Outside the Southern Border City, the forest was dense.
At this very moment.
In a forest on a small hill, a humanoid figure in a hooded black robe was shouting furiously.
"Damn it, my Black Ox puppet was killed!"
"I've remembered your scent. When I gather my tribesmen, I will surely get revenge!"
"I'm going to gather the tribesmen and block the road ahead."
With that, he strode into the depths of the jungle.
His entire body was shrouded in a black robe, but if one looked closely, they would notice that although this person walked upright, he stooped and hunched as he walked, occasionally letting out heavy gasps.
He walked with great speed, especially through the jungle, as if treading on level ground.
On the other side.
Lin Yu ordered his clones to conduct a carpet search of the surroundings.
A hundred clones were deployed within a thousand-meter radius, beginning a carpet search, and then transmitting the obtained valid information back to Lin Yu.
This information converged in Lin Yu's mind. He pondered, analyzed, and finally reached a conclusion.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he pointed in a direction, saying, "Senior Brother, it's that way!"
Lin Yu pointed in that direction. Without waiting for his Senior Brother's reply, he commanded his clones to clear the path.
Upon hearing this, Senior Brother looked in that direction and indeed saw many flattened weeds and broken branches. He was somewhat impressed by Lin Yu's deductive abilities.
Senior Brother said, "It seems the mastermind has just left. Let's hurry and pursue them."
Lin Yu nodded and said, "Senior Brother is right. However, we don't need to rush too much; we can just follow behind."
Senior Brother, thinking of something, chuckled, "You want to catch them all in one go, don't you, my cunning junior brother."
Lin Yu nodded and said, "Let's go, Senior Brother."
The two followed behind the clones, and the clones walked in the footsteps of the person in the black robe.
Along the way, Lin Yu became increasingly familiar with the environment of the Southern Border.
In the forest, the trees were tall, blocking out the sky and sun, making it dark and damp. Poisonous insects and fierce beasts were everywhere, but fortunately, they were not very strong and were easily dealt with.
After walking for about ten minutes, the area ahead suddenly opened up, revealing a very primitive tribe.
Lin Yu was overjoyed, "Senior Brother, we've arrived!"
Senior Brother also laughed, "You little rascal, you're so sly!"
"How can that be called sly? When dealing with enemies, we must capture them all and leave no room for future trouble," Lin Yu insisted.
Senior Brother pondered, not refuting him.
At this moment, the clones had already hidden themselves around, ready to charge at any moment.
"Senior Brother, let's not move yet. Let the clones scout," Lin Yu said, holding back his Senior Brother who was about to charge forward.
Senior Brother nodded and hid in the dense forest with Lin Yu, but their eyes were fixed on the small tribe.
At this moment, a tribe appeared ahead.
The tribe was not large, but when Lin Yu saw the true face of the humanoid creature walking, he was startled.
"Don't make a sound. These are Hyena people. Their hearing and sense of smell are very sensitive. Look at what's being cooked in the pot on the ground?" Senior Brother whispered immediately.
Lin Yu looked upon hearing this, but when he clearly saw the human heads floating in the pot, he became enraged and immediately ordered his clones to act.
He now had only one command: Kill them all!
Senior Brother did not stop him. He could sense that the foreign races here were not very strong.
On the other side.
In the Hyena people's tribe.
Inside the tallest wooden hut in the tribe.
A group of Hyena people were standing. The person at the head wore a crown made of animal bones and held a wooden scepter, signifying his status as leader.
On his left and right stood two strong Hyena people dressed in exquisite human attire. Below them, a Hyena person in a black robe was reporting to the leader.
"How dare they kill your Black Ox puppet! Where are those humans? Take me there quickly. I want to slaughter them and use them as my drinking snacks."
The leader exhaled two streams of white gas from his nostrils, angrily pounding the ground with his scepter.
The black-robed Hyena person rejoiced, hurriedly saying:
"They are on the main road in the distance. Although there are dozens of them, they are only at the third-tier strength. If you send a few people with me, Chief, I will surely avenge this and retrieve my Black Ox."
The thought of the Black Ox, which he had painstakingly created, being destroyed by others made him furious.
The leader said, "Good!"
Then he looked at the burly Hyena people standing on either side and said, "You four, two of you go with him to seek revenge!"
"Yes, Chief!" Two Hyena people stepped forward voluntarily.
The black-robed man was overjoyed at this. With these two fourth-tier tribesmen acting, revenge would surely be achieved.
His entire strength was in his puppets. These two were different; their close-combat abilities were terrifying. They had cleared out all the nearby fierce beasts.
He proudly led the two experts out of the wooden hut, about to seek vengeance.
Suddenly, he saw the scene outside and froze.
"What's going on?" He looked around and found many of his tribesmen lying on the ground.
Not far away, the person he hated was slaughtering the remaining tribesmen with weapons of various shapes.
He watched with eyes about to burst with rage, and the two Hyena people beside him were also furious, roaring:
"You dare to hurt my tribesmen, I will kill you!"
The two fourth-tier Hyena people unleashed their powerful auras, stomped on the ground, and charged out like rockets.
Upon seeing the arrival of experts, the clones abandoned their attack on the weaker Hyena people and began to surround and attack these two.
Fifty against one, with the clones' tacit understanding, they could grind the opponents to death.
In the distance.
Senior Brother said, "These Hyena people are not strong. Let me take care of them!"
Lin Yu quickly stopped him, thinking to himself: These are all upgrade points, and it's the first time he's encountered foreign races. He couldn't let Senior Brother intervene.
Because he had learned from a book that such foreign races with intelligence and civilization often dropped skill crystals, and even talent crystals.
Unlike humans, whose talents were awakened through the divine platform, the talents of foreign races were often awakened through bloodlines.
Therefore, they were a bloodline hierarchy. If the parents were powerful, their children were often powerful too. They attached great importance to bloodlines, so nobles were always nobles, and commoners were always commoners.
Of course, there would definitely be exceptions, but he wasn't entirely sure about the specifics.
What was written in the book was certainly not exhaustive.
The reason Lin Yu gave the order to kill was not only because they were attacked on the road, but more importantly, the Hyena people and humans were in an antagonistic relationship.
At this moment, the leader heard the commotion and joined the battlefield with the remaining two Hyena people.
The four fourth-tier Hyena people could already suppress the clones.
The Hyena leader looked at all this furiously and then glared at the black robe, "It's all your fault for leading them here!"
The black robe roared, his eyes about to burst with rage, and he shouted, "Humans are too cunning. I will kill them."
With that, he was about to charge forward.
The leader immediately pulled him back, scolding, "Your puppets are all dead, are you going to charge forward and die?"
Then, he strode towards the battlefield. He was the only fifth-tier being in this tribe.
"Human, die!"
The scepter in his hand suddenly lit up, and a gray beam shot towards the clones.
The beam was so fast that the clones could not dodge it and were killed by three or four.
Seeing this, Lin Yu created four more clones and sent them to join the battle.
The Hyena leader, seeing this, arrogantly said, "Humans, retreat quickly, or you will all perish."
However, before his words could fall, a gust of blade wind came from behind him.
The black robe shouted in alarm, "Chief, be careful behind you!"
But it was too late.
The blade, carrying scorching flames, struck his neck.
Boom!
Bang!
The two collided, emitting a dull thud. His head was not severed, but his neck bled.
"Roar!"
The leader let out an angry roar.
His limbs touched the ground, his back arched, and he actually transformed into a ten-meter-tall hyena.
Seeing this, the guards and the black robe showed joy:
"It's the Chief's Yuan Ancestral Transformation, stimulating the bloodline power within his body to transform into a fierce beast. His defense, attack power, and speed will all greatly increase. The drawback is that he can no longer use weapons."
"However, the Chief never used weapons in the first place."
"The Chief will surely win. These humans who look exactly alike will surely die!"
