One by one, the comrades beside him fell to the ground from the giant millispiders and lost their combat power. Turaru, who was originally complacent and thought that he had obtained invincible power, gradually felt an indescribable frustration and anxiety rising in his heart.
Holding a slender and flexible wooden stick in his hand, he roared in vain as he blocked left and right in the battle formation. Even though he seemed to have endless courage, it was actually difficult for him to support the overall situation alone.
However, right at this moment, when Turaru, who had already felt despair, turned his body to dodge the fierce spear that his opponent was thrusting towards him, he suddenly noticed that a dignified figure with an expressionless face was quietly staring at him in front of the huge wooden house that enshrined the tribal totem pole in the distance.
Time seemed to have come to a standstill at once. The scene of him kneeling in front of that person and expressing his lofty aspirations appeared in the young aborigine warrior's mind. In an instant, his reason and the barrier that bound his ability collapsed together.
"I want to pull out the thickest giant tree in the jungle with my bare hands and strangle the most ferocious beast to death …
I'll let all of the Tudenan tribesmen understand your unpredictable power, Great Raider! " Turaru's roar resonated through the entire Tudenan sky. At the same time, his body began to dry up and shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye. A thick root grew out of each of his left and right soles, bursting out of his animal skin shoes and extending into the soil.
This time, the plant roots with sharp thorns were no longer phantom but a real thing. After they pierced into the soil, they spread out and transformed into sharp wooden thorns within a radius of about 100 meters around Turaru. Abruptly, they pierced out from the ground and penetrated into the bodies of all the warriors and their 'partners' indiscriminately, turning all the creatures within the attack range into dry skin bags.
When the Tudenan tribesmen who were watching the military drill saw that their own tribesmen could actually cast such a terrifying spell, other than a few calm chief warriors, everyone else exclaimed in shock.
However, Zhang Lisheng, who had fought with the forest spiritual monsters many times by the side, knew that although the trick cast by Turaru seemed terrifying, it was actually a trick to perish together with the enemy. If it was in a real battle, when faced with the young warrior who had temporarily turned into a plant, the remaining enemies only needed to avoid it and throw a torch, and they would be able to turn it into a pile of flying ashes effortlessly.
However, this was a military drill and Turaru had already broken the enemy's formation.
"Stop it!" Seizing the opportunity when everyone was in a daze, Zhang Lisheng suddenly shouted and walked up to the warriors who were in the drill. Then, he said to Turaru, "Turaru, even though you've broken the enemy's formation, the spell that you cast has already gone beyond the scope of the drill. Now, you've become a living hunting target, so you've lost."
Turaru, whose feet had turned into roots and could no longer move, became energetic again after absorbing the flesh and blood essence of several dozens of giant millispiders and Tudenan warriors. Crouching on his partner's body that could not move, he said guiltily, "Great Raider, even though I did not deliberately cast that terrifying sorcery just now, when I used it in the martial arts training …"
"Turaru, injuries and deaths are unavoidable in the first place. Since you've just obtained the ability to cast spells, it's also unavoidable that you don't know how to control your strength. So let's just forget about it this time.
However, if there's a second time, I'll definitely take away all of your abilities and kill you. Do you understand? "Zhang Lisheng interrupted his devout believer's words and praised him in an overt manner.
"Yes, Great Raider!" Upon hearing this, Turaru replied fearfully. As he was speaking, a fat choresman chief with two feathers on his head quietly ran to the Tudenan headman and whispered a few words in a low voice with an ecstatic expression on his face.
Immediately, Tugra rushed to the tribal Raider without any delay and reported in delight, "Raider, another warrior who has received your 'gift ceremony' has woken up.
Zhang Lisheng was stunned. Pretending to be calm, he smiled and said, "Is that so?" However, deep in his heart, he was truly relieved.
The second Super Hellfireman who had woken up was called Abdullah. He had obtained the magical power to gather water vapor and nourish everything. If Tudenan was a farming tribe, this power would undoubtedly be very important. However, on the battlefield, it could only be used as a semi-finished healing spell. It was much worse than Turaru's spell that gathered the warriors' strength and vitality.
Fortunately, since there were two, there would be three. The third Tudenan warrior, Chiuru, who was awake, mastered a magical spell that could stimulate the magma deep underground to flow out of the earth's crust to increase the flame damage of the weapons in the hands of the Tudenan tribesmen on the battlefield was very practical. It could be said to have slightly made up for Abdullah's shortcomings.
Just like this, the nine Tudenan young warriors who had been successfully transplanted with the Gold Core fragments by Zhang Lisheng woke up one by one. Each of them transformed into a combination of a powerful spellcaster and a fierce warrior that ordinary indigenous warriors could not match, becoming the new heroes of the Hellfire tribe that traditionally advocated force.
The rapid rise of these so-called beneficiaries of the Super Hellfireman Plan by Zhang Lisheng also caused the hearts of the veteran chief warriors who originally had a high status in Tudenan to tremble violently.
Finally, on the day when the young man had calculated that it was time to leave Tudenan and return to the human gathering place on the island, other than Tugra and Tumu, Nunani, who was the first to be appointed by him as the chief of the thousand-men warriors with three feathers on his head, suddenly came to see him and begged him to accept the gift ceremony.
"Be it my personal courage or the role of the tribal army, I can't compete with the few young warriors at all. I can only rely on my age to suppress them. This disgusting thing makes me unable to eat and sleep."
This chief warrior, who was reckless and straightforward, who was deceived by the Tudenan headman who was actually at a disadvantage in the tribal situation, crawled on the ground and muttered in pain, "Great Raider, it's not that I doubt your decision, but in terms of strong physique and devout belief in you, I, Nunani, am conceited and will not lose to any Tudenan young warrior.
For this reason, I hope that you can also give an old warrior like me a chance to accept the gift ceremony. Even if we have to die in the ceremony, we're still willing. "
Since Zhang Lisheng no longer had the Gold Core fragment in his hand, it was naturally impossible for him to agree to Nunani's request. However, he did not want to rashly refuse the three-feathered chief warrior who was the first to propose to accept the gift ceremony.
After pondering about it, the young man sat cross-legged on the animal skin and pretended to be solemn as he said, "Nunani, since I'm willing to bestow the power of spellcasting to those lowly young warriors, how can I possibly forget a tribal pillar like you?
However, the gift ceremony is an ability that I've just mastered not long ago. Even if I use many strange items to cast it, the chance of success is only about 20%. I can't rashly use it on three-feathered chief warriors like you. It's better for me to wait for my strength to improve and have a higher chance of success in carrying out the ceremony before I bestow the power of spellcasting to you.
Also, don't think that you're already old. If you can successfully accept the gift ceremony, your lifespan will naturally increase by several times, and it won't be a problem for you to live for hundreds of seasons. For this reason, you just have to wait patiently. "
"Obtaining the power of spellcasting and even increasing my lifespan by so much …" Nunani, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled as he blurted out, forgetting himself.
"That's right! A long life is also one of my gifts to my devout believers!" Zhang Lisheng said in a distant tone. "You may retreat."
"Yes! Nunani stood up and secretly glanced at the Raider with an eager and amazed gaze before slowly retreating.
Upon seeing his disappearing back, the Tudenan headman, who had been kneeling by the side, could not help but ask in a whisper, "Great Raider, y-your gift ceremony, gift ceremony …"
"You're also tempted when you heard that it can increase your lifespan by several times, right?" Zhang Lisheng smiled and stopped the Tudenan aborigine's hemming and hawing question.
Tugra buried his head in the long hair of the animal skin under his body and did not dare to speak. However, his meaning was already very obvious. Perhaps the ordinary Hellfire people would not be particularly nostalgic for life due to the hard jungle life and their shallow knowledge. However, to the great chiefs and headmen in the tribe, it was, of course, a good thing to be able to live a little longer, let alone a few hundred years of lifespan.
In the face of Tugra, who was obedient to him, the young man no longer pretended to be mysterious. Instead, he said frankly, "Tugra, it's actually difficult to reduce the risk you have to take if you want to obtain the power of spellcasting and extend your lifespan.
The smartest way is that when you feel that you don't have much time left, I'll hold the gift ceremony for you. In this way, you'll make a lot of money if you succeed, but you won't lose too much if you fail. "
Such a suggestion was indeed the best way. The Tudenan aborigine became silent for a while before replying in a grateful tone, "Raider, y-your care for me, I-I'll remember it forever …"
"Alright, Tugra. Don't say any more meaningless beautiful words." Zhang Lisheng stood up from the animal skin. "This time, I've stayed in the tribe long enough so it's time for me to leave.
Taking good care of Tudenan is the biggest reward you can give me.
That's right, there's one more thing. If you come across a tribe that has fallen into a predicament, pass on my order to eat them. Remember to seal the corpses of the guardian spiritual monsters with fine mud and smash them firmly. I have a great use for them. "
Due to various reasons, the indigenous tribes that had to leave their original hunting grounds and migrate to find a new place to settle would appear every day in the Hellfire Archipelago. However, the probability of them appearing in Tudenan, which only had a 3,000 square kilometer area of influence and a 50 kilometers long coastline, was so small that it was almost negligible.
Even so, Tugra still replied solemnly to the Raider's last special instruction, "Yes, Raider.
As long as I have the chance to come across a migrating tribe, no matter how big or small it is, I'll definitely muster the entire tribe's power to annihilate them. "
