337 Guarding a Crazy Person (1/2)
He had seen how proud these warriors of the plains are. If the Blackwind Tribe's warriors are just as proud, they would not have sent the signal for help unless the situation was absolutely dire.
'It seems a lot of people are going to die during this Bone Calamity.' Leon mused with a depressed sigh.
As the culprit who caused the Bone Calamity, the death of every warrior during the Bone Calamity is directly related to him.
His luck was bad enough after starting the Bone Calamity. He cannot imagine how much it will get after his karmic sin piles up from the death toll.
While Leon was lamenting over his misfortunate and grim future, the Darkmoon Tribe's warriors on the battlefield also began to notice the Blackwind Tribe's signal for help in the distant southwestern skies one after another.
Anything brightly lit in the skies of this dark lands is like the candle flames in the darkness; it was just too easy to spot.
”Everyone, look! That's the signal for help!” A warrior shouted while he was drenched in sweat, riddled with bloody wounds, and locked in a contest of strength against a Bone Knight.
”This direction… it's coming from the Blackwind Tribe! The Blackwind Tribe is calling for help!”
The momentary distraction caused not only the warrior but many others to suffer an extra wound on their bodies, but no one blamed that warrior. The discovery was just too alarming and shocking.
”Unbelievable! That proud Blackwind Tribe actually did?! They were always hit the hardest and suffered heavy casualties in the past Bone Calamities, but they had never called for help before! The situation must be absolutely dire over there!”
”With our present situation, it is impossible to send any reinforcement to back up the Blackwind Tribe! I am afraid the Blackwind Tribe is finished! It is only the first day! Once the Blackwind Tribe falls, we will be hit with the next wave!”
”We won't be able to send help, but the Crimsonfog Tribe might be able to! I hate to admit it, but they are the strongest of our three tribes! If they send help, the Blackwind Tribe will definitely be saved!”
”Don't place your hopes on it. The Crimsonfog Tribe might be the strongest, but they have their hands full guarding the Death Passage!”
As the warriors entered a furious discussion as much as they were hacking and chopping down Bone Demons, Leon was able to pick some interesting information.
It appeared that while the human tribes were divided, there were also alliances between some of them. For instance, there was a total of seven tribes living near the Black Swamp that entered an alliance.
A more interesting point was the 'Death Passage' mentioned by the warriors, but it was unfortunate that the warrior did not go into detail.
'It seems I can only try to fish for more information after I help the Darkmoon Tribe overcome the Bone Calamity.' Leon mused.
He had not forgotten why he came to the dark land, but he should not waste the chance to learn more about the overall situation of the dark lands and the demons.
Suddenly, he turned his gaze towards the eastern side and picked up the wild laughter of a Great Warrior echoing from the battlefield over there.
”Bahahaha! Finally, dead for good!” Sabertooth laughed wildly.
After killing the Bone King many times, the Bone King was finally laid to rest on the cold, rocky ground with its skull detached from the rest of its body.
Bang!
Sabertooth stomped down hard and crushed the Bone King's skull into countless fragments beneath his feet.
The warriors were briefly taken aback by the powerful and vigorous aura that Great Warrior Sabertooth exuded as they saw his moderately long hair danced wildly in the wind.
”This commanding presence... it's much more powerful than the past! Big Brother Sabertooth has broken through to the High-rank Great Warrior Realm!”
”No, he has not broken through yet! But he will soon!”
At that moment, a tremendous change was taking place within Great Warrior Sabertooth's body. The Bone King's raw energy was refined by his Soul Weapon and soon transferred to his body.
Under normal circumstances, Darkness Profound Energy was genuinely harmful to living beings, which was still the case for Darkmoon Tribe's warriors.
However, under their unique body cultivation method, they were able to control the damage caused by Darkness Profound Energy to temper their own bodies.
While Sabertooth was breaking through, he had his perception of the outside world shut off. The surrounding warriors quickly realized that the Great Warrior had left himself utterly defenseless for his breakthrough to a higher rank.
”Oh, no! Big Brother Sabertooth is too focused on his breakthrough! Quickly protect him!” A warrior cried.
A wide gap was created during the battle between Sabertooth and the Bone King. But after the Bone King fell, the Bone Soldiers and Bone Knights immediately started closing the gap to attack Sabertooth.
