C129 To be a Savior for No Reason
Ye Hongtian put away the poisonous gas around him, observed his surroundings and asked, "Where are we now? Where are the beast cores of those sand scorpions?"
Ye Li took a Cosmos Sack from his waist and handed it to Ye Hongtian. He replied, "Master, we have left the desert. This is the beast cores of more than two thousand sand scorpions that Master Hongtian killed. The beast cores of the Sand Scorpion King are also among them. Please take a look, Young Master."
Ye Hongtian nodded and took the Cosmos Sack from Ye Li. He opened the Cosmos Sack and counted the heart-stones. He put the heart-stones into his own Cosmos Sack and returned the Cosmos Sack to Ye Li.
"So many. Over two thousand. Including the previous seven hundred, it would be about three thousand. Hehehe." Ye Hongtian touched the Cosmic Bag on his waist and smiled with satisfaction.
Since he already had the cultivation resources, he should seriously participate in the Family Head Selection. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get the reward of the first place in the selection.
The Family Head Selection this time was to find the tokens hidden within the secret realm. There were 99 tokens, and whoever collected the most tokens within two months would be the first.
The rules were simple, but the difficulty was also very high. The secret realm was so large, and just the three people in the desert were ridiculously large. Moreover, there was not even a single token inside.
"Are the rules of the successive Family Heads' selection the same as this one?" Ye Hongtian tilted his head and looked at Ye Li curiously.
Ye Li slowly shook his head and said, "The rules of each clan head selection will be slightly changed."
Ye Hongtian nodded. He pushed the few leaves in front of him and found himself on a cliff. He made a gesture to signal Ye Li and Ye Ling to stop. They quietly stood on the edge of the cliff and looked into the distance.
There were no clouds in the sky. Birds were flying in groups in the sky, constantly making cheerful cries.
Under the cliff was a small tribe. The surrounding trees were dense, giving the feeling of a forest tribe.
"Let's stay in this tribe for a few days and find out where the token is" Ye Hong Tian pointed at the small tribe and said.
"Understood!"
Ye Li and Ye Ling answered respectfully and disappeared behind Ye Hong Tian in a flash.
Ye Hongtian's face darkened when he saw Ye Ling and Ye Li disappear. He shouted to the front, "You two, don't force the people in the tribe to prepare rooms for me. I will just stay there. Let me know what you have done. Don't follow me in the future. "
"Understood!"
Ye Li and Ye Ling answered again. However, this time, there was a hint of a smile in their voices.
Seeing the two of them agree, Ye Hongtian smiled lightly. He spread his wings and observed the surrounding terrain in the air. He only flew towards the tribe in the evening.
When he landed at the entrance of the tribe, Ye Li and Ye Ling were waiting for Ye Hongtian at the entrance. Behind them, hundreds of people were half-kneeling.
Ye Hongtian showed a trace of anger on his face when he saw this scene. He fiercely waited for Ye Li and Ye Ling.
They shrugged and looked bitter. Then, they came to Ye Hong Tian and said in a low voice, "We don't know why either."
Ye Hong Tian was surprised when he heard that. He looked at the crowd and saw a hunchbacked old man holding a walking stick walking out of the crowd.
The old man was obviously very old. His hand was shaking and he was surrounded by death Qi. It seemed like he didn't have much time left.
The old man coughed violently and said in an extremely hoarse voice, "Young hero, I am the tribe leader. There is nothing in the tribe that can entertain young hero. I hope young hero won't blame me."
Ye Hong Tian scratched his face and went forward to support the tribe leader. Just as he was about to say something, the tribe leader said, "Young hero, please save our tribe!"
Hearing this, Ye Hong Tian swallowed the words that he wanted to say. His face became serious and he asked, "Grandpa tribe leader, what happened to your tribe? Why do you need help? If it's something I can help with, I will do my best... Can you tell me in detail?"
Seeing Ye Hong Tian agree, the patriarch immediately started to cry. Some of the people who were half-kneeling behind him also started to sob.
The patriarch controlled his emotions and looked into the distance. His eyes were full of fear. He said, "A month ago, a monster came out of nowhere. This monster can speak human language. It came to our tribe and started to destroy us crazily. "
"Although the monster didn't hurt anyone, it destroyed more than half of the houses in our tribe. Even now, those houses haven't been repaired"
"Some of the strong men in our tribe picked up weapons to fight back against the monster, but they were all eaten by the monster. Not even their bones were left."1
"We originally thought that the tribe was going to be destroyed, but the monsters suddenly stopped destroying the houses. They talked about conditions with us, but those conditions were in exchange for the lives of our children."
"In order to not let the monster continue to destroy, we agreed to the conditions of the monster first. A priest came after the monster left and said that there would be a group of three people coming here soon. They are our saviors. I think that saviour is you, young hero. Young Hero, please save us. "
Ye Hongtian listened to the chief's story with a serious face. Then he raised his hand and lifted up the kneeling people. They all looked at Ye Hongtian in surprise.
Ye Hongtian turned around and looked at Ye Li and Ye Ling after he did that.
Ye Li and Ye Ling nodded at Ye Hongtian and disappeared with a leap. Nobody knew where they had gone.
"Grandpa Chief, it's late today. Everybody, go back and rest. I will help you solve this problem." Ye Hongtian said with a gentle smile on his face.
Hearing that Ye Hongtian was going to help them solve the problem, the patriarch kept thanking Ye Hongtian. After that, he went back to his own place to rest.
Ye Hongtian followed the patriarch to a straw house. This was where the three of them lived today.
"This is the best house in our tribe. I hope you can forgive me." The tribe leader lowered his head and said.
Ye Hongtian laughed and said jokingly, "I have to thank the chief. If the chief didn't take us in, we would have to sleep in the deep mountains. Why would we dislike this straw house?"
What Ye Hong Tian said was the truth. If the tribe didn't take them in, they would really have to sleep in the deep mountains.
But for martial artists, sleeping in the deep mountains was no different from sleeping in a house. It was just that there was a difference between having a bed and not having a bed.
They martial artists were not afraid of the cold, nor were they afraid of any danger at night. The house was just decoration.
Seeing that Ye Hongtian did not mind, the patriarch smiled and nodded. He said good night to Ye Hongtian and left.
