Chapter 267: God Sprout (2/2)

It was precisely because the god sprouts were many that they mutually affected each other, eventually forming a bounded field that true gods would have a hard time sensing, firmly prying a chunk of the Western Continent from the eyes of the other gods.

Be that as it may, real gods of belief would fall to the threat of death once their believers vanished, let alone the god sprouts which didn’t even possess divinity.

That was why the god sprouts would instinctively retaliate against the enemy who caused the potential wipeout of their believers -in contrast, they wouldn’t care about their own believers as long as they didn’t all go extinct.

Even if the nonhumans were unaware of the existence of god sprouts, they would have a vague idea after living on the Vierlin Plains for almost a thousand years. Experience would allow them to theorize and categorize situations, hence developing rules for some of their tribes—as an example, the war between two tribes must stop at certain points, any hostility ceasing when the outcome was very much decided without a complete extinguishing of the enemy’s race.

That was why even weak nonhuman tribes such as the Long Ears could survive from ancient times until now.

And at the moment, the Mountain Tigers were in the dire straits of potential extinction.

Naturally, their god sprout would activate its automated defense mechanism and infuse itself as pure divine energy unto the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior, elevating him into an existence comparable to the Saints of other faiths!

Finally getting to the bottom of things, Xi Wei stroked himself with his tentacle at a spot where his chin should be: Since the god sprouts created a bounded field in the Vierlin Plains where the nonhumans dwelled and the other true gods had a hard time seeing what happened there, wouldn’t he be unnoticed even if he overdid things a little?

That being said, Xi Wei didn’t actually make a direct move in the end.

There were still many Players there who wouldn’t be dying off anytime soon anyway. Moreover, other players were all leaving aside what they were doing after receiving the urgent quest assignment and were headed in this direction, and would be reinforcing the current forces in half an hour.

It was not necessary for him to interfere directly for now. Observing and handling things according would work better in his favor.

“Die, bastard!” The Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior bellowed.Having become a pseudo-Saint and leaping up to Level 55-an equal footing with the Revived Nightstalker, punching out at the Nightstalker even before it could wake up!

The massive blood wings behind the Nightstalker immediately branched out, shaping a shield and attempting to guard against the blow, only to be punched through by the fist which then landed directly on the Nightstalker’s face, sending him flying out of the ancestral hall!

Like a stone skipping over water, the Revived Nightstalker bounced a few times over the ground and only stopped when it crashed into a wooden hut.

His whole face was punched inside, his chin punched into a tilted, horrific angle.

But the Players weren’t optimistic, however. Only a tiny bit-a twentieth of the Nightstalker’s HP bar, in fact—was punched away.

And even as the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior gave chase and tried to press his attack, a rain of blood started to pour down from the skies.

At first, the Players all assumed that the rain would be poisonous or erosive, and prepared to counter in return-only to realize that nothing was happening.

However, it was the stagnating blood water on the ground that began to squirm, shaping into bloody creatures of abnormal forms that charged towards the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior and the Players!
