That night, the Shu Clan was unable to get much sleep. The healthy members of the group kept turns guarding against beast attacks,

Shang Ke's soul also stood guard as well within the camp. He wandered to the tent of the Chief's eldest daughter, Tima. The girl who was around twelve or thirteen years old was lying on the bed with her eyes shut. She was whispering her prayers to the god of protection for her people. .

As she prayed, Shang Ke felt the flow of energy from her body filling him. It was a small amount but it was pure like honey.

At that moment, a few warning whistles suddenly sounded out from the side of the camp. It caused the barely-conscious group of people to abruptly wake up. The healthy adults took some weapons before gathering together. The women, the elderly, and the children stayed in their tents nervously waiting for their fate to be decided.

While they weren't able to participate in the battle, they prayed for those members of the clan who were silenced. The numbering of people praying to him gradually increased. Shang Ke's body gained increasing amounts of power from this. His dried spiritual reserves filled up with more steam.

""Aooooo...." The sound of the beast's violent roar filled the air, announcing their arrival.

The members of the Shu Clan clenched their weapons and wielded them vigorously. Once they noticed the blood wolves emerge out of the bushes with a ferocious gleam in the eyes, their faces became drained of blood.

There were at least two dozen blood wolves that stared at their prey in a crazed manner.

The Shu Clan was made of two-hundred people. Half of their population consisted of either the elderly or the female population. Since there were at least two dozen blood wolves to fight against, the clan would suffer greatly even if their clan survived this attack.

The Shu clansmen all had grim expressions on their faces as they prepared for the battle with the weapons in their hands. The sound of a wolf's howl filled the air, and they curled their backs in preparation for the upcoming battle.

Right before the two sides could engage into battle, a ray of light with shadows came from the sky. A blurry human-shaped figure solidified in between the humans and blood wolves.

He had a muscular figure with a creepy-looking mask on his face. He had a hammer in his hands. His transparent hair flowed like wisps of smoke near his waist. A fluorescent light emanated from him and shone on his surroundings.

The ferocious blood wolves who were originally ferocious now let out an uneasy, soft growl. They all felt jittery as they paced back and forth.

The Shu Clan felt surprised at the shadowy image before them which was obviously the embodiment of a god. As for their god, he had perished over a hundred years ago and it was hard to recreate the statue of a god. They didn't have a god to call their own even to this day. All other gods had officially abandoned them which is why other communities weren't willing to accept them.

The figure of the god in front of them was different from the original god they believed in. This type of 'basic' but bold style could be traced to at least a thousand years ago.

Shang Ke now officially materialized. He utilized all his divine power in a gamble to put on a false image of a god in order to scare away the wolves. He also presented himself in a shiny and impressive way in front of the Shu Clan. It can be said that he was breaking the cauldron to sink the boat. He had no choice but to succeed in his mission. Failure was not an option!

However, this pack of blood wolves were not ready to give up so easily. They howled uninterrupted at him.

A thousand years ago, the Evil God had been cocky when he had brought calamity and plague to the world. Now he was unable to frighten some insignificant blood wolves. He really was a fallen god that couldn't even take care of a dog!
