Chapter 313 Return to Rhine! The beast tide is coming!
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
During these days of [Sneaking], Xia En has been tirelessly conquering the copy of [The Furnace Secret Realm].
After some hard work, Xia En successfully found the territory of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] and conquered it with absolute power.
In fact, when Blast followed Xia En to the leader of the [Wild Ax Tribe], the other party completely lost any desire to resist.
Since the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] can surrender to the [Sunfire Tribe], it can naturally also offer its loyalty to the [Warhammer Tribe].
At the same time, because the original cave of the [Warhammer Tribe] became endangered in the explosion, their tribesmen simply temporarily moved into the territory of the [Barbarian Axe Tribe].
Although it sounds cruel, war between tribes is cruel in itself!
If the [Barbarian Ax Tribe]''s attack succeeds, the people of the [Warhammer Tribe] will never be much better off than they are.
During this process, Xia En was quite surprised by the explosive performance.
Xia En originally thought that he would wait for an opportunity to escape, or betray him directly.
But unexpectedly, Burst was honest from beginning to end. Not to mention defecting, he didn''t even show the emotion of wanting to leave.
Not only that, when facing the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], Burst also took the initiative to reveal his tyrannical aura.
It''s as if... he has become a member of the [Warhammer Tribe].
Xia En was still surprised by this at first, but after briefly asking about Explosion and the prisoners of the [Sun Flame Tribe], he suddenly came to his senses.
It turns out that Burst is not actually a real member of the [Yang Yan Tribe].
Burst was a young man who was found in their lair after the [Yang Yan Tribe] went hunting and killed several [Fire Seeds].
No one knows which tribe he was an abandoned baby from.
If I have to say it, [Yangyan Tribe] still has the hatred of killing "father" and "mother" against Burst.
The reason why Burst obeyed the orders of the leader of the [Yangyan Tribe] was just because the leader was more powerful.
It can be said that this is a helpless move for survival.
In the same way, Burst can fight for the [Sunfire Tribe] for survival, and naturally he can also fight for the [Warhammer Tribe].
Realizing this, Xia En relaxed a lot on his guard against explosions.
For someone who relies on wild instincts to fight, as long as you are always stronger than him, you can steadily suppress and drive him.
Another thing worth mentioning is -
After defeating the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], Xia En accepted the [Ancestor Totem] from the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] as a matter of course.
Since the two tribes were once one family, the two [ancestral totems] were actually one.
And when Xia En used the [Hammer of the God of War] to touch the [Ancestor Totem] of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], a strange change suddenly occurred.
The mysterious ancient totem turned into molten iron in an instant and merged into the huge hammer of the [Hammer of the God of War].
This makes the lines on [War God''s Hammer] more magnificent and complete.
The secret power contained in it becomes rich and full visibly to the naked eye.
After buying it, Xia En felt an indescribable smooth texture, as if it had undergone a mysterious transformation.
At the same time, the description of [War God''s Hammer] has also undergone some changes.
[Hammer of the God of War (Incomplete)]
[Quality: Legend]
[Type: Weapon]
[Description: The dwarves imitated the legendary artifact of the God of War and forged a warhammer that has been bound to your soul. 】
[The ancestral totem with "Warhammer Tribe" engraved on it has become more complete by absorbing similar totems. 】
[Effect 1: God of War Suppression—This war hammer naturally suppresses the descendants of the God of War, reducing their combat effectiveness to a moderate extent. 】
[The richer the blood of the God of War, the more intense the suppression will be. 】
[Effect 2: Incomplete Totem—the ancestral totems of the dwarves are scattered throughout the "Furnace Secret Realm" for some special reason. 】
[Completing the incomplete totem might give this weapon a new power, right? 】
[Effect 3: Savagery—the special combat skill of the "Barbarian Ax Tribe" can enhance one''s own combat power in a short period of time, at the cost of reduced intelligence. 】
"this…"
After reading these descriptions, Xia En couldn''t help but show a surprised expression.
"Did it... directly swallow the totem of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe]? And also unlocked new abilities?"
Although Xia En had heard Hope say before that [Ancestral Totems] would become more powerful when put together.
But this enhanced form of [War God''s Hammer] was still somewhat beyond his expectations.
Not only that, it''s probably because this weapon is bound to Shane''s soul.
In the process of its integration with the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] totem, Xia En''s body also received a unique feedback.
His whole body was filled with warmth, and there was a stream of heat flowing through every cell, every muscle, and even deep in his soul.
Indescribably comfortable and comfortable.
To be honest, it feels quite similar to the feeling of bathing in the dragon''s blood pool.
[Comprehensive quality +0.5! 】
Seeing this prompt, Xia En''s eyes lit up.
Although the overall quality of 0.5 is not much, it is definitely a lot.
—As Xia En''s overall quality continues to improve, the difficulty of this numerical improvement is gradually becoming greater.
This is similar to the fact that in some games in the late stages, if you want to level up, you will need a huge amount of experience.
Moreover, there is more than one ancestral totem fragment in [The Furnace Secret Realm].
Continuously acquiring more [Ancestral Totems] will not only improve your overall quality, but also make [War God''s Hammer] more complete.
Why not?
Maybe... with enough [Ancestral Totems] absorbed, [War God''s Hammer] can be upgraded from [Legendary] to [Mythical] quality!
Shane was looking forward to this.
…
…
In addition to the actions in [The Furnace Realm], Shane also did not forget to use federal weapons and equipment to arm the people of the [Rhine Secret Realm].
After all, it was just the information collected by the [Yongyue Clan] scouts.
A terrifying beast tide may sweep through the newly established [Rhine City] at any time.
Whether it''s for the residents of [Rhine City] or to maintain this stable rear area, Xia En must withstand this beast tide.
Coincidentally, in these days, the federal salvage ship had found the [Ember Treasure] in [Coral City] that Xia En had handed over, and started a salvage operation.
According to the previous contract, every time the seeds of an ancient creature are discovered, Xia En will be given a certain amount of merit as a reward.
To put it simply, it is -
The final payment has arrived!
With this merit and another transaction amount from Daisy, Shane purchased another batch of key weapons and transported them to the [Rhine Secret Realm].
Because there is a strange and close connection between Xia En and the [Rhine Secret Realm], he can actually faintly detect the changes in the atmosphere in the secret realm.
In other words.
Xia En can roughly judge the time when the beast tide is coming.
—This is probably one of the privileges of the [Lord of the Rhine], right?
On the day when the ominous premonition in his heart reached its peak, Xia En and his crew came to the [Rhine Secret Realm].
Xia En originally wanted to take all the crew members except Xiaolong Xiange who was still sleeping.
But unexpectedly, Vivian''s spirit body could not leave the crystal coffin and move alone.
And for some unknown reason, the crystal coffin was unable to pass through the light gate formed by the [Empty Beast Heart Seal].
In desperation, Xia En had no choice but to leave this salted fish ghost on the [Black Swan] and treat it as staying to look after the family. Step through the door composed of silver light.
The world before the crew members suddenly changed.
"call…"
Joey couldn''t help but take a deep breath, smiled and sighed: "Sure enough, the air in [Rhine Secret Realm] is fresh!"
Fairy Tracey was also very fond of the vibrant environment of the [Rhine Secret Realm]. She looked around curiously and exclaimed in a low voice.
"It''s changed a lot from the last time I came here. Is that city so well built?"
As for the existence of [Rhine Secret Realm], Xia En had already informed his crew members, and he had brought them here more than once.
[Rhine Secret Realm] can not only be used as a good training location, but also relieve the boredom of sailing for the crew.
It works great in every sense of the word.
However, because of the construction of the [Moon Ying Clan] and the Tree People, and Xia En converted a lot of money into equipment and invested it in the [Rhine Secret Realm].
The entire [Secret Realm], especially the area near [Rhine City], is changing rapidly.
This is like an area on earth that developed rapidly during certain periods, almost changing every day.
Therefore, every time they come, the crew will be novel and amazed by the changes in [Rhine City].
"Lord Holy Son!"
Seeing Xia En and his party appear, Sha Jingjing, who had been waiting here for a long time, hurriedly greeted them.
In her sparkling eyes, Xia En was almost the only one in sight.
Of course Sha Jingjing also knew Joey and other crew members, but her attitude was vaguely alienated.
Especially there is still a slight hostility towards Joey.
Probably because she vaguely guessed that the reason why Xia En hadn''t had a child with her yet was related to this beautiful white-haired girl.
But at this time, in addition to the usual joy and excitement, Sha Jingjing''s eyes also contained a bit of solemnity and uneasiness.
In fact, [Rhine City] has entered a state of war readiness these days.
The area for scouts to explore has been greatly reduced.
Because the gathered beasts had already arrived at a place not too far away from [Rhine City].
An earth-shattering beast tide is about to sweep over.
In this case, Xia En didn''t waste any time and took the crew directly to the city wall of [Rhine City].
"Lord Holy Son, according to your instructions, we have built five lines of defense."
"It''s all basically finished now."
At this time, Sha Jingjing showed her capable side again, reporting their results these days to Xia En.
Obviously, at critical moments, this former tribal saint is still very reliable.
Standing on the city wall, Xia En could have a panoramic view of the layout below.
On the outermost line of defense is the detonating device he purchased from the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance].
It can be roughly regarded as a mine array. When the beast tide comes, it will undoubtedly cause great damage.
The second line of defense is a circle of special thorn-like plants.
This is also a good thing that Shane bought from the Federation.
To be precise, this is an alchemical creation called [Bloodthirsty Thorn].
It can be spawned by secret power, and will actively intercept and cut charging creatures, and will enter a violent state after absorbing blood.
The lethality is not high, but it can greatly hinder the charging speed of the beasts.
And speed is the most important factor in intercepting the beast tide.
In addition, Xia En also purchased similar props such as [Swamp Magic Potion], [Ice Rose] and [Mudstone Soil].
By then, it will definitely give the beasts attacking [Rhine City] a surprise.
As for the third, fourth, and fifth lines of defense, they were all designed by Xia En and painstakingly built by the [Yongyue Clan] and the tree people.
At this time, looking at the completed defense line below, Xia En felt confident and whispered to Sha Jingjing.
"Thank you for your hard work these days."
Sha Jingjing quickly shook her head and said, "It''s not hard, it''s not hard."
She scratched her cheek and said, "Without those things brought by the Holy Son, how could we have built five lines of defense in such a short period of time?"
"It''s all the result of the Holy Son."
"You can''t say that."
Xia En shook his head: "The resources I provide are certainly important, but without your efforts, I wouldn''t be able to do this alone."
"hey-hey…"
Sha Jingjing giggled twice and swung her tail quickly behind her.
Obviously, she was very happy to be praised by Xia En.
At this moment, Sha Jingjing thought of another thing and said.
"By the way, Lord Holy Son, don''t you say something to everyone in the [Moon Yong Clan] and the Tree People Clan?"
"Say something?"
Hearing this, Xia En was stunned for a moment. He didn''t expect this.
But think about it.
Now that the beast tide is coming, we need to mobilize before the war to enhance the morale and confidence of the soldiers.
In fact, there is no need for Xia En to take the initiative to call on people from both ethnic groups.
In the process of walking up the wall of [Rhine City], the surrounding [Moon Yong Clan] and tree people had already gathered, looking at Xia En with awe, respect, gratitude and other emotions.
Feeling everyone''s gaze, Xia En also had some special emotions in his heart.
So, he looked around at everyone and said.
"Everyone, I am Xia En, and I am also the lord of this [Rhine City]!"
“During this time, I witnessed it transform from a meadow to a city.”
“I am both proud and gratified about this—this is the city you built and your new home!”
"I think... you can be just as proud."
Upon hearing this, both the [Yongyue Clan] and the tree people couldn''t help but smile.
Being able to build your own new home with your own hands is an exciting thing in itself.
"But…"
Xia En changed the topic and pointed seriously to the forest in the distance.
"Now, those beasts want to destroy our home and drive us out of here!"
"I will never allow this kind of thing!"
"This battle has nothing to do with right or wrong, it is only about survival!"
"For the sake of our homeland and the loved ones behind us, this battle... must be won!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone shouted in unison: "We must win! We must win!"
"Must win!!"
