When Qin Tian was sent flying by the electric eel, his consciousness was still somewhat clear.
At that time, he felt that two extremely powerful humans wielding tridents had instantly killed a rank eight electric eel. They were extremely powerful.
The sound of footsteps came from outside the tent. The aura within them was very dense.
And there was not only one.
Even the aura of the patient who had just recovered was surging. Compared to the weak state he was before, it was like heaven and earth. The recovery of aura could not be compared to the recovery of external injuries. It was impossible to recover so quickly in such a short period of time.
Qin Tian did not understand, but he did not pursue the matter.
Three burly middle-aged men with tanned skin walked in. The visual impact was extremely strong, not any weaker than Meng Lei. Moreover, the muscles on their upper bodies were clearly defined, filled with power.
The leading middle-aged man saw the patient who had just recovered. His expression changed and he exclaimed, "Luo Feng, you've recovered?"
Last month, in order to pay the taxes, the entire tribe went out to hunt the monsters. Luo Feng was trampled by over ten thousand monsters and his life was hanging by a thread. When he was carried back to the tribe, his entire body was filled with injuries. If not for the dark ocean tribe's physique, he would have died long ago.
However, in this one month, his wounds had rotted and festered. Seeing that he would not have many days left to live, Luo Yue came to see him one last time. Unexpectedly, Luo Feng had already recovered.
"Patriarch."
Luo Feng and the old woman bowed.
Luo Yue waved his hand and walked to Luo Feng's side excitedly. He turned around and patted Luo Feng's shoulder, shouting, "Indeed, there are no wounds, not even a scar. How did you do it? Yesterday, your mother said that you would not live past three days. How can you be as lively as a dragon and a tiger, as if you were never sick?"
The old woman was the tribe's doctor. Her words would not be too wrong. No one would curse their own son to not live past three days.
Luo Feng looked at the old woman. He also did not know how he survived. Moreover, his wounds were miraculously healed. Just now, he only felt a powerful force spreading throughout his body, madly healing all his wounds at a shocking speed.
Luo Feng scratched the back of his head and mumbled, "I also don't know how I recovered."
"It was him who saved my son."
The old woman became excited. She walked to Qin Tian's side and was about to kneel down. However, Qin Tian held her up and quickly said, "Granny, you can't."
"Him?"
Luo Yue looked at Qin Tian, feeling that it was not possible. However, since Qin Tian had saved his clansmen, he had to thank him. Immediately, he cupped his fists, "Thank you."
"I should be the one thanking you for saving me. If not for you, I'm afraid I would have died at the bottom of the sea." Qin Tian sincerely said.
"You're the kid that Luo Kuang saved?"
Luo Yue smiled and said, "That electric eel is extremely cunning. We ambushed it a few times but it always escaped. If not for you leading it into the encirclement, we might not have been able to kill it, haha … …"
Qin Tian smiled bitterly.
The two of them were extremely strong, able to kill the rank eight electric eel in two moves. Even if he did not lure them over, they would have been able to kill them easily. Luo Yue's words were to comfort himself, and Qin Tian felt grateful.
Then, they started chatting.
Qin Tian found out that this was the border of the ocean tribe. Their tribe was also called the border tribe. To not be chased out, they had to pay a heavy tax, ten thousand cores every month.
Hearing this, Qin Tian was shocked to the extreme.
Ten thousand cores, even some sects might not have such a large amount of cores.
Killing ten thousand rank five monsters in a month, what kind of concept was that?
Unimaginable!
If they did not pay, they would be chased out. They had been living at the bottom of the ocean for generations, unwilling to leave their homeland no matter how bitter it was. Thus, they had always been oppressed and their living conditions became more and more difficult.
In order to collect ten thousand cores, almost the entire tribe was mobilized. Every month, they would conduct a few big hunts. However, the success rate was extremely low.
During the hunt last month, Luo Feng tried his best to block the exit, but he was still unable to do so. In the end, ten thousand monsters rushed out and trampled over him, causing him to be seriously injured.
Almost every hunt would result in the death of the tribesmen. Facing the decreasing number of warriors in the tribe, Luo Yue was burning with anxiety. Recently, he had been frowning.
The deadline to pay the cores was about to arrive. After a few failures, the tribe was only able to gather less than a third of the required amount. If it was not enough in a few more days … …
Thinking of this, Luo Yue let out a long sigh.
As the patriarch, in order to protect the tribe, the pressure on him was immense.
"Brother Luo, have you never thought of leaving this place?" Qin Tian could not help but ask. With their strength, it was not difficult to build a new home in Tianyuan continent. Moreover, it was comparable to any big clan.
"Leave?" Luo Yue's expression changed, "If we leave, we will never be able to return."
As long as they left the ocean territory, wanting to return would not be easy. Thus, they had never thought of leaving.
"What about resistance?"
"Resistance?" Luo Yue smiled bitterly, "With our strength, resistance will only make us die faster."
Qin Tian was silent. Looking at Luo Yue's expression, he did not continue speaking. He originally wanted to say that if they did not resist, they would still die. Why not gather their strength to overthrow the tyranny?
However, he did not say it out loud. Luo Yue was the patriarch. No matter what he did, he had to place the lives of the tribesmen first.
Resistance was equivalent to risking the lives of the tribesmen. The success rate was not even 0.1%. Luo Yue could not do it.
Silence filled the tent.
After a long while, Luo Yue stood up and said, "Luo Feng, recuperate properly these few days. You do not need to participate in tomorrow's hunt."
"Patriarch, I'm already fine." Luo Feng immediately stood up.
"This is an order." Luo Yue frowned. Luo Feng immediately lowered his head and sat down.
"Qin Tian, welcome to the ocean territory. In a few days, I will think of a way to send you out … …" Luo Yue smiled.
"Gedeng, gedeng … …"
Suddenly, the sound of horses galloping could be heard from outside the tent. Arrogant laughter could be heard.
"Ah … …"
A few women's screams could be heard.
Luo Yue frowned. His aura suddenly changed and a powerful killing intent was released. He shouted coldly, "Demonic cavalry armor!"
At that moment, a few people stood up. Their eyes changed and a powerful killing intent erupted from them.
Luo Yue's muscles twitched and the bones in his body creaked. His heart was filled with anger.
Shortly after, he stepped out of the tent and the two followers behind him followed.
Qin Tian was startled. Once again, he was shocked by Luo Yue's aura. However, the demonic cavalry armor outside the tent contained an evil aura. His heart tightened and he thought, "Demon race?!"
