Chapter 601: Chapter 402: Witchcraft Command Transmission
By the South River, ship after ship cut through the waves, heading in the direction of Mangzhu Mountain.
“Woo woo…”
“Boom, boom, boom…”
The mournful sound of horns seed to co from an ancient battlefield, stirring one’s spirit. The resounding war drums were like peals of thunder, making one’s blood boil.
“Prepare to dock. Disembark and proceed to Mangzhu Mountain on foot.”
With Jiang Xuan’s command, all the ships docked and anchored along the South River one after another.
Countless Warriors of the Vine Tribe disembarked with various mounts, quickly assembled, and imdiately rushed to Mangzhu Mountain to join the battle.
“Boom!”
Jiang Xuan, riding a massive Black Wind Rhinoceros, also disembarked, followed closely by Chi Shao on her Great Horned Deer.
Reaching the forest by the riverbank, Jiang Xuan turned to Chi Shao and said, “Sister, don’t charge in later. Just stay in the rear and tend to the wounded.”
Chi Shao flicked her long hair tied in a ponytail and smiled, “What, worried that I’ve lost my combat prowess after staying in the tribe too long? Don’t forget, I used to be one of the strongest warriors in our tribe.”
Jiang Xuan earnestly said, “Back then, our tribe’s population was small, so everyone had to give their all and fight together. But it’s different now; we have enough warriors to fight, so you don’t need to personally participate in the combat.”
“The Witch is the spiritual pillar for the warriors. If anything happens to the Witch on the battlefield, it will impact the morale of all warriors and be detrintal to the battle situation.”
After listening to Jiang Xuan, Chi Shao quickly analyzed the pros and cons and realized that Jiang Xuan was right, so she nodded and abandoned the idea of charging with the warriors.
Though she felt so regret about not being able to fight directly, Chi Shao’s temperant would never allow her to do anything rash and disregard the bigger picture.
Seeing Chi Shao agree, Jiang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He grabbed the finely crafted iron spear hanging on the side of the rhino, pointed towards Mangzhu Mountain, and growled, “Crescent Moon, advance!”
“Moo!”
The Black Wind Rhinoceros raised its head and let out a roar, then pawed the ground with its massive hoof, charging towards Mangzhu Mountain without fear!
“Charge!”
Witnessing this scene, countless Vine Tribe Warriors felt as if fed adrenaline, their Totem Patterns erged, and they charged forward on various mounts, following Jiang Xuan.
After most had surged ahead, Chi Shao gently patted her Great Horned Deer, proceeding along with a few Witch Doctors and warriors responsible for protecting them.
“Yee!”
As Jiang Xuan reached the base of Mangzhu Mountain, the Purple Eagle Tang Yuan burst with excitent, soaring above Jiang Xuan and letting out a cry like shattering tal and stone.
Soon, more than five thousand warriors from the Vine Tribe, along with warriors from the Ape Tribe, Mountain Turtle Tribe, Rat Tribe, Ant Tribe, and Frog Tribe, over ten thousand in total, gathered in mighty force at the base of Mangzhu Mountain.
Indeed, when forces number over ten thousand, they seem boundless. As the Black Snake Tribe mbers snapped out of the shock from the battle of the Totem Gods, they found themselves densely surrounded at the base of Mangzhu Mountain.
A Black Snake Tribe warrior exclaid in panic, “Chief, we seem to be surrounded, what do we do?”
“Slap!”
She Ya slapped him across the face and angrily said, “You’ve been scared by a few dium and small tribes? Disgraceful!”
After reprimanding the warrior, She Ya, full of hostility, raised his spear and roared, “Pass my order, prepare for battle. No matter who it is, if they ascend the mountain, kill them all!”
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
The warriors of the Black Snake Tribe gathered, ready to fight to the death against the allied tribes at the mountain’s base.
At the base of Mangzhu Mountain, the various Chiefs of the Vine Tribe and leaders of other tribes gathered around Jiang Xuan.
The Mountain Turtle Tribe Chief, Shan Jia, asked Jiang Xuan, “Chief Xuan, when do we attack?”
Jiang Xuan looked at the steep slope and frowned, “We can’t charge directly up. Attacking uphill puts us at a disadvantage. Just running up will tire us, and during combat, the Black Snake Tribe will have the upper hand.”
The Ape Tribe Chief expressed concern, “Then what do we do? The Black Snake Tribe won’t co down easily. Are we to just surround them here indefinitely?”
Others also looked to Jiang Xuan, hoping he would quickly decide.
Jiang Xuan pondered for a mont, then said to the warriors beside him, “Invite the Witches here.”
“Yes!”
The warrior imdiately rode a giant bird to the rear.
Jiang Xuan also shouted to the Rat Tribe Chief, “Hui Shu, invite your tribe’s Witch as well.”
“Alright!”
Hui Shu also called forth a warrior to fetch the tribe’s Witch.
Before long, Chi Shao and the Rat Tribe Witch, Ze Lan, arrived beside Jiang Xuan.
Ze Lan, who used to be a Witch dical Apprentice in the Vine Tribe, had been sent to the Rat Tribe as a Witch when it was reestablished, as it had neither a Totem God nor a Witch’s legacy.
Seeing Chi Shao and Jiang Xuan, Ze Lan was very excited, but with a battle approaching, it wasn’t the ti for reminiscing, so she suppressed her emotions, trying to remain composed.
Chi Shao asked, “Chief, is there anything you need us to do?”
Jiang Xuan replied, “Witch, I rember you have a kind of witchcraft that can make plants grow infinitely. Can you use the roots of the plants to delve into Mangzhu Mountain and find the Bamboo Rat Tribe Witch?”
Chi Shao looked at the towering Mangzhu Mountain and said, “It’s a bit difficult, but I will try my best.”
Jiang Xuan nodded and said, “Good. If you find the Bamboo Rat Tribe Witch, tell him that if the Bamboo Rat Tribe doesn’t want to be exterminated, let the Bamboo Rat God lead all the warriors to imdiately attack the people of the Black Snake Tribe and drive them down from Mangzhu Mountain!”
“Alright, I will start looking for the Bamboo Rat Tribe Witch right now.”
Chi Shao walked to a clearing, selected a few seeds with the most developed root systems from her beast hide bag, and then placed them in the soil.
“Ka-tsu wu wu di…”
Chi Shao closed her eyes, chanting incantations while mobilizing all her witch power and infusing it into the seeds.
“Crack crack…”
Soon, those seeds swelled rapidly, sprouted roots and leaves, and then grew at an incredible speed, countless roots desperately burrowing underground.
Chi Shao controlled the growth direction of these plant roots, letting them drill as deep into Mangzhu Mountain as possible, using them to sense the presence of the Bamboo Rat Tribe Witch.
Jiang Xuan had Gou Teng and others guard Chi Shao to prevent her from being attacked while performing witchcraft.
Afterwards, Jiang Xuan said to Ze Lan, “Rat Tribe Witch, I know that the two Mouse Gods of your tribe have arrived at Mangzhu Mountain. Please contact them, and as soon as the Bamboo Rat Tribe takes action, they must also erge from the ground to help drive the Black Snake Tribe down from Mangzhu Mountain.”
Ze Lan nodded solemnly and said, “Xuan Chief, don’t worry. I will contact the two great Mouse Gods imdiately.”
Ze Lan closed her eyes, chanting an incantation to summon the gods, trying to contact the two demigod giant rats.
Those two demigod giant rats were indeed on Mangzhu Mountain, and because the distance was relatively close, Ze Lan quickly established contact with them and conveyed the orders from the Vine Tribe.
The two demigod giant rats were very intelligent. They knew that their current strength and status were all because of the Divine Vine, so they did not dare to disobey the orders of the Vine Tribe and readily agreed.
Not long after, Ze Lan reopened her eyes and said to Jiang Xuan, “Xuan Chief, the two Mouse Gods have agreed.”
Jiang Xuan nodded satisfactorily, confident that with the strength of those two demigod giant rats, as long as the Black Snake God did not intervene, it would be no problem to disrupt the Black Snake Tribe’s formation.
At this mont, Chi Shao, who was performing witchcraft, suddenly spoke, “Found it!”
Jiang Xuan, invigorated, imdiately walked over to her side.
At this mont, below Mangzhu Mountain, the Bamboo Rat Tribe Witch was repeatedly examining the divination bamboo pieces by the fire pit.
Suddenly, a white plant root erged from the soil above his head, followed by a second, a third…
“Who?”
The Bamboo Rat Tribe Witch suddenly sensed a strange and powerful witch power fluctuation. He looked up and saw countless plant roots hanging overhead.
The Bamboo Rat Tribe Witch was startled, quickly stood up and backed to the cave wall, shouting in panic, “Who are you?”
The plant roots above the cave quickly intertwined, forming the shape of a woman, her mouth opening and closing as she said:
“I am the Vine Tribe Witch. We have already reached the foot of Mangzhu Mountain. Why does your Bamboo Rat Tribe not co out to fight with us?”
“The Vine God, Ape God, and Mountain Turtle God are outside fighting the Black Snake God, yet your Bamboo Rat Tribe Gods hide underground, allowing the Black Snake Tribe to slaughter your tribesn on the mountain. Don’t you feel ashad?”
“I now command you in the na of the Vine Tribe. The Bamboo Rat God and your Bamboo Rat Tribe warriors must imdiately go to battle and drive the Black Snake Tribe down from Mangzhu Mountain, or regardless of the war’s outco, your Bamboo Rat Tribe will be exterminated!”
After Chi Shao finished speaking, she didn’t give the Bamboo Rat Tribe Witch a chance to explain. Her witch power and soul power quickly retracted, and the roots lost the support of witch power, imdiately wilting and falling apart.
The Bamboo Rat Tribe Witch shouted urgently, “Vine Tribe Witch, let explain. It’s not that we don’t want to fight, but that I can’t contact the Bamboo Rat God!”
However, no matter how he shouted, the roots did not respond at all.
The Bamboo Rat Tribe Witch sat dejectedly on the ground, covering his face with his hands, caught in endless pain and struggle.
If he led the warriors to battle without the Bamboo Rat God’s help, the Bamboo Rat Tribe would inevitably suffer heavy losses.
But if he did not go to battle, after this war, whether the Vine Tribe won, or the Black Snake Tribe won, they would certainly be purged.
“How could this happen… How could this happen…”
The Bamboo Rat Tribe Witch kept muttering this sentence, almost driven insane by the pain.
However, at this mont, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind: “Go and assemble the tribe’s warriors. We have no choice—just do as the Vine Tribe says.”
The Bamboo Rat Tribe Witch was both shocked and overjoyed, crying tears of relief, “God, you finally appeared. I thought you had abandoned the tribe, abandoned …”
Below Mangzhu Mountain, Chi Shao, having finished performing witchcraft, opened her eyes and, looking exhausted, said to Jiang Xuan, “I have conveyed the order to the Bamboo Rat Tribe Witch. As long as they don’t want to be exterminated, they should go to battle soon.”
Jiang Xuan tenderly supported Chi Shao and said, “Thank you for your hard work, Witch. You should return to the rear and rest. Leave the rest to us.”
Chi Shao nodded, and with Ze Lan, under the protection of several warriors, walked to the rear of the battlefield.
After Chi Shao and Ze Lan left, everyone below Mangzhu Mountain anxiously waited for the actions of the Bamboo Rat Tribe and the two demigod giant rats.
The great battle was on the verge of breaking out!
