Chapter 149: The Rise of War City
In the Sacred Water Tribe.
Inside a spacious wooden house, War City paced back and forth, anxiously waiting for news.
The Flame Mountain Tribe had finally arrived.
Yi Chen, the greatest genius in the history of humanity, was about to present himself before him.
After two years of preparation, enduring hardships, he had begun to adapt to the life of this Primitive Era.
The second step of his plan had finally come.
Just as the people in the live room guessed, he had taken the path of brotherly loyalty.
Upon discovering that he was randomly placed near the Misty Forest, his first thought was to execute this plan.
Before being sent to the exile planet, he had researched the regions of the exile planet, where an ordinary person could conquer powerful fierce beasts.
The Misty Forest was one such area.
In this Misty Forest, there was a magical spring.
Regularly drinking the holy water from this spring could significantly enhance one’s physical condition.
Most importantly, this holy water was also extremely attractive to fierce beasts.
The Sacred Water Tribe had relied on this holy spring, along with generations of time, to gradually tame many fierce beasts, allowing them to survive and thrive in the Misty Forest.
He had endured countless hardships, obtaining holy water from other tribes, and faced numerous dangers to finally reach the center of the Misty Forest and the Sacred Water Tribe.
Then came the bold ascendancy.
Spending more than half a year, he used various means to get close to a few of the tribe’s most powerful fierce beasts and win their favor.
With his superior physical condition and combat skills, he successfully defeated the chief and took over his position.
The greatest difficulty in this process was not how to gain the closeness and recognition of the tribe’s strongest fierce beasts.
Nor was it about enhancing his body, improving his fighting techniques, and studying the chief’s combat habits to defeat someone who regularly used holy water and had an equally impressive physique.
The biggest challenge lay in the fact that over a hundred fake heavy criminals lurked in the Sacred Water Tribe, and nearly all shared the same ambitions as he did.
These fake heavy criminals were his greatest obstacles to seizing the chief’s position.
Looking back now, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Those more than six months felt like dancing on the edge of a blade.
At night, he had to remain vigilant while dreaming up various plans.
The main reason was that among these fake heavy criminals, there were many like him who wanted to obtain the chief’s position through their wits and abilities.
There were also numerous treacherous individuals unleashing a variety of schemes.
Some even went so far as to eliminate other competitors early, using the lives of tribe members as a way to lay their plans.
Walking the right path, compared to walking the wrong path, was inherently at a disadvantage.
He could win the final victory not only because of his strength and intelligence, but also due to successfully gaining the support of many fake heavy criminals in the later stages. Luck was also a crucial factor.
After successfully seizing the chief position, he began to subdue the most powerful fierce beast in the Misty Forest, the Level 50 Gale Tiger.
Using holy water as bait and leveraging the strength of the tribe’s powerful fierce beasts, he ultimately managed to capture the Gale Tiger.
In War City’s eyes, his plan had succeeded by over ninety percent.
The mission was accomplished, and victory was in sight!
After that, he patiently endured loneliness and anxiety, continuously expanding the Sacred Water Tribe, capturing powerful fierce beasts, and collecting various spirit mines.
Because all three were what Yi Chen desired.
After defeating Yi Chen and merging with the Flame Mountain Tribe, these things could make Yi Chen feel that they shared the same ideals and compatible personalities.
Additionally, because of his noble spirit, he chose to voluntarily give up the chief position.
The bond of brotherhood was naturally forming.
Even if an enormous accident occurred and he lost to Yi Chen, these actions would still be enough for him to gain Yi Chen’s favor and be entrusted with important tasks.
After all, Yi Chen was known for being open-minded.
The old chief of the Flame Mountain Tribe, Tai Shi, was entrusted with important responsibilities due to his decent talent and became the leader of the Western Army among the four armies.
He never expected that a huge accident would actually occur.
Two months ago, a spy infiltrated the tribe to steal holy water.
Moreover, the spy managed to escape even after being pursued by two fierce beasts that were just over level 40.
Even though he had prepared for the possibility of Yi Chen personally or sending trusted subordinates to infiltrate the Sacred Water Tribe, and he had secretly instructed and warned the tribe’s powerful fierce beasts not to kill anyone under any circumstance, the spy’s lucky escape exceeded his expectations.
Although he was unaware of Yi Chen and the Flame Mountain Tribe’s development over the past two years, based on his calculations, even if Yi Chen’s strength continuously surpassed expectations, he should only have the strength of a level 30 fierce beast at this stage.
Instead, the strength of the spy obviously exceeded that of a level 30 fierce beast.
There was no doubt that Yi Chen’s strength was stronger than that of this spy.
This sudden revelation significantly lowered his previously high confidence of over ninety percent.
Moreover, the longer he delayed, the lower his chances would become.
Hence, he could not help but feel an urge to lead an army directly to the Flame Mountain range.
Only by doing so could he ensure that he defeated Yi Chen before his strength increased to the point where he could conquer level 50 fierce beasts.
But this action would completely disrupt the normal expansion and development order of the Sacred Water Tribe.
If Yi Chen learned of this one day, he would certainly become suspicious.
Fortunately, just when he hesitated, the team that went out to battle discovered that a tribe had been conquered in advance, and all the members had been taken away.
Undoubtedly, the Flame Mountain Tribe, using the holy water stolen by that spy, had resolved their visibility issues and begun their advance into the Misty Forest.
This was a tremendous blessing for War City.
For the past few days, he anxiously waited for scouts to use some keen-sensed fierce beasts to investigate the movements of the Flame Mountain Tribe team.
“City Brother, we found the location of the Flame Mountain Tribe team!”
A fake heavy criminal burst in, full of excitement.
“Where?”
War City rejoiced.
“It’s a bit strange. Through that spy, they should know the location of our Sacred Water Tribe.”
“But this Flame Mountain Tribe team is deliberately taking a detour, staying about a hundred kilometers away, looking for other tribes, as if they are treating those scattered tribes as targets.”
“It feels like they are setting a trap to lure us into attacking and then ambush us in return.”
The fake heavy criminal did not hide his judgement.
Upon arriving at the exile planet, everyone’s goal was the same: to find a way to get close to Yi Chen, or even control him.
However, most didn’t know which force the others were behind.
But no matter what, whoever succeeded would get the promised benefits and rewards.
Everyone else was a competitor.
The remaining fake heavy criminals in the Sacred Water Tribe willingly stayed and even obeyed War City’s orders.
This was all because War City had a special charisma and boldness.
After eliminating those vicious fake heavy criminals and successfully seizing the chief position, he directly gathered all the supporters and those who had remained hidden and did not participate in the fighting.
He announced that those who wished to leave would be escorted by fierce beasts out of the Misty Forest.
Those who had formed a bond with him and supported him could be sent directly near the Flame Mountain Tribe, with a few tamed fierce beasts given to them as a means for promotion.
Those who wanted to stay would help him develop and expand the Sacred Water Tribe, and he was willing to share authority.
In the future, when merging with the Flame Mountain Tribe, they would all be brothers, helping each other in difficult times.
As for approaching Yi Chen, they would not interfere with each other and would compete fairly based on their abilities.
To dispel Yi Chen’s suspicions, he would not deliberately suppress others’ developments in the Flame Mountain Tribe; instead, he would choose to retreat to the background and cut off ties with the Sacred Water Tribe.
The vast majority of fake heavy criminals chose to stay.
Because although there was only one Yi Chen, there were more than one opportunity to get close to him and gain his trust.
When the two tribes merged, War City would step back and focus on cultivating brotherhood with Yi Chen.
They could huddle together for warmth, support each other, and easily rise to high positions in the Flame Mountain Tribe, seeking opportunities to gain Yi Chen’s trust and favor.
This was far better than waiting for half a year and then running to join the Flame Mountain Tribe to start from the bottom.
It was precisely for this reason that the more than fifty remaining fake heavy criminals, though each harbored their own thoughts, kept looking to War City for direction, doing their utmost to develop and build the Sacred Water Tribe according to his vision.
