BXBX NOVEL Chapter 74: Wolves Riders
Patience and mobilization are essential before any battle.
At the Crimson Star Tribe camp.
The opening of the market and the establishment of the Adventurer's Association had injected new vitality into this already thriving tribe. Every day, various tribe members took on tasks to earn Crimson Star coins, which they used to buy food and daily necessities.
However, Gene, the priest of the Giant Bear Tribe, had something else on his mind.
In a wooden house not far from the camp.
Gene, Lester, and several other priests from different tribes gathered together. They looked at each other and whispered, finally turning to Gene and asking, "Priest Gene, why did you summon us?"
Gene responded with a mysterious smile and asked, "Have you seen the latest dangerous-level task announcement?"
Hearing this, their faces changed instantly.
One of them asked, "Is it about the Plata Plain?"
Gene nodded. "That's right! It's that one! As long as we eliminate the invaders of Plata Plain and accumulate enough rewards, we can become the tribe's warriors. I think you would be very interested, right?"
Many understood Gene's intention and did not oppose it.
Someone then asked, "What do you plan to do? The Plata Plain tribe is not easy to deal with."
Gene revealed a mysterious smile and said, "I have a plan!"
...
While Gene and his group were preparing to take on the task and cause trouble for the Mpondo Tribe in Plata Plain, Enzo was also busy experimenting with the other abilities of the Scepter of the Barren Mountain.
"Almost there."
Enzo muttered to himself, then infused the scepter with totem power.
A wave of aqua-blue light swept across the entire tribe's camp, but no one noticed it. This light wave did not cause any harm. It served only one purpose: detection.
If any strangers appeared around the camp, the scepter would issue a warning.
That greatly enhanced the camp's security.
At that moment, Amy, Tia, and Clara approached Enzo together.
Amy was the first to speak, her expression serious. "Lord Enzo, many people from the Adventurer's Association have already taken on the task of eliminating the Mpondo Tribe."
Clara suggested, "We can make our move now."
Enzo frowned and did not immediately agree. Instead, he asked, "How is Neville doing? This is the first battle the jungle has faced outward, and it's crucial not only for the development of the Crimson Star Tribe but also for the entire jungle!"
Amy reported, "Neville has already set up an outpost camp at the edge. Everything is ready."
Enzo then smiled and said, "Well done!"
He then instructed Tia and Clara to count the combat personnel and head to the outpost camp.
...
Meanwhile.
At Plata Plain in the Mpondo Tribe.
Chief Reg was both furious and uneasy.
He muttered angrily, "What's going on? Why hasn't that bitch Willa come back yet? This isn't right... Could she be in danger?"
Despite his conflicts with Willa, Reg had to admit that she was crucial to the Mpondo Tribe.
Unfortunately, no one could answer Reg's concerns.
Next to him, Crue, the priest of the Chagga Tribe, took the opportunity to incite, "Chief Reg, if you keep delaying, what will you do if Lord Freya blames you? And if Captain Willa is really in trouble, I suggest you take the cavalry into the jungle to investigate."
Reg narrowed his eyes.
He appeared brutal and rough, but those who worked with him knew he had a keen sense of crisis.
This sensitivity was key to his rise as chief.
Therefore Reg felt Crue's ill intentions, he sneered, "Crue, you're a priest of the jungle tribes. Are you so eager to see the jungle fall?"
Crue responded with a forced smile, "Chief Reg, don't misunderstand me. It's just a suggestion."
He then fell silent.
After much contemplation, Reg finally decided to send another team into the jungle to look for Willa and the person Lord Freya sought.
In the plains, the Giant Bone Wolf was the undisputed king.
Their speed and strength allowed them to unleash devastating power in a crowd.
This formidable force was the backbone of Plata Plain's dominance.
However, the newly dispatched team of Giant Bone Wolf Riders was being watched. Gene lay prone on a small hill, asking Lester beside him, "Lester, what do you see?"
As a priest of the Flower Cat Tribe, Lester's priest inheritance power was farsight.
This ability allowed him to see extremely distant objects.
While farsight was limited in the jungle due to the dense trees and mountains, it was invaluable in the flat plains of Plata Plain.
Lester gazed into the distance, his voice filled with both excitement and unease. "They're coming! The Giant Bone Wolf Riders are coming!"
Gene asked, "How far?"
Lester estimated, "About five kilometers. At the speed of the Giant Bone Wolf Riders, they'll reach the edge of the jungle soon. But, can we really eliminate this squad of Giant Bone Wolf Riders?"
Gene retorted dismissively, "Why not?"
Upon receiving this information, Gene instructed a member of the Adventurer squad to head to the outpost camp and inform Neville. Such crucial intelligence could also bring rewards.
At the outpost camp, Neville received the news and promptly informed Enzo.
He expressed his concerns, "Lord Enzo, I think letting others meddle in the Plata Plain matter isn't a good plan. The arriving adventurer squad aren't even as strong as a single Giant Bone Wolf."
Enzo smiled and asked, "Neville, where do you think the difference between the jungle and Plata Plain lies?"
After a moment of hesitation, sensing that Enzo wasn't in a reproachful mood, Neville boldly answered, "The tribe members of Plata Plain are taller and stronger. Most importantly, they have the Giant Bone Wolves!"
Enzo shook his head and said, "No, Neville, that is not the real difference."
He pointed at Neville, then at the other jungle tribe members in the camp. "The real difference is not the Giant Bone Wolf mounts, but the courage to fight! The tribes within the jungle have spent too much time in the jungle. They have the courage to face wild beasts, but when it comes to facing the tribes of Plata Plain, they fear the battle!"
Enzo smiled and continued, "That's why I killed the captain of the Giant Bone Wolf Riders in the marketplace, in front of everyone."
After speaking, Enzo left the camp and stood on a hill.
He didn't bring the Scepter of the Barren Mountain with him, but through numerous experiments, he discovered that as long as he wasn't too far from the scepter, he could still use its functions, which was highly convenient.
At this moment, he was sensing the status of Gene and his group.
Meanwhile, in the camp, Neville was deep in thought because of Enzo's words.
He muttered to himself, "Neville, you were once a mighty warrior. How did you lose the courage to face battle?"
Neville smiled self-deprecatingly and continued handling other matters.
Though his eyes now showed a new determination.
On the other side, after observing the appearance of the Giant Bone Wolf Riders, Gene immediately instructed everyone to prepare.
Their Adventurer squad consisted of five tribal priests and eight tribe warriors. This was a formidable force within the Crimson Star Tribe, but against the Giant Bone Wolf Riders, everyone except Gene lacked the confidence to win. However, they were unwilling to see their current way of life destroyed.
Other than fighting, they had no choice.
...
In Plata Plain.
The Giant Bone Wolf Riders were speeding swiftly. Just as they were about to reach the edge of the jungle, they abruptly stopped.
Standing before them was a men, Gene.
Even the confident Gene felt a surge of fear as he looked at the towering Giant Bone Wolves, but he forced himself to stay calm and shouted to the riders, "Stop! Outsiders are forbidden to enter the jungle!"
Hearing this, the Giant Bone Wolf Riders burst into laughter.
Their eyes were cruel as they mocked, "A monkey from the jungle tribes dares to block our way!"
No sooner had they spoken than the riders urged their Giant Bone Wolves to swat Gene away. Seeing Gene get thrown but quickly get back up, seemingly uninjured, they realized something was amiss.
An ordinary person would have been dead from such an attack!
"Capture him!"
The Giant Bone Wolf Rider shouted.
Gene turned and ran, using his formidable physique and priest inheritance powers to match the speed of the Giant Bone Wolves, though he couldn't maintain this pace for long.
Soon, at a small hill inside the jungle's edge, Gene was once again overtaken by the Giant Bone Wolf Riders.
A massive wolf paw struck him, sending him flying once more.
This time, Gene struggled to stand up.
But an excited smile appeared on his face. He shouted at the Giant Bone Wolf Riders, "Wolf pups of Plata Plain, taste the gift I've prepared for you!"
In the next instant, a dozen people emerged from the trees.
They quickly pulled up ropes woven from vines, with branches of poisonous plants entwined in the ropes. As the ropes were lifted, several Giant Bone Wolves were hoisted into the air, throwing the squad of Giant Bone Wolf Riders into chaos.
