Legendary Clan Chief
Chapter 546 - 532

Chapter 546: 532

Gu Yuan Tribe.

At the summit of the central ancient mountain, Xiao Chen stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the entire mountain city. Inside the tribe, all was orderly. The tribe people were busy with their chores, displaying not a trace of panic despite the influx of martial artists from the outer world.

On that day, Xiao Chen’s daring move wiped out many external martial artists from thirteen subordinate battle divisions, he even assertively killed several, a clear warning to others. He harshly sorted out the foreign martial artists in Dragon Fall Territory, causing a great shock to these unruly warriors.

Before long, the figure of the Grand Elder appeared at the top of the ancient mountain. His eyes expressed concerns, and he softly called out "Chief."

"According to the scouting of our tribesmen and reports from the major subordinate battle divisions, more and more martial artists are entering our Dragon Fall Territory. Fortunately, your earlier powerful machinations served as a deterrent, so the people from the outer world who entered our territory are relatively stable, but this situation won’t last long."

Xiao Chen could understand the elder’s words. A large number of martial artists had flooded into Dragon Fall Territory all at once, including mostly Towering Realm Martial Artists. Although he had killed several major martial artists from the Towering Realm, it didn’t intimidate the mature tribal powers.

Moreover, because of Xiao Chen’s action, although these unruly martial artists seemed to have toned down on the surface, they were more secretive in their private activities.

Dragon Fall Territory is not a small place. Several subordinate tribes are scattered in various places. The Gu Yuan Tribe cannot cover everything. It’s impractical to manage some remotely located tribes.

The martial artists who were originally gathered in the Giant Stone Valley have also shown a trend of flocking to Dragon Fall Territory. The influx of martial artists includes formidable strengths like those in the Towering Realm and even sovereign powers. Moreover, the unseen threats of foreign race killers are also of concern. The Gu Yuan Tribe needs to plan well.

"Grand Elder, when soldiers come, we block them; when floods occur, we stop them. Dragon Fall Territory is the land of our Gu Yuan Tribe. If they truly dare to stir up trouble, let’s see if they have enough appetite to swallow our tribe."

Xiao Chen waved his hand without turning around, his eyes pierced through the rosy clouds to look at the area beyond the mountain cities. Five years had brought significant changes to the surroundings of the Gu Yuan Tribe. The rich vital energy of heaven and earth was everywhere, resembling cloud and fog. In the distance, there were continuous ancient mountains, vast land, stretching as far as the eye could see.

"Grand Elder, how is the preparation from the Tribe?"

The spark of ambition flitted through his eyes. The Gu Yuan Tribe had developed to this day. Xiao Chen wasn’t a man who would wait silently for his doom.

"Following your orders, we’ve prepared on schedule. The 11,000 top-grade spirit stones stored by the tribe have all been moved to the Void Battleship. The tribe’s craftsmen are in the midst of the final tuning of the battleship."

"The Void Battleship requires 350 Blood Refining Realm Warriors to operate. Each Elemental Stone Cannon is equipped with 500 top-grade spirit stones. There are eighteen Elemental Stone Cannons, consuming a total of 9000 top-grade spirit stones. The remaining 2000 top-grade spirit stones will be used as backup."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen gave a nod. The Elemental Stone Cannon, which has the same power as a power of a sovereign, was indeed a lethal weapon. However, its energy consumption was substantial. During the tribe’s past tests, the power of a hundred top-grade spirit stones only lasted for one shot. After the first shot, the energy from hundreds of top-grade spirit stones would be completely consumed and needed to be replaced and recharged with elemental spirit stones.

In this sense, the eighteen Elemental Stone Cannons only have five chances each. The backup of 2000 top-grade spirit stones could only allow the eighteen Elemental Stone Cannons to fire at once.

"Also, for the energy supply of the propulsion cabin, because of the shortage of top-grade spirit stones and spirit crystals, the remaining power can only maintain the normal sailing of a battleship. According to the Tribe craftsmen, if the defense shield is activated under the attack of a sovereign-class power, it can only withstand five times of it."

"What’s the speed of the battleship?"

"If it’s traveling at full speed, without considering energy expenditure, it can travel a million miles a day. If it ruptures the void and travels within the space turbulence, as long as there are space coordinates, even a million miles can be covered within an hour."

"Of course, this all depends on an adequate energy supply and storage of various elemental stones and spiritual crystals. Without them, the battleship would be nothing more than a heap of scrap iron. Given the current conditions, the battleship can only maintain an ordinary cruising speed."

Xiao Chen also understood that elemental stones and spiritual crystals are the sources of energy for the Void Battleship. This was the Gu Yuan Tribe’s weakness. Considering the remaining energy of the fleet was less than a fifth, it was estimated that after this operation, if the Gu Yuan Tribe could not find enough elemental stones and spirit crystals, the battleship could only be placed in the tribe as an ornament.

"Good! Let many martial artists enter the Void Battleship and stand by. This time, the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood is only a fuse. The various human war tribes of the Border Wasteland Region and the foreign races have gathered in the Dragon Fall Territory. As the host, our Gu Yuan Tribe should not demonstrate some real strength, otherwise, they will be looked down upon by others."

"Understood!"

"Greetings, Chief!"

At this time, Xiao Lin, the master of the Divine Weapon Hall, appeared at the top of the ancient mountain. As half-ancestral tribe, Xiao Chen’s kinsmen and old friends firmly held the tribe’s great power.

Xiao Lin, a blood relative of Xiao Chen, has been low-key since becoming the master of the Divine Weapon Hall. He has been immersing himself in the Divine Weapon Hall, leading the tribe’s craftsmen in forging various weapons and battle armors for the tribe.

"Chief, the Divine Weapon Hall has forged new crossbows, their power has increased by tens of times, posing a threat even to heavy Tower Realm experts."

What?!

A quarter of an hour later.

The figures of Xiao Chen and the other two appeared in the Divine Weapon Hall. Before their eyes stood a huge crossbow, as big as ten feet tall.

It had a glowing jet black body. A potent bloody scent overflowing from its gaping arrow slot, proof that this massive crossbow had already taken part in bloody warfare and demonstrated its astonishing power.

"Chieftain, this is the new battle crossbow that our clan has forged!"

An elderly craftsman came in front of Xiao Chen, wobbling slightly, probably due to the long hours of weapon crafting, "The creation of this new crossbow was only possible thanks to the book resources that the chieftain brought back."

Xiao Chen understood what the old craftsman referred to, those were the resources he brought back from the Dragon Legacy Tribe at the Luo Yun Mountain. Before leaving the Dragon Fall Territory to travel throughout the Great Wasteland and verify his martial arts, the two from Luo Yun Mountain gave some of their teacher’s inherited books to Xiao Chen.

"Chieftain, this crossbow has already passed through real combat. General Ding Shan, with this crossbow, went into the depths of the Dragon Fall Mountain in the West and killed several three-star beasts!"

Soon after, Ding Shan also arrived at the Divine Weapon Hall, voicing nothing but praise for the enormous crossbow.

"Chieftain, after our tests, the arrows shot by this crossbow are capable of tearing apart the scale armor of early-stage three-star beasts. Even for mid-stage three-star beasts, a volley of arrows can shred the scale armor and kill it!"

"Good!"

Xiao Chen couldn’t help but praise upon hearing this. This crossbow was indeed timely. There has always been a weak spot for the Void Battleship - the Elemental Stone Cannon on the battleship can unleash the power of the Venerable Ones. However, using the Elemental Stone Cannon against warriors below the Venerable Ones seems somewhat wasteful. The large consumption of Elemental Stones is currently something the Gu Yuan Tribe can’t afford, and this crossbow fills that gap.

Even if the current power of the crossbow is only capable of breaking the defenses of a mid-stage three-star beast, the beasts follow the path of bodily modifications. Including the Human Clan, warriors of the same realm generally can’t compare with the beast’s defense.

Xiao Chen estimated that the crossbow, on volley fire, could seriously injure martial artists below the third layer of the Towering Realm. After all, martial artists won’t be staying stationary and waiting for the arrows to come. Still, such a deterrent power should be enough.

"How many of such crossbows have been forged?"

"Chieftain, a total of ten have been forged."

"Then assign more craftsmen to speed up the forging process. Let’s see how many more we can forge before the arrival of the Thunder Tribulation Spiritual Wood."

"Chieftain, we can’t forge any more!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen was stunned. After a while, he couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh. The reason they couldn’t forge any more was due to the lack of resources in the Gu Yuan Tribe. In the process of crafting weapons and repairing warships, a significant amount of casting materials had been used.

The enormous power of this crossbow required materials that were not ordinary. Besides using top-grade casting materials like star pattern fine iron for the base, some of the main parts were all crafted from spirit materials. Even at the critical crank location, top-grade spirit materials were used. It is known that there aren’t many of these top-grade spirit materials in the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Although the places where the top-grade spirit materials were used were not many, the ten crossbows had already consumed more than half of the stock of top-grade spirit materials in the Tribe. The beast tendons from three-star level beasts used for pulling the crossbow strings, especially the largest primary tendons from their bodies, only one from each beast.

Ten crossbows required ten tendons from three-star beasts to be used as drawstrings. Indeed, there was not a shred of fortuitous coincidence. Even if it only posed a threat to low-level Tower Realm martial artists, the resources consumed to produce one crossbow could equate to several top-low-grade battle divisions.

Even the arrows used by the crossbow were specially forged, now classified as semi-spirit weapon level. One arrow is as thick as an adult’s arm, three feet long, requiring more than ten kilos of spirit materials, and all the rest were top-grade top-tier casting materials.

In the end, Xiao Chen could only give up, giving orders to the God Weapon Hall to install the ten crossbows onto the Void Battleship soon. He then ordered the craftsmen in the tribe to speed up the crafting of the semi-spirit weapon arrows, preparing for the upcoming crisis.

Eighty thousand miles deep in the Dragon Fall Mountain Ranges in the east region of Dragon Fall Territory.

A hidden valley, surrounded by mountains, veiled in mist, represented a wild world. Deep in the valley, there was a strange ancient tree, radiating a light color of purple and gold, and sparkling glow amidst the rosy clouds.

This ancient tree had a thickness of one zhang. Golden thread wound in and out of the creased bark, strings of lightning lingered between the trunk and the branches. The entire ancient tree looked quite magnificent, emitting an aura of vicissitudes. It was evident that it had lived for quite some time.

PS Poor chieftain was very proud yesterday, and accidentally spilled a cup of water on my laptop, causing it to retire honorably. My new laptop probably won’t arrive until this afternoon, so I typed this Chapter on my phone.

Also, set in the previous Chapters, the subcannon of the Elemental Stone Cannon can be fired five times with a hundred pieces of top-grade spirit stones. In this Chapter, the chieftain changed it to one time. The modification function for the previous text was locked. The chieftain will contact the editor to make amendments.
