Chapter 330 The Battle of Xiong De
Black Falls tribe.
The Roaring God, the lord of Pantuo Forest, the human tribe protected by Usokel, has about a thousand indigenous humans.
The reason why Duke believes that these humans are all indigenous humans, not the native humans as originally thought.
The reason is that their appearance has a sense of primitive ugliness, with pointed ears, long curly hair, dark skin, protruding lips, brown eyes, and a thin figure. All these characteristics make them give Duke a "low-level" and "primitive" feeling.
“Our chief, Lord Childe, is a powerful Bard warrior. The old priests of the tribe say that Lord Childe is still young and he will definitely be able to break through the ways of nature and become a powerful druid!”
While explaining the composition of the Black Falls tribe to Duke, Bird De did not forget to emphasize the power of the Black Falls tribe: "We also have ten old priests in the Black Falls tribe. They are all Bards. If we join together, they will definitely defeat you. This druid!"
“Why do you want to defeat me?” Duke asked.
"Uh..." Bird was stunned for a moment, then hummed, "If you catch me, the chief and the old priests will definitely come to save me!"
After a pause, she continued: "Besides, if you don't let me go, Lord Ursokel will punish you!"
“Haha.” Duke chuckled softly, “Little Bird De, tell me your name.”
“Hmph, my name is Peng Tusi!” Bird De Peng Tusi raised her head and opened and closed her beak, “I will definitely become a great Druid!”
"I believe you. Then, I will untie you and you can show me your form. Then, take me to see your chief Child." Duke did not intend to embarrass the Black Falls tribe. After all, he came here to learn. The way of nature is not killing.
Peng Tushi tilted her head, as if thinking about the purpose of what Duke said.
But after thinking for a while, she quickly accepted the reality. The nameless bird seemed to explode with a bang, and then turned into a dark girl. The body is not wrapped in animal skins, but it is not naked either. There are feather bibs hanging on the chest and buttocks.
These feathers just cover the key parts.
certainly.
Even without cover, Duke had no interest in these natives. Their protruding lips and dark skin always reminded him of a certain species on earth.
“Come with me!” Peng Tusi said with her head held high.
This arrogant posture always reminds Duke of the Disney movie he once watched, with the hot-eyed black mermaid in it.
Shaked his head, Duke followed decisively.
Seeing that they reached the edge of the tribal village, Peng Tushi suddenly asked: "I don't know your name yet. Are you really a druid? Which form do you specialize in?"
"My name is Duke." Duke said, "I have not transformed, but I have fought against Harpie, the **** of whirlwind, and it can't beat me."
“God of whirlwind?” Peng Tushi shook her head, “I don’t know him.”
Entering the tribal village, Peng Tusi's tense body finally relaxed and walked quickly towards several Xiong De and Bao De who were on sentry duty.
Then he said a lot in another language that was different from the language of birds.
Immediately, one of the Baodes rushed towards the center of the tribal village, and then the remaining Xiongde and Baodes all came to Duke, vaguely making a gesture to surround Duke.
Duke smiled calmly and didn't mind the other person's gesture.
after all.
These are just the reactions of a weak person. He just looked at the other person indifferently and communicated with Xiaoyi in his heart: "analyze this new language as soon as possible."
“Okay, Master.” Xiaoyi responded, “But we need more sample materials.”
"no problem."
So Duke began to ask in bird language: "What do you call them? I came to visit the Black Falls tribe and sent a message to your chief Childe?"
Xiong De and Bao De were confused by the bird's language, so Peng Tusi translated Duke's words in another language.
Then Xiong De roared a few words in a loud voice.
Translated by Peng Tusi: "We have informed the chief and the priests, please wait here and don't move."
Duke raised his eyebrows: "I am a druid, have you told them?"
Peng Tushi was stunned for a moment, and then she spoke to Xiong De and Bao De with some fear and reluctance, spitting out a string of incomprehensible words.
Obviously, she is still worried about Duke's behavior of catching her just now.
However, after Xiong De and Bao De listened, Duke could feel that their attitudes instantly changed from full of hostility to a hint of awe.
Fortunately, there is no need to say anything more. Baode, who went to report, has already brought a group of natives.
The leader is the Bard who according to Duke's induction has reached the level of 6th level. He is probably Child, the chief of the Black Falls tribe. The rest are all 4th and 5th level Bards, and they are all very young. They should be the ten old priests that Peng Tusi mentioned.
After Chief Child saw Duke, he looked him over briefly and then started asking questions in a language that Duke didn't understand.
Seeing Duke frown slightly, he seemed not to understand.
He immediately changed to the language of birds: "Dear guest, are you looking for me?"
Childe did not mention that Duke was a druid when he reported it, but as a sixth-level Bard, Childe could vaguely feel the pressure of Duke's aura. He had experienced such pressure from the roaring **** Usokel.
"Yes, I'm looking for you." Duke responded in bird language, "I came from the Whirlwind Forest and planned to look for the Golden Goat Tribe, but I didn't find it. I only found your Black Falls Tribe, so I came here to visit. Let me talk to you about something."
"The Golden Goat Tribe?" Childe said in surprise, "They are far away. I once met Owad from the Golden Goat Tribe. They are going to the north to visit the cyclone **** Harpiah!"
“Harpie is a good friend of mine,” Duke said.
"Ah!" Childe was surprised again, "So you are...are you a druid?"
"You can say that."
"Druid!" Childe's attitude changed instantly. He bent down respectfully and extended his hand, inviting, "Dear Druid, your arrival has made the Black Falls tribe flourish. Please come to us first. In the Black Waterfall tribe, drink a glass of newly brewed monkey wine!"
So, surrounded by the respectful presence of Chief Child and ten old priests, Duke entered the Black Falls tribe and walked into the tallest thatched hut.
Invited to take a seat.
Chiard and ten old priests formed a circle and sat cross-legged on the ground.
At the door of the thatched house, Bird Depen Tusi poked her head curiously, but she was quickly pulled away by the neck by some Owad warriors guarding outside the thatched house.
"I strayed into this land from a distant place and got acquainted with Harpie. It was deeply troubled by a group of gorillas, one of which was at the level of a jungle god." Duke briefly recounted his experience. .
The jungle gods he refers to are Yarons.
After all, there is no concept of spiritual beasts here. All animals are considered to be wild beasts, and the most powerful 9-ring spiritual beasts among wild beasts are comparable in strength to the gods of the wilderness, so they are called jungle gods.
"I killed this jungle **** and wiped out the gorilla group so that Harpie could build a nest on the oak tree." Duke continued, "But I don't know the way of nature, so it Tell me, when I went to look for the Golden Goat Tribe, I didn’t expect to find your Black Falls Tribe instead.”
Chiard was already in awe.
He said with admiration: "Although you don't know the way of nature, you have killed the jungle gods. There is no doubt that you are a great druid!"
Understanding Duke's great strength, Childe and the old priests suddenly became more enthusiastic about Duke.
After a few words of conversation, he vowed to teach Duke the ways of nature, and also planned to introduce Duke to Usokel, the Roaring God.
"Our Black Falls tribe is very weak, and we don't even have druids, but Master Usokel is willing to protect us. We have the inheritance of bear virtue, leopard virtue, bird virtue, and wolf virtue... The main language in the tribe is bear language, Wu Lord Thorkell also only speaks bear language."
If you want to transform into a beast, you must first master the language of the beast. Each type of transformation inheritance has a corresponding language.
"I will learn the bear language, leopard language and wolf language first. After I learn it, I will meet Usokel." Duke made a decision immediately.
Preparing to stay in the Black Waterfall tribe, learning a new language and practicing the way of nature.
Child naturally nodded in agreement, and personally taught Duke the way of nature: "We humans are not wilderness elves, and cannot master the power of the wilderness. We can only rely on the way of nature, through the form of mimicry, to borrow the power of the wilderness."
After a pause, he added: "Of course, in addition to the natural way, there is also the shamanic way that can also control the power of the wilderness... Lord Duke, are you practicing the shamanic way?"
“The way of the shaman? What is that way?”
"The way of nature transforms into beasts, and the way of shamanism communicates with souls. Simply put, the way of nature is to communicate with the power of the living wilderness, and the way of shamanism is to communicate with the power of the dead wilderness...The power of the wilderness is alive. Death, like day and night.”
Obviously, Duke is not a bad guy.
He shook his head and said: "I practice the way of spiritual arcana and the way of knights. I believe that everything in the world is in the spiritual arcana... Go outside and I will show you a thing or two."
Said.
He got up first and came to the open space in the center of the Black Falls tribe.
Then with a wave of his hand, the 7-ring forbidden technique - the Grasp of Immortality poked out from the void, and its terrifying power caused cracks in time and space.
Chief Childe and the old priests were also shocked by this.
With another wave of his hand, the grip of immortality dissipated. Duke looked at everyone calmly: "This is the power of spiritual arcana. Next, I want to see how you practice the natural way and the shamanic way. And how to control the power of the wilderness.”
Hearing this, the Bards, led by Childe, began to perform one after another.
Transforming into a bear, a leopard, or a wolf, the combat effectiveness is really good. Basically, it combines the power of spiritual beasts with the flexibility of humans.
Judging from Duke's perspective, the combat power of a 6th-level Bard is stronger than that of a 7th-level spiritual beast, and is roughly equivalent to the level of a 4th-level arcane earth mage—the ring level of the spiritual arcane system is far higher than the ring level of the spiritual beast system. Basically, it belongs to a higher level existence.
The 4th level earth arcane mage can already kill the 7th level spirit beast.
The ring is only a definition of life level and cannot measure combat effectiveness. The reason why the spiritual arcane system is powerful is not only that it can be cultivated to a higher ring level, but also because its combat power bonus to the ring level is too great.
Among the spiritual beasts, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd levels are the first level, the 4th, 5th, and 6th levels are the first level, the 7th and 8th levels are the first level, and the 9th level is another level.
A 1-level arcane mage can surpass a major level and kill a 4-level spirit beast.
4th level earth arcane mage can also go beyond a major level and kill 7th level spirit beasts.
Even a 6th-level Sky Arcane Mage, if he works harder, may not be able to surpass two major levels and kill a 9th-level dragon without the help of the stars.
The way of nature is weaker than the spiritual arcana. It is feasible to kill spiritual beasts by leapfrogging, but it is probably not possible to kill spiritual beasts by leapfrogging.
"It's just that it's a little weak, but the way of nature can be cultivated continuously, and it may not be able to give birth to beings that can rival the stars." Duke thought in his mind, "This is still a road to the sky, and it is worthy of me to bring it back to the Wilderness Continent! "
Waiting for Childe and others, after the performance was over, Duke said: "I have seen the way of nature, and I yearn for it, but what about the way of shamanism?"
"Cassidy is the only one who knows the way of shamanism." Child thought for a while and said, "But Cassidy's mind is a little abnormal... He often shouts that the devil is coming, the devil is coming, and now he is imprisoned in the waterfall. In the water prison down there.”
“Bring him here, I’ll see him,” Duke said.
The old priests all looked at Childe. Childe frowned, but still waved his hand and said, "Go and bring Cassidy over."
A moment later, Cassidy, who was as thin as a hemp pole, appeared in front of Duke.
His aura was very decadent, only about level 2. He had a big beard, mixed with his hair, covering his entire face.
"Aji Aba..." When I opened my mouth, I couldn't understand the bear language.
Then Cassidy kept yelling and couldn't use the shamanic method at all, so Duke stopped forcing it.In the following days, I spent all my time learning the ways of nature.
"If you want to master the way of nature, you must first understand the heart of the wild. Only by understanding the heart of the wild can you master the method of transformation." Child said, "For example, if you want to transform into a bear, you have to communicate with the bear. Be a companion, learn all about it, and finally understand the wild heart of a bear.”
While Duke was thinking hard, Child added: "Abandon your reason, awaken your animal nature, and let the wild heart replace the human heart. Only then can you get rid of the shackles of the body and experience the power of the wilderness!"
“Awakening the beast…”
Duke has been able to control the power of the wilderness. What he lacks is the cultivation part of the way of nature. When Childe introduced the way of nature in detail.
The complete process of practice blossomed in his heart.
Empty his mind and feel the animalistic nature of a bear. Gradually, Duke felt the power of the wilderness flowing rapidly through his body.
next moment.
He roared suddenly and landed on his hands. His body and limbs quickly grew thick hair, as well as muscles knotted under the hair.
The clothes were torn and the body was torn.
He has turned into a three-meter-tall, majestic black bear, taller and more majestic than any bear in the Black Falls tribe.
"A familiar feeling!" Duke felt his new body. "It's less effective than the elf incarnation or the true dragon symbiosis. This body is completely supported by the power of the wilderness. I can feel the power of my wilderness. , Breaking through!”
If we say that before the transformation, he was at most the level of a 3rd level Owad.
So now, it has reached the level of 4th Ring Bard.
The control over the power of the wilderness has obviously reached a new level.
It's just a step. What improves is the control effect of the Wild Power, not the Wild Power itself.
The pure increase in strength is negligible.
"Master Duke, your Xiong De form is so burly!" A female Xiong De old priest looked at Duke's transformation and seemed to swallow secretly.
This made Duke's fur rise with goosebumps: "Stay away from me, Purman!"
Purman, the priestess of Xiong De, immediately took a few steps back reluctantly, but still stared at Duke with burning eyes, reluctant to look away.
Child on the side also quickly transformed into a brown bear, which was about three meters tall. He roared with fighting intent: "Master Duke, why don't we compete with each other!"
"good!"
Duke responded quickly.
Then he pounced on Childe fiercely. One black, one brown, two three-meter-tall bears, they pounced on each other like this crazily.
Without the use of psychic powers, Duke relied solely on the power of the wilderness to fight Childe Grizzly.
The bear's paw was raised high, and in an instant it became as big as half a door, and slapped Childe **** the head. But Childe was only hit on the head and the hair on his body stood up, and he quickly neutralized the force.
Then he slapped Duke away with his backhand.
Then he chased the black bear that Duke had transformed into, and beat him violently, leaving Duke stunned and unable to parry.
The indigenous people around the Black Waterfall tribe saw that Duke was beaten unilaterally, and it was boiling, and they shouted to cheer for Chard.
Bird Depen Tusi expanded her nostrils arrogantly: "What a Druid, you are no match for the Chief!"
Childe himself was extremely excited, as if he was really hanging a druid and beating him.
While beating, others stood up, beat their chests, roared to the sky, and vented their excitement.
but.
Duke, who was being beaten violently, did not feel embarrassed at all, and his eyes did not even change at all from the beginning to the end.
“Xiao Yi, the information collected is almost there.”
“Master, I have summarized Child’s many skills in using the power of the wilderness, and established a basic material library for the inheritance of Bear’s virtue.”
"very good!"
When Childe swooped over and was about to slap him again, Duke had already communicated with Chicken in his heart: "Come on, Chicken, fight side by side with me!"
Chick snorted, and then rushed out of the air sea. Without condensing his body, he quickly merged into Duke's body.
In an instant.
Duke's black bear's body was raised by fifty centimeters, its hair became blacker and shinier, and he raised his bear paw, which was also a few circles larger, to directly block Childe's slap.
But Child quickly raised another bear paw and knocked Duke away again.
"Not enough, not enough. If you fuse the chicken, it will only be at the level of a fifth-level Bard. You have to continue to fuse!" Duke quickly calculated his combat power with the help of Xiaoyi, "Then, next It’s your turn, Oak Spirit.”
"Okay, Lord Duke." The oak spirit flew out of the air sea, and like the chicken, directly merged with Duke.
The black bear's body once again increased by fifty centimeters, turning into a four-meter-tall behemoth. It stood up directly despite Childe's violent attack.
Childe didn't realize it, he was beating like crazy, and he hit Duke with a heavy hammer regardless.
Duke was still no match for him. The black bear's body was just more capable of parrying than before, so he wouldn't be easily knocked away.
“The 5th ring is full, but the 6th ring is less than...it’s still not enough, Ogham, it’s your turn!”
“Roger that, Lord Duke.”
Ogan flew out of the air sea and merged with Duke. This time, the black bear's body was once again raised fifty centimeters, turning into a four-and-a-half-meter giant beast.
The aura has finally reached the level of 6-ring Bard that Duke is quite satisfied with.
"Roar!" Childe was elated with the cheers of the natives of the Black Falls tribe. His body ran rampant like a tank and turned into the bear's paw of the gate. He raised it high for an unknown number of times, and countless powers of the wilderness gathered on it. .
Then, aim at the black bear that Duke transformed into, and swing it down again.
The brown bear's eyes flashed with crazy fighting spirit, and at the corner of its ferocious mouth, there was a bloodthirsty and cruel smile.
But the next moment.
His bear's paw, which was like a gate, encountered resistance for the first time.
The shouts of the natives were still there, but he himself felt a sense of solemnity. The fighting spirit was still boiling, but his smile gradually faded away.
This slap remained in a stalemate for several seconds, but still could not be taken.
But it was the black bear transformed by Duke who raised his left arm. The concentrated power of the wilderness made the bear's arm as hard as steel, firmly blocking Childe's bear paw slap.
"Child." Duke said in a dull bear language from the bear's mouth, "Thank you for your teaching. Next, it's my turn to show off."
The words have not yet finished.
He stretched out his right arm, and the claws at the front of the bear's paw instantly stabbed out four bayonet-like nails, gently scratching the bear skin on Childe's chest. The blooming blood was fleeting. The power of Childe's Wilderness heals the wound.
But Duke's counterattack horn has already sounded, and then with Xiaoyi's precise assistance, he perfectly demonstrated the attacks that a Xiong De can perform.
The power of the wilderness is like an arm and a finger, far more efficient than Child's.
because.
Duke is originally a wilderness elf, so he does not need to rely on Xiong De to borrow the power of the wilderness. The mother of all things did not grant him any special abilities, but the power of the wilderness embraced him tightly.
Bite down, bite Childe's neck, swing his mouth, Childe was thrown to the ground hard.
Before Childe could react, Duke stepped forward. The bear's paws grew larger than the gate, and with the violent force of the wilderness, he slapped Childe hard.
A slap, another slap.
The druids’ skills in controlling the power of the wilderness are ever-changing.
However, the Druid's fighting style is like a beast, primitive and bloody, with all changes hidden under simple attacks.
Huge power was implemented, and Childe was instantly in crisis.
Duke's black bear body fully unleashed his combat potential. With the blessing of the three great elves, the power of the wilderness he gathered reached the level of 6th level Bard. Xiaoyi's precise assistance allowed him to perfectly display the 6th level Bard. maximum potential.
Along with the primitive attack moves, the muscles of the black bear's body move, and the fur and fat sway in accordance with the movements of the muscles.
Like the most lustrous black satin, reflecting the brilliance of the sun.
"Roar!"
The roar of a bear.
The claws of the black bear always pinned Childe, the brown bear, to the ground at just the right moment as he tried to struggle to get up.
Then, the black bear Duke was allowed to brutally torture him.
The bear's skin was torn into pieces, the bear's blood splattered everywhere, the bear's teeth were all broken, and the fighting spirit in the bear's eyes quickly turned into fear.
The majestic roar also turned into a puppy-like wail.
"This is the way of nature to fight. I like it very much, I like it very much!" Black Bear Duke roared with a grin, his sharp teeth stained with blood, "The hearty fighting, the strength of the punch to the flesh, how can How can it not make people happy!”
He was happy.
The natives of the Black Waterfall tribe who were watching gradually became silent. Their shouts had faded away, and they were left dumbfounded. They turned their heads and couldn't bear to look directly.
Niao Depeng Tusi, who was originally the most excited, was frightened by the flipped picture. Seeing the chief whom I respected and worshiped the most in the past, was being pressed to the ground and rubbed, making a whining sound like a puppy, and allowed the tyranny of Duke, the foreign black bear.
There seemed to be a click in her heart, and something was broken.
“Chief…Sir…”
I don’t know how much time passed, but Childe, the brown bear, was already lying in the pit like mud, leaving only a faint gasp.
Black Bear Duke finally vented all his emotions.
Looking at the silent natives around him, he roared up to the sky, and then the bear skin from the bear's mouth began to split, and it was quickly split into two. The powerful black bear body disappeared in an instant along with the split of the bear skin. Only Duke was left naked.
certainly.
Duke, who had already experienced it, immediately materialized the arcane armor and turned it into a set of half-body armor to cover his body.
Then snap your fingers to instantly cast a 1st level arcane spell - Healing.
Child, whose bear skin also cracked in the pit and returned to his human form, was treated for injuries that were bruised and bruised all over his body and missing pieces.
Then, Duke smiled slightly and said to Childe, who was absent-minded: "I am very satisfied with the way of nature."
