Chapter 1314: Chapter 443: Centaur Tribe (Part 3)

Quirut issued orders and rose to his feet.

“At your command, Vice Pope.” The other members of the Secret Snake Sect immediately bowed and said.

Just as Quirut decided to head to the location of the signal, he took a step and then stopped.

He suddenly looked toward the dense forest to the left, smiled, and said, “Oh? It seems we have guests.”

Suddenly!

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The next second, dozens of feathered arrows and throwing spears swiftly attacked the members of the Secret Snake Sect who were setting up the ritual but were instantly blocked by a giant thin black shield that suddenly rose.

Although these feathered arrows and short spears are very sharp and thrown with great force, they cannot penetrate the black shield. From this, it can be seen that the attackers are not as skilled as Lambert, who can cleave through the shield with a single sword.

This was when the members of the Secret Snake Sect turned around and began to use their innate wizardry in response, and they clearly saw the attackers — a group of tall centaurs.

These centaurs were over two and a half meters tall, with a strong human torso above and four-hoofed horse body below, primarily brown or gray-haired.

However, the leader was a white centaur over three meters tall, with the face of a middle-aged man, a mustache, tied hair, wielding a throwing spear and shield, appearing exceptionally strong.

It was he who successfully used a throwing spear to kill a member of the Secret Snake Sect earlier.

“Invaders, meet your doom!”

The centaurs who launched the surprise attack saw their ranged attack was ineffective and immediately started shouting while charging fiercely towards the members of the Secret Snake Sect, seemingly intending to engage in close combat.

With four hooves their speed was extremely fast, and when dozens of centaurs charge, it feels as if thousands of cavalry are launching an assault!

The members of the Secret Snake Sect were initially stunned upon seeing the centaurs because such creatures were rarely seen outside; they were considered vassal races of the Elf Clan and only existed in small numbers in Ferdinand Forest.

The unknown represented uncertainty of strength.

Therefore, when the members of the Secret Snake Sect witnessed the charging might of the centaurs, they momentarily showed signs of fear.

“Centaurs? Very well, surely the gifts from the prayer ritual will be greater.” But Vice Pope Quirut smiled upon seeing the scene.

“Epic late stage?” He glanced at the white centaur and smiled even more brightly.

Then his figure flashed, and the next second, he appeared in the center of the battlefield, right in front of the charging centaur.

Facing the unexpected appearance of Quirut, the white centaur leader hesitated for a moment but then immediately his right arm surged to double size, thrusting the spear he held heavily at Quirut!

In the centaur leader’s view, any opponent facing his charging attack had to dodge, which would allow him to break into the enemy camp and rescue the elves.

However, the result was beyond his expectations!

He saw the metal throwing spear he thrust down was caught by Quirut with a “clap,” but that was not all; the next moment, in the centaur leader’s horrified gaze, he found himself lifted up by Quirut’s hand holding the spear with just one hand.

Quirut single-handedly absorbed the impact of the white centaur leader charging at over 200 km/h and weighing over half a ton.

Such strength…

Suddenly, a bad premonition rose in the heart of the centaur leader!

Sure enough, following that, a formidable brilliance of Will radiated in all directions!

Instantly, a dark patterned gigantic python as thick as a barrel appeared on each centaur, simultaneously beginning to coil, roll, and tighten!

Cry upon cry sounded, these strong centaurs all fell to the ground; however, they still fought fiercely against the giant pythons, yet the size of these pythons apparently matched the centaurs’ strength.

The stronger the centaur, the larger the patterned python!

Especially the giant python the white centaur leader fought against, which was as thick as a millstone and over ten meters long.

“This is a Domain! You… you’re an Epic-level!”

At this moment, the white centaur leader fully understood that the unassuming hooded figure in front of him was unexpectedly an Epic-level powerhouse.

“You guessed right, but too late!”

“Crackling!”

As Quirut’s right hand gripped, more than thirty centaurs were suddenly tightened by the forceful giant pythons, with the sound of snapping and breaking bones echoing throughout the scene!

“Vice Pope Quirut’s python domain has become even more powerful.”

“Indeed, this centaur leader looked strong, but unfortunately still couldn’t withstand.”

“The strength of Vice Pope is naturally unquestionable, otherwise when we attacked Elf Town, it wouldn’t have been taken down so easily.”

“…”

Many members of the Secret Snake Sect immediately praised.

“Always heard there’s a centaur tribe in Ferdinand Forest long extinct elsewhere, now we see the living ones.”

“Go, capture these centaurs, prepare them for sacrificial offerings in the upcoming prayer ritual event.” In good spirits, Quirut pointed to the centaurs lying on the ground, instructing.

“At your command, Vice Pope.”

The members of the Secret Snake Sect were also visibly pleased, bowing and answering.

Although the greatest beneficiaries of the prayer ritual are those strong and high-ranking sect leaders, the upper tier eats meat, and the lower tiers can also drink some broth, which means those who also participate in the prayer can achieve considerable strength enhancement.

Certainly, the extent to which their talent improves cannot compare to the sect leaders.

But at least there is improvement, isn’t it!

This is why they are more inclined to hold prayer rituals compared to practicing on their own because as long as the sacrificial offerings are high-quality, the power boost is remarkably fast!

So originally, most members of the Secret Snake Sect saw the various formidable creatures frequently appearing in Ferdinand Forest as troublesome obstacles to their actions; now it’s clear they are not.

These are resources for their strength improvement!

…

Meanwhile.

In the sky dozens of kilometers away from Signal Station No.7, a sleek, elongated airship resembling a jujube pit suddenly flew in, instantly catching the attention of the logistical team Rein had left at the station.

“Lady Beyonce, come and see, this airship seems unusual!” exclaimed a logistics member responsible for lookout observations on the airship.

In the station, Colonel Ian similarly received reports from his subordinates immediately, informing him of an unidentified airship’s appearance.

Everyone’s attention instantly concentrated on the airship.

Now, the extremely streamlined airship gradually began to decelerate and slowly halted several kilometers away in the air.
