Chapter 336: Chapter 327: Replacing the Beam with a Pillar! (Updated Six Times)

An eerily dark ancient forest.

Numerous ancient trees resembling coiled dragons twisted and turned to cover the entire sky, their opaque black trunks and the dense leaves obscuring the sunlight thoroughly.

On a massive ancient tree, a head-sized Ironclad Venomous Spider hung in mid-air. Its protruding dark green eyes glistening with a ghostly cold light. But at this moment, this spider, which could poison an ordinary two-star Star Beast, seemed to sense danger and scurried along its web to hide in the tree’s corner.

A golden flame streaked across the gloomy ancient forest, lighting it up. Amid the sparking fire a figure emerged, clad in a Mysterious Cyan Battle Armor, mounted on a majestic Dragon Horse. Behind the horse laid more than ten corpses of the Human Tribe, their faces still etched with remnants of terror.

Gazing at the lifeless bodies, Xiao Chen gently patted the head of the Dragon Horse. It twisted its head around and sneezed impatiently, snorting flames from its nostrils. The next moment, the Dragon Horse spread its wings and sped through the dense foliage towards a nearby mountain top.

These ten-plus humans were scouts deployed by the allied armies under Tie Mo’s command, including an early-stage Warrior of the Blood Refining Realm who Xiao Chen had just slain. This constituted the third scouting party of the allied forces that he’d killed. Through the captured scouts, he learned that the army crusading against the Gu Yuan Tribe was congregating and setting off. They numbered up to thirty-thousand, excluding the sizeable logistics troops they left behind. The elite soldiers from the four overlord tribes of the Giant Stone Valley alone accounted for over ten-thousand of the forces. Tie Mo seemed supremely confident in his plot to conquer the Gu Yuan Tribe in one fell swoop.

The Allied Army proclaimed themselves as an army of righteousness, set out to eradicate the traitorous Human Tribe for the glory of the Great Wasteland Ancient Human Tribe. Their campaign being conducted in the open, with the backing of Tie Mo, a war-master from a middle-class tribe, human tribes along their path even offered up supplies and blood foods. The tribes were also obligated to present various weapons, Treasure Medicines, and even offer unwed young girls to the many warriors for their use.

A formidable army of over ten thousand, with as many as thirty-thousand Human War Soldiers converged. There were hundreds of warriors in the Blood Refining Realm, with battle chariots and various Star Beasts in abundance. The momentum was so formidable that it churned up billowing Wolf Smoke.

In the midst of the vast number of Human War Soldiers, a thirty-foot long White Jade War Chariot, pulled by eight magnificent two-star White Jade Lions, plied onward with the convoy. From within the chariot, faint sounds of laughter and chatter could be heard, causing the soldiers around to feel somewhat restless.

The massive War Chariot traversed the undulating mountainous terrain as smoothly as if it were on flat ground, such that those within the chariot did not feel the slightest jolt.

Those who could enter the interior of the War Chariot were at the very least at the late-stage of the Blood Refining Realm. Xiao Lin, not being eligible to enter, was the reason he hadn’t passed on any information to Xiao Chen in the past two days; he, too, had no idea about Tie Mo’s tactics.

Within the chariot, thirteen figures were present. However, among the chiefs of the four Battle Divisions, only Xiang Lieshan from the Bao Tribe was present. The chiefs of the remaining three tribes had departed, leaving their warriors in the hands of their highest-ranking generals.

"According to Qing Yu’s report, the Gu Yuan Tribe’s territory is already deserted. Some of our Human Rangers and tribesmen have discovered that their entire tribe has fled to the eastern part of the Giant Stone Valley and the Desolate Wild. I wonder what tactics you all have to capture these rebels and prevent them from causing further chaos in the Great Wasteland," remarked Tie Mo, still sitting upright with a look of severe concern in the War Chariot.

"War Envoy, no need to rush. The Gu Yuan Tribe is merely a small tribe. Only their leader, Xiao Chen has some strength. Their army does not exceed ten thousand, and they only have twenty to thirty Battalion Commanders. Even if the whole tribe goes to battle, could they really defend against an attack from my thirty thousand elite war soldiers?"

"From what I see, Xiao Chen’s Gu Yuan Tribe has already begun to disintegrate under the War Envoy’s evil extermination order. Could such a small tribe dare to make the entire Great Wasteland their enemy? If the Gu Yuan tribe indeed decide to firmly defend their tribal land, they will be surely be seeking their own ruin."

The leader of the Ba Xiang Tribe, Xiang Lieshan, said indifferently. At this moment, only one of the four tribe leaders remained. It wasn’t that he wanted to help the War Envoy with all his heart, but not long ago, his son Xiang Tian disappeared. According to various speculations, the last place Xiang Tian was seen was towards the direction of the Gu Yuan Tribe. Although he has many children, he favors the talented Xiang Tian. Now, with Xiang Tian’s whereabouts unknown, he already has suspicions against the Gu Yuan Tribe.

As for Xiang Tian’s collusion with foreign tribes, how could Xiang Lieshan not know? However, in his eyes, all these matters are trivial. Within the Great Wasteland, the line between black and white is blurry, and at times, different choices need to be made.

"Indeed, the Gu Yuan Tribe has already started to crumble. There’s chaos within the tribe, and the tribespeople are fleeing to other places. This news comes from some Great Wasteland Rangers. Those fleeing towards the far east are the ones in the largest numbers, close to a hundred thousand. I believe these are the real hard-core collaborators with the foreign tribes and must be utterly exterminated."

As the group of thirty thousand tribal warriors gathered together, a rolling wave of momentum stirred, seeming to scatter all the clouds in the sky. Even some two-star beasts were only able to glance from a far and roar before they lowered their heads and escaped deep into the Savage Wilderness Forest, fearing they would be skinned and made into a meal.

The momentum of thousands of soldiers could cause all the birds and beasts deep in the Desolate Ancient Forest to fly in terror, and all beasts to go into hiding.

What they didn’t know was that ten miles away from where the troops were marching, there was a green figure standing on an ancient mountain that was nearly 10,000 feet high, watching them from afar.

Xiao Chen was following the allied armies from afar, waiting for a chance to kill that Land Shadow Mice, to rid of future troubles. But he hadn’t found an opportunity yet, and now his gaze was turned towards the rear. A group of about two thousand people were escorting a batch of weapons, following behind the troops.

Night fell.

The allied troops set up camp in an open area. The soldiers who had been tense all day were now becoming noisy. When the noise died down, a figure turned into a gust of wind and instantly went into the large camp.

It seemed that they were fully confident in the security of their camp. Apart from the few guards left on the fence, there were no soldiers patrolling within the large camp. Twenty-two war chariots were casually dumped in one corner of the camp. Xiao Chen carefully unveiled the beast skin, revealing the weapons and armor wrapped in it, bows and crossbows, and even city defense giant crossbows were not few. They were gleaming with a deadly glow under the moonlight.

With a flash in his eyes, Xiao Chen waved his large hand and silently collected the weapons and armors wrapped in beast skin into the Mountain and River Seal Space. When all the armors were taken, Xiao Chen waved his hand again. Stones took the original place, covered with beast skin. Finally, Xiao Chen took out a small number of weapons and armors and left them on the surface. After everything was packed, Xiao Chen disappeared into the night.

Ps, one more Chapter added, the reason being, after all this time, this Clan Leader’s total subscription finally reached 10,000. Although this achievement isn’t comparable to some’s one-day subscription, I still want to thank all of you, the readers, for your support. It’s been over two months since the book was posted. The VIP Chapters have a word count of 400,000. This achievement is not worth mentioning. I, the Clan Leader, will end this small final Chapter as soon as possible and start the next plot—farming cultivation, tribe upgrading, fighting with foreign tribes, tribe upgrading, gathering of all tribes, revenge on the iron hoof, opening up the ancient road, suppressing the foreign tribe’s void path. The main theme is the development of the tribe. (Does this count as a spoiler?)
