In front of the thatched cottage at the foot of the ancient mountain, several figures were sitting around a wooden stump. The wooden stump was used as a table, and the mottled rings on it showed the traces of time. There was tea in the ceramic cup on the table, exuding a rich fragrance.
"Clan Leader Xiao is indeed a person with great luck. It has only been a few months, and you have already broken through to the peak of the Third Heaven of the Heavenly Building Realm. Your accumulation is extraordinary. The strength of your middle-grade Gu Yuan Tribe is worthy of its name."
The old man, Luo Yunshan, looked at Xiao Chen and said with a smile, "It seems that it won't be long before you can surpass me and become the strongest person in the Fallen Dragon Ridge!"
"Senior, you're flattering me. You're the stabilizing force of the Luolong Ridge. All these years, if it weren't for the Fallen Dragon Bloodline guarding the easternmost part of the territory, the entire Luolong Ridge would be in an unknown state."
"Well, you and I don't need to flatter each other anymore."
The old man waved his hand slightly and continued, "Since the destruction of the Fallen Dragon Ancient City, the Fallen Dragon Ridge has been in decline for a long time. Now that Clan Leader Xiao has great ambitions, the future of the entire territory still depends on Clan Leader Xiao!"
"Clan Leader Xiao came this time for the Blue-eyed Leopardi in the depths of the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range, right?"
Xiao Chen nodded in agreement. Now that the Fallen Dragon Territory had been consolidated by the Ancient Yuan Tribe, the foreign races did not dare to complain. They could only hide in dangerous secret realms, afraid that the Ancient Yuan Tribe would send troops to surround and annihilate them. Compared to the era when the Aoshan War Division ruled, the Fallen Dragon Territory was even more peaceful.
In addition to collecting the annual tribute, the Gu Yuan Tribe treated the development of the various armies under their rule equally. They also encouraged the development of the vassal armies and did not deliberately suppress them. Therefore, except for some minor conflicts between the tribes, the entire Fallen Dragon Ridge had entered a period of recuperation.
The peak 3-Star ferocious beast in the depths of the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range, spying on the entire Fallen Dragon Territory, the Jade-Eyed Leopardi, could be said to be the only threat to the entire Fallen Dragon Territory. Hence, Xiao Chen wanted to kill it and eliminate this danger.
"This Blue-eyed Suanni can be considered a mutated species. It has the bloodline of the Scarlet Golden Lion, an ancient ferocious beast. According to the legends, during the Desolate Ancient Era, there was a Scarlet Golden Lion that had reached the Great Accomplishment stage. It had fought against a giant dragon and was infamous for its bloody flames."
Xiao Chen listened quietly to the old man's words, and Mu Qing leaned on his side, looking very well-behaved. No one could tell that this little girl was also a great warrior at the second level of the Heavenly Building realm.
Not bad!
When Xiao Chen went to the Desolate Border City, in two months, Mu Qing once again crossed the first heaven tribulation and advanced to the second heaven of the Chonglou Realm.
"My Fallen Dragon Territory is surrounded on all sides by the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range. However, the south and west sides of the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range are flat and relatively barren. On the other hand, the mountain range on the east side is continuous and endless. There are all kinds of treasures and spiritual objects. It is densely covered with dangerous places. It has also become a paradise for some vicious beasts."
"That Blue-eyed Suanni is in the Scarlet Fire Forest thirty thousand miles away. Apart from that, there are also three Three-star Ferocious Beasts occupying this land."
What!
A peak Three-star Blue-eyed Suanni has already disturbed the Fallen Dragon Ridge. There are actually three other Ferocious Beasts.
"Fortunately, the strength of these three Ferocious Beasts are at the intermediate Three-star level. Compared to us humans, Ferocious Beasts only have a simple sense of territory. Therefore, these Ferocious Beasts are not so harmonious with each other. It is common for them to attack each other. This is also the reason why this old man can survive under the covetous eyes of the four Ferocious Beasts."
"The other three Ferocious Beasts may know that they are not the opponent of the Blue-eyed Suanni, so they have been working together to resist the expedition of the Blue-eyed Suanni. This is also the reason why this old man did not kill these three Ferocious Beasts. I need them to restrain the Blue-eyed Suanni."
Four Three-star Ferocious Beasts, one peak Three-star, relying on the bloodline of the Ancient Ferocious Beasts, its combat power is comparable to a great warrior at the fifth level of the Heavenly Building realm. The rest are also comparable to a warrior at the third level of the Heavenly Building realm. Fortunately, they are not harmonious with each other. Otherwise, it would be a disaster for the Fallen Dragon Territory.
"Senior, this junior thinks that the greatest threat is still this Blue-eyed Suanni. As long as we kill it, the remaining three Ferocious Beasts will not be a problem!"
"That's right!"
"If you did not come, I was prepared to send Feng Yu to the Gu Yuan Tribe to invite you over."
"Why is that?"
"In the past ten years, this Blue-eyed Suanni has been irritable and a little abnormal. As early as a few years ago, this old man had already discovered that this Blue-eyed Suanni was pregnant when I fought it. Moreover, it is about to give birth to its young child. A few months after it gives birth, it will be at its weakest period. That will be our opportunity to attack."
"Oh!"
Xiao Chen's eyes were filled with surprise. He did not expect this Blue-eyed Suanni to be pregnant. Since this was the case, its strength would definitely drop by a level. This way, the chances of killing it would increase greatly.
"Since this Blue-eyed Suanni will be weak for a period of time, I'm afraid the other three Ferocious Beasts will not ignore it. I believe that a Ferocious Beast with the bloodline of the Scarlet Flame Golden Lion is a fatal temptation for them."
"That's right. Compared to the Ferocious Beasts' senses, I'm afraid that these three Ferocious Beasts have long known that this Blue-eyed Suanni is pregnant and are waiting for an opportunity to kill it. As the saying goes, when the sandpiper and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. All we need to do is to be the fisherman at the back!"
"Since that's the case, with Senior's strength, it's more than enough to be the fisherman. I'm afraid that I will only be the icing on the cake!"
"If the four Ferocious Beasts fall into a life-and-death battle, even if the Blue-eyed Suanni is in a weak state, I believe it will become even more ferocious under the threat of the safety of its young child. It will definitely be a lose-lose situation. With my strength, of course, it's more than enough to clean up the mess. However, this isn't what I'm worried about, but the deeper parts of the mountain range."
As the old man spoke, he raised his arm and pointed towards the deeper parts of the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range. The more dangerous Desolate Ancient Forest was filled with killing intent. It was a real bloody hunting ground.
"Senior, you're worried that there will be more powerful Ferocious Beasts coming to the depths of the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range to take a share of the loot!"
"That's right!"
The old man nodded and his expression became serious. This Blue-eyed Suanni was only the outermost overlord. According to the records of the sect, the deeper one went into the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range, the stronger the Ferocious Beasts would be. Within a hundred thousand miles, there were even Four-star Ferocious Beasts. Such Ferocious Beasts were monstrous and not something that they could resist.
Three months later.
In order to wait for the Blue-eyed Suanni to enter a weak state and become a competent fisherman, Xiao Chen and the others did not immediately go to the Red Fire Forest. Instead, they waited for three months.
However, the old man's sect was indeed worthy of being the descendant of the Fallen Dragon Ancient City. Although the ancient city had been destroyed, the heritage of the old man's sect was far from that of the Ancient Yuan Tribe.
During these three months, Xiao Chen flipped through some of the ancient books of the old man's sect. He even made a copy of some important annotations after obtaining the old man's consent.
What made Xiao Chen pleasantly surprised was that Xiao Chen found information about Void Battleships in the old man's pile of books. There were several large boxes filled with annotations on how to cast a battleship's hull and how to operate a battleship. These were like charcoal in snowy weather.
Not only that, but when the old man found out that the Ancient Yuan Tribe had obtained the broken Void Battleship left behind by the Fallen Dragon Ancient City, he gave all the books related to these battleships to Xiao Chen.
These were far more detailed and profound books than the battleship sacrificial drawing that Xiao Chen had obtained from the Desolate Border City. With these books, Xiao Chen believed that as long as the tribe's craftsmen thoroughly understood the information, the Ancient Yuan Tribe would definitely be able to cast their own Void Battleship when the Spiritual Material Mineral Vein was stocked.
During these three months, Xiao Chen also returned to the tribe several times to deal with some backlog of clan affairs and bring some books back to the tribe.
The Red Fire Forest.
It covered thousands of miles and was surrounded by mountains. On this land, there was only one kind of tree, the Red Fire Tree. This was a peculiar fire attribute tree. Its leaves were needle-shaped and its whole body was crimson. It could barely be considered a kind of spiritual wood, but it was not very useful for martialists.
On the top of an ancient mountain outside the Red Fire Forest, three figures stood and took in the entire Red Fire Forest.
"In the center of the Red Fire Forest is a 10,000-year-old Red Fire Tree that can gather the fire elements between heaven and earth. The nest of the Blue-eyed Suanni is under the 10,000-year-old ancient tree!"
The old man, Luo Yunshan, pointed at a fiery-red canopy in the distance. It was a Crimson Fire Tree with lush branches and leaves. It covered an area of a hundred miles. From afar, the entire Crimson Fire Forest was like a blazing flame.
In the distant ancient forest, a blood-colored figure flickered and suddenly appeared. It was Xue Sha, who had arrived at the top of the ancient mountain.
"Reporting to Patriarch, Senior Luo, I have investigated clearly. The Three Star Kui Wood Wolf in the southern part of the Red Fire Forest has entered the Red Fire Forest, but it stopped a thousand miles away from the Red Fire Forest. It seems to be waiting for an opportunity."
This time, in order to get rid of the Blue-eyed Suanni and several other fierce beasts in one fell swoop and eliminate the hidden danger in the Luo Long territory, Xiao Chen not only ordered Xue Sha but also Shi Ya, who was guarding the far west.
"Patriarch, Senior, the Three Star Blood Poison Toad in the northern part of the Red Fire Forest has also entered the Red Fire Forest and is waiting for an opportunity."
Then, Shi Ya's sturdy figure appeared at the top of the ancient mountain and said aloud.
Suddenly, a cry came from the sky. A large green bird folded its wings and a figure landed on its back. It said to Xiao Chen and the others, "Master, Patriarch Xiao, the Three Star Subterranean Beast has also entered the Red Fire Forest and is preparing to take advantage of the Blue-eyed Suanni's weakness to get a share of the loot."
"It seems that these three fierce beasts can't wait any longer. The Red Fire Golden Blood in the Blue-eyed Suanni's body is enough to evolve their bloodlines again and even break through their original levels. This is a fatal temptation for them!"
"In that case, we will hide here and wait for the fierce beasts to fight. It won't be too late to make a move when both sides are injured!"
