The Venomous Snake Altar was located in a valley. The entrance of the valley was narrow and difficult to traverse. Furthermore, there were poisonous insects and archers lying in ambush on both sides of the cliff. If the Silver Wing Tribe were to attack by themselves, this wave of casualties would definitely be disastrous.
Yan Li was different. After the initial period of adaptation, the warriors of the Silver Wing Tribe had developed a sense of worship for him. When he took the lead and killed his way into the valley, they were naturally happy to follow him.
Was there a war easier to fight in this world? Without getting injured or bleeding, without any effort, they easily attacked the enemy's base camp. It was like an outing.
Yan Li didn't care about what they thought. He only wanted to save his own future. It could be said that he used all his skills. Finally, when the time was about to run out, he saw the stone slab that represented its identity.
Perhaps it should be right?
Time and space seemed to stop.
All the warriors of the Venomous Snake Tribe in strange clothes stared blankly at Yan Li who had rushed into the valley.
Yan Li also stared blankly at the stone slab.
It was a stone slab as tall as a person. Its entire body was greenish-silver and covered with lines. In the squares formed by the interweaving lines, there were engraved words that exuded an ancient aura.
Unfortunately, these words recognized Yan Li, but Yan Li didn't even know how they had written them.
The valley was oval in shape. There were rope ladders on all sides. On the cliffs, there were warriors holding javelins. There were also dozens of people climbing down the rope ladders as if they were transporting something.
It seemed to be a device used for war. As they didn't expect the Silver Wing Tribe to attack so quickly, they didn't have time to set it up. Therefore, they all stared blankly at the great killing god, Yan Li.
The stone slab was placed on the altar in the center. It seemed to be very heavy.
The stone slab was placed flat. There was a man with a scar on his face holding a chisel and an iron hammer squatting beside it. He seemed to be carrying out a "destruction" project.
Time seemed to stop. Even the sound of breathing could not be heard.
Yan Li glanced at the chisel and saw that it had already made a big hole. If it were to hit again, the stone slab would probably fall apart. He immediately let out a whistle, hoping to attract the attention of the knife-scarred man. At the same time, he threw out the [Leaving Cliff] in his hand.
In the blink of an eye, with a howl from Yan Li, time returned to normal. Without hesitation, the knife-scarred man raised his hammer and smashed it down.
Bang!
As the flagstone cracked into pieces, the 'Leaving Cliff' pierced through the head of the knife-scarred man. It was so fast that not even a trace of blood, flesh, or brain was left on it. With a 'xiu' sound, it deeply pierced into the stone wall on the opposite side, trembling and buzzing non-stop.
"It's over." Yan Li's heart was filled with despair as he shook his head helplessly. Who would have thought that even after giving it his all, he would still be unable to salvage the situation and fall at the first checkpoint. If word of this were to spread, he would truly be humiliated.
However, the feeling of his consciousness being stripped and forcibly sucked out of this world did not happen.
The shattering of the stone slab seemed to activate some sort of mechanism, and time stopped for a moment.
Of course, those were just adjectives. They only symbolized the stagnation of the scene. In other words, after a certain event had happened, the reaction of a person was too shocked, and it would have a similar effect.
Of course, the shock on both sides was not on the same frequency.
In the next moment, it was Yan Li's turn to be shocked.
This was because he realized that the remaining warriors of the Viper Tribe were prostrating towards him and worshipping him, while mumbling something.
Following that, the warriors of the Silver Wing Tribe suddenly had a huge change in expression, and they rushed forward and surrounded him tightly.
"What do you mean by this?" Yan Li said coldly.
He had fought bravely all the way to kill the enemies, but he did not get any credit … No, he should get all the credit and hard work. Although he was unable to save the sacred relic in the end, he had already done his best. He had failed his mission, and he did not even have a place to cry. Who would have thought that the person he had just helped would turn the spearhead against him? One could well imagine how he was feeling right now.
Vana's expression was ice-cold, and she changed her gentle attitude from before. "Foreigner, you have killed the chief of the Viper Tribe. They have already recognized you as the new chief. The Viper Tribe has destroyed our tribe's sacred relic, and this enmity is absolutely irreconcilable. Prepare to die!"
"What the hell?" Yan Li felt that his brain was in a knot. He had never seen or heard of such a strange logic.
The people of the Viper Tribe seemed to have been sandwiched by a door. Killing the chief and automatically replacing him?
But then, he realized that both sides were serious.
Seeing that the new chief was surrounded, a majestic man on the cliff roared, "Protect the chief!"
After roaring, he jumped down from the cliff. He was extremely ferocious and brave, and he rammed into the crowd like a chariot, knocking away a large number of the warriors of the Silver Wing Tribe.
Then, the warriors on the cliff jumped down like dumplings and fought with the people of the Silver Wing Tribe, keeping Yan Li out of the range of the battle. A moment ago, they were fighting to the death like enemies, but now, they had become a perfect master and servant. The situation changed so quickly that even a quick-witted person like Yan Li could not react.
"Hey, can you tell me what's going on?" At this juncture, Yan Li had no choice but to seek help from Yu Shenji.
"Young cultivator, if you don't use honorifics well, it will often backfire." Yu Shenji's voice rang out for the first time in a long time.
"Senior, if you don't take care of the juniors as your duty, you will often not be respected." Yan Li decided to counterattack.
"Alright, young cultivator, what do you want to ask?" Yu Shenji asked.
"Didn't I fail the mission?" Yan Li asked directly.
"Is that so?" Yu Shenji sounded very surprised, as if he had suddenly learned that his neighbor, Old Wang, was a great beauty. "Young cultivator, forgive me for my lack of knowledge, but how did you determine that you failed?"
"You said that if the proof of identity was destroyed, the mission would fail." Yan Li ignored his teasing and said in an unfriendly tone, "Were you lying to me?"
"I didn't lie to you," Yu Shenji said.
"Then what's the situation now?" Yan Li asked.
"Young cultivator, I didn't lie to you, nor did I say that your proof of identity was that broken stone slab," Yu Shenji said with a smile. "It's your first impression. Are you blaming me?"
"No?" Yan Li was taken aback. "Then what is it? You said that the clue is the Viper Altar, but don't tell me that my proof of identity is the altar itself? "
"No, no, no." Yu Shenji said with a smile, "Why would I design such a low-intelligence trial?"
"Then what is it?"
"Young cultivator, calm down and think carefully. In fact, the clue is hidden in the details. It depends on whether you can unravel the mystery."
Since he did not fail the mission, Yan Li naturally would not give up. He carefully recalled his experiences along the way. In fact, this journey had been too fast, and there were not many experiences to speak of. The only one …
He suddenly looked at the intense battlefield and blurted out, "Chief!"
"Congratulations, you got it right. Then I'll reward you with another clue." Yu Shenji said with a smile, "If your subordinates are all wiped out, then the Viper Tribe will no longer exist, and you, chief …"
Yan Li's heart skipped a beat.
