Chapter 1920 - 1916: Wildland Butchers
At this moment, a pink deer rushed out, resembling a celestial deer, giving a sense of spirit communication.
Xia Xinyu saw the pink deer appear, walked over, and gently stroked the deer’s face, causing the deer to squint its eyes and nuzzle Xia Xinyu!
Xia Xinyu felt ticklish from the nuzzling, and giggled there.
Then Xia Xinyu offered to Tang Zhong, "This is the mount of our Goddess Tribe, the divine deer. Would you like to touch him?"
Tang Zhong was indeed tempted to touch it, so he moved closer, though he was a bit afraid that the divine deer might butt him!
Upon careful observation, the divine deer’s antlers were incredibly slim; should they pierce a person’s body, anyone would perish!
"Will he butt me?" Tang Zhong inquired.
Xia Xinyu laughed and said, "No, Little Tooth is the gentlest divine deer. They and her mother are both divine deer of our Goddess Tribe. I’ve grown up this much, and I’ve never seen Little Tooth harm anyone. Come and try touching them!"
Tang Zhong nodded, looking at Little Tooth as he drew closer!
Little Tooth seemed to understand the owner’s intention, and after calling out twice, it lowered its head as if allowing Tang Zhong to stroke it.
Tang Zhong placed his hand on Little Tooth’s head, feeling a softness akin to touching a carpet!
Moreover, Little Tooth squinted its eyes, showing a very enjoying demeanor!
"How does it feel? I didn’t lie to you, did I?" Xia Xinyu laughed and said.
"No, it really is very comfortable!" Tang Zhong said.
"Let’s go, Little Tooth can lead us to the Great Li Tribe!" Xia Xinyu hopped onto Little Tooth’s back, extending her hand toward Tang Zhong.
Tang Zhong nodded as well and mounted the divine deer!
Little Tooth exclaimed once, its four hooves galloping, moving forward.
Its hooves weren’t stepping on the ground but were slightly floating in the air, leaving a trail of pink light wherever they stepped.
The chieftain watched Tang Zhong and Xia Xinyu preparing to leave, and shouted, "You must come back safely, alright?"
Xia Xinyu nodded, "We will!"
Actually, Xia Xinyu wasn’t sure what would happen after they left, perhaps she and Tang Zhong would die there. If they really reached such a point, she would use her own life to threaten Zhou Ze to release Tang Zhong, after all, the other party wasn’t someone from their Goddess Tribe, just that she didn’t know if it would be effective.
Tang Zhong was now very curious about the Great Wilderness, unaware of how vast this place was!
"No matter who you meet on the road, don’t engage in conversation!" Xia Xinyu instructed.
"Why?" Tang Zhong shook his head and asked.
"Because the Great Wilderness is very tumultuous, and there are so many tribal conflicts. It’s best not to reveal that you’re from a weaker tribe, or the consequences will be extremely dire!" Xia Xinyu said, "Our Goddess Tribe is just a small tribe, and many who roam outside have been robbed, with some even losing their lives because of it!"
Tang Zhong thought it was just robbery, wasn’t it?
Is the Great Wilderness really this chaotic?
"Isn’t there anyone governing this? Shouldn’t there be any laws?" Tang Zhong asked.
As soon as he spoke, he felt an unusual gaze, turning his head to see Xia Xinyu looking at him, with a confused expression, as if she was looking at a madman!
"No one will manage it!" Xia Xinyu said, "But what is this law?"
"Law is fairness, for instance, whose property it is belongs to whom, if anyone dares to take it, the law will target the person, continuously forcing them to return the property!" Tang Zhong enumerated.
What he said now was simply a straightforward principle from the Haotian Divine Dynasty he came from!
However, Xia Xinyu was shocked, apparently never having heard such words, finding them very captivating!
"And then what?" Xia Xinyu asked.
"Nothing more!" Tang Zhong replied.
"This law is really good!" Xia Xinyu said, "Hopefully, we won’t encounter those robbers on the road!"
But just as Xia Xinyu’s words fell, a few vicious wolves sprang out in front of Little Tooth, and atop the wolves were people dressed in animal skins holding wolf fang clubs, looking exceptionally fierce!
Little Tooth suddenly stopped.
Xia Xinyu stared at the opponent, her face growing increasingly grim.
"Trouble!"
"How did we encounter them!"
Tang Zhong was stunned, "Who are they?"
"They are the Wilderness Butchers of the Great Wilderness, primarily robbing people from various tribes!" Xia Xinyu explained.
"Ah!" Tang Zhong responded, "If they’re just Wilderness Butchers, then there’s nothing to be afraid of!"
"Don’t fight them, conserve your Wilderness Force, if you fight with these Wilderness Butchers, when it comes to facing Zhou Ze, you’ll be easily defeated!" Xia Xinyu advised.
The Wilderness Force should be one’s inner strength, equivalent to physical strength.
For a normal Wilderness Force expert, this was so, but for Tang Zhong, his inner strength was continuous, how could he expend it all?
He immediately waved his hand, "Rest assured, as long as I’m here, no circumstances will arise!"
Then Tang Zhong looked at those Wilderness Butchers and asked, "Aren’t you going to scram now?"
His voice was extremely cold, giving a strong sense of oppression.
The Wilderness Butchers hesitated briefly, not expecting the people they intercepted this time to say such things; despite being robbers in the Great Wilderness, few people ever battled them, as travelers in the Great Wilderness were always cautious, fearing danger. This behavior was truly unique; asking them to scram? What a joke?
The leader, known as Cyclops, wielding a wolf fang club, glared at Tang Zhong and said, "Boy, which tribe are you from, daring to speak thusly to us Wilderness Butchers, are you seeking death? I’ve captured those about to go to the Spring Autumn Academy, do you think you’ll be my match?"
When Tang Zhong heard this, he paused; he had been prepared to strike directly at these Wilderness Butchers and kill them, but now hesitated because he heard about those about to go to the Spring Autumn Academy. He was now in the Great Wilderness and needed an identity. Those individuals destined for the Spring Autumn Academy captured by these people were surely already dead, as by Tang Zhong’s understanding, the Spring Autumn Academy is a powerful place, and people from that Academy are undoubtedly proud, likely fighting to the death against these Wilderness Butchers, but ultimately failing.
So that person was already dead.
If he were to take that person’s identity now, it would give him an origin in the Great Wilderness.
With that thought, Tang Zhong said, "Capture me instead!"
"No, if they capture you, you’ll die!" Xia Xinyu cried out!
"Don’t worry!" Tang Zhong said.
The reason he was allowing himself to be captured was because he wasn’t afraid of them; they surely wouldn’t kill him!
Indeed, that Wilderness Butcher Cyclops laughed loudly upon hearing this, "That’s more like it!"
