章 116: Chapter 116
Yu Su is heading south of the forest with the main purpose of encountering the desert lizards and investigating any issues in their lair.
Exiting the Beast God Temple with the Barbarian Chief, Yu Su's subtle smile to Land Yan, waiting outside, reassures him.
"These two are the leaders of my village's warrior divisions. This is Jian Yunchuan, the leader of the regular warrior camp, and this is Lu Yan, the leader of the Five Elements Warrior Camp."
Yu Su introduces Jian Yunchuan and Lu Yan without explicitly mentioning their relationship with him. However, their resemblance is evident, and anyone can sense an extraordinary connection.
The Barbarian Chief notices this and treats Jian Yunchuan and Lu Yan with great respect.
Soon, various tribes within the Barbarian Tribe learn about the non-aggression and trade contracts between the Barbarian Chief and Yu Su.
Many tribes are surprised, thinking Yu Su's visit might be troublesome, only to find out it's for signing contracts.
The Barbarian Chief issues an order privately – anyone disturbing Yu Village to the north will become an enemy not just to Yu Village but to the entire Barbarian Tribe.
Upon learning this, tribes dare not entertain thoughts of harassing Yu Village.
...
South of the Barbarian Tribe's forest.
Yu Su observes tall pointed wooden walls erected along the forest's border, extending indefinitely, designed to prevent desert lizards. The Barbarian Chief explains the need for frequent replacements due to lizard breaches.
"There's a watchtower to alert against lizard approaches. When they come, the warriors on the tower blow horns."
"Also, the tamed tigers and leopards from various tribes are sensitive; they detect the lizards as soon as they approach."
Accompanying Yu Su and his group to the southern forest, the Barbarian Chief explains how tribes cooperate to kill the lizards.
"Yesterday, the lizards attacked again, and today we're repairing the damaged walls."
Pointing to the busy Barbarian Tribe members in front of the walls, the Barbarian Chief informs Yu Su.
As Yu Su's group arrives, curious gazes from the tribes focus on them, cautious but intrigued.
Lu Yan notices many Barbarian Tribe members looking at Yu Su, a mix of admiration, reverence, and desire – an expression he finds displeasing.
These gazes seem unnecessary to Lu Yan, who occasionally coldly warns those eyeing Yu Su.
Coughing, many Barbarian Tribe members, who discreetly observed Yu Su, quickly pretend nothing happened, shifting their attention.
Some are silently astonished. Lu Yan's imposing demeanor is far more intimidating than the top warriors of the Barbarian Tribe.
After examining the defensive structures, Yu Su admires the Barbarian Tribe's fortifications as the strongest he has seen among various factions.
They not only withstand attacks from low-level monsters like desert lizards but also fight them off.
If not for the Barbarian Tribe, the lizards would have trampled Yu Village after crossing the Barbarian Tribe's forest.
"Are these lizard attacks frequent?" Yu Su asks.
"Sometimes every two days, sometimes daily," replies the Barbarian Chief.
Yesterday's attack likely means a reprieve today, making the tribe's defense seem more relaxed.
However, an unexpected event occurs. As Yu Su and his group reach the watchtower, the warriors blow horns suddenly.
"Duu—"
The horn echoes over the forest, startling the Barbarian Tribe.
"The monsters just came yesterday; why are they here again today?"
"Considering the horn's sound, it seems like a large number."
"What's going on?"
"Quick, assemble!"
Barbarian Tribe members in the forest rush to gather.
The Barbarian Chief's expression changes, apologizing to Yu Su, "Lord Yu Su, the monsters are back. It might be chaotic later. Why not come with me?"
Yu Su shakes his head, "Since they're here, I'll lend a hand. Lu Yan."
Lu Yan steps forward, looking at Yu Su.
Yu Su instructs him, "Lead the warriors to help."
Lu Yan nods, waves his hand, and takes the warriors away.
Jian Yunchuan stays, still accompanying Yu Su.
Seeing this, the Barbarian Chief is slightly moved. He also wants to witness the mysterious power of Yu Village warriors. He refrains from persuading and joins Yu Su, climbing a watchtower together.
From the tower, they can see most of the situation in the wilderness.
As a foundational cultivator, Yu Su's vision is exceptional. His spiritual sense captures every movement in the wilderness.
He notices the desert lizards, as described by the Universal Elf, are as large as adult crocodiles. Their backs are covered with sturdy shells, and their long tails have sharp tips. The approaching group is massive.
Yu Su furrows his brows. The number of lizards is unexpected. The Barbarian Tribe's wooden walls might not hold against this many.
Are there always this many lizards attacking, or is it just this time?
At this moment, the Barbarian Tribe members on the watchtower exclaim in shock. "Great Chief, this time, there are more than ten times the lizards from yesterday!"
The Barbarian Chief's expression changes. More than ten times?
Impossible.
Yu Su understands immediately; usually, there aren't this many lizards coming. It seems today is an emergency.
Yu Su turns to Jian Yunchuan, "Father, no need to follow me. Go help Lu Yan and remind them that the number of lizards this time is significant. Be careful."
Jian Yunchuan understands Yu Su's gaze, indicating that they should retreat if the situation goes south, not to incur unnecessary losses.
"Alright."
The Barbarian Chief watches Jian Yunchuan effortlessly jump down from the watchtower, surprised. This person is Yu Su's father? Does he also possess the terrifying power Yu Su has?
The Barbarian Chief's astonishment doesn't last long. In the distance, the silhouette of the blood desert lizard is visible. As the perceptive Barbarian warrior said, there are more than ten times the lizards from yesterday.
The Barbarian Chief knows; today will be a fierce battle. He can't just stand by, so he summons his beloved beast as well.That was a forest python as thick as a water bucket, slowly swimming out of the forest.
Seeing the python, many Barbarian Tribe members showed fearful expressions, avoiding it.
The python was quite arrogant, disdainfully glancing at the Barbarian Tribe members along the way. It only straightened up when it arrived in front of the watchtower, looking at the Barbarian Chief.
The Barbarian Chief touched its head, murmuring something.
Yu Su couldn't fully understand, but it seemed like a snake language, yet not exactly.
It appeared to be an imitation, and the forest python understood.
After communicating with the Barbarian Chief, the python turned to look at Yu Su.
Yu Su calmly observed it, comparing it with the differences between the Winged Serpent, Thunder Serpent, and Water Serpent Demons, showing no hint of fear.
The python seemed to sense the irresistible aura from Yu Su and, after glancing at him, slowly retreated.
The Barbarian Chief was secretly surprised. Although the python obeyed him, it was proud and uncontrollable when angered. It had even eaten several Barbarian Tribe members. Unexpectedly, it feared Yu Su, refraining from any provocations.
It showed that Yu Su indeed possessed a divine power, even noticeable to the forest python.
"Lord Yu Su, please don't blame it. It's afraid of you," said the Barbarian Chief.
Yu Su: "No blame. This python..."
Yu Su was curious about the python but, considering the approaching desert lizards, decided to stop, "Let's deal with the desert lizards first."
He hadn't brought the Little Black Bird this time. If it were here, a breath of divine fire could handle most of the desert lizards.
Now they had to rely on themselves.
All Barbarian Tribe members tightened their weapons. The tamed tigers and leopards beside them crouched low, emitting low growling sounds.
Lu Yan stood on the wooden wall, drawing the knife on his back.
After exchanging glances with Yu Su, he turned away.
He knew one of Yu Su's purposes was to encounter the desert lizards, so this time he wouldn't hold back.
"Release the arrows!"
As the desert lizards approached, a warrior shouted.
Numerous arrows were shot, some hitting the lizards' eyes, but most were swiped away by their tails or stuck on their shells, causing no harm.
The lizards, aggressive, approached the Barbarian Tribe members, vigorously striking their tails against the wooden wall.
A hole was instantly pierced through the wall.
Strong Barbarian Tribe members jumped down, engaging in combat with the lizards.
Lu Yan on the wall also moved. He gently touched the knife on his back, and a fiery red flame appeared on the blade.
Raising the knife, he swung it downward with force.
A thunderous sound.
Those nearby lizards were struck by his knife. Some, unprepared, were split in half at vulnerable points. Others were hit on the back shells.
The shells cracked, but they didn't die.
Yu Su observed, slightly squinting.
Indeed, low-level monsters like these lizards had tough shells.
Other Barbarian Tribe members, witnessing this scene, were stunned.
