Chapter 599: Leader of the Dragon Tribe
Buzz...
Ripples appeared in the empty space as a spatial channel opened in front of Xiao Ming and his companions. An almost tangible surge of Yuan Power erupted from the spatial channel, akin to a dragon being released from its cage.
Two figures flew out of the spatial channel. An oppressive aura emanated from them as they floated in the air. Their auras condensed behind them, taking the shape of a giant coiling dragon as a mighty pressure enveloped the land.
"Duan Tao of the Dragon Tribe pays his respects to this esteemed individual. Our tribe leader and elders are waiting inside. Please follow us."
These two Dragon Tribe experts appeared to be middle-aged. Their somewhat stern faces exuded a dignified aura. From the faintly noticeable astonishing auras emanating from their bodies, it was evident that they had reached the Samsara Stage. Even in the Dragon Tribe, the status of those with such strength was not low at all.
"Let's go!"
Xiao Ming nodded and led the three women as they followed Duan Tao into the spatial channel. The scenery shifted in front of them, and as they landed once again, Xiao Ming keenly sensed that their footsteps had become slightly heavier.
The natural Yuan Power within the Dragon Tribe was actually dense enough to affect one's speed.
Protected by Xiao Ming, Ying Huanhuan, Qing Tan, and Mu Lingshan managed to remain composed.
After getting used to the environment, the girls' eyes contained some curiosity as they looked around the tribe and found an endless lush green sea. Many huge trees were hundreds of thousands of meters tall. Their branches were covered with ancient veins.
What surprised them the most was that these colossal trees, resembling sky-supporting pillars, seemed to inhale and exhale the natural Yuan Power as if they were living creatures...
"This is your first visit to our tribe, right? These are Yuan Trees. They are divine trees that existed in ancient times and have the ability to produce Yuan Power. As long as it absorbs a little bit of Yuan Power, it will be able to produce a considerable amount of fairly pure Yuan Power. This cycle continues endlessly, allowing Yuan Power to grow and multiply without end," Duan Tao introduced the Yuan Trees after seeing the shock in the girls' eyes.
"Good stuff indeed."
Xiao Ming looked at the trees below and couldn't help but praise. The amount of natural energy in the area directly affected the number of powerful individuals. In the Dou Qi Continent, the reason why there were far more powerful individuals in the Central Plains than in the other regions was due to the abundance of natural energy there.
The numerous Yuan Trees in the Dragon Tribe's territory were also one of the cornerstones of their dominance in the Demon Domain.
One could also see many pill rivers stretching endlessly in the sky above this vast land. As the rivers flowed by, dragon roars could be heard from even farther away, and one could vaguely see some enormous shadows playing within the pill rivers.
The young lady cast her big eyes on Xiao Ming, sizing him up from head to toe, then pouted her small mouth.
Duan Tao could not help but feel a little embarrassed after hearing the words of the black-clothed young lady in front of him. His face quickly turned stern as he said, "Xiao Xin! Don't be disrespectful in front of our honored guest!"
Although he also felt that Xiao Ming was excessively young, and not in the way that some old monsters disguised themselves as young, the other party did not hide the kind of vitality that young people generally possessed, which could not be faked.
However, regardless of his age, he could sense the deep cultivation that was hidden within him. His cultivation was deep and unfathomable, like a vast ocean.
It was just that due to Xiao Xin's lower strength, she was unable to sense the might of the other party. However, he could not allow Xiao Xin to speak in a reckless manner and offend the other party!
"Isn't that the case? What kind of strength can someone this young possibly have!"
The young lady in black turned her head away, somewhat unconvinced. Even though this person was very good-looking, was that enough to make the Dragon Tribe's high-ranking members, including her own father, place so much importance on him?
"You girl, what kind of way is that to speak! When we get back, I'll make sure the tribe leader punishes you severely!"
Duan Tao's face twitched after hearing her words and immediately scolded her. After that, he quickly turned to Xiao Ming with an apologetic smile and said, "Please forgive her, esteemed guest. Xiao Xin has grown up in the Dragon Tribe and has been spoiled since childhood, so she doesn't always know how to measure her words..."
"It's fine. I'm not that petty of a person. Let's go meet your tribe leader now."
Such a minor matter naturally wouldn't bother Xiao Ming, who then took the lead to leave. However, as they passed by the girl in black, Ying Huanhuan standing next to him glared at the other party, causing her to suddenly freeze in place.
Her Master might be easygoing, but that didn't mean she was as well.
It wasn't until the group had left for a while that the girl known as Xiao Xin came to her senses. She turned her head, thinking about regaining her dignity, but remembering Duan Tao's words, her body trembled involuntarily. Finally, she stomped her foot and followed them.
Soon, an ancient stone hall appeared in the sight of Xiao Ming's group. Duan Tao's expression grew solemn upon seeing this. Subsequently, he landed on the ground. A group of figures could be seen outside the stone hall. An aura as obscure as the clouds quietly spread from within their bodies.
Xiao Ming and the Ying Huanhuan trio also landed in front of the stone hall. Looking up, they saw several elderly figures. These people appeared to be quite ancient, with wrinkles on their faces resembling gullies. However, a formidable strength was hidden beneath their elderly appearance.
Standing right in front was a muscular middle-aged man. He wore an ordinary linen robe and didn't really stand out. In fact, it was extremely easy for one to overlook him at first glance. However, this man was the most formidable individual among the group...
