Chapter 296: The Sixth Era: Night of Annihilation, Land Abandoned by the Gods!_2
Water cannot extinguish, and earth cannot smother.
Even the stone house built from rocks would melt instantly!
Those ordinary mortals were turned to ashes in an instant by the sea of flames, without even uttering a cry.
The Stone Turtle Tribe, which had a history of over a hundred thousand years, was obliterated in the flames, never to exist again!
And Lu Yuan stood outside the village, quietly watching this scene with a calm and indifferent gaze, without any emotion in his heart.
To eradicate evil completely, one must pull it up by the roots.
Since the Stone Turtle Tribe colluded with Zhenhuang City, attempting to target the Great Wind Tribe, they must pay the price for this.
As for leaving the ordinary members of the Stone Turtle Tribe behind as slaves, that was even more impossible.
The Great Wilderness People value bloodline inheritance and have a strong sense of belonging to their tribe, making it difficult to integrate into other tribes.
What's more, the Great Wind Tribe only has a few hundred people, while the Stone Turtle lineage has thousands.
There is still a blood feud between the two; with more slaves than masters, trouble is sure to arise sooner or later!
...
The next morning.
When the morning sun rose, marking the start of a busy day for the Great Wilderness Tribes.
A young boy dressed in a beast robe, with a hunting knife at his waist and a longbow on his back, returned from the deep mountains along a winding mountain road.
The boy was covered in bloodstains and looked exhausted.
But upon seeing the familiar small village ahead, his tense nerves finally relaxed.
"Grandpa, little babe is back!"
Six-year-old Wind Chime was sitting on a big rock at the village entrance, eagerly watching the mountain road.
When she saw Lu Yuan returning from hunting, she jumped off the rock and ran to him.
"Oh my, little babe, are you injured?"
Wind Chime looked up at Lu Yuan and asked with concern.
Though she was two years older than Lu Yuan, he was much taller due to his years of cultivation, now taller than a ten-year-old child.
"I'm fine, it's just some bloodstains."
Lu Yuan felt warmth in his heart, reaching out to pat Wind Chime's little head.
"Little babe, you can't pat my head, it'll stunt my growth."
Wind Chime said playfully, always bothered by the height difference between her and Lu Yuan.
"Little Lingzi, you need to eat more, so you can grow taller in the future."
Lu Yuan said with a faint smile.
"But I found a Wind Element Qi Refining Technique this time, which is very suitable for your cultivation. You'll be able to become a Qi Refiner in the future."
As he spoke.
He conjured a Beast Hide Scroll out of thin air and handed it to Wind Chime.
According to the information revealed in life experiences.
Wind Chime is gifted, with a rare Wind Spirit Body, gaining divine assistance in cultivating the Wind Dao.
Therefore, after Shi Hu annexed the Great Wind Tribe, he accepted her as a nominal disciple and even passed on an incomplete Wind Element Qi Refining Technique to her.
But Shi Hu withheld something.
Wind Chime had the Qi Refining Technique, but no Visualization Image. No matter how good her talent was, she could only stop at the Qi Refining Realm.
In this way.
She would forever remain under Shi Hu's control and could only serve the Stone Turtle Tribe for life!
With Lu Yuan's arrival, however, Wind Chime's fate changed.
The entire Stone Turtle Tribe was uprooted by Lu Yuan, leaving no trace of the bloodline.
"Xiaoyuan, you're back?"
Feng Huai'an was relieved to see Lu Yuan return safely, his heart finally at ease.
But when he saw the Beast Hide Scroll in Wind Chime's hand, his gaze sharpened, and he curiously asked: "Ling'Er, what's this?"
"Grandpa, this is the Cultivation Method Little Babe gave me!"
Wind Chime beamed with joy, her big eyes curving into crescents.
Lu Yuan also did not hide anything, recounting everything he had experienced.
Upon learning the ins and outs of the events, Feng Huai'an was thunderstruck and remained in a daze for a long time.
He originally thought Lu Yuan was just going hunting in the mountains.
Who would have thought that Lu Yuan would wipe out the Stone Turtle Tribe with ease?
Feng Huai'an's mind was in chaos, and it took him quite a while to reluctantly accept this fact.
When he heard about the Stone Turtle Tribe's allegiance to Zhenhuang City, Feng Huai'an's expression changed slightly, feeling a sudden sense of hindsight fear.
If not for Lu Yuan this time.
Once Shi Hu broke through to the Spirit Embryo Realm, the entire Great Wind Tribe would have suffered a terrible fate!
Feng Huai'an didn't have much to say about Lu Yuan burning the Stone Turtle Tribe to ashes either.
The survival laws of the Great Wilderness are just that cruel.
It's either you die, or I perish.
If you are kind to your enemies, you will only put yourself and your tribesmen in a desperate situation.
"Clan Leader Grandpa, I have obtained a lot of materials and food this time, you can have them."
Lu Yuan wasn't stingy and handed a Hundred Treasures Pouch to Feng Huai'an.
It was looted from a man in brocade clothing, the space inside was extremely vast, easily holding millions of pounds of food.
When Feng Huai'an saw the mountain-like pile of white rice, even someone as calm and steady as he was momentarily dazzled.
After a while, he calmed his mind and put the ring away.
"There are still wild vegetables and game on the mountain, so we don't have to worry about food for now."
"When winter comes and food is scarce, I'll go to the market to exchange this rice for coarse grains."
Lu Yuan nodded, having no objection to Feng Huai'an's arrangement.
In the Great Wilderness, resources are scarce, and filling the stomach is the most important thing.
This million pounds of rice may seem like a lot, but the Great Wilderness men have a huge appetite. Even if saved carefully, it can barely last about a year.
And a pound of rice can be exchanged for several pounds of coarse bran and grains.
By saving, there'll be no need to worry about food for the next few years!
"The great drought is coming, it seems we need the Clan Leader to stockpile more food."
Lu Yuan thought to himself.
In ten years, a great drought, nothing will grow.
Countless people will likely starve to death in the near future.
