Grand Mountain.
A beefy Giant lay on the rocky ground between the mountains. His face was pale and tired.
Next to him were five Giant warriors. They had wounds all over their bodies, their faces sorrowful. They stooped and didn't say a word.
Xiao Man was kneeling on the ground. Tears welled up in her eyes as she sobbed. Sometimes, she called, "Dad."
The Giant Tribe lived in the Old Orchid Star. There were hundreds of them. Na Xin had the highest realm among them. He was also the only Tribal Elder of the Giant Tribe. He had Second Sky of Ethereal God Realm cultivation base.
Na Xin was also the only Giant at Second Sky of Ethereal God Realm.
Next to him was Xiao Man's father, Zhen Gu, the current Chief of the Giant Tribe. He had First Sky of Ethereal God Realm cultivation base. In the Far West region of Lie Agate, he was a famous warrior.
At this moment, Zhen Gu was hurt badly. It seemed that his soul altar was hurt too. His eyes were gloomy.
When Shi Yan, Jester, and Li Xiao arrived, Na Xin was frowning. He was asking the five wounded warriors to know the details.
Listening to the soldiers' description, Na Xin grimaced, his eyes filled with anger.
After Shi Yan arrived, he didn't say anything. He just listened to them quietly.
Shortly after, he knew what had happened.
Old Orchid Star was located in the Far West region of Agate. It was one of the most remote areas of Lie Agate. There were around ten life stars around Old Orchid Star, where many members of the Monster Clan and Demon Clan lived.
Apart from that, there was also a strange area in the Far West, the Fragmentary Star Field.
Broken Star Field was located in the center of ten life stars in the Far West region. Rumors said that it was created by the remains of countless stars. Broken Star Field produced many special cultivating materials. Some people had even found many Original Incipient Grade materials there.
That was the reason why people from the surrounding star areas and warriors from other areas of Agate would come to Broken Star Field to collect materials.
The Giant Tribe often went to Broken Star Field to find special cultivating materials to exchange for divine crystals or good materials suitable for their tribes to cultivate.
However, Broken Star Field wasn't peaceful. Quite the contrary, it was extremely chaotic.
There was a group of people in Broken Star Field who liked to reap without working. Once they found a weaker party with a special material, they wouldn't hesitate to rob it. This group of people usually had an extraordinary force with enough confidence.
This time, Zhen Gu had brought around ten warriors of the Giant Clan to Broken Star Field. They were lucky enough to find a precious Heavenly Fiery Crystal. However, before they had time to mine it, a force had found them and wanted to rob them of their harvest.
Zhen Gu and the Giant Race clansmen naturally wouldn't allow this. In the end, a battle erupted. Originally, they had won by a small margin.
However, the members of the Giant Tribe were kind by nature. They didn't kill the other side, allowing them to retreat easily. Not long after that, more helpers came.
In this new battle, the other side came prepared. Zhen Gu and the Giant Tribe's clansmen finally suffered a crushing defeat.
Not only had the Heavenly Flame Crystal mine ended up in the other party's hands, but they had also been heavily injured and seven of their clansmen had been captured. The other party had said that Zhen Gu and the others would pay a hundred thousand supreme grade divine crystals each in exchange.
If they couldn't gather enough Divine Crystals, they wouldn't let him go. He would have to be a slave to mine for them forever.
The other side had two leaders at Second Sky of Ethereal God Realm. Zhen Gu and the others weren't their equal opponents. Eventually, they had to retreat.
At this moment, Zhen Gu's soul altar was damaged. His condition wasn't good. He would need a lot of time to recover. Even with Tribal Oldie Na Xin, they had only one Second Sky of Ethereal God Realm expert. If they had to fight again, the possibility of their defeat was high.
"Seven clansmen means seven hundred thousand top-quality divine crystals. We can't gather that much." A wounded Giant gritted his teeth, shouting. "Tribal Oldie, let's risk our lives with them! I know where their lair is! "
Na Xin's face was dark and gloomy. He didn't have the smile he used to have. Light sparkled in his eyes as if he was calculating something.
After a while, Na Xin sighed weakly. "The other side has two Second Sky of Ethereal God Realm experts. I'm the only one at this level in our tribe. Zhen Gu, who could have resisted... is hurt badly. If we have to risk our lives to fight them, we won't have any advantage."
He was the Tribal Oldie of the Giant Tribe. He knew that he had to consider the big picture and the lives of his clansmen. He didn't let his anger cloud his mind.
"But we can't gather seven hundred thousand top-quality divine crystals!" the man bellowed. That person let out a low roar. His eyes were scarlet like blood, and he was like a trapped vicious beast. His heart was also struggling painfully.
"... Tribal Oldie." Zhen Gu, who was lying on the ground, screamed, his face pale. "Don't be impulsive. We... aren't their opponents."
Na Xin forced a smile. "Of course, I won't lose my mind. For the future of our tribe, I won't act rashly."
He sighed, stepped forward, and patted Zhen Gu's shoulder. Then, he looked at Xiao Man, who was crying, and forced a smile. "Don't worry, I'll take care of this. I won't let my clansmen be humiliated and become their slaves."
"... But seven hundred thousand top-quality divine crystals?" Zhen Gu struggled to get up. "Even if we add all the savings of our tribe, we still need a lot of money!"
"We didn't have a solution before. But while you guys were gone, we welcomed our benefactor." Na Xin glared at Shi Yan, comforting him. "Don't worry. I said I can handle it. I won't let my fellows be imprisoned forever. I promise you!"
Hearing him say it in such a serious manner, Zhen Gu relaxed a little. However, his eyes were filled with confusion.
"Have a good rest." Na Xin said faintly, looking at the other five wounded warriors. "You guys should take a good rest and recover quickly. … Children, all of you need to live well. "
"Wow! Father! I swear, I will definitely take revenge for you! " Xiaoman burst into tears. She clenched her fists tightly and said with tears in her eyes, "I'll definitely become stronger and kill all of Father's enemies!"
"Good child, good child, I know … you will definitely be stronger than your father in the future." Zhen Gu's tired face was filled with love, "But you have to promise your father that before you have enough strength, you must not be impulsive!"
"I understand! Father, I understand! Xiaoman will listen to me the best! "The Juvenile nodded resolutely, his tender face solemn.
Na Xin sighed inwardly, asking Zhen Gu and the five wounded warriors to rest. He took around ten indignant Giants and left quietly.
"Tribal Oldie, no matter what you want to do, we will support you!" Around ten Giant warriors were waiting for a fight, their honest faces filled with anticipation.
The Giant Tribe was never a race that was afraid of death. Quite the contrary, this tribe was extremely brave. Warriors at the same realm as them weren't the equal opponents of the Giant Tribe.
There were two reasons why this tribe wasn't strong enough. First, they didn't have many members, and their reproduction rate was weak.
Another reason was that they were too naive. Often, they were used by others. They couldn't take advantage of them. In the competition for benefits, they were always on the passive side.
After a long time, they didn't have enough cultivating resources. They were often used and killed in battles. No matter how strong a tribe was, after ten thousand years, it would decline.
They were a clan that was gradually declining.
"We can't fight!" Na Xin darkened his face. "We're not strong enough. Every time we sacrifice one of our fellows, we have one less. We've suffered for tens of thousands of years. If we don't change our way of thinking, we don't know how to be patient. If we only charge forward, our tribe will be destroyed!"
Listening to him, more than ten Giants quieted down.
"Little Yan, what do you think?" Na Xin pondered for a while, looking at Shi Yan.
"Our competence isn't strong enough. We can only be patient. When we accumulate enough energy, it won't be too late to take revenge." Shi Yan considered for a while and then suggested, "We've got a big harvest this time. Once the twenty-three Thousand Fold Lotuses are harvested, it will boost your tribe's development leaps and bounds. I think your tribe will prosper fast. Also, the Evil Dragon Skull and the broken piece of the Life Ancient Tree of the Wood Clan can bring you big benefits. Given enough time, you can take revenge. "
"Your Human Clan has good foresight. Yeah, you guys... are the clans that know how to recover the best." Na Xin nodded. "I've decided to use your suggestion. I want to sell the broken piece of the Life Ancient Tree of the Wood Clan. I'm sure I can get enough divine crystals to redeem my fellows."
"It's true," Shi Yan smiled.
"I want to go to Broken Star Field. Are you... interested?" asked Na Xin.
Shi Yan was bewildered.
"Broken Star Field is the center of the Far West region. It has cities and explorers from different clans of the Raging Flame Star Area. It's a lively place. I think... after you go there, you will have a deeper understanding of the Raging Flame Star Area. With only me, it's hard for you to understand this star area and its situation," said Na Xin sincerely.
"Seems like I have nothing to do at the moment." Shi Yan contemplated for a while and then nodded with a smile. "Alright, I'm going with you. Yeah, I need to arrange something first. I will bring some people with me."
"After three days, come here. We'll depart together."
"Alright."
…
Shi Yan went to the temporary gathering place.
He had only told Phelan, Liana, Yang Tian Emperor, and Long Zhu about the discovery of the Thousand Fold Lotus and the mysterious ancient city. Also, he had asked his subordinates not to talk too much.
Whether it was the mysterious ancient city or the Thousand Fold Lotus, they were both important. They hid the wealth that made people jealous.
Many clans from the Grace Mainland weren't loyal to them. Some of them used to be their enemies.
If everyone knew about this, there might be people who would betray them in order to gain more benefits.
For example, if they told the experts of the other star areas about this, once the experts of the other areas of Agate knew about this, all the people on the Old Orchid Star would be doomed.
Then, he told them that he wanted to go to Broken Star Field.
Phelan, Liana, Cato, Yang Tian Emperor, Zi Yao, and Feng Rao said that they wanted to go with him to see the world of Agate.
Three days later, Shi Yan brought around ten people to the mountain of the Giant Tribe. He sat neatly on the Giant's shoulder and departed from the Old Orchid Star to Broken Star Field.
