Chapter 544: Conflict
Han Li observed the unfolding battle with a contemplative look in his eyes.
Each side only had several dozen people, but they were displaying some rather interesting modes of attack.
Among the humanoid creatures, some of them were holding short flutes crafted from some type of unknown material, some were holding small drums crafted from beast bones and beast hide, while others were holding copper bells, and they were playing these instruments to release bursts of soundwaves.
Under the influence of these soundwaves, hundreds of demon beasts of different descriptions were rushing toward the opposing toad-like creatures like puppets on strings.
As for the toad-like creatures, they were exposing their bellies, and it sounded as if there were someone pounding their bellies from inside their bodies, producing a peculiar sound that sent various types of spirit insects flying through the air or rushing out of the ground to swarm toward the opposing humanoid creatures.
Among these spirit insects were golden praying mantises the size of cows and horses, as well as some that were as tiny as bees. Individually, none of them were all that formidable, but under the influence of the toad-like creatures, their auras were combined as one, allowing them to match up against their opponents on equal terms.
Among the demon beasts, some had thick exoskeletons, some possessed enormous bodies, some were able to blast forth flames and lightning, and some were extremely fast, but they were unable to keep the spirit insects at bay and were constantly being forced back further and further into retreat.
The humanoid creatures could see that the situation was unfolding against their favor, and one of them, a man with the longest neck, wearing a necklace crafted out of beast bones, let loose a loud roar.
All of the sounds that were controlling the demon beasts and the spirit insects instantly subsided, and as a result, a temporary truce ensued.
The man then opened his mouth to say something that was completely unintelligible to Han Li.
"Can you understand what they're saying?" Han Li asked through his spiritual connection between himself and the jade Pixiu. New novel chapters are published on
"He's speaking in the universal language used by the primordial tribes, and he's talking to a person called Tureev, asking him why they were so insistent on hunting down their Longneck Tribe, even though they had already abandon the forest that they had been residing in for generations to flee all the way here," the Pixiu translated.
Han Li's brows furrowed slightly as he cast his gaze toward the toad-like beings.
One of the toad-like creatures that was wearing a layer of azure leather armor around its waist stepped forward, then said something in response in a loud and resonant voice.
"He says, don't be naive, Taj. Our Gray Toad Tribe and your Longneck Tribe have always been sworn enemies. Now that your Longneck Tribe has fallen from grace, of course we have to hunt you down and eradicate all of you," Xiao Bai translated without even being prompted by Han Li.
"How dare you! Are you trying to instigate a war between our Beast Race and your Insect Race? Are you not afraid of repeating the same horrific tragedy from millions of years ago? If you spark a war between our two races, our Beast Race will be sure to wipe out all of you once and for all!" Taj replied in a furious voice.
"I know that you've led us here as a distraction to try and divert us away, while your father led the majority of your tribesmen to the Peacock Spirit Tribe over at the Peacock River, but I can tell you now that your efforts are completely futile. Even the Tower Elephant Tribe and the Dark Hog Tribe have already been conquered by our Insect Race, let alone the Peacock Spirit Tribe," Tureev chortled as he slapped his own belly with his large hands.
Taj's expression instantly changed drastically upon hearing this. "What did you say? That's impossible!"
"What compensation do you want from me?" Han Li asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"Leave that little girl behind and I'll let you go," Tureev declared as he pointed a finger at Jin Tong.
Han Li couldn't help but heave a forlorn internal sigh upon hearing this. He knew that a peaceful resolution was out of the question now.
Sure enough, before he had a chance to say anything, Jin Tong had already stepped forward with an enraged expression as she began rolling up her sleeves.
"You want me to stay, do you?" she asked in a cold voice as her aura began to swell rapidly.
Tureev was very alarmed to sense her rapidly elevating aura, and all of the black beetles around Jin Tong instantly began to rush back in retreat out of an instinctive sense of fear.
Tureev took a few steps backward before hurriedly urging all of his tribesmen to spring into action, and the other Gray Toad beings immediately began to produce the same croaking sound from before with their bloated bellies.
A small portion of the spirit insects that they had summoned were still surrounding the Longneck beings, but the rest were all swarming toward Jin Tong.
"Go and help her," Han Lin instructed with slightly furrowed brows.
Xiao Bai immediately did as it was told, swelling drastically in size as it let loose a loud roar before pouncing at the swarm of spirit insects.
The dense swarm of black beetles inundated Xiao Bai in an instant, but a layer of bright white light had emerged over its body to keep all of the black beetles at bay.
At the same time, it opened its mouth to release a burst of tremendous suction force, which sucked in all of the surrounding black beetles in a frenzy.
Meanwhile, Taj and the other Longneck beings were discussing how to proceed, yet all of them had fallen silent and were staring at Xiao Bai with stunned looks on their faces.
At the same time, Jin Tong had transformed into a giant golden beetle that was slashing its front legs through the air in rapid succession, releasing streaks of translucent golden light that swept forth in all directions, shredding all of the spirit insects in their path.
Tureev was horrified to see this.
In the blink of an eye, his army of spirit insects was on the verge of complete eradication!
In contrast, Taj was ecstatic to see this, and he hurriedly began yelling something in the primordial language.
The Longneck beings were instantly reinvigorated, and they began playing their instruments again, spurring on their demon beasts to attack the surrounding swarm of spirit insects.
The previously orderly ranks of the Gray Toad beings were instantly thrown into complete disarray by Jin Tong and Xiao Bai, and Tureev was frantically instructing his spirit insects to unleash a final wave of attacks while simultaneously instructing his own tribesmen to retreat.
