Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 416 The Wise Man

"Or, we could take advantage of the chaos, create conflict between the Bone Giant Lizard and other ferocious beasts, weaken the Bone Giant Lizard, and then make our move..."

Zhou Leng casually mentioned a few things, and all the ferocious beasts' gazes towards him changed.

What a vicious, hairless, ferocious ape!

How could someone be so vicious?

These military strategies, which seem ordinary in the human world, cannot be recognized in the world of ferocious beasts.

At first, the ferocious beasts all objected.

Gradually, the younger ferocious beasts began to express different opinions.

"We can't use underhanded methods, but using a little trickery is fine."

"I think the strategy of 'luring the tiger away from the mountain' is good, although I don't understand why we used the weak tiger clan as an example. It's not shameless of us to directly attack their main force."

"Yes, if luring the tiger away from the mountain is shameless, then if they are on the mountain and we are at the foot of the mountain, aren't they shameless too? They have more people than us, aren't they shameless too?"

"The decapitation strike was good too. I thought it was fierce and domineering, and I like this kind of fighting style. Killing their experts and then running away is exciting."

After much discussion, the elders of the ferocious beasts finally made a decision.

Given the vast disparity in strength between the two sides, we can try this once, but it will not be repeated.

So, the beasts joined forces to make preparations.

Three days later, a tribe that had submitted to the Bone Giant Lizard was attacked by two thousand ferocious beasts.

Upon learning of this, the Bone Giant Lizard tribe dispatched an army of three thousand to rush to the rescue.

Upon reaching a canyon, the rested mammoth army launched a frontal assault.

The giant monitor lizard was exhausted, terrified, and completely disoriented.

The eight-toothed mammoths used a half-decapitation tactic.

A few Grandmasters are used to restrain a large number of Grandmasters, while the strongest Mammoth Grandmasters join forces to launch a fierce attack on the lone Bone Giant Lizard.

As the Grandmasters of the Bone Giant Lizard fell one after another, the morale of the Bone Giant Lizard army continued to collapse.

In the end, the mammoth army defeated a similar number of giant lizards in a direct confrontation, with only a hundred or so escaping.

The eight-toothed mammoth had never experienced such a peculiar victory; it never imagined that it could defeat the powerful giant lizard so easily.

So the ferocious beasts celebrated on the spot, and no one could stop them. Zhou Leng repeatedly warned them to be careful of a sneak attack, but to no avail.

That night, Zhou Leng was drugged by the ferocious beasts. After waking up, he was dubbed the "Sage of the Ferocious Beasts".

The giant lizards were stunned by the attack and retreated to the Giant Lizard Mountain, too afraid to come down.

The mammoth army also suffered heavy losses, with over five hundred ferocious beasts killed in action, and more than half of them severely wounded and unable to fight.

This battle jolted the eight-toothed mammoth back to its senses. After celebrating on the spot, it returned to Steel Lake to heal its wounds.

The way the ferocious beasts looked at Zhou Leng was quite different.

Especially for non-octagonal mammoths, in addition to worship, there is also a hint of fear.

This hairless, ferocious ape is incredibly poisonous.

The eight-toothed mammoths floated on the lake with the ferocious beast elder, listening to Zhou Leng formulate the future program for the mammoth race.

"I believe that the previous mammoth tribe made the mistake of recklessness..."

"For a tribe without demigods, the best course of action is to build high walls, store up plenty of grain, and delay declaring oneself king."

“Look at you all, you have no walls, no food, yet you declared yourself kings too early, and even challenged a larger number of demigod descendant tribes.”

"If I hadn't noticed something was wrong, I wouldn't even know how I died..."

“Developing a community is not something that can be done on a whim; it requires developing one long-term plan after another…”

While rapidly browsing online materials, Zhou Leng fiercely trained the ferocious beast.

The ferocious beasts behaved themselves.

Zhou Leng's tone was anything but polite, because he himself was also frightened by this battle.

This battle was the one in which the eight-toothed mammoth suffered the greatest losses. If it had charged up Mount Giant Lizard without regard for the consequences, it would likely have been killed in battle and would have had no chance of escape.

As Zhou Leng continued his lengthy discourse, the ferocious beasts gradually came to understand.

The ferocious beasts are not lacking in intelligence; it's just that they don't use their intelligence in this area.

The civilization and culture of ferocious beasts do not revere this kind of fighting.

One of the Thirty-Six Stratagems could enable the world of ferocious beasts to evolve for three thousand years.

What Zhou Leng said later could allow the world of ferocious beasts to evolve for 100,000 years.

However, since the ferocious beast resisted overly insidious methods, Zhou Leng didn't say much.

For ferocious beasts, which pursue the ultimate evolution of their individuality, excessive scheming is actually detrimental to their evolution.

Appropriate is sufficient.

After Zhou Leng finished speaking, the ferocious beasts flattered him, and a group of grandmasters praised Zhou Leng as the greatest sage in the history of the ferocious beast world.

Listening to the ferocious beasts' praise, Zhou Leng finally realized just how powerful the Heavenly Calamity God's dimensional attack was.

It's not that the gods are particularly clever; it's that advanced civilizations are too ahead of their time.

It's not that we're particularly clever, but rather that human civilization is strategically more advanced than the beast civilization.

However, in terms of physical evolution, the civilization of ferocious beasts far surpasses that of human civilization.

After the army rested and prepared, they recruited a thousand ferocious beasts from Mammoth Town, ready to crush the Bone Giant Lizard in one fell swoop, at all costs.

This was a joint decision made by Zhou Leng and the ferocious beasts; war had been declared. If they couldn't press on with their momentum, a major problem would inevitably arise one day.

This time, the Mammoth Army decided to fight a fair and square battle.

The army rushed to the foot of the giant lizard mountain, then to the top, only to find the lizards' habitat empty and stand frozen in place.

The giant monitor lizard has escaped.

This is rare in the world of ferocious beasts.

Only then did they realize that the previous battle had been so difficult, and that they must have wiped out the main force of the Bone Giant Lizard.

"Awooo..." The eight-toothed mammoth raised its long trunk, its roar echoing across the mountaintop.

In the first battle against the demigod tribe, the eight-toothed mammoth won a great victory.

Due to its strategic location, Giant Lizard Mountain was renamed Mammoth Mountain by the Eight-Toothed Mammoths and became their core settlement, replacing the former Mammoth Town.

Mammoth Town retains only a few ferocious beasts as a place for young beasts to grow up.

Over the next few days, Zhou Leng followed the eight-toothed mammoth to sweep through the surrounding area, winning one battle after another.

In battles against ferocious beasts, Zhou Leng was often forced to go all out, and occasionally even encountered the power of a Grandmaster-level ferocious beast, flying around in all directions.

One battle is worth more than ten ordinary battles.

The life-or-death battles with the strongest races in the Ten Realms eliminated the hidden dangers of insufficient combat experience and rapid advancement.

After the expedition ended, Zhou Leng took turns resting at various ferocious beast lakes.

They left the world of ferocious beasts, having amassed a great deal of wealth there.

Upon arriving at Xiaoru Village, they received a message from the Snow Mountain Wolves of the Ice and Snow Cult.

"High Priest, the initiation ceremony for this year is about to begin. My mentor said that he hopes you will come to the Demon World as soon as possible so that you will not miss the initiation ceremony."

"To welcome you to the Church, the Ice and Snow Cult has prepared a generous gift."

"In addition, Emerald Wings also participated in this year's initiation ceremony. He is currently at the Water Island Base and hopes to discuss an important matter with you."

"If you have time, please reply to this message and he will video chat with you."

Zhou Leng sent a video call to the Snow Mountain Wolf.

A moment later, the Snow Mountain Wolf appeared on the other end of the video call.

"Please wait a moment, I will go find Emerald Wings, and then you two can have a private talk."

The Snow Mountain Wolf found the Emerald Wings and handed over the enchanted wristwatch.

A huge nostril appears in the video footage.

The screen swayed wildly, with dragon skin, dragon teeth, and claws appearing one after another before finally settling down to reveal the enormous head of the Emerald Wings.

“Zhou Leng, hello there, this thing is too small,” Emerald Wings complained.

"What do you want from me?" Zhou Leng thought to himself, "Could it be about 'Slaughtering Mountain Battle Body'?"

Emerald Wings revealed a fawning smile and said, "The great Crimson Eyes Queen loves talents from all walks of life the most, and you, my friend Zhou Leng, are the only talent among the ten races I know. Congratulations on becoming the Crimson Eyes Queen's partner."

"Speak like a human being," Zhou Leng said.

The Emerald Wings said, "The Crimson-Eyed Queen hopes you will enter the Great Battlefield and help her find some special treasures. She will provide you with battlefield maps that are rarely seen outside, allowing you to get ahead of others, obtain treasures in advance, and become invincible, suppressing the ten realms!"

"I'm not going." Zhou Leng knew it couldn't be good news. Among the dragon race, the gold and silver dragons were relatively kind, while the Crimson-Eyed Dragon was the most brutal of the red dragons.

Moreover, I've heard that Scarlet Eyes has a terrible reputation; they're said to enjoy plundering, and their reputation is even worse than that of Tyrannical Blood.

"Oh? That's a great battlefield, how can you not go?"

"Will you go?"

Emerald Wings wilted and said, "I don't want to go either, but I have no choice."

“I can’t do anything about it,” Zhou Leng said.

"Won't you reconsider? I can find a way to get Her Majesty the Queen to give you more benefits."

"Life is more important than benefits."

Emerald Wing Dragon Claw slapped his thigh and said, "No wonder I always felt we clicked; you've hit the nail on the head. But... if you don't go, I can't find any other partners."

"Many people would be suitable to go in."

"It's not that I look down on them, I really look down on them."

"Where is the Crimson Flame?"

"Little trash."

Where is Aiden?

"Little mad dog."

Where is Zhao He?

"You little rascal."

"Yamagawara."

"I dare to let him come, but does he dare to come?"

"What about the Ice and Snow Cult?"

"When the spirit masters start fighting, they just hide behind me. What am I supposed to do?"

"There's nothing we can do about that," Zhou Leng said.

"Why don't you consider it? Let's team up and trick the Queen out of some good stuff."

"for example?"

"She has a treasure trove full of remnants of advanced civilizations. Some of the items look very much like those from a martial arts civilization. I asked her to give them to you."

"Tell me the truth, was what she asked me to do dangerous?"

"Danger."

Zhou Leng said, "I truly consider you a friend."

Emerald Wings' eyes darted around, glancing left and right before bringing the giant dragon head closer to the screen. She whispered, "I think you won't lose out by cooperating with her. She tells you to go to dangerous places, so you go? Take the benefits, and as for what she does, turn a blind eye. What can she possibly do, even invade your Dragon Kingdom?"

"It has nothing to do with that. The Dragon Clan has a terrible reputation. I can't cooperate with them unless they grant me immunity from death." Zhou Leng had absolutely no desire to have anything to do with that kind of ferocious dragon.

Emerald Wings sighed and said, "Then the Battlefield Shield Token is troublesome. Let me put it this way, the Zhao Clan is powerful, right? At most, they can only get one or two. It's not that you humans are incompetent, it's just that this thing is monopolized by giants and dragons."

"I know giants, I should be able to get it."

Emerald Wings laughed, "Should? Don't you know these things were allocated years ago? The Youth Battle is good, it just means more pills. The Great Battlefield is different, it's a real place of ups and downs, the Ten Realms Battlefield. Because there's a high chance of a Heavenly Rank appearing this time, all the major forces have been preparing for it for years. If you want it now, it's too late."

"Let's talk about it later," Zhou Leng said.
