He looked up at the sky and let out a long howl, calling for support from the indigenous warriors at the main camp.

Trapped here and under siege, he appeared very calm, but inside he was quite panicked. In such a situation, if a human expert was lurking in the shadows, he would be doomed.

His current thought was to first break free from the bondage of the light chain, and discuss other matters once he was no longer trapped.

"He's calling for support, quickly kill him," Hong Chu's voice reached everyone's ears.

Jiu's expression flickered as if he sensed the abnormal Spiritual Power in the air. Although he hadn't cultivated Spiritual Power, his strong body endowed him with a keen sense that could easily perceive Spiritual Qi and Spiritual Power.

"Celestial Maiden Swordsmanship!"

"Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers!"

Zhou Lan made a move, and the sixth-grade long sword in his hand turned into starlight that fell on Jiu's body, unleashing immense power, breaking his skin and muscles, causing him real harm.

Buzz~ The long sword vibrated continuously, blood dripping from the sword tip, with a large amount of blood spraying from Jiu's neck as the jugular was cut.

Feeling the swift loss of blood and strength, Jiu could no longer sit idly by. The muscles around his neck clamped the wound, forcing the severed blood vessels to squeeze and reconnect.

Though blood was still flowing out, the rate had significantly slowed down.

Everyone unleashed their strongest attacks upon Jiu's body. Jiu invoked tribal witchcraft, instantly fortifying his body, with both strength and defense greatly enhanced.

Scratch~ The light chain emitted a piercing sound, indicating that Jiu was on the verge of tearing it apart.

He originally didn't want to use such a self-destructive witchcraft, which sacrifices much to hurt the enemy. But any further delay would only lead to a dead end.

"Hohoho~ I've decided, I will eat your flesh to compensate for the harm you did to me! I will tie your skull to my waist as a warning to myself of the harm caused by carelessness, I will..."

Jiu tore the light chain and walked towards Zhou Lan, speaking viciously as he moved.

Suddenly, three light chains shot up from the ground, each ending in a sharp triangular tip, piercing Jiu's back, through his shoulder blade, and lifting him from the ground.

In the distance, An Youwei appeared with a helpless expression, "I overestimated you all and underestimated the tribe! I thought once the tribe was restrained you could kill him, but I didn't expect you to be so useless!"

Hong Chu conveyed through sound, "Everyone, escape from there as quickly as possible."

With the light chains dancing wildly, Jiu painfully tore the chain piercing his shoulder blade, only to be penetrated by a new chain emerging from the ground, with blood spilling onto the ground, forming a pool.

Boom~ The ruined body fell into the blood pool on the ground.

The shaman's eyes suddenly opened; he seemed to see Jiu's soul after his death, with a somber expression instructing the indigenous nearby to let the strong at the main camp stay and avenge Jiu.

Jiu was the most promising young individual in the Witch Spirit Tribe, and his death was a significant blow to the tribe.

"Don't you need to leave people to protect the sacrificial ritual?" Receiving the news, Moth found the shaman and asked.

The shaman looked at the already prepared sacrificial altar, saying grimly, "If they dare to come, they will only become sacrifices for Lord Witch Spirit. You should go!"

Seeing this, Moth didn't argue. The shaman's words were indisputable. Although he didn't agree with the shaman's approach of sending everyone out, he never considered someone could defeat the shaman, could defeat the totem.

"Found Jiu's body, there are traces of the array on the ground. Did they use this to ambush Jiu? How despicable!" Qiu looked at Jiu's body and cursed.

Moth glanced at Jiu, surveyed the surroundings, and suggested, "Check the area first to prevent anyone from hiding here and ambushing the shaman when we leave."

"Moth, if you're going to check, go by yourself! I am going to hunt the humans that killed Jiu. I absolutely won't let them return behind that high wall, absolutely not!" After speaking, Qiu left, ignoring Moth's attempts to dissuade him and chased after the fleeing individuals.

Tracking prey in the forest is a very easy task for an excellent hunter of the Witch Spirit Race, like Qiu, especially when this prey has no idea how to hide their tracks.

The others followed Qiu to pursue the killers of Jiu, preferring the hunt of their prey over searching the surroundings for hidden humans.

"Sigh~" Looking at the distant companions, Moth could only instruct the indigenous warriors who followed to spread out and search for the humans hiding in the forest, to prevent them from attacking the shaman.

Even though they knew humans might attack the shaman, neither the shaman nor the high-ranking tribe officials cared about the so-called attack.

Because the shaman is the strongest being in the tribe, if even the strongest shaman could die in an attack, what's the use of taking a defensive stance?

Furthermore, these strong individuals disdain having the weaker members patrol around their residence for so-called protection.

The strong fear no challenge at any given time.

The tribe, in the Southern Border Forest, often encounters threats that could endanger the entire community, fostering a habit of constant vigilance, not fearing human ambushes at all.

Hong Chu glanced at the tribal experts leaving the main camp and said to those behind him, "Commence the operation!"

Everyone charged towards the Witch Spirit Tribe's main camp. Hong Chu reminded them at the last moment, "Our target is to disrupt the Witch Spirit Tribe's summoning ritual. As long as you find the summoning location, there's no need to confront the tribe head-on."

After speaking, Hong Chu's Spiritual Power surged and transformed into a surging torrent, blasting away any defending indigenous that charged upon seeing them, as well as the buildings in front of him.

With one move, he cleared an empty path.

Lu Yu found it speechless — this is not confronting head-on? It's completely charging through.

Infiltration was impossible, not knowing how to become invisible, nor was his profession a rogue. The only option was to kill all the witnesses.

"Your flames," Hong Chu said, looking at Lu Yu after his move.

"No problem," Lu Yu extended his hand, unleashing a swath of Celestial Falling Bright Flame, setting the buildings inside the indigenous main camp on fire. His main task was to destroy the structures.

Destroying the indigenous' food, herbs, and other logistic supplies forced them to withdraw from the war.

Without food, the strong among the indigenous might endure a few days without eating while still maintaining combat power, but most of the indigenous need to rely on food for energy and nutrition. If they don't eat well, their combat power would significantly decline.

Whoosh~ The simple array set up by An Youwei stirred a strong wind, blowing Lu Yu's flames everywhere.

The Celestial Falling Bright Flame had an extremely high temperature, easily igniting most objects. Even metal would melt in its blaze.

Not only food, but even weapons and equipment would be destroyed by the fire.

Boom boom boom~ The flames spread to a house, and many indigenous people dropped their weapons, rushing to the house, holding things to try to extinguish the fire.

Seeing that the flames could not be put out, they rushed into the flames to retrieve their belongings from the house, as it was the place where they stored their dried meat and food.

In response, Lu Yu conjured a large fireball and hurled it at the house storing food. The giant fireball crashed into the house, exploded, and destroyed everything inside, including the indigenous who rushed in.

One by one, the indigenous looked at the destroyed food in grief and turned towards Lu Yu, their eyes aflame with anger, and charged at him with a look of determination as if they would not rest until dead.

Seeing this, Hong Chu gave Lu Yu a thumbs-up, "This area is all yours."

"Let's charge inside!"

Watching as Hong Chu and others abandoned him, Lu Yu noticed the nearby indigenous warriors rushing toward him with a resolute, do-or-die attitude.

Lu Yu felt like he should never have accepted this troublesome task.

Since things have come to this, he didn't complain much. The Spiritual Power in his body surged, with Qi Blood boiling along with the heightening emotions, Lu Yu exuded a formidable sense of pressure.

Compared to shooting from a distance, he preferred the visceral impact of close combat.
