The noises coming from outside the cave were noisy, and the echoes in the cave were mixed and indistinct. Allen vaguely heard a few words, which seemed to be "holy lake" and "holy lord". These barbarians did not use the common language of Agares, but Allen could still understand some of the pronunciations. In addition, they mostly used short sentences made up of a few words. With a little thought, it was not difficult to understand what they were saying.
Allen guessed that the holy lake was the lake in the cave, but what was a holy lord? It sounded like some kind of god that was worshipped. Of course, in the eyes of the barbarians, gods were some powerful beings. If a supreme like Frius showed one or two of his skills here, he would probably be worshipped as a god.
However, the Black Emperor probably did not have the leisure to do so.
Looking out of the cave, the barbarians on both sides were fighting on a low rocky slope. The ones outside wanted to fight in, while the ones in the cave desperately fought back. The number of people on both sides was about the same, and the average combat strength was not too different, so the battle was in a stalemate.
On the side of the cave, a Baltic with colorful drawings walked forward. He held a wooden staff in his hand, and at the end of the staff was a skull. There was an irregular blue crystal embedded in the forehead of the skull. There was a flame rising from the blue crystal, and it did not look simple. This Baltic was a little old, and his skin was wrinkled. Because his back was facing Allen, Allen could not see what he looked like. When he walked over, the warriors next to him retreated to the sides. It was obvious that his status in the tribe was not low.
He raised his wooden staff, and the crystal in the skull shot out a blue light. Allen thought it was some kind of killing move, but the light did not have any killing power. It fell on the stone slope, covering both friend and foe. Allen's sharp perception immediately sensed that the temperature of the space over there had dropped significantly, creating a chill.
The old Baltic raised his staff and called out a few words, which probably meant "stop." It was unknown whether the cold light calmed the people on both sides, or if the old Baltic had some status on both sides. The Baltics on the stone slope gradually stopped, but they still split into two sides. Swords and spears faced each other, clearly divided.
At this moment, a burly man walked out from the group of foreign barbarians. He looked no different from the other barbarians except for the beast tooth necklace around his neck. He pushed aside the two barbarians who were blocking his way and shouted at the old Baltic, "Hulumba, the sacred lake, ours!"
With a roar, he raised his spear with all his might. This action won him the cheers of the Balts.
The old man called Hulunba said solemnly, "Sons of Barda the Stone Axe, you should leave the Holy Land and never come back!"
"Our ancestors' souls rest in the sacred lake. We worship the Sacred Lord. This is ours."
The barbarians in the cave all shouted loudly. They shouted so anxiously and quickly that Ellen could not hear them clearly. But from their tone, they were probably cursing the so-called son of Barda.
Looking at the situation, Allen could roughly guess what was going on.
The son of Ba Da and his people should have been from this cave tribe before. For some reason, they had left the tribe, but now they were returning. As a result, the cave tribe was naturally dissatisfied. It was not without reason that the old man refused to let them return.
At this moment, Hulunba raised his hand, and the barbarians in the cave finally stopped. The old man said sternly to the son of Barda, "If you betray the Sacred Lord, the Sacred Lord will not let you return. Leave this place!"
The son of Barda roared, "No, one of us is sick. We need the water of the sacred lake!"
The two sides were in a stalemate.
At this moment, the son of Barda raised his hand and shouted, "The holy water must be obtained. Don't try to stop me. Bring them over."
Hulunba's voice was clearly nervous. "What are you doing?"
The son of Barda did not answer him. At this moment, the roar of a wild beast could be heard from afar, and the mountain wall reflected the light of the fire. Allen exclaimed in surprise. He could clearly sense the appearance of fire-type Origin Energy from that side.
This cave was deep in the mountain, and it was adjacent to an earthen lake. The cave was clearly rather humid. As soon as the fire-type Origin Energy aura appeared in the distance, it became especially obvious in such an environment.
When Hulunba heard the roar and saw the flames, he shouted in exasperation, "Madman, how can you bring them here?"
Now, even Allen was somewhat curious about what "they" were.
At this moment, the crowd on the stone slope was somewhat chaotic. Whether it was the people of the cave tribe or the clansmen of the son of Barda, they were all squeezing to the periphery, as if they were trying to avoid something terrifying. When a dozen or so exceptionally strong barbarians appeared on the stone slope dragging a few wooden cages, the cages suddenly lit up with flames. A black object in one of the cages slammed into the cage, causing the wooden cage to immediately fall apart. The thing rolled down the stone slope to the ground. Some of the cave barbarians nearby cried out in alarm and dispersed, allowing Allen to see its appearance clearly.
This thing looked a bit like a cheetah, but it had a row of fiery red spikes from its neck to its tail. Its body was covered in dark red stripes, and its four claws and tail were burning with dark red flames. It shook its head and spat out a mouthful of flames from its mouth. The flames burned on the ground, and it raised its claws and patted them as if it was an interesting game.
The son of Barda roared, "Open the cages!"
The barbarians who had pulled up the wooden cages opened four or five of them. One of the cages was only half opened when a black shadow scuttled out and pounced on the barbarian, tearing and biting at him. Finally, it spat out a mouthful of fire, and the barbarian's head was charred.
The exotic beasts that came out of the cages all had different appearances. Some were as thin as a leopard, some as fat as a pig, and some as mighty as a lion. But without exception, they all had four claws on fire, red stripes on their bodies, and could swallow flames.
This was the norm on Agares. Apart from the Barbarian women, there were no other lifeforms on this planet. From the Barbarians to the ferocious beasts, there were no creatures that looked the same.
Huluba took a deep breath and screamed, "Devouring fire, you actually brought devouring fire! Son of Barda, they are the enemies of the Holy Lord. You will anger the Holy Lord! "
The son of Barda laughed loudly. "We want holy water. We'll kill anyone who stops us. Huluba, kill! Holy Lord, kill! "
Clearly, the son of Barda's language skills were far inferior to that of the old Barbarian. He could only speak in short sentences, but his words were murderous.
At this moment, the exotic beasts known as devouring fire did not care about anything else. They pounced on anyone they saw, even the barbarians who had come to fight for the holy water on the stone slope. However, when the son of Barda and his tribesmen quickly poured some green liquid on their bodies, the two devouring fire beasts that were pouncing on them immediately turned around and ran, pouncing on the cave tribe at the bottom of the stone slope.
The son of Barda raised his spear and roared. He jumped down from the stone slope, his spear erupting with flames as he pierced through two cave barbarians. Seeing their leader's bravery, the barbarians behind him also roared and jumped down the stone slope.
With the devouring fire beasts leading the way, the scales of victory began to tilt.
Seeing the cave tribe's barbarians retreat, the old man named Huluba suddenly screamed, "Holy Lake!"
Allen subconsciously looked at the lake and saw a blue glow at the bottom of the lake. The lake water was dropping at a visible rate, and a huge shadow could be seen rising from the lake. A moment later, pillars of water exploded from the surface of the lake, and a brilliant blue light rose from the lake. The roar of some kind of beast came from the blue light.
The cave was shaken by the roar, and even a few cracks appeared in the passageway where Allen was hiding. The barbarians in the cave were shaken to the ground, and only a few of them could still stand. On the other hand, the devouring fire beasts stood firm. They all roared threateningly at the blue light at the mouth of the lake, then abandoned the cave barbarians and rushed in the direction of the lake.
Huluba knelt in the direction of the lake and raised his hand to shout, "Holy Lord!" The cave barbarians did not care about the powerful enemy. They all turned around and knelt in the direction of the lake, shouting in unison with the old man. The son of Barda and the people he had brought with him were also stunned on the spot, forgetting to kill the enemy beside them.
A devouring fire beast pounced into the sky above the lake, its head and tail biting each other. Flames spewed out from its body like a wheel of fire as it smashed into the blue light. A fireball immediately exploded in the blue light. The light trembled, and several blue ribbons of light extended out, randomly sweeping across the shore or the ceiling of the cave. Cracks as thick as arms immediately appeared wherever the light swept. Large amounts of sand and stones poured down from the cracks, and the entire cave shook.
The devouring fire beast flew out of the blue light and fell to the ground before barely getting up. Its entire body was bleeding, and one eye was blind, but it still roared at the lake.
The blue light was fading, and Allen could see a huge figure inside. When the light faded, a huge creature appeared in the lake. It was like putting a Tyrannosaurus rex in a giant lobster, or rather, a giant dragon with a Tyrannosaurus rex's head. In short, this creature was completely beyond Allen's imagination.
It turned out that the so-called Holy Lord was a mutated creature that combined a Tyrannosaurus rex's head with a lobster's body. Holy Lord's head and lobster-like body were covered in blue crystal clusters of various sizes. In the middle of his chest, there was a dark blue crystal the size of a round table. Silver patterns that looked like tree branches could be seen in the crystal. The patterns would glow intermittently, and at this time, the cracks in the Holy Lord's outer shell would spray out a blurry light.
Only the upper half of the Holy Lord's body was above the lake, and the lower half was hidden in the lake. Judging from the long shadow that extended into the depths of the lake, this Xenomorph belonged to the species with a large body, like some kind of flat insect. Its powerful pincers were covered in irregular spikes. Not to mention being caught, even being scratched was definitely not a pleasant experience.
