Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2724 Chapter 94: Curtain_3

The remainder, some are ordinary Barbarian Cultivators of the Danque Tribe who were saved.

And part of them are the Barbarian Slaves who surrendered to Dan Zhu.

Nearly one hundred and fifty are Barbarian Soldiers from the original Shugu Tribe.

They followed Dan Zhu, fought everywhere, and were impressed by Dan Zhu's valor and wisdom. They felt that charging in such a Young Master's command was a great honor, so they abandoned their identity as Shugu Tribe Barbarian Soldiers.

Of course, Iron Skill Bone here also played an "exemplary" role.

A Golden Core leader of the Shugu Wandering Tribe could join Young Master Dan Zhu, charge ahead, and devote himself to his duties.

What need ordinary Shugu Barbarian Soldiers care for?

Of course, they did not know; they misunderstood Iron Skill Bone, nor did they understand his inner fervent "loyalty."

Iron Skill Bone kept his bitterness silent.

The group thus left the Shugu Tribe's settled land.

Before leaving, Mo Hua turned back for a glance.

Famine and war were spreading.

The Shugu tribes he wanted to save but couldn't, wished to give them an equal future but were entangled in selfish desires, fighting endlessly for power, wealth, and women. These tribes, polluted by the miasma of famine, began a descent into cannibalism and finally madness and destruction...

Some deaths are inevitable.

It's not always that you wish to save someone that you can save them.

Mo Hua looked at the tragic cannibalism before him, and slowly the disappointment in his heart faded, his eyes becoming dark and tranquil.

That tranquility, however, was tinged with a tinge of indifference.

To have respect yet indifference for the fate of certain living creatures.

Mo Hua turned his head, leaving it all behind, and continued forward.

...

The road ahead remained challenging.

The extent of the famine spread was greater than Mo Hua had thought, and the chaos of the Great Wilderness was also more widespread than expected.

The group marched grandly towards the Danque Main Department, inevitably encountering various dangers and many unexpected events along the way.

There were treacherous terrains, and miasma laced with the air of famine.

There were frenzied Monster Beasts, crazed for flesh.

Desperate, crazed, almost like zombies Barbarian Cultivators were met.

Entire tribes had become bloody Evil Cultivitor puppets of the "Evil God."

And some, seizing the opportunity to start wars, sought to expand their influence and plunder slaves, the main forces of the large tribes.

Among these large tribe forces, some feared the Danque Tribe and dared not offend Dan Zhu; some saw Dan Zhu's forces as formidable and dared not act rashly; others gave Dan Zhu face and stayed at peace.

But such "sensible" ones were indeed the minority.

More in this chaotic scene saw Dan Zhu and were seized by a killing frenzy, wishing to stifle this rare millennium genius in the cradle.

Thus Dan Zhu, all the way, was beset by pursuit and assassination, marked by peril.

Mo Hua would divine a reading each morning to assess Dan Zhu's fate.

Hardly a day showed an "auspicious" sign; most were "peaceful," "minor misfortune," "moderate misfortune," etc.

Yet despite this, the journey forward had to continue.

Mo Hua could only decide the routes based on the divinations to lead Dan Zhu towards fortune and away from misfortune, trying to ensure his survival.

Occasionally encountering a few "great misfortune" readings, Mo Hua would even have everyone camp in place until the signs shifted from misfortune to fortune or at least to "minor misfortune," before setting off again.

Consequently, along the way, Mo Hua invisibly helped Dan Zhu avoid many risks.

Though Dan Zhu didn't fully understand, he could faintly perceive that "Mr. Witch" exhausted himself and took painstaking efforts for his safety, feeling deeply moved.

Barbarian General Chi Feng was also profoundly impressed by the "divinely accurate predictions" of Lord Shaman.

Yet Mo Hua's "divinations" faced issues after a few days.

No matter how he divined, the results were all "great misfortune," three consecutive days with no change. The ominous omen lingered.

This indicated that if they continued forward, Dan Zhu would face an extremely severe life-and-death crisis.

Mo Hua frowned, puzzled, and had Chi Feng accompany him to scout ahead for a look.

They walked for half a day with no significant issue until they arrived at the entrance of a valley.

Finding it strange, Mo Hua had Chi Feng stay put, and he concealed himself, venturing a bit deeper.

Climbing over barren mountain ridges, he looked up to see banners of bone poles standing prominently amid the concealing mountains, adorned with pitch-black vicious birds:

Bi Fang Birds.

These were people of the Bi Fang Tribe, and in large numbers.

Mo Hua took a view and noticed the entire valley, and many nearby mountains were filled with Bi Fang Tribe Barbarian Soldiers.

These Barbarian Soldiers, donned in the blue-feathered black-plumed Barbarian Armor of the Bi Fang, without exception, were elite.

They were the main force Barbarian Soldiers at the "Main Department" level of the Bi Fang Tribe.

Among them, Barbarian Generals at the Golden Core Realm, Mo Hua's Divine Sense lightly swept, uncovering no fewer than ten.

Mo Hua's heart tightened.

No wonder...

Main Department Barbarian Soldiers sealing the mountains, Golden Core Barbarian Generals encircling and annihilating.

This, indeed, was "great misfortune" for Dan Zhu, possibly even a "certain death" scenario.

As soon as Dan Zhu's six hundred-strong forces entered Bi Fang Tribe's view, they would instantly be detected.

Large-scale confrontations between Taoist Soldiers and Barbarian Soldiers differ from individual cultivator duels.

Without "concealment" methods, forces numbering tens to hundreds or thousands on approaching would surely detect each other.

By that time, it would be too late to flee.

The sides would have no choice but to clash head-on.

The Bi Fang Main Department's Barbarian Soldiers would charge from the valley, unleashing an overwhelmingly one-sided massacre on Dan Zhu's side.

The numerical disparity was too significant.

Attempting to flee was futile, as in such moments, retreat would disrupt formations and expose backs to the enemy, resulting in greater casualties from trample and chaos.

Even if Dan Zhu managed to escape in the end, those Barbarian Soldiers who cast their lot with him, followed him on battles across the land, would surely be slaughtered to the last.

Mo Hua frowned.

The Bi Fang Main Department blocked all mountain paths, clearly intent on "intercepting and killing" Dan Zhu.

And that the Bi Fang Tribe could deploy Main Department forces on such a large scale to ambush a Young Master of another Third Grade Tribe.

This might also mean that the Great Wilderness was truly on the brink of "chaos."

With famine as the catalyst, a greater scale "tribal war" may just be about to unfold...
