"Quack!" Man Man let go of the fire dragon cane and sat on the ground while gasping quickly. Her face was covered in sweat.
She popped out her eyes, looking at those fleeing dragon warriors and yelled in surprise, "Are they running? So strange, they haven't been hit by hammers yet, why are they running? We have dragons in the Southern Wasteland too, much more daring than them! "
Ji Hao also looked at those fleeing dragons, pondered for a while, then glanced at the Chi Ban Market and said, "That's a good thing. It's never good to start a feud with the dragon-kind. After all, the dragon-kind can be our helpers when we fight against the non-humankind. "
Although this helper wasn't reliable, quite a few times during the wars between the humankind and the non-humankind, the dragon-kind had sent out their armies and helped the humankind fend off the flood-like attacks launched by the Yu Dynasty. Eventually, the humankind had established a foundation in the Pu Ban City.
Even now, most of the time, as long as the humankind could pay a certain price, the dragon-kind would be more than happy to send out a small elite force to help the humankind fight against the Yu Clan's armies.
Therefore, Ji Hao couldn't offend the dragon-kind too much. After all, the two sides didn't have a life-and-death feud. The dragon-kind seemed to have no other major shortcomings, except for being too greedy, lustful, domineering and unreasonable.
Ji Hao walked up to the old tree, pulled out the Flame Dragon Sword and slightly wielded it. Along with a sizzling noise, the giant net made from dragon tendons shattered. The old tree swayed his enormous body and stood up, looking at the corpses all over the ground, seeming to not know what to do.
Yu Clan's, Jia Clan's, human race's, spirit creatures … within a quarter of an hour, four to five thousand corpses were left on the ground. All of them were at or above the Senior Magus level, and many of them were only a step away from the Magus King level.
However, after a series of brutal killing, the old tree and the leopard, who were their targets, remained perfectly unharmed, while these aggressive creatures fell one after another in this place. Such a cruel and cruel scene made the old tree, who had been living in a deep valley all his life, a bit confused.
"Big guy!" Ji Hao patted the old tree's toe, raised his head, looked at him and said, "You've already shown your face, you're different from your kind. Their main bodies were either big pine trees, big cypress trees, or small leaf banyan trees, which were common tree species. But you, you're a purple-grain dragon sandalwood. "
"Even a stalk of Purple Grain Dragon Sandalwood without sentience is enough to make people fight over it until their heads bleed. Now that you've gained intelligence, you know the cultivation method, and your tree sap and fruits are even more powerful. Anyone who knows of your existence will never let you go. The Chi Ban Mountain is so huge, there's not enough room for you. "
Ji Hao honestly told the old treeman that in this vast Chi Ban Mountain area, there was indeed no place for them to stay.
No matter whether it was the non-humankind or the other forces in the Chi Ban Market, as long as they knew about the existence of the old tree man, they would all see him as the most precious prey and hunt him down. As Ji Hao said back in the Red Wood Palace, unless the old tree became an invincible powerful being himself, he would never be able to control his own destiny.
"I …" The old tree man remained silent for a while, then reached a branch towards Ji Hao and said, "I'll go with you, my friend!"
"Friends!" Ji Hao grinned, thinking of his few friends back in the Southern Wasteland jungle. Grabbing the old tree man's branch and shaking it, Ji Hao grinned and said, "Let's go then. Otherwise, people from the Chi Ban Market will come after us again."
With rumbling steps, the old tree man carried Ji Hao and the others on his shoulder, then ran towards the base camp of the allied human army with big steps.
Treemen didn't run too fast. Although they were gigantic in size, they indeed didn't have any talent in running. Ji Hao sat on the old tree man's treetop, locked his fingers together and released a gust of wind, which was wrapped in a faint watery cloud and carried the old tree man up, making his body tens of times lighter than before. Now, his running speed could barely match that of ordinary Senior Magi.
His body became lighter, and the advantages of the old tree man's gigantic body could be clearly seen. He could climb up a ten-mile tall mountain with a single step, and he could easily jump over a wide cliff from the top of a mountain with a single step. No matter if it was a great river or a great river, he could easily cross it with a single step.
Following a perfectly straight route, the old tree man led the group of people across the mountains and quickly reached the outside of the base camp of the human army.
When they were still tens of miles away from the base camp, a troop of human warriors mounted on enormous eagles had already been following Ji Hao and the others from a long distance away. Below them, three elite troops of scouts had been moving around, encircling the old tree man, Ji Hao and the others in the middle.
When they were less than ten miles away from the base camp, a troop of Thunder Luster Clan cavalrymen had already lined up in a straight line and blocked their way. Lightning bolts flashed across the air, along with thunderous roars that reached straight into the sky. Thunder Luster Clan warriors pulled out their enormous spears one after another and aimed at the old tree man, who had been running all the way.
Wulong Yao trod on the air, floated above the heads of these Thunder Luster Clan warriors, grinned and waved his hands, and said, "Don't be nervous, just go, go. This kid, where did he get such a … Oh my ancestors' souls! "
Wulong Yao, who had been calm and composed just now, suddenly popped his eyes out, from which, a dim green light spurted out from his eyeballs and said, "Purple grain dragon sandalwood? A spirit creature purple grain dragon sandalwood? Concocting his sap and fruits into 'soul-strengthening pills', the phoenix-kind will go crazy! "
The dragon-kind were greedy, while the phoenix-kind had a lot of treasures.
There was another saying that the phoenix-kind would never land in a place with no treasures. Clearly, the phoenix-kind were as good as the dragon-kind in looting. Therefore, the phoenix-kind were extraordinarily rich, and even a grass thrown out by them would be an extremely precious treasure to the humankind.
The dragon-kind didn't have any obvious shortcomings, but the phoenix-kind were crazy about soul-strengthening and soul-strengthening treasures. The 'soul-strengthening pill' was a magical medicine that originated from the phoenix-kind. For soul-strengthening pills, the phoenix-kind were willing to pay a great price.
The only main ingredient of the soul-strengthening pill was the 'dragon sandalwood soul incense', which was made from the sap of purple grain dragon sandalwood mixed with fruits.
Ji Hao took his people and sneaked out of the campsite. Not long after that, he brought back a purple grain dragon sandalwood, which had cultivated itself into a spirit creature. If Wulong Yao didn't care about his status and dignity, he would have been dancing in joy and singing out loud long ago.
Ji Hao leapt down from the old tree man's head, cupped his hands and deeply bowed to Wulong Yao and said, "Elder Wulong, this is a friend I just met. Someone tried to kidnap him, but I saved him. The Magi Palace, can you give him an identity? "
In the Magi Palace of the humankind, quite a number of non-humankind beings had been serving in it as well, and many of them had been enjoying the treatment equal to that of elders. Ji Hao was well aware of this.
"Of course!" Wulong Yao gave a big grin, even squeezing his eyes into a pair of curved lines. He pressed his hand on Ji Hao's shoulder, looked at the old tree man with a big grin and said, "This friend … hm, are you willing to work in our Magi Palace and be treated as a Magi Master?"
Magi Master didn't have any real power in the Magi Palace, but he was treated as an elder, and was protected by the Magi Palace unconditionally.
Ji Hao immediately agreed on behalf of the old tree man.
