Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 696 - 488: The Vanished Salong Tribe (2)

"High Priest, where is the Salong Tribe located, and what happened to them?"

"Reporting to the Divine Envoy."

The High Priest respectfully bowed to Lu Lin before speaking about the Salong Tribe.

The Han Nu Tribe is the most populous and warrior-rich tribe within the Mountain King’s territory, and they also have the most information. Within their tribe, there are a full three powerful hunting teams.

While the hunting teams bring back enough food for the tribe, they also bring news from afar.

In a place of unknown distance, there is a tribe a hundred times more powerful, even more so than theirs - this is the Salong Tribe.

It’s said that the Salong Tribe alone has five thousand powerful adult warriors, countless women and children, and more food than they can consume, allowing the children to play to their heart’s content...

In short, the Salong Tribe is like an imagined Utopia, a place all who know its name yearn for.

However, such a powerful tribe vanished overnight.

All the people in the tribe disappeared without a trace.

A large tribe that frequently traded with the Salong Tribe discovered this situation when their merchants arrived to exchange goods and cautiously explored the area.

They found the situation in the Salong Tribe incredibly eerie.

The tribe’s people were gone, but the food, utensils, houses, and even some weapons remained undamaged.

In every clan member’s room, various living utensils were neatly arranged.

Subsequently, when the trading merchants continued their exploration, they discovered an altar exuding a peaceful and harmonious aura at the very center of the Salong Tribe.

The ground around the altar was scattered with numerous chaotic footprints, suggesting that the people of Salong Tribe had gathered around this altar for some activity.

Yet, for unknown reasons, they suddenly disappeared.

When the news spread, many small tribes struggling to survive sneaked over to Salong to transport their food and other items.

During this time, a tribe that also believed in the Fox God, led by their Chief and High Priest, gathered to worship at the Salong Tribe’s altar.

Subsequently, they too disappeared entirely.

Such an event caused many small tribes that were collecting Salong Tribe’s resources to flee in panic.

The altar was described by them as a man-eating altar.

After the news spread, many tribe chiefs and sacrificers learned of the matter, developing a slight suspicion in their hearts about their gods.

Shouldn’t gods be selfless and benevolent? It’s one thing for them to ignore their followers, but now to make an entire tribe that worships them disappear is another.

Could the gods worshipped for countless years really be kind?

The news spread wider, altering in many tribes.

Some even said that the Salong Tribe was sacrificed to the gods, implying that the gods they worshipped were evil.

At this moment.

The Chief and High Priest of the Han Nu Tribe, upon hearing Lu Lin’s recruitment to the Thor’s residence at the Step Tribe, couldn’t help but think of this incident.

Upon hearing this, Lu Lin also developed a slight doubt in his heart.

Fox God? Could it be referring to those shapeshifting demon beasts from Qingqiu Mountain in Longyuan World?

Previously, on the Exotic Battlefield, he had encountered the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan once.

Indeed, when they descended, they chose to deceive the Great Elder of the Fox Clan to gather more clan members into the city for self-sacrifice in order to condense a more powerful body.

This familiar pattern and method inevitably reminded one of Qingqiu Mountain.

Lu Lin pondered this briefly before saying, "Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to harm you."

The Chief and High Priest of the Han Nu Tribe nodded. Since Lu Lin had said that, not agreeing would be disrespectful.

In any case, the moment Lu Lin appeared in the Han Nu Tribe with the Winged White Tiger, their fate was no longer in their own hands.

The tribe leader still wanted to gather their personal belongings but, in Lu Lin’s eyes, it was unnecessary.

The human tribes in Pine Mountain World were all struggling for food and clothing, with nothing of value to take.

Lu Lin instructed the Han Nu Chief to gather all the clan members together and then packed them using the Soul Sealing Space Crystal. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

It was a routine scene for Lu Lin, but nearly scared Liu San to death.

The means of the Divine Envoy were indeed unpredictable, but...

Recalling the story the Han Nu Chief told about the Salong Tribe, Liu San couldn’t help but shiver with fear as he looked at Lu Lin.

Could the Divine Envoy be like the Fox God of the Salong Tribe, intending to devour the Han Nu people?

If devouring the Han Nu Tribe wasn’t enough, might he turn to consume the Step Tribe, including Liu San himself?

Thinking this, Liu San couldn’t help but shudder.

Lu Lin had already mounted the Winged White Tiger, and seeing Liu San’s reaction, he realized Liu San’s concerns and laughed heartily, slapping Liu San’s shoulder.

"Kid, what are you thinking? If I wanted to eat people, would it be so complicated?"

"Let’s hurry to the next tribe."

Woken by Lu Lin’s slap and words, Liu San relaxed.

Indeed, with the Divine Envoy’s immense power, he could easily eradicate thousands of demon beasts that even the hunting team couldn’t handle. Devouring a less than five hundred people Step Tribe would be exceedingly simple.

After all, the entire Step Tribe couldn’t even fight off one Star Dust stage demon beast together.

The wings of the Winged White Tiger flapped, taking Lu Lin and Liu San to the next tribe.

Around the Step Tribe were thirteen relatively close human tribes, totaling about four thousand people.

Initially, Lu Lin thought gathering over four thousand people in such a world was quite good, but remembering the Salong Tribe had five thousand warriors, their total population might very well exceed fifteen thousand.

Thus, Lu Lin decided to increase the recruitment numbers.

Around the Step Tribe, there were thirteen tribes, and the Han Nu Tribe could directly contact over forty tribes. Each tribe certainly knew of other tribes, and there were bound to be new ones as well.

On the first day, Lu Lin recruited fifteen tribes with almost six thousand people.

By the second and third days, he had recruited a total of thirty-five tribes, accumulating eighteen thousand people.

In total, fifty tribes, over twenty-four thousand people.

This should be stronger than the Salong Tribe.

Returning to the Step Tribe with people from fifty tribes, Lu Lin started building the houses.

He couldn’t do this secretly alone, of course.

Lu Lin released people from all fifty tribes, allowing them to witness his work.

With the wave of his hands, houses sprung up like little flowers and grasses, a miraculous spectacle truly shocking to over twenty thousand people.

Even the Step Tribe, who had seen it once, were again amazed by Lu Lin’s grand gesture.

With houses built, Lu Lin tasked the Step Tribe Chief and High Priest with allocation, only one rule: people from the same tribe must not be grouped together entirely but spread apart.

Obviously, separating families would be inconvenient.

With homes constructed, the next step was food.

Previously, the unusual demon beast rain had fallen, and nearly a week had passed. Even the meat of the demon beasts was changing subtly, but it was likely still fine for ordinary humans.

Having survived on the edge every day, eating slightly odd but still acceptable demon beast meat wouldn’t be an issue.

However, Lu Lin couldn’t think this way, as a Divine Envoy, serving such food to his followers would weigh on his conscience.

Thus,

The people who had just been amazed by Lu Lin’s hand-built houses witnessed another divine feat.

Demon Beast Rain.

Now, all fifty tribes, from chiefs to high priests and ordinary people, wholeheartedly revered Lu Lin.

Following such a powerful divine emissary, their future days were surely full of hope.
