(Bow and thank "Yu Zhen Golden Sound" for the big monthly ticket. I will continue to work hard.)

As soon as this voice appeared, the tense atmosphere immediately eased. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and then turned their attention to the speaker - a cold-faced woman sitting in a central row of blue bone chairs on the left, wearing a hot outfit.
The person speaking was a witch who was no more than thirty years old. She had a beautiful face, a slender figure, and was wearing a short leather armor made of unknown dark blue animal skin on her body, revealing two long, toned legs and well-proportioned bones. Her arms are as white as frost and snow, and she is wild and wild; the tight-fitting leather armor wrapped in a bumpy and blood-spraying figure forms a strong contrast with her indifferent expression, which is very tempting. .
However, the most noticeable thing is not her beauty, but her cultivation. She is obviously sitting on the bone chair, but the aura around her seems to be alive, constantly moving and tumbling regularly, giving people a sense of "jumping". It's as if she's dancing; in this special state, the woman's breath blends with the heaven and earth, making it completely incomprehensible, as if she's extremely weak. But it seems to be powerful enough to compete with Xing Tianlu, the leader of the black witch.
"Master, since you entered the 'Witch God Cave' for retreat that day, the elders of our twelve tribes have never forgotten to protect the Holy Land. After all, the elders of the Heavenly Witch Tribe used sacred objects to spy on the future disasters that will be suffered by the Holy Land, so we, the Twelve, The elders were divided into four groups, with three people in each group guarding the four walls. They did not dare to relax for a moment." The woman's words were cold but her words were reasonable, making people unconsciously feel convinced. As she explained, the other eleven wizards nodded to show that they were indeed trying their best. And because he had predicted in advance that Black Witch City would be attacked but still failed to take good care of the sacred objects, Nacihe, the chief elder of the Tianwu tribe who was under the greatest pressure and most directly oppressed by Xing Tianlu's momentum, secretly wiped his sweat and looked at it gratefully. Hua Ying glanced at him.
"Hua Ying, as the chief elder of the War Witch Tribe, you must be responsible when you speak. It's true. As you said, the 'Black Witch City' is impregnable, so how could someone break into the temple and steal the sacred objects? "Maybe because he had concerns about Hua Ying's identity and strength, Xing Tianlu had to suppress his anger and pretend to be pleasant when he faced her and asked her.
................................................................. .............................
The Black Witch Cult is a giant force that has informed the entire Black Earth Continent and has inherited the essence of the ancient Witch Cult. Therefore, the organization is not only huge, but also has a clear internal division of labor. In addition to integrating the essence of the ancient Witch Cult, Wu Chaos has formed a new Black Witch Cult through countless years of summary, induction and innovation.
At the highest level, the Black Witch Cult has the highest leadership and can represent the Black Witch Cult; but under the Black Witch Cult, it is divided into twelve major tribes, namely the Tribe of Gold, the Tribe of Wood, the Tribe of Water, the Tribe of Fire, the Tribe of Earth, There are nine attribute tribes: Yinming Tribe, Yanghuang Tribe, Blood Witch Tribe, Fierce Poison Tribe, and three matching tribes: War Witch, Sky Witch, and Craftsman Witch.
However, because there are too few wizards with the blood of the Ancient Witch Clan, most tribes are composed of descendants of some ancient wizards. Although these people do not have the powerful bloodline magical power of the ancient witch clan, they have inherited the excellent bloodline of their ancestors and their talents in practicing witchcraft are still higher than others. So in name they are nine attribute tribes, but in reality they are just tribes that practice different attribute witchcraft.
The nine major attribute tribes are the main body of the Black Witch Cult. They each have their own fiefdoms and occupy most of the Black Earth Continent. They send a wave of powerful wizards into each native tribe to control the power and belief of the tribe. Suitable talents are selected every ten years. Enter the tribal sanctuary and join the Black Witch Cult. Maintain the everlasting prosperity of the Black Witch Cult.
On weekdays, these attribute tribes all work in their respective fiefdoms. Once there is an important event, such as the arrival of a natural disaster or the invasion of a powerful enemy, they will send out elite cultists and warriors to be led by the Black Witch City where the leader of the Black Witch is located. Once the war is over, The respective believers and warriors will return to their respective tribes.
Strictly speaking, the system of the Black Witch Cult is not strict. The holy land of Black Witch City, as the headquarters of the Black Witch Cult, is like a king. The nine tribes with attributes are like the feudal officials. They have the military and political power of the fiefdom. They are powerful, to put it harshly, they are just like princes; if not It is entirely possible for the local emperor who is willing to be inferior to others to unite to evade Black Witch City and become the de facto emperor.
But the reality is that not only did the nine major attribute tribes not cede territory to stand on their own, but they were respectful to the Black Witch City. Even the contemporary chief elders of their respective tribes had to come to the Black Witch City for five years every ten years to participate in witchcraft exchanges and discuss the Black Witch Religion. The big thing is actually being a hostage. Although the Black Witch Cult is made up of the human race, it has also inherited the tradition of the Ancient Witch Clan of being extremely powerful and respecting the strong. To become the chief elder of a tribe, one must be the strongest person in the tribe. And this is also true. Each of the twelve chief elders has a strength that is between the returning stage and the immortal stage. Even the top sects in Middle-earth China are enough to hold the position of head coach.
Even such a strong man obediently went to Black Witch City as a hostage. The reason is not only because Black Witch City has great righteousness and the orthodox status of the Witch Religion, but more importantly, because the strength of Black Witch City is enough to overwhelm all resistance and dissatisfaction. The heart of a minister! Among them, the existence of the three tribes directly affiliated with Black Witch City: War Witch, Sky Witch, and Craftsman Witch played a huge role.
As the name of the Craftsman Witch Tribe suggests, the tribesmen in the tribe are naturally ingenious and good at making various tools and are natural craftsmen; among them, the master wizard craftsmen are able to create good witchcraft tools for use by wizards of all races. In the witch religion that advocates strength, it is self-evident how important weapons are to a force. Whether it is the mortal weapons used by ordinary warriors or the witchcraft used by wizards, they are an important part of the tribe's strength.
Due to their talent, the weapons and witchcraft created by the Witchcraft Tribe are often one or two levels better than those of other tribes. This has led to the Witchcraft Tribe becoming the arms dealer of the Black Witch Cult. From wizards to ordinary warriors, they are all proud to own an exquisite weapon made by the wizard tribe. The Craftsman Witch tribe relied on its own advantages to monopolize the manufacturing market of the entire Black Earth Continent. Part of the huge profits earned was used for its own accumulation and sophisticated equipment to arm itself, and the other part was paid to the Black Witch City as taxes.
Because the practice of witchcraft is different from that of a cultivator, a wizard can control many witchcraft weapons and can exert their full power as long as they are strong enough. However, due to the lack of soul sacrifice, once they are taken away, they can easily be used by others; they are not like cultivators. There are only one or two Yuan Shen magic weapons in life, but they are used to sacrifice the Yuan Shen to others. Even if they are taken away and blocked by the Yuan Shen mark, they cannot be used immediately. Even if the Yuan Shen mark is erased and refined, the magic weapon cannot be used. All the power. Therefore, the demand for magic weapons by wizards is very large, and it is common for wizards to be wary and compete with each other. This also causes the magic weapons to wear out quickly, so any powerful tribe cannot do without craftsmen and wizards with strong manufacturing capabilities. support.
Since the weapons and equipment of the Craftsman Tribe have monopolized the entire market, the manufacturing industries of other tribes have been greatly sluggish. If they could not occupy a small market with the unique weapons and equipment of their respective tribes and have strong support from the top leaders of their respective tribes, they would have withered long ago. Over time, the weapon systems of various tribes had to be controlled by outsiders, which deepened the influence of the Craftsman Tribe on various tribes. To put it bluntly, the Craftsman Witch Tribe monopolizes the entire weapons and equipment market. If they block the supply of weapons and equipment, the strength of other tribes will immediately drop by 30%, causing chaos. Therefore, other tribes have to respect the Craftsman Witch Tribe.
It is not that other tribes have not thought of this, but the reality is really frustrating. The people of the major tribes may be warlike and tough, but after many years of tradition, they have long been not interested in other skills other than martial arts and witchcraft. Except for the craftsman tribe, In addition to the talents inherited from the bloodline of the tribesmen, even the strong support of the top leaders of their respective tribes cannot make their tribe's overall manufacturing level reach the standards of the Craftsman Tribe. Even if the weapons and equipment produced were several grades inferior to those of the Craftsman Witch Tribe, they would not be able to attract customers at all. At most, it is just self-produced and sold, but it cannot avoid financial losses.
But if you only use the tribe's strength for your own tribe, it will undoubtedly be inferior to other tribes equipped with the magic weapons of the Craftsman Tribe, which is something the tribe's senior leaders cannot tolerate. On the one hand, a large amount of resources are invested in the bottomless pit of equipment manufacturing but there is no hope of success; on the other hand, although the same approach as other tribes is adopted, although they cannot get rid of their dependence on the Craftsman Tribe, they will not fall behind; the two phases The higher-ups of the major tribes could only hold their noses and admit it.
The Tianwu tribe has inherited the most mysterious and mysterious Tianwu among ancient witchcraft, and is proficient in sacrifice, prediction, divination, deduction and other skills. Sacrifice can obtain future changes in the world or be granted powerful power, magical items and other benefits by sacrificing various items to gods, demons or other powerful beings in different dimensions; prediction and divination wizards can consume themselves Shouyuan's method gives a glimpse into the rules of heaven and earth and the long river of destiny to predict the future and guide the development of the tribe; it is deduced that practicing heavenly witchcraft can enhance intelligence. The higher the cultivation level, the more developed the intelligence, and can solve various problems for the tribe with its own wisdom;
The powerful high priest in the Tianwu tribe can even predict the blessings and misfortunes of the tribe at a certain time in the future through the power of witchcraft and respond accordingly. The chief elder of the Tianwu tribe once used the "Crystal Skull", the sacred object of the Witch clan, in Black Witch City to accurately predict that Black Witch City would be attacked by the enemy in the future. Unfortunately, this result could not be avoided due to various reasons. But its powerful ability also shows that ordinary people and cultivators have different methods of deducing the future.
Therefore, the wizards of the Tianwu tribe are also very popular in other tribes, and most of them have become wise men of various tribes and enjoy a high status.
Among the forces of a witch clan system such as the Black Witch Cult, there are very few outliers like the Craftsman Witch Tribe and the Sky Witch Tribe whose intelligence outweighs their force. It is precisely because of this that they can show their preciousness. However, intelligence and strength have always been inseparable. If you have intelligence but do not have the corresponding force to protect it, you will inevitably be bullied. Only the combination of intelligence and strength can exert the greatest effect. As the three pillars supporting Black Witch City, they would naturally not make this mistake. The war witch tribe is the owner of the supreme force.
The War Witch Tribe has inherited the most sophisticated and advanced martial arts and witchcraft among the ancient witch religions. There are even legends that the war witch tribe even possesses the witchcraft and combat skills of the ancient witch clan! In the War Witch Tribe, every newborn will be soaked in the blood of beasts when they are born, and secret techniques are used to allow the baby to absorb the beast's spirit and the remaining wild power in the blood to stimulate fighting talents; therefore, every child in the War Witch Tribe is soaked in the blood of beasts. Both men and women are born warriors. Ordinary warriors in the War Witch Tribe are usually as powerful as centenarians from other tribes; those babies whose witchcraft talents have been identified by specialized wizards since birth will be treated with the blood of powerful creatures such as monsters and monsters. The witchcraft talent unlocked by the spirits makes them inherently higher than the wizards of other tribes.
In addition, the War Witch Tribe has been on good terms with Black Witch City, the Craftsman Witch Tribe, and the Sky Witch Tribe for generations. The other three tribes also know that they need the War Witch Tribe’s force to deter other ambitious tribes, so they have always spared no effort in supporting the War Witch Tribe. . Members of the War Witch Tribe have been in constant battles since they were eight years old. The adults of the tribe will arrange strict training for them, so that they can be herded like wild beasts in a land full of ferocious beasts and harsh environment; they will withstand the most arduous training. Faced with the threat of death at all times, they continue to fight and kill for survival until they reach adulthood at the age of fifteen and undergo a rigorous adult test before they are recognized as qualified warriors of the War Witch Tribe; according to incomplete statistics Of the hundreds of thousands of babies born in the War Witch Tribe every year, less than one-third survive to the end and become qualified warriors! In such a cold-blooded policy, it is natural that everyone is forced to reach their maximum potential and become a powerful warrior.
Compared with warriors who cannot practice witchcraft, tribesmen with witchcraft talents are naturally much more valuable, so they cannot bear such losses. For these tribesmen with witchcraft talents, the Zhanwu Tribe also has a strict training system. Compared with other tribes who are treated as treasures and receive formal training once they are identified as witchcraft tribes, the training system of the Zhanwu Tribe is even stricter. , Ten times crueler! Of course it is more effective.
The elite warriors and wizards of the War Witch Tribe are also the main members of the Black Witch Cult Skitarii - the "Black Witch Chapter". They are responsible for patrolling the Black Earth Continent to regularly remove and weaken those monsters that threaten too much. The seals in monster gathering areas are unstable. The supreme force of the Black Witch Religion is the supreme force of the Black Witch Religion, and it is also the sharp sword in the hands of the leader of the Black Witch Religion.
Such a powerful warrior will naturally be favored by other tribes. Therefore, there are countless people from the War Witch Tribe who have come out of the War Witch Tribe and served as senior leaders of other tribes and even the Black Witch City’s army. Even the leader of the Black Witch Tribe of this generation, Xing Tianlu, is from a large family of the War Witch Tribe— This is also the reason why the leader of the Xingtian Family looks at Hua Ying, the chief elder of the War Witch Tribe, in a different light. Of course, the reason why the warriors of the War Witch Tribe are so popular is not only because of their strong strength, but also related to their excellent qualities of strictly keeping their promises, strict discipline, and never betraying their master once they recognize their master. This tradition has lasted for tens of thousands of years. One of the most precious assets is that each tribe does not have to worry about being subverted by promoting warriors from the War Witch Tribe.
The tribes of the three major tribes, the Craftsman Witch Tribe, the Sky Witch Tribe, and the War Witch Tribe, are all arranged in a formal arrangement near the Black Witch City, and the territory of the Black Witch City itself is almost spread across the entire Zahara Desert. The three complement each other and have been friends for generations. At the same time, they recognize the orthodox status of Black Witch City and are willing to be led by it. Black Witch City has also given them great support. Skill, wisdom, and strength formed an indestructible iron triangle. The commander of Jiahei Witch City twisted them into a rope. In the face of such a powerful and almost irresistible strength, the surrender of the nine attribute tribes was considered self-aware.
................................................................. .............................
"What happened to the leader that day happened for a reason and it was not the elders' negligence in their duties." Hua Ying said crisply without changing his face.
"Oh? The Black Witch City itself has a powerful force of 10,000 senior warriors, 10,000 earth witch level wizards (equivalent to the late stage of divine transformation), and 1,000 of you twelve chief elders of the late stage of divine witch guarding them. If someone hadn't neglected their duties, how could they have been killed? People broke into the temple and took away the sacred objects? Could it be that all the enemies who came were angel-level enemies?" Xing Tianlu asked in a deep voice as the anger flashed away in his eyes.
"Although the visitors are not immortals, they are more terrifying than immortals. They are human demons!" Hua Ying said without fear of withstanding the pressure.
