Chapter 742: Objectives of Various Tribes |

In the midst of the island assault, the savage tribe faced numerous exploding fireballs, deploying their own defensive treasures in an attempt to fend off the onslaught.
However, it seemed that these fireballs ignited into roaring flames upon contact with any object.
Countless flame arrows shot forth, forming a Sea of Fire above the savage tribe, swiftly engulfing the entire savage tribe army.
Tens of thousands of soldiers from the savage tribe vanguard, now found themselves immersed in the Sea of Fire, desperately trying to extinguish the flames engulfing their bodies.
The earth-shattering cries of tens of thousands echoed, shaking the heavens. Even the savage tribe army yet to land in the rear, upon witnessing this horrific scene, were terror-stricken to the core.
Several fifth-tier savage tribe members, burning with rage and yet helpless, faced such a bizarre inferno without any recourse.
All they could do now was watch helplessly as tens of thousands of savage tribe soldiers struggled and screamed within the flames.
Meanwhile, on the side of the human-demon alliance, witnessing such a shocking scene, all felt a chill in their hearts, silently grateful that they hadn't antagonized the Great Chu Immortal Nation too severely in the past.
Others on the island, both human and demon, had complex thoughts. Some pondered privately what they would do if faced with such a situation, pondering for a long time but unable to come up with an effective strategy.
Some wondered if they could purchase such weapons from the Great Chu Immortal Nation.
If they could buy dozens or even hundreds of giant crossbows, coupled with such powerful flame arrows, and set them up at their own mountain gates, who would dare to trespass in the future?
Under the scorching of this Sea of Fire, the temperature of the entire Flying Fish Island rose significantly, with the seawater near the coast boiling.
Finally, the cries grew quieter, and the struggling of the savage tribe gradually ceased.
Of the tens of thousands of savage tribe soldiers who landed this time, only fifth-tier and some fourth-tier members managed to escape, while the rest were all consumed by the flames.
At this moment, tens of thousands of savage tribe members had turned into charred remains within the Sea of Fire, emitting the last light and heat of their lives.
Wang Hong, seeing that the fire was almost extinguished, immediately took out a Fiery Red gourd-shaped magic weapon and offered it above the Sea of Fire.
This gourd-shaped magic weapon was refined by him using a Yellow Gourd from his Space, which had been growing for tens of thousands of years and had yielded several gourds and their essence.
Considering that every time he used the Golden Crow Fire, the spoils of war were also burnt to ashes, he tried several materials before using this gourd to refine this magic weapon, specifically for containing the unburnt Golden Crow Fire.
At this moment, the fiery red gourd flew to the sky above the Sea of Fire, generating a powerful suction force from within, and then the flames were seen being sucked into the gourd.
Soon, the flames dissipated, revealing a ground covered in corpses.
"Hu Jian, take a group of people to collect the spoils of war, speed is of the essence."
Upon receiving the order, Hu Jian led hundreds of people and rushed towards the battlefield.
They collected the spoils of war at a rapid pace, indiscriminately gathering all the bodies and dropped weapons into their storage bags.
Some savage tribe members' personal storage magic weapons were also picked up and hung on their bodies.
These things would be sorted out later, after the battle was over, and then carefully sifted through.
In the distant savage tribe army, a man standing at five zhang tall witnessed this scene, his eyes filled with fury.
"Bo! Why not let me lead a force to take advantage of this opportunity and launch a sneak attack to avenge our kin?"
This man, known as Bo, had a stern expression, with a long scar on his face, adding a touch of resoluteness to his appearance.
"Jian! If we cannot find a strategy to deal with this, sending more people now will only result in more needless deaths. Regarding the vendetta of our kin's tragic deaths, it will naturally be avenged in the future. Moreover, ever since we chose to come to this realm in search of the lost item, we have already put life and death aside. Even if we die in battle, we cannot blame too much."
Jian, the savage tribe member, eased his expression slightly at Bo's words. "Bo, what does the item we seek look like exactly?"
Bo shook his head. "I do not know what it looks like, but once we find it, we will naturally know."
"If we don't even know what the item looks like, how can we find it? Furthermore, even if it's not in this realm, searching it endlessly here would be futile."
This Jian seemed somewhat dissatisfied, especially since they had just entered this realm and hadn't gained any benefits yet, only encountering several major battles and suffering losses.
"Since it was the result of a great witch sacrificing her life to divine, it must be accurate. Moreover, look at the Demon Clan and the Abyss Clan, all pouring into this realm. Do you think they would be so kind as to come here to fight and kill for the sake of a small realm's inhabitants?"
"Are you saying their purpose here is the same as ours?"
"Most likely, but you and I are just pawns in the game. We don't need to worry about these matters. What's paramount now is how to deal with this kind of fire."
The two strong members of the savage tribe continued to discuss for a long time, yet still found no suitable solution.
Meanwhile, a team from the human-demon alliance was currently surrounding a vital stronghold of the savage tribe.
Taking advantage of the fact that most of the savage tribe's forces were off attacking Flying Fish Island, they planned to carry out a surprise attack on this stronghold.
Led by Wang Yi, a team dressed in white robes marched forward, with Wu Tingchang leading the disciples of the Qingxu Sect beside him.
Even the Great Chu Immortal Nation had dispatched troops to join the battle. Their Qingxu Sect and Taihao Sect were weaker in strength and had no room for negotiation; they had to send a team to participate in the battle.
"Wang brother, is this your first time being cannon fodder?" Due to Wang Hong's relationship, Wu Tingchang was familiar with Wang Yi.
Wang Yi nodded, his expression still serious, his gaze sharp as a sword, fixed on the city wall ahead.
"Wang brother, there's no need to be so nervous. I have plenty of experience with being cannon fodder. Let's see how we fare later."
Although this attack on the savage tribe stronghold was opportunistic, they still needed some teams to pave the way ahead.
As a faction with little strength and no say in matters, they naturally became the best candidates.
This time, the human-demon alliance planned to capture a stronghold, also to avenge the previous ambush of the Flying Fish Island cultivators.
While the human-demon alliance fought desperately in the Desolate Spirit Sea, their backyard, the Fireflame Continent where Wang Hong had once visited, was experiencing a different scene.
At that time, the entire Fireflame Continent was mobilized to collectively resist the Demon Race, with reinforcements from some surrounding continents also sent to assist the Fireflame Continent.
Now, however, the Human Clan on the Fireflame Continent was retreating step by step.
There was no other reason than the fact that since the void passageway in that area opened, countless powerful members of the Demon Race and Abyss Clan had poured out, a force that this single continent could not contend with.
Now, the Human Clan on the Fireflame Continent only had one stronghold left, and at this moment, the Demon Race and Abyss Clan had already pushed to the front of this last stronghold.
