Prime Originator - Chapter 1081: Returning Warriors

As the Divine Tortoise Tribe’s injured warriors fled from their pursuers, they became increasingly desperate. The distance between them wasn’t increasing; it was decreasing instead.

“Hurry! The Divine Tortoise Tribe is just within our sights! We’ll be safe as long we can make it inside the tribe!” an injured Mid-rank Battle King shouted.

“Dammit! Just what the hell are those things?! Why don’t they just die?!” a Low-rank Battle King cussed.

“They do die! However, every time they die, the others feed on their corpses and become stronger!”

“Dammit! I can’t believe the other tribes couldn’t take care of them! Physical attacks are basically useless against them!”

“If you have the spare energy to complain, then use it to reach the tribe first and have them open the gates ahead of time to receive us!”

“F*ck you! If you have the spare energy to lecture me, you can also use it to run ahead and reach the tribe first! I am already running at my quickest speed!”

“So am I!”

…

Rainshine and the others watched the group of injured warriors flee for their lives without moving from their location. They weren’t inclined to help strangers.

Nevertheless, as injured warriors drew closer, their pursuers entered everyone’s field of vision.

Rainshine and Goldenstride narrowed their eyes immediately.

“Those are… Whitebone Fiends!” Goldenstride quickly recognized the familiar creatures that crawled out of the abyss and attacked the Golden Suanni Clan.

The Whitebone Fiends had given the Golden Suanni Clan great trouble.

If not for the Golden Suanni Clan’s large number of Paragons holding the fort, it was hard to imagine how many members of the Golden Suanni Clan would have lost their lives to the Whitebone Fiends.

Furthermore, they would have died without an intact corpse.

Nevertheless, the Golden Suanni Clan’s Paragons still weren’t enough to defeat the Whitebone Fiends.

If they weren’t fortunate enough to have Cindertail and the Lord stepping in to save them, the Golden Suanni Clan would have most likely been destroyed by the Whitebone Fiends.

Goldenstride’s gaze frosted with killing intent.

With a decisive step, Goldenstride’s large body disappeared as he dashed forward, crossing a significant distance in a flash.

Swoosh!

Strong winds fluttered chaotically in his original location. Only Goldenstride’s giant paw print was left behind on the ground.

“Something’s coming! Be careful!” a Mid-rank Battle King shouted with alarm.

The Divine Tortoise Tribe’s warriors immediately felt greater despair as the huge Golden Suanni rushed toward them with incredible momentum.

Given its giant mass, it was definitely an apex predator that stood at the top of the world. Even Battle Gods can only be at its mercy.

However, before the Divine Tortoise Tribe’s warrior’s despair could fall to rock bottom, Goldenstride’s giant body soared over their heads. They weren’t Goldenstride’s targets.

Swoosh!

A powerful gust of wind followed.

Goldenstride reached the group of injured warriors’ rear in no time and confronted the pursuing group of Whitebone Fiends with a mighty lion roar.

Roar!

The ground shook, and the sky threatened to tear asunder under Goldenstride’s mighty lion roar. Even the Whitebone Fiends were stunned by it.

The Whitebone Fiends’ numbers weren’t many, only a fraction of what the Golden Suanni Clan faced.

Even so, it still had an Early Paragon among them, and that was more than enough for the injured warriors to regard the Whitebone Fiends as unstoppable due to their assimilating ability and tenacious lifeforce.

Alas, the Divine Tortoise Tribe’s warriors didn’t retain that impression for long.

The moment they saw Goldenstride’s golden fur lit up with intense golden flames as Goldenstride plunged into the group of Whitebone Fiends, several of them paused their escape to look on with astonishment.

White giants that they previously thought to be unkillable were burnt to cinders in an instance, and their ashes soon scattered to the winds.

After Goldenstride took down the biggest target, he went for the smaller prey. Without any hesitation or reservation, Goldenstride burned them all to fine crisps and ashes with his True Samadhi Golden Flames.

All Whitebone Fiends had to be utterly destroyed and erased from existence. They cannot be given chances to grow.

Absolutely not!

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and leave while that Golden Suanni is preoccupied with those fiendish creatures!” a High-rank Battle Master urged the distracted warriors before barking, “Do you want to become its food later?!”

The warriors were immediately shocked after hearing that.

That’s right! Just because the Golden Suanni was taking care of their enemies, it didn’t mean the Golden Suanni was automatically on their side!

Run!

The injured warriors resumed running towards the Divine Tortoise Tribe’s entrance without further delay.

However, it didn’t take long before they were forced to stop in their tracks once again. The main gate was opened, and unfamiliar people were standing outside of it.

“W-who are you people?” the leading Mid-rank Battle King asked with alarm. Seeing the horns on Nightingale’s head, everyone immediately assumed she was a demon and became shocked.

What was a demon doing in the Central Region?!

Nevertheless, Leon, Chief Ironshield, and the other tribesmen inside the Divine Tortoise Tribe had already heard the commotion outside and made their way out to check.

“What’s going on here?” Chief Ironshield questioned the Mid-rank Battle King after spotting him.

The Mid-rank Battle King’s eyes lit up with hope and excitement. After seeing Chief Ironshield, it was like all his problems and worries would be resolved right away.

“Chief! We’ve run into trouble! No, the entire Central Region has run into trouble!”

“I can see that,” Chief Ironshield frowned at the warriors’ injuries before noticing they were light-weighted. “Where are the spoils of your hunt? Did you fail? What kind of problem did you run into?”

As Chief Ironshield fired his questions, he also signaled the other warriors in the tribe to come forward and tend to the injured warriors’ wounds.

“My deepest apologies, Chief! We were forced to leave the spoils of our hunts behind to flee from the fiendish creatures chasing us,” the Mid-rank Battle King explained.

However, shortly after, he added, “We have to head inside right away, Chief! There’s a powerful Golden Suanni right outside our tribe! We’ll be in deep trouble once it turns its fangs and claws onto us!”

“No need. It is on our side,” Leon calmly stated while staring into the distance with a slight frown.
