Great Wilderness Tycoon

"Stop! What cultivator dares trespass on our Witch Race territory!"

You's voice boomed like a bell, his gaze sharp as a knife as he swept over Chen Song and the three strange beasts behind him. His eyes grew even more vigilant when he sensed the extraordinary auras of the Green Ox and Kui Niu. The Witch Race did not cultivate the Primordial Spirit, but they were extremely sensitive to Blood Essence and strength.

Chen Song jumped down from Big White's back, cupped his hands with a grin, and said, "Brother, this humble Taoist is Chen Song, a disciple under the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain. I've come specifically to visit the Ancestral Witches, please inform them."

"A disciple of the Three Pure Ones?" You frowned. While the Witch Race and the Three Pure Ones had no major conflicts, they weren't exactly close. He sized up Chen Song, seeing that although his aura was profound, he didn't seem to have reached the level of an Ancestral Witch. Furthermore, Chen Song had brought three clearly subdued strange beasts, making You skeptical and suspecting he might be speaking nonsense.

"Hmph! You claim to be a disciple of the Three Pure Ones just like that? What proof do you have? Are the Ancestral Witches people you can just meet whenever you please?" You snorted, slamming his giant axe down, causing ripples in the void. "I find your behavior suspicious, leave quickly, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Chen Song chuckled upon hearing this, "Oh, you want proof? When I was playing Mahjong with your Ancestral Witches in the Purple Heaven Palace, you were probably still working out!" He said it as a joke, but to You, it was extreme disrespect and provocation!

"Arrogant junior! How dare you insult the Ancestral Witches! Take this axe!" You roared in fury, no longer bothering with pleasantries. His Blood Essence surged around him like a burning furnace, and his giant axe, carrying the force to split mountains and shatter rocks, descended towards Chen Song's head! The Witch Race's combat style was always direct and overbearing!

"Damn it! You're going to fight just like that!" Chen Song hadn't expected this Great Witch to have such a fiery temper and quickly dodged using his movement technique. The axe's energy grazed past him, cleaving a bottomless chasm in the ground!

"Brother! Be careful!" Big White shrieked in fear at the display, hiding behind the Green Ox.

Seeing this, the Kui Niu and Green Ox immediately stepped forward, shielding Chen Song. Lightning flashed around the Kui Niu's single horn, and water vapor billowed from the Green Ox's single horn, their powerful auras locking onto You.

"Hmph! You think two beasts can protect you?" You was unfazed. Several Great Witches behind him also drew their weapons, and the atmosphere instantly became tense!

"Stop!"

Just at this critical moment, a gentle yet undeniably authoritative female voice rang out. A flash of earth-yellow light appeared, and an Ancestral Witch with a human body, snake tail, compassionate face, and an aura of profound peace appeared in the middle of the scene. It was the Ancestral Witch Houtu.

"You, do not be rude." Houtu glanced at You, who immediately restrained his aura and respectfully retreated.

She then turned her gaze to Chen Song, a hint of surprise and a smile appearing on her face. "I was wondering who was causing a commotion at our Witch Race's doorstep, it turns out to be young friend Chen Song. It's been a thousand years, and your demeanor is even more impressive than before."

This fellow was truly an interesting character, daring to bring his brothers and sisters to play in such a solemn and majestic place as the Purple Heaven Palace. One didn't know if he was truly bold or simply fearless.

Chen Song, seeing his "old acquaintance," especially the kindest Houtu, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward to pay his respects. "Senior Houtu! You're finally here! Your gatekeeper brother is too straightforward; he almost chopped me up as a spy!"

Houtu chuckled, "You is straightforward, little friend, please don't take offense. May I ask the purpose of your visit today?" She had also seen the Green Ox and Kui Niu behind Chen Song and was secretly amazed by the divine nature of these two oxen.

As the Ancestral Witch of Earth, she was quite familiar with the terrain around Buzhou Mountain. She surmised that the Green Ox must be the one cultivating in the nearby marsh.

Chen Song grinned, rubbing his hands together. "It's nothing major. I was just traveling and passed by Buzhou Mountain. I thought it's been a while since I've seen you Ancestral Witches, so I came to visit." As he spoke, he winked at Houtu.

Houtu heard this and thought, this child is really too familiar. She hadn't played with him in Purple霄 Palace.

"I see. You are thoughtful, little friend." Houtu nodded. "Since that's the case, please come inside with me. My brothers happen to be in the tribe as well."

With Houtu leading the way, there was naturally no obstruction. Although You and the other Great Witches were still somewhat suspicious of Chen Song, they dared not say more when Ancestral Witch Houtu had spoken. They could only curiously observe this strange group.

Entering the Witch Race's tribal area, Chen Song's eyes were opened. Everywhere he looked, there were strong Witch Race members. Some were engaged in feats of strength, others were tempering their physical bodies, and some were dismembering enormous Yao Beasts, exuding a sense of primitive, wild power.

Many Witch Race members curiously looked at Chen Song, the "delicate-skinned and tender-fleshed" outsider, and the two formidable-looking oxen and one silly, somewhat cheeky Big White beside him.

Houtu directly led Chen Song to a very spacious stone hall in the center of the tribe. At this moment, several Ancestral Witches were inside the stone hall, either discussing matters or... drinking and eating meat.

"Haha! Sister Houtu, you're back? Hmm? Who is this little fellow? He looks a bit familiar?" Zhurong, an Ancestral Witch covered in fiery red, with a short temper, was the first to exclaim. He was holding a roasted, fragrant beast leg in his hand.

"Eh? Isn't this little Pine Tree?" Gonggong, with his long, water-blue hair, also recognized Chen Song.

Following that, Dijiang, Gou Mang, Rushou, and the other Ancestral Witches present also turned their gazes. Chen Song's performance in the Purple Heaven Palace (especially his troublemaking abilities) had left a deep impression on them.

"Esteemed Ancestral Witches, long time no see, I've missed you all dearly!" Chen Song, with his thick skin, greeted them familiarly, and then introduced his new companions. "These are the... uh, companions I've recently taken in, Kui Niu and Green Ox. And this silly dog, Big White."

Big White, stared at by so many Ancestral Witches, was so scared it tucked its tail, but it still forced out a "Woof" as a greeting.

The Kui Niu and Green Ox lowered their heads, showing respect to the strong.

"Yo! Kid, you're quite something! These two young bulls are good, both powerful strange beasts of the Great Wilderness!" Zhurong swaggered over, patted the Kui Niu and Green Ox, felt the immense power within them, and nodded. "Interesting!"

Gonggong was more interested in the Green Ox. "The water spiritual energy of this Green Ox is very pure! Come, come, let's compare water control techniques!" He was about to make a move.

Chen Song rubbed his forehead. The Witch Race people were good in all aspects and treated him well, but they just lacked brains, were single-minded, and reckless!

Chen Song quickly stopped him. "Senior Gonggong! Senior Gonggong! Please calm down! I came this time mainly to gather with you seniors and play some fun games!" He quickly steered the conversation back on track.

Upon hearing "play some fun games," the eyes of several Ancestral Witches lit up. The Mahjong and Poker outside Purple Heaven Palace were unforgettable for them.

"Fun? Play Mahjong or Fight the Landlord? Come, come, with Sister Houtu here this time, you'll definitely be covered in glory!" Dijiang instantly appeared before Chen Song, his face full of anticipation.

"Or do you want to play Werewolf!" Gou Mang also leaned in, his eyes shining.

"Quick, quick! Bring them out! We didn't have enough last time!" Zhurong was impatient.

In fact, they had played since returning, but the Witch Race's intelligence was inherently insufficient, and they felt it wasn't as fun as when Chen Song was there.

Chen Song looked at these Ancestral Witches, who were like curious babies, and chuckled inwardly. Indeed, whether human or Witch, they couldn't escape the "true fragrance" law! He cleared his throat and spoke like a salesman:

"Esteemed Seniors! Last time's Mahjong, Poker, and Werewolf, those were nothing! Today, your junior has brought something fresher and more fun!"

Saying that, he took out a giant chessboard engraved with the mountains and rivers of the Great Wilderness, marked with various fortuitous encounters, dangerous places, and blessed lands, along with a pile of intricately shaped pieces representing different races and cultivation levels, and several specially made dice.

"This item is called--'Great Wilderness Tycoon'!"
