Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom

In the jungle, Heru was taken aback and asked in return, "Isn't the Steel Teeth Tribe extinct?"

As far as Heru remembered, there indeed existed a Steel Teeth Tribe in the jungle, with whom the Crimson Star Tribe had a strained relationship.

However, several years ago, the Steel Teeth Tribe had vanished without a trace.

While out scouting, Heru once stood atop a hill and observed the Steel Teeth Tribe's camp. He found it deserted, and later informed Sovita about this, but even Sovita couldn't make sense of it.

Although neither of them had paid much heed to it.

In a world imbued with supernatural powers, unusual occurrences were not uncommon.

Yet now, the Steel Teeth Tribe had suddenly resurfaced.

This matter is a bit suspicious.

Upon hearing Heru's question, Priest Ripjaws responded with a disdainful tone and a scoff, "Extinct! That's just a misconception spread by you outsiders. The Steel Teeth Tribe could never go extinct!"

Heru regained his composure.

He gestured for the other Vanguard squad members to prepare for combat and addressed Priest Ripjaws, saying, "Priest Ripjaws, we are from the Crimson Star Tribe. We are simply passing through."

Without understanding the specifics, Heru was not inclined to divulge details about the tribal market.

Ripjaws frowned, "The Crimson Star Tribe? Wait, you're from that coward Sovita's tribe?"

Heru's expression darkened as he replied, "Priest Ripjaws, I ask that you respect Lord Sovita."

From the current development of the Crimson Star Tribe, it was evident that Sovita did not compare to Enzo, but during the difficult times before Enzo's arrival, Sovita had managed to sustain the tribe.

Heru understood this well.

Moreover, Priest Sovita had been his mentor and guide.

Therefore, when Ripjaws intentionally mocked Priest Sovita, Heru felt immense anger.

However, Ripjaws continued to laugh mockingly, "What's wrong? Isn't Sovita indeed a coward? Whenever there's a disaster, he hides away with his tribe. It's laughable that such a person could become a tribe's priest. And as for you, since you've encountered us, you might as well die!"

With those words, Ripjaws made the first move.

Yet, the next moment, he found himself dumbfounded.

The spear he thrust was firmly grasped by Heru, immobilizing him, while the other Vanguard squad members easily subdued the rest, who groaned in pain, clutching their stomachs.

Ripjaws' expression turned extremely grim. "All of you are tribe's warriors?!"

He realized the gravity of the situation.

Meanwhile, Heru spoke coldly, "Apologize to Priest Sovita!"

However, Ripjaws suddenly burst into laughter again, mocking, "Apologize? To Sovita, that coward? He should be the one apologizing to me!"

Then, Ripjaws shouted loudly, "Lord Arceus! I call upon your descent!"

Heru realized something was amiss.

He instinctively looked up and suddenly saw a gigantic blue serpent crawling out of the valley. The python's body was as thick as half a meter and stretched tens of meters long. Its snake tongue hissed, its icy vertical pupils fixated on Heru and his companions.

Taking advantage of Heru's momentary distraction, Ripjaws seized back the iron spear.

Then, he knelt before the giant snake and said, "Lord Arceus, I offer three essences of supernatural beings and beseech you to destroy these people."

The giant snake nodded in a human-like manner.

The serpent's tail swept lightly, scattering the Vanguard squad with ease. Several members suffered broken arms and ruptured organs, their life forces rapidly declining.

"Aargh"

Heru let out a painful cry, and a silver white light appeared all over his body.

He held a spear in one hand, jumped up high, and stabbed towards the eyes of the giant snake.

The giant snake's tail swiftly swept over, sweeping Heru away.

Seeing this scene, Ripjaws was extremely excited. He walked towards Heru, who had fallen to the ground, and without hesitation, stabbed his spear into Heru's only remaining arm, mocking him, "The people of the Crimson Star Tribe are no match! Heru, you look so pitiful! And the team members you brought, they will all be killed one by one by me! "

Heru had a look of hatred in his eyes, but his bones seemed to scatter and he was unable to move.

Ripjaws became even crazier and shouted, "Fuck! Fuck you! All of you will die! Everyone!"

Then Ripjaws raised his spear and aimed it at Heru's heart, stabbing it heavily.

Heru was overwhelmed with despair and guilt in his heart. He muttered to himself, "I'm sorry, Lord Enzo, I have disappointed you."

Suddenly, Enzo's voice rang out, "Heru, it's not your fault."

Heru jerked and looked around, eyes filled with surprise. "Lord Enzo!"

Ripjaws was startled by Heru's sudden movement, causing the spear he had dropped to skew off and embed itself in the nearby soil. After confirming there were no others around, Ripjaws calmed down and sneered, "Lord Enzo? Heru, thinking of trickery at a time like this!"

As Ripjaws spoke, he raised his spear again.

But before the spear could fall, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

A green vine had pierced through his chest.

What was this?

Ripjaws was bewildered. He didn't die immediately, but the vine had destroyed his windpipe, making it hard to breathe or speak, only able to feel his life slowly slipping away.

Meanwhile, a blend of blue and green light radiated from Heru.

The light gathered in mid-air, gradually taking the form of a young man. With a casual gesture, dozens of green rays flowed into the bodies of the Vanguard squad members who had been scattered by Ripjaws earlier. Their injuries swiftly healed, and in moments, they were all fully recovered, standing respectfully before the young man and shouting, "Lord Enzo!"

It was indeed Enzo.

In the ritual square, Enzo discovered that using the Scepter of the Barren Mountain not only allowed him to sense the positions of tribe members.

Moreover, he could transmit his own power through tribal members, achieving an effect similar to the descent of legendary deities. However, transferring this power requires the support of a totem warrior like Heru.

Ordinary tribe members couldn't bear it.

Moreover, the transferred power would diminish over time and couldn't be sustained indefinitely.

Undoubtedly, this function of the Scepter of the Barren Mountain greatly facilitated Enzo. Since reaching the Level.3, his strength had increased significantly, enough to sustain this form for an estimated three days.

According to Enzo's calculations, this would undoubtedly accelerate the tribe's development further.

But for now, there were urgent matters to attend to.

Enzo raised his head, looking towards the giant green serpent, and demanded, "Was it you who attacked the Crimson Star Tribe's people?"

The blue serpent's eyes showed caution. Its instinct told it that the man before it was not to be trifled with, and it hesitated, fearful. Its massive body began to slide sideways, attempting to leave.

Enzo chuckled lightly, "Did I give you permission to leave?"

The blue serpent was bound by vines, making it difficult to move, and this undoubtedly angered it.

Hissing loudly, its colossal body began to twist, scales glowing with a green light. The light shot out, slicing through the air towards Enzo.

Enzo's expression remained unchanged.

This blue serpent was not yet considered a giant monster. By the classification of supernatural powers, it was at the peak of the Level.1. In the eyes of other tribes in the jungle, it was invincible, but to Enzo, it was just a small serpent.

In the next moment, countless vines burst forth from the ground.

Several of them instantly pierced through the serpent's body, binding it tightly.

The blue serpent roared and struggled incessantly.

Members of the Vanguard squad watched dumbfounded, utterly shaken.

Ripjaws, not yet dead, widened his eyes. He, who needed to kneel and pray to Lord Arceus, was utterly powerless before this young man?

Who was he exactly?

Why did the jungle harbor such formidable power?

Ripjaws couldn't fathom it, nor did he have time to think. His consciousness faded, and his life came to an end.

At this moment, the blue serpent, now filled with fear, ceased its struggles. It lowered its massive head and slowly approached Enzo, then prostrated itself on the ground.

This was a gesture of submission.

The submission of a fierce beast was unparalleled in loyalty.

Once subdued, it would fight to the death for its master. Enzo gently placed his hand on the serpent's head, accepting its submission.

At this moment, Enzo felt a vague thought.

The green serpent raised its head and peered in a certain direction, as if indicating something was there.

Enzo then withdrew the vines from Arceus on his body. Arceus howled in pain but ceased struggling, curling up to stem the bleeding.

After releasing some totemic power, Arceus's wounds began to heal.

At this time, Enzo's figure gradually faded.

Heru, noticing something amiss, grew anxious. "Lord Enzo!"

Enzo waved his hand. "I'm fine."

He continued, "Heru, go take care of the rest of the Steel Teeth Tribe!"

Heru promptly responded, "Yes!"

The battles between tribes in the jungle were always brutal.There was nothing unusual about this.

After killing the other members of the Steel Teeth Tribe, Enzo gestured for Arceus to lead the way.

Arceus's massive body crushed through the undergrowth, swiftly gliding along. Before long, it led Enzo and his party to a valley. This valley seemed to be the camp of the Steel Teeth Tribe, but there were no longer any living souls there.

More precisely, there were no living humans.

In the camp, many wooden huts had been erected, and in front of these huts stood numerous desiccated bodies.

Heru's face turned pale. This sight was beyond his comprehension.

He worriedly asked, "Lord Enzo, what is this?"

Enzo, equally uncertain, looked towards the giant serpent Arceus. Arceus cautiously slithered, guiding Enzo through the valley camp and finally stopping at the entrance to a cave.

Enzo inquired, "So, there's treasure inside?"

Arceus nodded its massive head and hissed towards Heru and the others.

Enzo then asked, "Is it dangerous for them to go inside?"

Arceus nodded slightly.

With that, Enzo entered the cave and was suddenly met with a horrifying scene...
