Chapter 365: Chapter 355: Luring the snake out of the hole! (Seeking subscription)_1

In the slightly chaotic tribe, voices bustled loudly. Lines of tribespeople moved around, trailing behind them freshly hunted fierce beasts. A smell of blood permeated wherever they passed, but the tribespeople didn’t avoid it. Soon enough, women stepped forward to take over the beasts, skillfully extracting bones and separating the skin and flesh for storage.

Inside the temporarily erected Great Hall.

The Great Hall was constructed hastily as it had only a few Qing Stone seats and no other furnishings to speak of. At the moment, quite a number of Blood Refining Realm Warriors from the Gu Yuan Tribe could be seen inside.

"The Demon Race is one of the Hundred Great Races. They originally shared a common origin with the fierce beasts in the Great Wasteland. However, during the ancient times, some fierce beasts chose a different path, refining and condensing spiritual essence to shed their beastly bodies and become humanoid — hence separating from the beasts and establishing the Demon Court. They formed a new race. The Demon Race, nevertheless, is one of our Human Race’s greatest enemies. They feast on humans as food. Although they originated from the Beast Race, their actual body form is still that of beasts. Hence, even though they have practiced spiritual essence transformation, their physical constitution still surpasses that of our Human Race. Even the weakest among the Demon Race has a physical body much stronger than a Human Warrior of the equivalent realm!"

In the Great Hall, Xiao Chen’s voice resonated continuously. Demons, who enjoyed consuming humans, were considered taboo for the Human Race, marking an irreconcilable enmity between the two races. For Gu Yuan tribesmen, however, this was their first encounter with the Demon Race. Despite the humans’ countless bloody battles to resist the conquest of the Hundred Realms Great Race, the Great Wasteland was so vast and extensive that it was impossible for all humans to encounter all the races.

In the Great Hall, in addition to a group of Blood Refining Realm Warriors, there were also two faint presences — the Queyue brothers from the Queyue Clan. In the face of so much blood Qi pressure, they felt increasingly cautious. After all, this was their first time facing so many Blood Refining Realm Warriors simultaneously. Dozens of these warriors gathered together, and their profound blood Qi surged like a tidal wave in the Great Hall.

Despite their lowly positions at the bottom of the stone seat, the Queyue brothers leaned nervously in a corner of their respective seats, ready to stand and answer Xiao Chen’s questions at any moment. Beads of cold sweat rolled faintly down their brows.

"Our Gu Yuan Tribe has traveled tens of thousands of miles from the Central Giant Stone Valley to Dragon Fall Ridge. There’s no need to mention the hardship. We left our homes in hopes of finding a Feng Shui Treasure Land in which to establish a new heritage. This treasure land is now right in front of our eyes. How can we give up? Since we plan to establish a new tribe, we should choose the best place. These Demons are outrageously wild and brazen, declaring themselves king on our Human Clan’s land. It’s about time they paid the price!"

Xiao Chen’s firm words echoed in everyone’s ears. No one spoke in opposition, for the Demon Race deserved to die for their atrocities in the Great Wasteland, tormenting the Human Race, even occupying the remains of the Human Ancient City— this was an unimaginable crime.

The Gu Yuan tribe showed no signs of fear towards the Demon Race. In the past two years, under Xiao Chen’s leadership, the Gu Yuan tribe had embarked on numerous campaigns against the Scorpion Clan, Blood Clan, Ghost Tribe, and Evil Spirits Tribe. There was not a single battle where they didn’t achieve a remarkable victory. It was due to these overwhelming victories that they were able to build their iron-blooded spirit of bravery against alien races.

"You’ve all heard the words of the two Centurions from the Queyue Clan, right? If we combine the strengths of the Ten Thousand Demon Races from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, they could be compared to the four supreme overlord-level tribes in the Giant Stone Valley. The three great Demon Kings have reached the peak of the Blood-Refining Realm. Coupled with their innate advantages, they can even contend with the half-step Blood-Refining Human Warriors. Under the three great Demon Kings, there are dozens of Demon generals and tens of thousands of Demon soldiers. This power alone is enough to wage war against any top-ranked Human Battle Division. Given the current strength of our Gu Yuan Tribe, we have less than a 30% chance of winning if we wish to take it all in one go. That’s why I hesitated in calling up troops to get rid of the remnants of the Demon Race in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range."

"Hmph! The other human battle divisions of this Dragon Fall Territory have failed our people, allowing these demons to rule the mountains unchallenged!"

"Exactly, our Human Race warriors have fought and bled, all in the name of annihilating the alien races, so that our human bloodline is no longer persecuted, no longer the ’blood food’ in the mouths of these aliens. These human battle divisions are supposed to be acting on behalf of our people, expanding our territory in this Great Wasteland, establishing our clans and systems!"

For the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe, the flagrant ruling of the mountains in the Dragon Fall Ridge by the demon races was nothing short of a disaster, affecting thousands of miles of the Great Wasteland. Moreover, the more powerful human battle divisions had not acted against them, showing no intention of sending troops to mop up, which was simply unthinkable. After all, this place is far behind the human territories, with countless miles separating it from the borders between the humans and the other alien races. Any stray war soldiers from the alien races here were cautious, fearing they would be surrounded and wiped out by the human warriors. Contrary to this, in the Dragon Fall Territory, it was the humans who had let the demon races slaughter their own tribesmen with impunity.

"Chieftain, the mountains within the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range are densely packed. It’s difficult for us to know what’s going on there. Not to mention, these demon races have intermittently been in control of this mountain range for thousands of years. Their control is as solid as iron; they know every inch of this mountain range like the back of their hands. If the Gu Yuan Tribe were to invade, the risks would be enormous!"

"Why don’t we bait the snake out of the hole?" Captain Ding Shan suggested.

Given the fact that they’ve been entrenched in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range for nearly a thousand years, it’s imaginable how dangerous it would be for the Gu Yuan Tribe to rashly assemble troops and invade the mountain range. At that time, they would be at a disadvantage, with both time and geographical benefits against them, thus leaving themselves vulnerable.

"Great Chieftain, I think Captain Ding Shan doesn’t need to worry. These demons of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range have been rampaging in the Dragon Fall Ridge for so long. All the human battle divisions in the surrounding three thousand miles kneel at their feet. These human battle divisions have virtually become the ’blood food’ raised by these demons outside the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. It’s utterly outrageous. Now that the Great Chieftain has forcefully entered the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range and killed two of their demon generals, these demon races won’t let it go easily. I’m afraid they’ll soon attack the Gu Yuan Tribe, I just wonder what extent of their power they will unleash; will they mobilize their whole race?"

Xiao Chen glanced at Captain Lin Yue who had just spoken, unexpectedly, their thoughts matched. The Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range was the stronghold that the demons had been operating for thousands of years, and breaking into it would only restrain the Gu Yuan Tribe’s war soldiers, leaving them to be slaughtered at whim. They would lose the advantages of both time and place, leading to unnecessary losses. Only by luring these demons out of the mountain range, and making their familiar terrain useless, the chances of the Gu Yuan Tribe winning would increase.

"What Captain Xiao Lin said is true. According to the scouts from the tribe, these days, all the demons that were originally out hunting have been recalled to the mountain range. Our tribe members have even seen demon generals returning. It seems that the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is gathering its troops, waiting to understand the true strength of the Gu Yuan Tribe before launching a conquest!"

With that, a cold gleam flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. Regardless of the blood feud that has existed for ages between the Human Race and the Hundred Realms Great Clans, or the current need for the Gu Yuan Tribe to find a new territory, this demon race must be completely eradicated.
