Chapter 25 Mysterious Army! The Luminous Tree Stronghold!
These kung fu movie moves have negligible effect on high-level experts.
However, it is still very useful for level two, three, four, and five monsters and for hunting ferocious beasts.
Xiao Yu was confident that the warriors he trained would absolutely crush those of the same level!
Maple Leaf Tribe is now on the right track!
When the final battle with the Black Demon Tribe begins, he will give everyone a surprise!
For the next two days, the Black Demon tribe did not attack.
Xiao Yu was happy to have some free time, and took the opportunity to teach his clansmen more.
The young and middle-aged men had been training, strengthening their physiques, and practicing the fist and sword techniques taught by Xiao Yu...
Women, children, and the elderly and frail, under Xinglan's leadership, did some logistical work, skinning and cleaning all the ferocious beasts they had hunted and making them into smoked meat, which could be stored for a longer period of time.
After all, the temperature is too high.
Meat may rot after two or three days.
Also.
They also need to search for various plants in the forests surrounding the tribe.
We'll dig them all up first, and then cultivate them gradually later, as long as they're edible.
"Brother, I have news!"
Xiao Yu was teaching everyone Muay Thai when Hong Lian came over and spoke.
"Oh? You finally found the spot?" Xiao Yu was overjoyed.
The Black Demon Squad always wore masks when they went to the Luminous Tree base.
Therefore, when Xiao Yu interrogated the Black Demon Captain, he only obtained the general location.
"Yes, based on the information you provided, we have found a place where ferocious beasts are densely packed. It is located deep in the Black Wind Forest, where third and fourth-tier ferocious beasts roam everywhere, making it extremely dangerous..." Honglian said with a solemn expression.
"That should be it!" Xiao Yu said confidently.
"You want to take the Night-Shining Tree?"
Upon hearing this, Honglian immediately understood what the other person meant.
"According to Captain Black Demon, deep in the forest there is a mysterious spring that, after absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, gave birth to a magical little tree called the Night-Shining Tree. During the day, the Night-Shining Tree absorbs natural light sources, and at night, it converts these sources into pure energy and can condense Night-Shining Dew. Consuming this dew can cleanse the marrow and strengthen the body!"
"So that's how it is! No wonder the Black Skull Tribe has developed so quickly! In just a few years, they've managed to significantly improve the strength of thousands of people, with even the weakest reaching the first rank!" Honglian suddenly realized, and was also quite surprised.
"We have a blood feud with the Black Demon Tribe. Now that we've discovered their treasure, how can we let it go?"
"Furthermore, if the Maple Leaf Tribe obtains the Night-Shining Tree, it won't be long before everyone in our tribe becomes a powerful warrior, making it easy to wipe out the Black Demon Tribe! We might even... build a force comparable to Flame City."
As Xiao Yu spoke, his eyes were filled with fervor.
Whatever the reason, he was determined to get the glowing tree!
"But the place is fraught with danger! Not only are there a group of fourth and fifth-tier experts from the Black Demon Tribe stationed there, but perhaps the two major bases are also involved... and the outer perimeter is teeming with ferocious beasts. Even if you obtain the Night-Shining Tree, how will you escape?"
Honglian was clearly also somewhat interested in this mysterious spring.
However, in such a dangerous situation, even someone at the sixth or seventh level could perish if they were not careful.
Therefore, she was very worried about Xiao Yu's safety and did not want him to take any risks.
"Fortune favors the bold! And don't forget... my many methods."
Xiao Yu laughed heartily, not taking it to heart.
He's definitely a fourth-tier player now.
His strength has exceeded 5,000 jin, comparable to a fifth-tier strength-type mutant!
There are also life-saving methods such as burrowing underground and teleporting.
He can go anywhere in the world if he wants to!
It's just a matter of venturing into the Black Wind Forest; it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Remember! Try not to go out before I get back! To prevent being attacked by thieves!" Xiao Yu reminded him before leaving.
The previous battle that wiped out the Black Demon Squad had already intimidated all forces.
However, the war between the Maple Leaf Tribe and the Black Demon Tribe is not over yet.
During wartime, we must be wary not only of the main enemy, but also of potential enemies.
Especially in the wasteland, when you are powerful, no one dares to mess with you.
But once you're injured or show signs of fatigue, someone will rush out and tear you apart.
The Maple Leaf Tribe is now wealthy, with hundreds of ferocious beasts as food.
No one can guarantee that someone won't take the risk for food.
"Also, you need to intensify your training!"
Honglian is a Flame Awakener, whose physique far surpasses that of ordinary enhanced individuals.
In order to go further, recover to peak condition as soon as possible, and prepare for breaking through to the fifth rank.
She has been training these past few days.
However, since she and Xinglan were girls, many of the moves Xiao Yu taught them were somewhat embarrassing.
Neither of the sisters wanted to train in front of others; they only wanted to train in front of Xiao Yu.
"Don't worry, we'll wait for you to come back!"
After giving his instructions, Xiao Yu immediately set off into the depths of the Black Wind Forest.
The rock tortoise is now too big.
In order not to attract the attention of the ferocious beast, Xiao Yu first let the Earth Rock Turtle dive underground.
Only one ventilation opening, disguised as stone, is visible.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”
They hadn't gone far when a flash of white light appeared, and a small figure landed on Xiao Yu's shoulder. It was Little Flash, whom he had sent out to scout ahead. Little Flash chattered and gestured something in Xiao Yu's ear.
"Another team is heading in our direction?"
Upon understanding Xiao Shan's meaning, Xiao Yu's brows furrowed slightly.
Are they from the Black Demon Tribe again? And even more than before?
"Let's follow them and see!"
Xiao Yu immediately decided to follow and see.
After traveling a short distance into the Blackwind Forest.
He then discovered a group of over a hundred people, who emerged from the ground and secretly observed them.
These men were all tall and strong, and they marched at a fast pace.
"They're even wearing steel armor?"
Hundreds of people were all wearing black coarse cloth cloaks, their faces covered.
All that could be seen were a pair of extremely cold eyes, adding to the mystery.
It's obvious at a glance that this is no ordinary bandit.
What's most unusual is that these people were all wearing steel armor under their black cloaks.
With this armor that can protect vital organs, the defense will increase by at least tenfold.
It should be noted that although Yancheng controls an iron mine, its iron smelting technology is limited.
Currently, the thousands of soldiers in Yan City can only be issued one iron sword per person.
The maximum number of people qualified to wear the armor is one or two thousand, and they are all the elite of the elite.
But the Black Demon Tribe actually has such a powerful army!
"Wait...they seem to have gone deeper into the forest?"
Xiao Yu secretly observed for a while and soon discovered that these people had actually entered the forest.
Judging from their marching direction, they were heading straight into the depths of the forest.
That place was the secret stronghold of the Night-Shining Tree.
"They're probably reinforcements heading to the secret base. If we follow them, we can find the Glowing Tree!"
During the interrogation of the Black Demon Squad leader, he learned that the stronghold had attracted the attention of ferocious beasts, who were attacking it. According to the judgment of several leaders, it was likely that someone had deliberately lured them there.
After a moment's thought, Xiao Yu was overjoyed and quickly followed.
To avoid being discovered, he found a large mountain and used earth magic to swim up to it.
When I first came into this world, the forest was shrouded in mist.
Xiao Yu's field of vision was only about 100 meters; he couldn't see anything beyond that.
But now, with the continuous improvement of strength, even with fog obscuring the view, one can see within a range of 300-500 meters. If the fog is thin, one can see everything beyond 500 meters.
It was the time when the sun was high in the sky and the fog was at its thinnest.
Looking down from the mountaintop, Xiao Yu could vaguely see the entire Night Glow Tree stronghold.
You can even see rows of simple stone houses standing several miles away.
The stone houses vary in size, numbering at least several dozen, and have formed a small base.
He stood out as an oddity in the forest teeming with ferocious beasts.
This is the Nightfall Tree stronghold of the Black Demon Tribe.
However, the ferocious beasts mostly hibernate during the day and do not attack the stronghold.
Therefore, the stronghold is very quiet now, and you can only vaguely see a number of people moving around.
It's now extremely difficult to get into the stronghold and do anything there.
Therefore, Xiao Yu was not in a hurry to act and planned to continue to observe and wait for an opportunity to act.
"Wait... there's another group of people. Could they be from Yan City?"
Xiao Yu hid in the mountain, disguised as a rock, observing everything within a radius of several kilometers. No one else could find him. However, he inadvertently discovered that behind a small mountain peak a few miles away from the Night Glow Tree Base, dozens of people were hiding.
These people were very cautious, remaining lying in place and disguising themselves very well.
Because they were several miles apart and shrouded in fog.
Since Xiao Yu couldn't see the other person's face clearly, he naturally couldn't determine their identity.
However, based on Captain Black Demon's words, it is very likely from Flame City.
It seems the people of Yan City have finally located the glowing tree and are preparing to seize it.
"Is one of them the leader?" Xiao Yu stared at the group of people, his pupils shrinking.
Flame City has four leaders, the weakest of whom, the fourth leader, is still at the peak of the sixth rank.
The others were all at the seventh rank, or even at the peak of the seventh rank... their strength was extremely powerful...
“Right now, even facing a sixth-tier opponent would be very troublesome for me, let alone a seventh-tier opponent. But... I don’t think I need to confront them head-on, do I?” Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.
He came here to steal, not to fight.
These people are hiding here, probably waiting for an opportunity to make their move; they might even be able to lend a hand.
time flies.
In the blink of an eye, the sun set and darkness fell.
"The night of harvest is about to begin!"
Xiao Yu remained on the mountaintop, casually lying down on a rock to rest.
He kept glancing at the dozens of people on the mountain peak.
Whoosh! A small pebble suddenly landed not far from Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu looked in the direction of the sound.
Then a figure wearing a gray hood and a cloak arrived at the mountaintop.
Xiao Yu looked at the other person, a hint of doubt on his face.
"I don't mean to offend you, I'm just reminding you... things are about to get chaotic here, you'd better leave quickly!" A somewhat cold voice rang out from under the hood.
"Who are you?" Xiao Yu ignored him and asked casually.
After looking the other person over, they couldn't find any identification.
However, one thing is certain: they are definitely not from Yan City.
"Looks like you've got your eye on this place too," June said warily, staring at Xiao Yu.
She had been paying attention to Xiao Yu for some time now.
At first, I thought he was just a clueless kid.
If a fight breaks out later, it will be very dangerous.
I happened to be scouting from the mountaintop, so I thought I'd give you a heads-up.
However, upon closer inspection, it became clear that this kid was probably not as simple as he seemed.
In the perilous wilderness, they encountered a stranger of unknown origin, yet he remained calm and composed.
He's either an idiot or he's got some tricks up his sleeve.
Thinking of this, June tentatively suggested, "How about we cooperate?"
"Not interested in!"
