Zhao Hai stared at the Blood Hawk in the sky. The Blood Hawk was constantly hovering in the air. Laura and the others were also looking at the Blood Hawk. They really wanted to know what kind of information the Blood Hawk would bring back.
Zhao Hai already understood that the Blood Hawk's aerial reconnaissance ability was very strong. Because of their good eyesight, and because they understood Zhao Hai's intentions, they were the best aerial scouts.
The information the Blood Hawk brought back was very important to Zhao Hai. This was because the information the Blood Hawk brought back was that two beastmen tribes were fighting. One side was the Tauren tribe, while the other side was the Jackal tribe.
Zhao Hai frowned. He didn't know if he should take action in this situation. If a human were to recklessly intervene in a battle between two beastmen tribes, it wouldn't be good.
Laura and the others also understood the information sent by the Blood Hawks. Regarding this situation, Laura was also in a difficult position. The Beastmen viewed fighting as an honor. If they interfered, then they might offend both sides of the battle. Even if they helped, then they wouldn't be grateful.
After thinking for a while, Laura turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, what do you think we should do?"
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, "Let's go and take a look. Just pretend to be passing by and don't attack first." Laura nodded. Zhao Hai immediately directed the carriage towards the direction of the battlefield.
The battlefield wasn't close to their current location. Otherwise, the Blood Hawk wouldn't have taken a whole morning to send back information. In order to reach the battlefield as soon as possible, Zhao Hai took all of the carriages back to the Space. He only drove Laura's carriage forward. This way, their speed would be much faster.
After more than two hours of rushing, they finally arrived at the direction of the battlefield that the Blood Hawk had seen. In front of them, bursts of battle cries could be clearly heard.
Zhao Hai didn't think that the battle between the two tribes would last so long. It was already noon, and when the Blood Hawk found them, the two sides were already fighting. In other words, from the time the Blood Hawk found them until now, the Tauren and Jackal tribe had been fighting for at least three hours. This time wasn't short.
Zhao Hai slowed down and took out the grain cart again. Then he slowly walked towards the battlefield. Since he knew that both sides were still fighting, he wasn't in a hurry.
Soon, Zhao Hai and the others approached the battlefield. From afar, they could see that it was a camp. The scale of the camp wasn't very big, about the same size as the Sheep Head Hammer tribe. In the middle of the camp was a large tent with a bull's head flag. Laura looked at the bull's head flag and her expression changed, "Bull's Head Flag, how could it be the Bull's Head Flag?"
Zhao Hai stared blankly and said in surprise, "The Ox-Head King's Flag? You mean that's the Ox-Head King's Flag? " The reason why Zhao Hai was so surprised was because the Ox-Head King's Flag wasn't something that just anyone could use. It could only be used by the Herculean Bull tribe, the Royal Clan of the Cow-headed race.
Although there were so many races in the Beastman Prairie that even the beastmen themselves didn't know how many there were, the first big race had a Royal Clan. For example, the Cow-headed race. Although there were many races, such as the barbarian race, the rhinoceros race, and so on, these races all belonged to one big race, the Cow-headed race.
The Royal Clan of the Cow-headed race was the Herculean Bull tribe. The men of the Herculean Bull tribe were born warriors. They didn't have any hair on their bodies, and their skin was golden yellow. This golden yellow skin had a very strong defensive ability. Moreover, they were blessed with innate divine strength. It can be said that their fighting strength wasn't any worse than the most famous War Tribes of the beastmen.
If it weren't for the fact that the fighting strength of the Cow-headed race wasn't high, then the Cow-headed race could also be considered as a War Tribe. In the Prairie, to determine whether a race was a War Tribe or not, it wasn't based on the fighting strength of one or two branches of the race, but rather the fighting strength of the entire race. Many of the branches of the Cow-headed race had very low fighting strength, dragging down the entire race. In the end, they could only be considered a race, not a War Tribe.
However, whether it was a race or a War Tribe, they were also divided into three, six, and nine ranks. For example, the Lion Tribe and the Tiger Tribe were at the top of the War Tribes because of their formidable fighting strength. The position of the Cow-headed race was similar to that of the Lion Tribe and the Tiger Tribe. They were also at the top of the War Tribes. Even some of the lower War Tribes wouldn't dare be rude to the Cow-headed race, especially the Herculean Bulls.
The fighting strength of the Herculean Bulls was very formidable. They had infinite strength, and their defensive strength was also very strong. Moreover, their Beast Soul Possession was also very strong. This made other races not dare to underestimate them, let alone provoke them.
Beastmen and Humans were different. Humans cultivated Battle Qi or Magic, while beastmen cultivated Beast Soul Skills. The so-called Beast Soul Skill was actually a unique cultivation method of the beastmen. Every beastman youth, when they were ten years old, would hunt a magic beast by themselves. Then they would use a secret method of the beastmen to absorb the magic beast's soul into their body. Every time they fought, the magic beast's soul would be able to help the beastman in battle.
However, this Beast Soul Skill also had a restriction. This restriction was the bloodline restriction. The bloodline restriction referred to the difference between races.
For example, the slaves of the beastmen could also cultivate Beast Soul Skills. However, they couldn't attract a powerful beast's soul. If they forcibly absorbed it, then they would be devoured by the beast's soul. If it was light, then the beast's soul would leave their body, causing damage to their body. If it was heavy, then they would be controlled by the beast's soul and become a complete beast.
The strength of the magic beasts attracted by a beastman determined their fighting strength. Similarly, whether a magic beast was wild or not also determined the strength of the magic beast.
For example, a domesticated 5th rank magic beast would never be able to defeat a wild 5th rank magic beast. Wild 5th rank magic beasts, from the moment they were born, were constantly fighting. Fighting beasts, fighting humans, and fighting nature. Their fighting skills were much stronger compared to domesticated 5th rank magic beasts.
After a beastman absorbed a magic beast's soul, they would also gain a part of the magic beast's fighting experience. This was very important for a beastman.
Some of the weaker beastmen simply didn't have the ability to hunt magic beasts themselves. Therefore, they could only use domesticated magic beasts to make up the numbers. This way, their fighting strength would naturally be weaker.
The biggest difference between the War Race and other races was that the War Race's beast souls were carnivores, which were predators. On the other hand, most of the other races' beast souls were herbivores, which were the prey of prey.
Absorbing a beast soul wasn't something that could be done casually. For example, if you were an Ox Tribesman and wanted to absorb a lion-type magic beast's beast soul, then the success rate would be very low. Even if you were to succeed, it wouldn't increase your strength too much. On the contrary, because the beast soul's compatibility wasn't high enough, there would be some negative effects.
The Ox Tribesmen's beast souls would be best if they were bull type magic beasts. If there weren't any bull type magic beasts, then it would be best to attract the beast souls of herbivores instead of carnivores. This was the experience that the beastmen had gathered after many years of exploration.
As for the Herculean Bull Tribe, their beast souls could be said to be unified. It was a type of 6th rank earth element magic beast, the Stoneskin Bull.
This Stoneskin Bull's name made it clear that it was a magic beast with a very strong defense. Moreover, its strength was also very great. In the magic beast world, there weren't many magic beasts that could surpass the Stoneskin Bull in terms of strength.
After many years of experimenting, the Herculean Bulls finally decided to use the Stoneskin Cattle as their magic beast soul. Because the attributes of the Stoneskin Cattle and the Herculean Bulls were almost the same, the Herculean Bulls had the highest compatibility with the Stoneskin Cattle. Therefore, the Herculean Bulls used their own power to raise the Stoneskin Cattle in captivity.
Of course, this so-called captivity wasn't really raising the Stoneskin Bulls. Instead, they would drive the Stoneskin Bulls to a grassland and prevent them from running away. The Stoneskin Bulls could still move freely in the grassland. If they encountered any danger, the Herculean Bulls wouldn't help them. They would just let the Stoneskin Bulls deal with it themselves.
This was also the common practice of some powerful beastman tribes. After a long period of experimentation, they would find the most suitable magic beast soul for their tribe to absorb. Then they would raise the magic beast in a semi-free manner. When someone in the tribe needed to absorb the beast soul, they would go there and hunt the magic beast to absorb the beast soul.
This way, the fighting strength of their tribe could be guaranteed. After many years of development, the more famous beastman tribes now had their own set of cultivation systems. Compared to before, the fighting strength of the entire tribe was a lot stronger.
On the other hand, some smaller tribes and weaker races couldn't raise magic beasts like the larger tribes. Because of this, the fighting strength of their races didn't increase by much. This also led to the Beastmen becoming more and more powerful while the weaker races became weaker and weaker.
The Herculean Bull Tribe, as a tribe, could raise magic beasts. This was enough to explain their strength. Even the big tribes weren't willing to lightly provoke them.
It was precisely because of this reason that Laura was so surprised when she saw the Bullhead King's flag. The Jackal tribe seemed to pick soft persimmons to pinch. They wouldn't provoke a strong tribe like the Herculean Bull Tribe. Why would they suddenly attack the Herculean Bull Tribe today? Also, why would the Herculean Bull Tribe run to this place? This place wasn't far from Iron Wall Fortress. In the Beastman Prairie, it was considered a border region. It shouldn't be a place where a strong tribe like them would come.
