My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 963 - 786: Tao Sect Disciples on Earth (Extended - )
He waved his bronze arm, thicker than Yang Yue’s waist, generating gusts of wind.
Yang Yue shook her head, "Vision! The Sect Master often teaches us to look at the world from a higher perspective, talking about uniting all forces that can be united, about human resources being the most valuable, and so on. Although I don’t quite understand it myself, we certainly can’t handle problems so simply and crudely."
"The Sect Master says that our Human Race, and even the entire Endless World, are under the threat of the Devil Race. The Sect Master travels from world to world to find power to oppose the Devil Race, so we should think about what use the Alien Race on this continent has before deciding how to handle them. That way, we can help the Sect Master and benefit our Human Race."
"Oh, oh." Li Erniu nodded, "Anyway, I don’t understand, so you decide."
Yang Yue was silent for a while, "Never mind, let’s find that adventure group first."
It was their first time on Earth, but it didn’t feel unfamiliar.
They had long heard that there were many rune technology products in the Tao Sect, which they were already very familiar with using.
The two flew towards the location agreed upon in the mission, and after about fifty to sixty minutes, Yang Yue raised her hand to look at her tactical wristwatch, not because she wanted to check the time, nor because it was a limited edition World Tree watch, but to look for signals to contact the surroundings.
As a limited edition watch, its value lies not in its limited availability, but in the fact that the watch incorporates a bit of World Tree branch material, offering a communication range three times that of the highest-end watches, with strong anti-interference and concealment capabilities.
Since the adventure group discovered the Jackal Wolfman Tribe and sent back the message, reporting layer by layer, and then they came from the Mountain and Sea Realm... Although the efficiency was quite high, it was still more than half a day.
That adventure group couldn’t possibly wait in place.
Yang Yue and Li Erniu reached the region where the Jackal Wolfman Tribe was located, searched for signals, and found that Far Voyage Adventure Group.
They heard it was a seven-star adventure group.
Have they been to many places?
...
"Oh ho! The reward for discovering the Jackal Wolfman Tribe is here!"
He Yuanhang showed a smile of joy.
Other members looked over, some stepping on Mutant Beasts, no longer in a hurry to deal with their corpses.
"The Guild registered us with an S-level mission, and the contribution is calculated in the leaderboard for the exploration of the New Continent."
This could be said to be the easiest S-level mission the Far Voyage Adventure Group had ever completed.
Equivalent to getting it for free!
"Moreover, there’s more to this mission," He Yuanhang said, "Green Shadow City has sent experts. We have two choices: one is to complete the handover with Green Shadow City’s experts, and the other is to cooperate with Green Shadow City’s experts to continue investigating the Alien Races on this continent, with considerable rewards."
He paused, "What do you think?"
"Anyway, we’re exploring the New Continent, so anywhere is exploration. Of course, we should hold onto the thighs of the experts from Green Shadow City! They’re definitely stronger than you, Captain."
"Ahem, don’t say that, the Captain is at least a seven-star adventurer, though not even nine-star adventurers can compare to those top army strongmen."
"The depths of this island must be pretty dangerous; who knows what strongmen will come? Are there any handsome guys?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
He Yuanhang: "..."
Suddenly, the tactical wristwatch vibrated, and he raised his hand to look, "The experts from Green Shadow City contacted me. They’re nearby."
He Yuanhang and others found a prominent hilltop, and a few minutes later, two small black dots appeared in their line of sight.
They wore uniforms that were clearly the style of Green Shadow, and most importantly, the vibration of his wristwatch already indicated their identity.
Experts from Green Shadow City.
A man and a woman, both looking quite young, the woman’s appearance was not outstanding, at most scoring 80 points; the man was robust.
His arm was thicker than He Yuanhang’s thigh... thrice over.
Most importantly, these two were completely unfamiliar to them.
He Yuanhang was somewhat puzzled.
Those responsible for handling Alien Race matters must be strong, and he guessed it could be Lu Xiaopeng, or Peng Bo; he was quite familiar with both. There were also some strongmen in the army he wasn’t familiar with, but at least knew of. Although He Yuanhang’s strength didn’t rank in Green Shadow City, he wasn’t bragging; he knew those who could rank.
However, the man and woman in front of him matched no one in his mind.
He was puzzled but naturally did not show it, only explaining the situation in more detail.
"... The Jackal Wolfman Tribe is not strong; in the entire tribe, only the chief and two elders are Transcendent Tier; it’s said their Transcendent Tier High Priest recently died."
"We did a slight probe and showed our force, and the Jackal Wolfman Tribe immediately submitted, probably because their situation was already difficult."
Yang Yue and Li Erniu quickly found the Jackal Wolfman Tribe under the guidance of the Far Voyage Adventure Group.
A small tribe of only a few thousand people and a few hundred warriors.
Surrounded by Mutant Beasts and Demon Plants, their heritage was severed. Despite having a history of tens of thousands of years, they could never develop. Even during their most glorious time, they only had a dozen or so Transcendent Tiers, then got wiped out by a passing Second Tier Mutant Beast, leaving only a few tribesmen to escape.
Yang Yue and Li Erniu slightly released a wisp of aura, which made the chief and other Jackal Wolfmen more reverent.
Know all they know, say all they can say.
From the Jackal Wolfman Chief’s report, the deeper into the interior, the more terrifying Demon Plants there are, forming numerous dreadful Forbidden Lands, where even Second Tier Mutant Beasts can’t survive.
But the Jackal Wolfman Tribe had limited activity range, knew few Forbidden Lands, had little exchange with other intelligent races, only knowing of several tribes like the Fur Ape Man, the Unicorn, the Earth Cave Clan, etc.
And a clue: it’s said to the west, an unknown number of days away, there’s a tribe that is a veritable local tyrant, possessing the secret technique to control Demon Plants.
After obtaining detailed intelligence, the group left the Jackal Wolfman Tribe.
Yang Yue flew slowly in low altitude, resting her chin in thought. After a while, she turned to look at He Yuanhang, "Commander He, do you have any thoughts?"
He Yuanhang scratched his head, not being a strategist-type adventurer himself, the others in the team were even less reliable.
"We’ll follow your lead, and our adventure group will fully cooperate."
"On the New Continent, one must be especially wary of Demon Plants. Many Demon Plants are massive, with abundant Source Power, making them hard to deal with if their weaknesses can’t be found. The powerful tribe mentioned by the Jackal Wolfmen likely became area dominators because they mastered the secret technique of controlling Demon Plants..."
Yang Yue clenched her right fist, hitting it into her left palm, "In that case, we’ll find that dominant tribe, subdue them, make them submit, and the other tribes will naturally follow suit! Perfect plan!"
He Yuanhang: "..."
At first glance, it made sense, but, is this really a plan?
Do you know the location of that tribe? Their combat power?
This sounds reckless!
"After all, the Sect Master always said, when in doubt, just bull through."
Back when the Seven Lustrous Federation attacked, the Sect Master directly smashed them.
Facing countless top forces’ sieges, the Sect Master still directly smashed them all.
Yang Yue felt she understood something.
He Yuanhang felt he had discovered a blindspot, "Sect Master?"
"It’s the City Lord, how to put it... anyway, once I asked the Sect Master about a Cultivation Skill issue, and he said that."
Yang Yue promptly remembered her confidentiality agreement.
It’s not a big deal, no big deal.
She shut her mouth, pondering if she had missed something.
He Yuanhang was stunned.
Really.
To be qualified to ask about Cultivation Skills, could this person in front of him be the City Lord’s apprentice? The Green Shadow City Lord, who single-handedly turned the tide and repelled the Devil Race, has actually taken an apprentice?
No wonder he had no impression of these two. If they were the City Lord’s apprentices, they were likely newcomers training for at most two and a half years, mostly in retreat, hence not being well-known!
He no longer questioned Yang Yue’s plan.
Could actions taken by the City Lord’s apprentice be considered reckless? It was clearly bold but careful; she must have already prepared!
...
Meanwhile,
In the depths of the Demon Plant Continent, somewhere, giant trees hundreds of meters tall stood, many with treehouses built on them, agile figures leaping between branches.
In the center of an endless surrounding of giant trees was a clear lake, with an island within it, hosting an ancient tree that had existed for countless years.
Vigorous, antique.
Yet in the long river of time, it too was approaching the end.
Suddenly,
The ancient tree’s branches gently swayed, emitting a barely detectable sound, as if awakening anew.
