It was unknown whether it was Lou Xiaoyi's caution that allowed him to avoid the traps, or that the supreme cultivators simply did not gather enough manpower, or that they did not have the intention to do so. Their journey was smooth and they returned to the side of the Wolf Ridge that was close to the Western Regions.
The mountain tribes here were only a few thousand miles away from the Western Regions, and the furthest were not more than ten thousand miles away. For the Wolf Ridge that was tens of thousands of miles deep, it could be understood as the radiation range of the Western Regions.
The reality was indeed so. Out of the twelve high mountain tribes, they went from the North to the South. Out of the nine tribes, seven of them chose to cooperate, and only two insisted on being independent.
It was very normal. Those that judged the situation, there would definitely be those that were stubborn and unyielding. This was the innate nature of the aboriginals. It was only because tens of thousands of years had passed that the grudges had long faded. Otherwise, none of the tribes in the Wolf Ridge would be willing to submit.
The reason why they sent these small foundational cultivators was because of the principle of voluntariness. It was to allow both sides to speak on equal terms, and not to force them. If they really used force, Jin Dan's Yuanying would attack together. Under the threat of extermination, how many people would be able to withstand it? But if they did that, they would lose their voluntariness, and there would be no end of trouble.
The tenth high mountain tribe was known as the Northern Tribe. It was the most cultured tribe among all the high mountain tribes that they had encountered. It was five thousand miles deep into the Wolf Ridge, and belonged to the kind that was neither deep nor shallow.
It had been five years since they left Mao Zian Town. The four of them had gone through all kinds of experiences and conflicts, but in the end, they became the best of friends.
Between cultivators, this kind of friendship was very precious. Because as their cultivation level increased, it became harder and harder for cultivators to have this kind of experience together. In terms of temperament, it became harder and harder for them to open their hearts to each other. Just from making friends, to Lou Xiaoyi, it was worth it!
It was much better than him staying at Mao Zian Town foolishly working hard.
In these five years, almost everyone felt homesick. The dome was their home. They could not be like the high level cultivators who could walk for hundreds of years and still not care about their cultivation level. This was also human nature. The growth of a cultivator, the change in their temperament, was accumulated bit by bit. In the end, they would become a lonely and emotionless rock.
Of course, the vast majority of people didn't even have the chance to turn into stone. They could only turn into dust and be blown away by the wind and rain.
"Wangbei Tribe, Gaozhen Tribe, Xue Ling Tribe. Only three more. Little Yi, fly faster. Did you not eat enough?"
Yan Bo urged him from behind. His personality wasn't like this. Instead, he should always have a loser's appearance. He raised his chin slightly and looked up at the sky! However, this appearance of his was also the target of the other three in the team. Therefore, although he still acted the same way to outsiders, he no longer pretended to be in the team.
In terms of bickering, Lou Xiaoyi was not inferior to him!
"Senior Brother Yan Bo, you're still missing one, right? Have you forgotten about the Red Dome Clan so quickly? There are also beauties waiting for you to reunite … Tsk tsk, I haven't seen you in five years. You're so hungry and thirsty … Do you want me to hunt a blue sheep to nourish you? "
Smoky snorted. She had long been immune to these two people's boredom. It was Guang Bei who joined in the fun, which was rare.
"Little Yi, you don't understand! The blue sheep couldn't do it! I need the Mountain Ant Wine! "
"Wangbei, Wangbei, senior brother, this place is destined to be with you!" Lou Xiaoyi originally wanted to say Gu Bei, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that it was a little inauspicious. This feeling was very inexplicable.
In the midst of chatting and laughing, the Wangbei Tribe appeared in front of them. Everything went smoothly, just like most of the situations they had experienced before. The Wangbei Tribe had no objection to the proposal of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, and they couldn't possibly oppose it, especially when they saw so many Mountain Ant Tribe members had already surrendered!
After the agreement was completed, the Wangbei Tribe leader, who was dying and smelled of elixirs, came over to greet them. The atmosphere was very harmonious. During the conversation, there were hidden worries on his face, and occasionally, he would evade. Guang Bei smiled and said,
"What's the matter, Patriarch? Since you and I have an agreement, we should help each other and tide over the difficulties together. Why don't you say it? There are many people with wisdom. If we can't solve it, there will be someone who can. What's there to be embarrassed about? "
The Patriarch laughed self-deprecatingly, "Fellow Taoist, please don't blame us. The Wangbei Tribe has always been alone here. Everything needs to be solved by ourselves. Now that we have someone to rely on, we are still a little uncomfortable. I don't know how to say it, and I always feel that we have troubled others!"
Guang Bei nodded in understanding. The tribe that was used to being alone did have such a problem, and it was not only the Wangbei Tribe. Along the way, they had indeed solved some practical difficulties for several tribes. There were also some that could not be solved, and they went back to report it to the sect, and there would be superior cultivators to solve it.
Habits were all cultivated. Now it was a habit of being alone. In the future, it would be a habit of reporting big and small matters to Xuanyuan. Who could say which habits were good and which were bad? Everyone knew the propriety, but how many could really master it?
The Patriarch coughed softly and said seriously, "The trouble of the Wangbei Tribe is not far from the tribe's gathering place! There is a natural crypt there. It has been there for a long time. Anyway, it has been there since the tribe was founded. I'm afraid it has been there for at least tens of thousands of years.
There are countless crypts in the Wolf Ridge, and it is not a rare thing. There are some ferocious beasts and poisonous insects that we can deal with ourselves!
This crypt is unusual because it is unfathomable. After so many years, generation after generation, no one knows how deep it is. But the cultivators of the Wangbei Tribe are only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and our ability is limited. We don't have the ability to go too deep. Anyway, there has never been any strange beasts or birds of prey that came out to hurt people, so we just let it go. After a long time, we got used to it, and no one paid attention to it.
Three years ago, a tribesman happened to pass by the crypt and heard a strange sound inside. This was the first time in tens of thousands of years. At first, we thought it was the sound of some wild beast falling in, so we didn't pay much attention to it.
But later, this strange sound became more and more frequent, and it lasted for a long time. If it was just something falling in, it wouldn't have lasted for so long. So a cultivator volunteered to go down and take a look, for the sake of the tribesmen!
But when he went down, there was no news. He didn't see anyone, and there was no warning, which made people suspicious! We all guessed that he had encountered something, and it pointed to disaster!
A year ago, in order to find out what happened, another two cultivators of the Foundation Establishment stage went down to look for him. Because they knew it was dangerous, they were fully prepared. They had plans for all kinds of possibilities. But when they went down, they were like the previous cultivator. They didn't come back, and there was no news. They couldn't even send a warning!
The Wangbei Tribe was a small tribe with tens of thousands of people. Cultivators were precious, and there was one less person left. If they all died here, how could the mortals live in the future? So we had to suspend the search!
Originally, for a crypt like this, it didn't matter if it was far away. Anyway, it wouldn't affect our lives. But its location was only about ten miles away from the tribe's land, and it happened to be on the main road in and out. I'm afraid that if there is really something down there, what should we do when it comes out and hurts people on a large scale?
So I've been worried for the past few years. I don't know what to do. Should I investigate? Or should I just let it be? It makes people at a loss!
These small things may be nothing in the eyes of Xuanyuan, but here, we are at our wits' end. Please don't laugh at us! "
