Chapter 540: The Beast Race Caught in a Dilemma

Where the Beast Race and Demons are at war.

Wali looks at the 5 remaining Beast Race Priests before him, his expression extremely gloomy.

"High Priest, those Two-legged Sheep are truly too arrogant. Taking advantage of our battle with the Demons, they ran out to occupy our land and slaughter our clansmen. Furthermore, the humans in the Ninth Defense Zone have also begun to run rampant in our territory! Killing our clansmen!

Now that human troops from two defense zones have converged on our territory, this is a naked provocation!

High Priest, I request to lead two ten-thousand-man squads plus a one-thousand-man Runic Automatic Artillery Squad to go and slaughter those Two-legged Sheep troops!"

A Beast Race Priest speaks to Wali with grief and indignation about the situation emerging in the rear.

"Chuannada! In this situation, how can you take so many troops to deal with the Two-legged Sheep troops in the rear!"

Another Beast Race Priest thumps his staff against the ground, rebuking Chuannada with righteous indignation, then bows to Wali and says.

"High Priest, I only need one ten-thousand-man squad! I can annihilate those Two-legged Sheep!"

"What is one ten-thousand-man squad enough to do?"

Chuannada's eyes are practically spitting fire as he stares fixedly at his colleague.

"Are you an idiot? Those Two-legged Sheep dared to come out, so they must have something to rely on! What is one ten-thousand-man squad enough for you to do?!"

"Chuannada, I've tolerated you for a long time! You are really a ****, I will ****, your **'s **, ***!"

"Well, you ** of a **, I am really ****, you are just ****."

The two start spraying each other face-to-face at the slightest disagreement, foul-smelling saliva splattering everywhere, accidentally hitting the other three Beast Race Priests.

Seeing that the scale of the spit-war is about to expand, Wali lets out a cold snort, causing the five Beast Race Priests to quiet down.

"The Demons' attacks are becoming increasingly fierce, yet the Great Demon on the opposite side has yet to appear, and we only have 5 Priests left! Tell me! What is this situation! Look into my eyes!"

As Wali speaks, he slams his right hand hard onto the bone table beside him, the Two-legged Sheep bones shattering with the sound, forcing the five Beast Race Priests to look at Wali.

"Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Let me tell you! The Two-legged Sheep can be dealt with at any time! But! If the Demon Race is not dealt with, it will make our disadvantage increasingly obvious! Now tell me, who still wants to go deal with the Two-legged Sheep troops!"

The five Beast Race Priests lower their heads one after another and answer in unison.

"We will remain here to fight the Demons! High Priest!"

The torches inside the tent suddenly sway violently, and an ominous tremor comes from the ground.

Wali's right eye twitches slightly; that is the signal that the Demons have launched an attack.

"Report!"

A blood-covered Beast Race messenger bursts into the tent and kneels on the ground to say to Wali.

"The... Totem Pillar of the Fourth Front Line has gone out!"

The Beast Race messenger takes out a Rune Stone; the Rune representing the Defense Barrier is dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The five Priests' breathing becomes heavy at the same time—being able to quickly break through the Runic Defense Array of the Fourth Front Line means the Demons must have deployed a large force this time! At least 4 Demon General-level Demons!

Priest Salu drags his staff across the ground with a harsh sound and says in a very serious tone.

"We must immediately send Blood Rune warriors to reinforce!"

"Blood Rune warriors? Now? How great a price does it take to cultivate each Blood Rune warrior! Let the Runic warriors go instead!"

"Runic warriors can handle low-level lesser demons, but against elite-level Demons, they simply cannot fight one against many! Blood Rune warriors are the best choice!"

Wali's fingertips rub the Two-legged Sheep Bone Horn at his waist. This holy artifact, made from twelve Two-legged Sheep skulls, is burning hot, indicating that for this Demon offensive, that Great Demon might have come as well!

"Quiet."

Wali's voice causes these Beast Race Priests, who were preparing to argue again, to fall silent once more.

"Pass the order."

Wali raises his right hand to his lips, his gaze sweeping coldly over the five Beast Race Priests.

"Blood sacrifice 163 Two-legged Sheep, summon the War Colossus!"

The youngest priest, Geluoshi, suddenly looks up: "But the War Colossus will..."

"There's no time to worry about that much!"

Wali bares his mouth, revealing his sharp Liaya.

"When the Shenyuan devours the earth, I want to let the Demons know—the fury of the Beast Race! Let them know the consequences of angering the Beast Race!"

On the battlefield, as the fourth line of defense is breached by the Demons, the Beast Race once again falls into a passive position.

In the Demon Territory, the Great Demon Hudaiqiao watches as the Beast Race continues to commit troops to resist, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile, exposing his full set of sharp teeth.

Hudaiqiao's right-hand Claw scrapes across his pitch-black Armor, and he says in a flippant tone.

"Interesting, truly very interesting! I wonder how the Beast Race side plans to deal with this attack?"

Beast Race soldiers drag Two-legged Sheep with barbed iron chains to the Sacrificial Altar; Chuannada's nose twitches, smelling a heavy, foul odor—it is the bronze shackles engraved with incantations corroding the skin and flesh of the Two-legged Sheep.

Hundreds of Two-legged Sheep are driven onto the Altar; these Two-legged Sheep look around with vacant eyes, awaiting their unknown fate.

The Bone Pillar in the center of the Altar suddenly lights up with ghostly blue flames, and Blood Runes light up one by one on the Bone Pillar.

As Priest Chuannada uses a Runic Dagger to slit the throat of a kneeling Two-legged Sheep, the Blood Runes carved on the blade suck up the splashing blood beads.

"With blood as the guide!"

The five Priests' Adam's apples bob simultaneously, and the incantations they chant condense into materialized blood-colored characters in the air.

The humans whose throats were slit do not die immediately; their tracheas emit "he-he" wheezing sounds, and their pupils reflect the blood gushing from their own wounds.

That blood defies gravity, flowing backward along the grooves of the Altar, outlining a squirming Visceral Totem within the Reverse Pentagram Pattern.

When the 10th Two-legged Sheep cub is nailed alive to the top of the pillar, a roar of grinding giant stones comes from beneath the earth; the moment the War Colossus's bone claws pierce through the spatial barrier, the eyeballs of all the living Two-legged Sheep burst simultaneously.

Wali's Liaya pierces his own tongue, and his blood writes the final Rune in the void.

This Rune flies toward the top of the Sacrificial Altar, overlapping with the Visceral Totem.

A powerful surge of energy converges with the Visceral Totem as its center, and strands of blood adhere to the surrounding blood-stained clumps of earth.

Soon, a colossus over 20 meters tall, black and red all over, possessing the silhouette of the Beast Race, appears; the powerful pressure causes the surrounding airflow to become chaotic.

"Salu, you come and control the War Colossus to reverse the situation of the war!"

"Yes, High Priest!"

Salu put down the cane in his hand, sliced open his own palm, and the bright red blood flew toward the Visceral Totem of the War Colossus; following this, Salu could freely control the actions of the War Colossus.

"Boom!"

When the War Colossus appeared on the battlefield, its every attack would take away the lives of a large swath of lesser demons; for a time, Black Qi rose continuously on the battlefield.
