Chapter 313 Return to the 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: Savage Transformation - 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.

"It... directly swallowed 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 just like when some games reach the late stage, and you need a huge amount of experience to advance to the next level. This is the truth.

Moreover, there is more than one ancestral totem fragment in [The Furnace Secret Realm].

Continuously acquiring more [Ancestral Totems] can not only improve the overall quality, but also make [Hammer of the God of War] more complete.

Why not?

Maybe... with enough [Ancestral Totems] absorbed, [Hammer of the God of War] can be upgraded from [Legend] to [Myth] quality!

Shane is looking forward to this.

…

…

In addition to the actions in [Furnace Secret Realm], Shane did not forget to arm the people of [Rhine Secret Realm] with the weapons and equipment of the Federation.

After all, according to the intelligence collected by the [Moon Song Clan] scouts.

A terrible beast tide may sweep across the newly established [Rhine City] at any time.

Whether for the residents of [Rhine City] or to keep this stable rear area, Shane must survive this beast tide.

Coincidentally, during these days, the Federation's salvage ship has found the [Ember Treasure] in [Coral City] that Shane handed over, and started the salvage operation.

According to the contract made before, for every ancient creature's seed discovered, a certain amount of merit will be given to Shane as a reward.

In short, that 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 Shane and the [Rhine Secret Realm], he can actually faintly perceive the changes in the atmosphere in the secret realm.

In other words.

Shane can roughly judge the time when the beast tide will attack.

——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, Shane and his crew came to the [Rhine Secret Realm].

Shane originally wanted to bring all the crew members except the sleeping little dragon Xiange.

But unexpectedly, Vivian's spirit could not leave the crystal coffin alone.

And for some reason, the crystal coffin could not pass through the light gate formed by the [Empty Beast Heart Seal].

In desperation, Shane had to leave this salted fish ghost on the [Black Swan], and also regarded it as staying to look after the house.

Stepping through the gate composed of silver light.

The world in front of the crew suddenly changed.

"Huh..."

Joey couldn't help but take a deep breath, and smiled and sighed: "Sure enough, the air in [Rhine Secret Realm] is still fresh!"

The fairy Tracy was also full of favor for the vibrant environment of [Rhine Secret Realm]. She looked around curiously and exclaimed in a low voice.

"It has changed a lot since the last time I came. The city is built so well?"

Shane had already told his crew about the existence of [Rhine Secret Realm], and he had brought them here more than once.

[Rhine Secret Realm] can be used as a good training place, and it can also relieve the boredom of the crew during the voyage.

It is very useful in various senses.

However, because of the construction of [Yingyue Clan] and Tree People, and Shane exchanged a lot of money for equipment and invested in [Rhine Secret Realm].

The entire [Secret Realm], especially the area near [Rhine City], is changing with each passing day.

This is just like the areas on Earth that have been developing rapidly in certain periods, which are almost different every day.

So every time they come, the crew will feel novel and amazed by the changes in [Rhine City].

"Sir!"

Seeing Xia En and his group appear, Sha Jingjing, who had been waiting here for a long time, hurried to greet them.

In her bright eyes, there was almost only Xia En.

Of course, Sha Jingjing also knew Joey and other crew members, but her attitude was slightly alienated.

Especially towards Joey, there was still a little bit of hostility.

Probably because she vaguely guessed that the reason why Xia En had not given birth to a child with her was related to this beautiful white-haired girl.

However, at this time, in addition to the usual joy and excitement, Sha Jingjing's eyes also had some solemnity and uneasiness.

In fact, these days [Rhine City] has entered a state of war readiness.

The area that the scouts explored outside was greatly reduced.

Because the group of beasts that had gathered had already come to a place not too far from [Rhine City].

A shocking beast tide was about to sweep over.

In this case, Shane did not waste any time and brought the crew directly to the wall of [Rhine City].

"Sir, according to your instructions, we have built five lines of defense."

"Now it is basically completed."

At this time, Sha Jingjing showed her capable side again and reported to Shane their achievements in the past few days.

Obviously, at the critical moment, this former tribal saint was still very reliable.

Standing on the wall, Shane was able to see the arrangement below.

On the outermost line of defense was the detonator he bought from the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance].

It can be roughly regarded as a minefield, and 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 Shane bought from the Federation.

To be precise, this is an alchemical creation called [Bloodthirsty Thorn].

It can be created with secret power, will actively intercept and cut the charging creatures, and will enter a violent state after absorbing blood.

The lethality is not high, but it can greatly hinder the speed of the beasts' charge.

And speed is the most important factor in intercepting the beast tide.

In addition, Xia En also bought similar props such as [Swamp Potion], [Ice Rose], and [Mudstone Soil].

At that time, it will definitely give a surprise to the beasts attacking [Rhine City].

As for the third, fourth, and fifth lines of defense, they were also designed by Xia En and built by the [Moon Song Tribe] and the tree people.

At this time, looking at the defense line below that was ready to be completed, Xia En felt confident and whispered to Sha Jingjing.

"You have worked hard these days."

Sha Jingjing shook her head and said, "It's not hard, it's not hard."

She scratched her cheek and said, "If it weren't for the things brought by the Holy Son, how could we have built five lines of defense in such a short time?"

"It's all the credit of the Holy Son."

"You can't say that."

Xia En shook his head: "The resources I provided are certainly important, but if it weren't for your efforts, I couldn't do this alone."

"Hehe..."

Sha Jingjing smiled foolishly twice, and her tail swung quickly behind her.

Obviously, she was very happy to receive Xia En's praise.

At this moment, Sha Jingjing thought of something else and said.

"By the way, Saint Son, don't you say something to the people of the [Yingyue Clan] and the Tree People Clan?"

"Say something?"

Xia En was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect this.

But think about it carefully.

Now that the beast tide is about to come, it is necessary to make a pre-war mobilization to enhance the morale and confidence of the warriors.

In fact, Xia En didn't need to take the initiative to call on the people of the two tribes.

In the process of walking up the wall of [Rhine City], the [Yingyue Clan] and Tree People around him had already gathered and looked at Xia En with awe, respect, gratitude and other emotions.

Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Xia En also had some special emotions in his heart.

So, he looked around at everyone and spoke.

"Everyone, I am Shane, and I am also the mayor of this [Rhine City]!"

"During this period, I have witnessed with my own eyes that this place has been transformed from a grassland into a city."

"I feel proud and gratified for this - this is the city you built, and it is also your new home!"

"I think... you can also feel proud."

Hearing this, both the [Yingyue 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..."

Shane changed the subject 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 such a thing!"

"This battle has nothing to do with right or wrong, but only with survival!"

"For the sake of our home and our loved ones behind us, this battle... must win!"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone shouted in unison: "Must win! Must win!"

"Must win!!!"
