88 The sacrifice of nature, the shadow of time.(1/2)
"On the way to your territory, we encountered a white dragon."
"It seems to be the one that was beaten up by the Langya clan before and fled. If this ferocious tiger relative of yours hadn't happened to pass by and help us resist its attack, we would have been in danger."
"Luckily, it didn't get too entangled."
Garen was stunned for a moment, feeling that his fate was really wonderful.
If nothing else, it was Bai Longniang who encountered the winter wolf such as Lang Xie when she returned. When she saw that this guy was the winter wolf that had beaten her before, she attacked them.
It’s just that after transforming them into dragon veins, Bai Longniang should be able to realize that they are Garon’s dependents even if she didn’t see the ferocious frost tiger.
Dragon Vein Familiars are usually stained with the dragon's aura that belongs to their master. Although it is very light compared to a real dragon, it can be regarded as an identity mark and is enough to identify the beings who are also real dragons.
"You know it's my retinue and you attack..."
Garen shook his head.
However, although she attacked the wolves and the others, looking at the injuries on their bodies, Bai Longniang did not take any serious action.
After all, it is still a real dragon that is about to reach adulthood. This number of winter wolves cannot defeat the White Dragon Lady.
In the past, the White Dragon Lady could be beaten back because of the cooperation of the entire pack of winter wolves.
It was probably for Garen's sake that they were allowed to return to the ice cliff territory with only minor injuries. After all, there had been grudges in the past, and evil dragons often hold grudges and are not big-hearted.
In this regard, Garen felt a little strange.
Bai Longniang doesn't seem to have a character that cares about her own face.
Gallon treats his dependents pretty well, but in Bai Longniang's eyes, the dependents are just food reserves and slaves, not worth mentioning.
This is somewhat abnormal.
He lowered his head and glanced at the Dire Tiger who was teasing the Dire Wolf, planning to immediately improve its dragon veins.
Having experienced the last war with the human army, it must have remembered the White Dragon Lady. However, when the White Dragon Lady attacked the Garon family, it still joined the battle without hesitation, injuring itself.
By upgrading its dragon veins, it might be able to gain the strength to crush some young dragons.
"What's going on with the Tauren tribe?"
Garen looked at Wolf Evil.
After the dragon vein transformation, the body shape did not change, but dragon scales grew on the skin, the cold air lingered between the mouth and nose, and the claws became sharper. Winter Wolf's face became serious and replied: "After you perform the dragon vein transformation for the Langxin clan,
After the transformation, the tauren are no longer our opponents."
"We led the wolves, crossed their high wall, broke through their tribe, captured a large number of tauren alive, and imprisoned them."
"The Wolfheart Clan makes them surrender to you in the name of the Eternal Dragon."
"However, they didn't appreciate it and resisted to the death."
Not all creatures are willing to become vassals of others, and this is the case for this tauren tribe.
Garen frowned slightly and said, "Resist to the death?"
Winter wolves are aloof creatures, and if Garen insists on using force to surrender, they will most likely rather die than surrender, so Garen promises to make the name of the Wolfheart Clan resound across the continent, and then seduce them with a gentle gesture.
But tauren?
Demihuman creatures are the easiest category to conquer. They can resist to the death, which makes Garen a little suspicious.
Faced with Garen's inquiry, Langxie confirmed: "Yes, they have a stubborn belief, and they are not willing to surrender under your dragon wings, regardless of coercion or inducement."
Stubborn belief......Jialong's eyes narrowed and he said: "What do they believe in? A certain god?"
Those who are not afraid of death and change their nature for this reason are already at the level of fanatic believers. Gods will always pay more attention to such believers.
Wolf Evil thought for a while, shook his head and said: "They are not gods. They shouted some words when they used their abilities. In the giant language, they seem to be called the spirit of nature, the spirit of the earth, etc."
Winter wolves can basically speak two languages, Common and Giant, and their learning ability is much higher than that of ordinary humans.
The reason why they can speak Giant Language is because there is a winter wolf clan that often cooperates with frost giants in hunting. Giant Language has gradually become one of the required courses for winter wolf pups.
After hearing Wolf Evil's words, Garen's eyes moved slightly, and the corresponding information recorded in the Dragon's Heritage appeared in his mind.
This Tauren tribe was the same as what he thought before, it was an animistic belief under the leadership of a Tauren shaman.
Shaman, sometimes called nature sacrifice.
What they believe in is not a real god, but a certain natural phenomenon or entity.
The earth, mountains, rivers, blizzards, flames...they believe in these natural things themselves.
In the eyes of natural worship, all things are animistic, and everything in the world has a soul. A tree, a stone, a flower, has the same status and value as intelligent life.
The fanatical belief in nature will receive a response from the spirits of nature, and they can gain some strange abilities as a result.
The spirits of nature are often wise, but their strength is hard to say.
Weak nature spirits can be driven away by a low-level spellcaster, but powerful nature spirits... have power comparable to gods, and they rely on their close connection with nature.
It is easier to influence the main material world than gods.
"The spirit of the earth that the tauren believe in, who can be called the earth, will not be weak among the spirits of nature."
"But they are not necessarily gods-level natural spirits. The number of natural spirits of this level is far less than that of gods."
Garen thought secretly.
The spirits of nature are good things. If you can obtain the spirits of nature, subdue them, and through their deep connection with nature, you can often get a subordinate who can see all directions and hear all directions.
If it cannot be conquered, then erasing the mind can create extremely powerful props, but Garen does not have this knowledge.
He just knew that there was such a record.
However, the spirit of nature has an absolutely neutral character.
Nature priests believe in it fervently and gain abilities through it, but in fact, the spirit of nature is an incarnation of nature's consciousness. It does not have many emotional fluctuations and does not require belief.
Unless forced by very special means, they almost never manifest themselves.
While Garen was thinking, Wolf Evil reported the results of the battle to Garen, and finally said with some hesitation: "It's just that a few tauren priests escaped, and when they escaped, they swore to attack and take revenge."
"They may want to attack you directly."
Galleon:........................
He leaned forward, approached the winter wolf, and then said in a calm tone: "This is just a simple test."
"I'm transforming your dragon veins to ensure that you can complete your mission."
"Lang evil, the results you gave me are unsatisfactory. Maybe the Langxin clan can change its leader."
The transformation of dragon veins into winter wolves has not improved their strength by any means. The tauren who used to be on par with them should now be no match for winter wolves.
Under Garen's calm gaze, Wolf Evil's body trembled slightly, and he lowered his head deeply, almost touching the ground, and said: "Due to the great increase in strength, some people were blinded by the power, so they relaxed their vigilance and despised the enemy.
"
"It was Lang Xie who didn't notice this and made a mistake."
"But please give me another chance."
"The sons of the Wolf Heart Clan are good at tracking. They are already hunting them down. They will not let those vulgar tauren disturb you."
Garen examined the wolf evil, and finally nodded slowly and said: "Capture all those tauren sacrifices alive."
"Then, bring them to the ice cliff territory."
He increased the difficulty of some tasks.
It is always more difficult to capture someone alive than to kill them.
After the frost giants were dealt with, the gemstone veins were obtained, and they just needed manpower to help him dig them out.
Neither the ogre nor the Arctic Ice Spirit is good at being a miner. The Arctic Ice Spirit is weak and can easily destroy gem veins with spell-like abilities, while the ogre is basically a big boss and is more likely to damage Galleons.
gem.
The tauren shaman, who believes in the spirit of the earth, is just right for this job.
Since you are not willing to surrender, then enslave them.
There are no pure slaves under Garen.
As for their stubbornness in refusing to obey... Garen felt that this was not a difficult matter to solve.
As long as it is not eternal oppression, give them a hope... there is a way to survive, and no living thing is willing to die.
What's more, for this kind of ethnic group, the acceptance of being enslaved is actually higher than becoming a dependent.
This will not shake their faith, it may even deepen it.
At the same time, after hearing Garen's reply, Wolf Evil breathed a sigh of relief. For a dragon of Garen's size, coupled with his mysterious and powerful abilities, the pressure brought by every move was too strong, and his face changed.
Shen, Langxie couldn't help but tremble all over.
Although the winter wolf is aloof and arrogant, it also depends on the situation.
Now that it has become Garon's dependent, it has long since put away its aloofness.
In fact, Garen prefers the aloof winter wolves and wants them to recover, but the winter wolves find it difficult to maintain that attitude in front of him.
