"I didn't expect the Golden Mantis Tribe to get involved!" Noivan frowned and muttered to himself.
"The Golden Mantis Tribe … Is there a problem?" Han Li seemed to hear the abnormality in Noivan's tone.
"The Golden Mantis Tribe is also a large tribe of the Insect Tribe. It's a little like the Beast Tribe's Eight Sacred Tribes. It's originally quite far from here, and it's adjacent to the Divine Elephant Tribe and the Falcon Wing Tribe.
Those Awn Bone Insectoid Nests are also very far from here … Furthermore, the scale of the attack this time is much larger than before. Otherwise, we wouldn't have needed to gather so many tribes here, "Noivan explained.
"You mean to say that the Insect Tribe's actions this time are a little abnormal?" Han Li's heart jolted, but his expression did not change as he asked.
"That's right. Although the Beast Tribe and the Insect Tribe have always had a deep grudge against each other, and we've been fighting non-stop recently, most of the battles between the two sides have been scattered in various regions. A large-scale attack like this has never happened in the past." Although Noivan nodded, he could not help but look worried.
"From the looks of it, it is indeed very abnormal.
Fortunately, you've already taken precautions. Otherwise, this place would have fallen long ago, "Han Li said thoughtfully.
At this moment, the two armies below finally clashed with each other, and they were completely engaged in battle.
The Grizzly Bear Tribe was tall and strong, and he charged at the forefront. His burly body was covered in blood, and his body was three times larger than before. In addition, he held a giant axe that was about the same size as his body. As he swung it, giant blood-red axe-light shot out.
Although the Insect Tribe's army had the advantage in numbers, they could not resist the attack of the Grizzly Bear Tribe, and they suffered heavy casualties.
The Grizzly Bear Tribe led the rest of the Beast Tribe behind him, and they continuously charged through the gaps in the Insect Tribe's army.
On the other side, the Unihorn Tribe's body flickered with green light, and a thick layer of cuticle appeared. His body also became a size larger, and the horn on his head became several times thicker. Circles of green patterns appeared on it.
Accompanied by a series of whooshing sounds, rays of cold green light flew out of the horn, and swept towards the Insect Tribe's army in front.
The piercing power of these green beams was extremely strong. A beam of green light would usually penetrate seven to eight Zergs before disappearing.
The insectoid that was pierced by the green light stiffened up, as though it was frozen solid. It stood there stiffly, motionless.
The one-horned warrior brandished the weapon in his hand, easily killing these immobile insectoids.
Even though this race wasn't as powerful as the Violent Bear Race, their speed of advance wasn't any slower than the Violent Bear Race's.
With the Grizzly Bear Tribe and the Unicorn Tribe as the arrowhead, the Beast Tribe's army charged into the Insect Tribe's army.
At this moment, a strange squeaking sound came from within the insectoid army. The insectoids in front of the Violent Bear Tribe suddenly retreated like a receding tide. Countless black giant ants appeared out of nowhere and surged towards the Violent Bear Tribe.
Each of these giant ants was the size of a millstone. Their entire bodies were black and shiny, as if they were cast from fine iron. Their slender eyes flickered with a dark green light, and they were densely packed together, causing people to feel a chill in their hearts.
The Violent Bear Tribe member roared, and the giant axe in his hand flew out. Axe shadows slashed at these giant ants with even greater ferocity than before.
Bang! Bang! Bang! A series of sounds that sounded like raindrops falling to the ground rang out, and the black giant ants were sent flying. However, these giant ants' bodies were extremely tough. Even though they were sent flying, not many of them were killed. The injured giant ants were provoked, and they charged forward again.
Countless black giant ants were like black waves, advancing wave after wave to block the Violent Bear Tribe's path. More and more of them surrounded the Violent Bear Tribe. At the same time, giant ants started to appear on both sides of the Violent Bear Tribe.
The Violent Bear Tribe member roared furiously, but their attacks were blocked by these fearless black giant ants, and their speed of advance was greatly reduced.
At the same time, the ground in front of the one-horned race churned, and earthy yellow scorpions broke out from the ground.
These scorpions were huge, as tall as a person. Their entire bodies were crimson, and the strangest thing was that their faces were shaped like human faces. It was extremely bizarre.
The green light shot out from the one-horned race member's head struck these human-faced scorpions, but its penetrating power was greatly reduced. It only pierced through one giant scorpion before disappearing without a trace.
Furthermore, the human-faced scorpion that had been pierced by the green light only stiffened for an instant before continuing to charge toward the one-horned race member as if it were completely unscathed.
The power of the green light from the one-horned race member's attacks was drastically reduced, and their offensive was also immediately thwarted.
In mid-air, the Serene Chen Tribe was being held back by the Golden Mantis Tribe. Even though they weren't being defeated, they were unable to provide assistance to the Violent Bear Tribe members.
The beast army had initially been charging forward with unstoppable momentum, but after the Violent Bear Tribe, the One-horned Tribe, and the Serene Chen Tribe were being thwarted, they gradually fell into a stalemate.
The insectoid army's advantage in numbers was slowly being displayed, and the situation on the battlefield was gradually tilting in favor of the insectoid army.
On the black platform, all of the beast leaders wore dark expressions.
Nuo Qinglin's brows furrowed as he instructed, "Send a message to Elder Sa Han and tell him to step in."
One of the Serene Chen Beings beside him gave an affirmative response before vanishing on the spot.
Not long after that, a red-robed humanoid figure flew out from somewhere on the beast army's front lines. He waved his hands through the air, and three balls of grey light shot forth from his hands, appearing in the air above the insectoid army in a flash.
He then began to chant something, and the balls of grey light shattered in a flash.
Thump, thump, thump!
Three extremely loud booms rang out, and the entire battlefield tremored violently. Three massive figures that were as massive as mountains suddenly descended from the sky, crashing into the center of the insectoid army.
Countless black ants and human-faced scorpions were smashed into smithereens, and their bodies were instantly pulverized into puddles of mush.
Han Li cast his gaze toward that direction to discover three grey-skinned giants that were over 10,000 feet tall. Their upper bodies were completely nude, and their lower bodies were covered in short skirts that were pieced together from countless pieces of beast hide. They were holding massive wolf-tooth clubs in their hands, and they were swinging those clubs back and forth through the air.
These grey-skinned giants were all extremely hideous. There were almost no facial features on their massive faces, and there was only a single massive vertical eye on their foreheads. There were no noses on their faces, and there were only two round holes as nostrils.
The area below their nostrils was also completely empty, and there were no mouths for eating.
The mace that seemed to have been ground from a mountain peak was swung in their hands like a massive stone mill. It rumbled through the insectoid army's formation, and regardless of whether it was the rocks, trees, or the giant insectoid ants, they were all smashed into powder.
After the giant ants' bodies were smashed, large amounts of fluorescent green liquid flowed out, and flowed all over the ground. The liquid gathered together and spread across the ground like a trickling stream, corroding the ground wherever it passed, and white smoke rose up.
After a period of chaos, the giant black ants recovered slightly, and they once again organized an attack. They continued to surge forward in a frenzy, and soon surrounded the three Cyclops.
Large numbers of giant ants climbed up layer by layer, and soon covered half of the Cyclops' body. All of them were ferocious, and they opened their serrated mouths to bite. Fluorescent green liquid seeped out from the corners of their mouths, and together with their sharp serrated teeth, they corroded and cut the Cyclops' skin.
The Cyclops shook its body violently as it slapped its hands, trying to get the giant ants off its body. However, these little things were extremely stubborn, and it could not get rid of them at all.
At this moment, a loud and clear horn sounded, followed by a deafening roar!
Rows of centaur warriors with human-like upper bodies and zebra lower bodies appeared at the back of the entire orc army. Each of them held a large bow made of ivy, and from the quivers hanging at their sides, they drew green arrows that were half a foot long, and nocked them on the bowstrings.
Their movements were unusually uniform, and they all aimed at the sky in unison. When they pulled the bowstrings, bursts of green light condensed on the arrows from all directions, condensing into a green vortex on the arrowhead.
Swish, swish, swish!
A series of air-piercing sounds rang out at the same time, and densely packed green arrows flew into the sky at the same time, turning into a green rain of arrows that rained down on the orc army.
The Cyclops' skin was innately tough, and even after being tormented by the giant ants' corrosive green liquid for a long time, it only revealed a few red spots. When the arrows landed on its body, they only produced a series of tinkling sounds, and did not suffer any damage.
As for the black giant ants that were attached to their bodies, their bodies were not as tough, and they were all shot by the arrows, exploding one after another.
On the other side, there were over a thousand Beast Race monsters that were more than a thousand feet tall. They were covered in thick earthy yellow armor, and there were two huge spikes on each side of their heads that were as thick as pillars, piercing forward. The spikes flickered with a piercing cold light, and they charged into the insect army in an incomparably tyrannical manner.
The insect army was clearly at a disadvantage in terms of physique and strength, and more than half of the Human-faced Scorpion army at the very front was trampled into powder. The front line was also pushed back several dozen miles.
However, not long after, the Diamond Spiders and the Grey Toad army at the back filled in, and they were in a stalemate with the beast army.
"As the saying goes, 'The first spurt of energy will weaken, and the third will be exhausted.'
The beast army seems to be winning, but in the end, it will be difficult for you to last.
The insect army far outnumbers the beast army, and if the current situation continues, you will lose, "Han Li said slowly as he looked at the situation on the battlefield.
"Senior Li, it is a little too early to say this.
The beast army's first battle drum has not been sounded yet, "Noi Ivan said with a calm expression.
Thump thump … Thump thump …
She had only just finished speaking when a series of dull drumbeats that seemed to be hammering on people's hearts began to sound.
Immediately afterward, a series of strange chanting sounds began to sound from all over the battlefield.
The language being chanted was not the language used by the beast army, and it was naturally not the common language of the Immortal Realm, but Han Li felt like he had heard it before.
"This seems to be the language of some kind of True Spirit Tribe …" After listening for a while, he came to a sudden realization.
Han Li looked around to see that there were several grey-robed beings in the armies of the Violent Bear Tribe, the One-Horned Tribe, and the Serene Star Tribe all around the battlefield.
They had different body types, but their clothing was almost identical. Each of them held a black wooden staff made of an unknown material in their hands, and they were dancing with joy as they were surrounded by many beast army warriors.
The strange chanting of the True Spirit Tribe was coming from their mouths.
