Although Han Li could not understand Tuliu's words, he could see through his intentions at a glance.
He waved his sleeve, and thousands of dark yellow beans flew out. They then turned into thousands of Tao soldiers that rushed into the insect tide.
Jin Tong took the opportunity to escape from the insect tide. He turned into a golden torrent, and in a flash, he blocked in front of the Grey Toad Clan members. He waved his two front claws, and rays of crystal light swept out. In an instant, more than half of the Grey Toad Clan members were killed.
"Sir, please spare my life. Sir, please spare my life. Since you belong to the insect race, why are you killing us?
We, the Grey Toad Clan, are also insect messengers. We are all servants of Sir Spiritual Insects. We want to keep you alive to bring you back to our insect race. You will no longer be a pet controlled by the human race … "Seeing that he could not escape, Tuliu immediately knelt down and begged Jin Tong for mercy.
Hearing this, the Gold Devouring Beetles stopped attacking. The golden light around them disappeared, and they returned to Han Li's side. They turned back into little girls.
"What is this Sir Spiritual Insects that you speak of?" Jin Tong raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Do not belittle Sir Spiritual Insects …" Tuliu's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said.
"Don't talk nonsense. Answer my question," Jin Tong said impatiently.
"This … I don't know.
Our Grey Toad Clan is only a small clan among the insect race. Although I am the clan leader, I have never seen Sir Spiritual Insects. I have only heard of his reputation, "Tuliu said hesitantly.
Seeing this, Jin Tong immediately turned around and said to Han Li, "Uncle, can we search his soul directly?"
"No problem," Han Li nodded and said.
Then, he pointed his finger forward, and a crystal light entered the space between Tuliu's eyebrows.
"No …" Tuliu's face was filled with terror.
His face was filled with terror, and just as he opened his mouth, his head exploded with a bang.
"Quite a powerful restriction …" Han Li frowned and said.
Seeing the death of the clan leader, the remaining Grey Toad Clan members were shocked and angry. They once again attacked Han Li and the others.
After a few breaths, the open space on the hill became completely quiet. Only the miserable corpses were left on the ground.
After Han Li recalled all the Dao soldiers, he turned to look at the people of the Xiang Neck Clan who did not dare to leave on their own.
The green-skinned and long-necked Xeno-race beings were secretly sizing up Han Li's group as well. Their eyes were filled with terror and bewilderment, and it seemed to be extremely complicated.
"Thank … Thank you, Senior, for saving our Xiang Neck Clan."
The man from the Xiang Neck Clan, Tan Shi, hesitated for a second, but still took the initiative to come forward and salute to Han Li. He said in the common language of the Beihan Celestial Region.
"Since you can understand our language, you should know that I'm not doing this to save you," Han Li glanced at Tanshi and said slowly.
"No matter what, senior killed the Grey Toad Clan and saved the lives of our clansmen. Just this alone, we should repay you generously.
It's just that our tribe has been repeatedly attacked by the Insect Tribe now, and we really don't have the strength to do anything. Otherwise, I'd have to invite Senior to our tribe as a guest, "Tanshi said apologetically.
Han Li originally wanted to send these Xeno-race beings away, but after glancing at Jin Tong, he thought of something and asked, "Beast Clan, Insect Tribe, what's going on?"
Hearing that, Tanshi looked troubled and did not speak immediately.
After a pause, he continued, "The Insect Tribe and our Beast Clan have become enemies because of different beliefs. We have been fighting for a long time, and there have been many large-scale wars in history. There have been victories and losses on both sides, and our strength is still considered balanced."
"Beliefs?" Han Li glanced at the rest of the Xeno-neck Clan and asked in confusion.
"That's right.
Our Beast Clan is divided into different tribes, and each of us believes in different True Spirit Sacred Beasts. Although there are differences between us, in general, we all believe in True Spirits, while the Insect Tribe believes in different Insect Spirits, "Tanshi explained.
"I see.
Alright, there's nothing else, you can go, "Han Li waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, Senior." Tanshi hurriedly bowed and walked towards his clansmen.
"Let's go too," Han Li turned around and said to Jin Tong and the White Jade Pixiu.
The White Jade Pixiu flashed and turned back into a white jade pendant, hanging on Han Li's waist.
Jin Tong, however, was a little hesitant, and his expression was a little strange.
Han Li knew that it must be related to these Insect Tribe people, so he did not rush them.
However, at this moment, Tan Se returned and arrived in front of Han Li. He extended a respectful salute.
He bowed and said, "Senior, after careful consideration, I still feel that it's necessary to invite Senior to come with us to the Kong Ling Tribe to be a good host."
"If you're really sincere, then let the person in charge of your group come out and speak," Han Li said indifferently.
Hearing that, Tanshi's pupils shrank slightly, but he was extremely surprised.
At this moment, the group of Xeno-neck Clan people moved to the sides, opening up a path. Then, a person wearing a large gray cloak and a gray cloth wrapped around his face walked out.
"Young Master Ivan, you can't …" Tanshi saw this, and hurriedly stopped him.
That person, however, turned a deaf ear to him. He went straight to Han Li, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and bowed to him.
After that, he took off the gray cloth that covered his face, revealing an extremely delicate and beautiful face that was almost no different from a human's. The only slight difference was that his skin was light blue, his ears were slightly pointed, and there were two sharp teeth that looked like tiger's fangs at the side of his lips. He looked rather pretty and delicate.
"You're not from the Xeno-neck Clan?" Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with some surprise.
He noticed that Tanshi's actions seemed to be under someone's orders, and he thought that it was a senior of his clan hiding in the group. Now that he looked at it, it was actually not the case.
"I'm Noivan, the daughter of the Serene Chen Clan's leader. This time, I was ordered to come here to unite the various clans of the Beast Tribe to resist the invasion of the Insect Tribe. However, I didn't expect to encounter the joint attack of the Gray Toad Clan and a few other clans as soon as I arrived at the Xeno-neck Clan. That's why I fled here.
Fortunately, I was saved by Senior when I was in danger, "the blue-skinned woman said.
"Since you're the person in charge, then you're also the one who invited me to be a guest?" Han Li asked indifferently.
"That's right.
I'm sure you're here for the Desolate Hunt, senior?
Nowadays, the Insect Tribe is getting more and more arrogant. Not only did they attack the Beast Tribe, but they also ordered the Sand Beasts to attack the ferry a few days ago.
Senior, if you're not familiar with the terrain and environment here, it's very likely that you'll trespass into their territory.
Although your cultivation level is high, it's inevitable that you'll have to fight a tough battle, "Noivan said slowly.
"In that case, you're inviting me to your clan for my sake?" Han Li raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Other than repaying Senior for saving my life, I naturally have a little selfishness in mind. I hope that Senior can protect me on the way back to the Serene Chen Clan," Noivan said frankly.
"I wonder if your clan has a map of the Desolate Domain?" Han Li nodded lightly, and asked again.
"The Desolate Domain is vast, and many areas are occupied by all kinds of powerful creatures and powerful tribes. They're almost isolated from each other.
Therefore, even our Serene Chen Clan only has a map of the areas where the Beast Tribe is active.
As long as Senior is willing to escort us back to the clan, I'll try my best to find all the maps in the hands of the various Beast Tribe tribes for you, "Noivan said after pondering for a moment.
Han Li thought for a moment, and nodded.
"Deal."
"Thank you, Senior.
May I know how to address you, Senior? "A hint of joy flashed in Noivan's eyes as he asked.
"Li Feiyu," Han Li nodded and said.
Seeing that Tan Shi had brought Han Li and Jin Tong back to the group, the remaining Neck Tribe members' expressions became a little strange. There was a faint fear in the depths of their eyes, and they were obviously on guard.
After Tan Shi said a few words to everyone in the Desolate Domain, the Neck Tribe members retracted their gazes from Han Li, and began to collect the corpses of their tribe members and the beasts they controlled. They had a clear division of labor.
At the same time, some of the tribe members also began to quickly collect the remains of the Grey Toad Tribe members and the insects they controlled. Obviously, there were many things that were quite good materials for them.
Not long after that, one of the tribe members delivered a storage ring containing many materials to Han Li at Noi Fan's behest.
Although Han Li was not very interested in these things, he still accepted them without hesitation. After all, if he did not accept anything, it would make the Neck Tribe members feel uneasy, and they would think that he had ulterior motives.
However, as soon as he accepted it, he gave the items in the ring to the Pixiu and Jin Tong, and let the two of them share them.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, the whole group was ready and set off again, marching towards the south of the hills.
Tan Shi led the way in front, while Han Li and Noivan walked side by side in the middle of the group, surrounded by the Neck Tribe members. Jin Tong and Pixiu had already turned back into the beetle ring and the white jade pendant, and they were fastened to Han Li's hand and waist.
"Senior, after we pass this hilly area, we will soon enter the activity area of a Hundred-eyed Centipede.
This beast is extremely powerful and ferocious, and it hates anything flying over its head the most. Once it encounters something, it will open its hundred eyes and shoot out a bone-cutting divine light. Most of the Neck Tribe members can't withstand it.
So, we can only fly away on the beast after we leave that place, "Noivan took the initiative to explain to Han Li.
"It's alright. The Desolate Domain is dangerous, so we'll do it the safest way," Han Li said indifferently.
Now that they were deep in the Desolate Domain, the risks were unpredictable. If it was not necessary, he naturally had no interest in provoking the strange beasts here.
Noivan nodded and did not say anything else.
"Little White, in the next few days, teach me the language of the Desolate Domain when you have nothing to do." Han Li's expression did not change in the slightest, but his mind was communicating with the white jade Pixiu.
The white jade Pixiu was surprised and asked, "The cultivators of the Sacred Region have always regarded the common language of the Desolate Domain as the hissing of beasts, thinking that it is a lowly language that is not worthy of being spoken. Master, do you really want to learn it?"
"Language is just a tool for communication. How can there be a distinction between noble and lowly?
Just teach me, "Han Li replied.
