Chapter 639: Chapter 625: A Corner of the Wilderness, The Red Bear is Surrounded (Monthly Ticket Added!)_1

On the third day after the arrival of the Iron Hoof Tribe Chief, the Chiefs of both the Blue Mountain Combat Clan and Transcendent Halberd Combat Faction, which were both middle-grade clans, arrived at the Gu Yuan Tribe. Only the Chief from the middle-grade Red Bear Combat Clan was yet to arrive.

The Blue Mountain Combat Clan was situated to the east of the Iron Hoof War Division, backed by the Luo Long Mountain Range. The two large tribes don’t border each other, separated by approximately 30,000 miles of wilderness.

Actually, across the vast wilderness, there aren’t many tribes that are in close vicinity to each other like the Gu Yuan Tribe and Iron Hoof War Division. Furthermore, the proximity between the two large War Divisions of Gu Yuan and Iron Hoof was formed due to a specific reason.

The Transcendent Halberd Combat Faction was located in the northeastern district of the Iron Hoof War Division, and equally did not border with the Iron Hoof War Division. The location of the Red Bear Combat Clan was even further, being to the east of both the Transcendent Halberd and Blue Mountain Combat Clans. With a staggering distance of 400,000 miles from the Gu Yuan Tribe, it was entirely normal for them not to have arrived within these three days.

"The three Chiefs have travelled a great distance to my Gu Yuan Tribe, your journey must have been exhausting," said Xiao Chen, looking down at the three warriors sitting side by side, he said lightly with a smile.

"You’re being too kind, respected sir. We’re here to follow the Imperial Command of the Ancestral Court and answer to your orders," replied the three Chiefs sincerely, expressing their fear and apprehension. Xiao Chen’s fame was widely known across the Border Wasteland Region. Even though their tribes were situated in remote corners of this region, his name was as familiar to them as thunderclaps. Now that Xiao Chen had ascended to the rank of ’respected’, he represented the pinnacle of the combat power in the Border Wasteland Region, leaving them no choice but to tread carefully.

In actuality, all their major tribes, including the Gu Yuan Tribe, were located at the edges of the Border Wasteland Region. They were conveniently situated in the southwestern corner, in close proximity to the massive Luo Long Mountain Range.

"The Iron Hoof Tribe is our neighbor, hence the Iron Hoof Tribe Chief arrived a few days earlier and informed me about the state of the Iron Hoof Tribe. I’m wondering if the Chiefs of the Blue and Yue Clans have experienced any abnormal occurrences within their tribes," Xiao Chen inquired.

All the major tribes were located on the fringes of the Border Wasteland Region. Including the Gu Yuan Tribe, there were a total of 90 middle-grade Combat Divisions in the Border Wasteland Region. All of their tribes were among the weaker ones.

The Chief of the Blue Mountain Combat Clan was an elder whose cultivation was at the pinnacle of the third level of the Layered Tower Realm. Despite his advanced age, he wore a black battle robe, looked stern, and exuded an aura of vitality. While his vitality wasn’t at its peak, it hadn’t shown any signs of decline either.

The Chief of the Transcendent Halberd Combat Division was a middle-aged man named Yue Hu. His strength was also at the third level of the Layered Tower Realm, but Xiao Chen sensed that his vitality was at its zenith. He could breakthrough the Thunderfire Tribulation at any moment and ascend to the fourth level of the Layered Tower Realm.

"Chief Xiao," the elder from the Blue Mountain Combat Clan was the first to rise, having calmed his initial unease.

"My Blue Mountain Combat Division is located near the Luo Long Mountain Range and we have seen continuous beast tides over the past few days. Every three to five days, there’s been a three-star ferocious beast leading waves of up to tens of thousands of beasts to attack our Great Camp," he reported.

"The Transcendent Halberd Combat Division hasn’t been invaded. However, there’s a dangerous territory known as the Falling Wind Cliff about 10,000 miles from our territory. Usually, it’s scarcely populated, but recently our War Masters have noticed some unusual activities there," said the Chief of the Transcendent Halberd Combat Division, who stood up next to continue.

"Not only that, but also a group of our War Masters went to investigate and vanished without any trace. Initially, I intended to go personally to the Falling Wind Cliff to investigate, but then received the decree from our Ancestral Court to visit Chief Xiao at the Gu Yuan Tribe," he added.

"Thus, before departing, I had already instructed our warriors not to make any rash moves and only offered steadfast defense to our tribe. This is to prevent any provocations from the weak, which may drive the snake out of hiding. We trust Chief Xiao to make the right decision," he declared.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded, considering the situation carefully. It seemed that the entire Border Wasteland Region was being haunted by the remnants of the Exotic Clan, and the situation was undoubtedly severe. Their several major tribes were merely located on the edges of the Border Wasteland Region, yet they were also being infiltrated by the Exotic Clan.

No one knew how many Exotic foreigners were lurking deep in the Border Wasteland. The start of the Battle of the River of Realm allowed the Exotic foreigners, who had remained quiet for a long time and accumulated strength, to seize an opportunity.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Chen informed the three individuals present about the imminent arrival of the Heavens’ River in the Empty World. This let them understand that although their tribes were affected to varying degrees and they had yet to discover real signs of the Exotic Clan, the only ones who could cause such disruption in the Border Wasteland had to be members of the Exotic Clan.

The hidden strangers near the Transcendent Halberd Combat Faction, and the beast tide encountered by the Blue Mountain Combat Division, these incidences undoubtedly affirmed Xiao Chen’s suspicions of the Exotic Clan’s malicious activities.

"Chief Xiao, upon the arrival of the Heavens’ River outside the Border Wasteland of the Empty World, would we in the Border Wasteland be able to resist them?" asked one of the Chiefs.

The reality presented by Xiao Chen made the three chiefs shiver with cold sweats down their backs. Despite them controlling their tribes and commanding thousands of affiliated tribes, they remained powerless in the face of such a grave crisis.

"Hmph!" Upon seeing the trace of fear in the expressions of the three chiefs, Xiao Chen let out a disdainful snort, jolting them awake instantly.

"Since the ancient era of the Desolate Wilds, the Human Emperor emerged to lead the human race to fight against the Hundred Clans. Subsequent human emperors continued to inherit this task and guard over the Desolate Land of the Human Realm. Have you ever seen our human race give up even an inch of our land?" asked Xiao Chen.

"What’s there to fear about the Exotic Clans!? Our human race resisted the conquest of the Hundred Clans with unyielding fighting spirit and fearless determination. Could these few years of peace have made the blood flowing in your veins feel cold?" demanded Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen’s roar was as ceaseless as the tide, continually pouring into the three men’s ears, creating a buzzing noise.

"We are ashamed!"

The three men, awakened by Xiao Chen, were instantly flushed, their bare arms revealing bulging veins.

Seeing the three men wake up, Xiao Chen’s momentum gradually melted away. He understood that the Heavens’ River could be deemed a nightmare for any warrior; they were just shocked by the sudden news.

Then Xiao Chen’s tone softened, "Our Human Warriors are numerous. Even if the Heavens’ River descends, the Human Ancestral Court will not let foreign tribes rampage. This time, as the Clan Leader, I was ordered by an imperial command to launch a conquest in the Great Wasteland to eliminate the survivors of the Exotic Tribe who dared to make waves on this Wilderness, so that we can fully prepare for the battle of the River of Realm!"

During Xiao Chen’s conversation with the three Battle Tribe Leaders, far away, hundreds of thousands of miles away near the Luo Long Mountain Range, there was a middle-ranked Battle Division of the human race deep in the Desolate Ancient Forest.

At the end of the mountain range, the Human Tribe had built their homes following the mountainous terrain.

Leaning against a 3,000-foot ancient mountain cliff, the entire Mountain City was built around the surrounding chaotic stones. Thus, it looked quite irregular, but its defense was very strong. The tall ancient stones formed the city wall, with iron water cast onto it, forming a natural defense.

However, at this moment, an oppressive atmosphere pervaded the entire Mountain City.

The smell of blood!

A sticky layer of blood seemed to have been freshly spilled upon the dark city wall. Even within some crevices in the stones, bits of flesh could still be found.

On the city wall were the War Soldiers, except for some guards, the rest were sprawled on the ground, sound asleep, seemingly exhausted. They could fall asleep at any moment, completely unconcerned about the dried blood on the ground.

At the back of the Mountain City, a pavilion was hung on a cliff thousands of feet high. At the top of the pavilion, a man as robust as a bear stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the Desolate Ancient Forest outside the Mountain City, indifferent to his tattered battle robe and even a bloodstain on his arm.

Behind him were three warriors, all of whom exuded an aura of blood and qi. They were warriors of the Layered Tower Realm.

Looking at the now silent Desolate Ancient Forest outside the Mountain City, there was a hint of worry in their eyes. A few breaths later, a warrior stepped forward, "Chief!"

However, the bear-like robust man stopped him from speaking. He stretched out his arm, pointing towards the Ancient Forest outside the city. Although the place the robust man pointed to was gloomy, they could all sense several extremely hidden auras there.

"These diverse exotic debris have received support; it looks like they are going to attack again!"

"They’ve been besieging my Red Bear Battle Division day and night for the past three days, even disregarding casualties. Have they gone mad?"

Upon hearing the elder’s words, the robust man couldn’t help but bitter smile. His Red Bear Battle Division was adjacent to the Luo Long Mountain Range and was located in a remote area. Even the nearest Battle Division of the same rank was hundreds of thousands of miles away. They used to have little contact and could be said to be isolated on the outskirts of the Border Wasteland. Unexpectedly, this allowed the Exotic Tribes to take advantage of them.

Five days ago, he received an imperial command from the Ancestral Court stating that his tribe had been placed under the jurisdiction of Xiao, the Clan Leader of the Gu Yuan Tribe. He had planned to move to the Gu Yuan Tribe, but before he could set off, the entire Battle Division was surrounded by tens of thousands of foreign War Masters. These foreign alliance armies that he didn’t know where they came from caught him off guard, resulting in the brutal killing of tens of thousands of his tribespeople.

They had barely managed to re-establish defenses in the Mountain City, only to face the Exotic Tribe’s relentless attack for three consecutive days. Over the course of these three days, more than half of the War Masters of his Red Bear Battle Division were killed. However, the opposite Exotic Tribe was like a mad dog that held on desperately.

The enormous casualties forced the Exotic Tribe to pause its aggression. Yet merely half a day later, another Exotic Tribe War Master appeared from the depths of the Dragon Fall Mountain Range, completely surrounding his Red Bear Battle Division.

Looking at the Exotic Tribe War Masters outside who wanted to attack again, the Red Bear Tribe Chief’s eyes flashed viciousness and insanity. He spoke to one of the warriors behind him, "Elder Feng, your battle beast is the Wind Thunder Crane. Out of all of us, you’re the fastest. When the other two elders and I distract the strong ones from the Exotic Tribe, you take advantage of the situation to breakout from the encirclement and go to the Gu Yuan Tribe for help!"

"But, Chief..."

"There’s no buts," the robust man yelled, "Remember, after you breakout, go to the Gu Yuan Tribe and ask Clan Leader Xiao for help. Otherwise, my Red Bear Battle Division with hundreds of thousands of the tribe people will suffer a horrific massacre!"

"Go!"

In the next moment, the robust man rushed toward the city’s exterior to meet a Monster Tribe member, triggering a shriek of battle cries again. The Exotic Tribe had begun its attack!
