Naturally, Zhao Hai also knew that this wasn't the case. He discovered that these ice beasts didn't have any soul activity, they might just be puppets. Naturally, puppets didn't know fear, so they didn't retreat.
Up until now, Zhao had been using black magic the most, and the summoners of black mages had an inseparable relationship with the human soul.
Because of this, Zhao Hai was very sensitive to soul fluctuations. A lot of ice beasts had died, but Zhao Hai didn't feel any soul fluctuations. This made Zhao Hai certain that these ice beasts were puppets.
However, what made Zhao Hai feel strange was that these puppets didn't seem to be under the command of a person. Instead, they were made to act on their own. Because of this, these ice beasts didn't seem to have any form of attack. They were just acting on their instincts in a disorderly manner. This made Zhao Hai feel strange.
These ice beasts weren't weak. If there was a person commanding them, then their attack power would be increased by at least three times. In that case, the Diamond Apes wouldn't be able to stop them.
A hundred thousand ice beasts slowly flocked towards the mountain. However, they seemed to be targeting the Diamond Apes. They didn't damage the trees on the mountain. It seems like they only had one target, the Diamond Apes.
Although there were no problems with the Stone Giants, there were still some ice beasts attacking the mountain from other places. The battle between the Diamond Apes and the ice beasts had begun.
Zhao Hai actually had the ability to eliminate these ice beasts. However, he still wanted to see how strong the Diamond Apes were.
Before long, the Diamond Apes allowed Zhao Hai to see how strong they were. Suddenly, a yellow light appeared on the bodies of the Diamond Apes. This yellow light was like a golden armor covering their bodies. This made the Diamond Apes and their beasts look like golden-armored warriors. Even the wooden sticks in their hands were covered in a layer of gold.
At this time, the Ice Beasts had already reached the city walls. But what surprised Zhao Hai was that the Ice Beasts suddenly gathered together. Then a white light flashed. When the white light disappeared, a huge Ice Beast appeared below the city walls. This Ice Beast was even taller than the Stone Giant. They roared as they charged towards the city walls.
When they were a few meters away from the city wall, they jumped up. With their jumping ability and height, they were able to reach the city wall in an instant.
At this time, the two Diamond Apes, along with their giant apes, attacked at the same time. Two wooden clubs and four iron fists hit the ice beast's head, immediately shattering it.
But this wasn't the end, the ice beast's body suddenly split into many small beasts and rushed towards the Diamond Apes in all directions.
The Diamond Apes were already aware of this, so they didn't run away. All of the magic beasts were blocked and killed by the Diamond Apes.
Zhao Hai discovered that the Diamond Apes had a tacit understanding with each other. Even if the Ice Beasts managed to reach the city walls, they were completely useless.
Moreover, Zhao Hai didn't know what method the Diamond Apes were using, but they were able to perfectly integrate themselves with their beasts. They didn't even need to make any movements, their coordination was flawless. This ability was truly terrifying. Zhao Hai didn't know what the Diamond Apes were doing, but he didn't know what they were doing.
After seeing the Diamond Apes' battle, Zhao Hai didn't think too much about it. He immediately used his fire element magic, causing a sea of fire to appear below the city walls. The Ice Beasts seemed to be very afraid of the fire, they even retreated a little.
Upon seeing this situation, Zhao Hai couldn't help but nod. It seems like these Ice Beasts were really afraid of fire element magic. However, Zhao Hai couldn't use fire element magic on a large scale, otherwise, the trees on the mountain would be destroyed.
While the attention of the Diamond Apes was focused on the area, Zhao Hai immediately released a large number of undead from the forest. He had the undead eliminate the Ice Beasts.
Zhao Hai's undead could easily eliminate the Ice Beasts, but it would take some time. However, Zhao Hai didn't have that much time. He felt that the appearance of these Ice Beasts was too strange. In any case, the map of the Icefield south of the volcano had already been inputted into the Space. He didn't need to wait any longer, it was time to unravel the secrets of the Icefield.
Moreover, Zhao Hai could see that Tess and the others had already agreed to his conditions. Otherwise, Tess wouldn't be waiting for him on the city walls.
The undead that Zhao Hai released were eliminated in the forest before the Ice Beasts could even get close to the city walls. Because of this, the battle ended very quickly. After two hours, not a single shadow of the Ice Beasts could be seen.
Tess looked strangely at the city walls. At this time, there were no traces of the Ice Beasts. Moreover, Zhao Hai's Stone Giant was also withdrawn. Besides the traces of fire element magic, there was nothing else.
However, this was what Tess was puzzled about. He clearly remembered that they didn't kill many Ice Beasts, so why did the Ice Beasts completely disappear? This was too illogical.
Tess had been fighting with the Ice Beasts for his entire life, so he was very clear about the movements of the Ice Beasts. When the Ice Beasts attacked, there would be no less than a hundred thousand of them. In the past, it would take them a whole day to repel the Ice Beasts. Moreover, they would also need the support of the women and elders in the city. How come there were so few Ice Beasts today?
Zhao Hai turned his head to look at Tess, then he smiled faintly and said, "Patriarch Tess, there's no need to worry. There are no more Ice Beasts."
When Tess heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhao Hai. He immediately thought that the first one to discover the Ice Beasts was Zhao Hai. And now that Zhao Hai said this, it seems like the reason why the number of Ice Beasts decreased was because of Zhao Hai.
Tess sighed deeply, then he nodded to Zhao Hai. Then he turned his head to his tribesmen and said, "Alright, let's disperse!"
Although the Diamond Apes felt strange, when they heard Tess, they immediately dispersed. Many of them were thinking that this was the most relaxed fight they had had in many years.
Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Tess immediately arranged some people to guard the area as he led Zhao Hai towards his home. After the two sat down, Tess turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, I've already discussed this matter with the elders. The elders have the same opinion. Our Diamond Ape tribe is willing to follow Mister from today onwards!" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Mister, I've already discussed this matter with the elders.
When Zhao Hai heard this, he couldn't help but stare. One must know that following a Beastman was a very serious matter. This meant that the Diamond Apes would become a vassal of the Buda Clan from today onwards. One must know that Beastman vassals were different from Humans. Vassals of Humans had a lot of autonomy. As long as they listen to their master, they would be fine. But Beastman vassals weren't the same. Vassals of Beastman vassals were very respectful towards their master. Moreover, they didn't have a lot of autonomy. Whatever the master told them to do, they would do. Because of this, when Tess said that they would follow Zhao Hai forever, Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare. He didn't think that it would be like this.
Zhao Hai looked at Tess and said, "Patriarch Tess, you have to think about it. If you really become a vassal of the Buda Clan, then you wouldn't have any autonomy. You would have to listen to whatever I say."
Tess nodded and said, "Yes, I've thought about it. To tell you the truth, Mister, these 13 mountain fires have become more and more unstable. I don't know when they would erupt. When that time comes, we wouldn't even have a place to run. It would be impossible to cross the Northern Icefield and return to the Beastman Prairie. We don't have that kind of strength. Even if we return to the Prairie, what can we do? The Prairie isn't the same as it was 5000 years ago.
Zhao Hai nodded, he understood what Tess meant. Seeing Zhao Hai nod, Tess continued, "When you took me to Iron Mountain Fort, I already asked Ares about the situation there. You didn't lie, you were very good to the Beastmen. I believe that if we follow you, we wouldn't suffer any losses." Zhao Hai nodded, he understood what Tess meant.
Zhao Hai looked at Tess, then he smiled faintly and said, "Alright, it's good to hear the Patriarch's words. Patriarch, have your people prepare in a few days. Then I'll immediately send you back to Iron Mountain Fort."
Tess nodded, then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "If Mister is worried about our supplies, then there's no need for that. Our Diamond Ape tribe can endure hardships. It's almost summer in the continent, even if we don't have a place to live, it's fine."
From Tess' words, Zhao Hai could feel their eagerness to leave this place. He smiled faintly and said, "I ask the Patriarch to rest assured, it'll be ready in a few days. Even if you don't bring anything, you'll still have everything you need when you get there."
Zhao Hai didn't lie to Tess, Zhao Hai really did have a lot of supplies in his hands. Additionally, Wales said that he would give him 100 thousand slaves, so Zhao Hai had been preparing a place for them to live and use. In order for them to adapt to life in the Black Wasteland, Zhao Hai prepared things that were commonly used by the Beastmen. Even their living quarters were mainly tents.
Because Wales needed manpower, Zhao Hai didn't ask for the 100 thousand slaves. However, the things that were prepared for them were still there. Because of this, Zhao Hai wasn't lying when he said that he would be able to prepare Tess' daily necessities in a few days.
Looking at Zhao Hai's appearance, Tess also believed Zhao Hai's words. He had already heard from Ares that Zhao Hai had always been a man of his word. Because of this, Tess nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble Mister. But there's one more thing, is Mister still going to look for the Beast God's Spear?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I'll certainly look for it, but I'm not in a hurry. First, I'll send you to the Black Wasteland so that you won't be attacked by ice beasts from time to time. After sending you there, I'll have time to look for the Beast God's Spear. As long as I find it, I'll be able to return to the continent in an instant."
After Tess saw Zhao Hai's spatial ability, he completely believed in Zhao Hai's ability. So he didn't say anything else, he just looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Our clan still has a lot of magic beasts, how do you want to deal with them?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "That depends on how you want to deal with them. If you want to raise these magic beasts after reaching the Black Wasteland, then that's fine. But if you don't want to raise these magic beasts after reaching the Black Wasteland and want to raise argali or bulls, then that's also fine. I'll deal with these magic beasts and then exchange them for argali or bulls according to the price of these magic beasts. What do you think? "
Tess thought for a moment and said, "We're not familiar with argali and bulls, so we don't know if we can raise them. However, we're very familiar with Fire Rabbits. Therefore, we want to raise Fire Rabbits. Mister, can you do that?"
If you want to raise argali, you can exchange their wool, milk, mutton, and skin for money. But since you don't have any experience in raising argali, I can give you some argali and bulls. You can try raising them first, and if you don't want to raise fire rabbits anymore, then you can come find me. "Zhao smiled." That's not a problem. "Zhao smiled." But if you don't want to raise fire rabbits anymore, then you can come find me. "
Tess looked at Zhao Hai with gratitude and said, "Mister, you're really a good person. Our Diamond Ape tribe doesn't have any relationship with you, but you're actually willing to help us. I'm very grateful to Mister."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "There's no need for the Patriarch to say that. Your Diamond Ape tribe joining our Buda Clan has greatly increased the clan's strength. I still have to thank you for that."
Tess didn't say anything, he knew that Zhao Hai wasn't telling the truth. Zhao Hai had already told Tess about the Buda Clan's status in the continent as well as their strength. With the Buda Clan's current strength, the Diamond Ape tribe wouldn't be able to increase their strength by much.
This was also why Tess was grateful to Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai had obviously helped them a lot, but he still played it down. This made Tess feel moved.
Zhao Hai's words made Tess feel that he didn't follow the wrong person. This made his determination even more firm. Zhao Hai looked at Tess and didn't say anything. Just as Tess thought, with the Buda Clan's current strength, there was no difference whether Tess and the others joined or not.
When it comes to fighting strength, Zhao Hai's 9th ranks were enough to flatten the entire continent. And when it comes to herding, with the Space, herding wasn't a problem. The reason why Zhao Hai helped the Diamond Apes was mainly out of sympathy and admiration.
Zhao Hai sympathized with the Diamond Apes' situation. He also admired the Diamond Apes' persistence. After so many years, they still haven't given up on finding the Beast God's Spear.
