Chapter 453: Beast God Sacrificial Rite

Huang Xiaolong and the beastmen had traveled for half an hour into the unearthly atmosphere of the grove.

As they reached deeper into the forest grove, the air grew increasingly colder, with faint echoes of undulating shrill cries of unknown creatures playing with their hearing.

Although Amier and the large group of beastmen kept close to Huang Xiaolong, those eerie cries brought goosebumps to the burly beastmen.

“Malignant spirits!”

“Those are malignant spirits!”

Suddenly, one of the beastmen screamed in fear.

Everyone quickly looked around and saw several strange creatures that were part transparent part opaque shaped like human soul and glowing green eyes pounced on their group with bared fangs.

Just when Amier and the beastmen were about to attack in panic, Huang Xiaolong was a step ahead of them; with a simple wave of his wrist, bright flames flickered past, and in an instant, those ghastly spirits were incinerated into plumes of mist,

The beastmen were dumbstruck watching this scene.

Those wandering spirits were hard to kill, having no real body made of flesh and blood, the spirits weren’t afraid of any swords or knives. The Patriarch of their tribe was once besieged by two wandering spirits and a few hours of back-breaking battle ensued before their Patriarch was able to kill those wandering spirits and leave the grove, whereas this young human expert merely struck out a light palm and several wandering spirits were vanquished!

“Let’s move on.” Huang Xiaolong said and continued moving.

Amier and the rest hurried after Huang Xiaolong.

A short while later, they ran into another group of wandering spirits, and this time Huang Xiaolong’s action was even more exaggerated, or lack of action. He didn’t even raise his hand, merely with a single glance, those lunging wandering spirits burned in midair, leaving a small cluster of mist.

Half a day later, when they made it out of the Roaming Souls Grove, the way Amier and the rest of the beastmen looked at Huang Xiaolong changed in an earth-shattering manner. If it was awe before, now it was feverish reverence, showing utmost respect toward Huang Xiaolong.

One hour later, the group reached Hundred Tiger City.

At first glance, the Hundred Tiger City could be described with one word, huge, even rivaling some of Snow Wind Continent’s imperial cities.

People, or beastmen to be exact, were seen coming and going in every direction, a sign of the city’s prosperity.

But Huang Xiaolong’s large group drew odd stares from all around, it wasn’t every day that the beastmen saw a puny human walking in front of a group of several hundred beastmen that were showing deference. The surrounding beastmen were unable to shift their gaze away from this strange scene.

“Hehe, isn’t this Amier?” At this time, a team of a dozen beastmen walked up to Amier’s group from the front. The one who spoke was a young cat-like beastmen reaching two and a half meters tall.

“Amier, I see your life has really gone to the dogs!” The young beastman snickered, “As a powerful beastmen, how can you follow behind a puny human, not to mention that loathful fawning expression on your face, worse than the worst dog slave!”

The several beastmen behind the young beastman laughed brashly.

“Insolent!” Amier strode out in anger, and struck a punch at the young beastman: “Collins, how dare you disrespect the Lord!”

Collins didn’t expect that Amier would attack him all of a sudden. Though startled, he still managed to raise an arm up in defense, but he failed to muster enough strength to block the attack. Staggering back, Collins felt a throbbing pain in his arm.

“How dare you!” Collins yelled, “Amier, have you gone nuts!”

Both Collins and Amier had exchanged tit-for-tat many times in the past, but Amier had never been brave enough to get physical with him, after all, his big brother was the tribe’s chief captain.

Today, for an insignificant human, Amier actually attacked him!

Amier glared coldly at him, “Collins, get on your knees now and beg the Lord for forgiveness!”

Collins was dumbfounded as he stared at Amier in disbelief.

Amier wanted him to kneel down and beg for forgiveness… from a human?!
