Silence. There was nothing but dead silence in the camp!
The last few words were too shocking. Like a super crystal bomb, the hundred thousand people on the spot were all dizzy.
The enormous camp was completely silent. It was not until three seconds later that a tsunami of hissing noises was heard.
Everyone's mouths were wide open as they sucked in a breath of cold air!
It was not until more than ten seconds later that screams and curses burst out from the battle formation of the Burning Sun Tribe, the Feathered Snakes Tribe, and the Giant Axe Tribe.
The qi-trainers of the Furious Bears Tribe were even more infuriated. They cursed Yan Chihuo and berated him for his nonsense.
Every hair on Wu Mayan's body was trembling. Crouching in Li Yao's arms, he could barely speak. "Father Xiong, he — he — he —"
Li Yao was dumbfounded, too, but he was more or less convinced because the incident was too appalling. If Yan Chihuo did not have solid evidence, he would not have come to such a conclusion.
If that was the case, Yan Zhengdong's uncanny words the night before would make perfect sense!
"So, Great Clan Leader Xiong, you're the real actor!"
Li Yao complimented in his heart. Recalling everything that had happened since he came to the Furious Bears Tribe, many of his questions had been answered!
He had been wondering why Xiong Wuji would trust a space resident so quickly and even open the central secrets of the temple of techniques to him!
He had thought that the Iron Plateau natives were unrestrained, but as it turned out …
He stole a glance at Xiong Wuji, only to discover that his face was as gloomy as water. His eyes were filled with regret and fury, and he was clenching his fists so hard that they were about to explode. But he showed no intention of refuting.
The chief of the Giant Axe Tribe took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Yan Chihuo, this is a matter of great importance. You cannot make false accusations. What evidence do you have?
"If you assume that the chief of another tribe is a space resident without solid proof, the Giant Axe Tribe will not stand on the Burning Sun Tribe's side!"
The chief of the Feathered Snakes Tribe shrieked, "Neither will the Feathered Snakes Tribe! This is too shocking. What evidence do you have? "
Yan Chihuo sneered. While he was laughing, hot tears suddenly flowed out of his eyes. He took out a crumpled paper from his pocket. "This is the evidence!"
"After my father failed to negotiate with Xiong Wuji, he felt that something was wrong on his way back. Therefore, he released a stream of sharp spiritual gas and left some shallow marks on the paper.
"These words. You can't see it now, but as long as you mix the ashes of the Rush Grass and the Purple Fluorescent Powder into water and mix it into a solution, then soak the paper in the solution. The Rush Grass and the Purple Fluorescent Powder will react with the remaining zhenqi, and you'll be able to see the tiny characters! "
"This piece of paper was crumpled up and thrown into the wastepaper basket."
"When we checked my father's body, we found that he died with his eyes wide open. I kept staring at the wastepaper basket, that's how I found it! "
"Using True Qi to leave behind the 'secret language' was originally a game that my father liked to play with us when we were young. I didn't expect that the last time we played it would be under such circumstances!"
Yan Chihuo sobbed as he talked.
The chief of the Giant Axe Tribe nodded and said, "I see. What is written on the paper? Don't be impatient, tell me slowly. You'd better not miss a single word. "
Yan Chihuo sniffed hard and bit his lips. "What is written on the paper is a story that took place more than forty years ago by the Black Tooth River."
The Black Tooth River was a great river in the south of the six tribes. The river was turbulent, the spiritual energy was abundant, and the products were abundant. Rare animals were often seen in the river. It was a favorite hunting ground for many qi-trainers of the six tribes.
"That year, my father went hunting in the upstream of the Black Tooth River with his companions. However, they ran into a very cunning demon beast on their way. The demon beast was shot by its spear, but it still fled in panic.
"My father chased after the demon beast and got further and further away from his companions. Eventually, he lost contact with them and lost his way.
"At that time, he met Xiong Dachuan, a qi-trainer from the Furious Bears Tribe!
"At that time, the relationship between the two tribes was not as tense as it is now. Xiong Dachuan was a famous warrior of the six tribes, too. My father appreciated his bravery. Therefore, the two of them got to know each other.
"As it turned out, Xiong Dachuan had an only son who was less than one year old. His mother passed away when he was born. The child was born with congenital deficiencies and was weak and sickly. He was about to die.
"The witch doctor in the tribe said that only a rare mushroom named 'Colorful Phoenix Tail Mushroom' could cure the child. He went to the source of the Black Tooth River to look for the Colorful Phoenix Tail Mushroom.
"Later, the two of them went hunting together. When they split up, my father discovered the debris of an escape capsule in a burnt bush. There were some items for a baby inside.
"Soon, Xiong Dachuan shrieked, too. When my father went to check it out, he only saw the skeleton of a baby that had been gnawed beyond recognition by a demon beast.
"Presumably, it was an escape capsule of a space resident that had malfunctioned during the crash landing on Iron Plateau. Then, it happened to fall into the depths of the desert and was killed by demon beasts.
"It was not unusual on Iron Plateau. Although the Burning Sun Tribe did not like space residents, the baby was innocent after all. My father and Xiong Dachuan killed two demon beasts that intended to come over and gnaw on the skeleton. Then, they hid the baby and buried him underground. Then, they searched for a day and a night with the escape capsule as the center, but they did not find any other space residents.
"Even if there were any, they must've been swallowed by demon beasts!
"My father didn't think much of it and forgot about it after he returned to the Burning Sun Tribe. But he became good friends with Xiong Dachuan. The two of them often wrote to each other. My father even asked someone to deliver some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to Xiong Dachuan to help his son recover.
"Later, I was told that Xiong Dachuan had found a Seven-colored Phoenix Tail Mushroom. His dying son was recovering day by day, too. My father was very happy for him, too!
"But it was strange. In the twenty years that followed, my father cherished his friendship with Xiong Dachuan very much. He thought of communicating with Xiong Dachuan in the Furious Bears Tribe many times, but Xiong Dachuan was more and more indifferent to him. He even deliberately avoided my father several times.
"My father didn't think much of it. He thought that it was because the relationship between the two tribes was getting more and more tense, which affected their friendship. So, he let it go.
"It wasn't until 15 years ago that Xiong Dachuan suddenly sent my father a letter, telling him that he had to visit him."
"My father was baffled, but he went to Furious Bears City, too. It was not until then that he learned that Xiong Dachuan had been heavily wounded in a hunt and was dying.
"At that time, Xiong Dachuan had a high fever for three days and three nights. He was not in his right mind at all. But when he saw my father, he seemed to have regained his consciousness before his death. He asked everybody to leave and talked to my father in secret.
"Xiong Dachuan told my father that more than twenty years ago, he did something bewitching. All these years, he has been conflicted in his heart, unable to dispel it, and even more so, does not know how to face my father!"
"My father was baffled. He wanted to ask more questions, but Xiong Dachuan's mind was in a mess again. He just kept repeating 'Black Tooth River' and couldn't say anything else.
"Three days after my father left, he heard the news of Xiong Dachuan's death.
"My father couldn't figure it out. More than twenty years ago, in Black Tooth River, they met for the first time. What was the crazy thing?
"Later, in the battle of the apocalypse, Xiong Wuji, Xiong Dachuan's only son, performed amazingly and made great contributions in slaying the calamity-level apocalyptic beast. He became the best expert of the younger generation on Iron Plateau. That was why my father paid attention to him!
"After his observation, he discovered that Xiong Wuji and Xiong Dachuan did not look alike at all!
"Xiong Dachuan was a typical qi-trainer of the Furious Bears Tribe. He was more than 2.45 meters tall and an out-and-out iron tower. He was born with a long face. His cheekbones were very high, and his chin was very sharp!
"Xiong Wuji, on the other hand, was only two meters tall, not even taller than the common qi-trainers of the Furious Bears Tribe. His shoulders were not very broad, either. His face was square, too.
"My father thought that he was very much like his mother. However, after some investigation, he discovered that his mother was also more than 2.20 meters tall and was a magnificent woman!
"Why was the child of such two giants so different? Was it congenitally deficient? But how could a congenitally deficient child grow into the best expert of the younger generation?
"By the Black Tooth River, more than twenty years ago …
"My father thought hard and finally came up with a shocking possibility. Was it possible that Xiong Dachuan's only son had died more than twenty years ago, and this' Xiong Wuji 'right now was the space resident who was brought back from the Black Tooth River at that time?"
The chief of the Feathered Snakes Tribe couldn't help but shriek, "But your father saw the baby's body with his own eyes years ago and buried it in person!"
"Yes. It was a question that bothered my father a lot, too."
Yan Chihuo nodded and said, "He thought hard for years. One day, a qi-trainer's wife gave birth to twins. He went to congratulate her.
"When he saw the twins, he suddenly had an epiphany. What if there were more than one baby in the escape capsule?
"For example, a pair of twins were placed in the escape capsule at the same time. As a result, one of them was killed by a demon beast, and the other survived the disaster by accident, only to be discovered by Xiong Dachuan!
"Those who have just become fathers are often particularly soft-hearted toward babies. Besides, Xiong Dachuan's only son was about to die. Perhaps, he hid the baby from space because he was bewildered by such a thing!"
"Later, his only son died as expected. So, he simply replaced him with the space resident next to the Black Tooth River!
"How different could the appearance of a baby less than one year old be? Besides, Xiong Dachuan's son was weak and sickly the moment he was born. Few people had ever seen him when he was nursed at home. The difference in appearance later could be attributed to the treatment of the Seven-colored Phoenix Tail Mushroom. It was perfectly normal that the baby was chubby!
"However, if the baby had mediocre aptitude and had been a common member of the Furious Bears Tribe for the rest of his life, Xiong Dachuan might not have been bothered.
"However, when Xiong Dachuan saw that the baby from the Flying Bears City had shown talents in training since he was little and was very likely to become an important person in the tribe in the future, Xiong Dachuan was naturally troubled. That was why he asked my father to go to Furious Bears City.
"It was a pity that he fell into madness before he could say anything. It was years later when my father figured everything out.
