The tanks of the Furious Bears Tribe rushed for hundreds of kilometers in the rolling sand. The sand behind them was elongated into a yellow dragon that penetrated deep into the center of the desert.
This place was a paradise for demon beasts. Some of the demon beasts lurking below the ground could even form a herd of hundreds of them. But no matter how large the herd was, none of them dared to mess with the unstoppable iron army!
Even the most brutal demon beasts were lurking deep inside their nests and blocking the entrances of the caves with tumbleweeds and rocks. They were shuddering in fear as they sensed the tremors of the earth in the darkness!
The apocalypse cloud grew larger and larger until it almost covered half of the sky. The remaining half of the blue sky gradually dimmed, too.
Even though they were still hundreds of kilometers away, they could already hear the earsplitting shrieks deep inside the apocalypse cloud. An enormous pillar of smoke rose up from the horizon and soared into the sky, as if it were made of billions of evil souls!
Li Yao and Wu Mayan were running side by side when they suddenly heard noises coming from the left and right, which almost drowned out the roaring apocalypse cloud.
Li Yao looked into the distance and saw that two enormous tanks had appeared on the horizon on both sides and were rushing toward them.
The tanks on the left were surprisingly fast and drew close to them like a silver tornado.
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and observed carefully, only to discover that the tanks were decorated with colorful decorations that made them look like caterpillars.
Their tanks were similar in structure to those of the Furious Bears Tribe, but they were much more delicate and made of a lot of rare metals. Almost every warrior was carrying several True Qi guns and a couple of True Qi sabers.
On the flag on the back of their tanks, a silver crescent moon was painted. There was also a face on the flag that was grinning, which was quite similar to the emblem of the Burning Sun Tribe.
Wu Mayan shouted, "This is the tanks of the Silver Moon Tribe. The Silver Moon Tribe is the richest of the six tribes of Iron Plateau. They boast quite a few large mother lodes in the first place, and they like to do business among the six tribes. Therefore, they have accumulated a lot of wealth. Their armor and armor are the best of the six tribes!
"However …"
Wu Mayan chuckled and continued, "The qi-trainers of the Silver Moon Tribe are well-equipped. When their spiritual gas is sufficient, they are the most ferocious of the six tribes. But when the war is intense and their weapons are damaged or they lack ammunition … That's hard to say! "
Li Yao nodded and pointed to the right. "Right?"
The fleet on the right was even more noisy than the Silver Moon Tribe. Countless muscular men were wrapped in thick bullet chains, and quite a few True Qi guns were attached to their backs.
Such a weapon that spurted out high-pressure spiritual gas was definitely not much worse than the spiritual guns in the outside world.
Many warriors were yelling while firing their True Qi guns into the sky. Their bullets were the size of a child's fist. It was unknown what kind of crystal they were filled with, but the explosive power was extremely weak. They exploded in mid-air, turning into colorful fireworks.
Wu Mayan said loudly, "That's the Heavenly Wolf Tribe's caravan, they like to use guns the most, the bigger the caliber the better, the stronger they think the stronger they are, the bigger the caliber of their guns! So, look, their chariots are filled with revolving gun platforms and turrets! "
"The top-notch experts of the Heavenly Wolf Tribe don't even use firearms. They carry cannons onto the battlefield!"
While they were talking — Xiong Wuji and the other leaders of the Furious Bears Tribe rushed out of the camp and joined the leaders of the Silver Moon Tribe and the Heavenly Wolf Tribe. The three parties were roaring and marching side by side. It was quite intimate.
Wu Mayan drew close to Li Yao and almost extended his head to his ear. "In every battle against the apocalypse, all the experts and leaders of the six tribes of Iron Plateau will be mobilized. Therefore, the battle against the apocalypse is sort of a meeting of the six tribes that will decide the next ten years. The future of the six tribes of Iron Plateau!
"The Silver Moon Tribe and the Heavenly Wolf Tribe are in the best relationship with the Furious Bears Tribe. We are on the same side!
"But the other three tribes are not so close to each other!"
Li Yao raised his eyebrow. He opened his mouth against the wind and asked, "Is there a conflict between us?"
Wu Mayan blushed. Thankfully, it was barely noticeable in the rolling dust. He replied, "The environment on Iron Plateau is harsh. It's not easy for us to survive. Sometimes, there are conflicts because of different directions of development!
"Both the mother lodes and the land suitable for farming and grazing are limited. In order to compete for resources, there have been several conflicts in the past thousands of years.
"However, the intermittent apocalypses have suppressed all the conflicts. A thousand years ago, the seniors of the six tribes of Iron Plateau agreed that the resources would be distributed according to the military credits in the battle against the apocalypse!
"Whoever kills one more apocalyptic beast in the battle against the apocalypse will get one more share of resources. Whoever performs the best in the battle against the apocalypse will be the one who commands everybody! If anyone dares to disobey, the other five tribes will gang up and attack them! "
"This is the unshakable law on Iron Plateau!
"Therefore, over the past hundreds of years, although there have been some conflicts between the two parties, they have generally been quite polite.
"However …"
Wu Mayan lowered his head deeply. A moment later, he raised his head stubbornly. He bit his lips so hard that a row of teeth marks could be seen. He shouted, "Since my mother took me to the Furious Bears Tribe thirteen years ago, the conflicts between the six tribes have been even more obvious!
"The Furious Bear Tribe, the Silver Moon Tribe, and the Heavenly Wolf Tribe are relatively polite to outsiders, especially after my mom cured the leaders of the Silver Moon Tribe and the Heavenly Wolf Tribe. They all accepted our existence!"
"But the Burning Sun Tribe, the Feathered Snakes Tribe, and the Giant Axe Tribe are not so easy to deal with. They all hate the residents from space and have asked the Furious Bears Tribe to expel my mother and my son from the tribe and let us fend for ourselves in the desert!"
"I remember that when I started learning the techniques of the qi-trainers, the three tribes learned it and almost caused a great war between the six tribes of Iron Plateau!
"Thanks to Father Xiong, my mother and I have been able to live comfortably in Furious Bears City to this day because of all the hardships that Father Xiong shouldered!"
While he was talking, the young man's eyes turned red. He clenched his fists and said in a high-pitched voice, "I've been training so hard for two purposes. Firstly, I want to protect my mother from being bullied by anyone!
"Secondly, I don't want to disappoint Father Xiong!
"I remember that the experts of the Burning Sun Tribe, the Feathered Snakes Tribe, and the Giant Axe Tribe gathered in Furious Bears City and forced the Furious Bears Tribe to banish my mother and me. It was Father Xiong who resisted all the pressure!
"I still remember the words he said back then clearly to this day."
"He said that both Iron Plateau natives and space residents share the same blood. We are all human beings who are fighting for our survival and should not attack each other!
"Even if we have to fight, the real men of Iron Plateau should go to the experts of the Jin Dan Tribe or the Yuanying Tribe in space and have a fair competition. How could he vent his fury from five thousand years ago on a widow and an orphan?
"After saying that, he defeated three experts from the three tribes in a row in the arena and saved my mother and me!
"I'll never forget how dauntless Father Xiong was when he was covered in wounds and blood in the arena that day!
"He sacrificed so much to save my mother and me. I won't let him down!
"Yes. We are all human beings. Our blood is red and hot. I'm going to prove it!
"Although the blood of space flows in my body, I will be the strongest person on Iron Plateau!"
Hu!
The young man let out a long howl and grabbed a Wild Bear War Flag in his hand. Then, he fiercely rushed toward a slanted boulder. Using the slope of the boulder, he instantly leaped into the air.
The young man laughed crazily. The flag was waving in the wind, like a fire that could not be extinguished no matter how hard the wind blew.
Li Yao was deeply shocked by the scene. He recalled how Wu Mayan had collapsed to the ground in exhaustion last night.
The training plan that he had designed for Wu Mayan was ten times harsher than the 'hellish special training' that Sun Biao had designed for him years ago. He had thought that Wu Mayan would give up, but the young man had persisted!
Maybe, the thirteen-year-old boy was not a genius but a lunatic like him.
Li Yao took a long breath in relief and grinned. His spiritual gas rumbled as he accelerated to catch up with the young man.
After another hour of rushing, the teams from the other three tribes finally showed up!
The competition between the two parties began from this moment!
Pointing at the three clusters of smoke, Wu Mayan explained to Li Yao one by one.
"The red smoke on the far left is the Burning Sun Tribe, which is the fastest! They boast the best tanks of the six tribes of Iron Plateau, as well as the best scouts and vanguards. They are an out-and-out racing tribe!
"The Burning Sun Tribe worships speed. They believe that the faster one is, the stronger one's combat ability will be!"
Li Yao recalled Yan Chihuo of the Burning Sun Tribe, who was indeed an expert at racing. Had it not been for Black Wing, such a marvelous escape tool, he might not have been able to get away from the man.
"The team in the middle belongs to the Feathered Snakes Tribe. Do you see the giant eagles and giant bats in the sky? They are the domesticated animals of the Feathered Snakes Tribe.
"The Feathered Snakes Tribe is the one that is best at rearing animals. Not only are they good at fighting with animals, they also like to strengthen themselves with them!
"They raise a special type of venomous feathered snakes, which they use to bite themselves when they are young. They stimulate their body with the venom and strengthen their veins and flesh so that the strongest warriors of the Feathered Snakes Tribe can be produced!
"The Giant Axe Tribe on the right is the one with the strictest rules of war among the six tribes of Iron Plateau!
