Na Mu's expression darkened when he saw the appearance of the half beast men. He pulled me to leave, but just as I took a step, I heard the half beast men call out his name.
"Obi!
Isn't this the genius of Green Water Village, Na Mu? "
Na Mu's footsteps stopped and a trace of anger flashed across his face. I asked him about the identity of the half beast men.
"They're from the Jackal tribe from the neighboring village."
Na Mu turned his head and glared at me before continuing. "These Jackal tribe members are despicable and lowly. They often bully our sisters in the village. When the village chief found out about this, he taught them a lesson. I was also present at that time."
I then understood that it was the same as the human race. There were such hooligans everywhere. These kinds of people were the hardest to deal with as they found joy in finding trouble with others. No wonder Na Mu's expression turned ugly when he saw them.
From their unbridled attitude, their cultivation shouldn't be any lower than Na Mu's. I sensed their aura and found that it was indeed so. Their cultivation was the same as Na Mu's. The leader was slightly higher, but he hadn't reached the Monster Spirit realm.
Na Mu was the strongest among the younger generation of Green Water Village. From this, it could be seen that the Jackal tribe's power was much higher than the Dog tribe's.
I naturally wasn't interested in their grudges, but when I looked at them, I suddenly noticed that the leader of the Jackal tribe had a few green leaves that were similar to the Thousand Leaves Ai Ling in the picture.
It couldn't be such a coincidence that the Thousand Leaves Ai Ling was snatched away by them?
Originally, I didn't intend to fight with them as this was the Monster race's territory. It was better to avoid trouble, but if the Thousand Leaves Ai Ling was taken away by them, then I must take it back.
While I was thinking, the leader of the Jackal tribe jumped down from the monster's back and took the initiative to find trouble with me. He asked Na Mu, "Who is this brat?
Why haven't I seen him in Green Water Village before? "
After saying that, he extended his hand and hugged my shoulder. He had a smile on his face as he continuously increased his strength.
Even though I was heavily injured, my physical body had recovered a little. His strength naturally wasn't enough, so I didn't mind. However, Na Mu's face flushed red as he angrily shouted, "Gale, don't hurt my friend!"
As he spoke, Nam's body shook violently and he bared his teeth.
Earlier on, Nam had introduced to me that the Houndhead Men's strongest trait was their mouthful of sharp teeth. It was a natural talent of their race.
Although there was a gap between his cultivation level and Gale's, but if he was bitten by these sharp teeth, Gale wouldn't feel good.
Gale immediately let go of me when he saw Nam suddenly making things difficult for him. He took the initiative to push Nam a few meters away, then with a face full of disgust, he shouted: "Obie!
You lowly races are so rude. "
As he spoke, he continuously wiped the palm that he used to slap Nam on his chest.
Nam ignored his disgusting face and quickly went to my side to ask about my situation.
I stared at Gale's chest as I told Naam I was fine.
During the short exchange between him and Nam, due to the intense movements of his body, the herb on his chest was revealed. This time, I could confirm that the herb on his chest was the Thousand Leaves Arborvitae that we had painstakingly searched for.
After confirming this, I started to think about how to snatch the herb from his hands.
Without waiting for me to come up with an idea, Gale continued to ridicule me from the side.
"Nam, although you Houndhead Men are a lowly race, you are still a genius among the Houndhead Men. How could you be friends with this kind of trash without any cultivation?
I think that your village should really be removed. Your strength is getting weaker and weaker. Obie!
You've really lost the face of our wolf clan. "
Nam had previously told me that their Green Water Village, including Rock City, belonged to the wolf clan. That's why Gale said that.
Hearing Gale's words, Nam's face became even angrier, but he still didn't flare up. He coldly replied, "Gale, don't think that you can be arrogant just because your sister entered Saade Academy.
Whether my Green Water Village is removed or not, it's not up to you. "
When Gale heard Nam's rebuttal, he didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled and continued. "Hehe, I've received insider information. If no one from your Green Water Village passes Saade Academy's selection this year, the city lord will consider removing Green Water Village.
If that happens, the city lord will consider removing Green Water Village and turn it into a hunting ground. "
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Nam, whose face was flushed with anger. He jumped back onto the monster beast and brought the two people with him down the mountain.
After they left, Nam stood there motionlessly for a long time. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood. His face was filled with sadness, most likely related to Gale's words.
I wanted Qianye Ai Ling, but it was clear that Gale wouldn't give it to me. This matter could only be resolved by force. However, from the previous conversation, it was clear that the Jackal tribe's power was much greater than the Houndhead Men's. If this matter brought trouble to the Houndhead Men's tribe, then I would be letting Nam down. Therefore, I had to do this secretly.
Actually, when Gale hugged my shoulder, I had already placed a Dao Qi imprint on his body. It was a small spell that I could easily cast with my current cultivation. As long as the imprint was there, I would be able to sense Gale's location.
That's why I wasn't in a hurry. I asked Nam what was the reason behind the removal of Green Water Village.
Hearing my question, the sadness on Nam's face deepened. He fiercely shouted "Ou Bi!" before telling me the story.
He told me that the Houndhead Men Tribe was born with power and status. Most of the Houndhead Men Tribe were slaves of other Monster races. In the Monster race's world where power was everything, they were bullied.
Their Green Water Village was the best among the Houndhead Men Tribe. However, in terms of power, they were still the weakest in the Rock City's jurisdiction.
In the Monster race, the strong preyed on the weak. Basically, every city had an elimination law. Every few years, the village with the weakest power would be removed from the surrounding villages.
Without the protection of the village tribe, the villagers would lose their homes. They could only enter the city and sell their bodies to become slaves of other Monster races.
This was also the reason why the majority of the Houndhead Men were slaves.
Not only the Houndhead Men, but the majority of the weaker Monster race were slaves of the stronger Monster races.
Green Water Village's current situation was entirely due to the Village Chief and Uncle Qu Wang's hard work.
However, ever since the barrier between the Monster race and the human race was removed, the Monster race placed more emphasis on the power of the younger generation. Hence, the elimination law became more stringent. It was linked to the entrance exam of Thaad Academy.
After saying that, Nam was sad and full of self-blame. "It's all my fault for being playful and not working hard to cultivate. Otherwise, I would definitely be able to pass Thaad Academy's entrance exam and save my village."
After listening to him, I understood why he was so eager to pass Thaad Academy's entrance exam. It turned out that he was carrying such a heavy responsibility.
I pondered. Nam had saved my life. With my original cultivation, it wouldn't be a problem for me to help him increase his realm. However, I couldn't do that under the current situation. It seemed that I had to quickly get Qianye Ai Ling from Gale.
As I pondered, I tried to sense the position of the mark that I had left on Gale's body. He wasn't too far away from us. In order to avoid suspicion, it wasn't a good time to make a move.
I couldn't bear to look at Nam's sad expression, so I changed the topic and asked him curiously. "Just now, Gale kept saying 'Obi'. You also said it just now. What does that word mean?"
After hearing that, the sadness on Nam's face dissipated. He awkwardly asked me, "You've never heard of that word before?"
I shook my head.
Nam embarrassedly smiled. After thinking for a while, he stammered, "It's probably because you've been by Master's side since young that you rarely come into contact with other people … This word, how do I say it? It's something that you would say when you're talking about something … But it's not a good word. You mustn't learn to say it."
Actually, even without Nam's explanation, I could roughly understand that this word was most likely a vulgar word that was related to the lower body organs. It was used to vent one's emotions. I purposely asked to dilute Nam's sadness.
Seeing that his expression had recovered, I chuckled and didn't continue the topic. Instead, I suggested to Nam to search the surroundings to see if we could find any herbs.
It was obvious that Gale's Qianye Ai Ling was found nearby. If we could find some, it would be best if we didn't clash with Gale for the time being. That was why I suggested it.
However, before the two of us could do anything, there was a sudden gust of wind and a fishy smell permeated the air.
