On the crown of a huge tree which was a hundred meters away from the small cabin, several burly figures stood quietly looking at the cabin, and they were all horrified.
“Elders, what do you think?” A figure softly asked first.
“The fluctuation of the energy between the heaven and the earth was too clear and horrifying. Obviously, it was an extremely overbearing cultivation technique. This unknown young man isn’t weak.”
“It is indeed an unbelievable Qi Method. It seems that it isn’t some cultivation method for making our bodies strong. If we can obtain such a Qi cultivation method……”
“Humph, no matter how powerful the Qi cultivation method is, it is useless as he would still die if his internal Qi is used up. What’s more, we don’t know his identity, so it’s better to let him leave as soon as possible and not to have any relationship with him in case of drawing endless war and trouble to our Heavenly Wasteland Tribe.
Ding Hao cultivated for a whole night.
After entering the dual meridian and two-apertured Martial Emperor realm, he did not forcibly improve his Qi realm. Instead, he constantly refined and stabilized the Qi power in his body because he later found that the energy absorbed from the wandering power tide in this world was purer than that he had obtained in the Land of Infinity. The energy here had much higher quality than that in the Land of Infinity
It took Ding Hao a whole night to refine the Qi energy in his body.
It was like a process of removing weeds and preserving the essence, and an inner transformation of his Qi.
The benefits were also obvious.
After completing the refinement of his previous power, Ding Hao found that his body can sense the power tide and power law of this world more clearly. He could use the power of this world at will and no longer felt as sluggish as before.
Although it was not an improvement in realm, such changes would have an immeasurable impact on Ding Hao’s cultivation in the future.
When a streak of light came in the oriental, Ding Hao noticed something and slowly walked out of the cabin.
The morning mist was still drifting in the air.
Before the sun rose, it was frozen outside. The white air from his mouth could be seen clearly, and even the birds refused to come out of their nests.
Chu stood quietly at the door of the wooden cabin.
She was holding a small package with her thin body trembling and her smiling face was grey in the cold wind.
Ding Hao raised his hand, and a warm Qi covered her. He asked in confusion, “Miss Chu, what’s up?”
“Brother Ding, are you leaving?” Chu looked up and asked.
Ding Hao nodded.
“Well…… then take me with you, is it okay? Take me and my brother away from the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe.” Chu’s beautiful big eyes were full of expectation. She looked at Ding Hao with a pleading look.
Ding Hao was slightly stunned and said, “Why do you want to leave?”
Chu lowered his head and said softly, “I don’t want to marry the warriors of the tribe and have children. I want to find a man and ask him why he has never been back for such a long time. I want to tell him that the woman who has always been waiting for him is already dead.”
Ding Hao heard a sense of decisiveness in Nalan Chu’s soft voice.
Therefore, he nodded and said, “Alright. Since you really want to leave this place, I’ll bring you along.”
“Really?” Chu’s weak body shook, and she looked up at Ding Hao in surprise. At first, she just held a glimmer of hope to beg Ding Hao because it was very difficult to take such a weak person like herself out of the Ocean Forest, not to mention her silly brother.
Chu thought that she would be refused by Ding Hao politely.
Unexpectedly, Ding Hao agreed so easily.
This little girl could hardly conceal the ecstasy in her heart now.
“Of course, it’s true.” Ding Hao smiled, looking at the sky in the distance, and said, “I’m leaving here soon. Do you need to prepare for something? Do you need to say goodbye to the people in the tribe?”
“No, no……” Chu shook her head and said, “I have no friends here, and I don’t need to say goodbye to them except Granny Medicine, but I have already told her.”
“That’s good.” Ding Hao nodded, took out some food, handed it over, and said, “Please eat it with your brother. We will leave in a while.”
Chu suppressed excitement in her heart but still jumped up happily.
Looking at the back of the little girl, Ding Hao smiled.
She was indeed a kind and innocent little girl.
Perhaps from the very beginning when Chu brought him back in the wildness, she had held such thoughts. After all, judging from Ding Hao’s clothes and appearance, he did not look like a native of the Ocean Forest. She wanted to get out of the dangerous forest with his help.
However, had she not taken him to the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe, he who was unconscious might have been eaten by the horrifying beasts in the forest. Moreover, in the past three months, the little girl had been taking care of him who was in a coma. In any case, she was his lifesaver.
It was Ding Hao’s principle to repay kindness.
Therefore, after Chu said her hopes, Ding Hao agreed just after a little hesitation.
Back to the wooden house, Ding Hao sorted out the things in his hands. When he turned around and came out, Chu was already waiting outside the wooden house with the silly young man Nalan Youxia. Obviously, she was afraid that Ding Hao would leave suddenly.
“Let’s go.”
Looking at the towering mountains in the distance, Ding Hao was very curious about this world.
What exactly was this world?
Soon everything would be unveiled for him.
Since there were different kinds of ancient restrictions setting up inside the tribe, he couldn’t fly.
Under Chu’s leadership, Ding Hao and the other two took many twists and went along a very secret path instead of the main road where warriors in the tribe were patrolling. It took them fifteen minutes to get to the city wall of the tribe.
They didn’t encounter a single guard on the road.
Chu was nervous and afraid that the tribe would stop her from leaving if they found her.
There was a hidden door on the city wall in this section and it could hold one person. It was usually used for emergency. Theoretically speaking, there were soldiers guarding it. Chu was even prepared to be stopped. However, when she got close, she found that there was no one guarding the hidden door.
In the pumping of his heart, Chu quickly walked out of the small door with Ding Hao and his brother. The moment they stepped on the land outside the city wall, the girl finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ding Hao did not speak at all.
When he was hundreds of meters away from the city wall, he turned his head and looked back.
On the city wall in the distance, an old figure in a green straw raincoat was watching them. If Ding Hao was right, he must be the Granny Medicine that Chu mentioned. This old pharmacist in Heavenly Wasteland Tribe was the only friend of Chu and her brother. In fact, it was this Granny Medicine who protected them secretly, so everything went so smoothly.
Otherwise, why would Chu be able to come out of the village so smoothly under such tight patrolling?
Ding Hao nodded to show his gratitude to the figure with grey hair on the city wall.
He believed that the other party must have seen it.
About a few hundred meters away from the tribe, Ding Hao smiled and said, “Well, we have to hurry.”
Before Chu and Nalan Youxia realized, their bodies suddenly became tight, and they directly flew up into the sky. There were sounds of wind in their ears, and everything in their sight was retreating. In an instant, they were in the sky. Chu exclaimed in shock, and her small hands grasped Ding Hao’s arm tightly.
“Haha, it is so fun, and it’s beautiful……” The silly Nalan Youxia in white looked at the scenery below with a smile.
In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe had disappeared into the distance.
The Ocean Forest was so vast and it was beyond Ding Hao’s expectations.
Since Chu and her brother had never left their tribe for such a long distance, they did not know the way, either.
For Ding Hao, it was so tricky now because he had no sense of direction.
After flying for a while in the sky, Ding Hao found that the scenery in front of him was a little familiar. When he looked carefully, he found that he had passed by this place about an hour ago, but now he came back again.
“Let’s have a rest first.”
Landing beside a small pure lake, Ding Hao decided not to fly around blindly before he figured out the direction. Along the way, he vaguely felt a strong aura in the forest. Obviously, there were powerful and fierce beasts hiding in the forest, which could not be underestimated.
When he released his Divine Awareness, he found that there was no danger around, so Ding Hao was relieved and let Nalan Youxia play water in the ford.
It was clearly the first time that Chu had come to a place like this. Her face was flushed with excitement.
After all, she was just a teenager.
Ding Hao was thinking about how to deal with the direction when suddenly several strong auras rushed over from the distance at an extremely fast speed. In an instant, they arrived at the edge of the lake. With a few rumbles, the ground shook, and dozens of figures landed beside the lake like cannonballs.
Chu exclaimed and quickly pulled Nalan Youxia and came to Ding Hao’s side.
They were masters from the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe.
These masters had chased them to this place.
One of them was the muscular man who had appeared yesterday.
“Chu, how dare you betray the tribe?” De Biao’s eyes were like lightning, locking on to Ding Hao and the other two. He looked ferocious.
“No, I don’t……” Chu’s face was pale and she hastily tried to explain herself. “I just want to find my father……”
“Hum! It is just an excuse! Your mother didn’t follow the advice of the tribe at that time but colluded with someone from outside and gave birth to you, which was already a great crime. If it weren’t for the fact that the tribe thought you were too young and had taken care of you, you would have died a long time ago. I never imagined that you not only don’t show gratitude to our tribe but also betray our tribe and stay with some outsider like your mom. You truly have no sense of shame!”
The strong man shouted with a thunderous voice.
“You can’t criticize my mom!” The silly youth in a white robe was suddenly enraged. He picked up a rock and tossed it towards the strong man.
