Yes, the Giant Bone Tribe is located very far away. Even riding a cloud whale, which is located in the lower level, it would take a full year to travel back and forth.

Looking at the vast distance, Wang Yan suddenly remembered what You Li had said. He remembered that You Li's mother was already injured, so how could she have gone so far with young You Li in tow?

Could it be that You Li didn't come from the Giant Bone Tribe?

Wang Yan glanced at You Li in the pool, pursed his lips, and realized that he would have to ask her in the end.

(Edited and revised)

Wang Yan turned her head and was instantly speechless. What kind of person did she think she was?

"Come here, I came out to talk to you about something. What are you thinking about?"

You Li blushed, looking embarrassed, and followed Wang Yan into the depths of the cave.

Wang Yan took You Li's hand and found a place to sit down. He slowly began to speak:

"Youli, could you tell me more about the tribe you lived in when you were a child?"

You Li was slightly taken aback, and said in a somewhat hurried tone:

"Didn't I tell you? That tribe is very strong. Don't think about avenging me or anything. I've long since stopped blaming them. Don't do anything impulsive because of me, okay?"

Wang Yan gently waved his hand and put his arm around You Li's shoulder:

"This matter is actually quite complicated, Youli. Let me ask you, is that tribe called the Giant Bone Tribe?"

When You Li heard those four words, her body stiffened for a moment, and her fists clenched instantly. Although she didn't say anything, Wang Yan understood that this was indeed the tribe.

"The previous attacks by the alien beasts, which made them stronger, were all caused by the Giant Bone Tribe. Even if we don't avenge you, we still have to deal with this trouble. This time, Huayue and I are going to Anju City. Do you know how many alien beasts there are?"

"Hua Yue... Hua Yue told us when she came back... that the cliff face was covered with strange beasts, as far as the eye could see, and there were so many of them it was terrifying..."

Wang Yan nodded slightly and continued, "So even if our attacks are weaker here, we can't guarantee that we won't end up like they are someday. So it's not that we're actively seeking trouble, but that we have no choice but to retaliate. Do you understand?"

You Li was trembling slightly, and Wang Yan held her tighter.

"But...but they are all really strong...I saw with my own eyes that a beast with eyes bigger than a person was knocked down by a single punch from a member of the Giant Bone Tribe...I...I really don't want Wang Yan to face enemies like that..."

"I've already lost my mother, I don't want to lose my man too..."

Wang Yan smiled and pinched You Li's nose, saying confidently:

"How insecure are you about your man? I'm very capable, okay? Besides, who said I was going alone?"

Seeing Wang Yan's relaxed smile, You Li was puzzled:

"Should we...bring Sister Zhuohua along too?"

"You're wrong!"

Wang Yan pointed to a white-haired dragon girl and said:

"I'll take A-Liu with me."

"Um??"

Wang Yan had this plan in mind: why not use their own strategic weapons? Why waste so much food feeding this stupid dragon?

Moreover, he didn't have the idea of ​​"taking revenge on his own," and nobody cared what he did. This kind of thinking is like having a gun but still constantly learning close combat skills to have a "fair duel" with your opponent.

Wang Yantong refers to people who have this kind of thinking as idiots.

"Didn't Sister Zhuohua tell everyone before that A-Liu is a dragon? Dragons are feared even among the upper classes. Which do you think is more powerful, A-Liu or the Giant Bone Tribe?"

"But...but didn't you say that A-Liu can't understand you?"

"Hehe, that's no problem for me. I'll just lure her with the canned food and we'll see. Once we get there, will A-Liu really just watch me get beaten up?"

At this point, You Li nodded subconsciously; what Wang Yan said wasn't without merit.

"Moreover, I just want to go and take a look, to gather some information. I will go and negotiate with them as a merchant first, so I will not directly clash with them."

"So, Yuli, can you tell me where they are now?"

Stunned by Wang Yan's words, You Li felt that what he said made a lot of sense, so she nodded gently and replied:

"I only remember that my mother and I ran away for six days. We had to go west, cross a big canyon, and then go uphill for a while. I've forgotten the exact location because it's been so long."

Wang Yan rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and thought it sounded like a short distance, about six days' walk. If he rode the Rainbow Shark, the distance would only be reduced further.

"Actually, during my stay in Anju City these past few days, I asked someone about the location of the Giant Bone Tribe. She gave me a map, but the round trip takes about a year. Youli, do you have any clue?"

"A year...?"

These words stumped You Li. After a moment, she said, seemingly unsure, "..."

"I seem to remember... those bad guys back then said something about 'upper tribe' or something like that. Could it be that they were from the same tribe, but split up and lived in different places?"

This analysis isn't entirely without merit; such a possibility does exist. However, we'll have to go and see for ourselves to understand the situation.

After confirming the information with You Li, Wang Yan had nothing more to ask her. He hugged her for a while before going back inside to rest with her.

The next morning, having obtained further information about the Giant Bone Tribe the previous night, Wang Yan did not rush to visit them immediately. After all, he was there to gather intelligence, so he decided to make some preparations first.

The best way to disguise oneself as a merchant is to prepare a decent outfit first. After all, Wang Yan doesn't have a cloud whale, only a rainbow shark, which is definitely not enough. He had encountered this situation before in the rock sheep village.

However, his clothes were all rather plain, such as the original outfit he brought from Earth and the polyester fiber suit from the newbie gift pack given by the system, all of which were destroyed during his battle.

Nowadays, all I can offer are some commoner clothes I bought from Anju City, but they're all too outdated; no one would believe I'm a merchant if I told them.

With no other option, Wang Yan had to try his luck again and open the lottery to see if he could win another set of clothes.

His thoughts shifted to the lottery, and Wang Yan immediately spent 1,000 points on a ten-draw. However, this time, it seemed that... it was a little bit different?

Bad news, no clothes were released.

But the good news is that this time the money actually came out!

When the golden light appeared completely before Wang Yan's eyes, and he saw its appearance clearly, Wang Yan's pupils shrank sharply, and even his breathing became more rapid.

"Not buddy, right???"

(A-Liu's picture has also appeared. I'll try to put it in this comment section. If you can't see it, then there's nothing I can do.)
