Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Ancient Thunder Dragon (Please Follow)
The moment Chen Mo stepped into the mountain gate, he felt as if he had entered a hidden paradise.
Various ancient wooden fortresses were built against the mountain, surrounded by flowing water and Spirit Plants. The tribe’s people wore a mix of modern apparel and linen garments. freeweɓnovel.cøm
At this moment, they were generally busy, likely preparing for the evening’s Thunder God festival.
Moreover, the Thunder Dragon Tribe was far larger than Chen Mo had imagined. At a glance, he saw hundreds of wooden fortresses.
This was at least a tribe of a thousand people.
"Your tribe is quite large."
"Of course! This whole area near Leilong Mountain is our territory. We even have dedicated Spiritual Beast Garden and Spirit Medicine Garden!"
The young girl, Ling Lan, said with some pride.
"Uncle Liu, Sister Yun, let me first take you to the place you’ll stay, then I can show you around our village!"
Ling Lan continued, her voice crisp and pleasant.
"No rush, girl. I want to ask if Elder Ao Qing is around?"
Liu Guo’an asked.
The leader of the Thunder Dragon Tribe is the High Priest, followed by the Clan Leader and the Nine Elders.
Responsible for liaising with Hongmeng Company was the Nine Elder Ao Qing mentioned by Liu Guo’an.
"Elder Ao seems to be in the Spiritual Beast Garden. I’ll take you to find him."
Soon, Ling Lan led everyone to a small woodland area.
This place was the Spiritual Beast Garden of the Thunder Dragon Tribe, home to a large number of Spiritual Beasts, similar to cultivation bases on Blue Star.
At a tower at the entrance of the Spirit Beast Garden, two white-haired elders were drinking tea and chatting.
One of them was Elder Ao Qing.
Seeing Liu Guo’an, he hurried out to greet them, evidently not their first exchange.
Chen Mo took a sneaky glance at the items being exchanged and felt that Hongmeng Company was going to be hung on the streetlamp.
It was such a rip-off.
What Hongmeng Company provided to the tribe were merely common daily supplies, like mirrors, clothes, food, etc.
Whereas what Ao Qing gave in return were valuable resources like Spirit Beast Crystal Core, wild ginseng, mild ore, and Purple Thunder Bamboo.
No wonder their escort fees are so high!
After completing the company’s task, Ling Lan took the group to a village located halfway up the mountain.
The village was surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side, very airy and dry, with just the right five rooms inside.
The five people each chose a room.
"Chirp~"
The little fox jumped off Chen Mo’s shoulder, curiously eyeing the fresh things in the room.
Whether it was the bed, the vine chair, or even the washing area, all were made of natural wood or vines, giving a sense of returning to nature.
Used to sleeping in the company’s big bed, now staying in such an all-natural wooden fortress felt like a vacation.
"Woo~"
Watching the Blazing Flame Fox run around, Cang Hai’s Heart couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.
It’s another day wishing to become small.

"Don’t worry, I’ll brush a miniaturizing entry on you later."
Chen Mo comforted.
"Woo—"
Having traveled all day, plus the village being so vast and only four or five hours before the festival began, the team chose to rest in their rooms.
Chen Mo took out a tablet, ready to watch a previously downloaded movie with Xiao Jiu and Xinghai.
By the way, brush the duration of [Internet Addicted Youth].
Earlier on the road, Chen Mo spent most of his time playing small games like Fruit Ninja and Protect Radish, and had brushed quite a bit of time.
Soon, night fell.
Two moons high in the sky emitted a bright glow.
"The festival is about to begin. Everyone, follow me!"
Ling Lan arrived at the village, calling everyone.
Under Ling Lan’s lead, Chen Mo and others took the mountain path deep into Leilong Mountain and finally arrived at a giant mountain gate flanked by two massive boulders.
"We’ve arrived!"
Upon entering the gate, Chen Mo was utterly stunned by the scene before him.
The first thing that caught his eye was an ancient tree with a trunk several tens of meters thick and hundreds of meters high, its lush branches and leaves making it impossible to see the top even with a raised head.
Under the night sky, the enormous tree emitted a blue-purple glow, dreamlike. In the light of the torches, the tree’s bark shone with a dark purple metallic sheen, like dragon scales.
Countless people holding torches formed layers around the giant tree. At this moment, they were singing loudly in a strange language or dancing with their Spiritual Beasts, the atmosphere was very lively.
Besides, many rectangular wooden tables surrounded the ancient tree, filled with various fruits and foods.
"Chirp!"
The firelight reflected in Xiao Jiu’s eyes, the little guy also infected by this atmosphere.
"So beautiful!"
The two girls in the team exclaimed unconsciously.
"This is the god-welcoming ceremony, the festival has already begun!"
Ling Lan said excitedly.
The Thunder Dragon festival happened once a year, and she had experienced many; this day was the most important of the year for the Thunder Dragon Tribe.
Chen Mo used his Spirit Master Bracelet to scan the central ancient tree, but the screen only showed a string of question marks.
So he had no choice but to ask the little girl next to him:
"Ling Lan, is this ancient tree also a kind of Spiritual Beast?"
"Mm-hmm, this is our tribe’s Holy Tree Dragon Soul Ancient Tree. Thousands of years ago, after Lord Thunder Dragon fell into a deep sleep here, it transformed from its dragon soul and essence."
"The legend is true?"
Chen Mo couldn’t help but recall the legend about Thundercliff he had read before.
"This is not legend, but history. Lord Thunder Dragon did not die, and all these years we have actually lived on its body."
At this moment, a calm voice came from behind the group.
It was the High Priest.
She was still veiled in black, but the golden Thunder Dragon embroidery on her black robe was shining brightly, as if it might come alive.
Hearing this, Chen Mo was startled, and the image of overlooking Thundercliff from the air during his rift journey surfaced in his mind.
If the Hundred Thousand Great Mountain is the body of an Ancient Thunder Dragon, it would be terrifying!
Merely its body has birthed an ecological secret realm where countless humans and Spiritual Beasts survive.
Even Totem Rank Spiritual Beasts can’t reach this level!
Only Mythical Rank!
This Ancient Thunder Dragon is a mythical lifeform!
"Since you’re allowed to participate in the festival, it’s not a secret to you anymore."
The High Priest continued:
"Thousands of years ago, our ancestors, the Thunder Emperor, and his Spiritual Beast, the Thunder Dragon, once battled the invading Evil God from another world here. Although the Thunder Dragon eventually defeated the Evil God, it also was exhausted and fell asleep here and sealed the Evil God with its body."
"The Thunder Emperor stayed here accompanying the Thunder Dragon until his life’s end. After the Thunder Emperor passed, we descendants have followed an ancient teaching, guarding this place continuously."
"And the Thunder Dragon festival is the ceremony to honor the Thunder Emperor and the Thunder Dragon, and to hope they bless the descendants."
After speaking, the High Priest slowly walked towards the central Dragon Soul Ancient Tree.
Along the way, all the tribe members of the Thunder Dragon Tribe, including the Clan Leader, slightly bowed their heads to show respect.
"Let the ritual begin!"
The High Priest came to an altar more than ten meters from the Dragon Soul Ancient Tree and then raised his arms to call out.
The voice was calm yet full of power.
