Chapter 14. You Really Are Something! (Additional Reward)

Carly was afraid of bugs. She used to also be afraid of snakes, but after becoming a priest she was no longer afraid of snakes. In truth, it was not that she was not afraid of snakes, it was that she was not allowed to be afraid of them.

The giant creature that had appeared was feared by all barbarians.

There were two reasons why the barbarians would randomly bury the dead. One reason was because they did not have a fixed residence. The places they occasionally settled in were all empty areas cleared out with special medicinal powder, so naturally, no one could be buried underground.

The second reason was that it was a form of sacrifice.

The barbarians were in awe of and feared the creature. Its scientific name was the "Red Earth Worm" but the barbarians had named it "The Heir of Sinlos."

The barbarians were uneducated. They didn't know what Sinlos was at first, but they heard from the humans that the name meant 'Destroyer of Worlds' and thought it sounded super awesome and scary, so they used it.

In the barbarians' culture, Sinlos was a worm with an infinite appetite. How did it destroy worlds?

It was very simple, by eating.

It devoured all things and would continue to devour the land. The cycle of the four seasons was also related to Sinlos. It slept in spring because the climate was too warm. It slept soundly in the summer because the surface was too hot, while the underground was cool. Because of the lower temperature in autumn, it woke up and then moved around in the winter.

Why was there nothing on the ground in winter? Sinlos had eaten all the plant roots, causing the surface of the earth to be bare.

Of course, this was far from enough. Sooner or later, Sinlos would eat everything on the ground, including them. So all dead people would be a sacrifice to Sinlos.

As for the insect just now, it was seen as the Heir of Sinlos. Sooner or later, the real Sinlos would burst out of the ground and devour the world.

The barbarians were afraid of the "Heir of Sinlos". They trembled at the sight of them, probably afraid of being eaten. Coupled with her fear of bugs, the fact that Carly was not paralyzed with fear was a sign of courage.

Char could not be bothered to comfort her. He grabbed her hand and clasped his palms together, clamping her hand between them.

"Slap"

Carrie suddenly woke up.

"Your Excellency, the enemy's priest has been killed. Take this opportunity to turn the situation around!"

Only then did Carly come back to her senses. With a flash of gratitude in her eyes, she immediately turned to the barbarians kneeling on the ground and shouted, "Despicable, shameful, and foolish attackers from the Gray Wing Tribe! Your priest is dead! Even his contracted beast has been devoured by Sinlos. Now, use your remaining courage and glory to offer your blood and heads to the brave Black Mamba Tribe warriors!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a huge shadow appeared behind her.

It was the same "Nether Hunter" that she had used to chase Char yesterday, but this time, the shadow did not have any weapons. Instead, it was expanding like a balloon.

There were only about 30 people left from the Gray Wing Tribe. All of them were injured, but they could still fight. However, after seeing the shadow behind Carly, they lost their courage and killed themselves with their curved swords.

Blood once again covered the ground.

This was also the practice of the barbarians. When they launched a raid outside their hunting grounds, they were bound to mobilize all their forces. If they were completely defeated, no matter how many people were left, they would have to use their blood to exchange for the lives of the women and children in their village. If they did not do so, the enemy priest would use their blood as a guide to find their village and kill the remaining women and children.

If they did, the women and children would survive and join the victorious tribe as refugees on equal terms.

This was both an obligation and a responsibility. Not to mention, they had also witnessed the terrifying power of Sinlos and the opposing priest.

As uneducated barbarians, they believed that the bigger the person was, the more powerful they would be. The shadow behind Carly could probably kill a few people with a single slap, which made death even more justified. The invaders died. Many of the Black Mamba Tribe's own people had died as well. The cries that had once been suppressed began.

"Wipe off your tears and embrace the remaining warriors. Then, serve them well!" Carly immediately shouted.

The sounds of crying immediately reduced, and even the child held back their tears.

Seeing that they had started to clean up the mess, Char gave some instructions to Carly before walking to Chakong and dragging him by the neck into the grass. If Chakong knew that they had failed, he would not hesitate to 'follow' them, so Char could not let him know for now.

He had previously used warlock's spell "Fear of the Mind " to simulate a Wolf's roar and scared the guy, which was how he subdued him. The information provided by the other party had to be worth the sacrifice.

Char slapped Chakong twice to wake him up. Seeing that it was a stranger in front of him, he jumped up with a cry, the muscles on his arms bulging.

An invisible chain grabbed Chakong. The mysterious power forced him to swallow his vulgarities.

"Your priest is dead. Your people are dead. You have failed."

Chakong was stunned at first, then he started shouting like a madman, mixed with barbarian vulgarities.

"Ptui!"

He even spat, but Char dodged it and slapped him in the face, knocking out a tooth.

"I'm not much weaker than your priests. If you want to live, answer my questions obediently, or I'll make you watch as the Black Mamba Tribe takes over your village." Char threatened.

Chakong's eyes turned red. Letting him live was the greatest insult!

Since they had failed in their raid this time, the next step would be a search for their village under the leadership of the opposing priest to capture the women and children.

If he was still alive by then and was seen, the rest of his people would think that he was a coward, a traitor, an ugly betrayer. His children would never be able to lift their heads up, and his wife would be seen as a woman who was lower than livestock. The men of the Black Mamba Tribe would not want to touch her.

He was panting heavily, his eyes red.

"You, what do you want to ask?"

"Who organized this operation? How did you know how to find this tribe? Why are you cooperating with the Heir of Sinlos?"

When Chakong heard the name "Sinlos," he shivered.

"It... it was High Priest Harold. He did it. The civilized people from Mephisto gave him some powder, saying that it could attract that thing. It would make Lupus (Wolf), Ique (horse), and Kwa (deer) afraid. To deal with these tribes that rely on livestock to move it was very good, very strong. He will let our Aquila (Eagle) roam the sky and look for a target to attack."

Char suddenly understood.

The United Holy Kingdom had given some resources to the tribes of the grasslands, and they had been very specific.

For example, the Black Mamba Tribe was good at seduction, so they were given the "Give Uup Resistance" potion. The Gray Wing Tribe was good at tracking and had eyes in the sky, so they were given a potion to block the way.

If they used the potion to attract the Heir of Sinlos the livestock would not dare to move forward, which would definitely attract the attention of the priests.

A priest's perception was similar to a mage's, but the medium used was different. This way, the worms underground could consume the perception of the priests and lock them in at the same time, making them unable to participate in the battle for a short time. Launching an invasion at this time was basically a certainty.

The United Holy Kingdom was something else...
