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

Chapter 329 War in the Ancestral Land
The so-called bloodline secret technique of the Tu Lou clan is called the Resentment Covering Technique.

Back then, the Earthworm Clan was able to defeat the Daidi Human Clan thanks in large part to this bloodline secret technique.

When mortals kill earthworms, especially those earthworms with divine powers on their horns, the dead earthworms will turn into a wisp of 'resentment' that clings to the human race.

In subsequent battles, if the Earth Elf warriors activate this secret technique, it will trigger the 'resentment' of the Earth Elf tribe members who died in the previous battle, affecting the human race's actions.

Although this secret technique is not effective when it fails, it is completely useless against humans with strong blood and energy.

However, many human warriors are still affected. In life-or-death battles, even the slightest influence can determine the outcome.

Besides this bloodline secret technique, the Earthworm race's innate advantages against humans also include their powerful physique and the inherited witchcraft inherent in their four ram horns.

It can be said that within the same realm, one person is worth ten people.

Not to mention, all members of the Tulou tribe, regardless of age, strength, gender, or sex, can fight; the entire tribe is composed of warriors.

The resources that enabled them to suppress the human race and destroy various human tribes back then are now completely useless.

How could this not make the Earth Ancestor roar repeatedly?

"You've all lived like humans all these years!"

When the Tulou tribes were wiped out, the entire Tulou population numbered only a few million. After thousands of years of development, the Tulou population has exceeded sixty million.

Although it may seem like only a tenfold increase over several thousand years, the actual reproduction rate of the Earthworm race is far lower than that of the human race.

Looking across the vast wilderness, the human race's reproductive power ranks among the top of all races, just like wild grass in the wilderness, which can grow as long as it is given a piece of land.

Of course, after the Blazing Flame Alliance's northern expedition, the Earthworms no longer have such a large population.

The number of Tulou people who can still gather in the ancestral land is about 30 million, including 537 fourth-order Tulou.

Amidst the loess dust and sand, the massive body of the Earth Ancestor rose up, glaring at his descendants, and angrily roared, "What are you all standing there for? Get ready for battle!"

The earthworms, lying prostrate on the ground, all headed back to their respective tribes.

After learning that the human race was coming to kill them, they all led their tribes back to their ancestral lands.

It wasn't that they were too cowardly; it was simply that the attacking humans were too powerful.

They are completely different from the Dai people they suppressed thousands of years ago.

This kind of playing style is unheard of.

The weak human race, relying on powerful magical artifacts, overthrew one branch tribe after another, and the tribes could not even come up with an effective way to resist.

Before they even reach the human army's main camp, they will be met with a barrage of fireballs.

The bombardment and explosions were like a series of instantaneous supernatural powers combined with witchcraft.

This is utterly devoid of any moral principles.

It's important to know that the inherited witchcraft on the horns of these earthworms also requires some time to activate.

In this situation, no matter how strong the earthworm's physique is, it's useless if it can't get close to humans.

Once the rockets and fireballs that the humans had managed to launch were gone, the humans who had been attacked by them were also scattered by the explosions.

Human chariots rolled over them, and heavily armored warriors swung their swords, cleaving through their proud scales with a single strike.

He rebuked his more than 500 fourth-tier earth ants under his command, and the earth ant ancestor chanted incantations, causing sand and dust to surge and completely envelop the area where it was located.

This is a cave, thousands of feet deep.

At the bottom of the cave, there is a scene of earthy yellow and crystal clear soil, with fine, sandy soil flowing at the bottom of the cave.

The Earth Ancestor landed on the fine soil and began to devour it.

Since the source energy of the Juyue Mountains has decreased from the north and south, it has been able to maintain its vitality, thanks to this Huanglingyao soil.

……

Rumble!
Centered on the cave where the Earth Ancestor lived, pavilions and halls were built in all directions. Originally, these halls were the residences of the Earth Ancestor clan.

At this moment, the enraged earthworms roamed through the crowd, smashing the pavilions and halls to pieces. Most of the earthworm slaves who were serving in the halls were buried in the ruins, and even the few lucky ones could not escape the earthworms' slaughter.

After venting their anger on the ant slaves, the shattered ruins of the main hall were swept away by a gust of wind, and silk, linen, bronzeware, wine cups, bronze cauldrons and other items commonly used by humans were all swept out.

There were also some exquisite and beautiful 'brocades' embroidered with images of earthworms, which looked like clothes that the earthworms themselves had put on.

Now, the earthworms no longer need these things they used to enjoy.

Enraged, the earthworms crushed these things, which had been offered to them by the human slaves.

In the past, the Tulou tribe had servants to wait on them and provide them with food from the moment they were born, and they lived a very leisurely life.

In their eyes, slaves are just ants that can be easily crushed; they can be used, eaten, and played with.

“Weak ants, you dare to resist? Your weak bodies are meant to be food.”

In one ancestral land, thousands of earthworms crashed into a group of slaves, their massive bodies smashing the slaves to pieces.

Then, the raised ram horns, like curved blades, continuously slashed open the bodies of the earthworms, and as blood splattered, it was swallowed by the earthworms.

"We should have eaten you all up back then!"

"Eat these weaklings."

Soon, what happened in this region began to spread throughout the ancestral land.

As the ancestral home of the Tulou (土蝼), it was natural for Tulou slaves to exist there. Not to mention that when the various Tulou branches retreated to the ancestral home, they also brought with them varying numbers of Tulou slaves.

At this moment, the number of ant slaves gathered in the ancestral land of the earth ant has approached ten million.

These slaves were meant to serve the earthworms, and now, faced with the earthworms suddenly baring their fangs, most of them were caught off guard.

Of course, even those who did realize what was happening mostly just fled in panic, and the few who fought back couldn't make a dent. Their pitiful martial arts skills were no match for so many scumbags.

Faced with the attack of the human alliance led by Blazing Flame, the Earth Louse tribe could only vent their anger on the Louse Slaves.

“Kill these weak slaves, lest they betray us.”

The ancestral land was teeming with roaring earthworms, which were hunting and killing the slaves on a large scale.

……

After repelling four waves of earthworms, the alliance army, led by two giant mountain-moving turtles, finally arrived at the ancestral land of the earthworms.

No matter how the Tulou resisted, and no matter how the alliance successfully repelled their attacks time and time again, in order to suppress the Tulou and reclaim the Dai land, the Tulou's ancestral land had to be wiped out.

At this moment, the allied army, which had been resting on the giant tortoises for a long time, had formed hundreds of formations and more than ten million soldiers, and lined up behind the eleven giant tortoises.

Three thousand chariots were arrayed on the ground, each followed by seven hundred and twenty heavily armored warriors, wielding spears and carrying giant arrows.

Behind the chariots, there were groups of soldiers standing in formation, numbering over five million, stretching for dozens of miles.

To ensure the proper command of such a large army, a great many battle flags and drums were prepared.

Battle flags fluttered in these battle formations, each a different color and size.

From a three-foot-long centurion's flag to a ten-foot-long garrison flag.

Each 10,000-strong division has a clear flag, allowing everyone to accurately locate their own division's flag.

Now, these garrison troops from the Divine Treasury Realm are positioned in front of their respective units.

In addition to the main force of five million soldiers, there are also two troop formations on the flanks and the rear, each commanded by a different executive elder.

The total number of soldiers was no less than ten million.

This time, the goal was to wipe out the Tulou in one battle.

In mid-air, more than a hundred warships and airships lined up in a row facing the ancestral land of Tu Lou, all pointing their cannons forward.

These warships and airships carried anywhere from thirty to four or five cannons, totaling over a thousand.

On the smaller version of the nine-headed mountain-moving tortoise, giant arrow-shaped boxes were erected, also pointing towards the direction of the Earth Louse Ancestral Land.

Each small mountain-moving tortoise looks like it's carrying a giant beehive on its back.

On land, each flank of the battle formation was guarded by a million cavalrymen, and the billowing smoke turned into swirling earthen dragons.

In mid-air, on both sides of the warship were warriors piloting flying boats and flying birds.

The entire formation stretched for over three hundred miles.

Such a commotion naturally alerted the earthworms in the ancestral land long ago.

Looking into the distance, the ancestral land of the earthworms was filled with sand and dust, and roars rose and fell.

Upon noticing the arrival of the allied army, the Tulou also began to gather their forces.

Because the terrain is hilly, these earthworms move in waves as they go.

This scene looks more like a beast tide.

Unlike the beast tides, which are driven out by powerful beast kings and whose many beasts lack intelligence and are primarily driven by ferocity, the Earthworms possess intelligence.

"put!"

On the human side of the battle formation, Volcano was the commander-in-chief, and a battle flag was also flying behind him.

This battle flag, along with the battle flags of the five million elite soldiers behind it, is actually a set of combined magical artifacts.

After Yan Wanyun tested the battle flag in Yongyi Dongze, the shamans of the Zhiyan tribe reforged the broken battle flag used against Xiangliu.

Furthermore, taking into account the fact that the soldiers were too scattered during the use of the battle flag, and that it was sometimes difficult to gather their strength, the battle flag was forged into a complete set of combined magical artifacts.

The battle flag behind the volcano is the main banner of the entire army, and also the chief magical artifact of all the flags of the five million elite soldiers behind it.

Behind the volcano were the alliance's executive elders, including the Lord of Giant Sand, the Lord of Giant Wilderness, and the Lord of Xiashan.

At this moment, the elders stared intently at the battle flag.

With Yan Wanyun's example before them, their burning passion could no longer be suppressed.

Where else can you find such a good thing as being able to break through your cultivation level just by raising a battle flag once?

As for being severely injured by the backlash from the battle flag, that's a second issue.

Just tell me whether you've broken through the barrier or not.

The people present were all at the late stage of the Divine Realm, but the shortest time they had been stuck at that level was over a hundred years.

If we can gather our fighting spirit with the help of the battle flag, we can take another step forward and reach the peak of the Divine Treasury. We might even have a chance to touch the fifth rank.

Now that the path to the fifth rank has been opened, and there is light ahead, my heart feels like it's being scratched by a cat.

At this moment, these executive elders were all burning with excitement. The Alliance Leader personally took action this time because Tu Lou was the first alien race that Yongyi had encountered during its expansion.

Next time we expand outwards, we must seize the opportunity.

Lord Jusha's eyes darted around, and when he looked at the battle flag, his eyes met those of Lord Xiashan.

The two quickly averted their gazes, their hearts immediately filled with vigilance.

Then, the two of them glanced at each other again, as if by unspoken agreement.

With just one glance, the two immediately understood what the other was thinking.

"Damn it, they're trying to steal my next chance!"

……

Boom boom boom!
In mid-air, warships and airships unleashed their fireballs first, raining down like a torrent of flames that swept across the sky and crashed into the undulating hills of the Earth Ancestor Land.

shhhhhh!
On the nine-headed mountain-moving tortoise, the giant arrow witch box opened, and streaks of flame lit up. The giant arrow shot into the sky, trailing a long fiery tail, and turned into a meteor that went straight into the earth antagonist's land.

Roar!Roar!
As the fiery rain descended, countless earthworms in the ancestral land of the earthworms raised their heads, and the horns on their heads lit up.

Within the ancestral land of the Earthworm, streaks of magical light pierced the sky, forming a dazzling display of rosy clouds.

Boom boom boom!

The magic collided with the magic bullets and rockets, exploding into a sky full of fire. The energy from the explosion spread outwards, turning into giant waves that rippled through the loess hills.

Some of the weaker earthworms were instantly swept away by the giant wave of energy.

The first wave of witch bombs and rockets was blocked by the Earthworms, but before they could even catch their breath, the second wave had already illuminated the distant sky.

Immediately, another earthworm raised its head, triggering the shamanic magic on the ram's horn.

Boom boom boom!

Some of the rockets and cannons crashed to the ground, while others exploded in the sky above the Earthworm Ancestral Land, creating ripples that coalesced into an even more powerful storm of fire and water.

……

"Kill out!"

From the depths of the ancestral land of the Earth Louse, the roar of the Earth Louse Ancestor echoed. It strode in, carrying a cloud of yellow sand, as large as a mountain, each step causing the hills to tremble.

Upon hearing the ancestor's roar, many earthworms within the ancestral land roared in response. Some earthworms, still wearing clothes woven by humans, shattered their brocade garments, revealing ferocious expressions on their faces.

"Hoohoho!"

The roars were deafening, and the earthworms began to rush out of their ancestral land.

Like a torrent, the earthworms, with their heads bowed, charged towards the human battle formation along the battlefront that stretched for thousands of miles.

Looking into the distance, clusters of firelight rose up from the loess hills of the ancestral land of Tulou, covering an area of ​​hundreds or even thousands of miles.

And so, urged on by their ancestor, the earthworms charged desperately outwards, braving the firepower of the Blazing Flame Alliance.

Even though rockets exploded ahead, overturning many of their kind, the earth ants behind them became fierce and jumped over the pits to rush out with all their might.

These earthworms realized that if they didn't charge now, they might never have another chance; the humans were here to wipe them out.

Shoot the arrow!

When the earthworms finally broke through the yellowish-brown mountain ridge, the archers of the allied army had been waiting for a long time.

It's not that you can't make rocket-powered magic boxes, but the energy from a rocket explosion is too great, and every part of the earthworm is a treasure.

Using too many rockets will result in the loss of too many mole ants.

Sometimes, more advanced magical artifacts are indeed very useful, but that doesn't mean that the previous magical artifacts were ineffective.

For example, the giant crossbow.

Between the eleven mountain-moving turtles, one giant crossbow formation after another was being prepared.

The new giant crossbow was improved once again, with five people forming a team: two to shoot the arrows and three to load them.

This loading doesn't mean loading one arrow at a time; rather, it uses a specially made crossbow box, which is more than a person's height and can hold ten giant arrows.

When reloading, simply drag the arrow box out from under the giant crossbow and insert the new arrow box.

The reason why four people are needed to load the arrows is twofold: firstly, it requires great strength to drag the arrow box out, and secondly, the improved giant crossbow has a very fast firing rate, so if there are too few people, the arrows cannot be supplied.

"Fire arrows!"

As soon as the volcano issued the order to fire arrows, the messenger's voice echoed across the battlefield.

Boom!

The clanging of the giant crossbows merged into thunder, and a rain of arrows, like dark clouds pressing down, flew towards the earthworms.

Boom!

After the first volley of arrows, came the second, the third... the tenth... then we changed arrow boxes...

By the time the first crate of giant arrows was empty, the Alliance crossbowmen had already fired seven million giant arrows.

In an area stretching for thousands of miles east to west and more than ten miles north to south outside the ancestral land of Tulou, hundreds of arrow forests have formed.

Some of the arrow stalks are still moving, and countless earthworms have turned into hedgehogs.

Some of the earthworms were fast enough to escape the range of the arrow rain, but the earthworms further back were also separated by the arrow rain.

……

"Chariot!"

As the volcano waved its command flag, the chariot rolled out, and the heavily armored Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros roared as it charged out, its armor's runes glowing and merging with the chariot.

The three hundred leading chariots even unleashed the divine form of a colossal beast, hundreds of feet in size.

The earthworms that charged out collided head-on with the chariot. Relying on their superior physique, the earthworms encountered a chariot made entirely of iron.

The first three hundred chariots transformed into three hundred torrents on the battlefield, instantly knocking over the charging ants and sending blood and bones flying.

Two thousand seven hundred chariots followed closely behind, smashing through the earthworms and leaving trails of blood.

Heavy armored warriors followed behind, wielding heavy swords, each one a top-grade third-tier magical weapon, incredibly effective at chopping meat.

puff puff!

The heavily armored warrior slashed down at the oncoming earthworms, sending shattered skulls and bits of flesh flying high into the air.

Boom boom boom!
The battlefield was too vast, and the earthworms that charged out from the front were already engaged in battle.

The earthworms behind were still enduring a hail of bullets, with explosions constantly erupting within their ancestral land.

Roar!
This scene enraged the Earth Ancestor within the ancestral land, who roared in fury. In just a few thousand years, the human race had changed so much.

For some reason, despite roaring repeatedly, the Earth Ancestor did not step out of the ancestral land and remained within it.
