"Going berserk was originally a privilege of the higher-ranking warriors of Beimon, but the War God Kampas is fair and gave both the warriors and priests a path to become stronger. The seasoned warriors of Beimon can comprehend the power of the war gods horn in the midst of battle and killing, by stirring up their own blood and rage, enter a state of frenzy, greatly increasing their combat strength. Such warriors are generally called berserkers by the beastmen of Beimon, they do not need the priests Berserker War Song to go berserk, we usually call it self-induced frenzy." said Hailen.
"Duloxetine also has this effect." Liu Zhen thought to himself.
"The autonomous frenzy" of the beast warriors combat energy is far better than the frenzied effect of the beast warrior born from "Frenzy War Song", and more importantly, after the frenzy ends, they will only experience a slight dizziness, and their combat effectiveness can still be maintained. This is not something that the "Frenzied Warrior" born from "Frenzy War Song" can match.
In battles against human armies with populations tens of times larger than theirs, frenzy is the best way for the Bimon beastmen to deal with humans, and also the most helpless way.
Helen looked at Liu and said: "I once participated in the annual hunting tournament in my hometown, and I saw the performance of the Orphen tribes frenzied elephant warrior. After entering autonomous frenzy, the expression of the Orphen brave warrior was really similar to yours, with the same blood vessels bulging, and the muscles becoming clear and visible, just like a bunch of earthworms wriggling around underneath, with a very terrifying power."
"My strength is big enough." Liu Zhen looked at the coconut shell underwear that had been pinched to pieces on the ground and couldnt help but laugh and cry.
"At the same time, Bimonts witch doctor can also refine some drugs that induce birth madness, but the side effects of those drugs are also huge." Hailun said: "Im worried that the dragon egg might have a similar effect."
"What will be the aftereffect of taking the witch doctors medicine?" Liu Zhen wanted to know urgently.
"Except for the self-willed frenzy of the Bimon warriors, those who enter a frenzy through drugs and battle songs are just ordinary Bimon beastmen warriors; the powerful combat strength of frenzy requires strong willpower, loyal beliefs, and necessary clarity to maintain. Ordinary warriors cant meet such high requirements, and thats where our sacred altar sacrifices come in - Bimon warriors are the long swords in the hands of the war god Kampas, we are the hands holding the sword; The Requiem in the Totemic Battle Song can make these ordinary warriors who are unaware of fatigue and pain, trapped in frenzied slaughter, recover their minds and original willpower ---------- We are beastmen, not wild beasts."
Helen lowered her eyelids, sighed softly: "Ordinary beastmen warriors, even with the comfort and summons of the Requiem, still have a 20% chance of being unable to withstand the high-load operation of their physical functions after entering frenzy, leading to excessive exhaustion and paralysis, or even death."
"Ah... great power always comes with a necessary price to pay..." Liu Zhen also felt a bit stifled. He was now more and more entering his new identity, his speech and thoughts were starting to lean towards the beastman rather than human.
"Among the hundreds of families of our Fox tribe, among the 800,000 subordinate tribesmen, the number of warriors who can enter autonomous frenzy is absolutely no more than twenty. So I am truly astonished that you can enter a frenzied state, and I cannot describe the painful expression on your face just now, considering that you are only a weak and feeble Sacrificer!" Hǎi Chéns voice was involuntarily filled with pain as he moaned: "Just and fair War God, how could you allow a frail-bodied Sacrificer to enter frenzy...he is the Heaven-chosen Soul Singer you have chosen..."
"Did I go crazy? No, Helen, youre wrong, its absolutely not like that..." Liu Zhen shook his head and tried to recall his state at the time, saying firmly: "At that time, I didnt think about killing or anger at all. I just felt my body was burning hot, so hot that I felt uncomfortable! There were no other feelings besides that!"
This sentence again dragged Helen into a state of contemplation.
Liu Zhen looked at Helens increasingly solemn expression and his heart also started to beat a little faster.
"If it werent for the frenzy state." Helens face suddenly turned very unsightly: "Things would be troublesome!"
Helen thought for a long time, looking at Liu Zhen with an awkward expression and said: "Dear Richard, if its not the result of going crazy that produced this quasi-crazy state, then theres only one possibility left."
"What in the devils name is going on?" Liu stared at Helen in shock.
"Our sacred altars pet, after an unnatural death, will have a rare chance to transfer its original magical elemental power to the sacrificer. This situation has only occurred twice in the thousand-year history of the Sacrificial Rites, and the temple calls this phenomenon The Curse of the Blood Sacrifice. This is...the worst manifestation of the emotional bond between the magic pet and the sacrificer. The direct symptom of being afflicted with this curse is also a state similar to madness."
"What does it mean?" Liu Zhens eyes widened, and he slapped his buttocks, almost jumping up. No matter what the curse word meant, Liu Zhen believed that he would not misunderstand its meaning.
"The relationship between a summoner and their familiar should be one of unity, with the summoner regarding their familiar with the same affection as they would a family member. Its rare for a summoner to harbor resentment towards their own familiar," Helen said. "In the thousand-year history of the Demonology Compendium, there have only been two recorded instances of a summoner falling victim to the Blood Sacrifice curse."
"Whats going on with those two?" Liu Zhen asked.
"They abandoned their wounded magical beasts on the battlefield and escaped with their lives, this cowardly act directly led to their magical beasts bleeding on the battlefield." Helen angrily cursed: "These two pearls that can only wander in the vegetable garden!"
"Damn it! These two cripples..." Liu Zhen was taken aback, swallowed his saliva, and hastily asked: "I still dont quite understand, magic grafting, doesnt that mean these two sacrifices have fully acquired magic, just like human magicians? Wouldnt that be great? Why is it said to be a bad thing instead?"
"When a Shaman abandons their own dignity and identity, they suffer the wrath of the powerful grudge of Blood Offering, which also brings upon them the angry curse of the War God - Kampas will never allow those who abandon their companions to appear in the great and noble Shamanic rituals. As punishment, Shamans who accept the Blood Offering curse will from then on find that their loud war songs no longer have any magical effect. This is the price of betraying friendship. Dont think that possessing magical power is a good thing - magic and song are two completely different elemental powers, and having both can only cause intense rejection between them. This is the origin of the Blood Offering curses maddening state. Even if a Shamans weak body manages to escape this calamity, they cannot avoid another disaster.
The little foxs face was extremely unsightly, as she worried that her beloved, whom she had exchanged her precious maiden flower crown for, would once again be shattered like bubbles."
"What misfortune?" Liu Zhen asked.
"They may have accepted the power of magic, but that doesnt mean they can use it easily. Magic is a mysterious thing, and without systematic learning and innate intuition, trying to control and use it is almost like courting death. Magical backlash will reduce those who use magic recklessly to dust in an instant ------- This is the true meaning of the Blood Sacrifice, the demon beasts are not lacking in wisdom."
Helens words were like a basin of icy water, drenching Liu to the core.
"I...I..." Liu Zhenhong was a bit incoherent: "When did I offend that big model? ??? I didnt abandon it on the battlefield and run away with my life!"
"Hes my first pet! How can you treat me like this!" Liu was so shocked that his teeth chattered loudly.
Helen didnt say a word, she was staring at several irregular eggshells on the ground that had been bitten.
"But it was already dead at that time! How could it know I ate its egg?" Liu Zhens eyes widened, somewhat indignant.
"Greed is the greatest original sin of the Pigg tribe..." Helens expression turned somewhat gloomy.
"Hmm..." Liu Zhenhong shook his head: "I still dont believe it, how can such a thing happen!"
"Actually, Im not sure either, Richard. I rather hope all this is just a mistake on my part." Helen looked dejected too.
"What about Guo Guo?" Liu Zhen asked, pinching Guo Guos ear, "Why are you also like me? Can you also enter the state of Blood Sacrifice?"
"Did Guo Guo eat this dragon egg too and lie on your head like before?" Helen asked again.
"Yes."
"The powerful curse of the Blood Offering, is to concentrate all the resentment and lock it onto your body, no wonder youre always unlucky, who let it always like to stick on your head." Helen seemed to still remember to eat a bit of fruit while annoying Liu Zhen with vinegar.
"Its all over! Im done for! And to think I still had some fruit left!" Liu Zhenpeng wailed, and with a thud, he sat down on the ground.
"They all said so, but I still cant be certain!" Helen glared at him, "Why dont you try singing the war song quickly? If it works, then my inference is wrong. Hurry up and stand up, wheres your courage as a warrior? Do you need the God of War to pull you up?"
Liu Zhenhong immediately stood up upon hearing this, and let out a loud, ear-piercing howl. Helen liked and was most puzzled by this aspect of his - normally he seemed timid to the extreme, but at truly critical moments, you couldnt see even a hint of tension between his eyebrows.
What a strange lover. Helen sweetly gave Liu Zhen a new nickname.
The stirring war song made Helen also involuntarily follow the rhythm and sing along.
The song has ended.
Helen looked at Liu Zhen with a complex mood, her eyes making Liu Zhens heart feel another wave of apprehension.
"Hurry up and say the result!" Liu Zhen felt that his own war song had completely lost its former wonderful feeling when singing.
"Richard! Theres no doubt that youve indeed fallen under the evil curse of the Blood Sacrifice." Helen said with a hint of a smile.
"Has my battle song gone to waste?" Liu Zhen felt an inexplicable sense of loss welling up inside him, as if a toy he had never cared about before was suddenly lost, and only then did he realize its preciousness.
"Dear Richard, you dont know how unlucky you are, and you also dont know how lucky you are." Helens eyes were moist: "Your current battle song is almost at the edge of disappearing compared to when you first sang it. The innate singing power of a born singer has almost disappeared, and the additional effect of the spiritual battle song is also very weak. Thank goodness for the God of War! He actually left you with a glimmer of hope, the Blood Sacrifice curse of the demon beast did not completely deprive your battle song of its function."
"Idiot!" Liu Zhen was exasperated, sighing heavily. No matter what, he couldnt be pleased, and raising a fool was his own child after all.
"As for the Blood Offering, there are too few records in the temples ritual canon, and I dont fully understand the power of this curse either. But in any case, you should be considered a miracle! Because this proves how much the war god dotes on you." Helen was very excited.
It seems that the old turtle didnt have the energy to utter any nonsense curses. Liu Zhen was pleased with himself again, and stroked Guo Guos head with a complacent smile.
"Oh, jinxed creature! How much more bad luck do you want to bring to Richard!" Helen gently pinched Guo Guos little face, and Guo Guo quickly burrowed into Liu Zhens arms, only revealing two big ears outside, trembling with fear.
Liu Zhen was also worried at first, after coming here and running into this "calamity beast" Frost Snow Pichu, he indeed hadnt encountered any good things, but had a basket full of bad ones. Not to mention his nose being broken, before even eating, he ran into a Wind System Magic Wolf, almost losing his life, then again was cursed by his own magic beast, what kind of thing is this?!
But seeing Guo Guo being scared like this by Helens single sentence "Creature of bad luck", Liu Zhen was a bit heartbroken.
"Who said its a jinx?" Liu Zhenhong covered the Guoguo in his arms, as if he had hidden a precious treasure, and spoke with a doting tone: "Id say Guoguo is a lucky charm! Without it, I might have kicked the bucket already!"
Guo Guo poked out a pair of big eyes from his arms and stared at Liu Zhen with sparkling eyes.
"Helen poked Liu Zhens forehead with her finger and scolded him, I was just kidding, look at you getting so tense!"
"Didnt I have magic?" Liu Zhen suddenly remembered: "What can I do?"
"Helen shouted, her face pale with fright, Dont use magic recklessly! That will get you killed!"
"Dog fart!" Liu Zhen said strangely: "I didnt feel any magical signs in my body, I just felt that my body was full of power!"
"What magic did you see it use when that model and the demon wolf were fighting?" Helen was also puzzled.
"Ah~~~~" Liu Zhen said, pointing to the half-foot deep hole on the ground: "I saw that model was just such a guy, using its claws to make a hole in the ground and beat the magic wolf to death."
"What a big hole!" Helen stared at the large pit and stuck out her tongue.
"Is it going to graft its strength onto me?" Liu Zhen was startled and smiled strangely: "Strength isnt magic, can it be grafted?"
"Magic relies on elemental power, and strength is also a form of power. If I were to graft my strength onto you, its not entirely impossible." Helen still found it hard to believe, "But... what kind of Wyrmkin doesnt have magic, only strength?"
"Ill try and see." Liu Zhen shook his inflated muscles, walking towards a green stone lying at the edge of the bamboo forest. The quadrangular stone was as high and large as two millstones used by farmers to grind grain that Liu had seen before. Its surface was covered with slippery moss and dry vines.
"Helen let out a scream."
"Why?" Liu Zhen asked, covering his ears.
"Magic backlash!" Helen asked: "Have you forgotten the curse of the magic beast?"
"How is that possible!" Liu Zhenhong laughed and said: "Im also tired of talking, why havent I seen any curse happening? If there really is a backlash, you cant escape even if you run!"
"No way is no way!" Helens hair shook into a red wheat wave, her face was unyielding.
Guo Guo took advantage of their quarrel and jumped out of Liu Zhens arms, hopping towards the bluestone slab.
Liu Zhen and Helen stopped arguing and stared blankly at Guo Guo.
"What does Guo Guo want to do?" Liu Zhen asked Helen.
Helen shook her head.
"Isnt it going to try the weight of that stone?" Liu Zhen said with a smile.
Guo Guos small paws had already reached the bottom of that large recumbent stone, and its tiny body, set off by the massive stone slab, looked like a bean sprout standing next to a big cabbage.
"Guǒ guǒ bù yào ā~~~~!" Liú zhèn hàn de tóng kǒu shùn jiān shōu jǐn le, chě zhe pò luó sǎng zi dà jiào jiào qǐ lái: "**** nǐ mā xiǎo tù zǐ, dāng xīn mó fǎ lì liàng fǎn bèi!"
Translation:
"Guoguo dont want to~~~~!" Liu Zhenhans pupils suddenly contracted, and he shouted loudly in a hoarse voice: "**** your mother little rabbit, beware of the magic power backlash!"

Rushed to the top successfully, thank you brothers! Miracle! Thanks to Redbeard brothers advertisement on the forum!
To stay on the list for two weeks and avoid gossip, Ill change it to one chapter per day, with a few more words. After falling off the list at 1.5 million, Ill make another push.
About the tedious plot, I think its probably because I wanted to explain too much background at first, haha, island life is coming to an end soon, Robinsons days are numbered. Thinking back to those years, Nine Nights online game "Datang", a single Cloud Beast fought for tens of thousands of words, haha......
