Chapter 1041: 476: Barbarian Tribes! The beginning of a hegemony!

As the saying goes, distance can be deceiving whether it’s mountains you’re gazing at or the vast ocean.

From the surface of the sea, the coast ahead appears close, but when you actually swim, it’s really very far away.

At least dozens of miles away!

Suo Lun hadn’t replenished his energy for several months, surviving only on fish caught in the sea to stave off his hunger.

Therefore, after swimming dozens of miles, he felt completely drained of strength and energy.

After reaching the coastline, Suo Lun lay motionless on the soft sandy beach.

The beach here is incredibly beautiful, almost white and extremely fine, with scarcely any footprints on it.

Clearly, this is the edge of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, and few people ever approach it.

Energy must be replenished quickly, otherwise the Bloodline Energy will continue to degrade.

Suo Lun struggled to stand up and began to venture deep into the continent!

After the beach, Suo Lun felt a sense of astonishment.

According to his geographical knowledge, this area should be in the warm temperate zone, and being close to the sea, with plentiful rainfall, should have vast forests.

But the reality was different...

It turned out to be a barren and desolate land.

The land as far as the eye could see was pocked with scars, and massive fissures were everywhere.

Moreover, the ground was not very soiled; instead, there were large areas of rock, presenting a strange red hue.

This land seemed as if it had been torn apart, scarred and marred.

Suo Lun kept venturing deeper and deeper, heading westward, never encountering a single tree, nor any signs of life—only the desolate torn earth and vast expanses of rocks, with fissures and ravines everywhere.

While at sea, he could catch fish to alleviate his hunger.

But on this barren and torn land, there was nothing, and Suo Lun was growing increasingly hungry.

Before the Demonization, Suo Lun rarely felt hunger, but now his body seemed like a bottomless pit, with a tremendous need for energy.

The stronger the hunger, the more his body began to absorb the energy from his Bloodline to sustain his energetic needs.

Thus, Suo Lun distinctly felt his martial prowess degrading.

He must feed on blood quickly and find living beings to quench his hunger.

Suo Lun quickened his pace, sprinting at high speed.

After venturing more than a hundred miles inland, he finally began to see hints of green.

Some tough mosses and shrubs clung to the ground, and occasionally he came across living creatures, although mostly rats.

Not to mention they were hard to swallow, they were also too small.

As Suo Lun delved deeper, the green vegetation became more abundant, and he gradually began to see trees as well.

Yet, he still hadn’t encountered a single trace of human activity, be it from the Barbarian Tribes or the Demon Clan People.

By this time, Suo Lun had been traversing deep into the Barbaric Wilderness Continent for a full day and night, still unable to find anything to eat, reaching the pinnacle of his hunger.

So hungry he was dizzy and his inside churned restlessly.

It was at this moment, Suo Lun suddenly heard a wolf’s howl.

Immediately, a surge of ecstasy overcame him!

Ordinarily, such a howl would be terrifying, but in Suo Lun’s ears, it sounded like the most beautiful music, for it signified a meal was near.

Instantly, Suo Lun dashed frantically towards the direction of the howling.

He was roughly three or four miles away from the sound.

As he approached the direction of the howling, he soon heard the sound of flowing water; there was a small river nearby.

He was fast, and in just a few minutes, he was very close to the wolves, just three hundred meters away, just beyond a pile of giant rocks.

Suo Lun held his breath, reducing the sound of his steps, and sneakily moved closer.

Then, he not only heard the wolf howls but also the crying of a child.

Someone?!

Suo Lun reached the riverside, taking cover behind a large boulder.

He saw them, three wolves!

The wolves here weren’t as big as those on the deserted island, and they were much skinnier. Yet the bloodthirst and greed in their eyes were even more terrifying.

The three hungry wolves formed a triangle, surrounding an area in which a little girl sat, a delicate and lovely little girl.

This little girl seemed to be only about three or four years old, seated between two corpses.

The corpses, one male and one female, were handsome and stunningly beautiful, respectively. Their beauty was such that it even surpassed that of Gui Qinshao.

However, this man and woman must have been dead for some time, as lividity had set in.

Both were covered in wounds, and the man in particular had more than a dozen arrows sticking out of his back.

In their dying moments, they had desperately tried to protect their child, their bodies curved into a circle, shielding the child in the middle.

What shocked Suo Lun was that these two looked no different from humans, with the only discernible trait being their very pointed ears.

The little girl, with a dirty face, still revealed her stunningly pretty and delicate features.

Especially her large eyes, pure and shining like two gems.

Similarly, aside from pointed ears, this little girl didn’t differ much from a normal human child.

If there had to be a difference, her doll-like face was something not easily matched by human children.

The little girl was barefoot, with chubby little feet.

Suo Lun found another distinction between her and human children—there was a tuft of snow-white fluff at her ankles, exceedingly adorable.

The little girl must have been hungry for a long time, her cries now weak and feeble.
