After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

Chapter 235 Earthworms are facing a beast tide! A beast tide!
Inside Tianpo Mountain.

More than 120 mole crickets roamed freely in the mountains and forests.

This creature, resembling a goat with four horns on its head, has blood-red eyes that radiate a fierce light, showing none of the gentleness of a goat.

The horns of the leader of the earthworms were a little different; while the others had gray-black horns, one of its horns had three blue stripes.

These earthworms with unusual ram horns belong to the ancestral bloodline of the earthworm tribe and possess supernatural abilities similar to witchcraft.

This blue-striped earthworm was not large, only about ten feet in size, but it was lying on an open sedan chair, carried forward by thirty-two humans.

These thirty-odd humans were burly and strong, with bulging veins on their arms and sweat dripping from their bronze-colored bodies, clearly indicating that carrying this sedan chair was no easy task.

Inside the jungle, Tian Dan watched the direction the earthworms were heading, their goal very clear: they were heading towards the great rift in Tianpo Mountain.

The route we took only involved winding around a few steep hills.

They had already searched for the large cracks in the mountains on their way here, but found nothing else.

"Roar!"

Thinking of this, Tian Dan roared to the sky, and the roar of a beast echoed throughout the entire mountain forest.

Roar!Roar!Roar!
Then, roars echoed from all around the mountains and forests, spreading in all directions and attracting even more roars.

In order not to disturb the ant slaves and earth ants walking in the mountains and forests of Daidi, the tribesmen learned some simple beast roars based on the habits of wild beasts before they came.

The roars may sound the same, but they actually serve different purposes.

Tian Dan roared repeatedly, signaling to his people in all directions to gather in his direction and to drive the wild beasts over.

As he roared, Tian Dan smashed through the jungle and strode toward the earthworm.

……

The earthworms, who hadn't yet entered the great rift, were startled by the roars. Realizing the beastly roars were incessant, they immediately reacted.

"When did so many wild beasts appear in the mountains?!"

The earthworm on the sedan chair opened its eyes and looked around.

Surrounded by mountains and forests, the vegetation swayed violently, and the roars of beasts could be heard from near and far, rising and falling in waves.

"Oh no, there are too many wild beasts, and they're charging towards us."

The lead earthworm jumped to a high place and looked around. Besides seeing a few old trees falling, it also saw several torrents crashing against the jungle.

This is the prelude to the formation of the beast tide.

hoo hoo hoo!
Among the nearby mountains, figures could be seen leaping and climbing, moving through the mountains as if they were on flat ground.

During their journey, they also drove away other small wild beasts, forming seven or eight small groups of wild beasts that came down together.

The Potian Mountain Range spans tens of thousands of miles and is home to countless wild beasts, large and small, though none of them are particularly powerful.

However, if a leader emerges and gathers all these small wild beasts together, forming a surging tide of beasts, it will definitely destroy mountains and destroy tribes.

"Lord Yaoyun, let's retreat from Potian Mountain before the beast tide forms."

The blue-striped earthworm on the sedan chair glanced at you and said, "A mere little beast tide, look how scared you are."

"waste!"

Just as the other earthworms lowered their heads, waiting for a reprimand, the voice of the Azure-Patterned Earthworm Yaoyun rang in their ears again.

"withdraw!"

Immediately, the thirty-odd slaves carrying the sedan chair quickly turned around and headed back the way they came.

However, being located in the mountains and forests, even a sedan chair would still be bumpy under such conditions.

Yao Yun, sitting in the sedan chair, focused her gaze on one of the people. The green horn on her head lit up, and a streak of green light flashed and landed on the person's back.

The man grunted, gripping the sedan chair poles tightly with both hands. His face turned a deep purplish-red, but he still gritted his teeth and kept the sedan chair steady.

Seeing this, Yaoyun withdrew her gaze.

These bastards are just despicable; the more you beat them, the more obedient they become.

Seeing that Tu Lou had turned and left, Tian Dan was a little unhappy.

Since we're already here, what's the point of turning around and leaving? This desolate wilderness is perfect for killing ants and robbing.

Roar!
Immediately, Tian Dan roared and leaped out of the forest with his 46-foot-tall body. His thick ape arms smashed the old trees and boulders blocking his way, and he strode toward Tu Lou.

"Wild Ape!"

"When did Potian Mountain get such a powerful wild beast?!"

As soon as Tian Dan appeared, the earthworms saw it.

Previously, those climbing on the distant rock face could only be seen as blurry silhouettes. Now, with such a massive wild ape charging straight down from the high forest, if you still can't see it clearly, you'd truly be blind.

"Protect your lord!"

"go!"

The leader of the earthworms roared, and at his command, more than a dozen earthworms charged toward Tian Dan.

The earthworm is slightly larger than the owl, but only to a limited extent, generally reaching two to three zhang in size after reaching adulthood.

In truth, the earthworm is not much different from a wild beast.

The reason they were able to stand out from the wild beasts is that they not only formed a race, but also had their own civilization.

The most common tactic of the earthworm is to use its four horns to charge at the ground.

Boom!

Seeing the earthworm, much smaller than himself, charging towards him, Tian Dan raised his hand and grabbed the back of the fastest-charging one.

With a "plop," the earthworm let out a mournful cry as its entire back was pierced by the ape's claws and used as a weapon to be flung onto the other earthworms.

Click!Click!
The earthworms collided with each other, and the sounds of bones cracking and wailing filled the air.

He narrowly escaped being hit by the earthworms thrown by his own kind, but was then grabbed by Tian Dan who rushed up to him. Tian Dan opened his fanged mouth and tore open his neck with a tearing sound.

Then, it hurled the mud ants that were trying to run away.

"Stop it!"

Yao Yun spoke, and beams of blue light shone from his blue horn, striking the ant-like servants carrying the sedan chair.

"Useless trash, hurry up, or you'll all be food for the wild beasts!"

"Lord Yaoyun, the beast tide is coming! Hurry, don't ride in the sedan chair!"

The leader of the earthworms roared.

The Tulou (a type of insect) used to have no habit of riding in sedan chairs, but after they began to raise the Daidi (another type of insect) people...

The slaves presented many things, including clothing, food, shelter, and transportation, all of which were incredibly novel. The sedan chair was one of them.

They said that the high and mighty Tulou tribesmen should not be tainted by the dust-filled earth and suffer the hardships of traveling.

Gradually, the earthworms got used to traveling by carriage or sedan chair.

Even the title 'Sir' was a respectful one given by the slaves, and over time, the slaves themselves accepted it as such.

After all, calling them "big ants" sounds a bit unpleasant; they enslave humans, and aren't they the very adults of humanity?

Boom!

As the leader of the earthworms roared, the sedan chair bearer who had been the first to be punished by Yaoyun with the blue light suddenly slipped.

One of his arms, which was originally gripping the carrying pole tightly, landed on the person carrying the sedan chair alongside him.

The two men fell forward at once, which also dragged down the sedan chair bearers in front of them.

The sedan chair tilted suddenly at that moment. Yao Yun did not expect the sedan chair to fall over and was thrown out.

"Hahaha!"

After falling to the ground, the figure who had just slipped looked at the wild beasts surging in from all directions. Instead of the fear shown by the other slaves and sedan chair carriers, he burst into hearty laughter.

He let the charging beasts trample him under their feet, blood gushing from his mouth, his eyes wide open, revealing a wanton smile.

A pungent, fishy smell filled the air. Driven by a dozen or so wild apes, although the beast tide was not yet large, there were still five or six hundred wild beasts that had gathered. They were quickly submerged by the group of earthworms.

Tian Dan forcefully swatted away the earthworm blocking his way and headed towards the earthworm with the green horn pattern.

The leader of the earth ants roared repeatedly, constantly knocking away the attacking wild beasts, but the distance between it and Yaoyun was getting farther and farther.

The other earthworms varied in strength. Surrounded by wild beasts, and with members of the Blazing Flame Clan mixed in, they were constantly blasted apart and sent flying.

"Protect the big..."

Although it was swept away by the wild beasts, the leader of the earth ants still seized the opportunity to jump up and try to rush towards Yaoyun.

But as soon as he jumped up, he was hit by the boulder that Tian Dan had grabbed, and he was sent flying.

Under the onslaught of the wild beasts, the hundreds of earthworms were quickly defeated one by one by the Blazing Flame Clan, leaving five survivors. Some of the dead earthworms were given to the wild beasts to eat, and the remaining corpses were collected into the witch's bag.

……

Yao Yun curled up, feeling completely drained, as if the green horn symbolizing her bloodline and honor had been plucked out.

"Speak, what brings you to Potian Mountain?"

Tian Dan spoke, and Yao Yun, disregarding the pain of having his horns pulled out, stared at Tian Dan in astonishment.

"Are you a highly intelligent wild ape with ancient blood?" "If you have intelligence, how dare you attack me!"

"Do you know..."

Yaoyun roared, "If I had known this old ape was so intelligent, I should have spoken up and discussed it earlier."

In the Dai region, the most formidable enemy of the Tulou (土蝣) is the wild beast.

Because ordinary wild beasts are not very intelligent and only have instincts such as hunting and reproduction, they can only be kept in line by killing them or suppressing them with wild beasts of higher bloodlines.

This is also why we can only run away when faced with a beast tide. These wild beasts only have the instinct to kill, and they don't care that he is Lord Yaoyun of the Dongze Tulou branch.

Even if its clan leader, Dongze Shengbo, were to arrive, the mindless wild beasts would still charge forward recklessly.

The creature that's now instigating the beast tide can even speak after capturing it, which Yaoyun can't stand.

You have intelligence and can speak, so don't you know about the Earthworm Holy Clan?!

In this land, the Holy Race is like the heavens, and all the wild beasts... any wild beast with intelligence must avoid them.

Snapped!
In response to Yaoyun, Tian Dan slapped her.

Yaoyun screamed and flew out, crashing into the rock wall.

Tian Dan had seen this disease before and was quite skilled at treating it.

Previously, the treatment focused on treating male yang deficiency, but the underlying principles are the same: the medical technique is extremely simple...

Snapped!Snapped!
puff!puff!
Screams echoed from inside the cave. After several slaps, the remaining three ordinary ram horns were plucked out, instantly curing the disease.

Yao Yun honestly confessed his purpose for coming to Potian Mountain.

It turns out that the search for the remains of Potian Mountain has never been abandoned by the Dongze Tulou branch in the nearby Dongze River basin.

Over the years, people had already found some clues in the mountains, such as the barrier.

This time, Yaoyun went to the barrier of Potian Mountain.

"Still lying."

"If there is a hidden world here, and there was such a commotion, why didn't anyone come out to save you? You were just lying to me, weren't you?"

"How would I know? We never expected a beast tide. If we had known, I would have sent a contingent of soldiers long ago."

"The tokens to enter the cave are all in your hands. Why don't you try it and see?"

Are there any fourth-tier guardians inside?

"no!"

Yao Yun shook her head, "They're all lowly slaves doing the work. Would I lie to you when I'm like this?"

After Yaoyun finished speaking, Tian Dan raised his hand, picked her up, and shook her twice like a rag.

Each blow slammed Yaoyun solidly against the rock face, shaking the small hill.

"You beast, aren't you afraid of me, Dongze Saint... Saint... Pfft..."

Before she could finish saying the word "saint," Yao Yun's throat was choked by the surging blood inside her, causing her to convulse.

"Everything I said is true. Weren't you attracted here by the spiritual energy emanating from the cave?"

"I think you want to advance to the fourth-tier lord beast level and are looking for a suitable place to do so."

Yao Yun helped Tian Dan correct the reason why he appeared in the mountains.

There are hidden caves in the mountains, and spiritual energy within those caves. It makes perfect sense for a peak third-tier wild beast to seek out this spiritual energy to advance to the fourth tier.

Such a good reason suddenly ignited Tian Dan's anger, even though he was in a relatively good mood.

Damn it, he has almost no chance of advancing to the fourth rank in his lifetime. More than ten years ago, he had more than a dozen children and started raising the next generation.

Yao Yun's reasoning was good, but unfortunately it made him very unhappy.

"Advance to the fourth rank?"

"You're so smart! You're the only one who knows that!"

As Tian Dan spoke, he crushed Yao Yun's hoof.

"Ow!"

Yaoyun screamed in agony.

He cursed the old ape in his heart.

This damn thing, this beast that popped out of nowhere, is it out of its mind?

a long time.

“Wizard Ayun, look, this earthworm even has a name that sounds a bit like yours.”

As Tian Dan spoke, a female sorceress wearing a woven straw hat emerged from the depths of the mountains.

"You lowly slave!"

Yao Yun, who was lying on the ground, stared wide-eyed when she saw Sang Yun come out.

"You have a foul mouth!"

Sang Yun snorted coldly and raised his hand to press against the bloody hole where Yao Yun had torn off the ram's horn.

"Ow!"

Yao Yun, who had been lying sprawled on the ground, suddenly tensed up all over.

“Commander Tian, ​​there are no Tu Lou in the tribe, and this guy has good bloodline. We can take him back as a test subject.”

"hey-hey."

Tian Dan smiled and said, "We were prepared long ago, otherwise why would we have left a few survivors?"

"Aren't you going to ask about the grotto-heaven anymore?"

Sang Yun felt that the earthworm wasn't telling the truth; if there really was a problem inside the cave, it would be dangerous to go in.

"I won't ask anymore. I'll send a message to the old clan chief and let him make the decision."

Seeing this, Sang Yun said no more, took out a small bottle, uncorked it, and poured it onto the bloody hole on Yao Yun's head.

"What are you going to do?"

"Let me treat your injuries. Don't be afraid, you'll understand once you're fully awake."

Yao Yun was about to speak when she felt a tingling sensation all over her body, and drowsiness quickly overwhelmed her.

"Wizard Ayun, please wait a moment. I need to take a look around the cave before escorting you and the earthworm away."

Tian Dan quickly arrived at the location indicated by Yao Yun, which was right outside the barrier and inside the rift valley.

The tribesmen had already searched the area but found nothing; the spiritual barrier was very well hidden.

After careful inspection, Tian Dan discovered that the cave was isolated from the outside world, which was why no one came out to rescue Yao Yun—because they simply didn't notice.

Seeing this, Tian Dan was relieved.

He arranged for his people to continue gathering wild beasts and breeding a beast tide. Under the cover of night, he secretly escorted Sang Yun and several earthworms toward Star Mountain.

……

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

After receiving news of Tian Dan at Huotang, they immediately made favorable arrangements.

A spiritual land that can be used by third-tier wild beasts to assist in advancing to the fourth tier is enough to demonstrate how dense the spiritual energy within the barrier is.

In this situation, whether Yao Yun, a mere earthworm, tells the truth or not, and whether there are fourth-tier earthworms guarding the area, is irrelevant.

Even if there's only one loach inside the barrier, Blazing Flame will do everything in its power to take it down.

Outside the rift valley, at the entrance to the barrier.

The four Divine Realm beasts, led by the old Xuan Turtle, concealed their auras.

In addition, there were two quasi-divine realm warriors, plus two hundred 'wild beasts' with the combat power of the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein Realm.

All the clansmen and their guardian beasts mingled among the more than 20,000 wild beasts, surrounding the entrance.

"Roar!"

"Hoohoho!"

"You mean there's a fourth tier inside?"

Tian Dan leaned closer to Huo Ning and asked.

Huo Ning was the last of the three quasi-god-level warriors in the Blazing Flame Tribe.

Shi Jun is currently sealing off the inside and outside of Xingchen Mountain, hunting monsters. Huo Ning, having nothing else to do, also came to Daidi this time.

"It would be best to have it."

Huo Ning transformed into a winged bear and scratched his head.

"It would be even better if there were two ends."
