Chapter 1216: Savage Wild Eight Races
As soon as Han Xin said this, the beastkin cultivators behind the red-faced middle-aged man were at ease slightly, but they still looked at Liu Ming and Qian Rupin with vigilance.
The red-faced middle-aged man’s eyes swept over Qian Rupin and then Liu Ming. He was shocked when he sensed Liu Ming’s cultivation.
“It turns out to be Mr. Liu. I’m the patriarch of the Sunset Tribe, Han Ye. Thank you for saving my son’s life. Please come into the hall to speak.” Liu Ming’s aura was faintly visible, so the red-faced middle-aged man immediately knew that the other party must also be a Real Pellet State cultivator, and his cultivation was far above his own. He immediately invited him in.
“You’re welcome, patriarch.” Liu Ming nodded and calmly led Qian Rupin into the hall.
“The matter of beastkin tide will be discussed later. You all should step back first.” Han Ye turned around and said something to the other Crystallization Period beastkin cultivator, then he entered the hall with Han Xin.
Above the main hall, Sunset Tribe Patriarch Han Ye and Liu Ming sat face to face on the 2 main seats in the middle while Han Xin and Qian Rupin were beside them.
“This time, I really want to thank Mr. Liu for helping, otherwise I might really lose my son.” Han Ye turned to look at Han Xin, who was still pale, and thanked Liu Ming again.
“It’s nothing. Patriarch doesn’t need to worry about it. However, during the journey here, I have found that there are a lot of beastkins in the valley and they migrate frequently. They seem to gather in certain places. Can you tell me about it?” Liu Ming waved his hand and said.
“It seems that the beastkin tide is not far away. Xin’er, please tell me about your investigation.” Han Ye’s complexion changed slightly. Instead of answering Liu Ming’s question immediately, he asked Han Xin.
“As Senior Liu said, the number of beastkins in the Sky Rift Valley this time seems to be larger than ever before. According to what we know, there should be several Real Pellet State beastkin kings…” Han Xin then told Han Ye about the situation of this expedition.
Han Ye frowned. Qian Rupin at the side also showed surprise, but Liu Ming remained calm.
“In order to obtain more information, we went deep into the valley near the Cloud Dragon River, but in the end, we were accidentally attacked by a nest of demonic racc.o.o.n beastkins, and several members of our tribe were injured and died on the spot. We ran all the way, but we encountered numerous enemies on the way. When we fought our way to the valley entrance, only Elder Mo He and Elder Luo Gu are left. However, we were all severely injured, and we were surrounded by a dozen of beastkins…” Han Xin paused and recounted the scenes of being ambushed afterward.
“In the past, there was only one Real Pellet State beastkin king in every beastkin tide. At most, there were only 2. According to past experience, each beastkin king can at least gather a beastkin tide of the scale of no less than ten thousand beastkins. According to your expedition, if several beastkin kings attack our tribe at the same time, it will be a huge catastrophe for our tribe. Xin’er, you go and notify the elders to come here to discuss the countermeasures later.” Han Ye solemnly gave an order after hearing this.
“Yes.” Hearing the words, Han Xin responded and walked out of the hall.
“Our tribe happens to encounter the beastkin tide incident. Sorry if it bothers Mr. Liu. By the way, the 2 of you are dressed strangely and coupled with your human ident.i.ty, you shouldn’t be from this continent, right?” Han Ye greeted Liu Ming and changed the topic.
“Patriarch is keen. I’m indeed from the Middle Sky Continent. We accidentally encountered a s.p.a.ce fissure and got stranded here.” Liu Ming was startled at first, then he replied half-truthfully.
“It turns out to be a distinguished guest from the Middle Sky Continent. I have heard that the human race is prosperous in the Middle Sky Continent. I never have the chance to step out of this Savage Wild Continent and see it myself. You don’t have to worry. Although there are many tribes that are hostile toward the humans in the Savage Wild Continent, there are some tribes that have a neutral stance toward the human race.” Han Ye said with a laugh.
“If that’s the case, I’m at ease. By the way, I just heard Han Xin say on the way that the Savage Wild Continent also has humans, can you tell me where it is? Besides, is there a way to return to the Middle Sky Continent from the Savage Wild Continent?” Liu Ming felt a little relieved when he heard this, then he asked.
“The Sky Rift Valley is located in the extreme west of the Savage Wild Continent. As far as I know, the human cultivators seem to be on the other side of the continent. As for the specific route, I have roughly heard it before, but I don’t know the details.” Hearing this, Han Ye shook his head and said.
“Since that’s the case, we won’t bother you anymore. We will leave right away.” After hearing this, Liu Ming stood up and cupped his fist at Han Ye.
“Wait a minute, the 2 of you probably want to return to the Middle Sky Continent right? I remember that there is an elder in our clan who has had contact with the human race. He may know how to return to the Middle Sky Continent.” After a flash of eyes, Han Ye suddenly stopped Liu Ming.
“Oh? May I know where that elder is now?” Liu Ming asked with a raised eyebrow.
“It’s a coincidence that he is going out on a mission at the moment. He should return to the tribe soon. Why don’t you stay here for a few days, so that I can show my kindness as a patriarch.” Han Ye suggested with a smile.
“If that’s the case, then I will accept it with grat.i.tude.” Liu Ming pondered for a moment, then agreed.
In the following time, Han Ye chatted casually with Liu Ming about the Savage Wild Continent.
After a while, Han Xin returned to the main hall, then he immediately took Liu Ming and Qian Rupin to their residence.
On the way, Liu Ming asked Han Xin if there were any books about Savage Wild Continent here.
Han Xin was quite forthright. He immediately took Liu Ming and Qian Rupin to the place where the books were stored and selected a few books from them.
Half an hour later, under the lead of Han Xin, Liu Ming and Qian Rupin came to a stone house in the tribe that received the guests.
The furnishings in the house were relatively simple, but it was quite s.p.a.cious. There were several secret rooms inside.
Qian Rupin looked at some weird runes carved on the wall with a pensive look.
“Ruping, what are these?” Liu Ming walked over.
“Brother Ming, I guess these should be beastkin clan’s enchantment rune. I saw quite a few in the main hall and outside just now. They should be used to stabilize the house.” Qian Rupin looked over after hearing the words.
“I see that you are quite interested in the enchantments of this place, but we don’t know much about the Sunset Tribe right now, so we should be more careful for the time being. Don’t wander around in the valley.” Liu Ming warned her.
Qian Rupin nodded upon hearing that.
Only then did Liu Ming feel relieved. He walked into a secret room inside and read the few books.
The next morning, Liu Ming raised his head from a thick book and breathed a sigh of relief.
From these few books, he finally had a general understanding of some basic information about the entire Savage Wild Continent.
The area of the Savage Wild Continent was extremely vast. Judging from the description in the book, the area was no less than that of the Middle Sky Continent and the deepest underworld.
In the Savage Wild Continent, they did not use sects and cities as their settlements like the human race, but they all gathered in tribes.
Small tribes only have had of thousands of people, just like the Sunset tribe while large tribes had thousands of miles of power and hundreds of thousands or even millions of people in the tribe.
The largest tribes in the Savage Wild Continent are called the Savage Wild Eight Races. The eight major tribes are Blood Vine, Sky Fox, Green Snake, Thunder Crane, Shadow Wolf, Silver Tiger, Savage Bear, and Fissure Eagle.
In the upper realm ruins back then, Liu Ming heard Lan Si from the Blue Wood Race talked about the Savage Wild Continent. He had also seen beastkins of the Shadow Wolf Race, Silver Tiger Race, Savage Bear Race, and Fissure Eagle Race.
Thinking of this, Liu Ming couldn’t help but think of Yao Ji. This nine tail fox girl, who had a fusion experience with him, had a very high level of cultivation. She was able to enter the upper realm ruins, so her ident.i.ty must not be simple. If Liu Ming guessed it right, she should be one of the Sky Fox Race.
As for the 3 races of Blood Vine Race, Green Snake Race, and Thunder Crane Race, he had no contact with them. But according to the records in the books, the Blood Vine Race that ranked first among the 8 races turned out to be a plant beastkin, which surprised Liu Ming.
Each of the 8 major races had its own forces, occupying the best spiritual treasure land in the Savage Wild Continent and confronting each other. The other small and medium races either became the va.s.sal races of the 8 major races or lived in some remote places.
In these books, apart from the various beastkin races of the Savage Wild Continent, Liu Ming also accidentally saw some records about human cultivators.
Not only the human race, there were also some other races in some remote corners of the Savage Wild Continent, but the records were not very detailed. It was just some sporadic information.
Liu Ming stood up, walked around the room for a few steps, and suddenly stood still.
From the map that Han Xin gave him, he learned that there was a city called Black Water more than 10,000 miles away from the Sunset Tribe. It was a place where various races traded. If he went there, he should get more detailed information.
With this in mind, Liu Ming stopped hesitating and walked outside.
Just as he walked into the living room, a huge roar came from outside the house. The whole room suddenly trembled, then the rumbling sound continued to come. It was also mixed with the screams of the Sunset Tribe’s beastkin cultivators.
“What’s wrong?” Qian Rupin came out from another room and looked uneasy.
“It’s fine. Let’s go out and have a look.” Liu Ming patted Qian Rupin’s shoulder, then he flew into midair together with her.
The situation outside stunned the 2 of them. Looking from a distance, they saw a huge wave of wolf-shaped beastkins attacking the city walls at the entrance of the valley.
In addition, there were dozens of large green flying snakes in the sky. They had wide wings and a pair of sharp claws. They constantly swooped down and attacked.
The stone house where Liu Ming and Qian Rupin stayed was located deep in the valley, so it was not affected for a while.
The Sunset Tribe was obviously unprepared for these beastkin attacks. From time to time, someone was injured by the flying snake’s claws.
The entire Sunset Tribe was full of terrified cries. Some old and weak women and children hurriedly hid in the buildings.
Fortunately, the buildings in the valley were all reinforced with beastkin enchantment. These flying snakes couldn’t do anything for a while.
