Along the way, Tantai Xianling was like an oriole flying out of a valley. She chattered non-stop and her laughter echoed in the forest.
Wutian couldn't help but smile. Looking at the innocent girl, he couldn't help but think of Shi Shi. Back then, she was also such a happy and carefree little girl. He didn't know if she was still the same after a few years.
He only knew that no matter how much Shi Shi had changed, she would still be his sister. The sister that he was willing to protect for the rest of his life.
Along the way, they didn't encounter any particularly strong demonic beasts. Only some Channel Opening Stage demonic beasts would attack them from time to time, but they were all dealt with quickly.
For Wutian and the others, Channel Opening Stage demonic beasts were nothing, but for Tantai Xianling, it meant something completely different.
She had encountered many demonic beasts along the way.
Fortunately, she already knew this area like the back of her hand. Coupled with her vigorous skills, after a series of dangerous situations, she finally arrived at the place where she met Wutian and the others.
But now, the return journey was completely different. With these brothers and sisters around, the journey was completely unimpeded. No demonic beasts could stop their footsteps.
A Fire Elephant that was as large as a mountain. With every step it took, the earth would tremble. Previously, it had chased her for dozens of miles and only managed to shake her off with great difficulty. However, at this moment, in the hands of this wretched and ugly fat uncle, it was killed in one move.
Her big eyes were full of stars and full of admiration.
"If I can keep them here, I'll be able to kill them easily when the Fiery-Winged Tiger comes for revenge." Tantai Xianling made up her mind. Once she reached the tribe, she would do everything she could to keep her brothers and sisters here.
Just like that, after two hours, a canyon finally appeared before their eyes.
The canyon was surrounded by mountains on three sides. It was very steep and even Shedding Stage cultivators would find it difficult to climb it. The only entrance was a wall made of many giant trees, which isolated the Tantai Tribe from the outside world.
The tribe didn't occupy a large area. It was about a thousand feet wide and had a few dozen households living in it. Every house was made of wood. It was orderly and neatly arranged. Some places had traces of decay. Some were simple and shabby.
However, in Tantai Xianling's eyes, this tribe exuded warmth and intimacy.
Not to mention her, even Wutian felt a sense of familiarity. He couldn't help but miss the Dragon Village and the joy and happiness of that time.
It was noon at this time. Smoke curled up from the kitchen chimney as the food assailed their nostrils. Ye Tian and the other powerful cooks couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Ever since he stepped onto the path of cultivation, he had never eaten such an ordinary meal again. If he hadn't smelled the aroma here, he would have probably disappeared from his memory.
Inside the canyon, there were still bursts of lively cheers. Through the gaps in the row of giant wooden walls, one could see that in the center of the canyon, there were more than ten little ones playing together.
"You bunch of scoundrels, train hard. Don't try to play dumb with me, or else your little buttocks will be flogged."
There were dozens of men sitting beside them. Looking at the group of children, they laughed and scolded them from time to time. Their faces were brimming with joy and happiness.
A few burly men dressed in animal skin clothes were guarding inside the walls. Their skin was dark and rough, but they were very strong and full of valiance. They looked around with bright eyes.
When they saw Wutian and the others walking over quickly, these burly men instantly became vigilant. Just as they were about to shout, they were stunned and then quickly smiled.
One of the burly men looked behind and asked in a low voice, "Little Sister Xianling, why are you back so soon? Did you get the monkey wine?"
"I didn't go to the monkey tribe to get it." Tantai Xianling smiled at them and shook her head.
Hearing this, the burly men's faces darkened.
"We can't blame you. Even the chief is no match for those bastards. It's normal that you can't get it."
"Sigh! We can only blame ourselves for being useless. We can't even activate our physique. When the tribe is in trouble, we can only watch from the sidelines. "
"I just hope the chief can think of another way to heal his injuries. Otherwise, the next time the Fiery-Winged Tiger comes, our tribe will face a disaster."
The burly men were worried. It was as if they could already see the destruction of their tribe in the near future. Their eyes were filled with despair.
Tantai Xianling glanced at them and said angrily, "You idiots, I only said that I didn't go to the monkey tribe to rob them. I didn't say that I didn't get the monkey wine!"
"You don't have to lie to comfort us. The tribe can't escape this disaster. If we can all cultivate, the tribe won't be at the end of the road." The burly men lowered their heads and looked ashamed.
"You really are idiots. When have I ever lied? Look, open your eyes and see what this is. "Tantai Xianling shook the jade bottle in her hand and opened the cap.
"Hey! This smell, it's really monkey wine! "
"That's right. I was lucky enough to taste a drop before. The taste is exactly the same as this fragrance. Unbelievable. Little Sister Xianling, how did you do it?"
Tantai Xianling closed the cap and smiled proudly. She pointed at Wutian and the others and said, "These benefactors gave it to me."
"Benefactors?"
At this time, the burly men carefully sized them up. It didn't matter if they didn't look, but when they did, their faces changed drastically. They hurriedly knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Greetings, seniors."
This was because they felt a strong pressure from these people. It was stronger than anyone they had seen before. They even looked similar to the tribe members of a first grade tribe.
There was another reason. They didn't know why, but when they saw the clothes of the four people, there was a hint of fear in the eyes of the burly men.
"It's just a small matter. There's no need to be so polite." Ye Tian waved his hand. The burly men were shocked to find that their bodies were out of their control and they slowly stood up.
"Hehe …" Tantai giggled and said, "Don't worry! His benefactors were all very kind and amiable. Right, open the door quickly so that I can send the monkey wine to grandpa. "
"Okay, okay."
The burly men looked at Wutian and the others in awe and grabbed the wooden door made of giant wood. With a low shout, a creaking sound was heard. When the door was just enough for one person to pass through, the burly men stopped and stood aside respectfully.
"Benefactors, please come in!"
Wutian and the others followed Tantai Xianling through the door and immediately attracted a lot of attention. Almost everyone in the square looked over. When they saw their clothes, their faces changed and their eyes were filled with fear. They lowered their heads and didn't dare to look directly at them.
"Don't look, little brats. Look at their clothes. They're at least from a third grade tribe. Don't provoke them."
A group of little ones looked curiously, but they were all reprimanded by their respective adults. They pressed down their little heads and looked at the ground. However, there were also some little ones who were unwilling to give in and kept glancing at them from the corner of their eyes.
The noisy tribe suddenly became silent. Even the sound of leaves falling to the ground could be heard.
"What's going on? Why do they look at us like we're ferocious beasts? "Shan Youde muttered.
In this strange atmosphere, Wutian and the others followed Tantai Xianling with deep doubts. Before long, they arrived at the innermost part of the tribe, in front of an old wooden house.
"Creak!"
Following the sound of the door opening, the wooden door opened wide. It was a little dark inside, but it was very clean and tidy. There was a wooden table in the middle, and there were four wooden benches beside it. There were all kinds of weapons hanging on the walls, but they were all ordinary weapons.
After passing through the main hall, they walked into the door of a bedroom. Immediately, a faint smell of blood assailed their nostrils.
"You bastard girl, who told you to go to the Fire Monkey Tribe's territory? If something happens to you, grandpa won't be able to explain it to your dead parents. Do you want grandpa to die from anger? Cough cough … "
In the corner of the room, there was a wooden bed with an old man half-lying on it. His hair was braided in many small braids, and he looked extremely old. However, his eyes were full of charm, making people feel as if they were about to be sucked in with a single glance.
Looking at his precious granddaughter standing at the door, he was so angry that he coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. Thinking about it from a different perspective, he was quite relieved.
He was angry that she went to the Fire Monkey Tribe's territory alone. As the tribe's chief, he knew very well how terrifying the Fire Monkey Tribe was. Even at his peak, he didn't dare to come within a hundred miles of them, let alone a little girl.
He was relieved that his precious granddaughter was willing to risk her life for him. She was willing to take such a big risk to snatch the Monkey Wine. Whether she succeeded or not, just her heart was enough to move him.
"Grandpa, I won't do it again." Tantai Xianling seemed to be very afraid of the old man. She lowered her head and twisted her little fingers, not daring to look at him directly.
"What, there's a next time?" The old man squinted.
Tantai Xianling hurriedly said, "There won't be a next time, Xianling promises!"
The old man shook his head. His pale face was full of helplessness, but at the same time, a loving smile appeared on his face.
"You, you, what do you want Grandpa to say about you! I already told you not to go, but you didn't listen and even snuck away secretly.
Actually, Grandpa knows that you love Grandpa and don't want Grandpa to feel bad. But have you ever thought that if something happened to you, Grandpa would feel even worse?
As long as Grandpa's precious granddaughter can live well and grow up happily, Grandpa will be satisfied. As for this injury, Grandpa has accepted it. Worst comes to worst, I'll just die. It's not a big deal. "
"Grandpa, don't talk nonsense. You won't die. Look, what your granddaughter brought you." Tantai Xianling smiled and shook the jade bottle in her hand.
"This is … Monkey Wine!!!"
The old man was stunned at first, then his body trembled and he exclaimed excitedly. Finally, his face darkened and he asked, "How did you get it?"
Who knew his granddaughter better than him?
With her strength, she could deal with some ordinary demonic beasts, but against the Fire Monkeys, there was no room for resistance. Therefore, he couldn't help but think that some people from the big tribes had used underhanded means to exchange for it.
"Hehe, Grandpa, look, they gave it to me." Tantai Xianling giggled and jumped behind Wutian and the others, pushing them in.
They shook their heads and laughed, then cupped their hands and said, "Hello, Grandpa."
However, the old man didn't say anything. He stared at their clothes for a while, then looked them up and down. His eyes gradually darkened, and his pale face became even more unsightly.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this wasn't a welcoming expression, but one of disgust and hostility.
