Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures-The Primordial Era War: A Forceful Entrance
The ancient Primordial Era was very generous to hunters from the East, allowing them to freely choose the treasures growing on it. A large number of Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng were taken away by these hunters from the East.
The hunters of the East have been quiet these days. They no longer attack the ferocious beasts, but instead dig out tools belonging to civilized beings—traps! Unfortunately, the traps are not very effective against the countless ferocious beasts!
They finally realized that what makes humans superior to other species is their intelligence!
Wisdom taught them that avoiding the strong and attacking the weak, achieving the greatest results with the least effort, was the wisest course of action. After repeated failures against countless ferocious beasts, these Eastern hunters learned that they needed unity! Or, they needed to utilize the strength of others!
Inside a rather ornate tent, representatives of the eight major powers gathered. Today was a turning point in their fate in the Primordial Era world.
"Everyone, the reason my Li Family has gathered you all here today is to deal with those hordes of ferocious beasts. My Li Family believes that we should unite and fight them together to obtain a large number of furs. Otherwise, the harvest we have gained from our hard work in this Primordial Era will be pitifully small!" The leader of the Li Family, the current Second Elder, said with a smile to the other important figures.
Goryeo Korean immediately continued, "What the Second Elder said makes a lot of sense. I believe everyone has discovered these past few days that the ferocious beasts in the Primordial Era are not so easy to deal with. They are very united, usually in units of tens of thousands, and there are even some leaders among them who are extremely powerful!"
The Jin Kingdom seemed to agree, exclaiming, "Yes, those Azure Wolf Pack we encountered last time were truly formidable. After several encounters with them, we've developed some strategies. We killed quite a few last time, but suddenly a dozen even larger blue wolves appeared—let's call them the Blue Wolf Leaders. These Blue Wolf Leaders are incredibly powerful! None of my men were a match for them. The casualties were heavy!"
Shi Ming smiled and said, "Actually, it's just like humans. How could there be no leader among tens of thousands of beasts? It's normal that they are stronger than ordinary beasts. Everyone probably failed because of these leaders!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Shi Ming glanced at the Second Elder and cursed inwardly, "Your Li Family must have experts at the Heavenly Realm and Divine Realm here this time. And now you've even gathered everyone here to discuss this. Damn it, once your Li Family's experts make a move, what beast leader is that? It'll be a piece of cake! I really don't know what you're up to!"
In fact, the Shi Family also brought along experts from the Heavenly Realm, and they had the same plan: they only allowed themselves to do this, and forbade others to do it. This is perhaps a common human failing.
The Second Elder, with a kind face, held a cup of tea in his hands, took a slow sip, and said, "Everyone, since that's the case, I propose that our eight teams unite and act together. This will make dealing with the ferocious beasts much easier!"
Shi Dong immediately agreed, saying, "If the Shi Family agrees, how could we not approve of a proposal that benefits everyone?"
The representatives of the other factions discussed among themselves, and finally everyone agreed.
"Alright, now all we need to do is make arrangements on how to deal with these ferocious beasts," the Second Elder immediately said.
Shi Dong smiled and said, "It seems that the Second Elder already has a strategy. Please tell Second Elder!" Since others have the same plan as him, why should he tell them?
The Second Elder gave Shi Dong a deep look, smiled, and said nothing.
The other major powers seemed to know they didn't have enough influence to speak, so they remained silent. For a moment, the entire tent was somewhat quiet.
The Second Elder still had a faint smile on his face, unchanged, seemingly oblivious to the oppressive atmosphere in the tent, enjoying the seemingly endless cup of tea.
Finally, Shi Dong couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Since the Second Elder won't say anything, I propose that, for the sake of fairness, each force should send half of its troops. This way, half of the troops from the eight major forces can be gathered together. That should amount to about 20,000 men, which should be enough to deal with those ferocious beasts! If there are too many beasts, then the remaining 20,000 should also be deployed!"
At this moment, Yelu Hongfan of the Liao Kingdom stepped forward and said, "I agree to this, but I would like to know how everyone plans to distribute the furs, lingzhi mushrooms, and other items!"
All the attendees immediately focused their attention; they knew that this was the crucial part of the meeting: profit distribution.
"It's based on the number of people deployed. The more people deployed, the more supplies will be allocated!" said the representative of the largest earl Lineage alliance.
The Second Elder sneered and said, "Can a Fifth Rank expert be considered equal in value to Second-Rank Expert?"
Everyone fell silent. The Li Family's prestige had been overshadowing these forces for centuries, and they could clearly hear the coldness in the Second Elder's words.
Who would dare to speak when the Second Elder is angry, unless it's someone from the Star Peak Family, whom no one dares to provoke?
The entire tent suddenly became oppressive again.
Suddenly, the representative of Goryeo said, "In that case, when the forces of all the factions gather, they will be divided into eight teams. When dealing with the ferocious beasts, each of the eight teams will handle a different area. Finally, the distribution of supplies will be based on the number of ferocious beasts killed in their respective areas."
The Second Elder murmured, "Although there are some issues with coordination, there's no other way. Alright, distribute the supplies according to the results. The more beasts you kill, the more pelts and other items you'll receive!"
Shi Dong thought to himself, "You old bastard, humph. No matter what tricks you play, the Shi Family will be ready!" Shi Dong immediately laughed loudly and said, "Second Elder's words make a lot of sense, I agree!"
After speaking, Shi Dong and the Second Elder exchanged a strange look, the meaning of which was perhaps only understood by the two of them.
Since both the Li Family and Shi Family had said so, and it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with it, everyone agreed, and the eight teams finally came together.
On this day, the air was crisp and clear, and the first cooperation between the eight major forces began! Their goal today was to eliminate that despicable pack of Azure Wolf Pack.
Twenty thousand people!
Twenty thousand Innate Master —what an incredible force! It could probably only be achieved through the cooperation of major powers. Of course, the Li Family and Zhang Xingfeng now possess such strength.
It might be difficult for a few thousand people to face tens of thousands of ferocious beasts, but when the number of people is several times that, the attack becomes much easier!
With a loud shout from one of the Li Family's experts, all the experts mobilized!
In an instant, 20,000 experts charged towards the pack of Azure Wolf Pack, their blades gleaming with a cold light. Each expert gritted their teeth, thinking, "Damn it, these blue wolves, today we've come for revenge!" They had suffered many losses at the hands of the Azure Wolf Pack recently, and today, with the help of their large force, they finally had their chance for vengeance.
Suddenly a wolf howl rang out, seemingly different from the usual wolf howls.
Twenty thousand experts were prepared to deal with the charge of the Azure Wolf Pack. They knew that the Azure Wolf Pack was extremely ferocious, always attacking with ruthless ferocity and disregarding life and death! But this time, the twenty thousand experts were dumbfounded, because with that wolf howl, the entire Azure Wolf Pack actually fled westward at an extremely fast speed!
This was outrageous! They had long wanted to kill the Azure Wolf and take revenge. Now that the opportunity had arrived, how could they let it escape? All the experts continued to rush forward, but the Azure Wolf was known for its speed, and they could only watch it get further and further away.
"Watch out! Strength Bear Pack has appeared in the south!" a master shouted. All the masters felt a chill run down their spines; the bears' enormous paws had already instilled fear in them!
"The Strength Bear Pack is here!" The voice trembled slightly.
"You are all experts, why are you afraid of these wild beasts? Alright, this bear is slow, but its paw swings are fast. First, shoot its throat with arrows, then attack its lower body with machetes, and retreat immediately after each strike. I don't believe we can't kill these guys!" a burly man roared, constantly waving his machete, his eyes flashing, clearly showing his high level of skill.
After his encouragement, everyone calmed down and gained confidence. "That's right, with so many of us, 20,000 Innate Master, what are we afraid of? It's just a wild beast, isn't it?"
One by one, they took out bows and arrows from behind their backs. It was obvious that each of them was using a military-grade powerful bow, which only a few people in the army could draw. Of course, these Innate Masters could all draw them!
"Hehe, let me show you guys the power of a bow and arrow!" A skilled archer at the front drew his bow to its fullest extent and aimed at the throat of a powerful bear in front of him!
With a "whoosh," the bowstring snapped, and the arrow pierced the throat of the bear. The bear took two steps and collapsed, powerless.
Seemingly encouraged, all the other experts began to shoot arrows. However, it seemed that the others did not have the accuracy of the guy before, and they all shot randomly. But the bear's hide was too thick, and the arrows could not penetrate the hide. They could only penetrate halfway, and only the weak places such as the throat could be penetrated by the arrows!
Even so, the arrows of 20,000 Innate Master were no joke; a single attack killed nearly a hundred powerful bears. Unfortunately, each bear was riddled with arrows, rendering their pelts useless!
The bears were enraged. They took large strides, roared, and brandished their huge paws as they charged towards the group!
"Draw your knives!" a master suddenly shouted. All the masters immediately drew their weapons, their Innate True Qi coating them to enhance their attack power. However, it was clear that most of the masters here were only at the Fifth Rank, just reaching the Innate Realm, making it difficult for them to unleash their Innate True Qi! The Innate True Qi on their weapons was simply too thin!
There are many Sixth Rank experts here. Most of these Sixth Rank experts come from places like the Liao Kingdom and Jin Kingdom where experts are relatively rare. After three groups of people died in the Imperial Yu Island Nation, would it still be possible for them to send out Innate Master? Of course, ordinary experts would come out. But even if the people of the Imperial Yu Island Nation went to the Primordial Era, they wouldn't be able to survive there with their level of skill!
One by one, the experts rushed forward, their feet moving with what appeared to be more advanced footwork to dodge Li Xiong's attacks, their machetes flashing incessantly! Their target was Li Xiong's lower body!
Twenty thousand experts—this is no exaggeration; the power is truly immense. In an instant, the screams of the Power Bears rang out as their legs were severed or injured!
Suddenly, a high-pitched howl rang out. A skilled fighter looked innocently at the powerful bear before him; clearly, when he attacked the legs, he had accidentally struck the area between the legs. This was obviously a male bear!
One by one, the experts seemed to have discovered that this attack was very effective. They disregarded their pride and focused their attacks on that area. The tragic screams were heartbreaking to hear!
It seemed that the bears behind also knew what had happened. One by one, the bears became enraged, their eyes red, wildly waving their paws, and even half-squatting! Yes, half-squatting!
Even crouching, this powerful bear is three meters tall! Moreover, the attack range of its paws is even greater; a single strike can reach anywhere in front of it! Clearly, experts can no longer easily attack its lower body!
Disaster struck the experts. Clearly, these powerful bears were seeking revenge for their companions, and they were all swinging their paws incessantly, smashing one expert to death after another!
However, the experts also seemed to have noticed that the bears were dying faster and faster, because there were more human experts than before. When a Black Bear killed an expert, another expert would put his sword into its throat!
Some experts can even use their footwork to dodge the bear's paws and then deliver a flying stab that pierces the bear's throat!
The powerful bear smashed the masters to death, and the masters killed the powerful bear!
They all seemed to have bloodshot eyes, relentlessly killing each other, until finally... the masters emerged victorious, and all the powerful bears were dead!
"Three thousand dead, one thousand seriously injured, and three thousand lightly injured! Almost all the experts are exhausted. This Li Xiong is really powerful!" Shi Dong murmured.
"Ah, the West, the West, everyone look, the West!" Suddenly a fearful voice rang out.
When Shi Dong and the others saw it, they were all stunned. What was that?!
Countless packs of Azure Wolf Pack are charging forward, seemingly endless, with no end in sight. Judging by sight, their numbers are definitely over 100,000! My God, so many blue wolves, and now so many experts have exhausted their Innate True Qi!
"The other 20,000 experts, come quickly and take all the brothers with you! Retreat!" Shi Dong shouted loudly.
Without him saying anything, the representatives of the various forces immediately sent people to bring their men down from the battlefield and begin to flee. Facing so many packs of Azure Wolf Pack, even if they were victorious, it was estimated that few of them would survive!
"There were only tens of thousands of blue wolves a moment ago, but now it seems like there are several times that number all at once. How can there be so many?" A master ran around in frustration.
"It seems the pack of Azure Wolf Pack was calling for their companions when they fled. My God, I wonder how many blue wolves there are in this Primordial Era!" the expert beside him said sadly.
How many more blue wolves are there? In this boundless Primordial Era, the number of blue wolves is absolutely terrifying. These hundreds of thousands are just a drop in the ocean. Although it is an exaggeration, it is not far off!
Suddenly!
"Ah, everyone look! There are people! There are people!" a skilled fighter suddenly shouted in alarm, pointing at the pack of Azure Wolf Pack to the west.
Everyone turned to look, and they were all dumbfounded. No matter who it was, they were all stunned. Shi Dong was dumbfounded, Yelu Hongfan was dumbfounded, the Second Elder was dumbfounded, everyone was dumbfounded...
At this moment, a group of wolves was running at an extremely fast speed through the Azure Wolf Pack. As long as all the Azure Wolf Pack in their path were killed, even countless blue wolves couldn't slow the group down even slightly! Yes, not even slow them down!
Completely crushing everything in its path!
In a mere instant, tens of thousands of blue wolves were wiped out. But this entire force... didn't lose a single person!
How is that possible?
This was the question in the minds of all the experts. The shock they felt at this moment was beyond words. It was too terrifying. Moreover, this team seemed to only have about a thousand people. Tens of thousands of them, the Innate Master, were being chased and forced to flee, but these thousand people easily dealt with the Azure Wolf Pack!
If they hadn't fought the Azure Wolf Pack, they might have thought Azure Wolf Pack were easily defeated. But they knew it wasn't that the Azure Wolf Pack was weak; it was that these people were simply too powerful! Powerful far beyond their comprehension!
But the combined power of these eight major forces is already absolutely formidable; even in the Eastern countries, they are a force that can do as they please! Now, a team far superior to them has appeared! This... this...
"Zhang Xingfeng!" The Second Elder suddenly exclaimed in shock as he looked at the silver-haired man flying on a sword above the group! Everyone stared in astonishment at the ethereal silver-haired man, unconsciously muttering, "Zhang Xingfeng!"
