“How about it? Do you believe me now?” Terrida looked at Mu Ya, his ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) gaze sweeping over the new barbarians behind him.Looking out, there were hundreds of unfamiliar faces, several times the number of their first batch of barbarians.His heart couldn't help but burn. If he could persuade all these compatriots, the strength of the Barbarian Battle Group would directly increase several fold. In the future, when they fought their way back to their homeland and drove out the invaders, they would have more genuine confidence.Mu Ya’s eyes fluctuated violently, his fingertips gripping the handle of his stone axe tightly. His resistance to humans was etched into his bones, but his desire to "become stronger" was ignited by the towering pillar of vital energy he had just witnessed.The blood feud of his tribesmen weighed heavily on his heart. He knew better than anyone that without strength, all talk of revenge was empty. A chance to make his entire tribe stronger lay before him, and he truly couldn't bring himself to push it away.“If we work for that human, will he really free us and let us return to our homeland?” Mu Ya’s voice held a trace of imperceptible tremor; this was his last concern.“Of course! I swear on the barbarian bloodline!” Terrida’s tone was decisive, full of trust in Qin Tian.During this time following the boss, he understood clearly: if the boss wanted to deceive them, why would he invest so many resources in them?Wouldn't it be simpler to just treat us as cannon fodder?Mu Ya was silent for a moment, then pressed on, “What about the other tribesmen? Will the elders and children who aren’t good at fighting also be treated well?”“Just look at the tribesmen behind me!” Terrida stepped aside, revealing the old, weak, women, and children who were gathered around talking to their tribesmen. They wore clean, thick cotton robes, their faces showing stable smiles, completely free of the fear they once held in the slave camp.“They are all women, elders, and children, but the boss gives them beautiful clothes, warm houses, and endless meat and grains every day. The boss never mistreats anyone because they are weak. Your tribesmen will be treated the same when they come.”At this point, Terrida suddenly raised his voice and shouted to the barbarian warriors behind him, “Brothers, show off our gear, let the Han Dong Tribe brothers see!”“Alright!”The barbarian warriors responded in unison, each opening their personal black iron chests. In an instant, the cold, hard metallic gleam made it hard to open one’s eyes: black heavy armor etched with demonic patterns shimmered with a biting light under the sun; alloy shields embedded with red energy-buffering crystals in their centers; and gleaming great axes, spears, and broadswords, each weapon's edge carrying the chill of having slain living beings.All this equipment was custom-made by Qin Tian at a high price, and later, on the Demon Suppression Abyss, Tiemu Star, and the return journey, it was regularly nurtured with the power of the Divine Weapon Emperor.Although they couldn't compare to top-tier divine weapons like Hidden Kill or black frost, in the eyes of the barbarians, these were treasures only fit for the chiefs of large tribes.As soon as the weapons were displayed, a strong aura of bloodlust rushed forth—the scent of countless slain beings and real combat experience.The new barbarians’ eyes instantly widened, their breathing quickened, and their gazes were filled with shock and an undeniable fervor. Such powerful equipment, and each person had several pieces?This human was too generous!“How about it, our weapons aren’t bad, are they?” Terrida’s voice held a hint of bragging, and even more, seduction, “As long as you join, each of you will get the exact same equipment!”This sentence completely broke down Mu Ya’s last line of defense.He gritted his teeth, as if having made some decision, and looked up at Terrida: “I want to see how powerful that potion you mentioned, the one that can enhance strength, truly is. If it can really make me stronger, I will lead the people of the Han Dong Tribe to work with that human!”If it weren't for the firsthand accounts of Terrida’s group of “their own people,” even if the human offered heavenly conditions, he would never compromise. But the vital energy on Terrida and his companions, the peace on their faces, and the shocking equipment they just displayed, made it impossible for him to remain stubborn.These people now seemed not to be abused, nor did they lack food and drink, but in essence, they were still “imprisoned,” without freedom, and even more, without a future.For revenge, for his tribesmen to truly stand up, he could only take a gamble and trust these fellow tribesmen before him.Seeing this, Terrida immediately turned to look at Feng Mocheng—he knew that such precious potions were only kept by Feng Mocheng, who was in charge of logistics.Feng Mocheng smiled as he walked out of his private aircraft, holding a crystal potion bottle: “I expected this, I’m all prepared.”Inside the bottle, the fiery red potion resembled solidified magma, glowing with a scorching light under the sun, as if one could feel the violent energy contained within.Terrida took the potion and handed it to Mu Ya, his tone becoming serious: “This is it. After taking it, your body will be greatly strengthened; your vital energy and strength will surge. But I must make it clear to you, when taking the medicine, you will endure unimaginable pain—the stronger you are, the more intense the pain. If you can't endure it, you will die.”Mu Ya took the potion bottle, his fingertips feeling the faint warmth emanating from the bottle. He looked up and asked, “When you first took the medicine, did anyone not make it?”Terrida shook his head, his face full of pride: “None of our first batch of brothers were cowards; they all made it through!”“Then our Han Dong Tribe warriors will certainly not be inferior!” Mu Ya clenched the potion bottle, his voice filled with a desperate resolve, his eyes gleaming with a desire to become stronger—he wanted to lead his tribesmen to rise again, using this power.Bang! The stopper was violently pulled open by Mu Ya, and the hot, fragrant scent of the potion instantly diffused.Without a moment's hesitation, he tilted his head back and guzzled down the fiery red potion in the bottle. As the pungent liquid slid down his throat, it felt like swallowing a lump of scalding magma, burning its way down his esophagus, as if even his internal organs were set ablaze.“Ah!”In less than three seconds, intense pain erupted.Mu Ya suddenly fell to his knees, pressing his hands tightly to his chest, his knuckles white from the effort.The potion raged wildly within him, as if countless fine knives were tearing at his tendons and bones, crushing his flesh, and even his bone marrow felt as if it were boiling. He trembled uncontrollably, each tremor pulling at excruciating pain. Veins on his forehead bulged, like twisting green snakes crawling across his face, and even the blood vessels in his neck pulsed violently, as if they would burst through his skin in the next second.Sweat beads as large as beans rolled down his cheeks, hitting the ground and spreading into small damp patches. In just a moment, his entire body was drenched in sweat, his consciousness gradually blurring in the intense pain. Images of his tribesmen’s brutal deaths began to flash before his eyes—burning villages, the cries of loved ones, the sneers of invaders—these images pierced his mind like needles, abruptly solidifying his nearly shattered will.“Cannot… cannot die—”Mu Ya bit through his teeth, the taste of blood filling his mouth. He roared with all his might, his voice hoarse like a broken gong: “I want to become stronger! I want to kill those invaders! I want to take my tribesmen home—”This hatred and obsession became his only support against the pain.He bit his lip tightly, allowing the intense pain to tear at him repeatedly. The surrounding barbarian warriors held their breath, their eyes fixed on Mu Ya, with worry, tension, and an undeniable anticipation.After an unknown amount of time, just as Mu Ya was almost consumed by the pain, the raging potion within him finally began to settle.The searing pain slowly receded, replaced by an indescribable warmth that spread through his limbs and bones.“Hmm—”Mu Ya let out a low groan, slowly raising his head. The pain in his eyes had long faded, replaced by clarity and shock. He could clearly feel a vast power awakening within him. With every breath, he could mobilize more vital energy, and the explosive power contained in his muscles was at least several times stronger than before!He suddenly stood up, subconsciously activating the vital energy within him—Boom!A thick pillar of vital energy shot into the sky, carrying a violent aura that made the surrounding air vibrate and even caused distant trees to lean under its pressure.“This—this is—”The new barbarians’ eyes widened, their breathing instantly quickened, and their gazes were filled with an incredible longing. They had witnessed the agonizing pain just now, but the power erupting from Mu Ya’s body at this moment made them itch with desire.Mu Ya clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within him, and a look of ecstatic relief appeared on his face. He turned to Terrida, took a deep breath, and said with a firm tone:“You didn't lie to me. I—I'll join.”
