As for the Grand Shaman, he was pale, and the lightning injuries on his body were becoming more and more serious. Lightning was continuously emitting from his body, as if it had a fatal attraction to the lightning falling from the sky, attracting them to crazily fall down.
The Great Prophet standing in the back was also somewhat pale, and the frequency at which he was beating the Beaumont War Drum had greatly decreased.
When the Great Sheikh went all out and cut off that Purple-Eyed Demon Overlord's arms, the two Purple-Eyed Demon Overlords were finally afraid and unhesitantly used the Demonic Moon Projection to escape.
The remaining Horned Demon Overlord didn't dare to keep fighting and unhesitantly gave up on those Lesser Demon Overlords and escaped into the black smoke of the canyon, disappearing without a trace.
The freed Great Sheikh and the Grand Shaman personally made a move and quickly beheaded the escaping Lesser Demon Overlords.
The battle was thoroughly over, but both sides had suffered. Of the four Demon Overlords, one had died, three had been seriously injured, and the Lesser Demon Overlords had all been beheaded.
As for the Beastmen, the Great Sheikh's injuries weren't light, but they weren't too big of a problem. The Grand Shaman had attracted too much lightning and could spit out lightning when he opened his mouth. At this time, Lin Yun also understood how the Grand Shaman's injuries had come about.
As for the Great Prophet, who hadn't directly participated in the battle, he had consumed the most energy. His bright eyes had become somewhat turbid. Whether it was the war song or the beating of the Beaumont War Drum, they both consumed soul power, and he was the one who had consumed the most energy.
Those thousand Beastmen were all Level 30 or above, but only six hundred came back alive. It could be said that the losses were disastrous.
Lin Yun remained silent as he looked at the returning Beastmen. There hadn't been such a desperate battle in the Raging Flame Plane. These Beastmen had been determined to tear their opponents to shreds even if they had to lose their lives. The battle hadn't been long, but the losses were disastrous.
In the Raging Flame Plane, the number of Level 30 or above powerhouses lost in a month's war with the Raging Flame Beastmen wouldn't be this high. The number of Level 35 or above powerhouses that died in three months couldn't compare to the number that died here in an hour.
Seeing the Great Sheikh return to the tribe, Lin Yun was puzzled and had Xiuban send some Health Potions.
These blood-soaked warriors who fought bravely and disregarded life and death had already won everyone's respect.
Not only Lin Yun, but the others also gave some medicine to treat their injuries.
"This is a Health Potion. After drinking it, it can heal your injuries."
Lin Yun saw that the Great Sheikh seemed a little confused and explained.
Immediately, the Great Tribal Chief revealed a trace of a smile. He stuffed the bottle into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it along with the bottle.
"It's really amazing. I can already feel that my injuries are starting to recover. It's just that the taste isn't that great. It's a bit hard …"
Lin Yun's eyelids twitched, but he didn't explain that the bottle didn't need to be eaten. These Beastmen's physiques were terrifyingly strong. They might even be able to digest a piece of iron.
"Great Sheikh, what's going on? You … "
Lin Yun pointed in the direction of the canyon with a puzzled expression. It wasn't just Lin Yun, everyone was wondering what was going on with those Demon Overlords.
The Great Sheikh fiercely turned to look in the direction of the canyon.
"These filthy and evil Demons will appear every once in a while. If we don't ruthlessly get rid of these damned guys, they will pose a threat to the tribe. Moreover, they will keep summoning other Demons, and their numbers will keep increasing." Today was pretty good, we got rid of an Overlord.
"Guarding our homeland is the responsibility of every Beastman. We have to fight to the death with those filthy and evil Demons!"
Lin Yun looked pensive, but he didn't keep asking. He only looked at the corpses of the Beastmen that had been collected and his heart was suddenly moved.
Then, the injured Beastmen went back to heal. With the potions given by the humans, their recovery speed would be several times faster. Especially the Health Potions given by Lin Yun, the effects were even better.
There was originally a thirty-centimeter-long piece of flesh on the Great Sheikh's back, and his bones could faintly be seen. But after taking the Health Potion, the blood no longer flowed out and the flesh slowly grew back. With the Great Sheikh's constitution, he would be able to recover in less than a day.
The tribe became busy, and the corpses of the fallen Beastmen were also sent to the cemetery in the mountain behind the tribe.
At night, Lin Yun quietly left his room and buffed himself with Invisibility, Mana Convergence, Wind Soaring, and Silence.
When he flew out the window, not only was there no mana fluctuation, but there was also no sound. The flow of air was like a breeze. Unless a Heaven Rank powerhouse was paying attention, it would be very difficult to discover him.
After sneaking into the back mountain, Lin Yun quickly found the location of the cemetery. During the day, Lin Yun sent Xiuban to help. As a Beastman, Xiuban was easily accepted by the tribe. The cemetery was a crucial location, so it was very easy for Xiuban to get his hands on it.
The cemetery was protected by the power of the Beastmen's ancestors. Ordinary Beastmen couldn't enter, they could only enter the cemetery every time they buried their clansmen.
But this couldn't stop Lin Yun. He took out the Book of Death and spat out three runes. In an instant, a two-meter-tall hole silently appeared in the layer of transparent defense covering the cemetery.
After entering the cemetery, Lin Yun frowned.
As far as the eye could see, the cemetery stretched on for at least two to three kilometers. The hillside was densely packed with burial mounds. In front of each burial mound was a simple tombstone. Most of them only had a name on them. Only a few of them had biographical information.
But the strange thing was that this strange cemetery far exceeded the standards of the tribe. Moreover, there was no cold aura within the cemetery, nor was there any aura of death.
If he closed his eyes, he would sense a desolate mountain. Although there was no aura of life, there was no aura of death.
Even if Beastmen didn't become Undead, their corpses would naturally emit an aura of death. This was something all lifeforms couldn't avoid.
Beastmen's souls would directly return to the earth, but even if their corpses didn't become Undead, they would slowly decay before thoroughly merging with the earth.
But in this huge cemetery, there was no aura of death. Lin Yun had the Undead Predator ability and was naturally very sensitive to the aura of death, but he couldn't feel any aura of death at this moment.
He released two aura probing spells, but they also didn't give him any feedback.
He followed the path of the cemetery and found a new cemetery. From the graves and the soil, it could be seen that they had been buried today, and the number was about the same as the number of Beastmen that had fallen during the day.
After walking to the front of this cemetery, Lin Yun's gaze became profound. He opened his mouth and spat out a rune. A ripple appeared in the air and slowly entered these graves.
After a few seconds, the results of the probing came back, and Lin Yun's expression changed, showing that he had expected it.
These tombs were all empty!
Moreover, looking at the things inside the graves, there were a lot of things buried with them, and there were even some brand-new clothes left in the graves. The clothes were wrinkled, as if they had originally been worn by a Beastman, but the Beastman had suddenly disappeared and the clothes had fallen down.
Every grave was sealed, and a totem was used to cover the entrance of the grave. Unless the grave was forcibly opened, it would be impossible to dig it out.
But now, all the Beastman corpses inside the graves had disappeared. Lin Yun walked to the grave on the side and once again released a probing spell. The results were the same, everything else was there, only the Beastman corpses were missing.
Lin Yun frowned as he stood in front of the cemetery. He looked at these seemingly intact graves, but there were no corpses inside. He remained silent for a long time.
Suddenly, a faint spatial fluctuation appeared next to him. Lin Yun vigilantly turned around and saw the tribe's Grand Shaman suddenly appearing in the air.
The Grand Shaman had a gloomy expression as he walked to the front of this new grave and looked at it while talking to himself.
"Sure enough, they're gone …"
Lin Yun understood. The Beastman cemetery was so big, and it was so tightly guarded. How could these Beastmen not know that the Beastmen's corpses had disappeared? It looked like the Grand Shaman knew about it.
The Grand Shaman looked at the cemetery for a long time with a sad expression before softly sighing. He turned to look at Lin Yun, but he didn't ask Lin Yun how he had entered the cemetery. He didn't even question Lin Yun for trespassing.
"It looks like you already know."
Lin Yun nodded.
"When we encountered those Undead Beastmen, I already felt that something was wrong. Undead rarely appear among the Beastmen, let alone in such a large number. This is very abnormal."
The Grand Shaman nodded, and after a moment of silence, he pointed at his feet.
"This earth can no longer open its arms to welcome the Beastmen. This earth has an evil power, and the Beastmen can't return to the earth. Their souls can no longer merge with the earth.
"It will devour all the dead, whether they are Beastmen or other lifeforms. They will all be devoured by this earth, or it could be said that they will be devoured by this evil earth. It has a strange magic, and our souls can no longer return to the earth. We can no longer rest in peace."
Lin Yun remained silent as he calmly listened.
The Great Shaman pointed at the graveyard with a sorrowful expression.
"Are you wondering why our graveyard is so big? This graveyard far exceeds the size of our tribe?
I can tell you that more than a thousand years ago, our tribe ruled this grassland, and this vast grassland was our pasture. The cows and sheep we grazed stretched as far as the eye could see, and the Kodos we grazed were as numerous as mountains. The Grassland Wolves that we raised were below Level 35, and they didn't even have the qualifications to be used as mounts. The Wyverns that we raised could only be used as transportation tools.
"Our tribe had over a million qualified warriors. No lifeform on this prairie could pose a threat to us.
"But now, you can see what our tribe is like.
"The prairie has become barren, and the rabbits that used to be as common as weeds can no longer be found. The herds of cows and sheep can no longer be found, and the inexhaustible Kodos, Prairie Wolves, and Wyverns are also very rare. They can't even form a team.
"The tribe's population, including those naive children and toothless elders, only has over twenty thousand people left.
"We are prisoners of this prairie. In a few dozen years, our tribe might become extinct, and we will be trapped here until we die."
As a Heaven Rank powerhouse, the Grand Shaman's eyes were filled with pain and despair. Beastmen weren't afraid of death, nor were they afraid of pain. But this kind of imprisonment and slowly watching their race fall into extinction was the most painful thing.
