Chapter 364 - 354

Chapter 364: 354

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

On the vast open land outside the original Queyue Scattered Tribe’s stone village, simple stone houses were built, stretching for several miles. Around these stone houses, simple fences were constructed from ancient trees that were more than ten meters long and as thick as hug. The fences were only about three meters in height.

On the wooden fences, a bronze giant crossbow gleamed with threatening light every ten meters. Taut beast-hide strings tightly strung the meter-long black iron arrows, aiming at the ancient forest several miles away. Patrols of war soldiers were stationed in the camp or patrolling outside.

Around the perimeter, watchtowers over ten meters high were constructed every mile. Similarly, on top of each watchtower, a giant crossbow shone with a chilling light. Ten or so soldiers were stationed on the towers, guarding the safety of the tribe and watching for wild beasts that might suddenly emerge from the wilderness.

The Queyue Clan’s integration into the Gu Yuan Tribe was smooth, causing no ripples. This scattered tribe was simply too small, so small that it couldn’t even form a hundred-man troop. The brothers Queyue Deng and Queyue Ming were appointed by Xiao Chen as centurions and put under Ding Shan’s command. The original Queyue soldiers and several young and strong tribespeople were all drafted into the war troops. Most of them were not qualified to join the Gu Yuan’s warriors considering their abilities, but as the Gu Yuan Tribe had just arrived at Dragon Fall Ridge, they needed these persons from Queyue Scattered Tribe to familiarize them with the surrounding conditions.

The temporary houses seemed a bit disorderly. The tribespeople, who initially looked weary from a long journey, gradually regained their healthy complexion. The tribe might seem chaotic, but it was bustling and alive. The temporary residence was small, but nearly two hundred thousand people were packed there with houses tightly arranged and troops of soldiers passing through.

As a human war tribe with nearly two hundred thousand people, the amount of blood food needed each day was enormous. Every day, tribespeople needed to hunt for blood food deep in the desolate wild to maintain the tribe’s daily consumption. Of course, some ordinary tribespeople also formed teams to hunt in the ancient forest, but they did not dare to go too deep, instead hunting on the outskirts.

Inside the tribe was a greenstone hall, which served as the temporary council hall for the whole tribe. Standing on the top of the hall, Xiao Chen took a deep breath and overlooked the tribe below. The Gu Yuan Tribe had been migrating to the Dragon Fall Territory for more than ten days. With such a huge number of tribespeople, it was almost impossible not to be discovered.

During these days, more than ten groups of outsiders came to investigate the area around the Gu Yuan Tribe. Most were human war tribes within two thousand miles. After all, when a tribe with such a large population suddenly migrates to their territories, suspicions were bound to arise.

In addition, seven or eight days earlier, Xiao Chen had fought a battle with a demon from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range lurking outside the tribe. After Xiao Chen travelled to the human ancient city and boldly killed two demon generals from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain sought revenge. This Purple Demeanor King was sent to investigate Xiao Chen, and if not for the strength of Gu Yuan Tribe, the Purple Demeanor King would have slaughtered every member of the tribe.

Eventually, the wounded Purple Demeanor King returned to Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. This made Xiao Chen reassess the strength of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. The Purple Demeanor King was one of the three demon kings of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range and sufficiently strong to challenge a warrior of the Near Heavy Building Realm. Defeating him injured Xiao Chen as well.

This Purple Demeanor King was only the last among the three demon kings of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. According to rumors among the tribes around Dragon Fall Ridge, all three demon kings of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain were at the peak of Blood Refining Realm but hadn’t broken through yet. This is because whether humans or demons, breaking through to the Towering Realm would result in heavenly tribulation. Nevertheless, these demon kings are considered absolute strong ones, having fully developed their monster veins and forming the Circulating Heaven Qi Sea within their bodies.

Because of this, Xiao Chen did not immediately gather troops to attack the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, as he was not entirely confident at the moment. Regardless of the thousands of demon tribes in the mountain range, even a Demon King who is comparable to the Near Heavy Building Realm of the human clan is difficult to kill with one strike by the Gu Yuan clan.

"Chief, the brothers who are scouting around the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range have sent back news. The demons in the mountains have not shown any unusual activity and appear to have quieted down. Even the teams that usually scatter to catch human blood food have been recalled and can’t be found!"

Huang Liang Thousand Troops Leader also came to the top of the Great Hall and spoke to Xiao Chen.

The Dark Hall Chief Tie Wen was left in the Giant Stone Valley by Xiao Chen to monitor the movements of the Iron Hoof War Division and other human battle divisions. At this moment, Huang Liang replaced him, responsible for external intelligence reconnaissance of the Gu Yuan clan.

"Only with ten fingers clenched together can you throw the strongest punch. The Demon King of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range has recalled all the demon soldiers from outside. They are afraid that it won’t be long before they send troops to attack us, the Gu Yuan. Besides that, I can’t think of any other reason for these demons to continue hiding!"

Xiao Chen turned around and continued to Huang Liang, "These demons of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range are blatantly occupying territories in the Land of Human Clan, and they’ve been running rampant for a hundred years. Both the human battle divisions and scattered divisions within a range of three thousand miles have suffered a lot. As the clan chief, I have killed two of their demon generals on a trip to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. Can they swallow their pride with such an arrogant attitude? Now they haven’t sent out troops because they probably haven’t figured out the details of our Gu Yuan Clan. It won’t be long before demon soldiers come to attack!"

"Chief, we’ve also suddenly descended on this Dragon Fall Ridge. In the past few days, there have been various soldiers from other tribes appearing and disappearing, but none of them fights with our Gu Yuan clan’s warriors. As soon as they realize they’ve been spotted by our clan, they flee immediately!"

Huang Liang continued, unable to resist saying, "I’ve asked the people of the Queyue Clan, and the closer a tribe is to the center of this Dragon Fall Ridge area, the stronger it is. This place is already at the edge of the Dragon Fall Territory in the west, and even if all the human battle divisions within three thousand miles were added up, they wouldn’t be a match for our Gu Yuan tribe. These tribes keep sending scouts to spy on us - could they suspect that our Gu Yuan tribe wants to swallow them?"

"It’s normal to have such thoughts. Our Gu Yuan clan’s primary enemies are the demons from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. Only by slaughtering the demons in the mountain range can we retrieve the original human ancient city, and only then can our Gu Yuan clan establish an immutable foundation for our clan!"

"You mean, chief...." Huang Liang was a little confused.

"Our Gu Yuan clan has already prepared to establish a new clan branch here," Xiao Chen said, "and sooner or later, we will have to deal with these surrounding human clans. So, have the Grand Elder and Shi Ya led by Queyue Ming to visit these human tribes and show them the force of our Gu Yuan clan!"

Ps: I boasted that there would be five updates today, but the chief has broken his promise. The chief is sick today, only managed to post two Chapters from morning till now. I don’t have the energy to write anymore. I still owe three updates today which I’ll make up for in the following days.
