The Master of Beasts-Chapter 785 - 249

"What's going on?"

Akam forced a smile and explained, "My lord, my father was once a true powerhouse. With the help of the Nine Dragon Tribe, he founded the Akam Tribe."

"That's how I got my name, but unfortunately, my talent is too poor, and I'm unable to inherit my father's title."

"You mean, your tribe was established with the help of your father and the Nine Dragon Tribe?" Chen Jiuge frowned, knowing that if that were the case, trouble was surely ahead.

"That's right. Although the Nine Dragon Tribe is lofty, they are trustworthy. My father exchanged a treasure for this qualification. Even though my father has passed away and the Akam Tribe has weakened, under the Nine Dragon Tribe's prestige, whether it's the Three Lives Tribe or the Five Stars Tribe, none dare to swallow us outright. Even gatherings as strong as Ku Tou's know that no matter how powerful they are, they can't replace us!"

"Is that really so?" Chen Jiuge turned to Ku Tou and asked.

Ku Tou nodded heavily, "Indeed, that's the case. In the Sunset Mountain Range, no one dares defy the Nine Dragon Tribe's orders, unless they have a death wish!"

"So, these thousand warriors have no choice but to go?" Chen Jiuge didn't like this passive situation.

"They have to go; if they don't, the Akam Tribe will be exterminated. And even if they do, there's no guarantee how many of these thousand warriors will return." Akam's face showed a trace of sorrow.

"So what exactly are these thousand warriors going for?" Chen Jiuge inquired.

Akam was also a bit perplexed, "I'm not really sure. Previously, when my father was alive, he personally led them. After his death, I left such matters to the warriors of the tribe."

"It's been many years since the last time. The warriors who returned from the Nine Dragon Tribe have all died."

"You don't know anything at all?" Chen Jiuge was speechless. As a leader, he really did take things easy, ignoring everything; if this were the True Realm Immortal City, you would have been sidelined long ago.

"Hehe, my lord, I....."

"Wait, I remember now. Earlier, a warrior mentioned it. He said it seemed the Nine Dragon Tribe might lose; is it possible they're at war with those major tribes outside the Sunset Mountain Range?" Akam suddenly said.

"The Nine Dragon Tribe might lose?"

Carefully pondered upon this statement, Chen Jiuge didn't dismiss Akam's speculation, but the words were too vague, lacking other information, rendering them unreliable.

"Forget it, for now, let's just deal with this so-called Nine Dragon Tribe!"

"A thousand warriors; shall we evenly distribute them among the six of us? No problem?"

"No problem, it's a small issue!" The five nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, let's do that. By the way, the cultivation techniques practiced by these natives are quite rudimentary. If you have some time, teach them some slightly more advanced body refining techniques; it's not a waste of their potential!" Chen Jiuge reminded.

"I didn't think of that; thank you, City Lord!" Bai Li and Feng Cang expressed their gratitude.

The other three didn't react much; it was clear they already knew this information.

"Akam, let's go!"

"Yes, my lord!"

"In the True Realm, he already stood out, and I didn't expect that after being here for such a short time, even these natives at our level have been subdued by him!" Shuibing said with some emotion.

Jialouluo said coolly, "To compare him to us is still too much. Even though Divine Skills can't be used, these outliers among the natives are no match for us!"

"We should still focus on cultivating these natives. I feel this world is quite unusual, with a great terror more terrifying than Chaos!" Meng Ze looked up at the sky, an emotion stirring in his eyes.

"Great terror? Impossible, right?" Shuibing was a bit stunned.

The Nightmare, part of the Chaos Race, has naturally high spiritual sense, as all Chaos Creatures have, because those with low senses have long since become food.

"I also find it quite unusual; any random tribe isn't something we can deal with. Perhaps these natives are our most important asset!" Jialouluo agreed.

"Even Jialouluo, you....."

"It seems you encountered something extraordinary on this outing, I understand!" Shuibing quickly grasped the situation.

......

The biggest challenge in training these natives is their illiteracy!

Although cultivation techniques can be transmitted through the Divine Soul, after that, they only receive a basic introduction. To truly delve into cultivation, they still need to frequently read and ponder themselves.

"Xiao Hong, your task is to teach them literacy!"

"Huh?" Xiao Hong, who was handling some trivial matters, raised her elegant face, full of confusion.

"City Lord, do you hear yourself? Teaching them to read, are you treating me like a private tutor for beginners?"

"Ahem, isn't there no one available?" Chen Jiuge also felt it was a bit much.

"No one? City Lord, those few Spiritual Beasts of yours seem quite idle. Maybe let them do it; at least they can cause less trouble!" Xiao Hong suggested.

"Yue Meng and the others?"

"Yeah, those little ancestors of ours really know how to cause a ruckus!" Xiao Hong complained.

"Is that so? Then I'll go take a look first!"

......

Chen Jiuge required Yue Meng and others to follow the troops mainly to train them.

Although their contracts were not much different from those with the Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts, after so many years of connection, Chen Jiuge's attitude towards them was completely different; rather than seeing them as mere Guardian Beasts, they were more like a unique kind of family.
