At first, Edward was startled by the appearance of the Long Ears, believing that they had come all the way here just to be killed.
In the end, the Long Ears did not approach the battlefield after joining the battle, and only attacked the ordinary Tigermen with simple crossbows and flying ropes made out of sea pebbles. There was no telling if the Long Ears were afraid of death or self-aware.
They promptly turned and ran when they saw the enraged Tigermen charging towards them. While the Long Ears were only as fast as the Mountain Tigermen and might even be a little slower due to their constitution, they weren't fighting alone — there was still a group of Players ahead of them.
Hence, the Tigermen who attacked the Long Ears were blown up by the newbie Players who had taken over from the second-rate Players.
If the Tigermen turned back to attack the Players, the Long Ears would keep harassing them, and if they tried to attack the second-rate Players who had been freed, they would be blown up by both the newbie Players and the Long Ears.
Meanwhile, the second-rate Players who were freed naturally joined the fight against the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior after clearing out the Hyena-men.
All at once, the Players who had been completely suppressed by the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior had regained some of their strength, and the situation was now in a stalemate.
Truth be told, the Players were still at a disadvantage. After all, the battle had dragged on for too long and most of their mana bars had been burnt out, and they could only buy time with normal attacks and skills that did not consume mana.
Even so, Edward and the others were not worried at all — they had already survived that desperate situation where they were at the end of their rope, and it was good enough that they could hold on. What else was there to worry about?
Moreover, they all knew that the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior's overwhelming power had been bought with his own life. The moment he burned away his own life force was the moment that would decide the outcome of the battle.
Perhaps the only thing left for the Players to achieve complete victory was to wait for the change that was about to come …
"Chief, I've brought the children of our tribe!"
A scrawny Tigerman reported to Taiga with a guilty look in the Mountain Tigermen's ancestral hall. "But I couldn't find your daughter, Nina …"
Behind him was a group of Tigermen that were no different from human children of eleven or twelve years old.
They timidly looked at the usually benevolent chief, but at this moment, the face of the greatest person in the tribe was filled with a stern expression.
"Let's not worry about Nina for now. What about the elders and women in the tribe?" Taiga Roar asked him calmly with his hands behind his back.
"In order to protect these children, they have volunteered to help the young adults of the tribe and fight against those humans." The scrawny Tigerman bowed his head to the great chief and said resolutely, "Although the Mountain Tigers of the past will be destroyed here, as long as these children are alive, the future of the Mountain Tigers will not be completely wiped out. Great chief, they are in your hands!"
Just as it was about to leave the ancestral hall and fight the enemies together with its clansmen, it suddenly felt a strange sense of incongruity. 33m.33xs
The ancestral hall was a building that existed in most non-human tribes. Unlike the gods that most intelligent races believed in, most non-humans worshipped their ancestors. In other words, they would worship their ancestors and predecessors, and the place of worship was the ancestral hall.
The design of the ancestral hall differed according to the species of non-humans, with the most common being wooden tombstones that lined the front of the ancestral hall resembling memorial tablets.
As for the wealthier tribes like the Mountain Tigers, they would build a few statues of their ancestors in their ancestral halls. As for the rest of the ancestors who hadn't lived too long ago, they would use memorial tablets to fool them.
That was because both statues and memorial tablets would fade or warp after being illuminated for a long time, which was why there was a saying that the ancestors didn't like being illuminated, which was why the ancestral hall of most tribes was the most sinister place in their tribe.
The Mountain Tigers were no exception. That was why the scrawny Tigerman did not notice it due to the darkness when he first entered, but when his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he noticed that the statues of his ancestors had been turned around for some reason. They were now facing the wall and reflecting on their mistakes, and the backs of the statues were painted with a dark-red paint that was almost black.
The other memorial tablets were placed in various corners in an unusual order, and if one looked out a little from those tablets, one could see that there were also strange symbols painted in dark red paint on certain spots on the floor.
"W-what's going on …" The Tigerman was beside himself with rage over the destruction of the Mountain Tigers' ancestral hall, but he couldn't help feeling puzzled. "Did an enemy break in?"
Being the most important place in the tribe, the ancestral hall was usually locked, with only the chief and a few esteemed elders having the keys.
"There's no time to explain." Taiga Roar's expression was solemn, and he spoke with an unquestionable tone. "Get the children here quickly. We'll talk after we escape through the secret passage!"
Out of habit, the little Tigermen were about to follow his orders and walk forward, but they were stopped by the skinny adult Tigermen.
It looked behind the Chieftain.
There was an unusual stone coffin that was also painted with dark red symbols.
The scrawny Tigerman naturally knew what the stone coffin was, but it shouldn't have appeared here.
Moreover, the ancestral hall wasn't particularly large, and there weren't many places where the secret passage could be. Although the scrawny Tigerman didn't know where it was or how to open it, he definitely had some guesses after worshiping in the ancestral hall for so many years, and that stone coffin happened to be covering the most likely place. 33 Mobile:/m.33xs/
All of that made the scrawny Tigerman's unease expand.
It glanced at Taiga Roar and found that the hard-working chief seemed to have become a stranger at some point in time.
"I've just returned from the battlefield where our tribe fought against the enemy. My sense of smell is used to the smell, which is why I thought that my nose wasn't used to the smell when I entered this room and smelled the rust. Now that I think about it, that's not the case." The scrawny adult Tigerman bared his fangs, his expression turning fierce. "Chief … No, Taiga! I've asked the other tribesmen, and they all said that they didn't see Nina leave the house! Answer me, where's your daughter now! "
