Before the middle-aged man could speak.
"You brats went hunting and didn't return all night. How could we not be worried?!"
An old man with wrinkles all over his face walked out from behind him and scolded jokingly, "We came looking for you guys as soon as the sun rose …"
"I'm glad that you guys are fine."
The middle-aged man took a good look at them while smiling. He noticed Ye Chen and frowned. "Who is he?"
At the same time, the few people behind him also looked at Ye Chen. There was a hint of wariness in their eyes.
Qing Qing immediately told him what had happened, "Father, Brother Ye is our savior …"
She then introduced Ye Chen, "Brother Ye, this is my father, Yang Hong …"
"I'm Ye Chen …" Ye Chen introduced himself.
"So, it's you, Brother Ye!"
Yang Hong and the rest were less hostile toward Ye Chen after understanding what happened. "Since you're my son's savior, why don't you come to Man Zhai Village and rest for a while?"
Ye Chen nodded while smiling. Of course, he was willing to.
…
Soon, Ye Chen arrived at Man Zhai Village with Yang Hong and the rest.
The village was huge with up to 1,000 families. There was also a stone statue next to the big pagoda tree at the entrance of the village. It was inconspicuous as if it was a watchstone.
The village was spacious, but the decorations were a little crude. Most of them were made of stone, and there were even courtyards made of animal bones.
As soon as Ye Chen entered the village, he saw many hunting teams returning. Some of them were carrying an Earth Dragon that looked like a giant lizard.
"Old Yang, I told you that your son is still here. If I didn't stop you last night, you would've carried the stone statue out to look for him. "
A burly man carrying a giant savage beast joked with Yang Hong, and the rest of the people laughed along with him.
On the other hand, Qing Shan's eyes were slightly red. He looked at Yang Hong's back as if he was touched.
The stone statues in the village were as heavy as ten thousand catties. Ordinary people wouldn't even be able to move them, let alone carry them. Although his father was one of the best in the village, it would still be difficult for him to carry a stone statue.
"Old Yang is back …"
"Hu Zi, get your ass over here."
"A bunch of idiots. You went out to hunt and didn't come back in time. You made everyone worry for the whole night …"
Many people rushed out from every corner of the village, pulling their ears and cursing as they led their children back.
In the village, the Yang family.
Yang Hong's father, who was known as the Elder, had white hair and a hunched back. He looked at Ye Chen and said, "Young man, although I don't know where you came from, I can tell that you're not an ordinary person. Our village will always repay your kindness. I just hope that you won't bring us any trouble."
His eyes were cloudy, and his teeth were about to fall off. However, his gaze was incomparably sinister, and no one dared to underestimate him.
"Elder, you're being too serious."
Ye Chen smiled kindly. "I have no ill intentions towards your village. I'll leave after staying for a while. I won't disturb your life."
"Our Barbarian Village doesn't take care of idle people. Aside from the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, all men and women must go out to hunt. Those who are gluttonous and lazy will be driven out …"
"You saved Qing Qing and the others, we will naturally repay you generously."
The old Barbarian Elder nodded slightly. "During these three days, you can eat and drink for free in our house, but once the three days are over, if you want to stay, then you must go out and work like the others."
"I understand."
Ye Chen nodded and smiled.
For the rest of the time, Ye Chen stayed in Barbarian Village. Although the villagers were surprised by his arrival, they still welcomed him after knowing that he had saved people.
Many children in the village and Qing Shan and the rest would surround Ye Chen when they were free, begging him to teach them some martial arts.
In response, Ye Chen taught them some body refining techniques. Although they could not achieve immortality directly, it was a piece of cake for them to cultivate it to perfection. They could pierce the moon in the sky and capture dragons in the sea.
In the past few days, he had gained a deeper understanding of this world once again.
Almost everyone in the village cultivated body-refining techniques. They did not have the concept of Qi Refinement. They only pursued martial arts to kill wild beasts and birds with ten-picul bows.
In reality, they could not even cultivate Qi Refinement if they wanted to. Even Ye Chen realized that the True Origin Energy in his body had weakened to the Nascent Soul stage on the third day he arrived in Barbarian Village.
If this continued, his True Origin Energy would be completely drained in less than a month. By then, he might not even be able to open his storage ring.
Meanwhile, they categorized their cultivation stage into barbarian apprentice, barbarian soldier, barbarian master, great barbarian master, barbarian king, barbarian emperor, barbarian venerable, barbarian saint …
For example, Qing Shan, the outstanding young man from Barbarian Village, only had a cultivation base of a barbarian soldier. The person with the highest cultivation base in the village was Yang Hong's father, who was Qing Shan's grandfather. He was a great barbarian master.
"This place is as big as China?" Ye Chen found out from the old man in the village.
He could not help but release a sigh of relief.
China had an area of 9.6 million square kilometers. It was over 5,000 kilometers from the south to the north. Meanwhile, the Forbidden Ocean was only over 5,000 kilometers from the north to the south.
That saved him a lot of time looking for Wushuang. After all, the map was only that big. He could find it after spending some time.
"I've traveled outside Barbarian Village when I was young …"
The person who was talking to Ye Chen was an old man in the village. He had lived for 200 years, making him the oldest person in the village.
Although he was also 200 years old, he seemed to be in good spirits. He was much more knowledgeable than the people in the village.
Ye Chen's eyes flickered. "You're saying that people live in tribes here?"
"That's right!"
The old man's voice was clear. "Barbarian Village and the dozen villages around us belong to the Dark Dragon Tribe. I heard that the tribe's elder has lived for 500 years. He has the cultivation base of a barbarian king …"
"Woo woo …"
As he spoke, the sound of a horn suddenly resounded in the village. It was extremely oppressive, and it instantly alerted the entire Barbarian Village.
The old man's eyes lit up and his lips moved slightly. "The horn is blown three times. The people from the Dark Dragon Tribe are here …"
…
At the entrance of Barbarian Village, all the villagers were gathered. They stood in an orderly manner. Regardless of their gender, age, or gender, all of them stared at the two people in front with their eyes wide open.
They were a man and a woman. The man was a young man, and the aura he exuded made the people feel pressured.
Meanwhile, the woman was extremely young. She wore a long gown made of goose down, revealing her fair neck. Qing Shan and the rest in the crowd were drooling when they saw her.
As the elder, Yang Hong's father took a step forward and said in a trembling voice, "May I know why Master Wu is here?"
The young man looked at the elder and took out a portrait. "The Great Barbarian Elder has ordered that from today onwards, all villages, including your Barbarian Village, are to investigate this person closely!"
The woman beside him chuckled. "If you have any accurate information, the Great Barbarian Elder will personally cleanse your meridians after you report it to him. You will also be rewarded handsomely!"
The moment she said that, everyone's eyes widened as if they were shocked. Their eyes were filled with excitement.
Who was the Great Barbarian Elder?
He was the true ruler of Dark Dragon Tribe. He was also the only Berserker King in Dark Dragon Tribe. In the eyes of the villagers, he was no different from a god.
However, the reward this time would allow the Great Barbarian Elder to personally cleanse his meridians, as well as other rewards!
How could everyone not be tempted by that?
As the young man with the surname Wu opened the portrait, a man with a green face and fangs was revealed. His appearance scared many children so much that they started crying.
Ye Chen, who was in the crowd, had a strange expression on his face when he saw that. "Ying came to the Forbidden Ocean too?"
…
