The Great Worm Lich 226 Conquest One After Another

After he had completely regained his original look of a sea spiritual monster, the cuttlefish used the air as seawater while he swayed his tail, rising up to the sky and opening his mouth. Roaring, he charged upwards towards the strange insects that were diving down. His head grew to the size of a bark house and swallowed more than ten of Zhang Lisheng's insects at one go. 

"No poison is more terrifying than my blood." After swallowing the strange insects, the cuttlefish swam in the air and stretched his neck, before chewing and saying, "No matter who you are, it's a mistake for you to come to Menger today."

His proud bawling seemed to make the flying insects, that had changed their formation from diving into encircling, to sense some danger, as each of them slid out their sharp stinger on their tail and turned to launch a joint attack on Rockblock.

"I'm the son of the forest! I'm a spiritual monster made from rock. How can I possibly be less resistant towards poison than a fish from the sea?" When he saw the insect army charging towards him, the mud in the 100-meter area under Rockblock's feet surged and tumbled violently like boiling water as they filled into his body.

At that instant, the spiritual monster that transformed into a rock giant waved his big hand stiffly. Like slapping flies, he slapped onto three to four insects, prompting to shake his head. "Cuttlefish, looks like the guest visiting us today is a new-fledged Mainlander. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such an absurd mistake in the first place!"

"Rockblock, stop talking nonsense! Make way! Those delicious little bugs are mine." Seeing his companion slapping the insect army in the air and squashing them, the cuttlefish roared as he wiggled his body to swim in the air towards Rockblock.

"Cuttlefish, the fish herd has said before when they left that I must go all out to fight with the enemy…"

"Enough! If you're giving all of your might to fight now, you wouldn't have nagged and said so much words…" Cuttlefish showed an unbothered expression on his face plastered on the human head sitting on a fish's body.

Right at this moment, the remaining 80 insects surrounding the two Menger tribe spiritual monsters suddenly expanded to a size more than 30 times their original, as their thick belly swelled rapidly and exploded silently.

In the twinkling of an eye, the air in the area of ​​about 200 square meters around the cuttlefish and Rockblock suddenly twisted and collapsed layer by layer, forming a vacuum zone.

The two guardian spiritual monsters of Menger tribe slowly cracked amidst the violent air explosion with silent shrieks.

After Kyuuko's Air Blast omniscient power's force exhumed through the insect army, a high frequency whistling sound resonated from the surrounding air, pouring into the vacuum zone where Cuttlefish and Rockblock stood, directly compressing the two heavily injured spiritual monsters into pieces.

As Zhang Lisheng watched the guardian spiritual monsters of the Menger tribe die horribly, he muttered to himself, "Sometimes, wisdom is indeed more useful than brute strength." Expanding his body up to its limit, he transformed into a blue-yellow giant that was 10 meters tall and was full of square-circle scales, before roaring and charging towards the erected totem pole in the distance.

Right now, there was no longer any suspense in the battle. The beast herd outside of the tribe had made it impossible for Menger warriors to use jungle guerrilla warfare that the Hellfire people were good at. In the tribe's territory that had limited space, the war of these poor indigenous people who had lost the magic boost from the spiritual monsters was completely like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of Zhang Lisheng who resembled a 'self-propelled heavy air cannon'.

After killing more than 1000 tribesmen, Zhang Lisheng overthrew the Menger totem pole and took away the Menger tribal book of history from the tribal chief warrior who was trying to escape. He suffered only an insignificant light injury but had already managed to complete this battle of conquest to his heart's content.

After that, he sat on the totem pole that fell across the mud while holding the tribal book of history, he shrank his body back to become more than two meters high and commanded Beetlecar to run from the swamp towards him.

When the wizard gu crouched down, Zhang Lisheng frowned when he saw that no one was sitting on its smooth back. "Duba is dead…"

"No, Great Remodeler! Y-Your devout believer is not dead." A young aborigine with long limbs crawled out hastily from Beetlecar's raised posterior and stupidly looked around at the silent Menger tribesmen. "Y-You really did conquer the Menger tribe. This time, you conquered this tribe, that has 10,000 tribesmen, all by yourself. T-This is… is…"

"This is nothing! There were only two guardians in Menger. On top of that, they were very arrogant as well…" Zhang Lisheng curled his lips. "Well, these are no longer important. What's important is that now that I've overthrown the totem pole, the beast would soon hit us. Now, I'll let Beetlecar bring you back to Tudenan so you can tell Tugra to prepare to convert these Menger tribesmen. When you come back to report upon the completion of the task, bring some warriors with you to detain these prisoners."

"Y-Yes, Great Remodeler!" Duba stood up excitedly and crawled up the wizard gu using both his hands and feet.

Beetlecar galloped away while Zhang Lisheng looked at the Menger tribesmen who were gnashing their teeth, feeling their hatred that almost solidified under the illumination of the bonfire, before stretching his legs in a relaxed manner. "Now, the next step is to stop the beast tide and maintain the fruit of victory till dawn."

After that, he proceeded to expand his body to become more than 10 meters high again.

From the attacking pattern the humans could see from Shrimp B1 Island's gathering place, the highest destructive power of the beast tide was within the first hour.

Moreover, the creatures that inhabited the swamps were short and docile. When large-sized creatures from the outside formed a beast tide and hit the swamp, they would often take a detour due to the dense natural mud traps here.

Therefore, Zhang Lisheng only needed to form a continuous cyclone all night to kill two waves of the berserk beast tide before dawn finally arrived.

However, despite his luck, there were still hundreds of Menger people who died due to insufficient protection. Among the Tudenan warriors Beetlecar carried every trip, there were also over 30 people who died a violent death.

However, all of these sacrifices were completely worthwhile. When the animal tide subsided, Zhang Lisheng rode on the wizard gu and was surrounded by hundreds of indigenous believers holding spears, driving more than 7,000 Menger tribesmen to carry their totem pole in the bleak sun, trekking into Tudenan Valley from the jungle. At that time, Zhang Lisheng had become a true legend in the eyes of all the Tudenan people.

"Great Remodeler! You're Tudenan's glorious hope! You're the living faith in the hearts of the Tudenan people…" When the huge group walked up to the totem pole in the middle of the valley, Tugra had already fallen to the ground and constantly muttered his prayers.

"Alright, Tugra. Go convert these Menger tribesmen into Tudenan tribesmen! Remember, don't spread the news of Menger's destruction! Think about the tribes around the valley with a population of around 10,000 people and approach me later to tell me about them." Zhang Lisheng jumped down from the wizard gu and slowly walked into the big bark house enshrining the Tudenan tribal book of history.

"Yes, Great Remodeler!" Tugra kissed the faint footprint Zhang Lisheng made on the mud before speaking respectfully. As he knelt on the ground till the Remodeler's silhouette disappeared behind the curtain, his expression changed right away. Standing up, he shouted loudly, "Brave Menger warriors! The Menger blood pool has already been prepared! If you don't wish to convert to Tudenan, please go to the pit and slice your own throat!"

The moment his shout resonated, strong warriors with deathly pale expressions continued to walk out slowly from the Menger people. Without any word, they went to the pit that had been dug beside the Tudenan totem pole and stared at the Menger totem pole that had been thrown in the ground in a lowly manner as they pulled out the knife at their waists and cut their necks.

The cruel ritual began with the shout of the Tudenan headman and ended in the destruction of Menger totem pole and the tribal book of history.

Seeing that the tribe he ruled had changed from 10,000 people to more than 17,000 people, Tugra held the Tudenan tribal book of history as he walked into the big bark house next to the totem pole, before kneeling in front of Zhang Lisheng who was sitting on the animal skin that had a giant wild beast and a Demon's image projecting in the air behind him.

"Tugra, did everything go well?" Without letting the Tudenan headman wait for too long, the images behind Zhang Lisheng vanished as he opened his eyes.

"Remodeler, everything went smoothly. There are a total of 7,190 Menger people that have become Tudenan tribesmen."

"An absorption rate of more than 70%! That sounds pretty good!" Zhang Lisheng smiled in pleasant surprise as he made a remark Tugra could not understand. "Today, I plan to conquer another tribe that has 10,000 people. Which one do you think is suitable?"

"Remodeler, now that you've conquered Menger, the Vals tribe in the west of the forest is the nearest tribe to us."

"The tribe in the forest? Then we'll have to calculate the time properly. Otherwise, we'll only add a ration to the jungle beasts after we spend our energy pushing down their totem poles and obtaining the tribal book of history." Upon hearing Tugra's answer, Zhang Lisheng pondered and murmured before standing up to calculate for a moment. "Ask Tumu to prepare thirt… no! Forty warriors to see me."

"Yes, Remodeler!" Even though Tugra did not really want the powerful creature of an unknown attribute in front of him to have too much contact with his enemy in the tribe, he dared not raise any objection in front of Zhang Lisheng and could only kowtow respectfully, before standing up and walking out of the bark house.

On the same day, Zhang Lisheng reapplied the same technique and seized a hunting team of Vals to refine them into Corpse Puppets. When the tribe was praying to avoid the tide of animals at night, he broke through their weak defense.

After killing the only forest spiritual monster guarding the Vals using his insect army directly, he managed to conquer this tribe at dawn.

Then, as if history was repeated, after the Tudenan headman converted 8000 Vals tribesmen into becoming his tribal compatriots, he provided the third victim name for the Great Remodeler in the bark house enshrining the tribal book of history—Pavaro tribe.

After another day, Tudenan tribesmen began to have more than 30,000 people. However, since the two spiritual monsters guarding the Pavaro tribe were much more careful than the spiritual monsters Zhang Lisheng had come across before, he was severely injured despite his success in completing his conquest.
