Protect Our Clan Leader

"Coordinate the arrangements? Ha, ha~ What if we accidentally startle a Great Yao during our scouting? The timing for scouting is just perfect right now, and if the scouting fails, we can immediately take action without being too passive.

Luo Qiu, you're still too impulsive." Wang Shouzhe said with a stern face as he lectured her, then turned his head to Wang Zongchang and said, "Zong Chang, this is the cloaking cape I purchased a while ago. Although it's far from being a Divine Spiritual Treasure, as long as one is careful, it can deceive someone at the Purple Abode Realm from a close distance."

"Fourth Uncle, I understand." Wang Zongchang took the cloaking cape and nodded gravely, "I'll definitely complete the scouting mission and protect my own life."

If he, the Humble Winds Scout, couldn't protect his own life even with a heap of lifesaving items from his fourth uncle, then he would have lived in vain.

"Thank you for your care, Fourth Uncle, for buying such a good Spiritual Treasure." Wang Zongchang fondled the cloaking cape with admiration and a warm smile appeared on his face.

"Hmm, no one besides you could use this item anyway. Even if you exchanged it from the family treasure house, you can just slowly repay the Contribution Points to the family." Wang Shouzhe patted his shoulder with a serious tone, "With your abilities, Zong Chang, it won't take you a hundred years to repay it in full."

Wang Zongchang stiffened on the spot as if struck by lightning.

This routine, why does it feel so familiar? Being forcefully saddled with exclusive treasures, having Contribution Points advanced to him time and time again...

Is it his fault that the family only has him as an Advanced Scout?

No, he must find a way to produce another descendant with the Humble Winds Bloodline. Otherwise, wouldn't he be trapped in this fate forever?

But let's not digress for now.

A thousand li or more away from where the Wang family and others were encamped, there was a vast region.

This area was very well located, with rolling mountains to the back and a shallow azure lake in front. The scenery was beautiful, the Spiritual Energy rich, and there were thin clouds wrapping around the waist of the mountains, making it seem like a Heavenly Abode.

And there, on the side of those mountains where the Spirit Veins converged and the Spiritual Energy was most concentrated, there was a huge cave.

The cave looked as if it had been violently gouged out by a giant beast, with uneven surfaces, some spots still bearing claw marks, looking coarse and unrefined.

Inside the cave.

Natural fluorescent gems were scattered around, emitting glows of various colors. The interwoven lights gave the cave a blurred and intimate feel, much like those half-hidden, low-key establishments on Earth, located in secluded corners of the streets.

In the wilderness beyond, many Great Yaos, despite not being unintelligent, had yet to take human form, so the places they resided in, the dens—not the palaces—were rather rudimentary.

However, the concentration of Spiritual Energy was not bad, and living and cultivating here could significantly accelerate one's growth.

The Golden Tiger King!

It was a Level Seven Golden Winged Sun-Eating Tiger King with a noble bloodline, having thrived in this land for over fifteen hundred years.

In its lengthy life, it had already found mates of the same species multiple times, and had engaged in some activities not suitable to elaborate upon. Afterward, it would simply take off without looking back, unconcerned about whether any offspring were born.

But the Golden Tiger King didn't care about such things; whether it had offspring was of no consequence. After all, tiger Fierce Beasts were accustomed to solitary feeding; when two tigers met, there was a more than ninety percent chance they would fight.

Even a female tiger with cubs would drive them away after they reached a certain level of strength. A happy, harmonious family life together was utterly nonexistent.

Reproducing offspring was merely an instinctual drive.

Today, the Golden Tiger King was in high spirits because this was the fifth time in its long regal life that it was taking a wife.

It had learnt the ritual of taking a wife from some Human race captives; finding it amusing, the tiger decided to imitate it.

The first four wives were, not long after the marriage, eaten by the Golden Tiger King for inadvertently enraging it.

The Golden Tiger King, once heartbroken and dejected, had given up on the idea of marrying again until it met its current wife.

In that instant, it found the courage to seek love again.

It was a rare Moon Rabbit, with fur as pure as the moon and eyes that shimmered like rubies.

Tied to a post, the Moon Rabbit looked so pitiable, so docile and gentle.

In that moment, the Golden Tiger King's heart melted.

As a Golden Winged Sun-Eating Tiger King, how could it harbor any malice?

However, the "King" status of the Golden Tiger King was self-proclaimed within a small range. In the Human World, Level Seven Fierce Beasts were not considered kings; they were commonly referred to as Great Yaos when describing Level Seven or Eight Fierce Beasts in the wild.

Within the beast communities, it was not unusual for even Level Five creatures to call themselves "king", even though Level Five beasts could not speak; this did not stop them from gathering a group of lower-level Fierce Beasts for their use.

In the "palace" of the Golden Tiger King, aside from itself and the Moon Rabbit, there were also five Fierce Beasts of Level Five and Level Six.

They were a Level Six Giant Horned Jade Rhino, a Level Five Black Serpent with red stripes, a Level Five Diamond Ape, a Level Five Blazing Fire Phoenix, and a Dark Moon Shadow Leopard.

These five Fierce Beasts were all centered around the Golden Tiger King's territory, each one ruling their domain.

Typically, the territory of a Level Five Fierce Beast would span hundreds of li, rarely crossing over into another's domain. Yet similarly, they would always align with some stronger Level Seven Great Yaos.

Near the domains of these Level Five Fierce Beasts, there would be territories of Level Three and Four Fierce Beasts. Following this hierarchy, there would be even weaker Level One and Two Fierce Beasts below.
