Otaku. These three words stirred up everyone's nerves. At this moment, the people who were originally urging Shi Ya and Xue Li to leave were no longer in the mood to urge them to leave. Instead, they all turned to look at Shi Ya.
Otaku could be said to be a nightmare for the Gu Yuan Tribe. The construction of the defensive ancient city in the Void Path was all for the sake of resisting the foreign beasts that would break out of the seal in the future. However, now that Otaku had appeared in the Fallen Dragon Ridge, everyone had no choice but to take this matter seriously.
"Shi Ya, tell everyone what you found when you entered the depths of the Fallen Dragon Ridge."
After a while, Xiao Chen reacted. Different situations call for different actions. Since the foreign tribes had appeared, the Gu Yuan Tribe had to deal with them. How could they panic?
Moreover, this Otaku had hidden its tracks. If Shi Ya and Xue Li had not gone to investigate, it would have been difficult to discover its tracks. There must be a conspiracy behind the foreign tribes' descent into the Human World.
At this moment, Xiao Chen could not help but remember what Elder Shi had told him about the River of the Hundred Realms in the Ancestral Court of the Human Race in the Desolate Border Region. No matter which matter it was, it meant that the Desolate Border Region was about to undergo a huge change. The Gu Yuan Tribe was involved and would definitely be affected.
When the River of the Boundary descended, Otaku had suddenly appeared in the Fallen Dragon Ridge. They had to find out what kind of conspiracy it was.
"Patriarch, a few months ago, a Three-star Ferocious Beast appeared in the southern region of the Fallen Dragon Ridge and attacked the vassal battalions. It has something to do with the Imperial Beast Clan. The first time I entered the Desolate Mountain Forest, I didn't find anything special."
"However, this time, the Patriarch ordered us to investigate the Southern Domain again. The reason why it took a month was because Xue Li and I did not directly go to the Southern Domain of the Fallen Dragon Ridge. We took a detour to the Southwestern Domain and entered the depths of the Fallen Dragon Ridge. This time, we entered the Fallen Dragon Ridge nearly eighty thousand kilometers deep."
"The eighty thousand kilometers deep in the Fallen Dragon Ridge is the domain of peak Three-star fierce beasts and even Four-star fierce beasts. However, Xue Li and I discovered a strange phenomenon. The number of fierce beasts in the depths of the mountain that was originally filled with Three-star and Four-star fierce beasts actually decreased. There were only some ordinary mid-Three-star fierce beasts and even some early-Three-star fierce beasts. The powerful peak Three-star and even Four-star fierce beasts were nowhere to be seen.
"For this reason, the two of us continued to enter the depths of the mountain. Only when we were more than ten thousand kilometers away did peak Three-star and Four-star fierce beasts gradually reappear."
"The two of us hid in the depths of the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range for over ten days. Finally, we discovered an extremely secretive place beneath an ancient mountain. However, the aura it emitted made one's heart palpitate. There were even foreign race guards in the surroundings of the ancient mountain, so the two of us had no choice but to retreat. However, we bumped into a member of the Beastmaster Clan on the way back."
"This Otaku person was comparable to a human martial artist at the fifth layer of the Heavenly Building Realm. He was carrying a recently killed Three-star fierce beast. The two of us risked serious injuries to kill this Otaku person. After that, we rushed back to the tribe in a panic. As for what secrets are hidden under that ancient mountain, we do not know."
Shi Ya was panting as he told everyone what he knew. After hearing this, Xiao Chen patted his shoulder lightly and said softly, "Recover from your injuries first. The tribe will deal with the rest."
"Great Elder."
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Chen said aloud, "Warn the people of the tribe that if they go out to hunt and hone their combat skills, they should not go too far. Try to rush back to the tribe on the same day."
"Send out battle envoys to the major subordinate battle divisions to convey the tribe leader's edict. All suspicious things that happen in their respective tribes must be reported to my Gu Yuan Tribe as soon as possible."
"Ding Shan, the tribal battle masters of the Fallen Dragon Ridge give up the plan to explore deeper into the mountain range. Withdraw their forces and stabilize their existing hunting grounds. In addition to ensuring the supply of blood and food to the tribe, transfer two 10,000-man battle masters back to defend the Void Path."
"Great Elder, immediately install the Spirit Crystals and top-grade Primordial Stones I brought back this time on the Void Battleship and be on standby. If there are any changes in the Otaku Void Path, drive the Void Battleship into the Void Path at any time."
"The five great elders who are in charge of the battle masters will enter the depths of the mountain range to see if there are any changes in the depths of the Luolong Mountain Range in the west."
"Xue Sha, immediately set off to the depths of the Fallen Dragon Ridge in the eastern region of the Fallen Dragon Ridge to investigate."
"Yes!"
Everyone bowed and accepted the order. Not long after, they dispersed. When only Xiao Chen, Mu Qing, and Pinching Flower were left in the Bluestone Garden, Xiao Chen could not help but take a deep breath and then let out a long breath, as if he wanted to spit out all the depression in his heart.
After the Battle of the Hundred Realms River and the tribe's suppression of the foreign race's Void Path in the past 20 years, he had already advanced to the Sixth Heaven of the Heavy Building Realm. He recalled that day when he met Venerable Purple Snake in the abandoned ancient city in the underground world.
But at this moment, he found that Venerable Purple Snake, who he thought was at the Sixth Heaven of the Heavy Building Realm, was far from that simple. Back then, his strength was only at the middle stage of the Blood Refining Realm. His knowledge was shallow, and it was difficult for him to understand the division of the Heavy Building Realm warriors, let alone the vast difference between them.
In this way, it seemed that Venerable Purple Snake had deliberately concealed his own cultivation, only telling him that he was at the Sixth Heaven of the Heavy Building Realm. As for the rest, he did not know.
And the strength of the Purple Snake Marquis Tribe was certainly not as simple as what he saw in the underground world. As the saying goes, the stronger you are, the more you feel how insignificant you are. Now that he had advanced to the level of Venerable, the strength of the Ancient Yuan Tribe was enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with a high-rank combat division, but the dangers that came along with it were thousands of times greater than in the past.
The chaos of Otaku ten thousand years ago lasted for thousands of years. If the Purple Snake Marquis Tribe only had the strength that Xiao Chen saw, then Otaku would have already dominated the Desolate Border. He could not help but guess that the Purple Snake Marquis Tribe he saw was a tribe that had gone through countless wars and survived.
An incomparably powerful tribe was forcibly destroyed in the process of resisting the foreign race. In the end, they had no choice but to use the whole tribe as a blood sacrifice to seal the foreign race. Just thinking about it made people shudder.
And the River of Hundred Realms was about to descend into the Hollow World outside the Desolate Border, which would weaken the space barrier of the Human World. This was an opportunity for the foreign race to descend into the Human World, but Otaku had actually appeared in the Southern Region of the Fallen Dragon Ridge. This made Xiao Chen ponder about where the Otaku Scripture came from.
Although the seal of the Void Road of Otaku guarded by the tribe would take at least a hundred years to break, this was just an inference that everything was safe and sound. Now that Otaku had appeared in the Fallen Dragon Ridge, Xiao Chen did not believe that it had nothing to do with the Void Road.
Behind Xiao Chen, two beautiful figures looked at each other and saw a trace of heartache in each other's eyes. It was heartache for the man in front of them.
"Husband."
Two delicate voices sounded at the same time, rousing Xiao Chen from his deep thoughts. Mu Qing and Pinghua, one on the left and one on the right, hugged Xiao Chen's arm and snuggled together.
"We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Under your leadership, the Gu Yuan Tribe has broken through many obstacles in just a few short years and developed to the point where it is today. Every single one of these times has been filled with danger. Even if the sky falls and the earth shatters, my sister and I will accompany you."
"Yes, Sister Qing 'er and I will stay by your side."
Gently hugging the two delicate bodies and feeling the warmth, Xiao Chen's heart flashed with calmness.
After a long time of tenderness, Mu Qing and Pinghua looked at each other and raised their heads to ask softly, "Husband, are you going to personally investigate the Southern Region?"
"That's right!"
Xiao Chen did not hide anything from his wife and continued, "This time, Shi Ya accidentally encountered an Otaku warrior, which should have alerted the enemy. I think the Otaku hiding in the depths of the mountain range must have sensed something. If they have any intentions, they will definitely make their next move."
"Either they launch an attack ahead of time, or the plot is not fully prepared and they hide somewhere else. No matter what, Otaku has appeared outside the tribe. I have to figure out what kind of plot they have."
Xiao Chen's eyes were filled with murderous intent and even a trace of brutality.
"If it really has something to do with the Void Path guarded by the tribe, we must eliminate this danger ahead of time. If it endangers the seal in the Void Path, with the current strength of our Gu Yuan Tribe, we are not ready to face the foreign beasts."
Following Xiao Chen's orders, the entire Gu Yuan Tribe quickly operated like a war machine. On the same day, the two 10,000-man Combat Masters rushed back from the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range and immediately entered the Void Path of the foreign beasts. They entered the defensive ancient city and the nine guard cities to defend.
Xiao Chen once again went to the seal to investigate further. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he found that there were no changes to the seal. Then, he ordered the two captains to oversee the seal and observe the situation at all times.
One day later.
A green figure appeared in the depths of the Desolate Ancient Forest. The pegasus that was originally used for transportation was sent into the space of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers. After arranging everything in the tribe, Xiao Chen entered the depths of the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range in the Southern Region in less than half a day.
The Fallen Dragon Mountain Range had existed for an unknown period of time. The ancient mountain range stretched for tens of thousands of miles. As far as the eye could see, there were green mountains and clear waters, but there was a sense of desolation in the air. The roots of the old trees were twisted and twisted, and their strong and powerful roots were like earth dragons that pierced deep into the earth. Even the rocks were broken by the roots.
There were many ancient mountains, towering and majestic. There were steep cliffs and jagged rocks of grotesque shapes. However, Xiao Chen's gaze was not on this magnificent scenery.
In the depths of the ancient forest, there were muffled beast roars. These were the roars of ferocious beasts. Xiao Chen could easily tell that these roaring ferocious beasts were only at the Two-star level.
He was already eighty thousand miles deep into the mountain range. Just as Shi Ya had said, this should be the territory of Three-star ferocious beasts or even Four-star ferocious beasts, but there were very few Three-star ferocious beasts.
