"Elders, can you listen to me?" Ji Dong's voice traveled far and rang in the ears of every Forest Demon like a huge bell.
Chief Elder Odom raised his hand and stopped the approaching Forest Demons. He said in a deep voice, "Sir, please speak."
Ji Dong smiled indifferently and said, "I can understand your concerns, and I also understand your hatred towards humans. However, as I've said before, not all humans are bad. Flaming Bar and I are passing by your place, and our destination is the Middle Earth Empire. We've long heard of the famous Source of Life, and we're passing by the Forest of Life to buy some to try."
Just as he said that, the muscular Forest Demon Elder Garso interrupted, "As I expected, you're here for the Source of Life."
Ji Dong's gaze suddenly turned cold, and he glanced at him indifferently. Garso only felt as if two cold bolts of lightning had pierced his eyes. His body trembled, and his face turned pale. He couldn't say a word.
Ji Dong placed his hands behind his back and puffed out his chest. He said proudly, "Before we entered the Forest of Life, we saw the people from the Golden Eagle Merchant Association, but we didn't know their goal. Later, when we discovered that they were slaughtering the Forest Demons, we came to Elder Tarm's aid. I don't want to explain too much about your suspicions, but you're just making wild guesses. If you don't believe me, we can leave. However, if you obstruct us and are prepared to use force against us, it's just a joke to me. How are you Forest Demons compared to the Golden Eagle Merchant Association's team of Magicians? Even the Golden Eagle Merchant Association's team of Seven Crowns Heavenly Masters and ten Six Crowns Heavenly Warriors couldn't resist me. Can you Forest Demons stop me? I don't want to kill innocent people. Elder Odom, please get your people to open a path for us to leave. "
At this point, Ji Dong's eyes suddenly lit up, like two dazzling stars suddenly blooming. Black and white light instantly rose from his body, condensing into the unique black and white Yin Yang Crown above his head. A huge aura rose like an explosion, and the aura of the six crowns instantly bloomed.
Two flames, one black and one gold, rose from his body at the same time. They soared up to a hundred feet and blossomed like two walls of fire. This was the first time Ji Dong had unscrupulously released his powerful mana after leaving the core world. The lawn that was originally brimming with the aura of life was instantly engulfed by blazing and violent fire elements. The tyrannical elemental suppression instantly spread to every corner of the lawn.
Be it the approaching Great Forest Monsters or the elders of the various Forest Monster tribes, they all felt suffocated by the terrifying attribute suppression.
Ji Dong's eyes flickered with a dazzling light. He said indifferently, "The life and death of the Forest Demon Tribe has nothing to do with me. What you want to do is your own business. Make way." His good intentions had been treated as a conspiracy. Even if he could understand the Forest Demons' hatred towards humans, it did not mean that he would continue to help these Forest Demons who repaid kindness with ingratitude.
Garso had already recovered at this moment, and shouted, "Don't be afraid of him. He's only one person, and we cannot let him leave this place. Otherwise, he will definitely collude with those Chambers of Commerce to deal with us. Garso was the ferocious leader of the Great Forest Demons. Upon hearing his words, over a hundred Great Forest Demons gathered their mana with great difficulty and approached Hyōhime again.
An intense hostility flashed through Ji Dong's eyes, and he said, "Do you really think that I won't kill?" He released the aura of the tyrant, and the two extreme flames behind him instantly erupted, transforming into the forms of two Great Kings that were ten meters tall. The intense killing intent mixed with the attribute suppression made the Great Forest Demons unable to take another step forward.
The strongest among the Forest Demons was only an ordinary Six Crown Demon Master, and they did not even have a magical beast as a companion. Faced with Ji Dong's extreme dual fire elemental suppression, they could not even unleash 40% of their strength. They looked at the existence that was like a demon god in shock, and fear flowed from the bottom of their hearts.
"Ji Dong." The Flaming Bar raised her hand and grabbed Ji Dong's arm. Even though she could not use her mana, the flames on Ji Dong's body would not harm her at all. Ji Dong turned to look at the Flaming Bar, and saw that the Flaming Bar was shaking her head gently at him. Looking at her, the killing intent in Ji Dong's heart gradually subsided. He took a deep breath, calmed his anger, and let out a long howl towards the sky. Then, a scene that the Forest Demons would never forget appeared.
Six golden and six black, twelve beams of light suddenly burst out from the strange black and white Yin Yang Crown on Ji Dong's head. These twelve beams of light expanded rapidly in the air, and within a blink of an eye, transformed into six gigantic fiery dragons and six dark-blue flying serpents.
The dragons and serpents that Ji Dong had released were completely different from before. Each of the fire dragons seemed to have a physical body, and even the patterns on their scales could be seen clearly. The violent golden fire dragons and the dark black flying serpents instantly filled the entire sky, leaving only these two colors of light on the large lawn. The fire elements that covered the sky were filled with an endless aura of destruction. As they appeared, the two Great Kings behind Ji Dong turned into light shadows and merged into a black and white Yin Yang Fish that was five meters in diameter.
If it was attribute suppression before, then the massive mana released by Ji Dong had completely solidified the air on the lawn. Every Forest Monster had difficulty breathing, let alone moving.
The power of six dragons and six serpents was not as simple as four plus two equals six. The current Ji Dong could almost truly control the enormous power of the six dragons and six serpents. Although he should not have been able to do all this with his current mana, he had reached the level of a powerhouse on the spiritual level with the help of the successful cultivation of the Soul Fire.
If the Great Forest Goblins still had a sliver of hope in their hearts, they were now overwhelmed with fear when they saw the overwhelming power of the six dragons and six snakes. That was a power that they could not imagine. Even though Ji Dong did not release any magic skills, the terrifying magic that surged in the air and the pure attribute suppression told them how powerful the human youth in front of them was.
Just like what Ji Dong had said before, it was a joke for them to keep Ji Dong and the Flaming Bar here.
Gaso had long since widened his eyes in shock, and his body was trembling in fear. The huge Yin Yang fish spinning behind Ji Dong's back seemed to have an infinite attraction force that was about to suck in all the Forest Demons' souls. The six dragons and six snakes lined up in the air, and as long as Ji Dong gave the order, they would form a terrifying force that was enough to destroy the heavens and the earth and engulf all the Forest Demons here. The advantage of numbers was completely meaningless in the face of absolute power. Ji Dong was still the same Ji Dong, but at this moment, the Forest Demon elders could fully sense that his eyes were filled with the aura of a monarch that ruled over the world, and they could only feel subservience in their hearts.
After being enraged by the Forest Monsters several times, Ji Dong had already planned to take action. The Forest Monsters' repaying kindness with enmity had angered him. If it was not for the Flaming Bar, he would have attacked the Forest Monsters by now.
Ji Dong would never go against the Flaming Bar's wishes, so he suppressed his anger and released the power of six dragons and six serpents to intimidate the Forest Monsters.
Looking at the pale Forest Demons, he raised his hands at the same time and made a grabbing motion in the air. The Fire Dragons and Winged Serpents were pulled back one after another and merged back into the black and white Yin Yang Crown on his head. The current him was no longer as strong as before. His powerful control allowed him to almost completely recover the Mana that he had released but hadn't launched an attack.
When the last flying serpent returned to the Yin Yang Crown, the frozen air regained its vitality, and the aura of life in the Forest of Life began to fill the air again. However, the atmosphere on the lawn where the Forest Monster elders were discussing matters was different. Every Forest Monster elder looked at Ji Dong, and was speechless. No matter how much they hated humans, they knew that Ji Dong had no ill intentions towards them. Otherwise, the Mana that he had released would have been enough to wipe out all the Forest Monster elites in the area. Why would he need to trick them? In the face of absolute power, all tricks were useless.
Holding the Flaming Bar's hand, Ji Dong said plainly, "Let's go." With that, he turned around and walked towards the Forest of Life with the Flaming Bar.
The Forest Monsters made way for Ji Dong and the Flaming Bar. They did not even dare to breathe loudly, as they were afraid of angering this demonic god-like man in front of them.
"Mister Ji Dong, please wait!" Elder Odom called out in a hurry.
Ji Dong stopped in his tracks, but he did not even turn around. He said plainly, "Why? Are you planning to keep us here, elder? " It was a simple sentence, but it was filled with cold murderous intent when it came out of Ji Dong's mouth. No one doubted that if the Forest Monster Tribe dared to provoke him again, he would start a merciless massacre.
With a plop, Odom fell to his knees and kowtowed to Ji Dong. As he knelt, the Forest Monster elders behind him also knelt and prostrated themselves on the ground.
"Mister Ji Dong, we were wrong. The sinister and ruthless human beings have caused us to lose the word 'trust' in our hearts. Not only did we not thank you for saving the Tamu Tribe, but we even treated you as an enemy. All of this is my responsibility as the Great Elder. I am willing to bear all the blame, I only ask that you stay."
As he spoke, the Great Elder of the Forest Demon Tribe drew a dagger out of nowhere and plunged it into his own heart.
"Great Elder, you can't." Garso grabbed the Great Elder's wrist and said urgently, "Great Elder, you can't.
"Great Elder, you can't do that. You are the backbone of the Forest Demon tribe. Without you, who can lead us to fight against the foreign enemies? Even if there is a mistake, it is my fault. If I must die, let me die."
"Shut up!" Great Elder Odom shouted sternly. Although he was not as strong as Garso, the Great Forest Monster Commander, no one could compare to him in terms of status and influence among the tribe. Odom shook his wrist and forcefully broke free from Garso's grip.
Odom shook his wrist and forcefully broke free from Garso's restraints. He slowly stood up and looked at the elders behind him. "I am the leader of the Forest Goblin Tribe and your Grand Elder. The Forest Goblin Tribe has failed to live up to our benefactor, and everything was agreed upon by me. None of you have the right to fight with me over this crime, and none of you have the qualifications to do so. Now, I will give you my final order as the Grand Elder. After my death, Tahm will take over the position of Grand Elder. No matter what, you must keep our benefactor alive and do everything according to his instructions. For the continuation of our Forest Goblin Tribe, we will move out of the Forest of Life. At the same time, everything that our Forest Goblin Tribe possesses will be given to our benefactor if he has any needs."
"Great Elder …" The Forest Monster elders knelt on the ground and cried out in sorrow. Odom looked at Hyōhime and the Flaming Bar's back. He clenched his teeth and stabbed the sharp blade in his hand towards his heart. He was filled with determination.
After recognizing that Ji Dong was sincere in helping them, the Great Elder made the wisest decision. He knew that it was impossible for Ji Dong to forgive them with words alone. Since Ji Dong had promised to help the Forest Monster Tribe, it proved that he was sincere. He wanted to use his death to redeem the prejudice that Ji Dong and the Flaming Bar had against the Forest Monster Tribe. Then, he would promote Tamu, who had the best relationship with Ji Dong and the Flaming Bar, to the position of Great Elder. Only then would he be able to get Ji Dong's help.
The strength that Ji Dong had displayed previously was unimaginable to any Forest Monster. Odom could not be sure if Ji Dong could lead the Forest Monster Tribe out of this crisis. However, he was sure that if he let go of this opportunity, the Forest Monster Tribe might really disappear from the stage of history in the near future. He had no other choice but to take the gamble.
A small fireball collided with the dagger, and in the next moment, the sharp dagger had already turned into molten iron and dripped onto the ground. The scorching heat caused the Great Elder to subconsciously loosen his grip and cry out in pain.
Ji Dong pulled the Flaming Bar and slowly turned around. He said calmly, "I'll give you seven days to organize the tribe. Try to pack as little as possible and only bring the things that you need the most. We'll depart in seven days."
After saying that, Ji Dong led the Flaming Bar forward again, but in the direction they came from.
Looking at Ji Dong's back, Elder Odom sat on the ground with a thud. Tears streamed down his face as he said, "The Forest Monster Tribe can finally be saved. He was right. Humans are not all sinister and ruthless. There are good people too!"
The group of elders hurried forward to help Odom up. Garso asked hesitantly, "Elder, what should we do? Can he really help us? "
Odom said in a deep voice, "You've heard what our benefactor said. Seven days. We only have seven days. Return to your tribes now and pack your things. I don't know if he can bring new life to the Forest Monster Tribe, but I'm sure that he's a human who is truly willing to help us."
