Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 130 Two Clans
"God of Sky Island, what brings you here?"

Under the statue of the great warrior "Kalgora" carved from island clouds, the chieftain of the Shandian people, wearing a wolf-head decoration and somewhat tattered clothes, asked the "God" of the sky island opposite.

Behind him were the fully armed and alert Shandia warriors.

However, the number of these warriors is not too large, only less than 200, and there are even some women among them.

In comparison, the opposing Sky Island God Team has more than 300 members, and each of them is equipped with sophisticated standard weapons.

"Chief Shandia, I have not come here to reignite the war, but for the future of both tribes."

Gan Fowle, the "God" of Sky Island, dressed in a gorgeous white robe and flanked by several priests, spoke.

He was only in his thirties at the time, in the prime of his life.

"Do not make jokes!"

Without waiting for the equally young chief to speak again, a Shandia warrior with a missing wing stepped forward and started cursing.

"You Sky Island bastards took our home away from us, and now you're coming here talking about the future?!"

"You can have peace! All of you Sky Islanders, get out of here. Return Shandora to us, and then we can talk!"

After he finished speaking, the Shandia warriors behind him echoed him, beating their shields rhythmically to show their stance.

Of course, the people on the opposite Sky Island were not willing to be outdone. They directly raised the bows and arrows in their hands.

"'Arpaiado' was given to us by God. Why should we give it to you?"

A member of Team God responded without giving in, saying that this was also the consensus of all Sky Islanders.

In fact, these Sky Island people have always had the habit of picking up things that were washed up from Qinghai by the strong ocean currents on the beach.

Among them, "soil", something that has never existed on Sky Island, is regarded as the most precious treasure by all Sky Islanders.

They called it 'Bath' and established a belief in 'Bath'.

This continued every day until four hundred years ago.

When the people of Sky Island arrived at the beach as usual, they found that the strong current brought up not those bubbles the size of fists and backpacks, but an entire island.

Everyone was stunned, some even knelt down on the spot to thank this gift from heaven and called it 'Apaiado', which means 'the holy land given by God'.

Then, naturally, a war broke out between the Sky Islanders who wanted to obtain "Bass" and the Shandia people who wanted to defend their homeland.

In the end, the war between the two ethnic groups over land came to a temporary end with the Shandia people being driven out of their homeland, Shandora.

But as a certain 'Father of the Soviet Union' once said - "This is not the end, not even the beginning of the end, but the end of the beginning."

In the following hundreds of years, the Shandians fought a protracted battle with the Sky Islanders in order to regain their homeland.

The endless wars made both sides pay a heavy price. The population of the weaker side, the Shandia people, was reduced to less than one-tenth of what it was four hundred years ago, and they were on the brink of extinction.

……

Seeing their own men gradually losing control, Gan Fore and Chief Shandia both tapped their canes helplessly.

In fact, both of them were willing to achieve reconciliation between the two races, but the blood feud between the Sky Islanders and the Shandians for hundreds of years was no longer something that could be resolved by a few words from their two leaders.

Even though both of them hold important positions, they ultimately have to consider the opinions of the entire tribe, so they can only maintain a tacit understanding of trying not to start a war.

"Chief Shandia, I know that the conflict between our two tribes cannot be reconciled for the time being, but I am not here with any ill intentions today."

"Instead, I'm here to tell you about a great threat that both of our races may face."

Taking out a photo from his pocket, Gan For declined the companionship of the priests on both sides and walked alone to the Shandian side.

Amid the hostile and wary gazes of the Shandia warriors across from him, he handed the photo to the chief.

“Hmm? This, this is…!”

The chief, who had previously looked somewhat lifeless, widened his eyes in disbelief upon seeing the scene in the photo! "What's wrong, Chief?!"

When the warriors behind him saw the usually calm chief showing this expression, they thought that the people of Sky Island had done something, and raised their spears to move forward.

"lay down your weapon!"

"Chief?"

"lay down."

After calming down the crowd behind Chief Shandia, he gave a look to Gan Forle opposite him, and then the two of them avoided the crowd and walked to a slightly farther place.

“Is the thing in this photo real?”

"Absolutely true! The Amazon lady from 'Heaven's Gate' bought it herself, and then sent it to me at the fastest speed using 'Express Shrimp'."

The chief nodded.

"Then what is this? Is it a natural disaster or..."

Looking at the scene in the photo that was exactly the same as the one after a natural disaster, even someone as mature as him couldn't help but control his heartbeat.

"It's some kind of creature. Ms. 'Amazon' said she saw giant red wings!"

Gan Fowl pointed to the back of the photo, where it was written what the Amazon saw after her camera was struck by lightning.

"Giant red wings wrapped in golden thunder (This thing didn't pay the entry fee and also damaged the camera. Please demand ten times the payment and compensation)..."

Without paying attention to the long list of reasonable demands that followed, the chief suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

The patrol team we sent out to the White Sea hasn't returned yet, and there's still no news. The team that went looking for them also never came back...

Not daring to think any further, the chief said in a low voice:
"If this is true, and a monster like this really broke in here, then it would be a huge threat to both you and my tribe."

"Right, so I hope we can..."

Before Gan Forle could finish his words, he heard a noisy sound coming from not far away.

The two turned their heads and saw a sudden commotion from the Shandian side.

"It's Brahati and the others who are back!"

"What's going on? Why are all the others passed out?"

"Are you in any danger?"

"It must be those damn Sky Island people!"

"Hey! You Shandians, stop talking nonsense!"

Brahati, the captain of the guerrilla squad that patrolled the 'White Sea' at the beginning, finally returned to the village with several of his still unconscious team members.

Ignoring his companions' anxious and concerned greetings, he shouted directly:
"Chief, where is the chief?!"

"Yes, there are monsters coming up from Qinghai!"

"Everyone, get ready!"

"Chief!"

"I'm here."

The chief of Shandia and Gan Foul exchanged a glance, then together they pulled Brahati aside.

"Brahati, is this what you mean by 'monster'?"

Chief Shandia said as he handed the photo in his hand to the other party.
