The oppressive atmosphere brought by the huge beasts is not something that the weak kobolds can withstand. Even if the city wall is made of rocks and asphalt, Lin Jia is not sure that it can withstand the brutal collision of those huge beasts, just like It turned out that those kobold villages could not withstand the collision of his constructs.
The kobold troops who were constantly retreating after being forced by the wild beasts gathered behind Lin Jia, trembling in fear. The lycanthropic reinforcements who pushed down the trees and appeared in the forest on the side of the granary city did not get too close, but stood in the forest. The edge paused.
Lin Jia gritted his teeth and glanced at the more than 7,000 lycanthrope prisoners who were tied up. If they wanted to take action, the first people to be killed would be these guys who were tied up like rice dumplings. He didn't have anyone who could fight with these guys yet. The strength of powerful creatures in combat can only be achieved by weakening the opponent as much as possible to gain a glimmer of hope.
The dangerous aura brought by the dire bear, dire ape, dire tiger, and dire lion, all four behemoths over five meters tall, made even Lin Jia feel weak in his legs, and his mind was racing with thoughts of self-preservation. Thoughts and things at hand were not enough to fight them. The only hope was to retreat to the Lava Territory with all his strength once a fight broke out and rely on natural barriers for defense. However, Lin Jia was very doubtful that the Lava Territory's line was only twenty or thirty meters wide. Can the lava river stop these huge creatures? I'm afraid they can pass by with just a small jump, right?
Snoopy, the elephant mastiff next to Lin Jia, kept letting out a low, muffled roar. This was something Lin Jia had never seen before, even though Snoopy was huge. But the attitude he has always displayed has been as naughty as a puppy attached to its owner. Even during hunting and fighting, he has never shown such a fighting attitude like now. Maybe it was the four huge beasts on the opposite side that put pressure on it.
Snoopy can block one, and three giant stone golems and two golems should be able to deal with the remaining three. The remaining 300 wooden golems and 100 lava golems will definitely not be able to withstand the large number of hidden ones that just arrived. There is an unknown number of lycanthropic troops in the forest, but it should be possible to protect yourself and the kobold troops and retreat.
"Damn it! The worst case scenario is giving up Granary City!" Lin Jia gritted his teeth and raised his arm, intending to inform Ah Jin of Granary City to use a catapult to launch kerosene barrels at the opponent.
"Please wait a moment! The one favored by the beast god!"
Just when Lin Jia decided to use all the strength at hand to fight, the old lycanthrope sitting on the back of the huge ferocious bear shouted loudly. Under his restraint, he was originally facing off against the elephant mastiff Snoopy. With bared teeth and low growls, the giant beasts all docilely lay down. And a tall lion man stepped forward and lay down next to the ferocious bear, using his body as a ladder to take the old lycanthrope down from the tent on the bear's back.
Lin Jia squinted his eyes and stared at it. It was hard to tell what race this old lycanthrope was. The protruding forehead and rickety body made it look like an ape-man. It should be the so-called beast god shaman. .
Staggeringly, he left the lycanthropic team and walked towards the direction of the lava leader. The ape-like beast god shaman was skinny and short. Lin Jia did not believe that he could not defeat the tall lion man and such a thin old beast. Transform people. He squinted his eyes. Not to be outdone, he also faced it. The leaders representing the two forces, the lava leader and the lycanthrope, seemed to need a negotiation.
The beast god shaman holds a slender bone staff in his hand. The top of the bone staff made from the tibia of an unknown creature bears the skull of an animal full of ferocious bone spurs. The white fangs prove that this animal has I'm afraid it wasn't a kind-hearted herbivore when it was alive, but it was hunted and made into a decoration on the scepter.
After the two sides got closer to less than three meters, the beast god shaman, who was not as tall as Lin Jiaju, looked at him with his head raised and his dim eyes squinted. Without saying a word, he took out a piece of bone armor engraved with runes from his arms and presented it to Lin Jiaju. He stood up and began to chant in his mouth. A dazzling bloody light suddenly appeared on the bone armor.
Lin Jia was startled, and subconsciously raised his hands that were still burning with flames and electric light. But before he could attack, his whole body was shaken, and a burst of burning pain erupted from the skin on his back as if it had been burned by boiling oil. Lin Jia, who was caught off guard, roared in pain. Thinking that the beast god shaman had cast some kind of curse on him, he immediately planned to kill him.
But the strong golden light that suddenly appeared from behind restricted his movements. Lin Jia, who froze, was shocked to find that a rich golden light enveloped him, and a substance like gold liquid began to spread from his back to his body, automatically outlining complex runes on his skin. Patterns and totems, and the bloody bone armor in the hands of the Beast God Shaman in front of him also floated into the air and continued to crack. When all the carriers of the bone armor collapsed into ashes, only a ball was left floating in the air. The rune array composed of blood-colored energy slowly floated towards him.
Contrary to Lin Jia's fear, when a strong golden light erupted from his body, all the surrounding lycanthropes knelt down and sang in a low voice with incomprehensible words, and the surrounding kobolds also After being stunned for a while, they all knelt down like wheat that had been cut down, because a huge sun emblem appeared out of thin air behind him, and the spreading golden liquid covered the soul-inhabiting beast on his body. After the transformation, the wolf's mane, which was originally snow silver, was dyed white gold.
After the floating bloody totem approached Lin Jia, it was branded on his right arm. The severe burning pain made Lin Jia roar, but the confinement of the golden light made him unable to move or even struggle. , but the fire in his body seemed to be asleep and did not respond at all, not like it would automatically protect him like before.
As soon as the bloody totem was branded on his shoulder, the soul of the winter wolf that was originally branded on his lower body suddenly broke away and turned into a pocket-sized wolf soul galloping in the air. It circled around him twice and then threw it in. The blood brand changed for a while, forming a blood-red animal pattern with silver-white lines composed of runes and totem lines. It looked a bit like a wolf, but it was not completely a wolf.
The moment the wolf soul left the body, Lin Jia's soul-inhabiting beast state disappeared like an ebbing tide. However, when the blood-colored beast patterns formed, his body instantly transformed into a beast again. This time, the form that appeared was even more ferocious, with blood all over his body. The long mane is as bright as dripping blood, while the platinum and silver mane on the back of the head and back is like burning high-temperature flames, constantly stirring.
"Ouch!" The beast-turned-people roared, and the beast god shaman knelt down in front of Lin Jia. He raised his bone staff to the sky and roared. The surrounding beast-turned-people also roared like a mountain roaring and a tsunami. Even Those huge beasts also lay down and howled.
"What's going on?" Lin Jia, who relaxed and regained control of his body, looked at his body in surprise, not understanding what had just happened.
"The great apostle of the gods, the favored one of the beast god!" The beast god shaman kneeling in front of Lin Jia excitedly held the bone staff in his hands and sent it to Lin Jia: "The will of the beast god guided me to your In front of you is a gift from the Beast God. The Beast God's brand given to you will give you the Beast God's supreme right to rule over the animals in this world. This is the Beast God's respect for the God of the Sun!"
Lin Jia was confused and looked around at the lycanthropes who seemed to have surrendered: "What's going on?"
"Since you came to Devil's Fang, the Beast God has sent down an oracle. When you obtain the rights of the apostle of the gods, we, the lycanthrope family, will send you gifts from the Beast God and come to follow your footsteps! From now on! , you are the spokesperson of the Beast God on the earth, and we will become the bravest warriors under your command!" The Beast God Shaman's face was filled with the fanaticism of a fanatic, and he looked at Lin Jia with great admiration.
"What do you mean? How did your beast god know that I would be here? And if your beast god asked you to come to me, why did you come to attack my territory!?" Lin Jia, who was crazy, grabbed him The shaman kneeling in front of him asked.
The poor old beast-turned-man was startled, and after being stunned, he said: "Great apostle of the gods, this is what the beast god's oracle said. It sent down the beast god's brand and oracle, tell me when you need it. When you are helping, you will lead a clan of lycanthropes to follow your footsteps. The other beast gods did not explain and attack your territory Don't you like the sacrifice we held for you? This is the great beast god's people to you To prove their bravery, if you are not satisfied, I will let them prove their strength to you! We lycanthropes are powerful warriors!"
Lin Jia is a little dizzy, do you still want to prove it? This has destroyed more than 100 wooden golems of his. It seems that he does not know when he became the "apostle" of this world. He knows that he inherited the main substance from the former apostle of the Temple of the Sun, Master Einstein. The identity of a plane lord seems to have some unclear relationship with becoming an apostle of the gods, but until now, those mysterious "gods" and the equally mysterious former "apostle", They didn't seem to have any intention of explaining to him what the purpose of becoming an "apostle" was.
Do you want him to help them with something, or something else?
"These damn gods!" Lin Jia yelled angrily, no wonder the former apostle also called them that!
