Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"Should we go check it out, or hide here and observe first?"

Yu Changsheng slowly bent down, and Chen Xueqing, seeing this, also squatted down, trying her best to hide her figure.

Neither of them made a sound, and the flames were getting closer and closer to them.

Before long, Yu Changsheng was able to hear the sounds made by the wild beasts and some strange human voices.

They really are people! And judging from their language, it doesn't sound like a language Yu Changsheng understands at all. This makes it even more likely that they are local natives.

Yu Changsheng did not immediately approach those people, but instead lowered his profile and hid in the grass, which was more than half a meter tall.

Under the cover of darkness and hidden in the grass, it was extremely difficult to spot with the naked eye.

Before long, the groups were very close to Yu Changsheng and his companion.

Yu Changsheng was able to see the faces of these people clearly through his divine sense.

There were about twenty trees in this group.

Everyone was wearing clothes made of animal skins.

The weapons they carried were mostly made of stone, with only a small portion being bronze or iron.

These people didn't look much different from ordinary people in the North Sea, except that their skin was darker and they were taller.

As I passed by, I could hear them chattering in some language that I couldn't understand.

Yu Changsheng and Chen Xueqing exchanged a glance but did not immediately appear.

They were also afraid that showing up directly would easily cause conflict with the people here.

Moreover, since they can't understand each other's languages, conflicts are more likely to arise.

Once those people had moved a little further away, Yu Changsheng and his companion got up.

Chen Xueqing said, "I didn't expect there to be natives in this secret realm. This is something that was not recorded in the secret realm manual at all."

Yu Changsheng said, "Should we follow them for a while? Although it might take a day, I think it would be worth it if we could successfully make contact with them."

Chen Xueqing gritted her teeth and finally nodded in agreement.

Time was extremely precious to her, but if she continued to search aimlessly as she had during the day, it would be far too inefficient.

It's not bad to try your luck with these people.

The two decided to follow behind the group and observe their behavior.

Until dawn, the indigenous group had traveled a long way along the river.

They didn't stop or rest along the way, they just kept moving in one direction.

As the sun gradually rose, the group stopped, started a fire to cook, washed themselves by the river, and some went out hunting, soon bringing back some game to make soup.

The group of people gathered together again, speaking in a language that was incomprehensible.

During the day, the view became wider, so Yu Changsheng and his companion could only ride the Golden-Winged Roc high in the sky and follow, not daring to get close.

The group only stayed for about half an hour, and after eating and drinking their fill, they immediately resumed their journey.

Yu Changsheng asked in confusion, "They seem to be rushing in a certain direction? Otherwise, they wouldn't be traveling all night without sleeping."

"I have a feeling we'll find something this time. Should we continue following them?"

Yu Changsheng looked at Chen Xueqing beside him. The decision was still in her hands. After all, following this team might take a long time, and there might not even be any reward.

Chen Xueqing was also very hesitant, but she gritted her teeth and insisted on staying for another day to see how things went.

Upon seeing this, Yu Changsheng immediately manipulated the Golden-Winged Roc to fly around the group.

The group was not moving very fast, and in order not to arouse suspicion, Yu Changsheng could only keep manipulating the Golden-Winged Roc to circle around them.

The presence of a dark shadow circling in the sky caught the attention of the leader below, who glanced up at the sky from time to time.

However, the team leader didn't pay much attention and continued to move forward on his own.

Yu Changsheng had a better view from the air and noticed a group of rather large wild beasts in the distance ahead. They resembled wolves, but their black fur concealed them well in the grass.

Moreover, the wolf pack was getting closer and closer to this group, clearly indicating that they had been targeted.

This also allowed Yu Changsheng to see the fighting style of these natives.

Knowing their combat capabilities will make it easier to lend a helping hand in critical moments.

As the group moved forward, the wolf pack gradually dispersed, surrounding the group in the center.

The wolf pack continued to circle around, observing the group's situation.

The team, however, has not yet made any response due to a lack of vision.

The alpha wolf howled to the sky, signaling a signal.

The entire wolf pack began to approach rapidly, until the two sides were almost touching.

The leader of the group then unleashed his cultivation level, and the twenty-odd people began to draw their weapons and fight.

Yu Changsheng noticed that these people seemed to have a strange talisman on their bodies during the battle.

These talismans are placed on the arms, back, or forehead.

Through these talismans, these indigenous people were able to mobilize magical power, strengthen their physical bodies, and even use some strange attack methods.

This method also piqued Yu Changsheng's curiosity.

"I never imagined these natives could manipulate magic. Those peculiar talismans are quite interesting."

Chen Xueqing nodded in agreement:

"The humans who can survive in this sacred and secret realm are certainly not ordinary people; they must have their own methods."

"This method has never been seen in the North Sea before; it must be a unique method found only in this area."

Yu Changsheng also laughed and said, "Hehe, if we could learn this technique and make good use of it, it should be quite good."

Chen Xueqing immediately knew that Yu Changsheng was definitely up to something bad.

"It looks like those guys are surrounded and outmatched. Should we go help them now?"

"What's the rush? Let's take a look first."

Yu Changsheng squatted on the back of the Golden-Winged Roc and looked down.

Battles had already broken out below, and the local tribes were much stronger than Yu Changsheng had anticipated.

They fought the pack of wolves to a standstill.

In particular, the talismans, once they exerted their power, greatly strengthened the physical bodies of these natives.

Even when the pack of wolves bit him, they could barely break through his defenses.

The leader was even more powerful, with more densely packed runes on his body.

Its explosive power is also stronger, and it can easily take on two or three wolves at the same time.

However, this team was far smaller than the pack of wolves, by at least a dozen numbers.

Moreover, the wolves' stamina far surpasses that of the natives.

Before long, Yu Changsheng noticed that the talismans on several of the natives were starting to dim.

Their strength had also diminished considerably, and they retreated into the crowd.

These natives were experienced in combat, but the wolf pack's attack did not stop.

After losing several wolves, the natives also began to suffer injuries.

The smell of blood made the wolves even more ferocious, tearing and biting relentlessly.

Moreover, these wolves were extremely agile, and the natives were quickly overwhelmed and began to find themselves in danger.

Before long, casualties began.

Seeing that things were going badly, the leader shouted and led his men toward the riverbank, seemingly trying to escape through the river.

However, the wolves seemed to have anticipated this, and their attack on the river was even more swift, causing the natives considerable suffering.

Yu Changsheng, seeing that it was almost time, said:

"Holy Maiden, I think we can make our move now."

Chen Xueqing nodded, and the two of them leaped into the air and entered the pack of wolves.

Yu Changsheng did not release his other tamed beasts, only sending out the Golden-Winged Roc.

Once the aura of a peak fourth-tier cultivator was released, the wolves were immediately intimidated by it.

Yu Changsheng estimated that these wolves were at most at the second level, no match for them.

In a short time, Yu Changsheng and his companion killed more than a dozen of them.

Seeing the difference in strength, the wolves seemed to know they were no match, and with a mournful and unwilling howl from their alpha wolf...

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

The entire pack of wolves began to retreat rapidly and then disappeared into the grass.

Yu Changsheng had no intention of giving chase, as he wasn't particularly interested in these second-tier spirit beasts.

After the pack of wolves dispersed.

The locals remained wary of Yu Changsheng and his companion.

The two men's clothing and demeanor were vastly different from theirs, and their previous display of strength made them far more powerful, filling them with fear and awe.

After a period of stalemate, the indigenous people seemed to realize that the two had no ill intentions.

The leader also stepped forward, intending to speak with Yu Changsheng and the other person.

Yu Changsheng also raised his hands and smiled to show his friendliness.

Seeing this, the leader felt relieved and stepped forward. After rummaging in his pocket for a while, he took out a gemstone and gave it to Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng took the gemstone and examined it.

The gemstone radiated an orange glow, resembled a goose egg, and even felt slightly warm to the touch.

Yu Changsheng slightly exerted his magic power and channeled it into the gem, causing it to flash with even stronger light.

Upon seeing this, the leader was also somewhat shocked and immediately knelt down.

They kept kneeling and bowing to Yu Changsheng, seemingly showing even more respect after Yu Changsheng demonstrated his ability to use magic.

Yu Changsheng helped him up, and although they couldn't communicate, he still tried to communicate.

He pointed to the gem in his hand, wanting to ask about its origin.

Although the leader couldn't fully understand Yu Changsheng's meaning, he still pointed in a direction.

That's the direction deep within the sacred, secret realm; could that be the origin of this stone?

Yu Changsheng couldn't be completely sure of his guess either, so he could only continue to try to communicate.

He then pointed to the leader's skin, where the runes should have appeared, but now it had returned to normal.

However, if you look closely, you can still see faint traces.

This is also the technology that Yu Changsheng most wants to obtain. If used properly, it may be of great use.

The leader, unsure if he understood Yu Changsheng's meaning, pondered for a moment while looking at the markings on his body, then pointed in another direction.

He then went on and on, babbling on and on, in a way that Yu Changsheng couldn't understand.

Yu Changsheng shook his head and casually said a few words to indicate that he did not understand his language.

And this time, the direction the leader was pointing in was indeed the direction they were heading.

Yu Changsheng pointed to himself, then pointed in that direction.

The leader seemed to understand, nodding repeatedly and pointing to his own troops.

Yu Changsheng looked in that direction and saw a huge four-legged beast dragging a simple wooden building, which seemed to be where these people lived.

Yu Changsheng nodded, seemingly indicating that the leader understood.

So Yu Changsheng went over to see what was going on inside the building.

The chieftain immediately accompanied him, while the other natives looked at Yu Changsheng with curiosity, a hint of wariness and fear in their eyes.

Upon arriving at the building's facade, the environment was also very simple and unpretentious.

There was only an unidentified animal hide lying on the wooden board, and some bundles tied up, the contents of which were unknown.

The leader invited Yu Changsheng to sit down and took out some dried meat from the animal skin bundles to share with him.

It seems that those animal skin packages contain food.

Yu Changsheng smiled and nodded as he accepted the meat. He tasted it and found it to be very salty and tough.

However, he doesn't have any problem eating it with his teeth.

Yu Changsheng also took out two jugs of wine from his storage bag and gave one jug to the leader.

Then he took a big gulp of the dried meat.

Upon seeing this, the chief also sniffed the wine jug, and the strong, pungent smell of alcohol made him frown.

However, seeing how much Yu Changsheng was enjoying his drink, the leader also took a big gulp.

But he was immediately choked by the alcohol and started coughing incessantly.

Upon seeing this, Yu Changsheng burst into laughter. This leader clearly didn't know how to drink, and it seemed that the people here didn't have the habit of drinking either.

It does take time to get used to this kind of thing; you can't like it in a short period of time.

After Yu Changsheng and the leader finished eating, they sat facing each other, unsure of what to say.

So he got up and walked out of the building again. Seeing that the other natives were still standing there waiting, Yu Changsheng pointed to the wolf spirit beast's corpse on the ground.

The leader understood his meaning and ordered his men to begin disposing of the wolf carcasses.

There were more than twenty wolf carcasses in total, and the locals handled them quite quickly and skillfully.

Chen Xueqing came over and asked, "How did the exchange go?"

Yu Changsheng shook his head and said, "Alas, the language barrier is a real problem; there's simply no way to understand what the other person means."

"But for now, at least we can be sure that they don't have any ill intentions towards us and are willing to accept us."

Yu Changsheng retrieved the gemstone and handed it to Chen Xueqing for examination.

"Although we don't know what this gem is, it reacts extremely strongly to magical power, so it must be a treasure."

"It would probably be a good medium for refining artifacts and making other things. I just don't know if it can be considered a material for Nascent Soul stage."

Chen Xueqing also examined the gemstone while simultaneously inputting her magic power into the experiment.

As before, the gemstone showed an extremely strong affinity for magic, making it a very good material.

Most importantly, this item has never been found in the North Sea before, meaning it is extremely rare.

Chen Xueqing nodded and said, "Although it can't be considered material for a Nascent Soul cultivator to break through."

"However, these rare materials can also increase your score, just not as much as the materials needed for Nascent Soul stage."

Yu Changsheng was naturally overjoyed, as this gave him the perfect opportunity to continue following the group. (End of Chapter)
