Chapter 402: Chapter 391: Drawing the Territory!_1

Gu Yuan Mountain Range, a domain of two thousand miles.

The Desolate Ancient Forest spreads unbroken, and deeper within its shadows lurks an even more terrifying place compared to the primitive jungle. Giant ancient trees tower towards the sky, obscuring every trace of sunlight, casting the earth beneath into gloom. Countless marshes and pits are concealed underneath these shadows.

Entering deep into the ancient forest is akin to stepping into a natural graveyard, filled with chilling white bones and blood marks turned black over the unfathomable flow of time. In python-sized tree hollows, caves filled with apex predators, two-foot-long narrow-snouted crocodiles lurking by the shallow water edges – within the Desolate Ancient Forest roams horde after horde of creatures radiating powerful vitality and ferocious brutality, ceaselessly waging war for survival.

This is a land where bloodshed is a ceaseless occurrence, Great Wasteland is a hunting ground, and all living creatures are both hunters and prey. On this desolate land, throughout the endless years, the strong become the hunters, the weak become blood food. The earth is constantly drenched in blood, but there’s no right or wrong in this, only the struggle for survival and the relentless pursuit to become stronger, refusing to become blood food in other creatures’ mouths..

At the edge of this ancient forest, a black wolf, three yards long, halts its march. Its eyes bold and red as blood, and tusks sharp as knives, it begins to rip apart a unicorn. It had hunted this miserable creature, and despite having large chunks of flesh torn off by the gargantuan wolf, the unicorn remains alive due to its impressive vitality, which only stirs the beast’s vehement hunger. Its entire face is stained red with blood, its crimson eyes filled with madness.

Roar! Roar!

Suddenly, in the distance, from a low hill appear two white exotic beasts, behind them, they are hauling a massive Bronze Battle Chariot. One fierce roar instantly plunges the entire Desolate Ancient Forest into silence.

The black giant wolf, previously engrossed in its frenzy, savagely devouring its prey, is now frightened by the roaring. It immediately cowers onto the ground. Although its blood-red eyes are still filled with infinite madness, the dominating aura of a superior creature forces it motionless.

In a blink of an eye, under the guidance of these two beasts, the Bronze Battle Chariot hurtles past, ignoring the hunting wolf, who is instantly flattened beneath its trundling wheels.

These two snowy white exotic beasts are a pair of snow wolves. Their body is entirely snow-white, their pair of eyes gleaming with a hint of palish-gold. Their eyes emit a supreme majesty, between their brows, two pale-green stars slowly rotate. These stars are as brilliant and splendid as jade, and the aura they emit could rival any Blood Refining Realm Late Phase warriors among the human tribes.

Atop the Bronze Battle Chariot, two people sat cross-legged, behind them a large stone engraved with four characters of Gu Yuan Tribe, bold and assertive.

Those two are none other than Xue Sha and Queyue Ming. Currently, the Gu Yuan Tribe is about to establish its territory, genuinely expanding its land borders. According to the longstanding conventions of the Great Wasteland, an ordinary tribe has a direct jurisdiction of a territory ranging from a one thousand to ten thousand miles radius, the area they can claim obviously depends on the power and strength of their tribe.

Now, Xue Sha and Queyue Ming are on a mission to assess the southern territories of the Gu Yuan Tribe. The Great Wasteland in the southern region is home to three other human tribes, which required the Gu Yuan Tribe to be more cautious.

The Gu Yuan Tribe is now in the process of opening up new territory - the bigger, the better. The extensiveness of their realm represents an increase in their potential resources; this accumulating wealth is the foundation of the tribe.

The Gu Yuan Tribe has now established the new tribal territory on the ruins of the Human Tribe’s Sacred City. The terrain to the Northeast is the Gu Yuan Mountain Range that spans thousands of miles, filled with ancient mountains and countless dangerous beasts. It is a natural hunting ground for blood food. A mere thousand miles to the West lies the fringe of Dragon Fall Mountain range that stretches across the Great Wasteland. It’s a perilous place that also represents endless opportunities and resources.

Only the South is tangled with three other tribes. Initially, when the Demon race occupied this land, the three tribes dared not approach within a thousand miles of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. This fertile land had become a prohibited area, hardly explored by humans, and as a result, the resources there flourished. Now the Gu Yuan Tribe is slaughtering the remnants of the Demon race, reclaiming this land once again. The resource-rich region with abundant blood food will of course be marked within their territory.

At this moment, Xue Sha and Queyue Ming were on their way to the three major tribes to discuss the matter of setting up the boundary marker for their tribal territory.

As the War Chariot crossed over a mountain range that spanned hundreds of miles, Queyue Ming spoke up from atop the chariot, "Elder Blood, the mountain range we just crossed marks the boundary between our Gu Yuan Tribe and the three major tribes to the south. The lands to the north of this mountain range, and to the east for three thousand miles, will all be the territories that our Gu Yuan Tribe intends to secure."

Although Queyue Ming is now a commander of a thousand men, he still felt somewhat restrained when facing Xue Sha. He paused briefly before continuing, "The three major tribes in the south, led by the Mountain Hawk Tribe, suffered a recent defeat at our hands when we repelled one of their elders. Moreover, the fertile lands within a few thousand miles are rich in resources. Despite the presence of the Demonic Race, tribe people of these three tribes still come here to hunt and gather."

At this very moment, two warriors burst out from the Desolate Ancient Forest, a mile away. Just one look at the Bronze Battle Chariot slowly approaching in the distance made them swallow hard in astonishment.

A Star Beast pulled the chariot!

Two white wolves, eyes aglow and brows with slow-turning stars, radiated an invisible yet formidable aura that could be felt even a mile away.

"This beast’s aura?"

Without the slightest hint of emotion, the two wolves’ golden eyes swept over the two men, causing their bodies to shudder and breathing to become heavy. They were too focused on the wolves to notice their prey had slipped off their shoulders and onto the ground.

The two warriors struggled to turn their heads and locked glances. The aura emanating from the snow wolves was as strong as their tribal leader’s. Yet, these wolves were merely employed as draught animals.

"Who are these powerful beings that they travel with such pomp and show!"

"Wait a minute! They are from the north!"

Suddenly, as if recalling something, the two men turned pale. In the northern mountains, a Human War Tribe emerged and butchered the Demon Race that had plagued their tribe for thousands of years. Could this Bronze Battle Chariot truly belong to that formidable and mysterious tribe?

At this moment, they felt an overwhelming urge to flee. However, their fear of the powerful being who used two-star snow wolves as draught animals made them freeze on the spot. Killing them would be as easy as blowing off dust. Eventually, they gritted their teeth, bowed their heads, and made obeisance to the Bronze Battle Chariot as it passed by them.

However, the snow wolves swooshed past them in the blink of an eye, not even acknowledging their existence, and continued their journey southward.
