Chapter 244: The Voodoo Clan

Chapter 239 – Voodoo Clan
The main tribe of the Voodoo Clan had moved to a place not far from the mountains, erecting totems and setting up dense tents, with countless lizardmen busy.

The busiest ones here were not the warriors who were always preparing for battle, nor were they the priests with serious faces, but the hunters with a tired face.

The lizardmen don’t know how to plant, the swamps and forests can’t grow anything, and the livestock they raise is not much, not even enough to feed the raptors, so their main source of food relies on hunting and gathering.

The main source of food is hunting and gathering, which can only satisfy the needs of tribes with small populations, but not the needs of large-scale wars.

Thousands of lizardmen warriors, just the daily consumption of meat can be piled up into a small mountain, a day will be able to dozens of miles around the animal eat up, not to mention as a mount raptors, they are not vegetarian.

Therefore, in order to keep the war going, tens of thousands of lizardmen hunters constantly transported the captured prey here, and even in order to ensure that it would not rot, the lizardmen hunters had to capture the prey alive as much as possible, which increased the difficulty of the hunt, consumed a large amount of manpower and material resources of the voodoo clan, and caused serious internal attrition.

Do not know how to plant means a lack of food reserves, in order to maintain the war, the voodoo clan tribes have drawn a lot of lizardman hunters, resulting in these tribes to get the number of prey greatly reduced, hunger inevitably came, and take away the tribe’s old and weak, so that the tribe fell into a weak.

More fatally, as the war continued, this situation would continue to worsen, and the tribe’s population would show a cliff-like decline.

The test of war is never just purely combat power, population, reserves, and production, these are the key to win or lose the war, obviously the lizard people do not have a mature war mechanism.

The good thing is that most of the lizard people are a virtue, all in self-consumption, this is also the lizard people in this continent exist for so many years, but never encountered a population expansion crisis.

“Not enough, not enough, the Voodoo King needs more sacrifices!” The voodoo clan’s high priest was an old lizardman who had lived for an unknown number of years, his teeth had long since fallen out, and he could only eat boiled down gravy, his waist and back were not straight, and he always raised his head to look at people, even his tight skin that belonged to a cold-blooded animal had become flabby and was full of wrinkles, but his spirit was still very good, and his eyes were still sharp, even if the voodoo clan’s clan chief, a two-meter-tall and strong as a dinosaur-man-like monster, in the eyes of the other party still feel a huge pressure, many times have to compromise.

“The clan has already sent enough warriors and suffered heavy losses, there are already several tribes that had to merge into other tribes because they lost all their adult warriors and hunters, the clan is becoming weak.” The voodoo clan’s patriarch was already very dissatisfied under the other party’s constant pressure, knowing that in order to satisfy the other party’s need for sacrifices, the clan had already lost thousands of adult lizard hunters and more warriors, which meant that many tribes had already completely disappeared.

“This is your problem, the King of Voodoo has already defeated the God of the Mountain Mother Clan, as long as he recovers beforehand through the blood sacrifice, the Voodoo Clan will be able to completely annihilate the Mountain Mother Clan, seize their territories, enslave their population, and allow the Voodoo Clan to become even stronger over the fallen corpses of the Mountain Mother Clan!” The High Priestess said as he stared at the Clan Chief with ice-cold eyes.

“Give me the voodoo zombies, otherwise the clan’s warriors can only use their lives to break the Mountain Mother Clan’s defenses, know that they have no way to retreat, they will only fight to the death, I won’t let the warriors under my command go to die for nothing!” The Clan Chief took out his last bottom line, and that was his purpose, because he knew that the sacrifice to the Voodoo King was not something he could stop at all.

“The voodoo zombies are still being refined, so I can only give you a batch of remnants.” The High Priest didn’t care about those remnants and waved his hand, allowing the priests under him to go and awaken those remnants to bring more and more fresh sacrifices to the Voodoo King. Under the huge totem pole in the camp, there were two huge pools one in front of the other, and the priests of the Voodoo King were busy pouring the boiled voodoo soup into the pools to speed up the growth of the voodoo zombies soaking inside.

But there is always a zombie can not withstand the concentration of increasing voodoo, before the voodoo is about to be dissolved, these unqualified zombies will be the voodoo king of the priests will be fished out and put into the second pool, which is the so-called defective products.

The so-called defective products is unable to continue to withstand voodoo transformation of zombies, in order to avoid waste, the voodoo king of priests in the second pool injected more plague, so that these zombies become a source of contamination of the plague, that is, the swelling of the plague zombies.

It is reasonable to say that plague zombies are the most terrible weapon of mass destruction, the problem is that lizardmen belong to cold-blooded creatures, and are not easily infected with plague, unless it is a specially strengthened voodoo plague, otherwise the ordinary plague is only the equivalent of a bad cold for most lizardmen, weakness is unavoidable, but except for a few old, weak, and sick, basically won’t die because of it, and if there is a divine magic to disperse the plague, the good will be even faster.

However, the high priest did not expect to rely on these plague zombies to achieve ultimate victory, but used this to test the god of the mountain mother clan.

If the Mountain Mother Clan was incapable of dispelling the plague, then it would prove that their god had been severely injured.

The High Priest would then hold a massive blood sacrifice to awaken the King of Voodoo in advance and win this long war once and for all, and to do so, the High Priest would stop at nothing, including taking out the Voodoo Clan Chief, who would always ask a lot of questions, just like his predecessors had done.

No tribe, no clan, was as important as the King of Voodoo, and as soon as the King of Voodoo devoured the God of the Mountain Mother Clan, he, as the one who had contributed the most, would also be rewarded by the King of Voodoo, and would likewise become an ageless and immortal God!
Let’s not talk about whether the Voodoo King could win or not, just whether he would be generous enough to bestow divinity on mortals was something that was unbelievable.

Unfortunately, the high priest, who was already too old, had only this so-called ray of hope in his eyes, and discarded all others, including the voodoo clan.

Owen didn’t know what was going on inside the voodoo clan, because it was full of voodoo and curses, even the rats didn’t dare to go near it easily, but the situation of the mountain mother clan was pretty much touched by him.

Compared to the voodoo clan, which still maintains a fierce attack even though it has suffered a lot of losses, the desperate Shanmu clan has lost confidence even though it is desperately trying to resist, because the gods they believe in have not responded for a long time, even though the Shanmu clan has taken time out of its fierce battle to hold many sacrifices, it still does not see a response, which has led to the panic within the clan, and if not for the fact that there is no way to retreat, it would be afraid of dispersing the group long ago.

But this is definitely good news for Owen, especially after learning the news of the God of the Mountain Mother, it is even more so that he saw the opportunity.
