Chapter 92: Sudden Change in the Mountains
"What's going on? What happened? How did you end up like this?"
"Hunter" squeezed into the crowd, looking at this cow-headed man, a person he knew, who was one of the members of the team that had entered the deep mountains and forests to hunt, and had parted ways with Ye Han's group halfway.
Just looking at him now, he's extremely disheveled, with injuries on his body and some blood that hasn't fully dried yet. It's clear they had a huge fight, but what exactly happened in the middle of it all?
"Hunter-sama, hurry up and gather the warriors of the tribe... Val and the others need assistance..."
As soon as he saw Hunter, this Minotaur warrior immediately seemed to have found his backbone and said anxiously.
"Ge Li, don't be in a hurry, speak slowly, what's going on?!"
Hunter's one eye widened in surprise, but he still spoke calmly.
"It was in the depths of Yunling, a mountain valley deep in the mountains and ancient forests, that we encountered an attack by the Mus barbarian tribe from eight hundred miles away..."
That was obviously a Kettle warrior named Geli, who had rushed down from the deep mountains and was now panting heavily as he recounted what had happened.
Originally, this hunting team led by 'Great Hunting Leader' Kanmode, after separating from Ye Han and others halfway, mistakenly entered the depths of Yunling while chasing a group of 'Silver Horned Deer', encountered an earthquake, landslides, and hid. After everything calmed down, they discovered that due to the earthquake, a gap in a mountain valley was opened, with treasures shining inside, accompanied by terrifying beast roars that shook the heart, the mountains trembled, and the chaotic surrounding mountains were shaking violently, obviously containing precious objects. Just as they were thinking of going in to investigate, they were ambushed by a savage tribe from 800 miles away, suffering heavy casualties.
And this Minotaur warrior called 'Geli' was the one who, with everyone's concerted effort, tore open a breakthrough and was sent to rush over and seek help.
In the Woguo Mountains, the mountains are vast and various rare and strange beasts emerge one after another. In addition to the "Kaitel" cow-headed people, many barbarian tribes also survive. The barbarians claim to be the sons of the mountains and are said to have the bloodline of the ancient "Master of the Group Mountains". They are distributed in this vast area of unknown size, and outside the 800-mile radius of the Tieho tribe, there is indeed a powerful barbarian tribe called the "Taluo tribe", which is the largest barbarian tribe in the recent region.
Due to the dispute over hunting grounds, there have been many frictions with Tieho tribe in recent years, but both sides have been restrained. Unexpectedly, this time they suddenly took action against Kanmode and his hunting team!
Upon hearing this, all the Minotaurs immediately became enraged. 'Battle', 'battle', 'blood cleansing'... In the depths of the great mountains, a tribe can only prosper if it maintains sufficient cohesion, has powerful warriors, and has a strong deterrent that does not allow any other tribes to invade. Only in this way can they obtain more resources, broader territories, hunt more prey, and ensure the prosperity of the tribe.
The weak are not qualified to occupy a place in the midst of these ten thousand mountains, the stronger the strong, the weaker the weak. What a tribe fears most is losing its blood nature. In this mountain range, once you lose your blood nature, it means retreat, it means being looked down upon, and it means losing the most important 'root' of a tribe.
The Iron Hoof tribe, this time, was ambushed and suffered heavy losses. As the strongest tribe in the surrounding area of several thousand miles, this is something that has never happened before. It's no wonder that all the Bull Head people are furious and indignant, they must give those greedy and shameless barbarians a severe blow, beat them until they're hurt, even defeat them completely, drive them out of this mountainous region, only then can they tell all the neighboring tribes with ill intentions that the Iron Hoof tribe is still the strongest and cannot be invaded.
Only when all the tribes with ulterior motives are intimidated, can we eradicate incidents like this one where members of the Iron Hoof tribe were ambushed, and ensure the safety of our people who venture out.
The Kaito Minotaur, although treating friends and family with a straightforward and kind personality, not paying attention to trifles, is extremely violent and direct when dealing with enemies. It was precisely this very ancient ideology that has been passed down, giving all the Kaito Minotaur clans a strong sense of cohesion, uniting them into one large clan, allowing them to survive in these perilous mountains, and continuing to thrive until today.
Just as all the Ox-Headed people were indignantly shouting for revenge, Ye Han furrowed his brow, instinctively feeling that things weren't so simple.
"That barbarian tribe has been outside for decades, it's impossible that they don't know the ferocity of the Iron Hoof Tribe. So although they have been eyeing the vast resources obtained by the Iron Hoof Tribe, they have always had restraint. However, in these past ten or so years, the Chaotic Tribe has developed rapidly and gradually nurtured ambition, but still didn't dare to openly clash with the Iron Hoof Tribe. Yet this time they suddenly made a move to intercept and kill that branch of the Iron Hoof Tribe's hunting party that was outside. What is their motive? Could it be that they know what kind of treasure was born in that hidden valley?"
After careful consideration, this is the only point that can be made clear, otherwise it cannot be explained why the chaotic tribe would deliberately tear their faces apart.
Ye Han's eyes flashed, what was in the valley? It could make the Chaoran tribe intercept and kill the hunting team of the Tie Ma tribe who saw the birth of the treasure. They obviously didn't want the Tie Ma tribe to know this news, or rather, they didn't want the Tie Ma tribe to know what kind of treasure was born in the valley?!
Just then, Ye Han suddenly spoke up and asked.
"Kamui-dono, before you break through the encirclement, is there anything you want to entrust?!"
His words immediately made the noisy surroundings quiet down, and everyone was shocked.
"Is that so? Where is Commander Camode?"
As everyone looked at him in unison, the Kaito called "Gurei" shook his head and said.
"Lord Kamoda, in order to let me escape, was surrounded by three or four tribes of 'Mors' and escaped into the depths of the mountains with the remaining warriors!"
In the barbarian tribes, unlike the 'Kettle' Minotaur tribe, they are the descendants of the 'Master of the Mountains', although their bloodline has become diluted, but still have a connection with the mountains. In each barbarian tribe, they worship 'Mors', which means 'Guardians' in the native language. The barbarians regard them as powerful guardians under the command of the Master of the Mountains and offer sacrifices to them. In fact, they are alien creatures born in the mountains, possibly stone monsters, evil spirits or some kind of powerful magical beast that preys on the offerings of the barbarians to provide protection for them.
Now the remaining Minotaur warriors led by the 'Hunting Overlord' were being hunted down by three or more Mors, even if he was strong, it was possible that there would be too many enemies to handle!
The words of that Minotaur warrior immediately caused a stir, and everyone was enraged.
Ye Han's eyes changed and his body was suddenly wrapped in white mang, shooting towards the distant deep mountains and ancient forests...
"I'll go first, you organize the warriors to follow afterwards..."
"Yes!"
All the Kettlehead warriors present were enraged and wished they could attack immediately, thundering in response.
This time, the Iron Hoof Lion tribe, which had been dormant and sleeping for a long time, will finally show off its sharp claws and fangs again, intimidating all those with ulterior motives, making all the tribes within a thousand miles tremble!
