Witnessing such an unexpected incident, the trio couldn't help feeling curious. They couldn't help borrowing the cover of the floating rocks of the Windstone Highland as they continued stealthily advancing. Sheyan's perceptive sense was the highest, hence after stealthily advancing for several hundred metres, he could already clearly discern the intense and furious shouts from afar.
"Kill him, kill him!!!!!"
A na'vi riding a massive Hammerhead-Titanothere suddenly stood atop his own warbeast. Waving his thick and solid arms, he aimed at the agitated clansmen below and shouted.
"I am a member of the Mosake clan! I have words to say! "
This na'vi appeared to have a rather high status. An old granny wearing a red crest beside Cherokee stood out, and gestured for the clansmen below to quiet down. The Na'vi warrior atop the warbeast continued shouting.
"I've personally captured this damned outsider. He's caused a total of 4 of our clansmen to return to the depths of the ocean's darkness, and even slayed 17 of our comrades. Yes, I too wish to witness his death! But I must admit, he possesses a formidable strength — a strength worthy of respect! "
"Therefore, I must grant him a dignified death! Not humiliating him to be randomly hacked to death, and excreted from the rectum of a wild beast. This is my right! Anyone who is dissatisfied can step forward and challenge me! "
The surrounding clansmen simultaneously quietened down. No challengers emerged. Cherokee stroked the head of his Thanator and solemnly replied.
"Yes, Authe, this is your right. No one has any objections."
The irascible Authe leapt down from his warbeast, and loftily strolled through his clansmen. Then, he shouted towards the person within the wooden cage.
"Outsider! I've very benevolently allowed you to choose your own method of death. Now, please tell me your choice. "
At this moment, that outsider raised his head. In this instance, the trio's hearts were simultaneously jolted. As it turns out, they recognized this person. He was indeed that incomparably formidable sniper expert! For some unknown reason, he was actually able to remain in this world till now. Moreover, even in such a desperate situation, he remained composed and unflustered!
At this moment, Brother Black continued.
"He should possess an item that allows him to instantaneously return to the nightmare realm at any time. I've seen the Metals professor using it before."
Reef curiously asked.
"There's such a good item?"
Brother Black chuckled.
"Of course the usage requirements are extremely harsh. All attributes will be reduced by 5 points, and all rewards and missions in this world will be erased, returning to the state before entering this world. But it's still better than losing one's life."
Because this person was still lingering in this world, Sheyan immediately started considering the possibility of Zi and the rest staying behind. But after some consideration, it didn't matter even if they stayed behind. Now that the Blackthorn tribe's dominance had been established, external factors would no longer affect Sheyan's plans.
Instead, after this formidable sniper was captured, he most likely had a backup plan. Like the item that Mogensha mentioned, or perhaps some other unheard of peculiar life-saving methods. Of course, it was indisputable that the price of using something that could save a life at a critical moment, would definitely be exceedingly expensive.
At this moment, the sniper spoke. His voice was not loud, but it was firm.
"I wish to cleanse my body with water before I die, and then die without bleeding and be buried in the river."
Sheyan's eyes lit up.
"This fellow is really something. How could there be a river on this Windstone Highland? Obviously, he wants to delay for a period of time. Moreover, during the process of being escorted, there would be more opportunities to escape. "
After Authe heard the sniper's request, he still replied without hesitation.
"Fine, I promise you! Three days later, it will be my turn to graze. When that time comes, I will definitely fulfill your wish! "
After witnessing all this, the trio retreated far away. After observing from the periphery for a while, they discovered that the place they climbed up was extremely precipitous. It was the west side of the Windstone Highland, and at the south side, there was a sudden notch, as though a bowl was missing a piece. Descending from there was a relatively gentle slope. It seemed like under normal circumstances, the Na'vis would use this slope to enter and exit.
When the trio decided to depart, the ground suddenly trembled faintly. Very quickly, an astonishing number of direhorses could be seen galloping down from the southern slope. Several na'vis were shouting loudly from the surroundings, urging the direhorses to gallop into the distance.
"So that's grazing." Sheyan muttered. "So that's the case. The Mosake clan has already broken away from their hunting lifestyle. Their clan members still include wild beasts, and their consumption of food should be exceedingly high. Hence, they resorted to grazing to ensure a stable survival for their clansmen."
At this moment, he suddenly recalled that during their initial journey to Hell's Gate, all the contestants had stopped by a river. The scenery there was exceedingly beautiful, and was even artificially planted with a large flowering field similar to Crane's Orchid. According to the Illume-union's Yuan Zhan, the direhorses would regularly consume nectar to nourish their bodies. To them, the nectar was akin to salt. Hence, it should be a paradise for the direhorses.
Recalling back now, that place could possibly be a pasture specially set up by the Mosake clan for the purpose of grazing their direhorses.
Since they had already gathered sufficient information, the contestants naturally wouldn't wish to complicate matters. Thus, they carefully climbed down the Windstone Highland, before boarding the arachnid Overlord and returning to the Blackthorn tribe's territory. To the trio, although the arachnid territory was unavoidably disgusting, it was at least a friendly place. Compared to the perilous Pandora forest, they could rest in peace there.
In the end, when they returned, they witnessed a colossal, bloody, yet breathtaking battle.
That was the largest scale contest between the Blackthorn tribe and Mother Nature Eywa.
This time, Mother Nature Eywa was thoroughly enraged. Apart from legendary creatures and mixed troops, Sheyan even witnessed massive amounts of Na 'vi clansmen amidst the wild beasts. Fortunately, none of them belonged to the same clan as the main character of the movie. The Na' vi's formidable long range projectile capabilities posed an immense threat to the arachnids. Momentarily, the Blackthorn tribe retreated in defeat after defeat, and even lost 5-6 organ structures.
Yet at this very moment, the Scorpions entered the stage. This was the first time the Blackthorn tribe had deployed such a formidable unit, the Scorpions. They similarly didn't possess any offensive capabilities, yet their two unique abilities made them the best arachnid support unit.
They could produce massive amounts of biochemical substances similar to viruses. These substances couldn't be resisted by any powerful antidote. The Scorpions could even consume other arachnids, using them as raw materials to produce these toxins. They were generally protected by the zerglings. Such a self-destructive behavior fully exemplified the simplistic thinking of the arachnids.
The Scorpions merely utilized a single ability, and completely restrained the incisive and threatening assaults of the Na 'vi's!
They spat out huge clumps of fog-like black matter. These black matter hovered half a metre above the ground, completely obstructing the vision of the archers! This was the Scorpions' ability – Black Wasp! Completely nullifying the enemy's long range physical attacks! They could only charge into the terrifying black mist and engage in close combat.
Furthermore, the iron triangle combination of lurkers, heavy Ultralisks and zerglings had already proven its might in numerous battles. In reality, Mother Nature Eywa could only resort to a cruel war of attrition to deal with them. Moreover, this was the method she was most unwilling to deal with.
Towards the end, the Scorpions shamelessly spat out Black Wasp towards the Na 'vi archers. Following that, the zerglings and Ultralisks bluntly charged in, unleashing a massacre!
Facing such a situation, Eywa could only give up. She could only give up. The summoned creatures retreated like a tide, while the Blackthorn tribe pursued in a frenzy! Only after inflicting tremendous losses to the enemy did they return.
Seizing this opportunity, Sheyan greeted the Blackthorn Overmind.
"After we left, how many times did you guys fight?"
The Blackthorn Overmind bluntly replied.
"Including this time, 4 times."
Sheyan pondered a little before replying.
"I reckon Eywa will soon launch her final assault. If you can still hold on, then she will probably compromise with you."
The Blackthorn Overmind replied.
"I too wish for peace. On this bountiful planet, my greatest wish is to unceasingly absorb the energies of the pandora crystals without any disturbances, and raise my own realm and strength. Although this is a long and drawn-out process, but I firmly believe, there will definitely be a day where I surpass the Empress, and openly appear before her as an equal."
Sheyan laughed and replied.
"May your wish be fulfilled soon. Eywa's war has already depleted the lives of many creatures. She won't be able to sustain such a meat grinder for much longer."
Sheyan's prediction appeared to be relatively accurate. Not long later, an astonishing incident occurred. The sunlight in the sky seemed to have been obstructed, as flying creatures blotted out the skies and covered the earth. Mother Nature Eywa seemed to have completely forsaken her ground assault, and engaged in a full-fledged aerial battle with the Blackthorn Overmind!!
Yet before the aerial battle began, a tiny discordant interlude occurred! A Scorpion buried underground suddenly burrowed out and launched a sneak attack! In a flash, the sky ahead of it was dyed red by the intense splattering of blood! This was another terrifying ability of the Scorpion – 'Blood Fog'! (To be continued.)
