Summoners: One Golden Term per Level

Chapter 445 - 41: Youxiong’s Transformation, Mecha?

Can Gang finished listening to Shen Fei’s analysis and had no choice but to give up on this matter.

Indeed, with minimal cost, they managed to probe Zhurong’s existence.

Moreover, they gained quite a lot, just without successfully crossing the river. If judged by casualties, they achieved a complete victory.

"Let the Rain Master and Winds and Waves tribes continue what they were doing before."

"Also, have some of the merged tribe members use military merit and allow relatives to become Jiuli Clan members to let them act as the distracting army."

"We cannot let the Lie Mountain Tribe’s troops rest peacefully."

Shen Fei continued to issue orders.

"Also, make sure Zhe Lu is responsible for thorough reconnaissance around their area."

And the Nan Nong Tribe, which we previously let come along the way, have they arrived?"

Can Gang nodded, saying, "They have."

As for the Nan Nong Tribe, although their leader Nan Nong has just entered Harmonization of Dao, he himself is not adept at battle.

But they are excellent at farming, given that even those comparable to Divinity Transformation, Harmonization of Dao, and other sorcerers need food in their daily lives.

This is the difference between sorcerers and cultivators; cultivators can absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism, with even a slight outflow of power being enough to fill their stomachs.

Yet sorcerers, even if not fusing exotic beast bloodlines, but specifically following the most orthodox sorcerers of the Duan Xiu Tribe.

They often borrow Heaven and Earth Power through various methods and rituals, perhaps mastering powerful forces.

But food is still needed.

In this regard, cultivators are certainly stronger than sorcerers, after all, the source of Immortal Techniques is the Immortal Gods.

And although witchcraft is now also a relatively perfected system, its upper limit is Duan Xiu.

Under the True Immortal Power level, sorcerers using exotic beasts and Heaven and Earth power as soldiers are no weaker than cultivators.

But in terms of longevity or improving one’s essence, sorcerers still fall short compared to cultivators.

However, sorcerers do have one advantage over cultivators: their entry is simpler.

"We cannot merely destroy; we must understand construction. A tribe needs to be established nearby to expand our Jiuli’s borders."

"Understood."

"We also need to wait for an opportunity. Given Gonggong’s injuries, recovery won’t be quick.

Once the opportunity arises, we can launch a decisive battle immediately."

"Understood."

After Can Gang left, Shen Fei pondered, "After this, Lie Mountain is already struggling."

Moreover, it seems that the Medicine Ancestor mentioned that Ma Shihuang has already begun to move.

Ma Shihuang is no longer in the Lie Mountain Tribe, saying he went out to find a rare herb.

But Ma Shihuang, as the Medicine Ancestor mentioned, actually went to the Youxiong Tribe to discuss terms for allegiance.

Lie Mountain is on the verge of disintegration.

The seeds he planted in Gonggong’s mind before will fully blossom when Ma Shihuang and others are likely to leave.

"The Lie Mountain Tribe was already a crumbling edifice..."

Shen Fei shook his head. Even disregarding its extraordinariness, historical records show the Lie Mountain Tribe as rotting timber.

Being forced back step by step by Jiuli, then by Xuanyuan, and finally absorbed as one among them.

Becoming part of the Yan and Huang Alliance would make Lie Mountain’s situation obvious.

And Shen Fei’s appearance just accelerated this process.

His intent was to swallow the tribal force of the Lie Mountain Tribe.

As for the cultivator forces, they were left for the Youxiong Tribe to enjoy.

The Jiuli Tribe can accommodate cultivators, but cannot suddenly accommodate so many of them.

After all, right now in Jiuli, witchcraft is the primary path, while its openness hasn’t increased yet.

An influx of too many cultivators would cause Jiuli’s path to deviate.

Hence why Shen Fei and Gao Ya planned to prompt Ma Shihuang and others to head to the Youxiong Tribe.

That’s it.

Now the Jiuli Tribe is also crafting its people’s confidence, path confidence.

Only by maintaining core stability can it absorb other paths without causing chaos in Jiuli.

No way around it.

The Jiuli’s system inherently diverges from the Great Wilderness Human Race’s system.

But with tribes led by Gonggong and Zhurong, it’s different.

With cultivator forces using Dao lineage as a focal point, systemic differences make them highly rebellious.

However, tribal forces still view Jiuli as a part of the Human Race.

According to bloodline theory, Jiuli still retains the qualifications to be a Common Lord.

Thus, tribal forces, even internally with systems as Immortal Technique Systems, use bloodline as a connection.

Even if rebellion occurs, it won’t be strong.

That’s why he had the Empress attempt to assimilate Gonggong, and if Chi Songzi could be grasped, he should be directly eliminated.

The difficulty of assimilating the latter is immense, almost impossible, given Chi Songzi is one of the vested interests in the Immortal Technique System.

If Jiuli became the Common Lord of the Immortal Technique System, those used to being leaders wouldn’t want to become subordinates of the witchcraft system.

Shen Fei was about to continue planning on how Jiuli should swiftly digest Lie Mountain’s steps.

Suddenly, a prompt flashed before his eyes.

[Triggered Merit Task: First Strike Youxiong]

[Task Requirement: Repel the Youxiong Tribe’s first attack]

[Task Reward: 4000 merit]

Shen Fei raised an eyebrow - a merit task triggered?

It means there is a high likelihood of soon encountering the Youxiong forces.

...

North of Jiuli.

At the borders of the Jiuli Tribe and the Youxiong Tribe.

Here is stationed an army several times larger than the one heading to the Lie Mountain Tribe.

After all, this is led by Chi You.

Inside the large tent.

Celestial Dao Demon Venerable looked at Wind God, who used wind power to listen back to intelligence, and raised an eyebrow, "Xuanyuan leading personally?"

"Yes, because there is a Human Immortal stationed there, I can only borrow wind power to hear some information about their movements."

"Based on comprehensive information, it is indeed Xuanyuan leading."

"And they’re coming aggressively..."

Celestial Dao Demon Venerable spoke, "Order to defend first and see how the Youxiong forces behave."

"Understood."

"The cannons should not be exposed for now, and carefully investigate if there’s anything special about the Youxiong forces.

Ensure the report!"

If it were just the historical inertia about the Youxiong Tribe, they wouldn’t be competitors previously.

But this is mythology, different, and there’s the intervention of professionals.

If Youxiong Tribe chose to advance on Jiuli, surely there’s something unique about them.

"Understood!"

Before long.

Wind God rushed back again, his face showing some change, "There are indeed some special aspects on the Youxiong side."

"In their forefront, it’s not people, but entities resembling enlarged versions of metal-made humans.

Very tall, nearly thirty meters!"

"Metal-built? Enlarged versions of humans?"

Celestial Dao Demon Venerable’s face showed some confusion. He knew changes were to happen in the Youxiong Tribe.

But now the priority is to understand what this change is.

Celestial Dao Demon Venerable stepped out of the tent, his forehead spiritual eye opening immediately towards Youxiong’s advancing direction, soon revealing a peculiar expression.

"Mechas?"

What met Celestial Dao Demon Venerable’s eyes were large puppets resembling giant robots in motion; Wind God didn’t know, but Celestial Dao Demon Venerable did.

How they resemble mechas.
