Chapter 408: Chapter 307: The Abomination

Han Zhan instantly came to his senses when he saw a head with wildly dancing black hair.

This place cannot be judged by common sense,

nor can it be understood by that legend he was familiar with!

Warriors of the Yellow Emperor Tribe with Earth Element Spiritual Power, warriors of the Chiyou Tribe with transformation talents, and the eerie demon that even the Jiu Li Priest feared.

These are the “basic elements” that make up the Fruit World of the Wilderness of Zhulu!

“What did you say?”

Li Wu rested the Beheading Great Saber across Han Zhan’s neck.

He had already identified the demon lurking among these ordinary warriors of the Yellow Emperor Tribe, and for this last captive, he wasn’t as eager as before.

Allowing Han Zhan to speak a few more words didn’t hinder anything.

“I said, you haven’t dealt with the demon.” Han Zhan rephrased it in a more straightforward manner.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Li Wu frowned deeply.

The weighty Beheading Great Saber made Han Zhan’s shoulders sink.

The bloody blade still carried the stench of recent slaughter, continually assaulting Han Zhan’s nostrils.

“You’d better explain it clearly. Otherwise, you’ll die more painfully than your companions.”

Despite saying this, Li Wu’s saber ultimately did not fall.

No identity value, no miraculous defense, nothing reliable.

Seeing how this group from the Jiuli Tribe treated the demon as a formidable enemy, Han Zhan decided to take a risk.

The result proved he gambled correctly.

“The demon isn’t that easy to kill.”

“Nonsense, with the Holy Powder given by the High Priest, how could it not be killed? Stop spouting nonsense and unsettling the troops!”

Li Wu shouted lowly, threatening to strike.

“Believe it or not, let me try, and you’ll know.” Han Zhan said with unfaltering belief.

“I’m a Priest of the Yellow Emperor Tribe, specializing in dealing with matters related to demons. I do have some means.”

After hearing Han Zhan’s words, Li Wu was full of suspicion.

“Since when does the Yellow Emperor Tribe have such a priest?”

“If you really had means, why didn’t you discover it earlier?”

“Ahem.” Han Zhan was a bit at a loss for words from Li Wu’s questioning, but he still felt the pressure on his hands and feet loosen.

Abundant Spiritual Power began to spread, warming his entire body.

This long-lost sense of security felt so good.

Li Wu’s thought was simple: if this captive in front of him was telling the truth, then completely resolving the demon was of the highest priority.

If he was lying, they could just kill him again.

Even if he really managed to escape, it would not significantly impact the overall battle situation.

Anyone who could become a priest must at least possess that bit of intelligence.

Of course, Han Zhan wasn’t entirely bluffing here, spouting nonsense.

Having experienced three Fruit Worlds, dealing with these demons, disasters, and calamities, Han Zhan knew well how tricky they were.

If it were really as simple as scattering some white soil, there wouldn’t be such solemn expressions on their faces.

They must lack absolute confidence within themselves, which was why they remained so wary and cautious.

“Quickly start, and don’t think about performing any tricks.”

Li Wu thrust the Beheading Great Saber into the soil, crossing his arms, glaring at Han Zhan intently.

Without the restraints of chains, Han Zhan’s severely injured body also slowly healed under the nourishment of the Celestial Serpent Body and the Creation of Living Beings by the Shennong Cauldron.

He nodded and indeed performed no trickery, but rather closed his eyes, activating the Heaven’s Origin Talent of the Nuwa Stone.

The Heaven’s Origin had already been verified for its miraculous effect against these peculiar and tough entities back in the Qinse World when dealing with the Crimson Queen.

Sure enough, under the perspective of the Heaven’s Origin, Han Zhan saw.

Within the crushed and obliterated head previously slain by Li Wu, a blob of black liquid was wriggling and flowing.

Most of the black liquid was buried under the white soil, but a small amount remained curled up in corners untouched by the white soil.

Upon discovering this, Han Zhan didn’t hesitate.

He raised his hand directly, letting the Nuwa Stone in his hand emit a radiant glow.

Seeing Han Zhan take action, Li Wu instinctively reacted, reaching for the handle of the Beheading Great Saber.

But shortly after, he loosened his grip on the handle once again.

Because Li Wu saw that as Han Zhan made a move, a wriggling mass of black liquid was extracted from the pool of blood. It seemed to have life, still crazily struggling, trying to escape Han Zhan’s control.

“Damn it, I knew the demon wasn’t so easy to completely deal with!”

Seeing this scene, Li Wu cursed.

Which drew a slight sidelong glance from Han Zhan.

The ancients in this Fruit World of the Wilderness of Zhulu didn’t seem to be that civilized, eh?

While Han Zhan was still internally complaining about this, Li Wu approached him once again.

“You’ve helped us deal with one demon, I’ll spare your life. We guys from the Jiuli Tribe are clear about our grudges and favors.”

“Go ahead. If we meet again on the battlefield, we’ll still be enemies.”

After speaking, Li Wu made way for Han Zhan.

The other warriors of the Jiuli Tribe did the same, stepping to the sides of the path.

From Han Zhan’s perspective, it appeared as if two walls had suddenly materialized out of thin air.

Unexpectedly, Han Zhan shook his head.

“You don’t want to leave?” Li Wu asked, somewhat surprised.

“It’s not that I don’t want to leave, but I’m afraid I couldn’t even if I tried.”

“Why?”

Han Zhan didn’t answer Li Wu’s question.

With the Heaven’s Origin Power, Han Zhan lifted his gaze toward the dense forests in the distance.

Suddenly, billowing smoke rose from afar, first a spot of white, then into an endless expanse.

Soon after, the entire earth began to tremble along.

“It’s a beast horde!”

“Damn, the Yellow Emperor Tribe is charging at us!”

Warriors responsible for keeping watch quickly approached Li Wu, reporting to him.

“Retreat!” Li Wu cast a deep glance at Han Zhan, lifted the Beheading Great Saber from the earth, and turned to sprint away.

No nonsense.

If they didn’t run, what were they gonna do, stay and get devoured into scraps by those beasts?

Even though the iron-armored army of the Jiuli Tribe was superior to a beast horde, under the absolute difference in numbers, they had to recognize this reality.

“Wait, take me with you!”

Han Zhan suddenly caught up from behind.

“Why aren’t you joining the Yellow Emperor Tribe and instead following us now?”

Li Wu was bewildered by Han Zhan’s sudden action.

With a cryptic expression, Han Zhan glanced behind him.

“Look carefully again, are they really people from the Yellow Emperor Tribe.”

Prompted by Han Zhan, Li Wu concentrated his vision.

One dried-up skeleton-like figure after another rode on various beasts, and the beasts beneath them were hideously disfigured and menacing.

This was entirely contradictory to Li Wu’s understanding of the Yellow Emperor Tribe’s beast horde.

He suddenly understood what Han Zhan meant.

This was no mere beast horde,

These were demons,

All of them were demons!
