouse could refine and absorb such essence into its body while in the Bone Tempering Realm. It’s unimaginable how he managed to cultivate to such a stage, clearly not an ordinary warrior.

"Divine Power Unlimited, Tracking over Thousands of Miles!"

Just then, this short, rat-headed man sharply inhaled, his body swelling like a rapidly inflating balloon. Simultaneously, his head transformed, morphing into that of an actual mouse. His eyes turned blood-red, his sharp tusks were raised high, his sharp nose protruding, and a bestial aura emanated from him. He appeared somewhat deranged, and it was clear that he could no longer be considered a member of the Human Tribe but had become a half-man, half-beast creature.

"Commander, as long as I get to the Gu Yuan Tribe, and find any traces left by the tribe members, I will be able to locate them even if they flee to the ends of the earth!"

Next moment, a harsh, grating voice, like the sound of metal colliding, rang out. In order to win favor with the War Commander of the Iron Hoof Tribe, the Ground Shadow Mouse risked everything, publicly displaying its divine power.

"Good! Good! Good! Indeed, there are many extraordinary people among the wastelanders!"

The scene left Iron Mo impressed, having such a powerful aid would undoubtedly make searching for Xiao Chen a simple task. He couldn’t help but cry out in approval. His initial anger due to the half-hearted commitment of the four major tribes lessened considerably.

Seeing that the Ground Shadow Mouse had caught the Iron Hoof War Commander’s attention, a hint of envy could be seen in the eyes of many in the Great Hall. Of course, this didn’t include the chieftains of the four major tribes. They didn’t even consider the Ground Shadow Mouse worth their attention. At this moment, the four of them seemed to fall into a fake slumber again, seemingly determined to teach the War Commander a lesson, and not even considering the Ground Shadow Mouse worth their notice.
