The gathering place was the abbreviation for the gathering place of the Human Clan, the Red Horn Clan, the Dwarf Clan, and the Spirit Hoof Clan. The people who lived in these abbreviated gathering places were the four clans that were fighting against the Black Horn Clan's rule.
According to Baretu, the Black Horn King of the Black Horn Clan was currently in seclusion, while his sons were fighting among themselves, fighting for their own interests and the right to inherit the throne.
This situation was deliberately created by the Black Horn King himself. He hoped that his sons would use their own strength and methods to determine the victor. Only the most outstanding victor would have the right to inherit his throne.
He made his sons fight among themselves, then let the survivor of the bloody fight become the successor. This kind of method made Lin Qian shake his head repeatedly when he heard it.
If he treated his own sons this way, then one could imagine what kind of situation the Human Clan, the Red Horn Clan, the Dwarf Clan, and the Spirit Hoof Clan were facing.
"We are now taking advantage of this chaos to conceal our strength and bide our time." Baretu stood beside Lin Qian and looked down at the gathering place. He explained to Lin Qian, "After the Black Horn King's sons fight, the Black Horn Kingdom's power will definitely be depleted. What we need to do now is to work hard to develop ourselves so that we will have the right to compete with them in the future."
"Don't tell me that the Black Horn Clan doesn't know about your existence?" Lin Qian asked Baretu curiously after listening.
Baretu nodded and continued to explain to Lin Qian, "In reality, they know. However, they only know the strength that we want them to know. They have always thought that our strength is very weak.
"In reality, a few of our elders are working together in seclusion. Once they successfully break through, dealing with the Black Horn King will not be a problem. In order to not attract their attention, all of our actions have been very low-key. Hence, we have never thought of establishing a nation.
"When our strength is strong enough, it will be enough for us to have a land where we can live well." As he said this, Baretu's eyes were filled with hope.
Following this, Liu Fang, who was at the side, also said, "We only need to not be oppressed or enslaved. We just need to be able to live with dignity. It will be fine as long as there is no inequality among the various clans.
"The human race has already won everyone's respect and approval through their own efforts." After Liu Fang finished speaking, the strongest member of the Spirit Hoof Race patted him on the shoulder and smiled.
Lin Qian also took a closer look at the gathering place and realized that the humans living there were indeed very hardworking.
Because their actual combat strength was much lower than their cultivation level, humans had to work much harder than the other three races when it came to cultivation.
With Lin Qian's eyesight, he could clearly see that many humans were sitting on the roofs of their huts, cultivating with their eyes closed. Many of them had pale faces and dry lips.
Cultivating a cultivation technique could restore one's spirit, and it could even replace sleep to recuperate.
However, if one were to cultivate excessively, it would indeed be beneficial for raising one's cultivation level. However, it would also be extremely taxing on one's body.
Lin Qian had already seen many humans who had overdrawn their limits before ending their cultivation. After wolfing down food that contained spiritual energy, they fell asleep on the roofs of their huts.
As for the humans who were training on the training grounds, they were fighting fiercely. It was just a sparring session, but both parties were already covered in blood.
Even though their soul power was depleted and their physical strength was weak, they were still wrestling on the ground. They would only let go of each other after exhausting their last drop of energy.
After that, he immediately sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate normally. After recovering most of his strength, he ended his cultivation before he overdid it. Then, he dragged his injured and exhausted body back to his room.
They didn't dare to cultivate excessively in such a state, as that would be akin to suicide.
Apart from that, those ordinary human beings were all doing their best to do what they could.
Now, Lin Qian completely understood why Baretu was still willing to use his body to protect Liu Fang and the others, even though the Human Race was so weak.
Why did they say that the Human Race was a burden, but when they looked at the Human Race, their eyes were still filled with admiration.
This was because every human was using their own efforts, blood, and sweat to prove themselves. They used their tenacious spirit and attitude to fight to the death to win the respect of the other three races.
They didn't have any reason to look down on such tenacious and unyielding humans.
In this underground Ancient Forest World, because of the environment, the Human Race had allowed themselves to have such an attitude towards life, which made them feel proud.
This was their race!
"Let's go in!" Lin Qian looked at the gathering place in front of them and said to Baretu, who was beside him.
Then, Baretu led Lin Qian down the cliff and walked towards the gathering place.
There was an illusion array set up near the gathering place. Although it was a little crude, it was enough to protect the gathering place from the nearby soul beasts.
Naturally, this formation was created by the Human Race.
The Dwarf Race was a natural-born refiner, but it was obvious that their talent in refining made it so that they couldn't tolerate other talents. They knew nothing about arrays.
The Red Horn Race was the same. They were very good at refining their bodies, but they couldn't do anything about arrays. The Spirit Hoof Race, who had excellent physical strength and knew the way, obviously couldn't control arrays.
Therefore, it was extremely important for the Human Race to have formation masters.
Therefore, among the Human Venerables in this Ancient Forest World, the status of array masters was obviously much higher. This was also a matter of course.
According to Liu Fang, in order to win more dignity for the Human Race, the array masters that appeared in the Human Race spent almost all their time studying arrays, besides the necessary training.
Of course, the Human Race's efforts could be said to be desperate, but the other three races weren't weak either. Each of them squeezed out their own value and worked hard for the future of the four races.
In this regard, a thought suddenly emerged in Lin Qian's mind. If the Ancient Forest World became the territory of the Hua Xia Empire, it might not be a bad thing.
If the Hua Xia Empire wanted to go further in the future, it shouldn't be limited to the Human Race among the citizens of the Empire.
When the entire Hua Xia Empire had all kinds of races, and they could coexist peacefully, working together to make the Hua Xia Empire better, then the Hua Xia Empire would truly be tyrannical.
When Lin Qian thought of this, his heart was filled with anticipation. He believed that such a day would definitely come soon.
After entering the gathering place, Lin Qian suddenly looked in front of him in shock. At this moment, he finally understood why the fighting strength of the Human Race in this underground Ancient Forest World was so much lower than their cultivation level.
