    Not knowing whether those AWACS, that could achieve seamlessmunication on the entire Shrimp B1 Ind, had a powerful monitoring function or not, Zhang Lisheng was careful not to change his form after he entered the jungle. Instead, by relying on his extraordinary body strength, he trekked through difficult terrains and rivers, and even slowed down his pace a little, before finally reaching the Tudenan tribe by foot unhurried after more than ten hours.


    The tribe was empty and uninhabited, leaving only a few countless ruined bark houses, some Lohlos, and giant millispiders who could not go back to their stone pens to hide in time.


    This was obviously the result of a round of intensive bombing carried out by the US army indiscriminately on all of the indigenous tribes after the human gathering ce suffered from the terrifying attack. Had Zhang Lisheng not promptly ordered the Tudenan people to hide in the underground river, they would have suffered from heavy casualties inevitably.


    “The consequences of the first bombing would always be the worst. After going through this experience, the Hellfire people would definitely have learned to dig holes...” The young man muttered and walked to the cave entrance leading directly to the underground river. After he bent down and entered it, he did not continue to walk deeply but instead, he sat cross-legged in the hole to conceal himself. After cultivating the secret method to fritter away several hours, he turned on the tablet-likemunication device that he took along with him.


    After it was connected, the interface of themunicator screen was simple and friendly. First, a ck and white US national emblem embossed with the bald eagle showed up and by the time the national emblem was slowly filled with colors, the interface led directly to a jujube seed-shaped map.


    Zhang Lisheng recognized that this was the full map of Shrimp B1 Ind. After a moment of contemtion, he reached out a hand to touch an aborigine’s head that was the size of a thumbnailbeled with the words ‘A1’ at the ce closest to the coastline in the middle of the jujube seed. In an instant, a clock icon appeared under the head of the aborigine.


    After a moment of bafflement, Zhang Lisheng intentionally adjusted the time in the icon to 12 o’clock in the middle of the night. Immediately, a clear voice resonated from themunication device. “Compass! Compass! This is Eagle’s Nest! This is Eagle’s Nest! Please confirm whether the attack location you specified is ‘A1’ and the attack time is set at zero thousand tonight. Please confirm...”


    “The attack time is set at zero thousand tonight. As for the attack location, change it to all aboriginal tribes except for ‘A1’ and ‘C1’. Change the attack locations to all ...” Zhang Lisheng remained silent for a while as he studied the map and finally answered. However, before he could finish the sentence, the voice in themunication device suddenly changed. “Compass, I have to remind you that the attack intensity will be reduced if the target area is too wide...”


    “General Cole, Tudenan tribesmen have epted my instigation. They will be the main force of the attack while the air strikes are only to prevent those tribes who attacked the human gathering ce from giving each other reinforcements and make them huddle up in caves. The degree of intensity doesn’t matter but you must drag out the attack duration as long as possible.”


    “I understand what you mean now. It’s a clever strategy but it can still be improved. The tribe you’re instigating is ‘C1’ while the target of the attack is ‘A1’ right?”


    “Yes.”


    “Then I’ll give ‘A1’ a round of saturated bombings before zero thousand tonight, and then we’ll proceed ording to your n. What do you think?”


    “This is indeed a better strategy. Looks like amateurs are never as good as professionalmanders. I’ll see you again, General.” After saying so, he shut off themunication device and stood up in the narrow cave and brushed the thick denim clothes on his body. Like a tourist looking for adventure, he continued to walk down with a bent body.


    An hourter, when he came up again together with the native crowds, he had already transformed into a ferocious monster covered in green scales.


    When the Tudenan people resurfaced to the ground from the damp and cold river bank of the underground river and breathed in the air that had a slight scent of rotten vegetation, they could not help but cheer in a low voice. However, when they saw the scene where the tribe’s dwellings had been almostpletely destroyed, shock and hatred filled their eyes instead.


    “Great Raider! Those ounders are really too arrogant! It’s the Kamando and the tribal coalition forces led by Samru, Pelungia and Eruya who attacked them so what does it have anything to do with us Tudenan? T-They actually destroyed the entire tribe for no reason!” A strong native, who had three feathers on his head, kneeled in front of Zhang Lisheng and shouted. “This is a defilement to your power! It’s a defilement for the entire...”


    “These ounders have the alchemy weapon that can turn the whole ind into a sea of ??fire. They can do whatever they want because of their powerfulness!” Zhang Lisheng did not even look at the Tudenan chief leader who was kneeling at his feet. Without emotion, he said, “Tudenan is weakpared to them so the weak cannot make any noise in front of the strong one. Fortunately, they’re strong but dumb. I have already reached an agreement with the headman of those ounders. They’re willing to help us rule the entire ind but the price we have to pay is that we must give a part of the jungle with a radius of 30,000 steps near the stone tribe to them. This is a very profitable agreement, Tugra. Tell all the warriors who came up to the ground to summon their partners and fall in line into formation. Tonight, we’ll conquer the Samru.”


    “Great Raider!” Tudenan headman was astonished. He kneeled down in front of the tribal Raider and summoned his strength to reply. “But the giant millispiders couldn’t enter underground and have been continued to be raised in the stone pens 100-steps away from the tribe. I’m afraid 20 to 30% of them have already died and not only that, the warriors have not eaten fully for several days already so isn’t it better if... if...”


    “Tugra, I understand what you mean. It is true that Tudenan is indeed weak now but Samru is much weaker than us. If we attack them now, we’ll be able to defeat them easily.”


    Since the Raider insisted on starting the war, the Tudenan headman did not dare to say anything more. With a ‘Yes’, he stood to gather the warriors in the tribe.


    The pulley frame pulling the wooden cart next to the totem pole had copsed so the wooden cart that was used to pull up the catches could no longer be used. Because of this, the natives could only exit the tunnel one by one.


    Due to this reason, despite Zhang Lishengmanding the tribal warriors to proceed first, and despite the Hellfire people’s discipline that was embedded in their bones, only when evening fell did all of the Tudenan warriors finish gathering.


    The number of casualties of the giant millispiders raised by the tribe was much smaller than those predicted by Tugra.. At the critical moment of bombing carried out by the US military aircraft, the bugs that still had a wild nature in them escaped from the stone pen one by one. They were smart enough to avoid a great disaster but even so, assembling 35,600 partnered warriors was already the maximum limit that could be achieved by Tudenan.


    Attacking Samru required a night of long-distance trekking. The warriors without ‘partners’ were unable to join, unless they had been transnted with the Gold Core fragments and had undergone some change in their lives.


    The sun slowly set between the mountains and forests. After listening to Tugra’s report on the number of warriors who could be deployed for the conquest, Zhang Lisheng secretly calcted in his mind. Then, hemanded Ghostface that had been sitting on his shoulder to leap onto the ground and expand.


    With a jump, he sat on the wizard gu’s back andmanded it to walk to the air above the countless warriors riding the huge purple-haired spiders who were ready to march. After inspecting the frontmost row, he suddenly roared with an earth-shattering voice, ” We have 800 spell-casting chief warriors and 35,600 tribal warriors with partners, so don’t tell me we still can’t conquer a small tiny Samru? Tell me, the heroic warriors of Tudenan! Tell me, my devout believers, who will taste the fruits of the victory tonight?”


    “Tudenan! Tudenan! Tudenan...” The soldiers shouted in a tsunami-like voice.


    “Looks like everyone knows what the correct answer is,” Zhang Lisheng put on a listening act and said with satisfaction. “In that case, let us set out to pick up the luscious fruit now!”


    Then, hemanded Ghostface to walk on the invisible spider silk, and led the 800 Super Hellfiremen and more than 35,000 elite warriors into the jungle.


    Right now, a group of dark clouds gathered over the ind. First, they brought along fierce wind with bursts of icy water vapor and then, sudden raindrops of various sizes fell.


    The deep jungle was like a big umbre that kept most of the raindrops out. However, it could not do anything to the streaks of thunder falling from the clouds that seemed to be able to tear the sky.


    Amidst the lightning and thunder, the giant trees in the jungle were hit by lightning and were scorched right away from time to time, setting off raging mountain fires. Zhang Lisheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the back of the wizard gu, carefully avoided the fire in the forest, and continued to walk till the middle of the night. All of a sudden, he heard a subtle humming sound getting gradually louder in the night sky as the heavy rain gradually stopped.


    “Sh*t! My timing is dyed because of the rainstorm! The US army has begun to take action already...” The young man came to a halt andmanded Ghostface to lightly climb up a tree canopy. With his hand ced above his eyes to block the misty rain, he looked into the distance.


    Relying on his superb eyesight, he saw around tenpletely ck bombers, having streamlined bodies that looked like water droplets with long slender wings, effectively merging as one with the night sky as they began to charge forward with a whirring sound, under the escort of hundreds of fighter nes, ready tounch the bombs.


    “It’s fortunate that we’re not far already. The timing is really...” After estimating the distance between himself and the nes, Zhang Lisheng breathed a long sigh of relief. Before he could finish his mumble, he saw 30 to 40 ck figures suddenly soaring up into the air from the jungle and charging towards the US military fleets.


    Due to the reason that the height difference between the two was too huge. Even though the ck figures managed to catch them by surprise, they were still intercepted by the US military fighters midair.


    Amidst the fires set off by the missile explosions and machine guns, there was a spiritual monster that had a bird’s head, a human’s body, a bat’s wings, and arge mouth that could spout green acid mist, fighting with the fighters; a spiritual monster that relied on the six pairs of ck mottled wings behind it to p ceaselessly to fly so that it could avoid missiles tracking in the sky; and also a spiritual monster that was swaying its giant whale-like body, treating the rain curtain as the sea as it swam upwards towards the bombers. Upon seeing this, Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a while before blurting out, “Spiritual monsters... Almost 40 spiritual monsters that have the ability to fly... H-How is this possible? How is it possible for Samru that has only 150,000 tribesmen and has lost 30% of its guardian spiritual monsters to retain such strength?”
