Chapter 1216 - Savages

Chapter 1216: Savages
There was actually a human settlement in the mystic realm!
This was both a good and bad thing for the group. The good thing was that they could try to search for the Buddha Thearch and company with the help of these humans; the bad thing was if the humans here were xenophobic and if a war was triggered, everyone could die here.
The Buddha Emperor asked a few Demigods to spread out and be on guard as the rest of them gathered to discuss the situation. The final decision was that Jiang Yi, Mei Ru, and Jiang Xiaonu would go and investigate to find out more about information. Jiang Yi had his Mirage Divine Ability while Jiang Xiaonu’s speed was very fast. Mei Ru’s demonic arts were also very powerful as they could even control the Buddha Emperor. If they could gain control over a few people in the mystical realm, it would become a lot easier to gather information.
Jiang Yi did not place everyone in the Mystic Divine Palace this time; everyone waited on the cliff for further instructions. Jiang Yi also did not dare to climb down the cliff like this; that would be too obvious. Jiang Yi brought Jiang Xiaonu and Mei Ru to find a small path nearby that spiraled down to the flatlands. He then placed the duo inside the Mystic Divine Palace as he entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man and furtively moved closer to that tribe in the distance.
The tribe was huge; there were tall wooden walls that zigzagged for a few dozen kilometers. As the tribe was very far away, Jiang Yi could only make out the outlines of the tribe from the cliff; he did not know if it was inhabited at all. He could only make his way carefully forward as he used the State of the Union of Heaven and Man to scan the surroundings.
Twenty kilometers, fifteen kilometers… ten kilometers!
Jiang Yi stopped and hid behind a slope as he sneakily looked towards the tribe. This time, he could see clearly; and on top of the encampment, he could vaguely make out a few human shadows!

It is indeed humans!

Jiang Yi became more energetic. He looked around him but was slightly irritated as the way down was all flatlands; there was little cover. If he neared the camp this way, he would easily be spotted by the people on top of the wooden walls.
While the situation was unknown—for humans to be able to build a camp here in such a strange place, their strength must be considerable.

Jiang Yi could only detour again as he furtively hid among the tall grass and tried to circle the camp to find his opening. However, he lay in wait for two hours and had made a round around the camp to no avail. There was no way to secretly enter the camp. There were only two big doors to enter this tribe, and at least a few hundred people were standing on the wooden walls.

Wait!

Jiang Yi had sufficient patience; he hid among the meadows and waited quietly. In front of him was one of the big doors; he refused to believe that no one was ever going to come out.
Half a day, one day… two days!
The door to the camp finally opened. A troop of humans riding strange beasts galloped out. Jiang Yi stole a glance and was immediately frightened. That group of humans was riding huge white tigers. Furthermore, these white tigers’ speed was comparable to that huge green snake’s within the gorge.
That meant that these huge white tigers’ attack abilities were also on par with that huge green snake.
Jiang Yi was very clear of that snake’s speed and defensive abilities; even his Divinity Slayer could only harm that snake such. Hence, it was almost impossible for him to kill this group of white tigers. Furthermore, these white tigers were being ridden by humans; these humans’ battle strength could be imaginable.

Go!

Since a group of people had come out, there was bound to be a way to get hold of one or two to ask them for some information. If he didn’t try, how could he know if he could kidnap them or not? Jiang Yi followed that group of humans silently. However, the gravity was too strong here; and his speed could not catch up with theirs. He could only watch as that group of humans disappeared into a patch of forest in the east.

Xiaonu, Mei Ru, come out!’
It was a distance from here to the camp. Jiang Yi took out his Mystic Divine Palace and teleported the two ladies out. He asked Xiaonu to transform and run forward while carrying him around; Mei Ru’s speed was still fast enough and could catch up.
After reaching that patch of forest, Jiang Yi softly told the two,
Be careful. A group of them entered this patch of forest. If we encounter them, a battle could ensue at any time. You guys have to listen to my commands.

The two nodded as Jiang Yi let Jiang Xiaonu carry him forward. He entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man as he scanned the surroundings in detail. After heading fifty kilometers into the forest, Jiang Yi suddenly opened his eyes and said,
Go from the right; there are signs of battle there. Proceed with caution; try not to make any noise.

Jiang Xiaonu and Mei Ru immediately grew more serious and cautious as they continued moving, putting their steps to the lightest. It was just like three leopards moving stealthily. After ten minutes, the three arrived at their destination.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A huge battle was taking place ahead of them. A dozen-odd ‘savages’ were fighting an intense battle with a group of small beasts. This group of humans could be called savages as, besides their crotch area, they did not wear any clothes at all. Even the crotch area was covered by some animal skins; their buttocks were visible.
Jiang Xiaonu took a look, and she shyly lowered her head. Mei Ru, on the other hand, was a demon and did not mind this at all. She stared at those savages as she sighed with emotion and said,
Lord, these humans are so strong.


Shush!

Jiang Yi gestured for Mei Ru to be quiet as he hid behind a small rock formation and watched the battle intently. One who knew his own strength and that of his enemy’s was invincible in battle; if he did not try to figure out the enemy’s strength, he might die not even knowing how he was killed.
This group of savages was indeed very strong. There were seventeen or eighteen of them. They were all holding wooden rods. They moved like the wind with their speeds comparable to those small green snakes. The white tigers they rode did not join in the attack; they were just watching the savages battle. Facing the savages was a group of black panthers; Jiang Yi and company had fought such black panthers before. They were very strong, and only when Jiang Yi had used his Divinity Slayer could he have caused any damage to them.
However—
At this time, the group of savages was just using their wooden rods to pierce and kill the panthers. They managed to do so easily; their muscles were huge to the point of being scary. Each muscle was like a garlic clove that was being strung together tightly; they were full of vitality.
Jiang Yi was shocked by their attacking speed. Of course, Jiang Yi and company faced limitations in this spatial zone. If it was outside, their attack speed would be a few dozen times faster.
Roar! Roar!
A black panther was pierced in the belly by a tall and imposing savage and lifted in the sky. From the flanks, two other savages pierced their wooden rods into this panther and killed it.

This wooden rod is a little strange.

Jiang Yi saw that a light flashed the moment the wooden rods struck the black panther and felt a little surprised. Jiang Yi and company had a hard time breaking through the black panther’s defenses; how is it this wooden rod could do so easily? Could these rods be divine artifacts?
Swish! Swish!
From the other side, yet another black panther was on its last breath. It was lifted into the air by a few savages. This time, one of the savages suddenly sprang forth and grabbed the panther’s belly with both his hands and ripped it apart. Fresh blood and intestines fell on that savage’s head. However, that savage actually started to eat the intestine raw; he even smiled while he did so.

Urghh…

Jiang Xiaonu saw this scene and couldn’t take it. She started to dry vomit on the ground. Jiang Yi’s expression also changed. He realized that two savages had looked towards this direction. He immediately sent a voice transmission: 
We have been discovered, retreat!


Jiang Yi grabbed hold of Jiang Xiaonu and started to speed away. Mei Ru also quickly retreated. The two savages roared out as they gave chase as fast as arrows. The other savages did not seem to mind as they thought that the duo was chasing after other beasts; they continued to kill the black panthers.

We cannot escape!

The savages’ speed was a few times faster than Jiang Yi’s; they were even faster than Jiang Xiaonu. Furthermore, Jiang Xiaonu was still dry vomiting and could not fly away. Jiang Yi felt the footsteps behind him getting closer and closer. He immediately took out the Mystic Divine Palace and sent Mei Ru and Jiang Xiaonu inside. At the same time, his body flashed white as his Mystic Divine Armor appeared. He hid his Mystic Divine Armor inside his clothing as he tore his clothing and changed his hair color to black. His body shape and appearance were also quickly changed as he became a smaller version of a savage.
Swish! Swish!
The two savages hurriedly caught up. After seeing Jiang Yi, the duo’s eyes were filled with suspicion and shock. One of them said something in gibberish. Jiang Yi then realized that the language here was vastly different from the outside world; however, he could catch the gist of it. That savage was asking him which clan he belonged to.
What should I do?

Jiang Yi’s brain worked furiously. He was actually not afraid of these two; the problem was if he fought with them, he would alert the remaining dozen-odd savages. These savages moved so quickly; he could not escape. Once he was encircled and when the battle started, only the heavens would know what the end result would be.
