After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

Chapter 357 A Human Clan from a Distant Place!
The Human Alliance caravan traveled northeast of Juyue, leaving Juyue from the northeast of Yunzhou and bypassing the territory of the Great Pu Ancient Kingdom.

This path was found in the memories of Yu Lingbo of the Pu Clan Royal Court.

To the north of the ancient kingdom of Dapu lies a vast wilderness inhabited by hundreds of races, resembling a mixed-race area known as the Fallen Moon Wasteland.

Because of the mixed population, wars were frequent.

The Fallen Moon Wasteland is said to be in the north of the Great Pu Ancient Kingdom, but in reality, the two places are separated by a vast expanse of towering mountains, lakes, and marshes, making travel very inconvenient.

It is precisely because of the barriers of the environment that many areas in the Great Wilderness where living beings thrive are not connected to each other.

It's not that these isolated, barren lands are uninhabitable, but rather that these areas are less suitable as places for people to live and multiply compared to other places. When establishing their own territories, each tribe would naturally choose a better location.

The Juyue Mountains are not actually a very suitable place for a race to live and thrive; it was just that the human race happened to settle here back then.

The ancestors who were left behind chose to live in the wilderness on both sides of the mountain range, avoiding the mountains and swamps.

This applies to all regions and ethnic groups in the Great Wilderness.

Over time, this led to the formation of a landscape in the Great Wilderness where various races and tribes were scattered across the wilderness.

This situation has made it difficult for races and tribes in various regions to expand outwards.

Every expansion was an expedition, especially when communication and transportation were inconvenient. Even if a region was conquered, the cost of maintaining it was very high.

If the expedition fails, it could severely damage the already rapidly growing momentum of the race.

Due to the obstruction of mountains and rivers, the ancient kingdom of Dapu did not have a very clear understanding of the various races in the Fallen Moon Wasteland, only knowing that there were several fifth-tier major races such as the Silver Wolf Clan, the Sky Moon Clan, and the Owl Sun Clan.

These fifth-tier clans are not considered powerful; their clan strength is similar to that of the Earth Louse Clan.

The old tortoise traveled through the sky at great speed, now free from the obstruction of towering mountains below.

However, this is not without danger. In the vast primeval wilderness, no one can guarantee that a powerful fifth-tier flying bird will not suddenly appear.

On the massive turtle-like back, watchtowers were built at the four corners, each atop a soldier using his pupil magic to keep watch.

The caravan was led by five old men: Jusha, Xiashan, Zhishui, Juhuang, and Qianhu.

Even after stepping down from their positions as Alliance Temple Masters, they were still willing to venture out and explore.

For no other reason than for the fifth-order stone phase.

If a prosperous trade route can be established, it will greatly benefit the alliance, and the accumulated merit will be enough to allow them to advance to the pseudo-fifth rank.

The wind was biting, and from high above, one could see colorful poisonous miasma swirling and rising from the jungle over the desolate wilderness.

Further away, lightning crackled within a vast expanse of white mist, swiftly streaking across the jungle.

"It flashes by in the sky, but if you were to cross mountains and valleys from below, not to mention the dangers you would encounter, the journey would be many times longer."

On the old black tortoise, Lord Jusha looked down and talked with Lord Xiashan beside him.

To be honest, this trip was quite impressive.

A frog in a well in a corner of the Juyue Mountains crossed the Juyue Mountains in just a few days and entered a strange region that it could never have imagined before.

Traveling over a million miles through mountains and wilderness would take months of hardship, but with the old tortoise flying in a straight line, they arrived at the edge of the Fallen Moon Wasteland in just half a month.

During this time, some birds did attempt to harass the old tortoise, but none of them managed to catch up.

The old black tortoise slowly descended into a primeval forest. Then, witchcraft appeared on its shell, quickly forming a large array. Brown, green, and earth-colored interwoven lights illuminated the old black tortoise and the surrounding forest, making it one with the forest.

Teams of patrol envoys from the Wasteland Searching Bureau left the old black tortoise and disappeared into the jungle.

As this was their first time venturing out to trade, the alliance acted with extreme caution.

We plan to first investigate the situation in the Fallen Moon Wasteland before embarking on any business ventures.

This time, the old black tortoise brought with it some local specialties from the Giant Mountain region, as well as a batch of weapons and armor.

It would be ideal if these weapons and armor could be sold to human tribes.

However, whether there are suitable human forces in the Fallen Moon Wasteland still needs further investigation.

Western part of the Fallen Moon Wasteland.

Within the thick, oppressive atmosphere of the jungle, a rustling sound rang out as hundreds of burly figures dragged wild beasts back towards the tribe.

The burly men had excitement in their eyes; they had a very successful hunt this time, taking down over a hundred wild beasts, including bears, cattle, and antelopes.

The smallest is at least two zhang in size, enough for the clan's cubs to gnaw on for months. The pelts can be exchanged at the Hundred Clans Market for several top-quality female slaves to be brought back as wives.

"Hurry up, it's getting dark. Don't let the Silver Wolf Clan take advantage of the situation. Those bastards love to launch sneak attacks."

Hey!
As the leader finished speaking, wolf howls echoed through the jungle, followed by a great tremor as black wolves appeared, forming an encirclement from several directions.

"Prepare for battle. Those carrying the prey, go first. The rest of you, follow me to hold off these black wolves."

The leading warrior roared and fired an arrow from his large bow, hitting the black wolf charging at the front.

These black wolves are companion beasts of the silver wolf clan. When the silver wolf clan produces offspring, some are born without much intelligence, and their appearance and habits are similar to those of wild beasts.

These animals would then be raised by the intelligent Silver Wolf Clan as companion beasts to hunt other races.

As the black wolves charged, several silver wolf shadows on the distant giant tree trunk emitted low growls.

Then, streaks of light appeared in the jungle, and one black streak after another rushed towards the human hunting team.

"Beware of the Silver Wolf's secret technique!"

Puff puff!
The black streak of light, like an arrow, pierced through dozens of trees on the spot and struck more than a dozen human figures.

"Damn it, die!"

The leading warrior gripped his large bow and aimed at a silver wolf. Some of these silver wolves possessed bloodline secret arts, similar to human witchcraft.

Unfortunately, the arrow missed its target.

"Both the prey and the humans belong to my Jishan Wolf Tribe. Haha, these robust humans are worth a lot of resources in the Hundred Tribes Market. They can be eaten and sold. It's a good deal."

The silver wolf with the open mouth had three silver halos on its forehead, indicating that it was a third-tier silver moon wolf.

As he finished speaking and prepared to chant the secret technique again to activate the black wolf pack, he suddenly felt his neck being choked.

"Hey, hey... give me some air."

With a snap, the silver wolf's head drooped down.

Then, shadowy figures appeared in the jungle, and one by one, the silver wolves that were driving away the black wolf pack were killed.

One after another, the black wolves that were attacking the humans were pinned to the spot by the streaks of light that came from the jungle, their massive bodies crashing against the giant trees with a loud rumble.

This scene stunned the human warrior.

The hunting party leader brandished his giant bow and realized that these streaks of light were actually arrows formed from condensed energy.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of black wolves were all nailed to death.

The warriors from the other hunting teams stared blankly at what was happening before them, unable to process what was happening.

Could it be that our ancestors have appeared to us?
Footsteps sounded from within the jungle, and Chen Xing and Lin Liang slowly emerged.

The two were dressed in fourth-tier battle armor, each with a storage pouch hanging from their waist. Chen Xing also held a bow that was flashing with witch runes in his hand.

The battle armor was covered in shimmering runes, making it clearly extraordinary.

In contrast, the other humans in the jungle, some bare-chested and others dressed in animal skins, held bows and crossbows or magical weapons, all revealing traces of primitiveness.

"This must be a silk robe. I heard that only powerful clans wear such clothes. They are very complicated to make and have strong defensive capabilities."

“There are runes flashing on that witch artifact. Last time I went to the Hundred Clans Market, I saw a Tianyue Clan warrior whose witch artifact had runes flashing on it.”

"My God, this must be a fourth-tier senior!"

……

While everyone was speculating, the burly man in the lead realized what was happening, instinctively slung his lousy bow behind his back, and quickly bowed in respect.

"Lian Yunshan of the Black Food Department greets the two seniors and expresses his gratitude for saving his life."

I will have my people gather the wolf remains and bring them to our elder."

With over a hundred first and second-tier black wolves, and a few third-tier silver wolves, the Black Eater Tribe had never had such a bountiful year.

Lian Yunshan was also self-aware; he could do without these wolf corpses, but he couldn't be greedy for them right away.

"These alien races frequently harass you?"

Chen Xing asked, as he was a fourth-generation martial artist of the Blazing Flame Clan. After advancing to the Divine Treasure Realm, he joined the Wilderness Patrol Division.

Upon hearing Chen Xing's question, Lian Yunshan nodded, "My Black Food Tribe is adjacent to the Silver Wolf Tribe's Jishan Tribe."

The Jishan tribe, relying on its strong clan power and the support of an even more powerful clan, frequently hunted down neighboring tribes of ours.

Are there no human tribes nearby?

Lian Yunshan was somewhat surprised by Chen Xing's question; he had already realized that the two people in front of him were both Divine Treasure Warriors.

Aren't these two seniors warriors from the Giant Raven Crow tribe?
"We have heard from word of mouth in our tribe that there is a Giant Raven tribe of our human race in Giant Raven Valley, which is 40,000 miles away from our tribe, but we have never seen it."

“Take all these wolves back with you.”

"Senior saved us. Our clan is just a hundred miles away. Although we are a small and weak clan, we have some wine to thank you for saving our lives."

Seeing that Chen Xing and the other person had gentle expressions, unlike the aloof seniors in the rumors, Lian Yunshan bowed and invited them to the Black Food Department.

Chen Xing and Lin Liang exchanged a glance and nodded.

Then, Chenxing raised his hand and put all the wolf beasts into his magic bag.

"I'll keep these wolves for you for now, and hand them over to you when we get back to the tribe."

Without the burden of prey, the group soon arrived at the Black Food Tribe. The entire tribe was situated at the foot of the mountain, enclosed by a circle of bluestone. Children were running around everywhere, and many people were practicing their strength.

Lin Liang was very familiar with this scene; his tribe looked just like this back when the Alliance hadn't risen to power.

But for Chen Xing, when he was born, Zhi Yan had already become a powerful tribe, and he had never really seen such a tribe before.

The two stayed overnight at the warm hospitality of the Black Food Tribe, and the next day they headed towards the direction where the old black tortoise was staying.

That night, they learned about the situation of the Black Food Division, including its forging and training, and its grain cultivation, all of which were far behind the Alliance.

By the time the two returned, two of the five patrol teams sent out had already returned.

The information they brought back was largely accurate.

The good news is that there are human tribes in the Fallen Moon Wasteland.

The bad news is that the human tribes in the Fallen Moon Wasteland face harsh living conditions.

Given that humans have a strong reproductive capacity and can learn, they are excellent servants and sacrifices kept by various races.

As a result, the reason why many human groups have survived and multiplied is because they have been domesticated by various other groups.

The situation of humans in the Fallen Moon Wasteland is much the same.

Over the long course of time, some members of the human race escaped the captivity of other races and gradually grew stronger.

However, in this environment, the human race could only grow to a limited extent, barely managing to survive.

Inside the grand hall on the tortoise shell.

The core warriors who led the caravan on this trip gathered together. In addition to the five executive elders, there was also the patrol envoy and the commander of the 30,000-strong caravan guard, Yan Shan.

When the first trial for young people of the Blazing Flame Clan took place, Yan Shan ranked sixth.

Yan Shan's cultivation has now reached the late stage of the Divine Treasury realm.

"In my opinion, how about we tentatively set the Giant Raven Tribe as the first target of this trade?"

As a caravan, although there are many people, there still needs to be a leader, and this time the leader is Lord Jusha.

According to the information gathered by the patrol envoy, there is only one Giant Raven tribe among the human tribes in the vicinity, and there seems to be another True Wood tribe further away.

"agree."

Inside the main hall, a fat man spoke.

"We've also investigated the information sent back by the previous patrol envoy. The human tribes here are far inferior to our alliance in terms of smelting, forging, and cultivation."

Lu Chen continued to speak, his chubby cheeks jiggling with each word.

When Zhiyan first underwent the trial, he ranked fourth. Over the years, he has been managing market trade and other affairs within his clan and alliance.

"I think we should not only sell weapons and armor, but also address the suffering of so many human comrades in the Fallen Moon Wasteland. As the human alliance, how can we stand idly by?"

These words were spoken by Yan Shan.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the inspectors in the hall lit up; these words resonated deeply with them.

Upon taking a look, Lord Jusha immediately realized why the Alliance Leader had arranged for four other old men to come along besides himself.

This is clearly to protect and safeguard these young people!
"Our own kind will be saved!"

"This doesn't conflict with our acquisition of resources. There are no alien races left in the Giant Mountain Range, but there are plenty of alien races in the Falling Moon Wasteland."

"Elders, you wouldn't want the young people in the various departments of the alliance to lack cultivation resources, would you?"

Lord Xiashan pondered for a moment and said, "We are here to do business."

"Elder Xiashan is right, we are here to do business."

Lord Jusha waved his hand and then said, "We will head to Lord Juya's tribe tomorrow!"

However, who says that traveling as a merchant and rescuing one's own people from dire straits are not the same thing?
Lord Jusha stood up. He had made up his mind that at worst, he would sell a fifth-order defensive array to Lord Juya.

……

Giant Crow Hill.

The mountains stretching for three thousand miles before me are broken and rugged, with potholes and marshes embedded in the earth.

Countless large black birds perched on the giant trees in the mountains, their chirping echoing through the forest.

The Giant Raven tribe was named after these large birds, and it was precisely because of these birds that they were able to establish themselves in the Fallen Moon Wasteland.

These large birds possess a very faint trace of the three-legged golden crow bloodline, known as the Blackfire Crow.

Black fire crows hovered in the air, patrolling the vast area within and outside their territory, guarding against sneak attacks from other races.

Around the territory of the Giant Raven tribe, there were many small tribes that depended on the Giant Raven tribe for survival.

Even so, they still could not avoid being hunted by other races.

In the slave market of the Hundred Races Market, humans are among the most sought-after slaves.

……

In the middle of the Giant Raven Mountains lies a great rift valley, with towering trees and enormous black fire ravens, some of which are over a hundred feet tall.

Deep within the rift valley lies the ancestral temple.

Outside the rift valley lies the clan temple.

"Too deceiving!"

The Second Elder, Ju Po Mao, slammed his fist on the table in a fit of rage.

"They've wiped out my human tribe and then made us pay for their capture. This is the second time! This is intolerable!"

"Clan leader, Xiaoyang is playing a trick on us!"

The atmosphere inside the main hall was tense. As the most powerful human tribe in the vicinity, the Giant Raven tribe was responsible for protecting the human tribes that depended on it.

Of course, the fact that the Giant Raven tribe has been able to survive from generation to generation to this day is also due to the great efforts of these vassal tribes; the two complement each other.

Putting aside everything else, without population, everything is in vain.

The Giant Raven Chieftain rubbed his temples; he knew all too well that the Owl Sun Clan was playing a trick on the Giant Raven Clan.

There's no way they'd be so shameless as to use kidnapping as a pretext to extort money from someone twice.

They fell for the Xiaoyang Clan's trick from the very beginning.

The tribe captured by Xiaoyang had 100,000 members, making it one of the largest tribes under the Giant Raven tribe.

According to the rules of the Hundred Clans Market for buying and selling slaves, they can be sold for 200,000 to 300,000 Tier 2 Source Stones or equivalent items.

However, the first time, Xiao Yang only asked for 50,000 second-tier source stones. The human race was weak, and any move could have far-reaching consequences. Since they could buy it at a low price, the Giant Raven tribe was not willing to go to war with Xiao Yang.

The vassal tribes are one of the foundations for the giant raven's resistance against other races. As the superior, we cannot remain indifferent, otherwise the hearts and minds of the vassal tribes will be completely lost.

So the giant raven bought back the tribe.

Unexpectedly, the Xiaoyang Clan has become addicted.

This time, they joined forces with another scorpion spirit clan and came to bully us again.

How can resources obtained through extortion be so easily and pleasantly acquired when the entire clan is at war?

"let me think again."

Finally, the raven chieftain dismissed the elders, his eyes flashing with cold light. If they compromised again this time, there would be a third and a fourth time.

As the Giant Raven Lord pondered what to do, a huge dark shadow fell over the core territory of the Giant Raven Lord, causing the people of the Giant Raven Lord tribe to gasp in surprise.

"Land descended from the sky!"

"Wait, why are there legs on this land?!"

"Are you stupid? This is an enemy attack!"

Panic swept through the tribe's territory, but fortunately, the giant tortoise stopped after lowering its altitude to a thousand feet.

Furthermore, it is not suspended above the ancestral temple and clan hall of the Giant Raven tribe, but is located in the outer area of ​​its tribe.

On the back of the giant tortoise.

Lord Jusha held the war envoy flag in one hand and a small jade axe in the other.

Suddenly, he recalled the time when the Blazing War Envoy descended upon the Giant Sands tribe, and he and his people were in a state of panic.

How similar this is to the scene before us.

However, tonight he has become an Alliance War Envoy.

quack.

Several fourth-tier black fire crows of the Giant Crow Clan began to squawk, and the clan's elders took to the air, crowding around the Giant Crow Clan leader and watching the sky warily.

"Chief, we are from the same clan!"

When the elders of the Giant Crow tribe saw the Giant Sand Lord appear outside the Giant Tortoise, followed by a group of guards, they breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Human Alliance War Envoy Sha Wanli".

Lord Jusha, accompanied by a squad of guards, descended from the sky, landing at mid-air level with Lord Juya and the other elders, and raised the battle flag in his hand.

"We come from the Giant Mountain Range!"
