At this moment, the centurion couldn't help but size up the young cultivator in front of him. Blood Qi gushed towards him like an abyss. The young man's face seemed to be weathered from staying in the Desolate Ancient Forest for too long. His grey beast skin robe was filled with small burnt holes, giving him a valiant look.
However, when he saw the young Heavenly Horse beside Xiao Chen, the centurion was shocked. Although he had never seen a real Heavenly Horse before, he instantly knew the identity of the young Heavenly Horse in front of him from the ancient legends of the human race. The Heavenly Horse's entire body was golden, as if it was cast from gold. Its mane shone with a golden light. Although it was only three feet tall, it gave off an invisible aura. Especially the two slowly rotating stars between its eyebrows, it proved that this Heavenly Horse's strength was enough to rival human Blood Refining cultivators. It was already at the Two Star Wind Controlling Realm before it reached adulthood. It was obvious that its bloodline was noble and extraordinary. However, the person who was able to subdue it was even more extraordinary.
In a verdant valley, there was an ancient wooden building that had just been built. It was still emitting a rich and fresh aura. Here, Xiao Chen saw the leader of this new tribe. He was an old man named Xiu Yuan. His strength was only at the Mid Blood Refining Realm. He was originally a wanderer who wandered the Great Desolate for dozens of years. At the end of his life, he finally had a bit of foundation. He gathered the bloodline of the human race who had wandered the Great Desolate and established this human battle division.
Speaking of which, the reason why this old man was able to establish this low-ranked battle division so smoothly was because of the eruption of the Outsider Race's resentful spirits. Within the tens of thousands of miles of the Great Desolate, countless human tribes had wandered about, giving him the opportunity to gather his people.
According to this old man, on the day he was kidnapped by the remnants of Otaku, there were seventy-three Blood Refining Realm human warriors who had encircled the Outsider Race. Only a few of them had chased the Outsider Race into the Desolate Mountain Range for thousands of miles. The rest had scattered, and the Demon Extermination Conference had ended prematurely. This was also within Xiao Chen's expectations.
However, this wasn't what Xiao Chen was concerned about. What he cared about was the news about the Great Elder of the Treasure Elephant Tribe, Xiang Mo. As expected, the news of Xiang Mo's death had shaken the Great Desolate. Even the Elders of the top ten tribes had lost their lives. This could be said to be the heaviest loss for the tribes in the Great Desolate Valley in the past hundreds of years.
However, the Treasure Elephant Tribe was a large and influential clan. They didn't investigate the cause of Xiang Mo's death. They just thought that he was unlucky and died at the hands of the Outsider Race. This news made Xiao Chen feel relieved.
At this moment, inside the wooden house, two bare-footed young girls were strolling in, bringing with them the fragrance of wild vegetation. A pair of soft white hands brought over two cups of green tea and placed one in front of Xiao Chen. The cyan beast skin skirt only covered up to her perky buttocks, a large patch of white skin swayed in front of Xiao Chen's eyes. At this moment, the two of them were sneaking glances at Xiao Chen from time to time with their red cheeks.
They didn't understand why the young man in front of them was so powerful. Why was their Lord Clan Leader so respectful towards him? Their Lord Clan Leader was a mid Blood Refining Realm expert. Could it be that this young man who exuded the aura of a majestic mountain was stronger than their Lord Clan Leader?
In the wooden house, a young pegasus was lying beside Xiao Chen's seat. It was lying in front of Xiao Chen with its wings folded. It didn't seem to care about its surroundings. Even so, its golden body still attracted the attention of others.
Xiu Yuan, who was sitting in the seat of honor, looked deeply at Xiao Chen. With his eyesight, he could see that this pegasus had the strength of a Two Star Wind Colt. It hadn't formed an Eternal Contract yet. In other words, it was an ownerless mount!
"Lord Xiu, have you heard of the news of a bronze chariot being pulled by a Two Star Roaring Flame Beast?"
"Your Excellency is asking about the two bronze chariots pulled by a Two Star Roaring Flame Beast, right?"
"That's right!"
When Xiao Chen had entered the valley to fight the Mutated Tribe, he hadn't brought the bronze chariot with him. Instead, he had left it in the care of a centurion of the tribe. This place was originally an important place for the Gu Yuan Tribe to gather information. The Gu Yuan Tribe had even scattered more than a dozen scouts here. Thus, before the battle, Xiao Chen had left the bronze chariot in the care of a centurion of the Gu Yuan Tribe.
However, he hadn't expected that he would be held hostage by the remnant beast in the depths of the Desolate Mountain Range. He hadn't returned for several days. Originally, the centurion of the tribe had a Two Star Roaring Flame Beast, which was enough to deal with ordinary thieves. However, at this moment, Xiao Chen was frowning.
"It's said that the owner of this bronze chariot has been held hostage by the remnant beast and has entered the Desolate Mountain Range. I'm afraid that he has met with misfortune. However, the Two Star Roaring Flame Beast and the bronze chariot are good mounts. Thus, it has caused many tribal warriors and rangers to fight over them. Could it be that Your Excellency is interested in the Roaring Flame Beast?"
As he spoke, Xiu Yuan couldn't help but look at the pony that was lying at Xiao Chen's feet and using its feathers to cover its head. With such a mount, the mere Roaring Flame Beast was nothing.
"Since the remnant beast of the Mutated Tribe has escaped to the Desolate Mountain Range, the Great Elder of the Treasure Elephant Tribe and the elders of several other tribes have been killed on the spot. Doesn't this mean that the Tribe Slaying Demon Convention has failed? Moreover, although the remnant beast of the Mutated Tribe hasn't been killed, it has been severely injured. It won't be able to wreak havoc in the Desolate Mountain Range for the next year and a half. Why are there still so many warriors coming here?"
"Your Excellency, you might not know this, but because the remnant beast of the Mutated Tribe has been severely injured, some of the tribes want to come out and pick the fruits of their labor. Now, many warriors have come here. It's said that they want to enter the Desolate Mountain Range and kill the remnant beast of the Mutated Tribe!"
"What a good plan!"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile playfully. It seemed that these tribes had used the lives of many Wanderers to gather information about the Mutated Tribe. Only then did they prepare to attack. Now that he thought about it, Xiang Mo had come to scout ahead. It was just that he was unlucky enough to be killed by Xiao Chen.
At this moment, Xiao Chen couldn't help but recall that Xiang Mo had said that a battle envoy from the Iron Hoof Tribe had arrived. It seemed that all of this was related to the battle envoy from the Iron Hoof Tribe.
"Two days ago, there was news that the bronze chariot had been seized by the infatuated Xue Sha. However, the centurion who was driving the chariot was not harmed!"
"Infatuated Xue Sha?"
Hearing that his clansmen had not been harmed, Xiao Chen felt relieved. As for the Roaring Flame Beast and the bronze chariot, he could just take them back. It was fine as long as his clansmen were safe.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Chen nodded at the Xiu Yuan Tribe Leader, got up, and walked out of the wooden building. He didn't care about the shyness in the eyes of the two girls behind him. To these girls, they understood that if they could serve a powerful warrior, they wouldn't have to worry about their survival in the future, let alone such a young warrior.
Seeing the two girls, Xiu Yuan couldn't help but feel moved. "Your Excellency, why don't you rest in my tribe for a day? Let them serve you well. Don't worry, Your Excellency, they are unmarried."
Frowning slightly, Xiao Chen waved his hand and left the wooden building. He understood Xiu Yuan's intentions. He just wanted to build a relationship with Xiao Chen.
"Thank you for your kindness, Tribe Leader. I appreciate it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen's figure had already swept past the corner of the valley. Under the disappointed gazes of the two girls, his figure gradually disappeared.
