The descending Sun Tribe quickly brought back Vapsin and a cunning, unscrupulous sage.
Although the Dragon Gate Mountain Forbidden Area was far from where the tribe lived, nothing significant had occurred there. However, the emergence of monsters that devoured people in the forbidden zone was indeed earth-shattering news.
The leader was still young, and Old Vap had largely stepped back from the tribe's affairs. All matters were entrusted to the sage, and in Xiao Qiang's eyes, this sage Brother did not look impressive at all.
With slanted eyes, a flat nose, a sharp chin, and a mole on his right cheek with three hairs that were two inches long each, the hairs quivered as he spoke. He had an air of pretentiousness about him, squinting his eyes and stroking his beard with his thick fingers. Suddenly retracting his hand, he took two steps back and said to the young leader of the Sun Tribe, "My king, it’s bad news; disaster is about to befall the Sun Tribe."
Upon hearing this from the sage, the young Vapsin felt as if a cold wind had chilled his heart, causing an inexplicable pang of anxiety. He asked nervously, "What major event is about to happen?"
The sage rolled his eyelids, revealing only the whites of his eyes in a frightful manner as he addressed the warriors and leader of the Sun Tribe: "That woman with evil energy has become a man-eating monster."
Vapsin inherited his father's title as king and had also learned multiple languages. His astonished expression conveyed disbelief as he translated the sage's words for Xiao Qiang.
Hearing such nonsensical claims about Lin Yu from this ridiculous sage infuriated Xiao Qiang. He stepped forward and shouted angrily, "You’re talking nonsense without any evidence!"
His shout startled the babbling sage into silence.
The Sun Tribe Leader hadn’t yet translated for the sage when he saw Xiao Qiang’s furious demeanor. Terrified, he quickly hid behind Vapsin and continued to ramble, "She is the embodiment of a monster; otherwise, how could she vanish without a trace? There are no historical records of man-eating incidents in the forbidden area."
Xiao Qiang didn’t need Vapsin to struggle with translation; just from the sage’s malicious gaze, he could tell that he was trying to twist facts and slander Lin Yu.
His clenched fists made cracking sounds as anger swelled within him, his cheeks puffing up in fury as he retorted, "You..."
"Saint, please calm down and let the sage explain clearly," said the young Sun Tribe Leader, who was also half-convinced. He restrained the agitated Xiao Qiang and added, "The sage’s words do hold some merit."
It was evident that the sage was afraid of Xiao Qiang. When the old sage passed away, there were already rumors about a mysterious figure who could communicate with the Toothy Divine Beast known as Saint.
In ancient times, the situation before Xiao Qiang seemed somewhat unreasonable. Why had he not aged? Although Wapu was still around, he was already an old man, buried halfway in the yellow earth.
The Sun Tribe Sage, whom they had once allied to fight against, had grown old over the years. Yet this Saint before them remained youthful and vibrant, with red lips and white teeth, his body strong like a Mammoth. This was undoubtedly a point of suspicion; could it be that some evil entity lurked within him, or perhaps he was originally a monster?
Of course, the wise ones could not casually disclose such speculations without concrete evidence. The Sun Tribe and the Waji Mountain People had maintained a friendly relationship for generations; they could not allow this mysterious Saint to stir up chaos and reignite the flames of war.
The leader of the Waji Mountain People was Amayi, who had spent considerable time with Xiao Qiang. Influenced by his positive energy and the fixed patterns of future world civilization, the Waji Mountain Tribe had transformed significantly, now surpassing the Sun Tribe and other scattered clans.
Vapsin was concerned about this very issue; he did not want to provoke war nor become an enemy of the increasingly prosperous Waji Mountain People.
As the new leader, Vapsin was not as fortunate as Amayi. As the saying goes, "Those who are close to ink will turn black." He had spent little time with his father throughout his life, mostly staying with this wise man.
This wise man could be his teacher or his malevolent friend. Due to his cowardice and timidity, Vapsin found himself at the mercy of the cold and ambitious sage.
However, they could not offend Xiao Qiang but needed to clarify the situation in the forbidden land. Otherwise, the Sun Tribe would struggle in misfortune...
The sage said to Vapsin, "The Saint has a purpose in going to the Devil's Land; he seeks to absorb the evil energy from Stratum's devilish realm to enhance his own power." After saying this, he leaned in and whispered something cryptic.
Under Xiao Qiang's gaze, Vapsin nervously told a lie. "Saint, the sage says that the Sun Tribe is about to face misfortune; do you have a way to help us dispel it?"
Xiao Qiang looked suspiciously at the sage, who bowed his head in silence with a furtive expression before withdrawing his gaze. "How can I assist you?"
Vapsin translated his words directly for the sage. Upon hearing this, the sage's triangular eyes lit up as he leaned closer to Vapsin's ear and began gesturing animatedly.
Xiao Qiang watched Vapsin.
Vapsin hesitated and glanced at him before finally stammering, "Behind Taiyin Mountain, there is a fierce giant beast. If we kill it and obtain its horn from atop its head, our Sun Tribe can escape disaster."
"Beast? Can you describe its form to me?" Xiao Qiang thought about Lin Yu's safety, but he had to help the Sun Tribe resolve this very tricky matter first. If he selfishly left Ancient Times and something really happened to the Sun Tribe, it would likely lead to an unnecessary war due to his selfishness.
Xiao Qiang was also a member of the Xuanyuan Tribe, part of the Waji Mountain People, and was regarded as a Saint among these diverse ethnic groups. However, for Lin Yu, although he was her husband and the father of their future child, his contributions were minimal.
Lin Yu was a mutant, and only a few people knew about it. General Jin Ming, Wen Kai, Li Hang, Wu Yi, Matt, and Professor R were aware. In the hands of humanity in the future world, she should not be in great danger; however, her pregnancy was indeed a major concern for Xiao Qiang.
"Taiyin Mountain?" Xiao Qiang forced a smile and said, "Alright, I'll do as you say. But first, we need to clarify the situation here. Since you believe that my wife is in the cave, please prepare more torches for a thorough search."
Vapsin conveyed his words to the sage, who unexpectedly turned pale and shook his head vigorously. "No, no! If someone with too much malice enters here, it will surely disturb the quietly sleeping souls and bring greater misfortune to the Sun Tribe."
The sage's words were strange! It was clear he was deliberately protecting the creatures inside the cave. Xiao Qiang fell silent as he observed this person closely. He felt that this person's words were contradictory and carried an unsettling ulterior motive.
As guests must abide by their host's wishes, Xiao Qiang could not force the Sun Tribe to search their ancestors' forbidden grounds. He had no choice but to return to where the Sun Tribe gathered under what seemed like escort. Then he was blindfolded with a black cloth; it was said that one must not look with their eyes when going to Taiyin Mountain but must sense it with their heart.
Before leaving, Xiao Qiang used a dagger to cut his fingertip and wrote a few words with his blood. He found a loyal warrior from the Sun Tribe who had a close relationship with Amayi and instructed him to deliver it overnight to the Waji Mountain Tribe.
When Amayi received Xiao Qiang's blood letter, it did not contain a plea for help but rather urged him to rally all the tribespeople to quickly relocate to higher ground. This was because a flash flood would occur in the near future, which would drown many people.
