Chapter 348: 338

Above the vast marsh, water splashes emerged occasionally, creating ripples that spread out, emitting a strong fishy smell. However, these youngsters didn’t mind it at all, attentively listening to Queyue Ming’s explanation.

Seeing the determination in the eyes of these youngsters, a few of the youths standing near Queyue Ming nodded with satisfaction. One of them walked forward with a smile, stating, "Brother Ming is indeed correct; you all are our Queyue Tribe’s future. However, at this moment, you all are still far from ready."

"Boys, watch closely now!"

Queyue Ming yelled again as he leaped into the marsh. The mire swallowed his legs up to his knees, but he didn’t sink further.

"Brother Ming’s strength has increased. The marsh only engulfs him to his knees now. Soon, he could match the strength of the tribal leader, and our Queyue Clan will have two warriors who have achieved the Perfect Bone-Tempering Realm!"

"Indeed. If Brother Ming can break through to the Blood Refining Realm and become a warrior of the Thousand Captain level as a Human War Soldier, our Queyue Clan will no longer have to tolerate the oppression of other tribes and the ferocious beasts that often come out of the ancient forest in the mountain ranges!"

"Becoming a true Battle Division of a higher rank has always been our Queyue Clan’s hope. Brother Ming is the most hopeful one in the tribe to break through to the Blood Refining Realm. I wonder when we’ll be able to reach such a realm."

Unmoved by the tribe peoples’ comments, Queyue Ming chuckled bitterly to himself. Breaking through to the Blood Refining Realm wasn’t that simple. Without powerful Martial Arts Classics and sufficient resources, how could one achieve it? Otherwise, the Queyue Clan wouldn’t need to dwell here.

His eyes continuously scanned over the mire while the stone spear in Queyue Ming’s hand radiated a chilly and murderous light.

The Azure Serpent Marsh was named after the Azure Serpent Beast, with the mire blocking one’s sight. However, the Azure Serpent Beast, which lay low in the mire and seldom showed itself, was impossible to detect with the naked eye. One could only rely on some sudden rising bubbles or minor water ripple vibrations in the marsh.

"Now is the time!"

Queyue Ming, with his fully focused expression, suddenly shouted. The black stone spear in his hand turned into an afterimage and fiercely penetrated the marsh beneath, with only a small tail part visible above the water surface.

Roar!

The tranquil marsh suddenly became turbulent, and a muffled roar echoed from under the mire. It sounded furious yet unwilling.

"The stone spear has pinned down the Azure Serpent Beast!"

Immediately after, Queyue Ming shouted, and mud splashed high into the sky. A beast, resembling a catfish yet covered in green scale armor and about ten feet long, was tossed out from the mire.

Upon a closer look, the baby palm-sized green scale armor on its body shimmered phosphorescently under the sun. Its body was covered with a sticky, transparent substance, and its massive mouth was filled with sharp and long tusks.

Queyue Ming didn’t stop the amazed exclamations from the youngsters behind him. After all, he started the same way. However, for them at the moment, catching this Azure Serpent Beast was a bit challenging due to its slippery body. It was hard to pierce it with a stone spear, let alone when these creatures were hiding deep within the mire.

Squelch! Squelch! Squelch!

Without a moment of hesitation, Queyue Ming brandished his stone spear again, aiming at the exposed Azure Serpent Beast. Not until blood splashed high into the sky, covering the surrounding mire with a bloody smell, did the Azure Serpent Beast which had been roaring lose its life.

Only then did Queyue Ming’s voice rise once again, "Although the Azure Serpent Beast is good at hiding, it needs to breathe, which causes bubbles on the water surface. Judging by these bubbles, we can determine where this beast is hiding and avoid being hurt by its sudden violent reaction!"

He passed on the knowledge and experience he knew to these younger generations of the tribe. All these were strategies obtained through trials of blood by generations of the Queyue Scattered Tribe, potentially life-saving in perilous situations.

Just then, Queyue Ming’s gaze drifted towards the deeper part of the marsh, where a golden figure was swiftly approaching his location along the marsh.

"An expert!"

The next moment, Queyue Ming’s pupils contracted violently. Having finally noticed the newcomer, he saw a golden flame, with a majestic figure seemingly seated within it. The golden flame moved astonishingly fast; in a blink of an eye, it had traveled from the horizon to a hundred feet away from where they were standing.

"Greetings to the high-ranking officer from the upper country. I am the chief of the Queyue Scattered Tribe. May I ask the reason for your presence here?"

Queyue Ming didn’t dare to delay, quickly bowing slightly in salutation.

"This is a Sky Horse."

His heart stirred up waves at this moment; suddenly, a spark flickered in his mind, finally remembering the name of the exotic beast under this mysterious warrior.

This was the Sky Horse, which only the most formidable could acquire as their mount according to legends. It was said that there was a Human Emperor in the past who rode a Sky Horse during his conquest of the Hundred Realms, leaving endless legends behind. For this reason, rumors about an agreement formed between the Sky Horse and humans remained in the Desolate Wilds.

Despite zero presence from the newcomer, he still felt suffocated. Coupled with the ring of a Sky Horse, the person was undoubtedly formidable. However, he was oblivious to the existence of such an expert in the Dragon Fall Territory, no matter how hard he racked his brain.

Regardless, he didn’t have time to ponder this right now. He cautiously bowed to the mysterious warrior in front of him. Even the younger members of his tribe, who were standing behind him, had stopped joking around, standing stiffly behind him as they carefully examined Xiao Chen.

Simultaneously, Xiao Chen was observing them. Among the ten or more people in front of him, the only one who caught his attention was the robust youth, even if he had only achieved the Perfect Bone-Tempering Realm. Under his threading, he saw that the youth had sustained some internal injuries.

Partly this occurred due to practicing Martial Arts Classics that were too rough, while another part was due to previous injuries that had yet to heal completely but were suppressed. These injuries might not be noticeable now in his prime, but they could emerge troublingly as time went on.

Clearly, judging by the sight of these few individuals and the stone city by the side of the marsh, this was a scattered tribe.
