If they appeared in the Raging Flame Plane, they would definitely be able to compete with the Golden Beastmen and shake the Golden Beastmen's ruling position.
But on the way, Lin Yun had already calculated that the total number of people in this tribe might only be around twenty thousand.
This number was too low. The weakest of the eight Beastman Tribes in the Raging Flame Plane had over a hundred thousand people.
The power of the higher-ups could compare to the Golden Beastmen, but their numbers were too few. If they appeared in the Raging Flame Plane, they would at most shake the Golden Beastmen's ruling position, but they wouldn't be able to seize it.
But even if this tribe only had twenty thousand people, sweeping through the twenty-nine humans and the puppet would still be easy.
Everyone was invited to the square, and the fragrance of roasted meat drifted in the air. The tall Great Sheikh walked over with large strides, laughing heartily before even reaching them.
"These are the heroes that saved our tribe's brave warriors? Your bravery has already obtained our tribe's friendship. We have already organized a bonfire banquet for you to welcome you! "
The Great Sheikh's voice was like thunder. It was terrifyingly loud, and his voice didn't need to be spread by magic to travel very far.
Following the Great Sheikh's words, the Beastmen in the square raised their hands and cheered. There were also groups of strong Beastman women carrying jugs of wine that were half the size of a person going back and forth in the square.
Everyone was a mage, so when they saw those jugs of wine that were big enough for them to bathe in, their faces turned a bit green, but they had no way to refuse.
The bonfire banquet was a tradition of the Beastmen. It would only be held to welcome distinguished guests or some important celebration. The appearance of the tribe's three Heaven Rank powerhouses was the highest standard welcoming ceremony. If they refused, it would be the same as slapping these Beastmen's faces, and they might even become enemies.
The group was pulled to sit around the bonfire, and Didala was pulled to the side of the Great Sheikh. He looked at the roasted meat that was thicker than his waist, and he could even see the traces of blood dripping from the meat. Didala's complexion turned a bit green.
A loud bang echoed as a huge jug of wine that was at least 1.5 meters tall was placed in front of Didala. The Great Sheikh burst into loud laughter as he held the roasted meat that was at least twenty kilograms in one hand and started tearing at it. Blood dripped down from the roasted meat. The Great Sheikh only took a few seconds to eat more than half of the roasted meat. He then picked up the huge jug of wine in front of him and gulped down half of it in one breath.
"Our friend, don't be polite. As a friend of our tribe, sharing good wine and roasted meat is something we should do."
The group of mages had green complexions. In front of each of them was a meter-tall jug of wine that contained at least a few dozen kilograms of wine. There was also the roasted meat that was still dripping with blood. This made the group sweat even more. Even the puppet was treated as a distinguished guest and had a pile of roasted meat and wine in front of it.
Lin Yun was sitting next to Didala, cold sweat slowly dripping down his forehead. He stealthily glanced at the 1.5-meter-tall jug of wine in front of Didala, as well as the roasted meat that weighed at least fifteen kilograms, with a hint of rejoice in his eyes.
Fortunately, Didala had been at the forefront these past few days.
Lin Yun calmly used a knife to cut a piece of roasted meat before putting the rest in Xiuban's hands and fiercely glaring at him.
Xiuban was beaming with joy. His body was covered in blood and grease, and the two jugs of wine that weighed a few dozen kilograms had all been stuffed into his stomach.
On the side, Didala was a bit pale as he ate a bit of roasted meat and drank a bit of spicy wine before promptly changing the topic.
"Sir Great Sheikh, you have lived here for so long, do you know what's going on with the Undead outside?"
Didala started asking about the Undead army, and the group pricked up their ears to listen. The main reason they came to this tribe was to ask about the Undead army. The group had almost been surrounded to death, so how could they not know?
These Beastmen looked like they had lived here for a very long time. They definitely had a very good understanding of the Undead, and they might even know many secrets.
But when the Great Sheikh heard Didala's question, he froze, seemingly at a loss.
"Undead? What Undead? Did you meet the Undead? Damn, could it be that a Necromancer appeared? "
Didala frowned, feeling that the Great Sheikh was being too perfunctory.
"It wasn't a Necromancer, it was a large group of Undead, like a tide. We were chased into that canyon by that Undead army."
The Great Sheikh shook his head, a trace of doubt still visible on his face.
"Undead army? Impossible, we have lived here for who knows how many years, but we have never heard of the existence of the Undead, let alone an Undead army … "
Didala didn't understand why the Great Sheikh would lie, and why it was such an easy lie to see through. They had lived here for countless years, so how could they have never seen the Undead?
"There was indeed an Undead army, several hundred thousand in total, and they were all Undead Beastmen. Not only were there Beastman Skeleton Soldiers, but there were also Undead Wolf Riders, Skeletal Kodos, Skeletal Wyverns …"
Didala didn't have time to finish his words before the Great Sheikh interrupted Didala, looking at Didala with an unfriendly expression.
"My friend, you saved our tribe's warriors and obtained our tribe's friendship. We welcome your arrival and even entertain you with good wine and roasted meat, but how could you blaspheme us Beastmen?
"We Beastmen can't become filthy things like the Undead. Under the light of the great Beast God, the souls of all dead Beastmen only have two destinations. One is to become the guardian Ancestor Soul of the tribe, and the other is to return to the embrace of the earth. It's absolutely impossible for us to become Undead, let alone an Undead army …"
The Great Sheikh put down the roasted meat in his hand, as if he wouldn't compromise on such a matter of principle.
Didala's expression became very unsightly, insisting that he had encountered an Undead Beastman army.
"Sir Great Sheikh, why would we deceive you? This isn't blasphemy against your clansmen, it's just …"
As the leader of the Burning Tower, Didala could be considered the leader of this team, so how could he allow others to doubt him?
But as Didala spoke, the Great Sheikh's expression sank.
Lin Yun frowned, 'That Didala doesn't understand what's going on. Talking about Undead Beastmen in front of the Beastmen, isn't this just asking for trouble? Moreover, this Great Sheikh doesn't seem to be lying.'
"Sir Great Sheikh, what kind of meat did you use for this roasted meat? And this wine is incomparably spicy. It must have been very difficult to brew, right? "
Lin Yun suddenly interrupted Didala's question and hurriedly changed the topic. If he let Didala keep asking, things would definitely become unpleasant.
Didala frowned and turned to glance at Lin Yun, only to discover that Lin Yun was making a gesture. Didala looked at the surrounding people. Whether they were Beastmen or humans, the atmosphere was somewhat stiff. Although he was unwilling, Didala didn't continue talking about the Undead.
The Great Sheikh proudly smiled when he heard Lin Yun's question.
"This meat is from the Triangular Bull we raised, it tastes pretty good, it's chewy and chewy. And this wine, haha, I personally improved it and brewed it. This is wine for men, it's strong …"
The Great Sheikh beamed with joy as he boasted. It was as if brewing this kind of spicy wine gave him a greater sense of accomplishment than advancing to the Heaven Rank or getting rid of a powerful enemy.
In an instant, the matter of the Undead Beastmen was forgotten, and the atmosphere returned to normal.
The bonfire banquet lasted for four hours. The Beastmen were all singing and dancing, and the atmosphere was very good. There were even some Beastmen holding totems and fighting in the square to liven things up.
The group didn't get the answer they wanted and were somewhat absent-minded. Lin Yun was also confused.
He observed the buildings of this Beastman Tribe and noticed that they all had traces of the passage of time. Many of the buildings had existed for at least a millennium, especially the tall fence at the outermost part of the tribe. It had existed for at least two to three millennia.
These Beastmen didn't even know about Planar Paths and the concept of planes. Moreover, they had obtained bits and pieces of information on the way back. It was certain that these Beastmen had lived here for several millennia.
How could they not have seen the Undead Beastman Army after such a long time? They didn't even know about the existence of the Undead.
But after observing for a long time, Lin Yun couldn't see that the Great Sheikh was lying. He was at a loss when he heard about the Undead, and he was unhappy when he heard about the Undead Beastmen. There wasn't a single flaw. It was as if he really didn't know about the Undead Beastman Army.
There was definitely something wrong with this, something suspicious.
Lin Yun 'mind was filled with doubts, while Didala was a bit confused. He couldn't understand.
After the banquet ended, everyone returned to their rooms to rest. Everyone was an honored guest of these Beastmen, so they were naturally arranged to rest in that hundred-meter-tall building.
After finishing his routine meditation, Lin Yun took out the Book of Mantras and prepared to continue studying the incantations within when he suddenly had an ominous feeling.
He promptly walked to the window and looked outside, and a shocking scene appeared in front of him.
They lived on the upper floors of this building. There were less than twenty floors in total, and they lived on the fifteenth floor. From that height, they could directly see the scenery outside the tribe.
The tribe was located on the edge of the mountain range and was very close to the boundless prairie outside the mountain range. They could clearly see everything on the prairie from there.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, Lin Yun's pupils suddenly shrank. On the prairie outside the tribe, Undead Beastmen covered the earth like a tide, silently walking on the ground.
Among the ant-like Undead Army, there were also tall Skeletal Kodos mixed in. There was also a large group of Skeletal Wyverns flying in the sky.
There were even many Undead entering the range of the mountain range, unconsciously walking in the mountain range before slowly approaching the tribe.
A large group of undead walked back and forth, looking like a large group of patrolling soldiers, tirelessly investigating every corner.
Seeing the appearance of this Undead Army, Lin Yun was alarmed. He wanted to wake the others up, but when he raised his head and looked to both sides, he saw that the windows on the side were open, and a group of people were standing by the windows, looking at the Undead Army outside.
