The Gu Yuan Tribe.
The setting sun was like fire, and smoke curled up in spirals. The aroma of meat wafted through the entire tribe. The old walls of the tribe had been eroded for hundreds of years and were as smooth as a mirror under the light of the setting sun. They were covered with black spots, which were dried bloodstains that had merged with the entire mountain wall.
At this moment, there was an open space in a corner of the tribe that occupied a radius of several hundred feet. As soon as one approached, one could hear the buzzing sound of bowstrings vibrating. Nearly a hundred members of the Gu Yuan Tribe were practicing their archery skills at this moment. All of them were young, and they were all in their teens. They were surrounding a strong, dark-skinned man with a large bow on his back.
At this moment, the strong man was demonstrating his archery skills to the crowd. He picked up a hardwood bow that was as thick as an arm and nocked an arrow. The sparkling bowstring immediately turned into a full moon, and the arrow that was made of fine iron seemed to be alive in his hands. An astonishing aura erupted from the arrow, and before the arrow left the bowstring, an invisible force had already cut a hideous hole in the wooden pillar that was hundreds of feet away.
"As an archer, the heart and the bow are together, and the arrow follows the heart. The arrow is a living thing. Only by doing this can one achieve success in archery!"
Ever since he had agreed to Xiao Chen's request, Yuan Yu had not been lazy. The next day, he had already arrived at the archery field of the Gu Yuan Tribe early in the morning. At this moment, he had been pacing back and forth for several hours, continuously guiding the youths of the Gu Yuan Tribe in archery. For most people, as long as they practiced diligently, it would not take them long to reach the Sky-splitting Realm in the first realm of archery. However, the realms after the Sky-splitting Realm would depend on one's comprehension and luck. All he could do was guide these youths to a good start. After that, they could only rely on their own luck.
Let's not talk about how these youths were doing under Yuan Yu's guidance. At this moment, at the top of the stone tower in the center of the Gu Yuan Tribe, the Gu Yuan Tribe's meeting had yet to end. At this moment, fireworks had already been lit in the hall, brightly illuminating the entire hall. The afterglow of the setting sun did not diminish in the slightest.
"Since ancient times, the Human Race has been spied on by hundreds of races. It can be said that we face bloody battles at every moment. As the Human Race thrives in the Wasteland, all kinds of natural and man-made disasters emerge one after another. Therefore, the stronger our Gu Yuan Tribe becomes, the safer we will be in the Wasteland. Therefore, I've decided that every time a warrior in our tribe makes a breakthrough in the Wasteland, the tribe will reward them with corresponding resources after the Elders of Rewards have checked it out."
"If an ordinary clansman breaks through the Early-stage of the Bone Tempering Realm and passes the Warrior Assessment, the clan will reward him with a Bone Tempering Pill!"
"If a War Soldier breaks through from the early stage of the Bone Tempering Realm to the middle stage of the Bone Tempering Realm, and passes the assessment in the Skill Inheritance Palace, the clan will give two Bone Tempering Pills!"
"If a clansman breaks through to the level of a Corporal and passes the Hall of Rewards, the clan will reward him with three Bone Tempering Pills!"
"If a Corporal breaks through to the level of a Corporal and passes the Hall of Rewards, the clan will reward him with five Bone Tempering Pills!"
"If a Corporal breaks through to the level of a Half-Step Blood Refining Realm and passes the Hall of Rewards, the clan will help him break through to the Blood Refining Realm and become a Chiliarch!"
After thinking about it over and over again, Xiao Chen felt a heavy burden weighing down on him. In this Wasteland that didn't respect Immortals and Demons, nor did they serve Gods and Buddhas, he even wanted to pray that the seal on the Void Road of the Alien Race could last a little longer. At this moment, he had inherited the heavy responsibility of guarding the Void Road of the Alien Race, which meant that he had to shoulder the burden of the entire Giant Rock Valley. Of course, if he asked himself honestly, he, Xiao Chen, was not an ancient sage or a Supreme Human Emperor. He could risk everything for the Human Race and take on such a heavy burden. This was not only for the entire Human Race in the Giant Rock Valley, but also for his own tribe. After all, if the nest was overturned, no eggs would remain intact. How could he put his fate in the hands of others? He would only believe in himself!
If a man dies, his bird will face the sky; if he doesn't die, he will live forever!
Risking his life to come to this Wasteland was already the greatest anomaly. If he lived one more time, he would have to grasp his own fate in his own hands!
Therefore, he had to carry out his original idea of nurturing war through war even more thoroughly. After all, if he lost his life, what was the use of accumulating so many resources and treasures? At this moment, he didn't know whether he had kidnapped the entire Gu Yuan Tribe or if this land had pushed him into the endless color of blood!
In the eyes of Xiao Chen, who had experienced the baptism of a materialistic society in his later life, the ordinary people of this land were still too simple. It was very easy to use material rewards to stimulate the vitality of the people.
"Also, after the expansion of the Gu Yuan Tribe this time, it will occupy a radius of 20 miles. The resting place of the Hero Spirits of the Gu Yuan Tribe will also be included. I have already ordered the craftsmen of the tribe to build a new hall on the hill where the Hero Spirits were buried. It will be used to pay tribute to the ancestors of the Gu Yuan Tribe who have shed their blood in the Wasteland. Two more halls will also be built in the east of the Gu Yuan Tribe for me to use in the future."
At this moment, in this newly planned city, Xiao Chen had already built a resting place for the Sacrificial King Tripod that he had brought back from the underground city. He wanted to offer sacrifices to the destiny of the Human Race and guide the destiny of the Human Race to the Gu Yuan Tribe, laying the foundation for the Gu Yuan Tribe!
As for why he wanted to build two halls, one of them was to pay tribute to the hundreds of thousands of people of the Purple Snake War Division who had been buried under the endless wasteland. This was not only because he had promised Venerable Purple Snake, but also because the hundreds of thousands of people of the Purple Snake War Division who had risked their lives for the inheritance of the Human Race deserved it. Their blood had flowed dry, so how could their descendants let them become wandering ghosts?
No one in the Gu Yuan Tribe objected to Xiao Chen's decision. Offering sacrifices to the ancestors and martyrs was essential for every member of the tribe. The ancestors and martyrs were their roots in this land. Ever since they were born, they had never respected immortals, demons, or gods. They only believed in themselves. Although they had some doubts about the other hall, they did not speak up because they knew that Xiao Chen would not speak without reason.
"At the same time, in order to better stimulate the cultivation of the warriors in the tribe, I have also instructed the craftsmen in the tribe to build 20 stone gardens in the Gu Yuan Tribe. Each of these stone gardens covers an area of 1,000 feet and is for the chiliarchs in the tribe to live in!"
"Soldiers at the centurion level can build a smaller bluestone courtyard in the tribe as their living quarters!"
"Soldiers at the corporal level can get a bluestone house in the tribe as their living quarters!"
"As for ordinary people and soldiers, they can only live in bluestone houses!"
"Elders and chiliarchs, please tell the children in the tribe that strength is king in the Gu Yuan Tribe. If they want more rewards and better living quarters, they should quickly improve their strength. I will not be stingy with your rewards!"
