Lu Xiaotian frowned. He didn't think that these people would go back on their word so quickly. However, he wasn't completely unprepared. The person who seemed to be the leader had been injured by him. Even though his body was stronger and his recovery speed was greater than Yu Dongbao and Huo Ying's, it would still take him at least half a day to recover.
Aside from the person he had killed, the others were led by Tuoba Hong, who had asked to exchange hostages with him. As long as there weren't too many opponents of this level, if he wanted to leave, these people wouldn't be able to stop him. However, these people were proficient in group battles and seemed to have good teamwork. The strength they displayed couldn't be measured simply by their individual strength. If a chaotic battle really broke out, Yu Dongbao and Huo Ying would have to rely on their own luck.
The reason why he had saved them was because he wanted to use them to fight against these strange people. After all, Lu Xiaotian knew that there might be Nascent Soul Fruits here, so it was impossible for him to leave so easily. These two people also knew some information about the Nascent Soul Fruits. If he could protect them, he had to try his best.
Lu Xiaotian turned around and a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to make a move, he discovered that these strange people didn't seem to be here to fight with him. They directly jumped off their spirit beasts and surrounded Lu Xiaotian's group. No, it should be more accurate to say that they surrounded Di Kun. They knelt on one knee and placed their right hand in front of their chest. Their faces were filled with excitement as they muttered names that Lu Xiaotian and the others couldn't understand.
Di Kun let out a low roar, but he looked at Lu Xiaotian in surprise, asking if Lu Xiaotian should fight or not.
"Caw …" Before Lu Xiaotian could make a decision, a black shadow flashed by. Little Fire Crow pointed its wings angrily at these strange people and cawed incessantly. Although Lu Xiaotian couldn't understand it, he could guess that Little Fire Crow wanted to fight. However, he didn't make a move and instead ordered Di Kun to do so. To Lu Xiaotian's surprise, Di Kun didn't react as strongly as before, even though it still looked impatient. It even let Little Fire Crow land on its back.
Not only Lu Xiaotian, but even Shao Zixia and the strange people were also confused. Di Kun was such a powerful spirit beast, yet it was difficult for it to allow this rather irritable little Fire Crow to sit on its back.
"What is the meaning of this?" Lu Xiaotian looked at Tuoba Hong, who had spoken to him before. Originally, he thought that these strange people wanted to turn hostile again, but now it seemed that this was not the case. These people's attention was on Di Kun. Looking at their faces full of excitement and reverence, he did not know why.
"Long Shi is the sacred beast of our Stone Golem Tribe. Sacred beasts have disappeared from our tribe for thousands of years. May I ask what is your relationship with Long Shi?" Tuoba Hong asked Lu Xiaotian excitedly.
"Long Shi?" Lu Xiaotian looked at Di Kun in surprise. He did not know if Tuoba Hong had made a mistake. However, to be able to be revered as a sacred beast, and seeing these people's expressions of reverence towards Di Kun, it should not be fake. However, he did not think that Di Kun would be called Long Shi.
"It is my spirit beast. It does not have much of a relationship with your sacred beast. If there is nothing else, I will be leaving first." Lu Xiaotian reacted and coldly glanced at Tuoba Hong. He realized that his situation was not good. Since it was their sacred beast, and now that it had been discovered by the other party, it was very likely that they would want to take it for themselves. Di Kun had grown up to this point and was already one of his indispensable forces. It had helped him break through many dangerous situations. With Di Kun's aptitude, it was completely possible for it to become a tenth rank spirit beast. Lu Xiaotian was not willing to give up on such a powerful spirit beast like Di Kun.
Hearing that Long Shi was the spirit beast of this strange person, Tuoba Hong translated Lu Xiaotian's words to his tribe members. The remaining strange people with only animal skins wrapped around their waists began to clamor loudly. Their gazes towards Lu Xiaotian became unfriendly. However, Di Kun angrily roared at them, and these people retreated out of fear of harming the innocent. They did not want to become enemies with Di Kun.
"Let's go!" Lu Xiaotian had a bad feeling in his heart. After all, his spirit beast was being targeted, so he naturally felt uncomfortable.
"Please wait!" Tuoba Hong was shocked and quickly called out to stop him.
Under this kind of situation, how could Lu Xiaotian be willing to stay? He expressionlessly took out the Fire Wyrm Bow and Arrows, and then glanced at Tuoba Hong and the others threateningly. His feet stomped on the ground, and his body lightly floated towards the distance.
Just as Tuoba Hong was about to move, Lu Xiaotian drew his bow and arrow. Tuoba Hong immediately felt as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast. It was the same feeling he had when he was hunting with his tribe members when they were young. His scalp went numb, and his movements became stiff. The other tribe members wanted to follow, but they were quickly stopped by Tuoba Hong. Even he had this feeling, and Tuoba Hai had been captured by the other party in a single move. Under the situation where the other party was already hostile, forcefully following would only cause unnecessary casualties.
Although the other tribe members were stopped by Tuoba Hong, they were all agitated and weren't willing to let Lu Xiaotian leave just like that.
Tuoba Hong muttered a few words, then took out a colorful magic conch with a serious expression. The magic conch was as tall as a person. Tuoba Hong brought the magic conch to his mouth and blew with all his might.
"Wu —" A bleak and distant sound came from the magic conch. At this moment, Lu Xiaotian, who was dozens of li away, heard the sound of the magic conch and his expression slightly changed. No matter how stupid he was, he could guess that these strange people were calling for reinforcements.
"Let's go!" Lu Xiaotian glanced at Yu Dongbao and the others and said.
"Brother Lu, don't worry. My life was saved by you. Even if these strange people come back, I will kill them to my heart's content." Huo Ying said with a fierce expression.
"Little friend, since you were able to tame Long Shi as a spiritual beast, you are not an ordinary person. My Jin Golem Tribe is very hospitable, especially to a cultivator with unlimited potential like little friend. Little friend, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
After Lu Xiaotian and the others sprinted for a hundred li, an ancient and distant voice sounded in a timely manner.
Lu Xiaotian and the others' expressions changed greatly. It wasn't easy for them to run this far, but they were still blocked by the other party. Although this person spoke, Lu Xiaotian couldn't sense the other party's position at all. Lu Xiaotian was confident that there wasn't a Jin Dan cultivator that he couldn't sense after taking the initiative to move. The only explanation was that the other party had already surpassed the Jin Dan cultivators and was at the Nascent Soul stage. Lu Xiaotian could only bitterly laugh at such an expert. Facing such a person, even he didn't have the ability to protect himself.
"I still don't know if senior's tribe is friend or foe. Junior doesn't dare to stay for long." Lu Xiaotian suppressed the shock in his heart and pretended to be calm.
