Chapter 318: Raging Waves

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

That aboriginal tribe, which was chosen by Zhang Lisheng as the target of attack, was surrounded by mountains and forests in the west, with a vast expanse of water a few hundred meters to the east.

Judging from the tribal totem pole that was less than ten meters high but had a large radius, this tribe should have a population of about 100,000. It could be said as a huge tribe on Shrimp B1 Island already.

At that time, it was already late at night so the tribe was already silent. Other than the warriors on both sides of the north and the south that were on guard, the other tribesmen were already asleep. Only the huge bark house enshrining the tribal book of history had a faint firelight and soft sounds resonating from within.

“Headman Danolu, the attack carried out by Samru, Pelungia and Eruya have already proved that it’s not impossible to challenge Tudenan! As long as us Mandaro also joined this battle of conquest, the small tribes of Woka and Feroru at the north, who keep clamoring to form a coalition attack on Tudenan, will definitely respond to the war too! In this case, Tudenan will inevitably be destroyed! As a large tribe that houses 150,000 people closest to Tudenan, we’ll definitely be able to obtain the most loot, hunting grounds and population! This principle is very clear and straightforward! Not only that, the messengers of Samru, Pelungia and Eruya have brought a very rich gift to us and expressed their greatest sincerity. I really don’t understand why you’re delaying in giving them any response.”

In the tree house, a spiritual monster that was nearly three meters tall, whose body was covered with black hard skin and had two curved sharp fangs protruding out of the corner of its mouth, walked to and fro in fiery temper in front of a bonfire as he complained loudly. It seemed like he was one of the guardian spiritual monsters of the powerful Hellfire tribe that was close to the coast.

In the face of the spiritual monster’s question, the aborigine headman, whose face was covered with dark green sap, still in his prime age, sat on an animal skin that looked a lot like black bear skin, and smiled glumly. He was prodding the bonfire with a black iron bar as he calmly replied, “Dear respected Black Fang Guardian, all those that you said made sense but the journey Tudenan undertakes in order to rise is just too bizarre. Legend has it that the guardian spiritual monster, who single-handedly brought this weak tribe that is almost extinct to become a powerful tribe of more than 300,000 people in a short period of two to three years, has numerous strong partners! If we become enemies just for the sake of those little illusory interests in front of us, then it won’t be a good thing for Mandaro!”

Judging from his tone, unlike the Raider in Tudenan who hoodwinked everybody and had all authority in his hand, a major part of authority in the Mandaro tribe was still firmly gripped in the hands of the tribal headman.

Danolu’s words rendered Black Fang speechless. He could only walk back and forth more annoyed. At this time, an old voice suddenly resonated from the dark corner of the tree house, where the fire could not reach. “Headman Danolu, actually, the reason Samru, Pelungia and Eruya launched this attack at Tudenan, this evil tribe that destroyed the order of the island, is not to just divide the loot or to obtain hunting grounds. Instead, they did so to protect themselves. If this evil tribe is not destroyed, then perhaps when it expands again, it will be our Mandaro’s turn to be conquered.”

“I understand that, Great Remodeler Diradetu.” In the face of this old voice, the Mandaro’s headman’s tone became more cautious and respectful than before. Not only that, he even voiced out the true plan in his hand, “However, I still think that it is too risky to recklessly promise the three tribes of Samru, Pelungia and Eruya and send our troops. I feel that since Samru, Pelungia and Eruya have already entered a war with Tudenan, we can completely decide later after we watch the development of the war. If Tudenan turns defense into attack and soon conquers Samru, Pelungia and Eruya, then we’ll immediately give up the hunting ground on the island! Even if we lose half of our people, we’ll have to travel across the ocean to other islands to stay! On the other hand, if the war falls into a deadlock and the legendary powerful ‘partners’ of the Tudenan’s Raider have not showed up, we’ll join forces with all of the small tribes in the north to join the war and destroy Tudenan!”

Danolu’s farsightedness ended the long-standing debate in the bark house. After a moment of silence, a crystal clear humanoid spiritual monster composed of ice that was standing 20 to 30 meters away from the fire said with an icy voice, “Headman Danolu, since you already have such a far-reaching and thoughtful plan, you should have said it early! We wouldn’t have had to argue about this until midnight!”

Upon hearing the icy spiritual monster’s complaint, Danolu turned his gaze to the direction of the old voice in the dark, and smiled silently. Inadvertently, he said, “I’ve also only just understood these principles, dear respected Ice Protector!”

“I think it’s not that you’ve just understood these principles but you actually wanted to wait till Sir Diradetu to have spoken first before you...” Seeing the sullum face of the Mandaro’s tribesman, Black Fang gritted his teeth and hissed in a low voice. Jowever, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sudden shout of the ice spiritual monster, “Why? Why? I can feel the rage of the ocean! Spiritual monsters who are born in the ocean just like me, have you guys sensed that deafening roar?”

When the iceman exclaimed and shouted, at the deep seabed that was completely dark, Zhang Lisheng, who felt that own strength had been strengthened by the surrounding currents to tenfold, or even 100 times, had a flash of dark brilliance gleaming from his eyes. He bound all the undercurrents together to wrap his body before soaring into the air, setting off billowing waves that charged towards the vast native tribes in the distance.

The wave that had a height of up to 30 to 40 meters charged to the beach. It looked like the fierce momentum could transform the entire Mandaro tribe into a vast expanse of water but just as the wave was about to hit and bury the entire tribe, a gush of extremely cold wind suddenly transformed 90% of the waves in front of the tribe into a solid ice peak.

Then, hundreds of millions of large and small fishes of different sizes emerged from the ice peaks, crushing the ice peaks from inside and outside into pieces, before turning it into a gush of cold mist that dissipated on the beach.

After resolving the wave attack sent in by Zhang Lisheng through omniscient power, a thunder-like loud old voice resonated in the sky. “Invaders, the powerfulness of Mandaro is inconceivable! You should retreat now...”

Before this warning could even finish be given, the giant waves that were half emptied by the cold wind that could only wash away several rows of tree houses on the edge of the Mandaro tribe suddenly became a confluence peculiarly in midair of about four to five meters high at that instant when the waves crashed down. Right away, it drowned the entire tribe in seawater.

At that instant, thousands of tree houses collapsed to the ground. Then, the countless amounts of seawater rampaging the tribe began to rise to become thick fog, transforming into the shapes of countless numbers of claws and animal mouths, before attacking the six to seven mountain spiritual monsters with its substantial power till they were heavily injured.

Seeing that his sneak attack could actually yield such a great result, Zhang Lisheng, who was standing on the clouds coursing in the air, could not help but burst out laughing. In the midst of his laughter, above the cliffs on which the Mandaro tribe was situated, a dense spread of countless huge spiders spat out purple spiderwebs, climbed down and soon charged towards the tribe under the cliff.

“It’s the Tudenan people! The Tudenan people! Only they have so many partnered warriors! B-But why is Tudenan attacking us in the middle of the night?” The Mandaro headman, who fell being smashed into by the wave, crept up on the wet and salty ground in a wrecked manner. With the help of the moonlight, he looked at the tens of thousands of giant millispiders killing in a rampage in his tribe and roared loudly, with a horrified gaze in his eyes.

An old-looking spiritual monster that was entirely wrapped in brown bark standing next to Danolu said with a blank expression, “Do you still not understand, Headman Danolu? As long as Tudenan annihilates us, their hunting ground will run through the east and west coasts. By that time, if they shut the hunting grounds for ten days, the small tribes in the north will be isolated and helpless. In this situation where everybody is a plate of loose sand, they’ll be then engulfed by Tudenan one by one. By that time, Tudenan will become the second Kamando on the island. All of the crisis they face will naturally be eliminated too!”

“B-But the risk that they need to face would be too great! Remodeler Diradetu, even if the guardian spiritual monster of Tudenan has the extraordinary ability to give spell-casting power to ordinary Hellfire people, this is just too risky! Don’t they know that as long as we drag them out, when tomorrow dawn arrives, or at most, when the sun rises to the middle of our heads, the three tribes Samru, Pelungia and Eruya will definitely send their reinforcements here! By that time, t-they’ll definitely lose...” Danolu shouted incoherently.

“Of course they need to take the risk!” Diradetu, who had once saved the Mandaro tribe from self-destruction hundreds of years ago, looked at Mandaro’s warriors and spiritual monsters who were gradually collapsing and sighed in a whisper. “However, it’s apparent that the risk the Tudenan people took this time has paid off. 570 years ago, I’ve also led the Mandaro people to risk the demise of the genocide and achieved such a hearty victory before. Oh, but that was a long time ago.”

Diradetu’s sigh snapped Danolu back to reality.after being stunned for a while, he suddenly strode to the altar that was covered by the wreckage of the tree house not far away, and ransacked to look for the tribal book of history. Hugging it back and returning to stand beside Diradetu, he kneeled on the ground and said, while offering the book with both of his hands. “Great Remodeler, since you can save Mandaro from destruction once, you’ll be able to save it for the second time too! Please! Please take this tribal book of history and leave! As long as the tribe’s legacy still remains...”

“Headman Danolu, I’m already old. I’ve gradually become less interested in the absorption of faith in the past 100 years.” Diradetu slowly shook his head and interrupted the words of the Mandaro’s headman. Pointing at a floating giant wrapped by clouds in midair, he said bitterly, “Not to mention that this strong powerhouse who is in charge of Tudenan will never allow any prey to escape. Mandaro is going to perish tonight.”
