Chapter 401: Chapter 390: Giant Wood Ancient City! (First update)_1

Gu Yuan Mountain Range, Three thousand miles south of the Great Wasteland.

This is an ancient city, its old and mottled city walls exuding a hint of blackness, filled with traces of mottling, sword marks, gun prints, and even some parts of the wall have cracked, falling in chunks.

Within the ancient city are ancient trees that shade the sun, each one a hundred feet high. Under these ancient trees, the ruined and timeworn ancient city is hidden, and strangely enough, the houses in the city are all surrounded by these giant trees.

Upon these giant trees are numerous branches, which have been artificially built with wooden huts, wooden towers, and the whole city is bustling with activity with many tribe people walking on these massive tree branches.

This ancient city is a human city remaining from countless years ago, a fortress city that once belonged to the human civilization’s sacred city, Dragon Fall City. There were as many as nine such fortress cities around Dragon Fall City tens of thousands of years ago, but after the passage of countless years, the nine ancient cities, like their parent cities, have largely turned to ruins.

Now only two such fortress cities remain, one being this Giant Wood Ancient City, and the other is Black Stone Ancient City located in the southern part of Gu Yuan Mountain Range.

The ancient city, eroded by countless years, has seen the glory and decline of countless human tribes. Today’s Dragon Fall City has already become ruins after the war of ten thousand years ago, but these two fortress cities, though broken and incomplete, have been better preserved.

At this moment, the master of Giant Wood Ancient City is the Mountain Hawk Battle Division, who joined forces with two other tribes to take advantage during the Exotic Clan’s conquest of Gu Yuan Tribe, aiming to ambush the enemy’s rear base.

Not only this, two of the three major human war tribes, apart from Mountain Hawk Battle Division, the territory of Phoenix Mountain Tribe, another human war tribe, is also one of the remaining fortress cities, Black Stone Ancient City.

The Green Sea Battle Division, the Phoenix Mountain Battle Division, and the Black Hawk Battle Division, due to their proximity to the human ancient city relics, have been under the threat of the demons in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range for a thousand years. Each of the three major tribes is no match for the demons, hence they combined as allies in order to resist the invasion of the demons.

Although the three major tribes formed an alliance to resist the invasion of the demons, the strength of the three combined could barely keep themselves safe. They were always in fear of the demons, a fear that stemmed from countless years of being tortured by them.

The tribes suffered constantly under the oppression of the demons, so they were extremely vigilant about the movements in the mountain range where demons were present. The tribes hidden around the area of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range were always digging out information about demons.

This is why they knew that the demons from Ten Thousand Mountain Range, under the leadership of the three demon kings, had attacked the Gu Yuan Tribe and wiped them all out.

They originally assumed that the origin of this unknown tribe, even if they destroyed the remnants of the demons, it would have severely damaged their primal energy.

Located next to the demon land, it is very clear to the three tribes just how many resources the demons in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range have accumulated over the thousand years. Wealth has always been tempting, enough to make them risk all dangers. Not to mention, for the past hundreds to thousands of years, the tribes have been tormented by demons, and they had no idea how many tribesmen were eaten by demons. Now that all of the demon kings were killed and the mountain range was empty, if they did not seize the opportunity to reap great profits, it would be a betrayal to themselves.

But to their surprise, it turned out to be a loss-making business. They not only failed to get any resources left by the demons, but all the three thousand War Masters sent by their tribes were also caught by the Gu Yuan Tribe and reduced to slaves.

In the center of the Giant Wood Ancient City, there is an ancient tree with a height of three hundred feet and a diameter of a hundred that occupies several thousand square feet of land. The tree is said to be planted when the Giant Wood Ancient City was just built tens of thousands of years ago.

What’s a pity is that this towering giant tree has already lost its breath of life and turned into a withered stump. But this remaining stump was also hollowed out to create a huge wooden hall, where more than a dozen Blood Refining Realm Warriors are sitting.

Inside the Withered Wood Great Hall.

An old man is sitting crossed-legged on a withered wooden cushion at the top. This old man looks frail and thin, wearing a large, faded yellow robe, his hair completely white. Even from a distance, one can feel the decay emanating from him.

This old man is Qingmu, the chief of the Mountain Hawk Tribe. He has reached the peak of the Blood-Refining Realm by connecting twelve heavenly meridians and formed the Heaven Circulation, he is the only one among the three tribes who can compete with the three Demon Kings. However, he’s now old and his vitality has started to decline, the Blood Refining Realm is his limit.

Although the old man looks old, as long as he is not dead, he is a deterrent. The other two tribes would have to acknowledge the primacy of his Mountain Hawk Tribe. But now that every remnant of the demon tribe has been purged, and only a few little demons are scattered and fleeing, the external crisis of the three major tribes has been lifted. We don’t know how long this alliance of the three tribes can last.

Below the Chief Greenwood, the chiefs of the Phoenix Mountain Tribe and the Green Sea Tribe are also seated on withered wooden cushions. They are two middle-aged men, whose cultivation has also reached the peak of the Blood Refining Realm, but haven’t yet connected the twelve heavenly meridians to form the Heaven Circulation. In addition, there are nine other Blood Refining Realm Warriors in the great hall, who are the elders and generals of several major tribes, and they all have a great say in their respective tribes.

"Chief, the Gu Yuan Tribe is overbearing!" an elder said with a frown, "Not only have they enslaved our fighters from the three tribes, but they also claimed that according to the rules of the Great Wasteland, we need to pay an equivalent ransom in resources before they will release our warriors!"

"This uncivilized tribe from nowhere is too arrogant! Our three tribes launched an attack against the demon tribe, eliminating the scourge that has plagued our Dragon Ridge land for a thousand years. This Gu Yuan Tribe, overcome by their desire for profits, disregarded the loyalty of the human tribes. In orderto monopolize the wealth left by the demon tribe, they brutally killed our tribesmen. Do they think they can do whatever they want in the Great Wasteland just because they are minor war tribes?"

The chief of Phoenix Mountain Battle Division is named Feng Xiang, and the chief of the Green Sea Battle Division is named Lu Ming. At this moment, the two glanced at each other, and Feng Xiang spoke, "Chief Qingmu, this unknown tribe seems to not regard our three tribes at all. They insult us like this. No matter the reason, our tribesmen fight to eliminate the enemy of humankind and exterminate the survivors of the Exotic Clan. They showed no regard for the righteousness of the human tribes. We cannot let this matter slide!"

The soldiers of the tribe were captured by the Gu Yuan Tribe and reduced to slaves. Therefore, the three tribes sent tribal elders to negotiate with the Gu Yuan Tribe. However, before they had even reached a hundred miles into New City of Gu Yuan Tribe, they were driven back. One can imagine the suffocation in their hearts.
