Chapter 113: Chapter 113
"So they deliberately led us to attack the barbarian forest, just to make the barbarian high priest agree to unite the tribes to attack us?"
"Yes."
"..."
Yu Su pondered for a moment and said, "So our previous speculation was wrong. It wasn't the order of the barbarian high priest to rob our food; it was the initiative of these tribes in the Barbarian Tiger Division. Have you asked them why they're stealing food?"
Lu Yan: "They claim there's a shortage of food. Normally, they would cultivate some crops south of the forest, but this year, their crops were destroyed by a group of monsters. Those monsters frequently harass the forest, forcing them to battle against them frequently."
"Monsters? What kind of monsters?" Yu Su asked.
"They're described as creatures living in the desert with strong attacking power, and they consume humans. The barbarians have suffered losses at the hands of these monsters, especially this year, where many warriors died fighting them."
Yu Su frowned. Monsters living in the desert?
Lu Yan continued, "These monsters have always been there, but usually, they don't leave the desert, only occasionally causing trouble at the edge of the wilderness. However, this year, they crossed the wilderness and came to the south of the forest."
Yu Su's expression became serious. The physical strength of the barbarians is considered the strongest among the human tribes he has encountered so far, yet even they suffered losses to those monsters.
It seems those monsters are not ordinary.
The barbarian forest is less than two days away from Yu Village. If the barbarians can't withstand the attacks of those monsters and allow them to penetrate the entire forest, Yu Village will be in trouble.
Yu Su said, "Go and bring the leader of the Barbarian Tiger Division here."
Lu Yan nodded.
The leader of the Barbarian Tiger Division was dragged to Yu Su like a dead dog by Lu Yan. At this point, he had lost the arrogance he had before, trembling at the sight of Lu Yan.
However, when he saw Yu Su, he was surprised.
He thought the leader of Yu Village, who could subdue someone like Lu Yan, should be someone even more powerful and terrifying than Lu Yan. However, he didn't expect it to be a young man with a delicate appearance, fair and smooth skin?
Yu Su is sixteen this year, not short among his peers, but compared to Lu Yan and others, he looks a bit smaller, making him seem even younger.
The leader of the Barbarian Tiger Division almost thought Lu Yan was joking with him. Is this young man the leader?
"This is our shaman. If you keep staring at him, I'll gouge your eyes out," Lu Yan's icy words made the leader shiver, not daring to look at Yu Su anymore.
He also understood now that Yu Su was not the tribal leader, just a shaman.
But even as a shaman, he seemed too young.
However, these thoughts were only silently complained in the leader's mind. He didn't dare to say them out loud.
Yu Su looked at him. "Describe what the monsters attacking you look like and any distinctive features."
The leader, named Shan, didn't quite understand why the shaman of Yu Village would ask such a question, and he wanted to be stubborn and not say anything. However, when he glanced at Lu Yan, he obediently described everything.
"They are creatures crawling on the ground, residing in underground caves in the desert, with tough shells and spikes..."
Listening to Shan's description, Yu Su probably knew what they were.
It was a type of desert lizard.
This lizard wasn't an ordinary one but a monstrous beast with a size close to that of a crocodile, covered with spikes on its head and back.
[Low-level monstrous beast, strong reproductive ability, and leaders can reach the level close to a second-level monstrous beast.]
[Desert lizards generally live in the desert and rarely leave their habitat unless something happens, forcing them to leave their homes.]
The comprehensive knowledge in Yu Su's mind explained.
After hearing this, Yu Su had a rough idea. He had Lu Yan loosen the rope around Shan.
Lu Yan followed suit.
Shan was somewhat surprised. Was this Yu Village's shaman letting him go?
Yu Su said, "Go back and tell your high priest that I will visit the barbarian forest in three days. As for the people you brought..."
Shan immediately said, "I promise we will never harass Yu Village again!"
Since Yu Su had the intention to visit the barbarian forest, he didn't plan to exterminate them, but he also couldn't just let Shan go based on his words.
"Words alone are not enough. You must make a covenant with me, swearing in the name of the gods. If you violate the covenant, you and the people you brought will be immediately struck down by the covenant and perish."
Shan, after hearing this, was shocked. Such a venomous oath?
Yu Su's gaze was fixed on him. "If you are unwilling to make the covenant, you will not leave Yu Village alive."
After some calculation, Shan finally agreed.
When he agreed, he still had some illusions, thinking that Yu Village's oath couldn't really have such a backlash effect.
But when Yu Su used a strange method he couldn't understand to establish the covenant, Shan felt a terrifying force entering his body. He couldn't describe what it was, but he could feel that if he violated the oath, he would truly face a backlash.
Shan was shocked. He had never seen such a covenant method, not even the great shaman of the barbarians had this ability!
Who exactly was this shaman of Yu Village?
With the people of the barbarian leaving, many were puzzled about why Yu Su let them go.
Even Jian Yunchuan came to ask, "Su'er, why did you let them go?"
Yu Su said, "There are desert lizards appearing south of the barbarian forest. It's a low-level monstrous beast, and its attacking power is not something ordinary people can handle."
Jian Yunchuan was slightly surprised. A low-level monstrous beast?
After hearing Yu Su's explanation, he could understand Yu Su's intention.
It turned out that the people of Yu Village were worried that if the barbarians continued to harass, the monstrous beasts might come to Yu Village.
The barbarian forest acted as a barrier for Yu Village. Anyway, as long as they stopped harassing, it would only benefit Yu Village.
After Yu Su's explanation, others also understood.
"Lord Yu Su, will those monstrous beasts really not come to us?" someone asked with concern.
Yu Su said, "I don't know the specific situation right now, so I plan to visit the barbarian forest in three days to understand the situation."
Jian Yunchuan nodded, "That's good. I'll go with you."
...
On the other side, the leader of the Barbarian Tiger Division, Shan, returned to the barbarian forest with his people, looking dejected.
The shaman of the Barbarian Tiger Division saw them coming back but didn't see any warriors from Yu Village following. He couldn't help but wonder, "Shan, what happened? Didn't you succeed in provoking them?"
Leader Shan sighed, "Great Shaman, don't mention it. Not only did we not succeed in provoking them, but we were also all captured."
"
Captured?" The barbarian shaman was surprised.
Shan nodded, telling the story of what happened this time.
After listening, the barbarian shaman was greatly shocked. In the end, he sighed, "We've lost thoroughly."
Others could easily capture their people, indicating that they were completely outmatched. The reason they were released was probably that they were preparing to visit the great shaman of their barbarian tribe. They didn't want to make a scene, otherwise, those warriors from the Barbarian Tiger Division would have been killed.
They had already suffered a large number of casualties in the Barbarian Tiger Division. If these people were lost as well, the Barbarian Tiger Division would have no warriors left and would soon be swallowed by other tribes.
"I made a contract with that terrifying young shaman. Great Shaman, that covenant seemed to have penetrated my mind. I dare not even think about violating it," Shan said with a terrified expression.
The barbarian shaman frowned. Such a poisonous oath?
The barbarian shaman continued, "We have to go see the great shaman."
Subsequently, the shaman of the Barbarian Tiger Division and Leader Shan entered the depths of the forest to the Beast God Temple.
The great shaman of the Beast God Temple was worried about the battles in the south of the forest. After hearing the purpose of the Barbarian Tiger Division's visit, his face sank.
"Didn't I tell you not to harass the northern villages!" The barbarian high priest was very angry.
The Barbarian Tiger Division acted on their own again, making him feel like something was out of his control. This was a challenge to his authority, and he was very dissatisfied with the Barbarian Tiger Division.
"Great Shaman." The shaman of the Barbarian Tiger Division knelt on the ground, saying anxiously, "It's all my fault. It's my wrong judgment that brought disaster to Shan and the warriors in the tribe."
The barbarian high priest scolded them coldly. He had already known that the Barbarian Tiger Division was up to something, and now they were making trouble for themselves. It was entirely their own fault!
"I'm willing to confess my guilt with death, but please save Shan and the warriors in the tribe." The shaman of the Barbarian Tiger Division pleaded.
In the end, the barbarian high priest helped Shan with the examination.
Although he was dissatisfied with the Barbarian Tiger Division, they were still a tribe of their barbarians, and outsiders couldn't bully them.
However, after examining the covenant on Shan's body, the barbarian high priest showed an extremely shocked expression.
"I can't remove the covenant on your body either."
The shaman of the Barbarian Tiger Division and Leader Shan were also shocked.
Even the high priest couldn't remove it?
The barbarian high priest stared at Shan and said, "This is a calamity you brought upon yourself!"
Shan lowered his head. He already regretted it.
The barbarian high priest looked in the direction of the distant north and said with an unpredictable expression, "The young shaman of Yu Village, did he really say he would visit me in three days?"
Leader Shan replied, "It's true."
The barbarian high priest asked him, "What else did he say? Tell me in detail."
Leader Shan recounted everything that happened after entering Yu Village.
The barbarian high priest showed a serious expression as he learned about the powerful warrior camp inside the rift and the Yu Village warriors with terrifying supernatural powers.
"You said they have the power to control flames?"
"Not only that, they can also control water, earth, and plants."
The barbarian high priest's expression at this moment was completely different from before. Until now, he hadn't really paid much attention to Yu Village. He always thought that Yu Village's warriors were able to defeat the barbarians because of the intervention of the Deer God. However, he finally realized that it was not the case.
The warriors of Yu Village actually possessed divine powers!
How terrifying!And such a thing, he actually only discovered it just now.
