The sudden outburst of that tribal warrior startled Sheyan. His originally strict vigilance was like a taut bowstring, as he instinctively punched out!
That tribal warrior was already grievously wounded, like a lamp without oil. After receiving that punch, he bluntly collapsed to his death.
Witnessing such a desperate battle, Sheyan's heart couldn't help but tremble. Immediately, he climbed up the sliding stone slab and gradually ascended upwards.
During the process of ascending, Sheyan couldn't help but crouch his body, as though he was a sprinter preparing for a sprint. By doing so, not only could he reduce the area of attack, he could also utilize the most convenient method to launch an assault at the first instance …... or flee. Nevertheless, Sheyan reckoned that the probability of fleeing was still higher.
As the stone slab gradually ascended and approached the outside world, Sheyan could already hear the chaotic clamor of battle cries echoing from the bonfire plaza outside. Just by listening, one could sense the chaos and slaughter of the fiery plaza outside.
Sheyan's eyes swivelled, as he casually dragged two corpses over to block his front. Then, he smeared some blood on his face. His entire body cleverly crouched on the ground, pretending to be a corpse. Undoubtedly, such an action was exceedingly shameless, yet it was filled with concealment. Sheyan believed that in the midst of such a chaotic and intense battle, no one would be able to discern any abnormalities from a corpse.
After reaching the fiery plaza, the stone slab faintly trembled before stopping. Sheyan could even hear the sound of a locking mechanism below. Evidently, if he wanted to enter, he would have to wait for the first rays of dawn, before summoning the two statues to open the door. This undoubtedly signified that Sheyan's path of retreat had been severed.
The fiery plaza's topography was akin to a gigantic frying pan. The periphery was high, while the center was flat and low. Sheyan gazed towards the edge of the plaza, and noticed that the Ndipaya Kingdom Guards were actually divided into two distinct factions, as they slaughtered each other!
The majority of the Kingdom Guards were proficient in using javelins and bows. Their faces were adorned with coiled serpent tattoos, as they furiously roared out indistinct native language. Faintly, they protected the bloodied Mbenga within.
As for the other group of Ndipaya Kingdom Guards, they were wielding heavy weapons like spiked maces and two-handed hammers. Though their numbers were lesser, their faces were tattooed with sun shapes. Several malevolent mutated dogs were shuttling around their feet. Not only that, behind those Ndipaya Kingdom Guards were 3-5 gigantic masked shamans – Ndipaya Elders.
In the center of those Ndipaya Elders, was an incomparably robust bald male. His appearance was simply as robust and solid as the God of War, Kratos. Of his entire body, only his left shoulder was draped with a vest made from the skin of a male lion. Though the vest was made from the skin of a male lion, the rest of his body was completely bare. His muscles were distinctly distinct, and he held a golden scepter in his hand.
Bathed in the sunlight, this bald male gave off the impression of a gigantic whirlpool; constantly expanding and revolving, as he greedily devoured all energy in his surroundings!
Upon seeing this individual, Sheyan didn't need anyone to introduce him. Instead, he knew he was definitely Mbenga's unforgettable foe, Guarba!
Yet at this moment, Mbenga buried his head and bellowed wildly as he charged towards that bald male. At this moment, a bizarre incident occurred. Those Ndipaya Kingdom Guards that were surrounding and protecting Mbenga actually acted; attempting to obstruct Mbenga. Instead, Sheyan could tell that these Ndipaya Kingdom Guards were extremely restrained in their actions, and didn't have the slightest intention of harming Mbenga.
Instead, Mbenga's prowess seemed to have increased yet again! Wielding his pike, he had unexpectedly pierced through the chests of the two Ndipaya Kingdom Guards who were obstructing him! Casually flinging them away, Mbenga roared ruthlessly as he broke through the Ndipaya Kingdom Guards' blockade and charged straight for Guarba!
Mbenga's charge carried an incomparably desperate and desperate aura. Without a doubt, once Mbenga neared Guarba, he would definitely resort to any means at his disposal. Even his teeth and nails, he would disregard everything to perish together with Guarba!
Yet Mbenga was utterly incapable of approaching Guarba.
Those Ndipaya Kingdom Guards by Guarba's side were exceedingly valiant. Their tyrannical and bulky physique seemed to be filled with muscles, and could only be described as an iron bastion! Raising their massive wooden shields and smashing them into the ground, it was as though they were constructing an impregnable city! Based on Sheyan's initial estimation, those Ndipaya Kingdom Guards weren't even contestants, or even Reserve-duty Growth-Hunters, could break through!
That was the only way to describe it. If there was such a group of Ndipaya Kingdom Guards defending the frontlines against the beast horde of the Avatar World, unless Goddess Eywa dispatched her Thanatos or Phantom Knights, it would be practically impossible to break through their defences.
Thus, Mbenga was bluntly repelled back. Fortunately, Harbin didn't suffer any fatal injuries. This definitely wasn't due to his great luck, innate talent, or the fortune of a main character. Instead, it was because …... in order to protect him, those Ndipaya Kingdom Guards with tattoos of coiled serpents launched a simultaneous assault!
The javelins they hurled out, as well as the mournful poison arrows they shot out from their bowstrings. It was simply like an onslaught of a tropical storm! Abrupt, frenzied, torrential!
Upon witnessing this scene, Sheyan's eyes suddenly sparkled! Previously, he had already deduced that the Ndipaya Kingdom Guards probably had an old enemy or feud that specialized in long range attacks. Therefore, their equipment would be exceedingly tyrannical in defence against long range attacks. However, there were also times when Sheyan had miscalculated. He had never considered one thing.
That was, the greatest enemy usually came from within!
The mighty Qin conquered the seven kingdoms, but was defeated by Zhao Gao. The Han dynasty was terminated by Cao Pi, a descendant of a eunuch. The Wei dynasty was annihilated by Sima Shi. Li Jiancheng's greatest enemy wasn't the Turks or Wang Shichong, but Li Shimin …...
Even after the collapse of the Ndipaya Kingdom, once the pressure from external enemies lessened, a situation of power struggle would most likely occur. Moreover, the combat styles, combat styles, beliefs, ideologies of these two tribes were completely different! Naturally, the Coiled Serpent Tribe and the Sun Tribe would view each other with hostility and slaughter.
"Then, when did these two tribes ally?" Sheyan inwardly deduced. "Evidently, it was that unknown upheaval that led to their alliance! Even their largest village in the misty region had been breached! In such a critical juncture that concerns the survival of their entire tribe, they would definitely unite against external enemies. "
Under the concentrated barrage of arrows, Mbenga managed to escape unscathed. Even so, he was still targeted by a Ndipaya Tribe elder, who blasted out those malicious' Hair Worms' darts at him! Yet at this moment, an Coiled Serpent Tribe javelin thrower swooped in and blocked Mbenga's front; using his back to receive that incomparably malicious' Hair Worm 'blow.
Yet at this moment, an astonishing scene occurred. Mbenga actually stabbed out with his javelin, piercing through the throat of the javelin thrower who had just saved him, and didn't even hesitate to use his body as a shield! Like trash, the javelin thrower was sent flying.
Then, Mbenga fiercely retracted his javelin, before retreating back to the empty ground and panting heavily. Instead, those Ndipaya Kingdom Guards of the Coiled Serpent subtribe didn't have the slightest intention of vengeance. Instead, they continued to shrink their defensive perimeter, protecting the scarlet-eyed Mbenga!
Sheyan's pupils shrunk in a flash. Was this still the simple and honest Mbenga who loved to scratch his head and giggle foolishly? He couldn't help muttering to himself.
"Could it be …... could it be the truth?! Removing all impossibilities, no matter how bizarre the remaining conclusion is, it would most likely be the truth! "
*****
All of a sudden, the two opposing factions revealed a panicked and clamorous countenance. Without prior consultation, they turned their heads towards the mountain range surrounding the ruins. Initially, the mountain range was filled with complex honeycomb-like passageways. Yet at present, the passageways were all emitting dense crimson fumes!
Although Sheyan's understanding of the Ndipaya Tribe was minimal, he could still decipher the significance of those dense crimson fumes.
Without a doubt, there was only one explanation! That was a warning!
Moreover, it was an extremely critical warning!
Evidently, the biochemical abominations in the outskirts of the misty region had started a massive assault against the remaining Ndipaya barbarians. To the Ndipaya barbarians, they had already reached a point of no retreat. If their final line of defence were to be breached, then they were destined to accept the fate of annihilation!
At this moment, the stalwart Guarba stomped out and raised his golden scepter. Then, he bellowed towards the Coiled Serpent tribe members. "Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha!
"Do you wish for the glorious Ndipaya Kingdom to be extinguished today??? Do you wish for the bloodline of your ancestors to be drained dry today? "
Evidently, although the Coiled Serpent Tribe had more members, they didn't have a leading figure like Guarba. In terms of momentum, they were at a disadvantage. After whispering into each other's ears for a brief moment, two elders stood out and resentfully replied.
"Of course not! Guarba, we only wish to protect the final bloodline of the Gin Clan. "
