Chapter 43

Chapter 41: The Enemy Reinforced

As he moved forward, Tuobawild felt that enduring the suffering was not only slow but also exhausting. He decided to go all out, slaughtering the venomous insects and directly extracting their venom sacs.

Tuobawild was responsible for killing the venomous insects, while Tuer Ye helped extract the venom sacs, storing them all in Tuer Ye’s spatial pocket.

The defensive capabilities of the venomous insects were far weaker than those of fierce beasts.

With a sweep of Tuobawild’s blade, a large number of venomous insects were cut down.

As for the fierce beasts, they were busy fighting each other and did not pay any attention to Tuobawild. He also did not initiate any conflict with them.

Tuobawild swept through, fully focused on slaughtering the venomous insects and collecting their venom sacs.

The venomous insects were countless, and it was impossible to kill them all.

Tuobawild fought for several hours until his body felt weak. Only then did he leave the blood-soaked area to find a place to rest.

The disturbance caused by Tuobawild led to the destruction of many venomous insects and fierce beasts.

The commotion was significant, and some of the powerful figures from the Southern Wilderness found it suspicious. They searched the forest carefully but found nothing.

Tuobawild was hidden in the forest, and no one could find him.

After recovering his strength, he took out all the venom sacs collected by Tuer Ye and absorbed the venom on the spot, converting it into the Invisible Poison.

In just a few hours, they collected tens of thousands of venom sacs. After converting all the venom into the Invisible Poison, it formed a fist-sized clump, with the blue light becoming much deeper.

The process of refining the venom took Tuobawild a considerable amount of time, and before he knew it, it was evening again.

In the evening, the venomous insects and fierce beasts would come out to hunt.

When the venomous insects and fierce beasts hunted, they became extremely violent, even their controllers could not command them. Therefore, the powerful figures controlling the venomous insects and fierce beasts did not dare to follow, as it would be a suicidal act.

Tuobawild estimated that the venomous insects and fierce beasts would soon appear. He killed a few magical beasts, spreading the scent of blood to attract a large number of venomous insects and fierce beasts.

There were too many venomous insects and fierce beasts in the forest, and it was impossible to clear them all in a short time.

Tuobawild was not in a hurry. He treated it as a training session for the Invisible Poison, slowly wearing down the venomous insects and fierce beasts, determined to kill them all.

The large-scale slaughter made Tuobawild’s body exude a lot of killing aura. Every night, he would kill tens of thousands of venomous insects.

As for the magical beasts and fierce beasts, they mostly fought each other, and Tuobawild rarely intervened. Only when the battles were not intense enough did he create some bloodshed to stimulate the magical beasts.

These fierce beasts, lacking the intelligence of humans and unable to resist the stimulation of the scent of blood, became extremely violent and savage once stimulated.

Tuobawild made good use of this, causing heavy losses to the fierce beasts.

As for the venomous insects, almost all of them were killed by Tuobawild. Even venomous snakes dozens of meters long had their heads crushed by his fists.

He hunted in the forest for half a month, and a large number of venomous insects and fierce beasts disappeared. The controllers were in a panic and quickly left the forest with the remaining venomous insects and fierce beasts, no longer daring to hide them there.

They changed locations several times, but every time the venomous insects and fierce beasts went out to hunt, many of them were lost.

Finally, the powerful figures from the Southern Wilderness decided to abandon the plan to use venomous insects and fierce beasts to encircle and kill Tuoba Xiong and his group. They instructed the controllers to take the venomous insects and fierce beasts away from this place of conflict.

It was well known that the powerful figures controlling the venomous insects and fierce beasts in the Southern Wilderness had very high status. If they suffered any losses, the consequences would be severe.

During this month, the powerful figures from the Southern Wilderness strengthened their defenses and searched everywhere but could not find the culprit.

Tuobawild spent his days in hiding, refining the venom from the venom sacs, and acted at night, sweeping through the venomous insects and inciting the fierce beasts to fight each other.

The month seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. The Invisible Poison in his body was still fist-sized but had been compressed many times, becoming even more toxic.

A single drop of the Invisible Poison now contained ten times more toxins than before.

Tuobawild had also tested it. Using his primordial energy to activate the Invisible Poison, he could quickly incapacitate a large number of fierce beasts, and there was no antidote.

Unless he personally intervened, the Invisible Poison was incurable, and even the blood of Shadow Flower Consort could not detoxify it.

Tuobawild had integrated too many other venoms into the Invisible Poison, causing it to change and become different from before.

The Invisible Poison was colorless, odorless, and无形, making it a powerful and lethal weapon. It could kill without leaving a trace.

In a battle against a strong enemy, he could secretly use the Invisible Poison. Even if it couldn't kill the enemy, it could weaken their strength, giving him a chance to defeat them.

However, Tuobawild knew that the Invisible Poison was not invincible. Ultimately, strength was the most important factor. If the opponent was far stronger than him, his Invisible Poison would not harm them.

After dealing with the venomous insects and fierce beasts, Tuobawild carefully investigated the enemy situation.

He discovered a problem: the Southern Wilderness army had increased by tens of thousands, and there were hundreds more先天武神-level experts.

Facing so many powerful figures, Tuobawild felt a sense of unease.

The races of the Southern Wilderness were extremely warlike, having long been accustomed to living with venomous insects and fierce beasts, making them very powerful in combat.

However, the races of the Southern Wilderness lacked unity, or they would have long broken through the Southern Border defenses and invaded the Warring States.

Although there were only 20,000 troops, Tuobawild did not dare to underestimate them.

The powerful figures from the Southern Wilderness were fearless and difficult to deal with, a well-known fact.

Once the charge began, the Southern Wilderness army would advance relentlessly, causing a major headache.

Tuobawild knew he couldn't wait any longer. The Southern Wilderness might continue to send more troops.

He made a quick decision, found the weak point in the defenses, and sent a signal to Tuoba Xiong and Tuoba Jie to break through.

After sending the signal, Tuobawild went into hiding, preparing to provide support.

The Southern Wilderness army naturally saw the signal.

"Bad news, a signal has appeared. It seems Tuoba Xiong is about to break through, and Tuobawild must be nearby," a Southern Wilderness general shouted.

"Immediately issue orders to strengthen the alert. Guard your areas and absolutely do not let Tuoba Xiong break through. Also, have the先天武神-level experts prepare. They are the sharp edge for killing Tuoba Xiong and Tuoba Jie," said Man Xiao, the leader of the Southern Wilderness' largest race, the Man race, and a long-time rival of Tuoba Xiong. However, each time Man Xiao faced Tuoba Xiong, he suffered defeat, not because he lacked wisdom but because Tuoba Xiong had the advantage of the Southern Border's terrain.

Man Xiao had fought Tuoba Xiong over a hundred times and knew him very well.

Seeing that Tuoba Xiong was likely to break through, Man Xiao did not dare to be careless. He immediately mobilized his troops and began to make full preparations, just in case.

The 20,000 troops surrounded the exit of the Soul-Breaking Valley, and the先天武神-level experts were ready for battle.

Seeing the formation of the Southern Wilderness army, Tuobawild's expression turned serious.

Despite his young age, he was usually very calm, but this was the first time his expression was so grave.

The main reason was that his grandfather and father were inside the Soul-Breaking Valley, and he was extremely worried.

Tuoba Xiong and his group saw the signal and smiled with relief.

"Father, let's break through. Xiaoye is waiting for us!" Tuoba Jie said excitedly.

Tuoba Xiong replied, "Use the Adamantine Talisman and the Great Strength Talisman. We must go all out this time and absolutely cannot get entangled with the Southern Wilderness army."

He knew the Southern Wilderness army very well. If it were a regular army, once there were many casualties, it would easily collapse.

However, the powerful figures from the Southern Wilderness were different. As long as they did not receive an order to retreat, they would fight to the death, to the last man.

If they were entangled by the Southern Wilderness army, the situation would be very dangerous.

"Tuoba Jie, the Iron-Blooded Tiger Guards, listen up. Tuoba Jie and I will lead the charge, tearing open a gap. The Iron-Blooded Tiger Guards will then expand the breach and quickly join up with Xiaoye," Tuoba Xiong shouted.

"Yes!"

As a general, Tuoba Xiong had a remarkable presence. Despite the dire situation, he remained resolute.

They were not far from the exit and soon encountered the Southern Wilderness army.

"Tuoba Xiong, you finally decided to show yourself!" Man Xiao said with a smile.

This time, he finally had the upper hand and a chance to eliminate his strongest rival, which made him very pleased.

"To deal with me, your Man race has really gone all out, sending a large number of elite troops and many先天武神-level experts," Tuoba Xiong said with a smile. "You really think highly of me. Should I thank you?"

"Thank you? No need. Just leave your life behind!" Man Xiao said coldly.

"Ha ha..." Tuoba Xiong laughed loudly. "If you want to take my life, you'll have to pay a heavy price."

While speaking, he observed the situation of the Southern Wilderness army, knowing his enemy as well as himself.

When he saw that the Southern Wilderness army had doubled in size, he was somewhat surprised, but he did not show it.

The formation of the Southern Wilderness army had almost no weak points.

However, the defense of the Southern Wilderness army in the deeper regions of the Southern Wilderness was relatively weak, which was exactly the direction Tuobawild chose to break through.

Tuoba Xiong was very pleased that Tuobawild had chosen the correct direction.

The Tuoba family had produced a world-class genius. Even if Tuoba Xiong died now, as long as Tuobawild lived, he would be very happy.

Man Xiao did not order an attack but only prevented Tuoba Xiong and his group from escaping.

Their intention was clear: to trap and kill Tuoba Xiong and Tuoba Jie.

Of course, they did not know that Tuobawild was also there, so they still planned to lure him out.

If Tuoba Xiong and Tuoba Jie were killed, and Tuobawild found out, he would only seek revenge, not fall into their trap.

When the venomous insects and fierce beasts were killed, they did not consider that it was Tuobawild who did it. They thought he had not yet reached the Southern Wilderness, so they had already ruled him out.

They assumed that the venomous insects and fierce beasts were killed by other races in the Southern Wilderness. There were many races in the Southern Wilderness, and some did not get along with the Man race, so it was not surprising that they would do such a thing.

"Tuoba Xiong, don't be stubborn. Join our Man race, and I'll give you my position," Man Xiao said.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I will never submit," Tuoba Xiong said coldly.

"Tuoba Xiong, if you want to die, I can help you," Man Xiao said, truly angry.

He raised his arm, his eyes like lightning, a very terrifying sight, ready to give the order.

Seeing that the Southern Wilderness was about to attack, Tuoba Xiong became tense. He roared, "Charge!"

His voice was loud, shaking the sky.

Before his words had even finished, he led his group toward the area near the Southern Wilderness, ready to unleash a fierce attack.
