A day later, those who had gone to investigate returned.
"There's a tribe 50 kilometers southeast of here with about 10,000 people. Among them, the mutants are only half a man tall. Their skin is gray, they have pointed ears, and there are many wrinkles on their skin. They are weak, and I think that their strength is about the same as our Human Race. The strongest among them is only at the Cardinal Heaven realm.
This tribe doesn't rear any beasts and has planted a large area of vegetation. If we want to destroy them, we only need three to five people. "
"It's the same for the tribe 150 kilometers southwest of here. They should be the same kind of mutants. The tribe is slightly bigger, but it's only about 10,000 people."
"There's also a tribe 100 kilometers south of here with about 8,000 people. We have seen this tribe before. It's the Giant Arm Tribe. This tribe isn't weak, with at least 50 people at the Cardinal Heaven realm and four from the Longevity Heaven realm." The one who went to investigate the south was Dongguo Xun, who was best at concealment and could move in the shadows.
Therefore, even though this tribe was very strong, he was able to get a rough idea.
"There are a total of 36 powerful tribes, 369 middle-grade tribes, and the rest are low-grade tribes. The Mastiffs used to be one of the middle-grade tribes.
Those two weak tribes should be low-grade tribes. The Giant Arm Tribe should be a middle-grade tribe.
If I'm not wrong, they should be the low-grade tribes in the surrounding areas ruled by the middle-grade tribes. In a larger area, they should be the low-grade tribes in the areas ruled by the powerful tribes, "the empress said after pondering for a while.
"Emperor Qi's guess is right. When I was hiding in the dark and overheard the conversation of the Giant Arm Tribe, I found out that this place is under the jurisdiction of the Stainless Heaven Lord, who is the strongest expert of the Wuding Tribe, one of the 36 powerful tribes."
Everyone's expression changed.
"What else did you hear?" the empress asked.
"There's a big city 5,300 kilometers south of here called Stainless City. It's the residence of the Indestructible Heaven Lord. The tribes in the southeast and southwest should be called Gray Thorn. Every year, they have to offer tributes to the Giant Arm Tribe, and the Giant Arm Tribe has to offer tributes to Stainless City every three years. This year is the year of the tribute, and I overheard it when someone from the Giant Arm Tribe talked about it, "Dongguo Xun said.
"You've done a great service," the empress praised.
"It was just a coincidence of fortune," said Dongguo Xun with a smile.
Dongguo Xun had obtained quite a bit of information during this trip, and it was especially related to the existence of Stainless City. At the very least, all of them were slightly prepared.
"Is there a suitable place for us to stay nearby?" Li Fu asked.
"Three hundred and fifty kilometers to the west, there's a mountain range. Perhaps we can temporarily hide there. After circling around the mountain, we discovered that the alien vegetation only extends to the foot of the mountain. There are also ferocious beasts in the mountain, and they aren't weak. Those Gray Thorns won't easily enter the mountain."
"That would be for the best." Everyone nodded.
"Then clean up this place. Don't let anyone know that we've been here." The Empress instructed. The ferocious men of the Martial Arts Hall had been hunting in the mountains all year round. They were most adept at ambushing and cleaning up traces. Leaving two men to clean up, the rest of the men headed straight for the mountain range that was more than 150 kilometers away.
In just four hours, they arrived at the mountain range.
This mountain range wasn't big and couldn't be compared to the Sixty Thousand Mountains at all. However, it was enough for everyone to hide.
As soon as they entered the mountain range, they encountered a swarm of fist-sized wasps. Their stingers were like steel nails, had a metallic luster, and had a fishy smell.
Everyone immediately knew that these wasps must be extremely poisonous.
Furthermore, these wasps were extremely fast, strong, and tough. They were almost as strong as a Man Wheel expert. Coupled with the fact that they were in groups, there were at least a few hundred to a thousand wasps. When they flew over, they formed a dense black mass, and the sound of their flapping wings was like thunder. If one wasn't strong enough or had fewer people, they would have no choice but to retreat when encountering this swarm of wasps.
Ma Hongyu raised her brush and drew a river that flowed down from the sky and rushed the wasps to one place. She then drew an earth energy to trap them within.
However, these wasps were also ferocious. They all crashed into the yellow earth energy around them, causing the earth energy to tremble. If they were delayed for a moment longer, they might have escaped.
"Do it!" Ma Hongyu shouted in a low voice.
Fire Snake Tao Qian's first move was two fire snakes that wriggled in the air and twisted around the wasps. The wasps that were trapped in one place were all turned into ashes.
"These insects are really powerful. I almost couldn't trap them!" Ma Hongyu said as she put away her brush.
"There's probably something good around here!" Gluttonous Duke stroked his beard and smiled. "You guys go first. I'll catch up later."
After finishing his sentence, he went in the direction of the wasps.
In just a moment, Gluttonous Duke caught up with everyone. He was carrying a beehive that was even bigger than him, and an alluring sweet smell came from it.
Everyone chuckled when they saw his appearance. He was indeed worthy of his title as Gluttonous Duke.
Everyone found a peak in the mountain range. From here, they could barely see the direction they came from with binoculars. If someone passed by, they would be able to detect it as long as they didn't hide their aura and didn't move too fast.
Furthermore, the vitality here was 10% thicker than at the foot of the mountain. It could be considered a treasure land.
"There's a ferocious beast in that direction. Based on its aura, I'm afraid it's close to the strength of Longevity Heaven," someone said as he looked to the west. "It's only one mountain away from here. Why don't we kill it first to avoid trouble?"
"Gao Yi, why don't you and I take a look?" Li Fu stood up and said.
In the past three years, among the people who had arrived first, two of them had broken through to the next level and entered the Heaven and Earth Territory. One of them was Gao Yi with the spear.
The other was Xin Yi from the Life Transformation Celestial Sect. She was a man of few words. Her Divine Weapon was a treasure bottle that could release Life Transformation Celestial Qi to attack and trap enemies.
However, in terms of attack, she was not as good as Gao Yi with the spear.
After the two of them left, two people went to look for food and water. The others opened up caves on the mountain peak to hide and cultivate.
They moved trees and vines to block the cave entrance. It was difficult to detect them from afar. They didn't even need to activate the two sets of air projection equipment used to hide their tracks.
Li Fu and Gao Yi followed the aura and searched behind another mountain. From afar, they saw a white snake that was more than 20 meters long coiled on a huge rock. The most shocking thing was that there were two claws in front of the snake's abdomen. They were no more than a meter long.
Noticing the two of them approaching, the giant snake coiled up and stared at them with a cold and fierce gaze. It made hissing sounds.
"I can deal with this thing alone," Gao Yi said with a relaxed expression.
This giant snake was full of vigor. It would have been troublesome to deal with it in the past, but now that he had taken that step, he could not be compared to the past.
One had to know that besides the martial arts and moves of a Spirit Wheel expert, their most powerful weapon was their Heaven-grade weapon.
After taking that step, they already had their own Heaven and Earth Domain. The Heaven and Earth Domain was a powerful weapon to deal with enemies. Even though he had just taken this step, it was incomparable to what he had done before.
The Heaven and Earth Domain of Xia Yonghe that the empress had seen before was similar to his Heaven-grade weapon. It was a domain with countless spears that could be used to block, trap, and kill the enemy.
Gao Yi, on the other hand, was different. Gao Yi's Heaven and Earth Domain could find the flaws in the opponent's aura within a certain range.
If he were to fight with someone, he could easily find the opponent's flaws and predict the enemy's moves.
Li Fu was different from Gao Yi. Li Fu's Heaven and Earth Domain strengthened his ability to see the weaknesses of objects. This allowed him to see the weaknesses of the opponent's weapon or his own body. No matter how strong the opponent's body was, he could break it with one blow.
In other words, Gao Yi could find the opponent's flaws, but if the opponent's body was strong enough, he might not be able to break it.
On the other hand, Li Fu was the opposite. No matter how strong the opponent's body was, he could break it as long as he found its weakness. However, if he couldn't find the opponent's flaws, he might not have the chance to attack.
Seeing that Gao Yi had taken the initiative to fight, Li Fu saved himself some effort. He immediately laughed and said, "My arms and legs are old, and I want to rest."
After he finished speaking, he found a place to sit. Coincidentally, there was a cluster of berries next to where he was sitting with bright red fruits hanging on them.
Li Fu plucked a few of them, used his own method to determine if they were poisonous, and threw them into his mouth with a satisfied look on his face.
Gao Yi was speechless when he saw Ren Baqian eating melon seeds and watching the crowd.
Fortunately, he wanted to familiarize himself with the Heaven and Earth Domain and hone his combat skills. He calmed himself down and ignored Li Fu. Two spears, one long and one short, appeared in his hands, and he walked into the attack range of the giant snake.
He activated the Qi activity in his body and combined it with his divine sense to sweep outwards. Immediately, he felt his five senses become clearer, and he could sense every movement within a ten-meter radius like the back of his hand.
At this moment, Gao Yi felt a warning in his heart. His body swayed to the side, and he just happened to dodge the white snake's attack. He raised the short spear in his hand and felt as if he had hit an extremely solid object. A string of sparks appeared on the scales of the white snake.
The giant snake's attack missed, so it took the opportunity to coil around him. However, Gao Yi was already prepared. He turned his body seven or eight times and took advantage of the situation to move near the giant rock. His long spear touched one of the scales, and a bloody hole appeared on the giant snake's body.
However, compared to the giant snake's body, this bloody hole was like a needle. At most, it felt a little pain, but the ferocity in its eyes deepened. It retracted most of its attention from Li Fu and attacked even more fiercely.
The two sides fought for a while. Gao Yi attacked with his long spear and defended with his short spear. He either dodged or blocked, but the giant snake couldn't do anything to him. Instead, it suffered many wounds and bloodstains, and the surrounding trees and rocks were all swept away.
The giant snake felt that something was wrong. The enemy in front of it was difficult to deal with, and it couldn't be compared to its previous opponents. Not far away, there was another person who gave it an extremely dangerous feeling, and it wanted to retreat.
However, just as it had this plan, Gao Yi sensed it and immediately stepped forward to entangle it. He attacked with the long spear in his hand, leaving it with nowhere to escape.
However, after a while, Gao Yi found a flaw in the giant snake and stabbed it seven inches deep.
The giant snake was nailed seven inches deep. It struggled and rolled around, sweeping the already messy surroundings again.
However, Gao Yi's long spear was still nailed to Zou She. After a while, it lost its strength and fell to the ground.
Gao Yi jumped and stomped on the ground, nailing the spear directly into the giant rock.
His body turned backward, and the short spear nailed into the giant snake's brain through its eye.
The giant snake's body slightly twisted a few times, and finally, it stopped breathing.
The two of them dragged the giant snake back. The snake was dozens of meters long, and its meat was also more than a thousand kilograms. However, it was only enough for them to have a sumptuous meal.
Next, they had to cultivate while looking for food.
Fortunately, there was no lack of water and ferocious beasts in this mountain range. There were a few beasts with similar strength to this giant snake, but they were in deeper places. They didn't bother with them for now, and they could hunt them for a sumptuous meal in the future.
Although one of the herdsmen went to inform them, everyone knew that the other party wouldn't arrive so soon.
They took this opportunity to cultivate in secret, hoping to break through or advance further.
