Dawn broke in the early morning. Before the silent curtain of night had dispersed, the entire Wasteland was still shrouded in darkness. However, the Guyuan Tribe was already bustling with activity. With a creaking sound, the 30-foot-tall stone gate was slowly raised to the highest point by several strong men. Then, dozens of hunting teams made up of men rushed out of the tribe and ran towards the Wasteland in all directions.
The Guyuan Tribe was not large, but it still occupied a radius of more than 10 miles. At this moment, the tribe was already bustling with people. The women were already sweating profusely as they cooked the beast meat in pots and prepared the morning food for the tribesmen.
On the drill ground below the stone tower, the sound of horses galloping could be heard. There were at least 2,000 strong men. They were bare-chested, holding iron spears, spears, sabers, and swords in their hands. Although it was still early in the morning, these men were already sweating profusely. They roared loudly and their vigor was like clouds. Every step they took caused the ground to rumble, and their voices were like fierce tigers that shook the sky.
On top of the stone tower that was several tens of zhang tall, a green silhouette stood against the wind. His jet-black long hair had already reached his shoulders, and his green leather armor was making loud noises in the wind. Xiao Chen looked at the scene of the guardian soldiers training in the drill ground below. Suddenly, his heart was filled with lofty sentiments!
This was Xiao Chen's tribe!
This was his root in this world!
A real man should be a hero. Perhaps it was Xiao Chen's destiny in this life to gallop across the Wasteland!
This Wasteland was too vast. It was a land with a radius of hundreds of millions of miles. With the current power of the Guyuan Tribe, it only occupied an area of 3,000 miles. Moreover, it was hidden in the Giant Rock Valley. Compared to the vast Wasteland, it was like a drop in the ocean. Even the entire Giant Rock Valley was like duckweed compared to the Wasteland.
Here, the Human Tribe's soldiers fought against the foreign tribes and protected the land they relied on for survival. Now that he, Xiao Chen, had arrived in this Wasteland, how could he be muddle-headed? He would fight all the foreign tribes in the world. He would have no regrets even if he had to die on the battlefield!
It was already five days later. Everything in the Guyuan Tribe was back on track. Coupled with the continuous destruction of the surrounding hostile tribes, the territory occupied by the tribe continued to expand. The tribesmen hunted the Wasteland every day and obtained more resources than before. The development of the tribe was just around the corner.
Just three days ago, Xiao Chen personally led 500 soldiers and uprooted the Black Snake Tribe thousands of miles to the east of the tribe. The entire Black Snake Tribe had tens of thousands of tribesmen. Except for the diehard members of the Black Snake Tribe, the rest had become the Guyuan Tribe's prisoners.
Xiao Chen was not soft-hearted towards these human compatriots. He was particular about repaying evil with good. Some hatred could not be erased by the destruction of the tribes. Seeing that they were fellow humans, Xiao Chen did not order a massacre. Instead, he demoted all of them to slaves of the Guyuan Tribe to collect minerals and medicinal stones for the tribe.
Of course, during this trip to the Black Snake Tribe, Xiao Chen and the others were still concerned about the tribe's ruins hidden under the Black Snake Tribe. However, things did not go according to their wishes. Although they found the entrance to the ruins in the Black Snake Tribe's courtyard, for some unknown reason, the entrance was covered by a layer of invisible energy. It isolated the ruins from the outside world. No matter how hard Xiao Chen tried, he could not break through the shackles and enter the ruins. Helpless, Xiao Chen could only temporarily give up on entering the ruins. He attributed this to his own strength being too weak to break through the energy shackles.
However, the amount of resources seized after uprooting two tribes was incomparably huge. Even if the Guyuan Tribe did not eat or drink for hundreds of years, they would not be able to accumulate so many resources. This made Xiao Chen sigh with emotion. If the Guyuan Tribe relied on themselves to accumulate resources, who knew how long it would take? In the process of primitive capital accumulation, bloody killings were unavoidable.
With this huge amount of resources at the bottom, the Guyuan Tribe could be said to have ushered in a golden age. Under Xiao Chen's orders, cultivation resources were provided to the tribesmen almost at all costs. Almost every day, there were tribesmen tempering and refining their bodies, breaking through to the Bone Honing Realm, and joining the Guardian Soldiers. In a short five days, the Guardian Soldiers of the Guyuan Tribe had increased to more than three thousand troops. There were more than three thousand two hundred people, and this number was still increasing.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen, who was at the top of the stone pagoda, pointed his finger forward. A ray of green light left his finger and shot towards a bronze bell not far away.
"Clang clang clang!
Clang clang clang!
Clang clang clang! "
Nine consecutive heavy sounds of the bell instantly resounded throughout the Guyuan Tribe, reaching the ears of every tribesman.
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, several elders, managers, and centurions of the Gu Yuan Tribe hurried over and walked into the tribe's main hall. Fortunately, the main hall was extremely spacious. More than a hundred core members of the Gu Yuan Tribe sat in it, so it did not seem crowded.
The current Gu Yuan Tribe was no longer the weak tribe that was on the brink of extinction a year ago. In just one year, under Xiao Chen's leadership, the Gu Yuan Tribe had not only uprooted the surrounding hostile tribes, but also expanded the actual territory controlled by the Gu Yuan Tribe by several times. Now, the Gu Yuan Tribe was a powerful tribe that spanned thousands of miles and had thousands of soldiers. Even in this Boulder Valley, it could be ranked at the top. This was a miracle.
Not only that, the Guyuan Tribe now had nine Blood Refining Realm chiliarchs and more than a hundred Bone Tempering Realm centurions.
At this moment, in the hall, the Great Elder, Tie Shi, was the leader. The Second Elder, Lin Shan, and the Third Elder, Xiao Tan, sat on the left and right sides respectively. The rest of the Blood Refining Realm warriors sat behind them in order, while the rest of the tribe stewards and centurions sat below in order.
Two days ago, the Second Elder, Lin Shan, and Tie Wen, who were originally recuperating in Duanmu City, finally rushed back to the tribe. They did not expect that they would miss the battle with the Black Snake Kuishui Tribe, which made them feel extremely regretful. It was worth mentioning that with the help of Xiao Chen, Tie Wen had also successfully broken through to the Bone Tempering Realm and became the ninth Blood Refining Realm warrior of the Guyuan Tribe.
At this moment, a green figure appeared outside the hall. He was still wearing the same green leather armor, but his aura had undergone a tremendous change compared to a year ago. His horns were towering, and he exuded a powerful aura. This aura was unique to those who had the power to control the life and death of tens of thousands of people.
The great hall sank into silence. Everyone's gazes were focused on this azure figure. Xiao Chen walked slowly, each step filled with power. He arrived before the tall stone chair in the center of the great hall. Then, he spun around and sat down on it without a care in the world.
