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

Chapter 330 Killing a Fifth-Order Rank, Devouring the Land, and Retrieving the Mysterious Bird Divine Statue!
Roar!
Roars rose and fell, and at the junction of the loess and wasteland outside the ancestral land of the earthworms, the bones of the earthworms were scattered, turning into an insurmountable chasm.

The earthworms that rushed out of their ancestral land could hardly break through the overwhelming rain of arrows. These giant arrows were forged from refined iron and covered with golden witch runes, making them even more blazing and capable of easily piercing through dozens of third-tier earthworms.

First and second-tier earthworms would only serve as insignificant decorations on the giant arrow strings.

"Ancestor, save me!"

Some ants cried out for help, saying that this was not a war, but a death sentence.

They fought their way out, but before they even saw the human race, they were hit by rockets and fireballs. After finally breaking through, they were met with a rain of giant arrows.

Thankfully, they emerged from the rain of giant arrows and finally saw the human race arrayed in formation, only to be met head-on by rows of war chariots.

It's true that the Tulou tribe is stubborn, but it depends on what they collide with.

They managed to dodge the earthworms being crushed by the chariots, but finally encountered the human heavy armored soldiers, and the two sides began a fierce battle.

The human warriors were arranged in a square formation of 720 men each, with heavy swords that were 10 feet long, and the front and rear ranks were 10 feet apart.

After the first row of soldiers swung their swords, they marched directly over the shattered corpses, charging forward regardless of whether their strikes killed the earthworms.

Next, the second row of armored soldiers stepped up and swung their swords down again.

Even if earthworms leap up when the formation is complete, they will fall in front of a certain row of the formation.

As for the earthworm using its own blood energy, or even the witchcraft on the ram's horn, it achieved very few victories. Faced with the earthworm's attack, the sword energy unleashed by a row of heavily armored soldiers could easily tear apart the earthworm's attack.

The heavy armor was specially branded with multiple layers of witchcraft, and a skeleton was also constructed inside the armor to fit the body of each soldier.

Heavy armored soldiers who fall after being hit will lie still on the ground, allowing subsequent soldiers to step over them.

If there's a gap in front, the heavily armored soldiers in the rear will move forward to fill it.

In this way, once the entire heavy armored force has passed, any fallen heavy armored soldiers who are still able to stand will immediately get up and catch up with the formation, replenishing the rear ranks.

Because the armor is blessed with shamanic inscriptions and supported by internal hooked bone, most of the time even if they fall to the ground and are trampled by their comrades, they will not be affected.

In comparison, their movements were somewhat stiff.

However, heavy armored soldiers do not fight based on speed; sacrificing some speed to increase the soldiers' defense is perfectly acceptable.

Under such powerful protection, the survivability of heavy armored soldiers is greatly enhanced. Unless they are hit head-on by a high-speed earthworm, or directly subjected to the earthworm's blood energy or witchcraft attack, heavy armored soldiers who are knocked down by the energy ripples can continue to fight.

As for the speed lost by the heavily armored soldiers, it was supplemented by cavalry and skirmishers. These men varied in number and patrolled around the heavily armored soldiers. They carried a variety of weapons, including javelins, gilded hammers, bows and arrows, and hand-operated magic bullets.

The main objective was to strike swarms of earthworms and prevent them from clustering together and disrupting the heavily armored soldiers' advance.

The battle lines stretched for thousands of miles, filled with deafening roars and battle cries, and the air thick with the bloodlust of battle.

Some earthworms were terrified, but others were also aroused to be ferocious, after all, although they are an intelligent species, they have not yet escaped the category of beasts.

Along the thousand-mile front, a group of mud ants, blindly charging forward, finally broke through the heavy armor soldiers' attacks. Looking up, they saw a dark city wall gleaming with a metallic sheen in the sunlight.

"When did the humans build this city?!"

"Charge! Smash this city wall!"

“Weak humans will resort to despicable means.”

The roars of the earthworms filled the air. They had all rushed here, and with the ancestor watching from behind, they had no choice but to charge head-on and completely crush the human race.

The Great Wall built by the alliance was not high, only a little over three zhang (approximately 10 meters), and you could clearly see that there were interlocking patterns at intervals.

When it comes to war, it's normal to carry a section of the Great Wall with you, right?

No, it brought two seats.

The second wall will be built depending on the situation. If the mobs still have the strength to attack, another wall will be built behind the first one.

On the city wall, the giant crossbows had already been laid flat.

The giant arrow shot out swiftly, meeting the oncoming earthworms head-on.

"Roar!"

A fourth-tier earthworm's body swirled with blood energy, deflecting the giant arrow. Then, it leaped up, its ram horns glowing and converging into a yellowish-brown ball of light.

Just as the ball of light appeared, a beam of fire shot out from the direction of the human race. The one who made the move was a fourth-tier town soldier. The giant crossbow in his hand was ten feet in size, and the golden arrow was as thick as an infant's arm.

With a single arrow, the fourth-tier earth ant's magic was instantly shattered.

Then, a second arrow was fired.

When we encountered the Earthworms on the road, we were scolded because we had too many divine treasures on our side and too few on the Earthworms' side. We were a bit too rough when we tried to steal them.

Anyone who destroys the remains of the sacred earthworm in a fight for it will be severely punished on the spot, and a portion of their merits will be confiscated.

Merit points are now very valuable in the alliance. They can be exchanged for cultivation medicines, cave dwellings, witch weapons, and even cultivation techniques and witch formations. As long as you have enough merit points, you can also apply for a high-level martial artist to protect you when you break through to a higher realm.

Confiscating meritorious service is like cutting into the flesh of everyone.

This principle was applied equally by both the Blazing Flame Sect and all its departments.

……

"Why is the fifth-tier earthworm lingering in the same spot and not coming out? Could it be that something is trapping it?"

The war has raged on to this point, yet the Earth Ancestor still hasn't emerged.

It's understandable that people might think the Earth Ancestor has some hidden tricks up his sleeve. Besides, the purpose of fighting the Earth Ancestor is also to destroy another place where the Black Bird is worshipped.

The volcano observed the Earth Ancestor, behind whom five million elite soldiers remained unused, all to guard against the fifth-tier Earth Ancestor.

However, the fifth-tier Earth Ancestor seemed to have some reservations and did not step outside the loess hills. Its huge body moved in the loess like a small mountain, and its four ram horns were as thick as pillars, shimmering with a dazzling earthy yellow light.

"Could this earthworm be the same as the fifth-tier of the Holy Envoy Clan?"

At that moment, the volcano realized the reason.

When the Holy Envoy Clan attacked back then, it certainly felt like dark clouds were looming over the city. But if it were now, he would beat them to a pulp if the Holy Envoy Clan attacked back then.

Logically speaking, the Holy Envoy Clan is a race of humans who betrayed their ancestors and bloodline to pray for the opportunity bestowed by the Holy Spirit, so they are not normal fifth-tier beings.

However, the Earth-Loo alien race has an innate affinity for earth, making them much better at martial arts cultivation than humans, and they can advance to the fifth rank much more easily than humans.

It's a bit foolish of a creature like Tulou to have such great talent and still grovel under Xuanniao's command, begging for food.

"Push forward!"

At this moment, Huotang transmitted a message to the volcano.

The battle situation is already clear. The Tulou soldiers have lost more than half of their strength along the thousand-mile front. Compared to the losses of the Tulou, the human side's casualties are almost negligible, and the main losses are resources.

"attack!"

The large banner beside the bonfire tilted forward.

The war drums sounded, rising and falling in waves, echoing across the entire front line for miles.

After the intense sound of war drums began, it did not stop, but instead formed a rhythmic beat.

As the drumbeats sounded, the advancing soldiers began to march in unison, and the Great Wall stretched out like a long metal dragon, its body moving laterally towards the ancestral land of Tulou.

As the Great Wall shifted, the soldiers on its walls controlling the giant crossbows were not idle; they continued to fire giant arrows at the charging earthworms.

The earthworms, who only knew how to charge forward with their heads down, could not disrupt the rhythm of the alliance army no matter how angry they roared.

Some of the hordes of earthworms, which were closer to the flanks of the battle line, bypassed the main battle line and tried to charge into the allied army from the side, but they were all blocked by the cavalry guarding the flanks.

In mid-air, flying boats guarded the flanks, dropping witch bombs from high above.

Some of the earthworms, unable to bear the desolation, fled in panic towards the depths of the wilderness.

There's absolutely no way to fight this war!

It is not that our Earthworm race has weak scales, sharp fangs, or blunt horns; it is simply that the methods of the human race are unprecedented.

Garlic bird, garlic bird, run!

Only a minority of the ants ran away; the vast majority were on the front lines, unable to escape even if they wanted to.

As the army advanced, the Earth Ancestor in the ancestral land began to panic. And it wasn't feigned panic; he was genuinely panicked.

But once it panicked, its innate bestial instincts made it roar even more furiously.

The reason it didn't make a move was that it sensed a powerful being among the human race watching it.

But it didn't discover where the person watching it was.

This made the Earth Ancestor a little unsure. What if he made a rash move and was ambushed?
……

The Old Ancestor of the Earth was not wrong in his perception.

The reason it could sense it was because the giant beast's clone did it intentionally.

He hovered above the sky, quietly watching the ancestral land of the earthworms, without any intention of making a move.

By merely locking onto the Earth Ancestor with a wisp of energy, preventing him from making any rash moves, the victory in this great battle had already tilted infinitely in favor of the Human Alliance.

If the Earth Ancestor really has a backup plan, then the giant beast clone will make a move; otherwise, he doesn't plan to participate in this battle.

Since the aura of the Earth Ancestor was similar to that of the previous fifth-tier Saint Envoy, the volcano could easily kill it.

The chieftain of the Blazing Flame Clan, and the leader of the alliance of tribes, needs a military achievement that can wipe out his clan.

……

Roar!
With a roar, the yellow sand in the sky was scattered. Hearing the roar, the earthworms once again began to reorganize their formation and began to converge towards the center of the line.

This is the fifth time that the Earth Ancestor has reorganized the Earth ant formation.

In the previous instances, every time the earthworms reorganized into a tight formation, they were met with a barrage of fireballs and rockets.

No matter how much the Tulou tribe obeyed its ancestor's orders, they wouldn't stay put and get bombed.

Forget about obeying the ancestor's orders to form a compact formation; if they gather together and exceed tens of thousands in number, they will be met with fireballs.

The loose formation couldn't reach the human lines.

The compact formation was ravaged by the Terran rockets.

Upon hearing the call from the Earth Ancestor again, the Earth Clan members instinctively began to distance themselves from their neighbors.

Don't touch me.

Seeing that the reorganized formation was still as loose and messy as a chicken coop, the Earth Ancestor was furious.

The alliance pushed forward quickly, reaching beyond the yellow earth in the blink of an eye.

However, the human forces are advancing, while the Earth Ancestor is retreating.

"The chariot is the vanguard!"

"Warship escort."

As the Earth Ancestor retreated inward, the Great Wall opened a wide passage, and the warships moved forward first, beginning a large-scale, deep-penetration bombardment.

The Mountain-Moving Turtle emerged from the air, followed by five million elite troops of the central army. This central army quickly followed the Mountain-Moving Turtle towards the ancestral land of the Earth Louse.

The suspended warships rapidly bombarded the enemy, clearing a path for the army to advance.

The chariots then charged forward rapidly, clearing out the remaining forces and forming an external defense together with the heavily armored warriors and skirmishers.

The Mountain-Moving Turtle moved swiftly, and together with the torrent formed by the five million soldiers behind it, it rushed into the ancestral land of the Earth Louse.

The retreating Earth Ancestor saw a group of human warriors rushing into the ancestral land, roared repeatedly, and the ram horns on its head lit up with earthy light.

This is outrageous! They actually sent a bunch of ants to attack this fifth-tier earth ant ancestor.

They really don't consider it a fifth-order rank.

However, just as its ram horns shone brightly and a violent sandstorm had formed in mid-air, the Earth Ancestor suddenly stopped breathing.

Then, the storm that had been rising up vanished on the spot.

He suddenly remembered that the human race had a method to gather the blood and energy of its members. Judging from the way so many people were rushing over, they were definitely going to bombard it.

These are the ants on the surface, but there are also fifth-tier beings hidden in the shadows.

The Earth Ancestor wanted to run away, but the volcano wasn't going to let it.

He gripped the battle flag with both hands, his whole body radiating light. With a long roar, the soldiers following behind him roared in unison, their voices like thunder.

A surge of fierce fighting spirit erupted, merging with the vast blood energy, and instantly poured into the battle flag.

"You old codger, where do you think you're going!"

With a roar, the volcano's eyes opened and closed, its fighting spirit soaring across the sky, its momentum earth-shattering.

The battle flags waved wildly, and the crimson battle intent transformed into a torrent that rushed straight towards the fifth-tier Earth Ancestor.

The torrent of battle intent shattered the dust and sand, causing figures from all directions to stagger and crash into the depths of the ancestral land.

This attack was like a vast ocean pouring down. Amidst the rising light, the earthworm ancestor screamed in agony. In the midst of the blazing light, a bloody hole was torn open in the earthworm ancestor's body, and his flesh and blood tore open with large cracks.

After his successful attack, Volcano did not stop. He knew that his fighting spirit should be sustained at all times, and any pause would lead to its decline.

"kill!"

The volcano roared, its full head of black hair dancing wildly, its aura surging, its blood energy and battle intent combining to form a beastly shadow tens of feet in size, its body surging with blood energy.

The battle flag surged, waving in Volcano's hand, as the beastly shadows formed from blood energy and battle intent galloped away.

The Earth Ancestor stopped running. The earth on the ram's horn shone brightly, and a four-horned Earth Ant emerged, colliding with the beast's shadow.

With a deafening roar, the two collided violently, unleashing a dazzling shower of light, and the sky was filled with splashes of magical runes.

"kill!"

The volcano waved its battle flag for the third time, its blazing fighting spirit piercing through the rain of light and once again striking the Earth Ancestor.

puff!
Blood and bone splattered, and the sound of bones cracking rang out. The body of the Earth Ancestor burst open with a crack over a hundred feet long, and blood poured out like a great river.

"Go to hell!"

Ignoring the cracks and injuries on his body, the volcano waved its battle flag for the fourth time.

The fighting spirit, like a knife, slashed down from afar, landing instantly on the head of the Earth Ancestor. This time, it didn't have time to activate the witchcraft on its horns.

However, judging from the dull and lackluster appearance of the ram's horns, they don't seem to be able to inspire anything.

Click!

The skull of the Earth Ancestor then exploded.

"Our ancestor got his head blown off!"

A tall stature has the advantage of being able to see far, and it also allows others in the distance to see it clearly.

At that moment, the mole ants from all directions were terrified. Many of them trembled all over and couldn't help but urinate.

Our ancestor is dead!

"Ancestor Tulou is dead!"

The volcano, holding its battle flag, let out a long roar.

"kill!"

Rumble!
Upon hearing the summons, the army began its assault on the land of the Earth Louse Ancestor.

……

Deep in the ancestral land of the earthworms.

The giant beast's avatar looked at the Xuan Bird statue covered in thick sand and dust, as well as the withered offerings, with some surprise.

Judging from the current scene, it is true that the earthworms sacrificed themselves to the black bird, but the black bird itself is not that special.
