The warriors of the various tribes who were engaged in battle became unusually excited when they heard the grey-robed beastmen's chant. Many of the warriors even started singing the battle songs of their tribes in the midst of battle.
Compared to the strange chant, the beastmen's battle songs were more imposing. They reverberated in the sky above the battlefield and did not disperse for a long time. However, Han Li still felt that the not-so-loud chant was able to capture his mind, and he could not help but feel as if the blood in his body was boiling.
Han Li pulled himself together and broke free from that strange emotion. When he looked at the beastmen on the battlefield again, he discovered that the area where the violent bears were fighting was currently filled with a layer of dark red mist.
Crimson light lit up on the backs of all of the Violent Bear Tribe warriors, following which crimson projections that resembled the heads of ferocious beasts emerged. After baring their fangs, the projections disappeared into their bodies in a flash.
Immediately thereafter, the eyes of the Violent Bear Tribe warriors suddenly turned a crimson color, and their bodies swelled to several times their original size. Sharp teeth protruded from the corners of their mouths, and there was even saliva flowing from their mouths.
Violent and fervent roars came from their mouths, and their voices shook thousands of miles!
At that moment, almost all the violent bears' auras became bloodthirsty and violent. They charged towards the insects in a manner that was akin to a beast's.
On the other side, a strange silhouette appeared outside the one-horned race's body. It also looked like some sort of beast, but it was different from the violent bears. It had a single horn that glowed with a green light.
After these phantoms entered their clansmen's bodies, none of the one-horned clansmen grew taller, nor did their eyes turn red like those of the Violent Bear Clan. However, the bones at their shoulders and elbows underwent changes. White bones that were as sharp as blades grew and protruded from their bodies.
At the same time, eight slender bones protruded out of their backs. They looked like eight spider legs, and every single one of them was like a well-tempered steel spear. They shone with a snow-white cold light and were extremely sharp.
Apart from these two major tribes, all of the other beast tribes had also become more powerful.
"Is this the beast race's Bloodlust Art?" Han Li asked, puzzled.
That's quite appropriate, but we don't call it that.
This is our Totem Sacrifice Art. We use the high priests of each tribe to sacrifice their own essence and blood to communicate with the true spirits worshiped by each tribe, thereby obtaining a part of the true spirits' power and protection. "Noi Fan was slightly startled, but then he smiled and shook his head as he explained.
Hearing this, Han Li finally understood that the grey-robed people scattered among the tribes were the high priests of each tribe, and the silhouettes that appeared on each tribe's bodies were the totem marks of the true spirits that they worshiped.
"Since all of the races are able to communicate with the true spirits that they worship, why don't we invite their true bodies over? With the assistance of so many true spirits, wouldn't it be much easier to deal with the insect race?" Han Li was still rather perplexed.
"Senior Li, you may not know this, but even though the Beast Race and the Eight Great Sacred Clans all worship their own True Spirits, this is not a true contractual relationship.
"Beastmen in Beast in, in, in, in, and, in, in, in, in, Beastmen, in in, Beastmen, in, Beasts, in, Beastmen, in, which, in, in, in, in, in, in, in in, in, their own., in.
"However, the beast race has always been extremely devout to the true spirits, so most of the time, the true spirits will help us.
It's just that it's rare to see them descend to their true bodies. "Noi Fan shook his head and said.
"Are they still unwilling to descend to a life and death situation like today?" Han Li continued to ask.
"There are many limitations when a truesoul can descend to its true body after receiving the Art of Sacrifice, especially when it is not in the territory of a truesoul. Even the effects of the blessing will be weakened, let alone descend to its true body. Many tribes here are quite far away from their territory, and a truesoul usually won't leave its territory so easily," Noivan said.
Han Li nodded thoughtfully when he heard this. In his heart, he felt that the Beastmen's dependence on the true spirits was somewhat similar to the Earth Immortals of the Black Wind Sea Area, except that they lacked the blood connection, so the relationship between the two was not as close.
It seemed that the Ancestor Gods and Earth Immortals, which were not commonly seen in the Northern Frost Celestial Realm, existed in a similar way in the Wildlands, and they seemed to be quite common.
At this moment, one of the three one-eyed giants, who was slaughtering the insectoids far away, suddenly lost his balance and fell forward.
"It's him …" Han Li fixed his eyes on it and couldn't help but cry out.
The ground beneath the one-eyed giant suddenly collapsed, and a sand beast that was much larger than the one-eyed giant suddenly rose from the ground like a dragon coming out of the sea. It opened its bloody mouth with circles of huge sharp teeth and bit at the fallen one-eyed giant.
The aura on its body was extremely powerful. It was the giant sand beast whose strength was almost at the level of Primordial Unity that attacked the ferry of Elemental Desolation City.
This scene happened too suddenly. The one-eyed giant fell like a mountain, and his head seemed to be sent into the mouth of the giant sand beast.
"Crack!" Blood splattered everywhere!
As soon as the giant sand beast opened its mouth, it bit off the entire head of the one-eyed giant.
The headless giant's neck was splattered with blood like rain. Although its body was crooked, it still held the mace in one hand and smashed it fiercely at the sand beast.
"Boom!" A loud sound rang out!
The body of the sand beast sank back into the ground under this powerful and heavy blow. The one-eyed giant that had lost its head swayed, and finally fell to the ground with a bang. Its mountain-like body crushed thousands of insectoid giant ants that had not escaped in time into powder.
Accompanied by a rustling sound, the soil layer on the ground shook incessantly, and countless small sand beasts surged out of the ground, like a layer of surging yellow sand, and drowned the remains of the one-eyed giant.
After a few breaths, all the small sand beasts disappeared, and there was nothing on the ground except for the strong smell of blood.
When the other two one-eyed giants saw this, the mace in their hands crushed a group of human-faced scorpions into pieces, and they began to turn around and retreat in the direction of the Orcs.
However, at this moment, a dark green, short figure less than six feet tall suddenly appeared behind the army of insectoids.
Upon closer inspection, Han Li discovered that even though this being bore a resemblance to a human, its face was extremely squarish, giving it an extremely peculiar appearance. Its two eyes were situated horizontally on its forehead, and they were completely inky-black with no sclera at all.
On top of its head, there were two slender antennae, and it looked like a big grasshopper.
A strange cry was heard from its mouth, and immediately, there was the sound of insects flapping their wings from behind the army of insectoids. Then, a dark green cloud rose from the ground and flew toward the Orcs.
"Oh no, it's the Green Locust Tribe!
How can there be so many of them? "Noivan saw this and cried out in surprise.
Are these flying locusts difficult to deal with? "Han Li's gaze swept across the dark green cloud and asked.
"The Green Locust Tribe devours everything, and there is nothing they cannot swallow. Wherever they go, all living things are annihilated. Therefore, even among the insectoids, they are one of the tribes that are ostracized by the other tribes.
They live in the swamps all year round, and their numbers are small. I didn't expect them to have multiplied into such a large group, "Noivan said with a frown.
Before she finished speaking, the dark green cloud had already caught up to the remaining two one-eyed giants.
The one-eyed giants obviously knew how powerful these fellows were, so they did not get entangled with them. Instead, they ran away with large strides.
Although the Green Locust Tribe had a large number of insects, they could not stop the one-eyed giants' charge. They surrounded the one-eyed giants again and again, and were knocked away again and again.
However, Han Li could clearly see that the speed at which the two one-eyed giants charged out of the encirclement was getting slower and slower. In about seven or eight more times, they would be completely surrounded by the Green Locust Tribe, unable to escape.
As the one-eyed giants got closer and closer to the Beastmen, the Beastmen's reinforcements also caught up.
High up in the sky, gigantic black-winged lizards swooped down. After circling in the air for a while, they opened their mouths wide and spouted out waves of flames and thick smoke. In an instant, a large number of Green Locust Clansmen were engulfed by the flames.
The dark green cloud suddenly burst into flames, emitting bursts of "Tiny Poof" sounds.
Following that, one by one, the Green Locust Tribe members fell from the sky like a meteor shower.
The rest of the Green Locust Tribe members dived downwards, charging into the rest of the Beastmen's army.
These ordinary Beastmen obviously did not have the physique of the one-eyed giants. After being swept by the one-eyed giants, they immediately turned into tens of thousands of white skeletons. Some of them even maintained their original posture.
The two one-eyed giants finally broke free from the encirclement of the Green Locust Tribe. Their exposed bodies were already riddled with wounds, full of tiny bite marks. It was a horrifying sight.
Their footsteps were heavy as they walked back in the direction of the Dark Star Canyon, as if they wanted to temporarily escape from the battle.
But no one noticed that over a hundred scarlet beetles the size of rice grains had tails that were glowing like fireflies. They flew high and low and plunged into the wounds of the two One-eyed Giants. They wiggled a few times and burrowed into the wounds of the two One-eyed Giants.
The two one-eyed giants seemed to have sensed something. They stopped at the same time and looked at the place where the beetles had burrowed into.
They saw that the wounds had bulged out one after another like a living sarcoma. The bulges grew bigger and bigger. In a few breaths, they had swelled to the size of a one-eyed giant's head.
A hint of horror flashed through the eyes of the two Cyclopes upon seeing this, but before they had a chance to do anything, the lumps of crimson flesh exploded amid a flash of red light.
