The cold wind whistled, and the thick layer of clouds swallowed the sky and locked down the sun. Between the heavens and the earth was a boundless expanse, and it seemed as if there was no end to it. In the distance, the endless mountains and rivers rose and fell continuously, and the desolate ancient forest was densely covered in darkness. It seemed like a dark and bloody mouth that intended to swallow everything.
From time to time, shrill cries could be heard from the depths of the desolate forest. There seemed to be tens of thousands of ghosts howling in the dark forest.
There was a majestic troop advancing in the vast wilderness. There were over a hundred thousand humans. Looking down from the sky from afar, they looked like a slithering snake.
This was the migration troop of the Gu Yuan Tribe. These tribesmen were either riding on mounts or sitting in carriages. They were surrounded by armoured and armed soldiers to prevent ferocious beasts from emerging from the wilderness. Their leather armours fluttered in the strong wind, but their gazes were firm as they stood coldly in the cold wind.
Above the crowd, there was a golden flame that constantly flickered back and forth. Finally, the golden flame landed on a 300-meter-tall mountain at the side of the human tribe.
At this moment, a figure shot towards the top of the mountain. The person looked weary and tired.
"First Elder, why are you in such a hurry? Have you encountered an emergency?"
"Rest assured, Tribe Leader. Everything is normal. Fortunately, the tribe has soldiers as the vanguard to scout the path ahead for the tribesmen. It's just some low-tier ferocious beasts that have emerged from the forest by the side of the road!"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen was relieved. Along the way, the troop of over a hundred thousand people had encountered endless dangers. The appearance of such a large troop in the wilderness had alarmed some ferocious beasts. Fortunately, the troop had advanced along the edge of the dangerous mountain range, and the strongest ferocious beasts they had encountered were only Two-star ferocious beasts.
Xiao Chen set off with the remaining twenty thousand tribesmen. Due to the sufficient number of mounts, they quickly caught up to the migration troop. The tribe could be said to have suffered many hardships along the way. Currently, they were less than three thousand miles away from the nameless valley where they were hiding.
Through the scouts scattered across the wilderness, they found no traces of human soldiers on the way to the Gu Yuan Tribe. It seemed that Tiemo had not gathered his troops to attack the Gu Yuan Tribe.
This also allowed Xiao Chen to relax slightly. In just one more day, the Gu Yuan Tribe would reach their hiding place. All he had to do now was to settle down his clansmen. Then, he would be able to properly deal with Tie Mo. How could he flee like a cowardly tortoise after the humiliation of being forced to leave his home?
Even though Xiao Chen was not strong enough to resist Tiemo, it was still necessary to collect some interest.
On the second day after Xiao Chen left the tribe, the slaves of the Gu Yuan Tribe led by Ding Shan and Shi Ya had already separated from Xiao Chen. They led the slaves to the extreme east of the Giant Rock Valley and directly entered the Savage Ancient Forest. At the same time, in order to create a better illusion that over a hundred thousand people were fleeing in a hurry, Xiao Chen once again sent out the little Celestial Horse to collect ten thousand horse-type ferocious beasts. In addition to the original chariot mounts of the tribe, a large fleeing troop was thus formed. As for the wine that could confuse Tiemo, Xiao Chen was not sure.
"Great Elder, those small tribes and scattered Wanderers along the way have all been taken care of!"
Even though Xiao Chen had chosen some of the more desolate roads in the wilderness, there were still small wandering tribes that appeared. In order to hide their tracks, these small tribes were either forcibly annexed by the Ancient Yuan tribe or slaughtered to the last man.
"Rest assured, Chief. The Blood Refining Realm warriors of the tribe have already brought many soldiers to investigate within a radius of a hundred miles. Almost all the Human Clan Wanderers or small Human Clan tribes that have been discovered have been recruited into our tribe. As for those who dare to disobey, they have all been killed!"
At the end of his sentence, Tie Wen's eyes were filled with a strong killing intent.
"Great Elder, I have already placed the food on a giant rock in front of us. In a while, I will order the soldiers to distribute it. Rest for a while, then hurry up and try to reach that nameless valley by evening. I have just received news from Huang Liang that they have already entered that nameless valley. It is big enough to hide over a hundred thousand people of our Gu Yuan Tribe!"
It had to be said that the space of Xiao Chen's Seal of Mountains and Rivers was magical. If he had not fled this time, he seemed to have forgotten that he had brought such a huge space with him. This huge space was enough to accommodate a lot of things. Along the way, the entire tribe was light and simple. This was also the reason why over a hundred thousand people could migrate so quickly with their families.
All the food and supplies of the tribe had been collected by Xiao Chen into the space. All the mounts and carriages of the tribe had been used to transport people. Even if there were women and children, without the burden of the supplies, how could they not be fast? This was something that Tie Mo had never expected.
Not only that, but Xiao Chen had also plundered the two red copper mines and the star-patterned iron mines in the original territory of the Gu Yuan Tribe. He had even plundered the Herb Mountain Range. How could he care about draining the pond to catch the fish? He had even collected some medicinal herbs that had not reached maturity. How could the things of the Gu Yuan Tribe be so easily taken away by outsiders?
While the Gu Yuan Tribe was traveling through wind and rain, in the Stone Castle in the center of the Messy Stone Region, tens of thousands of miles away …
At this moment, the sound of singing and dancing could be heard. There were beautiful young girls dancing in the center of the hall. They toasted each other and chatted merrily. Their words were not restrained at all. It seemed like everyone was putting the Human Race's righteousness first. They were willing to shed blood for the sake of the Human Race's reproduction, even if they had to die ten thousand times. The Gu Yuan Tribe was just a bunch of clay chickens and pottery dogs. When the alliance army arrived, they immediately collapsed. Xiao Chen's head was chopped off.
At this moment, in a remote corner of the great hall, a figure dressed like a ranger appeared. His eyes were blurry, as if he had been intoxicated by the endless wine and women. However, if one looked closely, one could see a glimmer of light in his slightly narrowed eyes.
This person turned out to be the Gu Yuan Tribe's newly advanced Blood Refining Realm warrior, Xiao Lin. At this moment, he had appeared among the alliance army that Tie Mo had sent to encircle the Gu Yuan Tribe. Not only that, but he was even holding a beautiful woman in his arms. He was whispering and rubbing against her, but he only took a sip of the wine.
The service in the great hall was very attentive. If the warriors who came were too drunk and collapsed on the stone table, there would be a young girl who would help them to the back of the great hall.
After a long time, Xiao Lin stood up and bowed to Tie Mo, who was sitting on the main seat, indicating that he was too drunk. Then, he staggered out of the great hall and politely declined the young girl who was serving him. He walked to a corner of the stone castle, as if he wanted to show his respect. This caused the young girl behind him to laugh at him, and she blushed as she walked to the side.
When the people behind him had all left, Xiao Lin's eyes flickered. There was no trace of drunkenness left in him. His figure flickered as he dodged the guards of the stone castle and entered the endless tents outside.
