Chapter 409 - 5: Safer as His Ally Than as His Enemy
Chapter 409 - 5: Safer as His Ally Than as His Enemy
Shen Fei has also figured out this Ancient Secret Realm over time.
Although they refer to it as the ’Battle of Zhulu’, the whole world is named ’Great Wilderness’.
The ’Battle of Zhulu’ is just its most pivotal battle. If they were normal professionals.
Upon entering, one should consider how to join a tribe and advance through battles to gain a position.
Then find opportunities to complete their ultimate task and accumulate merit.
Finally exchanging for their needed Half-Mythical Profession, that’s the normal path.
As for Tier Ten or Tier Eleven, they might only appear in the task descriptions.
But unexpectedly, the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable directly replaced Chi You to become a leader of one force.
It provided many conveniences but also made Shen Fei’s task exceptionally difficult.
"It’s just that the level we encountered upon entering was too high.
Logically speaking.
Both Chi You and his eighty-one brothers,
as well as the Yellow Emperor, should be the background of entering professionals."
"And my task directly increased the difficulty to the highest level." Even Shen Fei felt quite troubled.
The Empress fell silent after hearing this, and said: "So our opponents are also Tier Eleven."
"It should be four or five Tier Eleven; our third stage task requires defeating the Flame Emperor."
"If we defeat the Flame Emperor, by then we’d face the Yan and Huang Alliance."
Chi You is Tier Eleven, and the Yellow Emperor is Tier Eleven.
He doesn’t believe that the Flame Emperor, as the Common Lord of the world, isn’t Tier Eleven.
"Moreover, according to mythology, by then the Yellow Emperor would still have the Ying Dragon and his daughter, the Drought Demoness, to assist him.
These two are highly likely to be entities of Tier Eleven."
"Also, the Great Wilderness possesses extraordinary power, like the witchcraft of the Jiuli Tribe, and it’s rumored that within the Human Race there are Magic and Cultivation Methods passed down from Immortal Gods."
The Empress also felt the situation was tricky upon hearing Shen Fei’s analysis.
This mythical history doesn’t quite match what Wu Xia records. In Wu Xia’s records.
The battles between Chi You and the Yellow Emperor seemed a bit primitive, with Chi You’s Jiuli Tribe being able to reign over the other tribes.
Simply because the Jiuli Tribe’s metal smelting technology let their fighting prowess surpass other tribes completely.
But in the eyes of future generations, it’s merely a dimensional reduction strike of metal weapons over wooden and stone weapons.
Yet placed here.
Even stone weapons made by ordinary tribes could smash a Tier Two professional into a blood mass when struck.
It looks primitive, but isn’t primitive.
"So the Ancient Secret Realm values how you utilize its inherent power rather than purely relying on yourself to push through."
The Empress suddenly said, "Speaking of which, since Cangtian has an identity, and I have one too, I wonder if Little Immortal and others in their respective places might have special identities?"
"This might be something we can take advantage of."
Shen Fei nodded, "Indeed."
And just then.
Suddenly, a figure rushed in.
Its head was triangular, like a snake’s head, with arms like two python thick as cups, with snake mouths intertwined around its waist.
Can Gang, one of the eighty-one commanders, merged with witchcraft and the Exotic Beast ’Steel Python’.
His arms can anytime inflate into thousand-meter steel pythons, swallowing thousands.
"Clan Leader, there’s a vanguard army from the Lie Mountain Tribe heading toward our edge, the Jiangyu Tribe."
The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable raised his brow; Lie Mountain Tribe attacked so quickly?
He said, "Take people to intercept. Remember to prioritize blocking, let Zhe Lu probe from behind, and see who among these people is the strongest.
Also, assess their strength, and crucially, how much follow-up support there is."
"Yes!"
Can Gang quickly left, and the Zhe Lu Chi You mentioned also merged witchcraft with the Exotic Beast ’Black Crow’.
The Black Crow is a special Exotic Beast recorded within the Great Wilderness, rumored to carry the bloodline of Ancient Divine Beasts.
Extremely fast, it can flee thousands of miles in an instant, and Zhe Lu has fused with seven Black Crows.
Aside from the Tier Eleven Chi You and Duan Xiu, even Wind God may not be faster than him.
He’s also the scout commander within the Jiuli Tribe.
And at this moment.
A prompt flashed across Shen Fei’s panel.
[Trigger Merit Task: Repel the Vanguard]
[Task Requirement: Repel the Lie Mountain Tribe’s vanguard army and keep the casualty rate within 10%]
[Task Reward: 2000 Merit]
"Looks like the Empress needs to make a trip."
Shen Fei said, discussing his merit task.
"I’ll go have a look, and also see the opponent we face."
The Empress stood up.
"With your strength, having you become a Commander directly won’t be opposed, plus your identity ensures no one will object."
"Alright."
...
Can Gang arrived at the barracks later, using a python as a hammer, and sounded the ’Jiuli Drum’.
’Boom——!’
’Boom——!’
’Boom Boom Boom!’
The sound spread across the Jiuli Tribe occupying nearly tens of thousands of miles, rapidly rallying several garrison places.
The drum sound was not random but based on the strength of the sound to gather the appropriate number of people.
Simultaneously.
At a garrison place, Wu Zhao’s prompt panel suddenly had an additional piece of information.
[Activate Merit Task: Go to repel the Lie Mountain Tribe’s army and participate in the repelling task.]
[Task Requirement: Kill at least one Centurion from the Lie Mountain Tribe]
[Task Reward: 10 Merit]
She simultaneously looked at the person beside her, "Did you receive the task?"
"Received."
The person next to her was equally stunning, but colder.
"Speaking of which, why don’t you go to the Lie Mountain Tribe or Youxiong Tribe? According to historical myth records."
"The Jiuli Tribe here is destined to be defeated."
"We’re under military orders; this saying doesn’t apply to you."
"Going with the flow isn’t bad, is it?"
The woman said in a calm voice, "Because I believe Shen Fei can succeed; he’s always been one to create miracles."
"Fang Qingluan, I recall you seem to have the qualifications to visit your family’s Secret Realm.
Do you intend to go together with the procession?"
Wu Zhao asked with a smile, and facing her sat Fang Qingluan.
Fang Qingluan shook her head, "With Shen Fei’s talent, he probably doesn’t even care for the Fang Family."
"Let alone me."
"I just think that being on the same side as Shen Fei is much safer than being his enemy."
Wu Zhao stood up and put on her standardized armor of the Jiuli Tribe, saying: "You are indeed a smart person."
"This time, those from the other four countries who have studied the Battle of Zhulu might be in trouble."
Wu Zhao shook her head; the Heavenly Pride Club certainly opposes Shen Fei, but the other four countries might not.
Most of them are here seeking opportunities.
If they’ve studied the Battle of Zhulu, many will surely join Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor’s side.
And their opponent will surely be Shen Fei then.
If everyone rises from a lower level, perhaps numbers might have some impact.
But Shen Fei now is already one of the high-ranking members in one camp.
The resources he can call upon aren’t even in the same league.
