All of a sudden, Guarba slammed his golden scepter heavily into the ground. The veins on his arms swelled up, as though tiny green snakes were coiling around his arms! His entire body's vigor started gushing towards his scepter.
Crackling noises instantly resounded from the ground of the fiery plaza. Amidst the swirling dust, Sheyan was astonished to discover a shallow arc pattern that seemed to have been engraved long ago in front of him. What flowed slowly within the groove was actually the dark red blood of the corpses that had perished in battle here!
Following that, Sheyan discovered that these concealed little grooves crisscrossed across the fiery plaza, forming a gigantic and mysterious diagram of over a hundred zhang in radius. If one were to view this diagram from a bird's eye view, it would be the image of a scorching sun with a curved beard, greedily chewing on the blood of corpses. It was indescribably bizarre, yet indescribably savage. The blood of the corpses gushed incessantly, as though they were flowing through the veins of the diagram.
"O Sun God who illuminated this world for the 79th era, please bare your fangs! I, your subjects, offer you the most sumptuous sacrifice! "
While Guarba was casting his witchcraft, Mbenga and the two grand elders of the Coiled Serpent subtribe, Tiago and Hecaosi, had simultaneously launched incomparably ferocious assaults towards Guarba! Instead, Guarba merely waved his hand, and a heatwave blasted in! Even the arrows and javelins that were shot out were easily blown away!
Following that, the blood of the corpses flowed into the grooves by the side. Then, the two snake-headed humanoid statues once again slid out with a rumble. Their convex lenses were dyed blood red, and once again congealed with a glaring radiance. However, the radiance carried an exceedingly mournful crimson luster, as it ferociously swept out. Effortlessly, Mbenga and the two grand elders of the Coiled Serpent subtribe, Tiago and Hecaosi, were forced to retreat to a corner of the fiery plaza.
Guarba abruptly strode towards the heart of the fiery plaza, before vomiting out mouthfuls of blood.
After Guarba's blood fell to the ground, it congealed into a blood sphere that rapidly extended out in all directions.
Following that, the corpses of those who had died earlier began to stand up. This strange and terrifying scene was really chilling. Fortunately, these corpses were not in a hurry to attack. Instead, they gathered together and hugged each other. These corpses hugged each other with great force, so much so that Sheyan could hear the sound of bones breaking in the distance!
Then, the flesh on their bodies twisted like candles, melted, and solidified again. The light from the Serpent God statue in the distance also shone on their bodies, as if they were being welded together.
In the end, it turned into a terrifying monster that glowed with a bright red color. It looked like a huge gorilla that had just been skinned. Only the front of its arms were connected by the ribs of a human body, forming a white bone blade! The deterrence this monster gave off was even stronger than a normal Licker! Even if it faced a Licker boss, it could probably last for a long time.
At present, Sheyan finally understood why Guarba was so righteous and awe-inspiring, and wanted to fight one against three. As it turns out, these corpses were his best helpers. Be it the original owner of these corpses, a warrior of the Coiled Serpent subtribe or a warrior of the Sun subtribe!
Mbenga glared at Guarba, the hatred in his eyes didn't diminish in the slightest. With a wild roar, he once again raised his pike and charged forward! At present, he had already displayed the full might of this body, which was also the leader of the Coiled Serpent subtribe, the Gundazan. One must understand, the Gundazan was able to lead his tribe to contend against the Sun subtribe for a thousand years. One could imagine how formidable he was.
Yet to Mbenga, he didn't directly devour the main persona. That would only result in mutual destruction. Instead, he merely suppressed the main persona to the limit. In order to fully display the strength of this body, this implied one thing – he had to grant the main persona more freedom, and grant the main persona greater authority over this body! The price of such an action, would directly incinerate the soul energy of the secondary persona. It was highly possible that after this battle, the secondary persona would directly perish.
As for the terrifying Guarba, although he was currently in a weakened state after casting a powerful spell, the zombie beast he summoned was humongous in size, and its movements were exceedingly nimble. If not for the two elders of the Coiled Serpent subtribe desperately rescuing him, and even sacrificing themselves, Mbenga would've long been dismembered.
Yet strangely, although they could similarly inflict damage to the zombie beast, when the zombie beast approached a corpse, it would roll on the ground and instantly attach itself to the corpse. In the blink of an eye, it would absorb the flesh and blood of the corpse, transforming it into a part of this dreadful monster.
Within a short span of time, Mbenga and the two elders of the Coiled Serpent subtribe were surrounded by perils. Yet the zombie beast they were facing remained incomparably ferocious, brimming with vigor and vitality, without a single trace of fatigue.
Mbenga's face was ashen as he slashed out with his spear. Yet, most of his spear pierced through empty air. Even if he managed to land a hit, it would merely result in a foul stench of flesh and blood splattering out. Basically, he couldn't deal much damage to the zombie beast obstructing his path. Knowing that his life was hanging by a thread, his face brimmed with viciousness as he unleashed all his might. Abruptly, he roared wildly as his spear pierced deeply into the zombie beast's chest. With a forceful twist, blood spurted out, and the entire spear exploded!
Amidst a frenzied roar, flesh and blood showered down like rain. A small portion of the zombie beast's body had been brutally sliced off by Mbenga. Then, with a wave of its left arm, its five ghastly white claws formed from fresh human ribs slammed down towards Mbenga's head.
At this moment, the elder of the Coiled Serpent subtribe, Tiago, promptly pounced forward and sent Mbenga flying. Instead, he released a mournful shriek as his right leg was severed by the zombie beast's claws!
Yet at this moment, the bloodthirsty Mbenga pulled out another spear and stabbed it into his chest!!!
One must understand, Mbenga loathed all Ndipaya barbarians. This was an exceedingly abnormal and morbid mentality. To him, Guarba was the most ruthless and massacred most of his kin back then. The other Ndipaya barbarians had their hands stained with blood, and treated his clansmen as food. Since he could slay one, he naturally wouldn't miss out on the opportunity.
After slaying Elder Tiago of the Coiled Serpent subtribe, Mbenga was about to pounce forward again. Instead, he suddenly felt a wave of weakness as he staggered and staggered backwards while gasping for breath. His vision darkened as he knelt to the ground. His entire body trembled violently as beads of cold sweat rolled down his cheeks.
"Hahahaha." Witnessing this scene, Guarba laughed heartily in delight.
At present, Sheyan was exceedingly clear as to why Guarba was laughing. Because the reason Mbenga could control the Gundazan's body, was because of the viciousness in his heart. In layman's terms, it was the resentment before death! Nevertheless, every time Mbenga killed a Ndipaya barbarian, the viciousness in his heart would be invisibly vented out. The more Ndipaya barbarians he killed, the stronger the viciousness he vented out …... and correspondingly, the suppression on his primary persona would weaken!
Sheyan was similarly a shrewd individual. Although his current prowess was far inferior to Guarba's, but! In terms of scheming and shrewdness, he wasn't necessarily inferior to Guarba.
Sheyan immediately grasped Guarba's intentions. As long as he could create another opportunity for Mbenga to kill off the other elder of the Coiled Serpent subtribe, Elder Hecaosi, when Mbenga's vengeance subsides, he would no longer be able to fully suppress his main personality like he was doing now.
Thus, when the primary persona and secondary persona fought over the body, the price would be akin to a clash between an armed policeman and a police officer. Both parties would inevitably be paralyzed, and the body would lose control. At that moment, Guarba would be able to unleash his full power. Based on the mysterious abilities he had displayed, it was very likely that he possessed some sort of magic that could turn Mbenga's body into his puppet!
If that was the case, the outcome of this war would be – The loyal elders of the Coiled Serpent subtribe would all perish, while the sole legitimate successor would be controlled by Guarba. Basically, he would be able to control everything from top to bottom. This was a hundred times more effective than directly annexing the Coiled Serpent subtribe!!
Guarba's shrewdness and foresight could be seen at a glance. Compared to him, those two elders of the Coiled Serpent subtribe were practically like little children.
"Since that's the case...." Sheyan revealed a cold sneer as he pretended to be a corpse. "Then you wouldn't dare to kill Mbenga. More accurately speaking, you would kill the body Mbenga currently possesses. If not, your previous painstaking efforts would be wasted. The Coiled Serpent subtribe would never let off an enemy that killed their leader, the Gundazan. Hmph hmph. Then, I will have a great chance in this war! "
*****
"Hecaosi." Guarba suddenly called out the name of the other Coiled Serpent shaman. "You have no chance of victory, not even half a chance! Therefore, I will give you a chance to live. Immediately cooperate with me to capture this brat, then.... I will turn him into an obedient puppet. After our two tribes unite, the glory of the Ndipaya tribe will once again shine upon the earth! The future belongs to us. I bestow upon you the privilege of following in my footsteps. "
Hecaosi stood at a corner of the blazing plaza. His distance from both Mbenga and Guarba was the same. He stooped his body and covered his mouth with his hand. When he removed his hand, he suddenly felt a warm sensation on his hand. (To be continued.) If you like this work, I welcome you to cast your recommendation votes or monthly votes at qidian.com.
