64: Bibo is on fire!
The Golden Scorpion Tribe had originally advanced in a long line, but due to being blocked by long-range attacks from the front, although not causing much damage, it greatly delayed their forward speed.
The front was slow, the back was fast, and eventually, they slowly piled up together.
The Golden Scorpion Chieftain wasn't worried; instead, he felt that with more people blocking the attacks, the propulsion speed would be even faster, allowing them to deal with the Lesser Spotted Eagle behind the sand dune sooner.
Seeing that the Golden Scorpion Tribe had gathered into a single block, Cheng Zhen felt the time was right and had everyone stop their actions.
When the Golden Scorpion Chieftain saw the other side stop, he thought Cheng Zhen and his Warriors had run out of arrows and immediately revealed a sinister smile.
Damn Lesser Spotted Eagle, let's see how you'll block him now!
"They've run out of arrows! Attack, Warriors, dye the Desert red with their blood!"
The Golden Scorpion Chieftain shouted, preparing for close-quarters combat with the enemy.
With his ability, even if an enemy Warrior was only lightly injured, he would lose his combat effectiveness, so the Golden Scorpion Chieftain was full of confidence in his own fighting power.
Seeing the enemy surge forward frantically, Cheng Zhen calmly raised his hand and uttered the familiar two words again:
"Fire arrows!!!"
Golden Scorpion Tribe:?!
No, you still have more???
They instinctively raised their shields again, but the other side did not immediately shoot a volley of arrows.
Was the other side just pretending?
The Golden Scorpion Chieftain frowned, just about to say something, when he saw some firelight on the other side of the sand dune.
Where did the fire come from?
Before he could think clearly, he saw firelight ignite in front of each of the people surrounding them.
From a distance, the archers drew their bows again, and what was nocked on the bowstrings were enchanted flaming arrows!
Countless arrows, with their tips ablaze, streaked across the sky like meteors, finally smashing into the enemy's chest like flails.
The Golden Scorpion Tribe members habitually raised their wooden shields to block again, but this time, something big happened.
The moment the flaming arrow touched the shield, it spread like gossip in a dormitory, engulfing the surroundings with an unstoppable momentum.
The speed was so fast that the Golden Scorpion Tribe members couldn't react in time and were instantly scorched by the flames.
"Ah!!!"
"Put out the fire! Quickly put out the fire!!!"
They frantically flailed their arms, trying to extinguish the flames, but the fire seemed to stick to the wooden shields and wouldn't come off no matter how much they shook.
Normally, flames wouldn't burn through a wooden shield so quickly. But Cheng Zhen had also coated the tips of those previous arrows with a flammable substance—oil!
This stuff ignites with just a touch, making it the best auxiliary for fire attacks.
As for where the oil came from…
In an advertisement, a certain chef, after losing his gas stove, also lost his oil bottle, leaving him and the waiter who had lost his beef noodles to stare at each other…
And during the continuous attacks just now, as the Golden Scorpion Tribe members continuously held up their shields, the grease on the arrow tips had already penetrated the wooden shields and splashed onto the surroundings with the successive attacks.
The wooden shields they were holding now were far more flammable than Boruto: Naruto Next Generations!
The Golden Scorpion Tribe members couldn't shake off the flames on their shields no matter how hard they tried, and in their panic, many sparks even landed on the clothes of other tribesmen.
The indigenous people's clothes were mostly made of animal hides, which are also flammable, so once they caught fire, it was truly life-threatening!
The fire on their hands hadn't even been extinguished, and many were already rolling on the ground to put out the fire on their bodies.
Before one wave subsided, another rose; while they were busy extinguishing the fire, the second wave of enchanted flaming arrows, also tipped with oil, struck again.
Even if A Kun Duo and the others were not accustomed to using flaming arrows, quantitative change leads to qualitative change; with so many arrows and so many targets, they could hit something even by guessing.
What's more, there were also large pieces of sunshade animal hide, which had just been used to cover traps, providing a huge target that was easy to hit, and the wind blew the flames further, spreading them to the surroundings.
Watching the renewed attack, the Golden Scorpion Warriors were panicking, not knowing what to do.
Holding the shield, it burned faster. Not holding the shield, he died faster.
"Calm down! Keep blocking!!!"
The Golden Scorpion Chieftain wanted his subordinates to calm down, but everyone was scared and in a state of chaos. His orders were easily drowned out by the shouts and cries of pain, unable to make any ripple.
And without the resistance of others, the flaming arrows shot straight towards the Golden Scorpion Chieftain. He dodged sideways, but the crest feathers on his head and the elaborate decorations on his body made it more difficult for him than other Warriors.
The crest feathers on his head caught fire, then spread to the surroundings.
The Golden Scorpion Chieftain, who had always maintained his composure, had no choice but to throw away his pride in a panic, discarding the headdress that symbolized his status.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
The Golden Scorpion Chieftain, with his hair on fire, buried his head in the ground like an ostrich. The searing pain made him roar heartbreakingly, and the Warriors around him quickly helped him retreat.
However, their tribe had just gathered together to advance, and now they were all crowded together, busy dodging attacks and putting out fires on this chaotic battlefield, making it difficult to effectively clear a path for retreat.
At this moment, the Golden Scorpion Chieftain wished he could step on others to escape to safety, only allowing people to hastily take him away, disregarding everything else.
Perhaps due to their fear of fire, when they could no longer resist, everyone scattered and retreated in unison, gradually clearing the way.
In the urgency of their butts being on fire, the Golden Scorpion Tribe members ran with all their might, wishing they could use both hands and feet to escape the range of the arrows.
But this ambush site was carefully chosen by Cheng Zhen; how could he let his prey escape so easily?
The location they had come from had already been circled by others.
The Golden Scorpion Chieftain, with his dark face and clothes, hadn't run far when he saw a group of people holding large axes blocking their way.
The weapons were massive in shape, their edges gleaming with cold light, clearly not to be trifled with.
But even so, the Golden Scorpion Chieftain still wanted to fight, at least he wasn't afraid of close combat.
Then, just as he was about to make a move, another person appeared beside him, shattering his will to resist.
"Oshoda, give up."
The former Vulture Chief was carried out.
"Esinlap?! How are you here!" The Golden Scorpion Chieftain's pupils contracted.
The Vulture Chief replied, "Because I was defeated, I have already surrendered to another tribe."
"You—" The Golden Scorpion Chieftain couldn't believe it. He knew best how great their advantage was; how could they be so easily defeated?
"Heh, nothing is impossible. Aren't you in the same situation now?"
The Vulture Chief looked at the Golden Scorpion Chieftain's pathetic appearance, with his head scalded by fire, and surprisingly felt a bit of schadenfreude.
It was probably the mentality of 'I'm so miserable, so I'm happy to see someone even more miserable than me'…
"Oshoda, I already know your Heavenly Gifted Ability! Using pain to weaken the enemy's combat power is indeed good, but unfortunately…"
The Vulture Chief smiled maliciously, "My Heavenly Gifted Ability can reduce the pain of the Warriors! If you don't believe him, you can try it."
"I kindly suggest you surrender. Your benevolent new master will spare your life!"
If the Vulture Chief still had a chance to turn the tide, he would definitely not help Cheng Zhen.
But he knew he no longer had a chance.
So… since he couldn't win anymore, he might as well drag another one down with him!!!
I've already lost, so you shouldn't expect to win either!
Looking at the Vulture Chief's ugly face, the Golden Scorpion Chieftain's hands trembled with anger.
What shocked him even more was that the Vulture Chief was completely right.
【Heavenly Gifted Ability: Piercing Scorpion Sting】
【Ability Effect: When actively activated, you and your tribe's Warriors will inflict a severe pain effect similar to scorpion venom and a nerve poisoning reaction on the enemy when causing damage to them. Skill Duration: 10 minutes. Poisoning Effect (Pseudo) Duration: 20 minutes. Can be used once daily.】
With his ability, even if the opponent was only lightly scratched, he would lose his combat effectiveness in excruciating pain.
However, when the Vulture Chief's ability was activated, it would reduce the Warriors' pain, greatly diminishing the effect of the Golden Scorpion Chieftain's skill.
The Golden Scorpion Chieftain, who was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, condition, and abilities, was already in despair.
When Old Xu blocked the people, Cheng Zhen also led his Warriors and pursued them from the other side.
In the encirclement of a human sea, the Golden Scorpion Chieftain had no possibility of turning the tables.
Cheng Zhen raised a hand, and many Warriors again raised the bows and arrows in their hands—
"Submission, or death?"
