Chapter 606: Da Dou vs the Earth Elemental Chief
Against Da Dou’s all-out attack, the earth elementals were paying with heavy casualties.
Taking advantage of when Da Dou was busy eating food and resting, the remaining earth elementals mustered together to build a final defensive line, still ready to defend it to the death!
The tribe chief was the only gold level in the tribe and had undoubtable prestige.
Although earth elementals were intelligent lifeforms, they didn’t have minds as flexible as humans and would rarely betray or rout.
Adding on the fact that Da Dou was attacking their home meant that these earth elementals were very angry.
Therefore, although the earth elementals had taken massive casualties, as long as the tribe chief remained undefeated, they still maintained morale.
“These stubborn rock heads, I will shatter each of you to pieces!” Da Dou clenched his teeth, straightened his chest, and began to attack again.
A few minutes later.
With a boom, Da Dou smashed a hole into the sacrificial cave.
He was covered in blood and cut and bruised all over, yet his battle intent had soared to its highest yet.
The earth elemental tribe elder was startled; they immediately stood up and turned around to look at Da Dou nervously.
The fishman youngster also coldly snorted when he noticed Da Dou.
“This Da Dou is really attached to Xiao Guai!”
“Instead of participating in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom’s ceremony, he would rather break its laws to steal away Xiao Gui, that indicates that he likely saw Xiao Guai’s potential.”
“A gold level potential would not cause Da Dou to be so excited. Therefore, he believes the big guy has at least a saint level aptitude!”
This matter made the fishman youngster aware of how attractive a saint level bloodline was.
It wasn’t just Da Dou; the gold level earth elemental tribe chief had stolen the big guy away because of this too.
But their goal was different from Da Dou’s.
They wanted to use the big guy as an offering to the Main Earth Elemental God in exchange for the Main Earth Elemental God’s divine favor, allowing them to break through the bottleneck in their life level.
“Bloodlines cannot be altered; this is common sense. But the gods can defy common sense and truly smash conventions.”
“Gods are omnipotent!”
As he thought that, the fishman youngster had a complex expression.
Although he was not a god, he was a divine emissary and after he learned many high level divine spells, the fishman youngster had a taste of how gods styled themselves as.
Just the divine spell Believer Perception had expanded his horizons greatly.
Although the fishman youngster had only been in contact with this church and divine spells for a short time, his clergy rank had risen step by step, and his understanding of the phrase “Gods are Omnipotent” had advanced by leaps and bounds. He now had a deeper comprehension of it than most clergy.
“But even if it is a god, improving bloodlines must come at a considerable cost.”
“If that weren’t so, they would have made batches of believers with high level bloodlines and cultivated them into experts with all they had.”
Considering the unfolding situation, the fishman youngster easily surmised this truth.
If gods didn’t pay a high price, then the world structure would be completely different. If this price was even a bit lower, then the saying “bloodlines cannot be altered” would not be a consensus of society.
The fishman youngster had seldom heard of times when gods acted personally to change a believer’s bloodline aptitude.
The fishman youngster came to realize that he was in a very rare situation!
“What is so different about this earth elemental that the Main Earth Elemental God grants them their favor?”
“I heard their litany; the Main Earth Elemental God seemed to have promised that they would break through the elemental’s life level bottleneck.”
“It seems the Main Earth Elemental God is capable of improving earth elemental bloodlines.”
“In terms of strength, the Main Earth Elemental God is the ruler of the Earth Element Plane and is the main god of a pantheon, they must be stronger than Charming Blue Goddess.”
“Charming Blue Goddess could change fishman bloodlines, so there is nothing strange about the Main Earth Elemental God being able to change earth elemental bloodlines.”
“Perhaps this is related to racial makeup of their clergy…”
“Charming Blue Goddess has fishman clergy, therefore she is capable of improving fishman bloodlines. The Main Earth Elemental God must have earth elemental clergy; therefore, they can change the bloodlines of earth elemental believers.”
The fishman youngster’s quick and smart mind quickly made a pile of conjectures.
“Truly a group of wastrels!” The gold level earth elemental tribe chief actually cursed.
They were now at the most crucial part of the sacrifice, and it could not be interrupted, or else all of their previous efforts would be wasted, unfortunately, this was when Da Dou had charged in.
During this impossible situation, the fishman youngster began to declare false oracles.
He told the earth elemental tribe chief that if they immediately repulsed the enemy and killed Da Dou, it would put the earth elemental tribe’s majestic presence and honor on display. As for the blood sacrifice, it could be suspended for now. After they won the battle, the earth elemental tribe chief could go back to it.
“My God, I will not betray the leniency and benevolence you have bestowed!” After the earth elemental tribe chief obtained this promise, they instantly became ecstatic and grateful.
Without the psychological burden, they immediately charged out and confronted Da Dou.
This battle was different from before.
Previously, the earth elemental tribe chief was persistently fleeing, doing their best to protect their offering, the big guy. They had no thoughts of fighting Da Dou at all. At the time, the blood sacrifice was the main event. Now, eradicating Da Dou has become their primary objective.
The fishman youngster’s false oracle was crucial, and while the earth elemental tribe chief was running away, they had been accumulating a lot of anger. Anger that their home had been invaded and hatred that their people had suffered disastrous casualties. Both spurred the earth elemental tribe chief into an energetically ruthless maneuver.
Bang, bang, bang…
Both sides fought fiercely, and for a moment, their blows caused rock to fly and earthquakes to tremor.
Da Dou’s eyes were already red from killing, warmed up with ample battle intent that burned like raging flames.
The earth elemental had been praying and sacrificing to maintain their peak state.
The giant and tall earth elemental fought like adult magic beasts battling with tooth and nail. They collided head on, and neither shrank back from the other’s heavy and powerful strikes.
Fists, bumping shoulders, headbutts, and other such attacks were thrown at each other, earnestly hitting flesh.
The cave was narrow, and this unusual battlefield caused them both to independently choose hand to hand combat.
Dao Dou was quickly battered badly.
While the earth elemental’s body was constantly shaking, with big chunks of it falling off.
But the earth elemental had the favorable location and quickly utilized the extremely abundant natural earth elements around to quickly regenerate their shattered body.
Da Dou knew that these exchanges were wholly against him, so he quickly used battle skills to constantly break through the earth elemental’s defenses and strike at their body.
But the earth elemental tribe chief had plenty of battle experience, and while they fought, they were also using their mental power to control the movement of their magic crystal in their body, perfectly evading Da Dou’s search.
Da Dou struck the earth elemental tribe chief’s body a dozen times yet didn’t even see a hint of their magic crystal.
After many fruitless efforts, Da Dou recognized reality and was forced to sigh to himself, give up on getting lucky, and start to use flame divine spells.
