Chapter 294: The 6th Era: Divine Empowerment of Royal Authority, Representing Heaven to Oversee the People!_2
However, the Stone Turtle Tribe occupied an iron mine by themselves, which shows just how enormous this fortune is!
"There's movement up ahead!"
Lu Yuan's ears twitched slightly, and he immediately heard a series of shrill howls coming from a beast.
He looked up.
Half a li in front of him, a few robust members of the Stone Turtle Tribe were wielding longbows and iron spears, hunting a wild boar!
The wild boar was jet black, with rough fur and a body so strong it was terrifying, resembling a small mountain, weighing at least several thousand pounds.
And beside the wild boar were six terrified piglets, which, frightened, hurriedly fled into the forest.
But they didn't get far before arrows pierced through their bodies, falling in pools of blood!
"Roar!"
Seeing its young being shot, the mother pig fell into a frenzy, eyes blood-red, blinded by hatred, recklessly charging at the men.
Despite its seemingly massive body, its speed was alarmingly fast.
It crushed everything in its path, even snapping ancient trees as thick as a man's embrace.
But the Stone Turtle Tribe members did not dodge; instead, they stood quietly in place.
It was not until the wild boar was about to reach them.
The strong men suddenly thrust their iron spears, attempting to face the frenzied wild boar head-on!
It's known that a boar can be more dangerous than a bear or tiger at times.
Not to mention.
A wild boar with piglets has an increased level of aggression and danger.
And this boar, having witnessed its piglets being shot, had gone completely berserk.
Its power was enough to severely injure a Qi Refiner!
But in Lu Yuan's perception.
These strong men were mere mortals.
"They must have something to rely on to be so calm!"
Lu Yuan's eyes flickered as he continued to observe the situation ahead.
As they were about to be turned into mince by the boar.
They shouted in unison, and a crimson Blood Qi emerged from their bodies.
Then their power suddenly surged, and they tightly gripped the refined iron spears thicker than their arms.
The next moment.
The sharp spears easily pierced the wild boar's body, suspending it in mid-air!
The wild boar screamed tragically, its body struggling continuously, but the spears in the men's hands remained unshaken, their quality unbelievably good.
"The crude iron tools of the Barbaric Wilderness make it difficult to mass-produce such fine spears—this is the forging technology from the Great Court Country!"
"And the technique they just used resembles the Great Court Army Formation Method that the Clan Leader mentioned!"
Lu Yuan's heart trembled, finally understanding what was going on.
No wonder the Stone Turtle Tribe dared to kill wantonly, depleting their resources, all to desperately enhance their power.
No wonder they dared to act so arrogantly, boldly trespassing to poach on the Great Wind Tribe's territory.
All of this was because they had a powerful backer!
The Great Court Country!
Though the Great Wilderness is harsh and survival is difficult.
But compared to those venomous snakes and insects, or the ferocious Exotic Beasts.
The Great Court Country is the true nightmare and mortal enemy of all Great Wilderness people!
In fact, back in the day, the Great Court Country was just one of the ten thousand tribes in the Great Wilderness.
The reason they could rise above and establish their own country.
The most important reason is that they received support from the Celestial Deities!
Divine right to rule, overseeing the people on behalf of Heaven!
Since then, the Great Court Country has been acting on behalf of the Deities, responsible for overseeing the ten thousand tribes of the Great Wilderness, and also becoming the mortal enemy of all the Great Wilderness people.
But Lu Yuan didn't expect.
The Stone Turtle Tribe would collude with foreign enemies, secretly aligning with the Great Court Country!
"Is it because of my appearance that the trajectory of destiny has changed?"
Lu Yuan's face didn't look good.
In the life experiences deduced by the Will of the Heavens.
Years of drought in the Great Wilderness led to increasingly fierce struggles among various tribes.
Although the Stone Turtle Tribe annexed the Great Wind Tribe, they, too, were eventually annihilated by other tribes.
But in this life, the situation of the Stone Turtle Tribe changed.
This also indicates that the targeting from the Barbaric Heavenly Dao is ubiquitous and gradually intensifying, intending to eliminate Lu Yuan!
"Although the Celestial Divine Race can control the Heavenly Dao, the Barbaric World is too vast. Even if they sense something, it will be difficult for them to find me immediately."
"But over time, a deity will inevitably notice my existence sooner or later."
"Therefore, I must grow as strong as possible and develop quickly in the shortest time!"
Lu Yuan felt a strong sense of urgency rise within him once more.
Finding someone in this vast world is as impossible as fishing for a needle in the ocean.
For now, the Celestial Divine Race hasn't taken significant action.
It's simply because Lu Yuan is too weak, unable to pose any substantial threat to them, not enough for them to pay a significant price.
However, as Lu Yuan's power increases, the targeting from the Heavenly Dao's will becomes increasingly dangerous.
If he ever draws the attention of the Celestial Divine Race,
at that time, not only the Great Wilderness but also the world where Lu Yuan resides could be razed to the ground instantly!
"Since the Stone Turtle Tribe dared to collude with the Great Court Country, they can no longer be allowed to remain!"
Lu Yuan had countless thoughts swirling in his mind, and his gaze became increasingly cold.
He looked at the few tribesmen of the Stone Turtle Tribe ahead, immediately drawing and releasing his bow, firing six arrows in the span of a single breath.
The next moment.
Arrows shot forth like meteors, arriving instantly!
"Thud!"
The tribesmen of the Stone Turtle Tribe didn't even know what happened before they had arrows pierce their heads, their bodies heavy as they crashed to the ground.
Once they were all lying dead on the ground, the whistle of the arrows breaking through the air could be heard!
This demonstrated how terrifyingly fast the arrows were, faster than the sound!
He ensured no one was left alive.
Only then did Lu Yuan emerge from the woods and begin to clean the battlefield.
He first gathered the wild boars on the ground, then searched the bodies of those few people, collecting all spears and arrows.
After stripping them of their clothing, he quietly left the place.
Along the way, Lu Yuan encountered several more groups of Stone Turtle Tribe hunters.
He showed no mercy, killing them all with a single arrow.
Leaving no survivors wherever he passed.
After passing through dense jungles and crossing several mountains, a vista suddenly opened before him.
At the foot of the mountains stretched a village.
Most buildings of the village were stone houses, but the scale was several times larger than that of the Great Wind Tribe.
As night fell.
Many adult men sat around the bonfire, devouring meat and gulping wine as if celebrating some joyful event.
At the village entrance stood a stone turtle statue, marking the location of the Stone Turtle Tribe!
"Where did they get so much food?"
Lu Yuan sniffed the faint aroma of wine in the air, feeling confused.
The land of the Great Wilderness is barren and hard to cultivate, making grain extremely scarce.
Many tribes struggle to get enough food, let alone having extra to brew wine.
The rich fragrance of the wine the Stone Turtle Tribe drank was clearly a gourmet of sorts!
Lu Yuan swept his gaze around, finally spotting a middle-aged man surrounded by tribesmen near a bonfire.
The man was about fifty years old, clad in an animal skin short robe, his robust body muscular, firm like stone.
His gaze was sharp and commanding, like a wolf eyeing an eagle.
Just sitting there, he evoked awe.
Though Lu Yuan had never met this man, he could guess who he was.
He was the Clan Leader of the Stone Turtle Tribe, Shi Hu!
However, beside Shi Hu was a well-dressed man.
The man's attire was exquisite, his demeanor arrogant.
As he looked at the rough-and-tumble tribesmen of the Stone Turtle Tribe, there was a faint trace of disdain in his eyes.
Despite Shi Hu's impressive aura, his words and actions were extraordinarily respectful towards the well-dressed man, seemingly treating him as the superior!
"This person is from the Great Court Country, and he dares to appear so blatantly in the Great Wilderness?"
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, feeling an escalating sense of impending doom in his heart.
It seemed that Shi Hu and this well-dressed man were discussing something.
But due to the distance, he could not hear clearly.
Lu Yuan gritted his teeth.
He immediately used the cover of night to quietly approach the Stone Turtle Tribe.
When he crouched in a bush outside the village, he finally heard the voices of the two men speaking.
