The Difference Between the Barbarian Tribe and the Ancient Barbarian Tribe

This was the most rugged and imposing city the two had ever seen. Constructed from massive piles of refined steel and stone, it was indestructible and exuded a chilling aura, like a towering figure standing at the border between humans and Demon Race, suppressing all invading enemies.

The three large characters "Zhen Yao Guan" (Demon Suppression Pass) are not just for show; they are a rare treasure that can distinguish between humans and transformed Demon Race. Everyone entering the city must pass through the light of this treasure to prove their innocence, including Lu Yang and his companion.

"My uncle is stationed at the Demon-Locking Pass, it seems I won't be able to see him again." Meng Jingzhou shook his head with some regret.

"Make way! Make way! My brother is injured and needs a doctor!" Just as the two were about to enter the city, they heard shouts behind them. Two strong men were carrying a stretcher, and the person on the stretcher was rather thin and was groaning in pain.

The crowd instinctively made way for them, but just as the group was about to run into the Demon Suppression Pass, the three large characters "Demon Suppression Pass" enveloped them. The three screamed, white smoke billowed from their bodies, and they revealed their true forms.

The two strong men were actually two giant wolves, and the person being carried on the stretcher was not a human cultivator, but an old wolf that was not injured.

The soldiers guarding the gate of the Demon-Suppressing Pass reacted swiftly and decisively, raising their spears and weapons to kill the three Demon Beasts!

At Zhenyao Pass, Demon Beast that attempt to sneak in are frequently encountered, and their fate is always the same: death!

Upon entering the Demon-Suppressing Pass, the two saw people carrying Demon Beast hides and inner cores for sale on the street, others selling healing pills that were 20% cheaper than in stores, and still others claiming to be highly skilled and able to act as bodyguards.

These people, like the city itself, are rugged and unrestrained.

The two first found a hotel, rested for a night, and recovered their energy to figure out their current situation.

Lu Yang pointed to the map and analyzed the intelligence he had gathered.

"This is the Demon Suppression Pass, which is 200,000 li away from the Demon Locking Pass where your uncle is. The dense forest we just entered is the boundary between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Demon Realm, separating the two sides. It is a neutral zone and does not belong to any particular power."

"Only by passing through dense forests and traversing thick fog can one reach the true demon realm."

"I asked the newspaper vendor, and he said this is a major trading hub for Demon Beast. The Landing Money Merchant Guild's flying boats regularly fly here, and one will arrive tomorrow at noon. So, do you want to go back?"

Meng Jingzhou was about to say that it was obvious he should go back, but he changed his mind before he could finish speaking.

"Go back? Why should we go back? This dense forest has caused us so much trouble. If we don't teach those Demon Beast a lesson, how will we face others in the future?"

Lu Yang smiled broadly, "What a coincidence, that's what I was thinking too."

The two hit it off immediately and decided to stay there for a while, determined not to go back until they made something of themselves.

Going back looking so disheveled is not in line with their style.

"It's a pity that Man Gu didn't come. The Ancient Barbarian Tribe bloodline within him has a natural suppressive effect on Demon Beast." In the spiritual space, the Immortal Fairy shook her head regretfully.

Lu Yang suspected that the Immortal Fairy knew everything when her senior sister was standing behind the two of them, and that she didn't warn him because she wanted to see him make a fool of himself.

Logical skepticism.

Lu Yang was quickly drawn to the topic of the Immortal Fairy: "There's such a saying?"

Speaking of this, the Immortal Fairy was exceptionally proud. With one hand on her hip, she exuded an air of authority. "Of course! Did you think I merely raised the barbarian race's intellectual ceiling and shared that wisdom with them? A small portion of my power was also shared with them!"

"Who do you think I am? How many High Antiquity Demon Beast do you think I ate in order to create the <Complete Cooking Manual>?"

"The High Antiquity Demon Beast feared me because of their bloodline. Man Gu obtained my insignificant power and indirectly acquired this ability, giving him a natural advantage against Demon Beast!"

"With the gifts from this immortal, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Ancient Barbarian Tribe could swagger around among the Demon Race. When facing someone a whole level lower, they could make them grovel with the pressure of their bloodline. If they encountered someone of the same level, one of them could easily take on two!"

Lu Yang was about to praise the Immortal Fairy for her might and incredible power when he suddenly remembered another question:

"Can this kind of restraint be temporarily concealed? For example, when the Ancient Barbarian Tribe were hunting, they would hide in the shadows. Once a Demon Beast approached, even though they couldn't see the barbarian, they would instinctively be afraid of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe bloodline and run away in terror?"

The Immortal Fairy calmly pondered for a moment, then burst into laughter. "... Hahaha, you've really thought things through! With me protecting them, how could the barbarians possibly run out of food?"

"Fairy, please don't laugh yet, answer my question."

"Hahaha, the barbarians have my protection!"

Lu Yang: "..."

Previously, Lu Yang had been wondering what the difference was between the Ancient Barbarian Tribe and the current barbarians. He asked Man Gu, but Man Gu couldn't answer either. He only said that the Ancient Barbarian Tribe contained a mysterious power within them, which had many abilities and could provide them with great help. However, because this power was so strong that it caused the Ancient Barbarian Tribe to go against the laws of nature, it gradually faded and disappeared over the years.

As for what this mysterious power is, Man Gu himself doesn't know, and the elders of the tribe can't explain it either, only saying that it is a gift from heaven.

Now that I think about it, could this mysterious power have been a curse cast by an immortal fairy?

As for why only Man Gu remained of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe, it is unknown whether it was due to natural selection and survival of the fittest, or whether the power of the immortal fairy was diluted with each generation.

"Actually, I am quite popular among the Demon Race."

Lu Yang looked at the Immortal Fairy with suspicion. Really? Had the Demon Race lost their minds? They were actually welcoming you so warmly?

"What, you don't believe me? The Qiongqi clan said the Taotie clan would very much welcome me to their side, and the Taotie clan said the Qiongqi clan would very much welcome me to their side. I traveled around the Demon Race realm, and everywhere I went, there was laughter and joy as they bid me farewell."

"Actually, it's understandable. After all, the descent of immortals to the Demon Race is like a blessing from heaven."

"Now you know how fortunate I am to be in your spiritual space. Putting everything else aside, just take the High Antiquity secrets, which I can casually recount. No one else could do what I can."

"Is any of the High Antiquity secrets you mentioned useful, Fairy?"

Lu Yang felt he was not destined to enjoy this blessing, and suggested that someone with a stronger fate should take it.

For example, the senior sister is quite good.

In reality, Lu Yang sighed softly, "Poor barbarian Man Gu."

Meng Jingzhou was completely bewildered. "What's wrong with Man Gu?"

They suffered in the dense forest, so why is Man Gu pitiful?

"It's nothing, let's continue discussing what to do next."
