Chapter 400 Imminent Activation
Just as the orcs were locked in a fierce and heated battle, a dazzling burst of light suddenly appeared in front of the cave without warning.
In an instant, the raging flames, like a towering wall of fire, stretched between the cave and the orcs, forcefully separating the two sides.
This sudden turn of events forced the once-aggressive orcs to halt in their tracks, staring in astonishment at the impassable wall of fire before them.
For the jackal tribe, which had been besieged for a long time, this wall of fire was undoubtedly a rare chance for them to catch their breath.
In an instant, the exhausted jackal tribesmen collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, their faces filled with the relief of surviving a calamity.
However, as one of the most powerful members of the orcs, Mao would not give up easily.
He stared wide-eyed at the blazing wall of fire, his hands rapidly forming hand seals as he chanted incantations.
As he moved, a rich, earthy-yellow light emanated from his body and rushed straight towards the wall of fire.
Clearly, Mao was using his earth-based abilities to try and extinguish the fire with the power of the thick earth.
But to Mao's surprise, this seemingly ordinary wall of fire actually contained extremely terrifying energy.
It turns out that this fire was a forbidden technique performed by Mu, the leader of the Jackal Clan, at the cost of his own life, and its power was self-evident.
Therefore, despite Mao's best efforts, his earth-based abilities proved insufficient in the face of the raging sea of fire.
Sen, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but snort coldly upon seeing this.
With a swift movement, he transformed into a dragon like lightning, flapping his wings and soaring into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, Sen flew above the wall of fire, opened his mouth, and spewed out a stream of icy, bone-chilling rain.
The icy rain, like a torrential waterfall, crashed fiercely against the wall of fire with endless chill.
At first, the wall of fire stubbornly resisted the onslaught of the icy rain, but it only lasted for a few seconds before the raging flames finally succumbed to the extreme cold of the icy rain and were extinguished in an instant.
With the disappearance of the fire wall, the jackal tribe, which had been hiding behind it, was completely exposed to the watchful eyes of the orcs.
At this moment, the jackal tribe leader, Mu, was ashen-faced. He trembled and struggled to raise his head, staring directly at Yong and the others opposite him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yong, I really can't understand what our jackal tribe has done to offend your Eastern tribes? That you would go to such lengths to launch a sneak attack on us in the dead of night!"
Before Yong could speak, Yan jumped out and said, "You jackal tribe are shameless! The Beaver Tribe now belongs to our Eastern Tribe, so the Beaver Beastmen's habitat is also our Eastern Tribe's territory. You went there to fish without our permission. Is this how your jackal tribe behaves? When you saw us there, you even dared to drive away our people, and you shamelessly claimed that it was your territory! Is this what you call not offending anyone?"
Yong nodded at Mu, "What Yan said is exactly what I wanted to say. Also, this is the original habitat of our wolf clan. Now the wolf clan also belongs to the Eastern Tribe, so this is also our Eastern Tribe's territory. Your jackal clan has seized our territory, and you deserve to be killed!"
Upon hearing this, Mu's eyes widened. "We didn't go fishing at the Beaver Tribe. Don't try to frame us for this. If you want to attack us, just say so. There's no need for these excuses. After the Eastern Chieftain's visit and some misunderstandings, I repeatedly warned them not to be enemies with the Eastern Tribe. My people would never do that."
As soon as Mu finished speaking, the jackal orcs standing beside him erupted into a cacophony of shouts and commotion.
“We’ve never fished! I’m a member of the hunting party. We hunt every day to make a living, and we’ve never even come close to the beavers!” a burly, bearded gnoll shouted.
Another, thinner but sharp-eyed gnoll chimed in, “That’s right! You can go inside the cave and check it out. If you can find a fish bone, I’ll admit defeat! We’ve never eaten fish in our tribe.”
At this moment, an older gnoll raised his hands and solemnly declared, "I swear in the name of the great Beast God that if I am lying, may I be punished by the heavens! We have absolutely never set foot on the territory of the Beaver Tribe!"
Before the words were even finished, the other jackal tribesmen followed suit, vying to shout out the same oath:
"I also swear on the honor of the Beast God..."
"And me..."
For a moment, the sound of oaths rising and falling filled the entire space.
These jackal beastmen stood firmly in front of their leader, like an impregnable wall. Each of them looked tense and determined, fearing that even a slight delay would lead to their leader's demise.
After listening, Yong slowly glanced at the solemn-faced clansmen behind him.
He knew all too well that swearing an oath to the Beast God was the most solemn and powerful oath on this vast continent, for once sworn to the Beast God, one would be subject to a mysterious binding force. If anyone dared to break the oath, they would surely suffer the terrifying and severe punishment from the Beast God.
These jackal orcs all wore sincere expressions, showing no sign of lying. Could there truly be some unknown misunderstanding at play?
Just as Yong was deep in thought, suddenly, one of the jackal orcs seemed to remember something important and shouted loudly, "Ah! I remember now, it was Shi and the others who went to the beavers!"
His shout was like a lightning bolt piercing the night sky, instantly igniting sparks of memory in everyone's minds.
The other orcs, as if waking from a dream, echoed, "Yes, yes, it's Shi and his group!" For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
Meanwhile, from a distance, Ruan Mianmian noticed that the fierce battle on the other side had gradually subsided.
She walked slowly and calmly towards us.
The orcs who witnessed this scene were all shocked. They dared not be negligent in the slightest and hurriedly and consciously moved aside to make way for Ruan Mianmian, clearing a very wide path for her.
At this moment, Sen, who had been closely monitoring the situation from the air, saw Ruan Mianmian walking towards them, and he immediately and without hesitation flew down.
Seeing this, the surrounding crowd wisely stepped back, instantly clearing a large open space for Sen.
Then, something unexpected happened—Sen suddenly plopped down on the ground with a "thud," using his sturdy and broad body as a makeshift luxury chair!
Seeing this scene, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but smile slightly. Then, she gracefully and calmly stepped forward and sat steadily on Sen's huge and sharp claws.
At the same time, Yong and Yan, along with other orcs, also displayed their abilities, quickly transforming into their original forms and standing majestically beside Sen's massive body.
At that very moment, the aura of the entire Eastern tribe suddenly became incredibly powerful, as if an invisible pressure swept out from all directions.
In stark contrast, the jackal beastmen were all pale with fright, and some of the more timid ones even wanted to tuck their tails between their legs and lie obediently on the ground like dogs, trembling in fear.
