Chapter 271 - 271 265 Play the Ghost!_1

271: Chapter 265: Play the Ghost!_1 271: Chapter 265: Play the Ghost!_1 The waning moon hung high in the sky, its feeble light partially obscured by a thin layer of clouds driven by a gentle wind.

The entire Great Wasteland was enveloped in the tranquility of the night.

After a month of relentless hunting by the Guardian Clan Soldiers, the vicious beasts near the Gu Yuan Tribe had been all but annihilated, providing the tribe with a reserve of blood food.

This had made the nights in the Gu Yuan Tribe somewhat quiet, devoid of the roars of beasts under the nighttime sky.

The stone tower at the center of the tribe traced out a vague outline in the soft moonlight.

At the peak of the Great Hall, fierce flames burned ferociously, producing a continuous sound of beast oil exploding.

All the Blood Refining Realm Warriors in the tribe were assembled, each sitting respectfully on their stone chairs.

Even then, every one of them wore a hint of jubilation on their faces.

Xiao Chen sat at the top, but today there was an unexpected guest in the hall.

It was the little Pegasus that everyone despised yet were unable to do anything about.

It lay coiled at Xiao Chen’s feet, its wings tucked in and its golden eyes blinking incessantly.

Somewhat amusingly, around its neck hung a large bag made from beast skin.

The pouch, protected by the Pegasus’ Blood Qi, was immune to the scorching flames.

The next moment, the beast skin bag slightly opened, revealing a pill as round as a jade that gave off a strong fragrance.

It appeared out of nowhere and instantly found its way into the Pegasus’s mouth, chomping relentlessly.

Such a waste!

Whenever the Pegasus’ golden jaws moved, it made all the Blood Refining Realm Warriors in the hall clench their fists in anger.

They wanted so badly to snatch the beast skin bag around its neck.

These were real elixirs!

What frustrated them even more was that the medicinal materials used to refine these pills were stolen by the little Pegasus from their hands.

No matter where they hid the materials, they would be discovered by it.

Fortunately, as the tribal leader, Xiao Chen did not treat them unfairly, and he would grant them corresponding allowances every month for their cultivation.

“Reporting to the leader, today five hundred and twenty-five children from our Gu Yuan Tribe commenced their foundation building in martial arts.

Among them, the five with superior talent have absorbed the Treasured Blood produced by the two-star beast, successfully condensing their Blood Qi, tempering their meridians, and stepping into the Bone Tempering Realm!”

“Good!”

The moment one begins to temper the first bone in their body, they can say they have stepped into the first realm of martial arts, and the Bone Tempering Realm.

To start tempering their meridians when they were only just starting to build their martial arts foundation is evidence of superior talent.

As long as they are fortunate enough, it might not be impossible for them to become Heavy Tower Realm Martial in the future.

“The number of children who have built their martial arts foundation is five hundred and three, while seventeen were not able to integrate with the Treasured Blood.”

Not being able to integrate with the Treasured Blood might suggest that the child’s ability to merge with Blood Qi is extremely low.

Given the same resources, a more talented warrior might be able to absorb 80 or even 90% of it, while a warrior with a low degree of integration might only be able to absorb 10% or even less of its energy for his own cultivation.

“Hmmm!” Xiao Chen nodded slightly.

This result was within his expectations.

Talent is super mysterious—it is defined by fate, and he was unable to change it.

For those children with low fusion rates with Blood Qi, the only thing Xiao Chen could assure was to provide them a safe and stable life.

“Elder of the Technique Transmission Hall, starting from today, you will be responsible for teaching the techniques to the children in the tribe.

The five children with top-tier talents will be granted high-grade human-level techniques to cultivate.

The rest of the children are to cultivate mid-grade human-level techniques!”

“Yes, sir!”

Elder Lin Shan stood up in response.

As the elder of the Technique Transmission Hall, it was his duty to oversee the cultivation of the children in the tribe.

Upon hearing Xiao Chen’s words, half of the Blood Refining Realm Warriors were shocked.

They hadn’t expected Xiao Chen to grant high-grade human-level techniques for the tribe children to cultivate.

A single high-grade human-level technique was enough to support a lower-tier human Battle Division.

In their original tribes, family martial arts were no more than high-grade human-level techniques, with some even being only mid-grade.

Only the tribe leader, elders, or those who had made great contributions could cultivate them.

Yet now, Xiao Chen was generously giving them out to children who had just started building their martial arts foundation.

Had the ways of the world in the Great Wasteland changed?

Were high-tier human-level techniques now worthless, or were there even more advanced techniques within the tribe!?

“Wait!” At this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly called out to stop Lin Shan.

“Provide the secret body refinement technique that our clan brought back from Duanmu City to the seventeen children who failed to merge with the treasured blood for training!”

“Yes.”

For these children who dream of becoming Human War Soldiers and fighting in the Great Wasteland, but have low aptitudes and find it difficult to cultivate their Combat Qi, it is a heavy blow.

Xiao Chen also wanted to give them an opportunity.

After all, the secret war body technique brought back was once the foundation of a supreme Human King Tribe, so it must have its merits.

Of course, it’s not merely about these children learning the techniques.

Apart from their daily cultivation, they also have to learn archery.

By the time they are twelve or thirteen years old, they will be led into the Desolate Ancient Forest by the tribe’s hunting team to hunt and gradually adapt to the battles in the Great Wasteland.

“Elders, the foundation of the Gu Yuan Tribe has just been established, and we need to work together to ensure the survival of our tribe’s lineage!”

Except for Que Feng and Meng Yue, who were appointed as chiefs of a thousand men, all the other Blood Refining Realm warriors who pledged allegiance were appointed as elders of the tribe, forming an elder group.

They jointly discuss the tribe’s major events in usual days.

The tribe supplies them resources for cultivation, but does not assign them specific tasks; after all, the Gu Yuan Tribe does not have enough soldiers for them to lead.

Also in this night, deep in an ancient forest somewhere in the Great Wasteland, an eerie wind suddenly blew, accompanied by a chillingly cold black mist.

Ghostly howls could be heard within the mist, with ghostly figures lurking and a terrifying ghost face faintly appearing, sending chills down one’s spine.

In the void, the ghastly green ghost flames flickered.

In the next moment, the black mist churned and turned thick as ink.

The green flames, which seemed about to extinguish, burst vigorously into life, becoming even more intense.

“Are these measly Ghost Tribe’s silly tricks all you can do!”

Unexpectedly, a voice rang out, and it belonged to a member of the Human Tribe.

A middle-aged man eventually seated himself on a black rock in the center of the boundless black mist, surrounded by his vitality.

The dark-as-ink ghost Qi couldn’t even approach him.

Puff!

The layers of black mist were parted, revealing a flash of blood-red color.

A green ghost flame the size of a soybean floated out from the gap in the black mist.

In the next moment, it transformed into the figure of a middle-aged man, with two green fires burning in his eyes.

His face had rotten flesh that hadn’t healed completely, which was extremely terrifying.

His body seemed to alternately exist in two different spaces.

“Haha, so what if I’m just putting on a show?

That’s still better than some insiders who collude with outsiders!

If your soldiers knew that their leader was secretly making deals with our Ghost Tribe, the scene would definitely be interesting!”

As the middle-aged ghost spoke, a gust of ghostly Qi howled out, with the two green fires in his eyes continuously flickering.

Humph!” Apparently, the middle-aged man was furious at having his secret exposed by the Ghost Tribe.

“With your ragtag band of followers, my tribe can extinguish you with a flick of a finger.

Do you really think you can rampage through the Great Wasteland?”

The negotiation between the human and the ghost suddenly fell silent.

The green fire in the middle-aged ghost’s eyes kept flickering.

He knew he couldn’t pressure the human warrior too much.

Their force was a mere assembly of stragglers, and if the human tribes determined to eliminate them, they would surely be annihilated.

“Why have you summoned me here?” The middle-aged ghost’s eerie gaze flickered coldly.

“I have found an excellent location for you and your motley crew from the Exotic Clan!”
