Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Slaves
The Beastman warrior, who had let out a roar, suddenly felt a refreshing sensation spread throughout his body. But following that venting roar, the uncomfortable feeling rushed back into his heart.
The sound in his ears grew louder, making the Beastman warrior feel even more uncomfortable. In Song Jianâs eyes, the Beastman warrior at this moment seemed like a furious beast, instinctively releasing its ferocity.
Time passed by second by second, and the Beastman warrior roared and growled non-stop. Blood was slowly flowing from the corner of his mouth, and the two blood-red eyes showed no sign of rationality, like a wild beast driven by instinct to go berserk.
It used its head to ram repeatedly against the cage, its forehead covered in fresh blood. Much of the blood had even flowed down its cheeks, and the strong smell of blood filled the Beastman warriorâs nostrils. It felt as if it was back on the battlefield of the past, facing hordes of encroaching enemies. Despite being alone, it had no fear, charging towards thousands of soldiers and horses, and beginning a bloody carnage.
Ten seconds, fifteen seconds, twenty seconds, twenty-five seconds,â¦
As Song Jian finished the last syllable of Abyss Temptation, a sudden wave of weakness came over him, and 30% Spirit Points almost made him faint and fall to the ground.
However, Song Jian quickly recovered. This kind of feeling only occurred after releasing the âEye Killâ technique. It was the aftereffect of a large amount of Spirit Points loss, and all he needed was a little rest.
At this moment, the Beastman warrior had completely degenerated into a wild beast, constantly ramming its body against the bars. Even though its body was covered in wounds from the impact, it didnât feel any pain at all.
The Beastman warrior now stood on all fours and began gnawing at the iron bars with its tusks after it had grown tired of ramming. It seemed to have completely lost its sanity.
Just then, a black rune emerged from the Book of the Abyss, and with a âwhoosh,â it shot toward the Beastman warriorâs forehead.
A burning sensation was felt as the Beastman warrior let out a heartÂwrenching roar. The black rune had branded itself onto the warriorâs forehead, and black energy emanated from it, spreading like a large net and wrapping around the Beastmanâs entire body.
In a short amount of time, numerous black lines, resembling a web, appeared on the Beastmanâs skin. The black energy became increasingly denser, gradually covering the warrior and eventually transforming it into a cocoon over six feet tall, standing still in its place.
âThis should be⦠successful, right?â Song Jian put away the Book of the Abyss, staring at the black cocoon in the cage and guessing to himself.
It wasnât long before the Beastman warrior burst out of the black cocoon, tearing it apart from the inside. Upon seeing Song Jian, it showed an obedient expression, kneeling on one knee and touching its forehead to the ground, saying in a deep voice, âMaster!â
At this point, the Beastman warrior had completely transformed. On its once green skin, it was now covered with fine black scales, looking as if it were wearing black fish scale armor.
Its scarlet eyes had turned silver-white, and a glowing black rune adorned its forehead.
Its cheeks became thinner, and the tusks had shrunk slightly. Its muscular body seemed even more robust than before, filled with explosive power.
Looking at the kneeling Beastman warrior, a rune was also flashing in Song Jianâs mind. With just a thought, the rune would shatter, and once that happened, this powerful Beastman warrior would lose its life in an instant.
âThe skill has succeeded, and it has now become my slave!â Song Jianâs face revealed a joyful smile, feeling very satisfied with the Abyss Temptation skill. The only drawback was that if a slave died, it would genuinely die, unable to be resurrected like the Black Dragon cub.
âGet up,â Song Jian said, drawing his Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword and beginning to chop the prison bars. It took over half an hour for him to break the prison and free the Beastman warrior with his attack power.
Once the Beastman warrior stood behind him, Song Jian realized that the warriorâs height had now exceeded two meters. Even without any weapons, the aura radiating from its body gave off an intense oppressive feeling.
âWiry were you imprisoned in the first place?â Song Jian asked, looking the Beastman warrior up and down.
âI apologize, Master. I canât remember anything. I only recognize you as my Master!â The Beastman warrior said respectfully.
Song Jian: ââ¦â
Returning to his territory with the Beastman warrior, Song Jian was about to summon George and have him assign some work for the Beastman warrior. After all, he couldnât let such a powerful combatant follow him around as a bodyguard every day.
Before he could summon George, the floor beneath Song Jian suddenly began to tremble. Looking out the window, the entire territory seemed to be shaking as well.
âWhatâs going on? An earthquake?â Song Jianâs face changed, and at that moment, he suddenly heard a loud system voice in his ear.
System: The war alliance âHand of Godâ has declared war on the war alliance âCity of Hope.â The war lasts 2 hours. If the âCity of Hopeâ alliance core is destroyed or 2 hours pass, the war alliance conflict will end!
â What? An alliance dared to attack me?â Raising an eyebrow, Song Jianâs eyes filled with surprise, followed by a wave of anger emanating from his heart.
The trembling subsided, as this was simply a setup by the system. In actuality, it caused no damage to Song Jianâs territory but merely served as a reminder.
However, what caught Song Jian off guard was that these tremors happened one after another.
System: The war alliance âSurviveâ has declared war on the war alliance âCity of Hope.â The war lasts 2 hours. If the âCity of Hopeâ alliance core is destroyed or 2 hours pass, the war alliance conflict will end!
System: The war alliance âLittle Bird Movement Teamâ has declared war on the war alliance âCity of Hope.â The war lasts 2 hours. If the âCity of Hopeâ alliance core is destroyed or 2 hours pass, the war alliance conflict will end!
In an instant, six war alliances declared war on Song Jian simultaneously!
A virtual map appeared before Song Jian, which clearly marked his territoryâs position alongside the six war alliances.
These six alliance territories were practically distributed all around Song Jianâs territory. Their combined area was at least twice that of Song Jianâs. Moreover, any further expansion would result in a border with Song Jianâs territory, leading to a territorial expansion battle.
Thus, the six groups joined forces to strike first, intending to eliminate Song Jian and divide his territory among them.
