Chapter 59: Great Chaos Erupts
For three consecutive days, the heavy rain has been pouring down relentlessly, as if it wanted to turn the entire Gaya into a swamp. Now, finally, there is a hint of fatigue, sparse and scattered, feeling somewhat powerless.
When the high priest and his party returned to their tribe's new settlement, the dark clouds had gradually dispersed, and the sky began to clear. Looking out from a height, although half of the rainforest below was submerged in murky mud and water, it was still lush and full of life, not affected in the slightest, but rather gained an extra touch of unusual charm.
"In the next two months, there will be several more downpours of this magnitude. A small tribe without a patron deity would find it extremely difficult to survive if they didn't find a suitable place to take shelter before the rainy season arrived and stock up on enough food." The High Priest looked at the rainforest below his feet, calculated the time in his mind, and already had a plan, but still asked Mang Shan: "Tell me your thoughts."
Mangshan thought for a moment, then said with a sigh: "Among those small tribes without dependence or support, there are also brave warriors who are good at fighting. However, they lack the blessing of sacrifice and find it difficult to maintain their daily needs, let alone expand. Now, the entire Jia Ya situation is chaotic, with constant infighting, and I'm afraid they don't even have time to prepare food or find shelter. When the rainy season arrives, if those warriors who serve as protective gods in their tribes are injured in disputes, regardless of the outcome, all that awaits these small tribes is extinction... They are all descendants of the war god, yet instead of dying at the hands of their enemies, they will bleed at the hands of their own people. It's really..." At this point, Mangshan subconsciously clenched his teeth, his hair standing on end, his eyes wide with anger, and his fists tightly clenched, his face filled with rage!
"Alright, alright. The world is not chaotic, and the Barbarian Empire has no chance of rising again." The High Priest looked at Mang Shan with righteous indignation, patted his forehead in distress, and couldn't accept his personality, so he took over the conversation and continued: "War, rainy season, plus the big tide that comes every seven years a few months later, will cause a devastating flood, destroying and submerging large areas of rainforest. That's when these medium and small tribes will be truly tested. They have no reason not to know that this period is their life or death moment, and with some big tribes pushing the waves, the Barbarian tribes will face a major reshuffle! This process is also a necessary factor for our tribe to grow and rise. These medium and small tribes that the big tribes look down on are exactly what we need to absorb!"
After the old man finished speaking, several people around him had different expressions. Mangshan sighed and remained silent. Ying was extremely excited, seemingly looking forward to the upcoming big shuffle. Lao Liu, on the other hand, curled his lip, cleared his throat, and suddenly sang: "Today's good luck, Old Wolf treats you to chicken~~"
Including the high priest, several people looked at Old Liu with gloom, but Old Liu smiled and made a pose with Lei Wang, showing off his strong muscles to everyone.
"Chief of Mangshan, Great Priest, Eagle, you're back!"
At this time, a barbarian warrior who was standing guard nearby discovered several people and immediately shouted and ran over. Among the few people, the most eye-catching one was naturally Old Liu, and this barbarian warrior was instantly attracted by Old Liu's POSS. With a pair of eyes constantly sizing up Old Liu, who only had a layer of leaves wrapped around his waist, he exclaimed in shock: "A transcendent super beast that has shed its original body! I've never seen one before. Leader, High Priest, is this the one you've subdued?"
Mangshan's mouth twitched, but he didn't say a word. Instead, Old Liu became displeased and scolded, "No respect for elders or young, how dare you speak like that! I am the co-tenant of your tribe's great shaman, the guardian totem of your clan, not some lowly magical beast pet. Ah, yes, I remember you, you're the little brat who recklessly fed Laohei a few days ago and got it to throw up."
That knowing after hearing Lao Liu's words, this barbarian warrior was even more shocked, staring wide-eyed and disbelievingly saying: "You're that mutated mosquito? How is that possible, did three molts really make you shed your original body and become a super magical insect? God of War above, it's too unbelievable!"
Lao Liu was even more depressed, wanting to say something again, but was directly pressed down by the high priest and pushed aside. However, Mang Shan was more careful, looking at this barbarian warrior and asking: "Shi Chui, during my absence, has anything happened?"
"Ah, yes! Sorry, chief. I was distracted by this mosquito and almost forgot." The barbarian warrior patted his head, finally remembering the purpose of his visit, and said with some embarrassment.
"Oh!" Mang Shan's face changed slightly, and he asked somewhat nervously: "What is it?"
Shi Tuo said: "Just now, when we were on patrol, we found a barbarian who was seriously injured. He said he was a warrior of the Jutou tribe and that other tribes had attacked them while they were migrating, scattering their people everywhere. In short, he hopes to get our help."
Here is the translation:
"Speak of the devil! Mang Shan and the High Priest exchanged a glance and said in unison: 'Take us to see him!'"
Old Liu secretly prayed for the barbarian who was about to be deceived by the high priest, hoping that he would not be cheated too badly. As for himself, he didn't bother to follow the high priest and watch him deceive people, but followed them into the cave to avoid the rain, then closed his eyes and walked towards the depths of the cave.
The cave has a very large interior space, with many forks in the road. Although it is ancient, some places still show signs of axe and knife marks, and do not appear to be naturally formed.
In this cave, apart from those old, weak, sick and disabled barbarians, there are naturally other residents. Needless to say, Old Liu's billion-strong army is also stationed here. In fact, it was a bit of a coincidence that Old Liu, as the second-in-command, took advantage of the rainy weather to go out, while the Queen was indulging in meditation and spiritual practice, not asking about worldly affairs. These mosquitoes had no one to command them, and they didn't care about those busy moving barbarian neighbors at all. They were preparing to rely on the dense rainforest to avoid the rain and fight against the storm.
Fortunately, Old Liu discovered the Blood Mosquito Queen's talent a few days ago and introduced it to the High Priest. At first, the High Priest was not pleased, but later he was also convinced by this little thing's astonishing intelligence, thinking that although it couldn't compare to Old Liu's innate anomaly, it was still a rare talent. Moreover, its spiritual abilities were similar to Old Liu's, both having three perfect growth possibilities, and now it could only be said that it was still in the growth stage, with strong plasticity. Once cultivated, it would definitely become an extraordinary little creature. So, the High Priest also accepted Old Liu's request and taught the ignorant Blood Mosquito Queen some spiritual knowledge, preparing to continuously instill the secrets of human spiritual masters' cultivation, even including the forbidden theories of the Barbarian tribe related to spiritual energy. To fully reveal its talent and cultivate it into a powerful tool that could control other creatures' minds and souls!
It was precisely because of this that the intelligent Blood Mosquito Queen, who had been in seclusion, finally emerged and personally took command of the front lines, directing her army to relocate while still flying about in the torrential rain. The barbarian tribe, which had been moving slowly, suddenly found themselves being trailed by a swarm of blood mosquitoes. Before things could take a turn for the worse, they successfully entered this place. As soon as they arrived, they occupied the vast territory deep within the mountain cave and brazenly made it their new home.
As for Lao Hei, there's no need to worry. In recent days, this giant spider that has been undergoing mutations has been fed by the kind-hearted barbarians and has become tame. Even when Lao Liu calls it, it rarely responds, instead preferring to hang out with a group of barbarian warriors. During the Great Material Transfer, it was the first to respond, bringing its many minions to follow the barbarians in their retreat, making it a loyal "running dog" for the barbarian side. However, it's unclear if Lao Hei is just unlucky, but the small spiders it protected with its life are dying off every day due to various reasons (Lao Liu tells it they're just lost), and now only 30 or 40 of them remain, leaving Lao Hei very distressed.
Now Old Liu entered the depths of the cave, and Old Hei came out to greet him with a thud, dragging his heavy belly. At first, Old Hei was taken aback by Old Liu's new appearance and didn't dare believe that this giant in front of him was his old boss. It wasn't until Old Liu spoke up, or rather, sent him a mental message, that this not-too-bright spider monster's eyes lit up as he scurried over with his minions to surround Old Liu for a merciless staring contest.
The same thing happened again when Old Liu met Benben, and he almost got kicked out by the blood-sucking mosquitoes. It wasn't until the Blood Mosquito Queen herself came out to recognize him, looked left and right, and added a mental connection that she confirmed Old Liu's identity, dispersing these unrecognizable traitors. This made the originally proud Old Liu feel deeply saddened.
It's not just Lao Liu's trouble, facing the curious and inquiring Blood Mosquito Queen, who has been unable to figure out what happened to himself until now, Lao Liu is exhausted from responding, dodging left and right, and can't explain clearly. In the end, he can only use his "忽悠大法" (a way of speaking that is half true and half false) again, saying: "This is actually the effect of three growths. These three growths not only strengthened my abilities but also made me evolve physically. As for the specific situation, you'll know when you grow up. Believe me, I won't lie to you. By the way, if you follow that old man's advice, he knows a lot. If you study hard and learn what he teaches you, you can also evolve like me..."
The mentally immature Blood Mosquito Queen was deceived by Old Liu, and she really believed it. She shook her head and sent a message: "In the past few days, the things that human old man taught me have made my control over spiritual energy much more mature. I have a premonition that in these few days, my second growth is coming. It seems that I still need to find him to learn from him and ask for his guidance on evolution."
Although the Blood Mosquito Queen also had three growths, but in terms of cycle, it was much longer than ordinary blood mosquitoes. However, in terms of success rate and growth effect, it was also superior to ordinary blood mosquitoes. Therefore, until Old Liu grew into a sub-human, Benben waited for its second growth. This was a big event in the entire Blood Mosquito tribe, almost all blood mosquitoes began to get excited and agitated. Feeling the weak intentions transmitted from all directions, the joy from the heart made Old Liu's heart feel stuffy and sour during the growth process, with no one to take care of him, no one to encourage him, only a ruthless high priest accompanying him, he cursed: "You NND God, you are too unfair to me!"
At this time, the High Priest was estimated to have finished his busy work and dialed a call through the spiritual connection of the Heavenly Dragon to Old Liu, saying directly in Old Liu's consciousness: "Little guy, come over quickly. I have something to discuss with you."
