This is the westernmost hot zone on the Vitality Source Continent, and further west is the hottest region in the world, the Flame Dance Continent. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Although the heat is unbearable, this is the location of the headquarters of the Terran tribe branch. In the depths of the tents that looked like white mushrooms sat a huge and ornate main camp, on which the flags of the three tribes were hoisted low, floating listlessly.

In the main camp, the space that can accommodate nearly 100 people is divided into a square by a rectangular wooden table, on which are placed roast sheep, roast wild boar and various fruits from hot areas. The clansmen of the three tribes sat in three directions, the dwarves and the hunters facing each other, while the Muyuan scholars and Qingkong and the others sat opposite the giants.

The sweltering air upset everyone like a mosquito that doesn't follow them, but there is nothing they can do but relieve it with alcohol. Fortunately, these wines are stored deep underground, which is cool in the mouth but spicy in the stomach.

The maids who came and went frequently filled the empty wine glasses for the tribal leaders and small leaders present, and the cool wine did not relieve the boredom in everyone's hearts, but was a little hot. The maids dangling in front of them were dressed coolly, covered only by a trace of veil. They weaved through the crowd, occasionally harassed by the rough hands of the dwarves. If the hunters do the same thing as they do at this time of day, the hands follow the eyes. But at this moment they were all as silent as the giants who had always behaved, and they did not even pick up the wine glasses on the table. Because their leader's face was dark, they knew what was happening. On the other hand, the dwarves on the other side were feasting and drinking......

"It seems that things are not going well...... "The scholar of Muyuan University looked at the expressions of the three tribal leaders and whispered to the teenagers beside him.

The state of affairs is obvious, at least in the heart of the sky. Originally, as long as Makino settled the hunting clan, the matter of the tribe sending troops was basically completed, but who knew that the bride, who was a bargaining chip, was "gone" and was taken away by a green dragon at this critical moment. This incident not only broke Makino's plan, but also made the Hunter Clan a laughing stock for some people, and looking at the anger in the eyes of the hunter leader Hanteson, he knew that it would take a lot of trouble for him to send troops to rescue Muzhidu and recapture Qingyun City.

"We don't agree with the tribe's sending troops!" seemed to have been brewing for a long time, and Hanterson finally broke the strange atmosphere, and his voice was almost squeezed out between his teeth.

When the leader of the dwarves, O'Hari put down his glass, which was almost taller than himself, and wiped a few drops of wine from his lips, and a mocking expression appeared on his face as strong as a spinning top.

"Old Bear, when did the matter of the tribe become your final say?" Hearing the leader's words, his clansmen also stopped arguing, and O'Hari picked up the ivory cup he put down and took a sip, "Hmph, I believe you know better than anyone else the rules for our three tribes to decide big things together, and that is set by the older generation." Do you need me to repeat this to you again?"

Hanterson's fleshy cheeks twitched, his clenched fists were bruised, and his long, narrow eyes stared fiercely at the dwarf sitting directly across from him.

"All decisions that affect the interests of the entire tribe are decided by the three tribal leaders, and as long as the two leaders ......are in agreement," O'Hari said slowly.

"That's enough, dwarf, don't you know the rules of the tribe for hundreds of years?" Hanterson interrupted the dwarf, "don't think I don't know what the hell you're up to, you...... You just want to use this reason to let the entire tribe avenge the burning of the heroes conference for you. ”

"What are you talking about?!Lao Tzu is for justice...... It's to help those wasted urbanites take home their homes!"

"Justice, go to your justice...... Don't try to avenge you with the lives of my people!"

"Fart ......"

The two leaders quarreled like this, and the more they scolded, the more excited they became, their hands already touching the weapons they were wearing, and their subordinates were confronting each other. Mu Yuan, Qingkong and the others looked at them coldly, but they couldn't dissuade them, they knew that with their current status, they couldn't do such an intervention.

The scholar looked at Tyke, hoping that he would come forward to solve it, only to find that he was looking at him, thinking, not knowing what he meant.

"Bang!"

Tyck's huge palm slapped on the long table. The ivory wine glass on the table shook and fell, splashing a few drops of blood-red wine.

"What do you mean, Chief Tyke?" asked Hanterson with a displeased expression and an unfriendly tone. If in the past, when he and Cheetah O'Hari quarreled or even fought with swords, Tyke would have stepped in to stop it, and he was fair and unbiased, and he would have been able to get by. But today it was different, the giant's attitude was clearly on the side of the dwarves. He will definitely not accept such a partiality result.

Hearing the hunter's question, Tyke's rock-like angular face turned towards him, and he rarely showed a hint of anger as he didn't often show emotion.

Seeing that the situation was about to develop to the point where it was uncontrollable, the scholar of Muyuan University coughed lightly, and the eyes of several tribal leaders turned to him.

"Chiefs, can you listen to some of my suggestions about the tribe's sending troops?" the scholar glanced at the three leaders, and saw that they all had different expressions. The dwarf still had that arrogant, nonchagrant expression, as if no amount of advice he made would stop his decision. And Giant Tyke seemed to expect him to come forward, and he looked like he was listening, and suddenly understood why he was looking at him just now.

"Old man, what advice can you have?, it's just that you want us to help you retake Qingyun City, what's in it for us?!" Hanterson's words were indignant, and his anger shifted to the university scholars.

"Chief Hanterson, I think you should know what's at stake. The reason why you are reluctant to send troops is only because of the 'accident' in the morning, thinking that Makino has deceived you, and you are unwilling to send troops to Qingyun City and indirectly help Makino Capital through the crisis. The scholar said slowly.

To everyone's surprise, the scholars of Muyuan University directly uncovered Hanteson's "scar" and revealed the secret inside.

Hanterson's face became more and more embarrassed, and he said hatefully: "Old man, don't talk nonsense, this is a tribe, be careful with your tongue!"

The atmosphere was a little tense, and both Qingkong and Jin Ming were on guard. Their current location is deep in the tribe, and if something unpleasant happens, it will be a problem to get out.

"The leader has worked too hard, and I will naturally take care of my tongue. But is your sanity still there?" asked Mu Yuan in a strong tone.

"You......" Hanterson's lips quivered. He had also heard from Hans that the old man in front of him could use some evil spells, and knew that he was not simple. Besides, there are dwarves and giants still eyeing them around.

"Chief Hanterson, I don't mean it. Mu Yuan said in a calm tone.

Hearing this, the hunter's anger eased slightly. Mu Yuan knew that his words had a role, and continued, "This time, I want to ask the tribal warriors to send troops to Qingyun City, you know that this is not only to recapture the city that belongs to us and rescue the besieged Mu Capital, but also to recapture the important stronghold of the human race in the northern source. But what you don't know is that there's another important reason......"

The tone behind the scholar was a little heavy, and several leaders could feel it, it was not that he was playing dumb riddles in a trick, but that there was something unspeakable.

Qingkong also felt a little frightened, what else could make the university scholars not mention it until the end. He glanced into the eyes of the scholar and felt that there were many secrets hidden in them, and all kinds of associations came together, and he suddenly thought of a place.

"Could it be about Ryugu?!" As soon as this answer appeared, Qing Kong's heart was suddenly frightened by his own thoughts.

The dragon cave shaped like the heads of five giant dragons lying on the ground, the magical black hole that can travel through time, the valley floor that has been feared by blue dragons for a hundred years, and the easter eggs and broken black eggs...... These bits and pieces of memory were pieced together in his mind. Why did the scholar of Makibuchi appear in the fishing village next to Ryugu? Is he waiting for something, or is he protecting something? Qingkong suddenly discovers that the occurrence of these things is not a coincidence, but seems to be connected, but the exact reason for the connection may only be solved by the university scholar.

The scholar paused for a moment, seeming to have some scruples. He looked around at the tribal warriors sitting in three directions, they were all tribal leaders in different regions of the three tribes, and the small Hans leader he had met before was also among them.

"Can the three leaders let your warriors leave for a while?" Mu Yuan said suddenly. To everyone's surprise, he meant to let the small leaders of the tribe avoid it first.

"Old man, what are you secret, these are my subordinates who were born and died......" O'Hari was the first to express his displeasure. Then, the little leaders of the dwarves present made a disgruntled noise in their rough voices.

"Scholar," Giant Tyke's rugged voice sounded, and the dwarf's side was quiet, and his tone was respectful, "you don't have to be so cautious if you have anything to say. ”

Mu Yuan said resolutely: "Leaders, this matter has to be cautious. ”

Seeing such a persistent scholar, Giant Tyke made eye contact with the other two leaders and agreed to his request. The small leaders of the three tribes began to evacuate the main camp one after another, and the dwarves and hunters who left were more or less concerned and slightly angry, but they could not say anything.

In the end, there were still two more people left in the main camp. The lieutenant of the dwarven leader O'Harry, and the son of Hanterson, "White Tiger" Hangeba. These two people are absolutely trustworthy people of the two leaders, and the university scholars don't care about anything else.

"Another important reason for sending troops—" The scholar glanced at the teenagers beside him and continued, "to ensure the safety of Ryugu. ”

"That's really the case...... "Qing Kong said secretly in his heart. He glanced at Jin Ming and Lu'er, and they were also surprised.

None of the three tribal leaders seemed to have thought of this as the reason.

"Old man, are you kidding us?" the dwarf roared to his feet.

"Father Bear," Hanterson, inadvertently showed a sly smile at the corner of his mouth. If there is no other "important reason" called by the university scholars, the statements of the dwarves and giants just now would definitely support sending troops. And now the university scholars are asking the tribesmen to evacuate the main camp, and they are playing dumb riddles in a mysterious way, and after tossing for a long time, they are told that it is actually to protect a valley of their experience. The elf's temper must have thought that he had been tricked, and the displeasure on the giant's face showed that the old man's "important reason" did not impress him.

Mu Yuan didn't mind the dwarf's anger, and asked rhetorically, "Leaders, do you know what kind of place Dragon Valley is?"

"Hmph, how could you not know!" the dwarven leader blew up his yellowed beard and stared at his eyes the size of a beard, "Isn't this the place where you urban terrans play and hunt?"

Father Bear was silent on one side, and the dwarf said everything he had to say.

The scholars of Muyuan University did not heed his slanderous description.

"First of all, I want to correct a little. Dragon Valley is not a place for the leader to play and hunt, but a place for all the young generations of the Terran to be promoted. The young master next to me was just promoted to a dragon master there not long ago, and everyone must have seen him control the dragon. One of them is ......" Mu Yuan glanced at Hanteson, who was watching coldly, "Miss Mu Tian was supposed to appear this morning!"

Father Xiong paused for a moment, and said in his heart: "The person who was supposed to appear this morning? Isn't that the bride sent by Makino to get married?"

The corners of his mouth curled with remorse. He definitely didn't know that the "chips" sent by Makino were actually a new champion, but ...... Why didn't Makino tell himself? No, with Makino's cunning and greedy character, he would definitely not leave such a good thing to me, or maybe he arranged it on purpose. But...... What is his intention in arranging a master by his side?

The hunter's suspicious inner world begins to flood, not knowing whether the unexpected failure of this "marriage" is a bad thing or a good thing.

"But even if that broken valley is really as important as you say, even Qingyun City has already fallen, who cares about that broken valley. The dwarf continued to scream, and Tyke's expression changed, as if sensing something.

"No one cares because no one knows how important Dragon Valley really is to this world, and what I'm most worried about now is whether the Dark Coalition knows about ......" Mu Yuan's expression was serious, and he said something that confused everyone, "Dragon Valley was born with this world. ”

"Born with the world?" said Qing Kong, who had known the legend for a long time, what did it have to do with "the magical black hole that travels through time, the valley of fear of the hundred-year-old blue dragon, and the easter eggs and broken black egg ......"?

"What does that mean?" the giant asked stiffly.

"Everyone has heard the legend of the origin of the world. Aizawa is the god of the stars, and all the worlds in the stars are created by him. And every time he creates a world, he leaves a 'mark' as a bridge between him and the world. This 'mark' can be an ancient tree, a rock, one of thousands of stars, a piece of rivers, lakes and seas, or a ......."

"A valley," the giant took his words, "we have also heard these legends and tales of the scholars, so please get to the point." ”

Although the giant's tone was a little impatient, he was also the only one among the three leaders who still had some overall vision, Mu Yuan nodded and continued: "Yes, Dragon Valley is the 'mark' left by the god of love in this world. ”

"Haha...... It's ridiculous!" Father Bear sneered, "Old man, you will use legends to fool us when you send troops for us? Do you think we are all three-year-olds?"

Mu Yuan stroked his pale beard and said, "More than ten years ago, I accidentally picked up a strange parchment book somewhere in Dragon Valley......"

"It turns out that university scholars have been there. Qing Kong thought quietly in his heart, this is for sure, he knows that the bottom of the dragon valley is full of dragon eggs.

"The reason why that tome is strange is that it is a tome of magic, and every time I finish reading a page, the page disappears as if it never existed...... The most important thing is that there is a terrible thing recorded in ancient texts in ancient texts - the 'mark' accompanied the beginning of the world, and there were other things that also came into being with the 'mark'. ”

The more the scholar spoke, the more serious his expression became, and he seemed to fall into a deep memory.

"That's ...... What?" The dwarf's voice was still heavy, but it also smelled a hint of fear. He is not afraid of thousands of enemies, but he is afraid of the fear that he cannot hear or see.

"They are described in the ancient books as 'destruction'. Since it was written in ancient texts, it may be translated as something else, in short, it is synonymous with some bad things. Mu Yuan said.

"What are these 'destructions' for?" Jin Ming's fat face was also a little strange, not only him, but everyone's eyes were on the university scholar.

"As mentioned above, 'destruction' is a dark creature summoned when the god of Edsee wants to destroy a world......"

"Heh, even if what you say is true. That resurrected a dark legion in Zhongzhou, this will be another dark creature from the Dragon Valley, this is lively, are the two darkness darker than who?" The hunter's lean and thin face was not worried, but a little lively.

"Is this world really going to be destroyed?" Listening to the words of the university scholar, Lu'er's delicate little face also became nervous at this time.

"That's not allowed," the scholar said, softening the atmosphere, "whether it's a legend or not, or a 'joke' left by the ancestors who entered the Dragon Valley before. But the ancient books say that these 'destructions' were sealed in a corner of Dragon Valley before the God of Aize destroyed the world, and my fear is that if the Dark Alliance awakens them, intentionally or unintentionally, the world will be destroyed! ”

After the scholar finished speaking, the three tribal leaders all fell into deep thought, and even the hunter leader stopped joking about the matter. It is better to trust that they should be on guard than to wake up when calamity befalls us.

Jin Ming looked at the leader of the Hunter Clan, he knew that Father Xiong's decision was crucial. When he looked over and saw that the White Tiger Han Geba was staring at him, he nodded unconsciously, and the latter glanced at him and lowered his head and whispered a few words to Father Bear. Father Bear didn't know what he had heard, and his eyes seemed to glow.

For a moment, the scholar saw the will in the eyes of the dwarves and giants, but the attitude of the hunters was still incomprehensible.

"I also agree to send troops, but ......" Father Xiong suddenly looked at Jin Ming, "I have one condition. ”

"What conditions?" asked the scholar.

Hanteson pointed at Jin Ming and said to him, "I want that young man to stay in our hunting clan and send troops with us to help." ”

"Impossible!" Sky stood up suddenly, his eyes filled with anger, as if someone was trying to steal his treasure.

Mu Yuan comforted him with his hand, but to his surprise, Jin Ming didn't say anything.

"Hmph, if I agree, I'll go out with the two leaders. If we don't agree, we won't risk the lives of our people to do something that doesn't outweigh the losses. Father Bear didn't care about the dwarves and giants' gazes, and said forcefully.

Mu Yuan only thought for a moment as he spoke, and then seemed to understand his purpose, but he still asked, "I wonder what the leader's responsibility is to keep this young man who has not yet passed the coming-of-age ceremony?"

There was a hint of reluctance on Father Bear's stiff face, as if it was difficult to say why, "Because this young man's guardian beast is the patron saint of our hunting clan, the wolf bear, we are not allowed to see it wander with a foreign ......."

Both the dwarf and the giant looked at him, knowing that he was just trying to draw the boy into his camp and increase his strength. Qingkong looked at Jin Ming, and the latter was thoughtful, he knew that it must be the result of the White Tiger Hangeba's whispering just now.

"Don't worry, I promise that he will be treated with courtesy in our clan, and if he behaves well, he will be able to be a little leader in a few years. As if the reasoning seemed far-fetched, Hanterson added,

"Who is rare to be your little leader......" Seeing that Jin Ming did not say anything, Qingkong said in an unkind tone. He looked at the hunter's scheming eyes, and didn't know what he had in mind for this request, but he didn't want to risk the fat man whatever it was.

"Can you let me think about it?" Jin Ming said suddenly.

"Fatty, you ......" Qingkong looked surprised.

"It seems that the two brothers have a disagreement," Hanterson smirked, "well, then give you half a day to think about it, and we'll talk about it at dinner." However, please give our tribe an answer at that time, it is up to you whether you can send troops or not. "Father Bear cleverly puts the blame on Jin Ming, so that even the dwarves and giants can't argue with him.

The banquet dispersed, and everyone left the table with their own hearts.

The scholar thought about Jin Ming's words just now, and recalled his ambitions when he first stepped into the wilderness. The scholar knew that he was not impulsive, and that might be his fate. Ever since God had given him a strange beast wolf bear in Dragon Valley, his fate had changed. Whether it was for the sake of the Hunters or for his own ambitions, it seemed that it was fate to stay. And what is needed now is to let Qingkong understand this, and the person who tells him can only be Jin Ming himself.

So, the scholar beckoned Lu'er to his room to discuss the route of the Yunlin Strange Continent, and the little girl only hesitated for a moment, and then understood the reason, leaving only Qingkong and Jin Ming to walk in the tribe's camp.

"Little empty ......" Jin Ming said tentatively, he didn't know Qingkong's mood at this time, but it must not be joyful.

"You've really decided that?" Aoku interrupted him as he looked into the distance, his tone unusually calm.

Jin Ming was afraid of such a sky, he would rather he scold himself, beat himself, and twist his ears as usual, rather than be calm at this time.

"Yes!" Jin Ming nodded heavily, and the three tribal flags behind him also fluttered, "Xiaokong, I said, I don't want to be a burden to you anymore, I have to become strong to assist you and find my father." But...... I will never be strong under your protection. And in the Hunter Hunter is an opportunity, a best opportunity. ”

"But ......" Qingkong is no longer calm, "But the cunning hunter is obviously not well-intentioned, and I am afraid of ...... of sending troops to Qingyun City on this trip."

Jin Ming walked up to him and looked at his green eyes, "How could I not know?" but didn't you notice Xiaokong...... This is the way this world is, only the strong have the right to speak, and I will only become stronger under the guidance of Father Bear. Moreover...... That white tiger Hangeba, I don't seem to feel so bad about him, and I am confident that no matter what tricks Father Bear has, I will see through it. ”

Qingkong looked at Jin Ming's slightly red eyes, and suddenly stepped forward and hugged him, "Fat man......"

"Boss. Jin Ming also greeted him warmly.

"Remember, I will always be your boss and your backer. I won't allow anyone to bully you but me, not anyone. If someone does this, even at the end of the earth or the cape, I will find him, so that his life is worse than death!" A cold light flashed in Qingkong's blue eyes, but it was very warm in Jin Ming's heart.

Jin Ming hugged him tightly, and the words in his mouth had been swallowed.

"Xiaokong, your friendship with me, I can only repay it with thousands of troops, this is my fate. ”
