Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Clan Leader, Huo Lingjun

But he looked at Huo Liuli, and it seemed that she was not affected by the high temperature, probably accustomed to it.

But looking at her exposed limbs and slender waist, as well as her clothing, he was a bit puzzled. On such a hot day, why was she wearing a skirt with fur?

Wouldn’t a layer of coarse linen be cooler?

In response to Xiao Zhan’s question, Huo Liuli didn’t answer and just silently led the way.

Xiao Zhan took the hint and did not ask any further questions.

Along the way, Xiao Zhan encountered some members of the Earthfire Tribe, who respectfully called Huo Liuli the Holy Daughter.

This took Xiao Zhan by surprise a little. He knew that Huo Liuli was no ordinary person, but he hadn’t expected her status to be so extraordinary.

She was a Holy Daughter, which was quite impressive.

Continuing on, Xiao Zhan arrived at a place resembling an altar. There was a triangular pyramid made of stone blocks at the center of the altar. The pyramid was not very tall, only about six or seven meters, but it was engraved with many runes that Xiao Zhan could not understand.

Below the pyramid, a group of people sat around with their hands pressed together, seemingly praying or possibly cultivating.

Huo Liuli did not explain the purpose of this building and continued leading him forward.

Soon, they passed through a large corridor and walked into a square, eventually arriving in front of a stone house.

Before even entering the stone house, Xiao Zhan felt an extremely strong sense of discomfort.

The temperature here was even higher than outside, and the air was so dry it seemed to contain not a single drop of moisture. Just breathing a few breaths made his throat feel dry and scratchy as if he had swallowed flour.

This made Xiao Zhan quickly take out a Spirit Fruit, take a bite, and hold it in his mouth. The ample moisture provided relief, making him feel much better.

"Can people really live in this place?" Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but wonder to himself.

He didn’t know about others, but there was no way he could live here himself. Damn it, even one more second here felt like torture.

Then, the door was pushed open, and Huo Liuli gestured for Xiao Zhan to enter.

Without hesitation, Xiao Zhan walked in, eager to finish up and leave this place.

He really couldn’t stay in this terrible place.

Inside, he saw an old woman with grayish-white hair that was neatly combed. She was thin, and her clothing was similar to that of Huo Liuli’s, but with more ornaments.

It seemed she was the Clan Leader.

Xiao Zhan had assumed the Clan Leader would be a man, but it turned out to be an old woman.

Just as he was thinking this, the old woman suddenly moved her hand, and a white object flew towards Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan caught it immediately. It was his Seven-colored Soft Scales.

He looked at it, and it was untouched.

Holding the Seven-colored Soft Scales in his hands, which felt cool, seemed to dispel much of the surrounding heat, making his nose and throat feel much more comfortable.

Xiao Zhan really wanted to wear it right then but thought it would be impolite and decided against it.

He would just endure a little longer.

At that moment, the old woman also stood up from her spot. She was not tall, even a head shorter than Huo Liuli, and her back was hunched, making her appear even shorter.

She turned around, and her face was just as Xiao Zhan had guessed, wrinkled and showing signs of aged withered yellow complexions.

But her eyes were exceptionally bright, as if they could directly pierce into one’s heart.

"Your name is Xiao Zhan?"

The old woman asked knowingly.

Her voice sounded surprisingly youthful, not matching her aged appearance.

"Yes."

"Mmm."

The old woman nodded, "I am the Clan Leader of the Earthfire Tribe, my name is Huo Lingjun."

"Clan Leader of the Fire, hello, thank you very much for your assistance in rescuing us."

"No need to thank me, you should thank Liuli. Of course, you should also thank yourself, we do not just rescue anyone."

"What do you mean by that?"

It’s right to thank Huo Liuli.

But why thank myself?

Is there something special about me?

Huo Lingjun explained, "It’s the Fire Attribute Energy on you that saved you. If you didn’t have the Fire Attribute, rather than letting you live, we would have killed you."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan’s heart chilled for a moment.

He originally thought he had encountered kind-hearted people, but it turned out there was a reason behind it.

Just as he thought, there aren’t so many gratuitous good people in this world.

Thinking everyone was like Ye Youlong, who not only gives SSS talent but also sincerity, and crucially, even gives her body.

"Is there something special about this Fire Attribute of mine?" Xiao Zhan asked.

"Nothing special, just because you possess the Fire Attribute Energy."

Seeing Xiao Zhan still puzzled, Huo Lingjun added, "Our Earthfire Tribe is a tribe born after a mutation, and in our tribe, we only allow people with the Fire Attribute to enter. Outsiders with the Fire Attribute can be considered as friends."

"If you didn’t have the Fire Attribute but merely the pure Death Attribute, then I would have sent you to experience true death."

Hearing such an explanation, Xiao Zhan understood.

This is a tribe with a certain cleanliness obsession, similar to Ye Youlong, except one is obsessed with cleanliness in women, the other in various Energy Attributes.

However, clearly this tribe is a bit more inclusive, at least it allows people with other attributes to enter.

In this respect, Ye Youlong could indeed learn more from the tribe.

But speaking of which, Xiao Zhan really owes thanks to Zhu Rong this time.

If it weren’t for him giving his own Dark Fire Heavenly Origin, Xiao Zhan would have probably really been done for.

In this case, he could only say he was really lucky.

"You all can rest well during this time. We will treat Spirit Masters with the Fire Attribute as guests. As for that group chasing you, don’t worry for now, they can’t find this place."

A group?

Xiao Zhan keenly caught this term.

Before, there were only Huang Jun and Huang Fei.

"Are you saying there are many people outside hunting me?" Xiao Zhan asked for confirmation.

"Yes, they are all military personnel."

Huo Lingjun didn’t ask Xiao Zhan’s identity, just as she said, Xiao Zhan is a guest.

Since he is a guest, there’s no need to ask too much.

Seeing her attitude, Xiao Zhan was very grateful to her.

Although it’s true they saved him because of the energy of the Fire Attribute, the help after the rescue was undeniably genuine and sincere.

This grace, should be remembered.

"Thank you, Clan Leader."

Xiao Zhan bowed, earnestly speaking.

"No need, this is the longstanding principle of our Earthfire Tribe."

Huo Lingjun lifted her hand, then took another look at Xiao Zhan and said, "Looking at you, you must have absorbed quite a lot of Fire Element these past few days."

"Take this opportunity to absorb more. The Fire Element here is the purest of Fire Elements, without any mixture of other attributes. Anyone with the Fire Attribute can absorb it without any effects."
