Chapter 270: New Symbiont

Tai Lien!

Xikalius stepped forward, embraced the Makuragge who opened the door, and enthusiastically patted his back—thump, thump—causing Tai Lien's blood to surge and his eyes to roll white.

Ji Li Man is above!

Tai Lien not only didn't get angry, but exclaimed with delight, "What a great power, Xikalius, have you ascended to Legend?" His eyes were full of astonished doubt, constantly scanning his own tribe.

Hehe, yes. Xikalius proudly flaunted his steel‑solid muscles, "Ao Tuo and I have both ascended to Legend."

And Ao Tuo? Tai Lien's eyes bulged round.

Makuragge are born with immense strength, brave and combative; their talent ranks among the top three of all barbarians, but after losing the gods' protection, Makuragge finding the Legend rank became especially difficult.

In a thousand years, the tribe has never simultaneously possessed three Legends.

Usually there is only one Legend, inevitably the chieftain, also the tribe's strongest warrior.

Tai Lien looked at the other two Makuragge, quickly noticing they too had changed, subtly stronger than himself, "Ge Long, Ji Te Er… your transformation is huge, I almost didn't recognize you. What on earth is happening?"

The three Extreme Warriors' gazes all fell on Lei En.

This is all because of the boss, Xikalius whispered, "Tai Lien, let me introduce you: this is our boss Ryan Augustus, also the original body we selected."

Original body!

Tai Lien turned pale with shock; the symbiotic original body talent is Makuragge's greatest secret. Within the tribe, few ever use this talent, and even when choosing an original body, they usually pick the chieftain.

In Makuragge history, an outsider original body has never appeared.

Never mind humans.

Tai Lien couldn't help observing Lei En; even by human standards, Lei En's build isn't among the strongest—just a bit taller and sturdier than ordinary people—yet to Makuragge he appears too frail, too short, even shorter than a tribe child under ten.

Lei En was also watching with his soul eye.

This Makuragge called Tai Lien is quite strong, equivalent to an eighth‑rank Superhuman, a step above Xikalius, who last year had not yet become a symbiont.

He has over a dozen Elements in his soul; his strength and constitution are extremely robust.

However, what intrigued Lei En was that Tai Lien possesses several unusual Elements: besides the common "Sharp Sight", "Precise Throw" that all Makuragge have, he also has "Dexterous Hand", "Lightning Reflex", "Wind‑Listening Art" and "Focused Breath".

Combined, these Elements form a terrifying Divine Archer talent!

Tai Lien must have mastered an exceptionally advanced spear‑throwing art; give him a heavy machine gun and he would surely outshine the other Extreme Warriors.

This Makuragge is a perfect match for a machine gun!

Ryan Augustus… Tai Lien furrowed his brows, as if he had heard the name somewhere but couldn't recall.

He was about to ask more, but Xikalius pushed him inside, "We'll talk inside."

Entering the courtyard, a group of towering Makuragge appeared, each about 2.2 m tall, some reaching 2.3 m, all wielding heavy weapons—great swords, war hammers, massive axes—and forming a formation around the gate, ready to fight.

Seeing that a tribe member entered, one quickly lowered his weapon and shouted, "Xikalius!"

Ge Long…

Ma Li Te!

Ba He Si Ka!

A group of Makuragge shouted enthusiastically, hugging each other, slapping chests and backs so loudly that the ground shook; the harder they slapped, the happier they seemed, like brothers of one family.

Lei En stood at the side, scanning each Makuragge with his soul eye.

In total there were eighteen, three or four fewer than Xikalius had mentioned—perhaps some were out or had an accident. Each Makuragge's strength was at least that of a Mid‑stage Superhuman, above rank four. Three of them reached High‑stage, the seventh‑rank Superhuman, comparable to last year's Ao Tuo.

Of course, the strongest was still Tai Lien.

After the Makuragge leader entered, he kept watching Lei En while pondering, then suddenly slapped his head and shouted, "I remember!"

His shout instantly drew all the Makuragge over.

Tai Lien stared dumbfounded at Lei En, exclaiming in surprise, "You are the Earl of Glamorgan, the Ryan Augustus who, half a year ago at Weizelan's Fu Kong Cheng, led a dozen Extreme Warriors to block the onslaught of tens of thousands of Undead Army!"

So you have heard my name, Lei En nodded with a smile.

Hearing Lei En's acknowledgment, Tai Lien found it even more unbelievable; he looked at the three Xikalius, "You are the Extreme Warriors?"

Hahaha…

Xikalius patted his shoulder, then faced the tribe and proudly declared, "Every Extreme Warrior is one of our Makuragge!"

Ji Li Man is above…

The Makuragge shouted in unison.

The disaster at Weizelan's Fu Kong Cheng half a year ago has already spread throughout the Empire; the Earl of Glamorgan's name is known, and the Extreme Warriors have risen to fame as well.

But few know the details of the Extreme Warriors.

People only heard that they seem to be barbarians, wielding a unique soul‑gun weapon invented by Holy Soul Wizard Anxiwodasi, which makes them so powerful.

Now hearing the tribe say it themselves, everyone's blood boiled, and they wondered why such a huge change occurred.

Brothers!

Xikalius's expression grew solemn as he shouted, "Ao Tuo and I have already ascended to Legend; the other eleven brothers in Mo Du are also on the brink of breaking through to Legend. I believe it won't be long—when the chance is right, they too will become Legendary Warriors!"

Legend!

The Makuragge erupted in a roar; the tribe had only one Legend, the chieftain, and now two more appeared. How many years has the tribe gone without such prosperity?

Tai Lien also felt yearning, but he was no longer young; the Legend was still far away.

Xikalius continued, "And the origin of all this is that we used the talent, choosing the boss as the original body."

"You still don't know the boss's greatness."

"He can grant us terrifying amplification; once we become his symbionts, our power at least doubles, our bodies become indestructible. With each battle, our strength grows—the fiercer the fight, the more enemies we slay, the stronger we become."

"Moreover, the boss forged the Lambo Spear for us, a weapon perfectly suited to Makuragge."

"Believe me, once the brothers get the Lambo Spear, they'll fall in love with it!"

"This time the boss will also return with us to our homeland, bringing abundant supplies, ready to eliminate our high‑plateau enemies in one stroke, so we never have to worry about our families' safety again, nor scramble to earn money to support the tribe's war."

Xikalius spared no effort in promoting the benefits of becoming an Extreme Warrior to the tribe.

He had followed Lei En for more than half a year and knew Lei En's future very clearly.

Although Lei En never spoke of it and gave no explanation, he was fully aware that this human's potential was simply incalculable.

Lei En was not even second to the legendary heroes of history; he was even stronger.

Especially for the Makurag people, he was like a savior from the heavens, and his aid to the whole tribe could be greater than Ji Li Man's.

He did not know how Lei En managed to make his own and his brothers' strength grow so rapidly.

But he was certain that the Makurag people must seize this once‑in‑a‑thousand‑years chance, rise again, and leave a great story of Extreme Warriors in Ai Lun E Si!

The other two Extreme Warriors, Ge Long and Ji Te Er, also kept nodding and voiced their assent. With three successful role models before them, the Makurag people on the spot were all moved.

Lei En saw that they were still hesitating, especially the leader Tai Li En, whose emotions were fluctuating wildly, so he decided to give them a push.

He did not demonstrate his own power; instead, he produced a Lambo's spear and tossed it to Tai Li En.

"You can give it a try."

Tai Li En took the machine gun, and the instant his hand touched the barrel, he sensed a distinct feeling; the weapon in his hand seemed custom‑made for him, even his soul trembled with excitement.

He had waited for decades, as if that moment of receiving the machine gun was what he had been waiting for.

With Xi Ka Liu Si's help, Tai Li En mastered the firing technique in just half a minute, barrel pointing skyward, tatata—several gunshots—sending the few bullets in the magazine flying.

Because there was no ammo box attached, the bullets were spent in an instant.

Tai Li En closed his eyes, savoring every nuance of the shot, his face filled with an indescribable emotion. When he opened his eyes again, without any hesitation he said decisively, "Boss, please let me become your symbiont."
