The Great Worm Lich Chapter 203 - Accidents and Conquest

Upon hearing the pessimistic speculation of the chief scientific officer of the gathering place, Adjutant Race became silent for a moment. “Doctor, I admit that the creatures in the video are indeed more destructive than any other living things from the supernatural realm we’ve encountered before, but if you say that they can overpower our wars.h.i.+ps…”

Camillo wiped the cold sweat that had broken out on his forehead and said with a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Adjutant Race, we’re not facing off with only one island, but an entire world!”

This sentence instantly caused Race to fall into silence again.

As the chief scientific officer in the Shrimp B1 Island’s gathering place shattered all hopes in the Adjutant’s heart, something was happening on the other side of the supernatural realm. Zhang Lisheng’s face was completely drained of blood as his naked body, filled with whip marks and densely packed blood splatter, sat on the head of two giant monsters that had their hair entangled with each other. With his brows furrowed, he stared at the front solemnly.

In front of him was a pile of raging bonfire that was so unimaginably huge. Beside the bonfire was an aged aborigine who was the only sole survivor of Tudenan, who was also excitedly commanding several dozens of obedient aborigine women and children to carefully carry out a long stone pillar that was two to three meters long from a huge b.l.o.o.d.y pit before erecting it behind Zhang Lisheng.

After that, he dragged out a red rattan whip and randomly flogged out a few hundred indigenous people from the few thousands of them who were standing around the bonfire with pale faces before shouting out loud, “Hurry up and push the Luami totem pole into the pit! Otherwise, all of you will become the first batch of offerings on the Luami Blood Pool!”

When these tens of thousands of Luami tribesmen were faced with the humiliation and whipping from the only survivor of the Tudenan tribe, n.o.body resisted at all. In the silence, more than ten people from the hundreds of people who were rattan whipped strode out to the fire pit and kneeled down before whispering their prayers.

Upon seeing this, the Tudenan tribesman who was still appearing to be brutal and ruthless immediately put down the whip in his hand with a solemn expression. Walking to the fire pit with quick steps, he looked at the kneeling aborigines and said, “Respected warriors, the bloodline of all h.e.l.lfire people are connected…”

An ugly Luami tribesman who had protruding teeth, kneeling on the ground wailed out loud, “Dear Tudenan tribesman, when we conquered your small little tribe, the warriors of your tribe that were as many as the branches of a camphor tree were buried alive together with the dead so leave our Luami tribe alone! Stop with this meaningless bantering already! Come on! Cut off my head and let the fresh blood flowing out of my neck become the foundation of the Luami Blood Pool!”

With this, he interrupted the Tudenan tribesman and caused him to swallow back his words.

With a blank expression, the Tudenan tribesman no longer said anything and merely grabbed the hair of the wailing Luami tribesman with one hand. His other hand took out a machete from his waist and brandished it, cutting off his head directly.

At that instant, fresh blood gushed out like a fountain from the beheaded Luami tribesman and flowed into the pit. After that, the Tudenan tribesman proceeded to grab the hair of the second Luami tribesman who was kneeling by the giant pit.

Very soon, they killed all of the Luami tribesmen who took the initiative to walk away. Even though the Tudenan tribesman was heaving heavily with tiredness, looking at the ten headless bodies lying beside the pit, a satisfied smile crept upon his face after avenging his fallen comrades with his own hands.

“Go now! Go push the Luami’s totem pole into the blood pool!” He walked to the edge of the crowd and picked up his rattan whip before roaring out loud.

At this time, there was no longer anybody who shouted or took the initiative to be sacrificed. Several hundreds of the whipped Luami people dragged their tottered steps and staggered to a totem more than ten meters long with a diameter of more than a meter wide. The totem had forests and oceans as a background and vivid strange giant creatures were carved on it, lying on the ground.

As they struggled to roll it, they pushed it into the pit where the bottom was already full of a mixture of blood and mud.

After doing so, these people automatically walked to the Tudenan’s totem pole and kneeled down to mumble some prayers. By the time they stood up, the Tudenan tribesman who was originally cold and cruel to them gently embraced them. “We share the same blood. Today, we all belong to the same tribe, the Tudenan tribe!”

“We share the same blood and today, we all belong to the same tribe, the Tudenan tribe!” Upon hearing this, the aborigines, who had converted from their original Luami tribe to the Tudenan tribe, announced in a solemn manner.

After that, these people began to bring their ex-Luami compatriots a moment ago to kneel and pray before the Tudenan totem pole in order to be a part of the tribe. Once in a while, they would come across some of the tribesmen who were stubbornly willing to die for the Luami tribe, so they would also put on a respectful expression as they mercilessly beheaded them by the pit.

Just like that, by consuming the Luami tribe, the Tudenan tribe prospered. Zhang Lisheng, who caused the reversal to happen, was sitting on the head of the two dead guardians of the Luami. Staring at the raging fire in front of him, he was caught in deep contemplation which elicited a deeply rooted silence from him.

Just a few hours ago, when he learned from the Tudenan survivors that Luami was just a small tribe composed of more than 10,000 supernatural realm’s indigenous midgets, he proceeded to command the wizard gu to fly to the Tudenan Valley without fear and forcefully attack this tribe.

In the young man’s mind, before he and his wizard gus had even transformed, when he was on the Elizabeth Holiday, he had already commanded his Crocodragon using the ‘connect’ spell to enlarge and kill thousands of elite aborigine troops that chased them in less than 20 seconds.

With his current strength, even if Luami had the protection from two Guardians whose level of strength were unknown, it wouldn’t matter. It should not be too dangerous for him to attack a tribe that had fewer than 20,000 supernatural realm’s aborigines and to obtain some negative emotions to enhance his wizard power, while conveniently helping the Tudenan tribesmen to s.n.a.t.c.h back their own totem pole.

However, to Zhang Lisheng’s surprise, the reality after the battle took place was completely different from his imagination. Just like a heavy cavalry that could easily defeat a light infantry in a sprint on the plains, the battle would be different in the swamp. Fighting in the jungle with the h.e.l.lfire people who were boosted by the remarkable magic of the strange creatures in the forest was as terrible as a nightmare.

Compared to Zhang Lisheng’s body that could be expanded to more than nine meters tall, the javelin of the aborigines were just as small as a toothpick, but when the javelins were boosted with strange corroding magic and were stabbed in his body thousands of times, it would definitely cause him agonizing pain. The cyclone shot out of his mouth could only kill three to five indigenous midgets who were agile in the woods at one time.

On top of that, the two strange creatures in the forest who acted as the guardian of the Luami tribe could even command the branches and vines to whip and attack him when they were fighting with the enlarged wyrm dragon. This made him truly understand the terms ‘unspeakable pain’.

In fact, if it was not for Island Dragon who launched the deadly sneak attack using the ‘nihilate, solidate’ omniscient power, perhaps it would have been his head that would roll on the ground right now.

The accidents and dangers that occurred when he was attacking the Luami tribe awakened Zhang Lisheng’s wild ambition after undergoing the transformation. If it was during a rainy night of which Island Dragon could brandish its greatest combat power in the jungle to attack Luami, or if he had commanded Island Dragon to attack and kill the strange mountain creatures protecting the tribe, it would have been much easier for him to win.

“Oh, Great Guardian! All of the captured Luami tribesmen had now come under Tudenan rule! Right now, you only have to throw Luami’s book of history in this blood pool soaking the totem pole and the legacy of this tribe will come to an end!” Suddenly, a humble voice interrupted his thoughts.

“Luami’s book of history…” When the young man snapped back to reality, he muttered and picked up a thick tree bark book from the ground beside the head of the strange creatures.

After killing these two strange forest creatures, Zhang Lisheng had obtained this ancient book from them. Not only that, but he also vented his anger by destroying the Luami’s totem pole and killed thousands of their warriors. At that instant, the Luami tribesmen who did not yield had their will to resist shatter into pieces. They became compliant to their capturer, with not many people trying to flee.

Zhang Lisheng did not understand that the reason these Luami tribesmen would do so was that this was the iron law the h.e.l.lfire people formed who lived in the harsh environment of the island jungle since the ancient times.

When they came across their enemies, they would fight to their death and would never escape or retreat no matter how terrible the sacrifices were, making these barbarian tribes maintain their bravery and belligerent heart.

However, when the tribes fought with each other and when one of the tribes had the book of history they cherished the most s.n.a.t.c.hed and their totem pushed down, they would surrender to the powerful enemy that they could not defeat. This was done to ensure the h.e.l.lfire people would not suffer too much loss due to their stupidity.

It was exactly these two points that allowed the h.e.l.lfire people to maintain courageous and prosperous for thousands of years.

After flipping through the Luami’s book of history, the young man stood up from the head of the strange forest creatures and glanced at the surroundings. To his surprise, he found that from the tens of thousands of indigenous midgets around the fire pit who were providing him with tons of negative emotions, only fewer than 1000 of them were still regarding him with great contempt.

“Tugra, they’re now Tudenan tribesmen already, right?” He asked in a whisper after a moment of pondering.

“Yes, oh, Great Guardian! They’re now Tudenan tribesmen,” The only Tudenan survivor who was a middle-aged aborigine answered in an unquestionable tone.

Zhang Lisheng curled his lips but did not say anything more. With a big stride, he walked to the pit filled with hundreds of headless bodies and threw the tree bark book he was holding into it.

When Luami’s book of history fell into the blood pool that was soaking the tribal totem pole, most of the faces of the aborigines who had just entered the Tudenan tribe had a flash of a sorrowful expression flas.h.i.+ng across their faces.

When the tree bark book screamed in the pit that sounded like a human suffering from corporal punishment and emitted thick black smog that shrouded the Luami’s totem pole before vanis.h.i.+ng into nothingness altogether, some of them even fell onto the ground trembling.

Very soon, the Luami’s book of history in the pit disappeared without a trace, while the totem left behind a section that was more than five meters long.

At this moment, the Tudenan book of history Zhang Lisheng placed beside the heads of the strange forest creatures began to emit a blinding ray and rumbling sound.

In the dazzling brilliance, a pair of invisible giant hands seemed to grab the remaining part of the Luami’s totem pole from the mud pit and placed it on the top of the Tudenan’s short totem pole.

After that, the invisible giant hands began to knead the totem pole into a slightly slender pole of nearly ten meters and re-embossed many vivid patterns on the surface.
