Inside the camp, Chu Tian looked at the boxes scattered on the ground.
He smiled with satisfaction. These two old fellows truly hadn't held back.
He had all the supply boxes brought out, not a single one missed.
Chu Tian ordered men to move them out for inspection and sorting.
At the same time, he whispered a few words into the ear of one of the legion commanders.
Then he beckoned for Xiao Chen and Yan Wu to be seated.
He himself personally attended to a roasted whole sheep in the center.
This was an item he had brought from Blue Star.
It was a creature none of them had seen before.
At this moment, the sheep's exterior was golden and glossy, its skin crispy and browned.
Chu Tian was brushing honey onto it.
Wei Jin, Ding Ding, and Dong Dong were all present, watching Chu Tian busily working in the center with curiosity.
The aroma wafted through the air, leaving Xiao Chen and Yan Wu speechless.
This Third Master Chu, as the City Lord, was personally cooking for them.
As he fussed with it, he also reassured everyone, "Wait a little longer, it will be ready soon!"
His smiling face made it impossible for anyone to imagine that he was the one who had ordered the extermination of the Black Manglin Snake clan.
After all, the Black Manglin Snake clan's small city had a hundred thousand pure-blooded individuals underground.
And on the surface, there were two to three hundred thousand mixed-blood human-snake individuals.
The scorched, glassy pit nearby was a testament to that.
And here he was, roasting this unknown creature for them.
The smell was indeed fragrant.
Chu Tian sprinkled sesame seeds, cumin, and salt evenly, layer by layer.
The scent of cumin with the lamb made Xiao Chen’s stomach rumble.
Yan Wu was even worse; he almost swallowed his own tongue.
Chu Tian poked it with a knife, feeling it was about time.
He sprinkled on the last seasoning, chili powder.
After turning it a few times, he sliced off the meat layer by layer and distributed it to everyone.
The enticing aroma had already made their eyes gleam.
Naturally, they began to taste it immediately, all displaying expressions of enjoyment.
"Old Xiao, Old Yan… how is the taste?"
Chu Tian asked with a smile.
"Delicious… delicious…"
The two said in unison.
Chu Tian smiled, knowing that most of the beast races primarily consumed raw meat.
They rarely cooked, either eating it raw or swallowing it whole.
Even the humans in Myriad Beast City just lightly cooked their food before eating it.
They had no seasonings at all.
They didn't even have salt.
"If you like it, feel free to visit Myriad Beast City often."
As soon as Chu Tian said this, Xiao Chen and Yan Wu both paused.
It was common knowledge that beast races above the Heavenly Soul realm were not allowed to operate around Myriad Beast City.
Even those at the God of War realm like themselves dared not loiter there.
The Myriad Beast Seal… its power increased the closer one got to Myriad Beast City.
It was said that a Heavenly Soul realm individual using the Myriad Beast Seal in Myriad Beast City could unleash the power of an early-stage God of War.
With this alone, the beast races dared not act rashly.
Now, this Third Master Chu was actually inviting the two of them to visit Myriad Beast City.
What did this mean? Was he giving them a pass?
Seeing their stunned silence, Chu Tian chuckled.
"Report…" someone suddenly shouted from outside.
"Enter…"
A group of soldiers entered the military tent.
They were carrying boxes.
Chu Tian waved his hand, and the legion commander understood, moving the boxes to beside Xiao Chen and Yan Wu.
"Old Xiao, Old Yan… these are all the freshwater resources I promised you earlier. Please check them. There are eighty-seven boxes outside."
The legion commander stood before them, speaking to the wide-eyed duo.
"This…" The two quickly swallowed the lamb in their mouths and stood up.
When they were below earlier, they had already inspected them one by one. There were ninety-two boxes of freshwater in total.
At that moment, they had been overcome with greed.
Each bag contained eight thousand tons of freshwater.
Back then, Mang Tun Tian had said he would give them a thousand tons if they helped deal with Chu Tian and the others.
Both of them had been tempted. Faced with such an unknown quantity of freshwater resources, how could they not have other ideas?
In the end, it was Xiao Chen who dissuaded Yan Wu.
Upon arriving, they had brought them out, completely untouched.
Now, with all ninety-two boxes of freshwater laid out here, Chu Tian had fulfilled his promise.
An indescribable emotion surged in their hearts.
If they could take this freshwater back, it would be more than just an improvement to their lives for their entire race.
They wouldn't even have a water shortage for decades.
They could develop with peace of mind, without needing to exchange for resources with others.
With decades of time, if both their races kept all the resources for themselves, to what extent would they develop? That would mean vast quantities of monster cores.
Their beast race, by consuming and refining monster cores, could increase their strength at an extremely rapid pace.
However, of the monster cores hunted, eight or nine out of ten had to be exchanged for water.
Without cores, their strength advancement would simply slow down!
Without water… it was equivalent to death.
Water sources… in the Sea of Death, were life itself.
Chu Tian's generosity astounded even Wei Jin and the others sitting opposite them.
"Lei Xiao Turtle Clan Chief… Xiao Chen!"
"Xuan Jin Yan Crocodile Ancestor Clan Chief… Yan Wu!"
"We are willing to forge a friendly relationship with Myriad Beast City, City Lord Third Master Chu. If needed, we are willing to offer our entire clan's strength to help!"
[Ding… System prompt: Mission [Twist of Faith] completion progress 10%, protagonist still needs to work hard!]
Suddenly, the system notification made Chu Tian pause.
He was instantly delighted. It turned out that winning their allegiance was far more rewarding than annihilation!
"Haha… gentlemen, you are too kind. My name is Chu Tian. If you don't mind, you can call me Xiao Tian!"
Chu Tian waved his hand and produced a bucket of wine, mixed with ten-dollar grape juice, for them.
"Let's drink…"
...
Fifteen days later…
In the southwestern region of the Sea of Death, news after news reached the ears of all the beast race clan chiefs.
Fifteen days ago: The Black Manglin Snake clan (Emperor-tier bloodline), including two early-stage God of War realm ancestors, was annihilated! [Myriad Beast Trial Third Place: Mang Fu… Dead!]
Twelve days ago: The Lie Feng Cang Wolf, Yun Hai Ci Feng, and Tian Peng Blood Bird (King-tier bloodline) clans, each with an early-stage God of War realm ancestor, were all annihilated!
Eight days ago: The Li Feng Huo Long Beast (Emperor-tier bloodline), including an early-stage and a mid-stage God of War realm ancestor, was completely destroyed! [Myriad Beast Trial Second Place: Li Huo… Dead!]
Three days ago: The Hun Yuan Lie Huo Can (Emperor-tier bloodline), the Qi Qing Chi Ya Li (King-tier bloodline), two clans with a total of three early-stage and one mid-stage God of War realm ancestors, not a single survivor!
This news sent shockwaves through the entire beast race.
Three Emperor-tier bloodline species annihilated, four King-tier bloodline species vanished. Who was this audacious?
At the same time, every clan felt a sense of impending doom, fearing that the unknown enemy might suddenly descend upon them.
"Chu Tian, the Xuan Jin Yan Crocodile clan has sent word that the beast races are enraged. They have gathered forty-three early-stage God of War realm, twelve mid-stage God of War realm, and three late-stage God of War realm powerhouses. They have converged and are preparing to surround us!"
Wei Jin said, his brow furrowed, as he looked at the message in his hand.
Chu Tian looked ahead at the massive city.
He didn't show much emotion; all of this was within his expectations.
Moreover, the beast races' discovery of the news was much slower than he had anticipated.
He had initially predicted that they would discover the anomaly within ten days at most.
To his surprise, it took them a full fifteen days to receive the news.
"Tonight, we'll make one last push, and then we withdraw!
It's time to avenge Wu Lang!"
Thinking of Canine Wu Lang, Chu Tian's gaze instantly turned cold.
Hao also trembled, and the others carried an aura of sadness.
"With so many to accompany you to the grave… Wu Lang… you should be able to rest now!"
Chu Tian murmured softly.
Although he spoke carelessly, those around him, including the half-dead Old Yang, were deeply moved.
Could it be that Chu Tian… was massacring beast races on such a scale simply because of Canine Wu Lang's death?
They didn't know that Wu Lang's death was indeed a trigger point for him.
Originally, Chu Tian had planned to head directly for the Golden Falcon clan.
After he saw Wei Jin's sand table map and the news of the Four City Grand Assembly, Chu Tian changed his plan. Since Hurricane City was annexing and incorporating beast races,
Then… he would cut off an arm first.
Whom you annex… I will ensure their complete extermination.
You are letting the beast races participate in the Grand Assembly?
I will kill all the beasts that can participate in the Grand Assembly!
Chu Tian intended to unify the Sea of Death, and this was his first step.
First, unify… the southwestern region!
However, the path along the way was not entirely one of extermination.
Many clans were forced to sign slave contracts, or those with good reputations.
Chu Tian would sign friendly contracts with them.
At this moment, the completion progress of the Twist of Faith mission had reached eighty-nine percent.
Only eleven percent remained to complete it.
Chu Tian discovered that signing friendly contracts did not yield completion progress.
Slave contracts gave slightly more than extermination.
Annihilating a tribe, a King-tier gave one percent.
Even an Emperor-tier only gave two percent.
Thinking of this, Chu Tian looked at the massive city ahead.
This battle… was going to be a tough one!
"Brothers, this is our last battle. Do you have confidence?"
"Yes…"
A massive sound reverberated through the sky.
There were twenty thousand of them when they set out, and now everyone was injured.
Yet, not a single person had died…
Because… as long as they had a breath left,
Their City Lord, with a wave of his hand,
Infused them with an boundless life force,
And they could be resurrected, a divine method indeed.
It was rumored… that in Clear Water City, there were the most water and wood system priests.
Could it be that their City Lord came from Clear Water City?
Although they were guessing wildly, it did not diminish their reverence.
In the past half-month, all the battle plans he had formulated were almost perfect.
Even Wei Jin, who had been leading troops since childhood, was deeply impressed.
"Boss… how are we fighting this time?"
The person speaking was Wei Jin. At some point, he had changed his address.
"This time it won't be easy… Yan Wu and the others informed us that the Golden Falcon's city has a defensive formation!"
Chu Tian said this and then turned to look at Old Yang.
"Half a month has passed, and you still haven't recovered?"
Old Yang weakly shook his head, "I can't recover, unless you want me to die!
Last time I was almost detected by the heavenly tribulation, I sealed my dantian!"
Only now, Old Yang had slowly woken up.
In the past half-month,
The ability to kill so many God of War realm experts was due to the Mo Qilin.
Each time this fellow unleashed a major move, Chu Tian would deploy twenty thousand Illusionary Qilins to help conceal him.
Moreover, this fellow could always fly tens of thousands of meters into the sky.
Once, Chu Tian had deliberately ridden on him, and he had almost touched the barrier of the Sea of Death.
The other Illusionary Qilins, however, could not fly to such a height.
Indeed, they had underestimated this Mo Qilin earlier!
In every battle, the Mo Qilin would unleash a major attack.
Then, the Central Capital Army Guards would enter the battlefield.
After such a long period of coordination,
The Illusionary Qilins had gradually become capable of using combined attacks with the Central Capital Army Guards.
With their involvement, the power was simply heaven-defying.
The early-stage God of War realm powerhouse of the Hun Yuan Lie Huo Can clan was split in half by a single combined attack.
However… none of the previous tribes had any defensive barriers.
At this moment, facing the giant city of the Golden Falcons, Chu Tian knew that the Mo Qilin's bombardment might have a greatly reduced effect.
"Xiao Hei… how long will it take to charge up to level this place?"
Chu Tian asked.
The Mo Qilin shook its head and tail, saying, "My skills are all area-of-effect. I don't have skills that can break through a point."
What it meant was that with the barrier present, its skills would be difficult to break through.
"What if there was no barrier?" Chu Tian pressed.
"Without the barrier… about ten hours!" Chu Tian frowned.
Ten hours was indeed a very long time…
He wondered what the Mo Qilin's body was made of.
It could withstand such powerful compression of magic elements.
However… ten hours was too long.
The Golden Falcon clan would surely have sentries patrolling the skies.
He was afraid that during its charge-up, it would be discovered by the patrolling guards in the sky.
After all, the eyes of eagles and falcons were very sharp.
After thinking for a long time, there was no other solution.
"Everyone ascend! Reach the highest point, and fully activate the Illusionary Grand Formation."
"Xiao Hei, we'll go together! I'll break the formation, you unleash the bombardment!"
Chu Tian stepped onto its back.
"You break the formation? Can you do it?"
The Black Qilin did not fly up immediately, instead turning to question him.
"Let's try…" Chu Tian smiled mysteriously.
In reality, he wasn't sure either!
However… after sleeping for three years, all his forbidden curse skills had been restored.
For the past half-month, he had only been commanding battles.
This final battle was the time to move his limbs!
