Presumably, Xu Dong's previous negative attitude had angered the King. He sighed lightly and thanked his silently.

In any case, it had saved his life.

After confirming that it was safe, Xu Dong casually found a cave to rest for the night. With his current state, he was not suitable to continue rushing forward.

Xu Dong carried Qing Lan on his back. After exiting the cave, sitting here and waiting for death was not an option.

He vaguely remembered her mentioning that the Wilderness Tribe was on the edge of the Wilderness. Facing the sandstorm, his steps were firm as he walked forward. After an unknown amount of time had passed, the wind became lighter by quite a bit and the person behind him suddenly moved. Xu Dong was overjoyed. "Qing Lan?"

Qing Lan covered her head with a headache. She stared at Xu Dong's back for a long while before finally reacting. Put me down, I can walk by myself. "

Xu Dong carefully put Qing Lan down. "Are you alright?" Looking at her pale face, Xu Dong was still a little worried in his heart.

Qing Lan shook her head, the mental injury would take a long time to recover, although it was not too bad for her body, but she would not be able to use her illusion techniques for a short period of time. Lowering her head, she was in a somewhat depressed mood. If that was the case, then when that giant serpent invaded, she could only sit and watch the elders fight.

"Right, where is the snake?" Qing Lan suddenly raised her head as a trace of fear flashed past her eyes. It was as if she was worried that she would disturb the giant snake, and even intentionally lowered her voice.

"Oh, I was scared away." Qing Lan calmly nodded his head, and after a moment, as if he had realized something, he looked at Xu Dong in disbelief, and couldn't even speak properly. You said that the giant snake was scared away by you? " She opened her eyes wide, as if she had heard the most horrifying thing.

Xu Dong shrugged helplessly, and did not go into detail: "No matter what, let's go back to your tribe. You have been out for so long, so it would be better to not worry about your clansmen."

Qing Lan nodded, and did not say a word as she brought Xu Dong to the tribe. Along the way, she would occasionally take the chance when Xu Dong was not paying attention to steal a glance at him.

At the age of thirteen or fourteen, if a person protected you with their life, you would remember it for the rest of your life.

The green brick wall was tall, and there were many soldiers guarding it. Seeing Qing Lan, the people on top of the city shouted out loudly, and with a flash of cyan light, a huge grey city gate suddenly appeared on top of the city wall. The city gate was opened, and the two of them entered.

The bustling crowd walked on the street, Xu Dong's attire caused the surrounding people to glance at him frequently, curiously sizing him up.

"The people here rarely see outsiders, so they are very curious about you." Worried that it would cause trouble for Xu Dong, Qing Lan hurriedly explained.

Xu Dong shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. He had initially thought that in the Desolate Land, the tribes would be the most primitive one, but he never thought that it would be like a small city. Looking at the tightly shut doors of every household, including the guards on patrol, he could roughly guess the reason why the city was so heavily guarded.

Qing Lan did not stop, and directly brought Xu Dong to where the tribe leader was.

From a distance, Xu Dong saw a man with a stern expression sitting at the center of the hall. His face was haggard, his eyes narrowed into slits, and there were lines of wrinkles on his forehead. Beside him, there was a middle-aged man around forty years of age, with a rough build, and a full beard that covered his entire chin. What left a deep impression in his mind was that his left eye was covered with a black cloth, while his right eye was as white as a fish.

Looking at the man's appearance, Xu Dong could roughly guess that he should be the uncle Qing Song that Qing Lan spoke of.

Qing Lan stepped forward and told them everything that happened in the Wilderness. The gazes that they looked at Xu Dong with changed from their initial vigilance to shock and finally turned into deep shock. The patriarch looked at the person in front of him and thought, He's at most fifteen years old, and he's actually able to scare away that giant snake?

"I wonder what this little brother's name is?" The patriarch patted his sleeves as he looked at Xu Dong. With a calm tone, he did not think of him as a Predecessor at all. If what Qing Lan said was true, then this person's strength could not be underestimated.

"His name is Xu Dong." Without waiting for Xu Dong's reply, Qing Lan took a step forward and stole the subject. Looking at the few people's smiles that were not really a smile, Qing Lan seemed to realize that he was being a little too agitated. He stomped his feet, lowered his head, and blushed like a cooked shrimp.

Seeing that she was so cute that she did not expose them, Xu Dong coughed lightly and bowed to them: "Qing Lan is exaggerating a little, this junior here is only using the Martial Spirit to restrain this giant serpent, otherwise, I would not be its match."

Hearing Xu Dong say that, the few of them exchanged glances, they were modest and polite, and were not arrogant just because of their own strength. At this age, it was something to be proud of.

"However, that giant serpent hasn't been killed yet. I wonder if it will stir up more trouble in the future. However, since I'm in this city, it probably wouldn't dare to come when it feels my aura." Xu Dong frowned, after hesitating for a moment, he still voiced out his concerns.

After a long while, he finally said hesitantly: "That beast has tasted human flesh, it will not give up like this, I do not know if little brother Xu Dong can stay in the tribe for a period of time, we have suffered great losses because of that beast, I am afraid we no longer have the strength to fight, little brother, I do not know about you …"
