?39: Chapter 39: The Blood Moon Lord’s Rival 39: Chapter 39: The Blood Moon Lord’s Rival Even with the loss of human lives acting as a barrier to Zhou Tian’s infiltration, and having made such a decision, the Skeleton Tribe continued to lose many of its members due to their firm resolution.

    Despite the strength of Zhou Tian’s Beastmen now surpassing theirs, they still were unable to penetrate deeper.

    Once the battle reached that point, then came the war of attrition.

    Regardless, given the current situation, Zhou Tian didn’t have any concerns.

    If the battle continued like this, then the powerful Beastman Clan, who held the advantage, could naturally defeat their opponents.

    Even though this operation required more effort than Zhou Tian originally anticipated, if they could bring down the Skeleton Tribe, their initial goal would have been achieved.

    Zhou Tian felt that the game was largely in his control, and thus he didn’t feel the need to stay back and wait for the results.

    The new Skeleton King, who ascended to the throne, was undoubtedly weaker than the Skeleton King who had allied himself with Zhou Tian.

    Additionally, due to the death of the original Skeleton King, the Skeleton Tribe’s Bone Scythe had fallen into enemy hands.

    Furthermore, the new king didn’t possess the same foundation as the old king.

    Thus, even though there was a new Skeleton King, Zhou Tian had completely lost interest in him.

    Zhou Tian naturally wouldn’t pay too much attention to an opponent he had lost interest in.

    Considering his Beastman warriors possessed the strength to fight the opponent and seeing that victory was basically assured, Zhou Tian naturally shifted his focus elsewhere. Sёarch* The N??elFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    In the end, Zhou Tian didn’t stay to watch the final moments of the Skeleton Tribe.

    After leaving some instructions, he left the Skeleton Cave and returned directly to the Beastman Clan’s base.

    Everything was going according to Zhou Tian’s plan.

    After successfully annexing the Skeleton Tribe, he just needed to replenish the military power he had lost, stabilizing his position.

    Then he would be the leader surpassing the original power of the Skeleton Tribe.

    However, Zhou Tian, full of confidence and just waiting for good news, didn’t seem to have considered the possibility that the Skeleton Tribe could still have some tricks up their sleeve.

    Would things really go as he assumed without waiting for the final result?

    And the result was…

    “What!” When Zhou Tian suddenly heard the message, he sprung up from where he had been sitting.

    Things did not go as Zhou Tian had planned.

    Just when he though the Skeleton Tribe was trapped, the remnants of the Skeleton Tribe gave Zhou Tian a lesson before their demise.

    Zhou Tian had received a lot of information since he arrived in this world.

    Now, although he wouldn’t claim to understand everything about the current world, he was undeniably the leader who understood this world the most in the history of the Beastman Clan due to the flood of information he had received.

    However, even with his deep knowledge, Zhou Tian didn’t know that the second layer of the Skeleton Cave was connected to the outside world.

    No one knew who sealed it before, but had the seal been lifted by someone, the area originally connected with the Skeleton Cave would be connected again.

    In the past, the Skeleton Tribe unsurprisingly would not have linked up with other places without a good reason!

    Although the strength of the Skeleton Tribe in the Novice Village was good, they were considered a weaker race in the outside world.

    Given their strength, any rational Skeleton King would not do such a thing.

    However, when the Skeleton Tribe was now facing the threat of annihilation, the Skeletons naturally became capable of anything.

    As a result, while the Skeleton Tribe retreated to the Skeleton Cave, they resisted the invasion of the Beastman Clan while mobilizing the entire tribe to decipher the seal.

    In the end, thanks to their familiarity with the seal, the Skeleton Tribe managed to break it just before all their members fell to the Beastman Clan’s invasion of the second layer of the Skeleton Cave.

    When the Skeleton Tribe broke the seal, the calm battlefield instantly underwent a drastic change.

    There were no accidents with the Skeleton Tribe’s demise.

    Not only did the Beastman Clan not let them go, but the monsters that connected to the Skeleton Cave after the seal was broken did not spare them either.

    Due to attacks from both sides, the Skeleton Tribe was completely annihilated at that time.

    However, the extinction of the Skeleton Tribe was not important, what mattered was that the Skeleton Tribe’s retaliatory action before death brought a huge crisis to Zhou Tian.

    Who could have imagined that the bottom of the Skeleton Cave would be connected to the outside world?

    Moreover, the tunnels connected to the bottom of the Skeleton Cave didn’t belong to other powers, but ended up belonging to a subordinate branch of the Lord of Hades.

    The Lord of Hades is an ultimate BOSS not weaker than the Blood Moon Lord.

    Its main characteristic is that, while it is part of the Undead Tribe, all its underlings were all basically members of the Undead Tribe.

    Although not all of the Undead Tribe followed him, it was undeniable that the Lord of Hades was among the top existences of the Undead Tribe.

    Needless to say, the strength of the Lord of Hades had limited relation with Zhou Tian.

    However, the information Zhou Tian obtained made him realize just how grave the current situation was.

    Zhou Tian had obtained explicit information from the Blood Moon Lord, the Lord of Hades was very disgruntled with him.

    Though they managed to control their disapproval due to their common NPC enemies, it was inevitable that their disagreements were reflected in their subordinate’s actions.

    Even if Zhou Tian occupied the Skeleton Cave, he might still be able to coexist peacefully with other lords’ forces.

    But their superiors’ poor relationship ensured that Zhou Tian would hardly get along with these new ‘neighbors’.

    In fact, even before Zhou Tian’s stance was even clear, the new ‘neighbors’ found by the Skeleton Tribe had already reacted.

    Whether it was due to knowing Zhou Tian’s faction or being typically aggressive, the Undead Monster under the command of the Lord of Hades didn’t stop fighting after the annihilation of the Skeleton Tribe.

    On the contrary, after killing all the members of the Skeleton Tribe, they immediately launched an attack on the Beastmen under Zhou Tian’s command without uttering a word.

    What followed was a one-sided battle.
