"Your Excellency, I am deeply grateful!" Lord Jie was flying rapidly from afar, saw that the young man was out of danger and made a strange and elegant gesture to Lu Yan'an in mid-air.

Lu Yan'an, standing to the side, was taken aback, but immediately recognized the gesture as the one described in the background information as the "Aurora Race's " gesture of gratitude. He then waved his hand and smiled in response!

Seeing Lu Yan'an's gesture in response, Lord Jie seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Please help me protect these children. Leave the Wolf King to me!" After saying that, he turned around in mid-air and instantly returned to the Wolf King's side.

"Go to hell!"

Lord Jie's face was fierce, and his previous elegance seemed to have vanished. The long sword in his hand was amplified by the domain surrounding him, and its attack power instantly received a qualitative leap!

"Clang!"

The longsword struck the Shuofeng Wolf King on the head, instantly knocking it back!

Copper skin, iron bones, and a tofu-like waist have always been characteristics of wolves. Although its head had been struck by a blow amplified by Lord Jie's domain, the Shuofeng Wolf King was not seriously injured; only the ferocity in its eyes deepened!

"Awooo!" After a wolf howl, all the Shuofeng Wolf seemed to have been buffed, and began to ignore the attacks of the Aurora Race, attempting to trade blows!

The game immediately became one-sided!

On the other side, the Wolf King, hundreds of meters tall, seized the moment when Lord Jie was distracted by his people and delivered a fatal blow!

Suddenly--

A streak of white light flashed like lightning and struck the Shuofeng Wolf King instantly.

"Boom!"

The Wolf King's bones were instantly shattered, and its entire body was sent flying like a tennis ball, rolling, struggling, and howling before slowly losing its life. A hint of disbelief was revealed in its savage eyes!

At this moment, the restless and fearless wolf pack around them paused for a moment, and the Aurora Race members on the scene seized the opportunity to launch a frenzied attack!

"Ouch..."

With the Wolf King dead, the wolf pack immediately collapsed, losing all will to fight and beginning a frantic escape!

"Very good."

"That was a close call! I escaped death!"

When the last of the North Shuofeng Wolf disappeared from sight, the entire group erupted in a deafening cheer!

"Thank you for your help, sir." Lord Jie bowed and clasped his hands in thanks to Lu Yan'an after the crisis was averted.

Although Lu Yan'an's aura was only at the peak of the Haoyue Period (the peak of the Universe Level), the strength he displayed was enough to make Lord Jie, a powerful expert at the Blazing Lieri Level (Domain Lord level), maintain his respect! After all, his hateful attack only sent the Shuofeng Wolf King flying, without even causing any damage! Lu Yan'an, on the other hand, killed it instantly, making the difference in their strength immediately apparent.

Lu Yan'an nodded slightly. From the other party's pure Mingguang Star accent, he roughly understood that the group of natives in front of him were the Aurora Race he was looking for. So he also spoke in the same local dialect, "It's nothing."

"But what are you doing in this forest on this night when the energy tide is so abundant?" Lu Yan'an asked curiously.

"My lord, it's like this. We are a branch of the Aurora Race from the Yandang Mountain Range. We only entered the forest to hunt and store food. But we never expected to encounter an energy tide at the beginning of the month!" As he spoke, the Lord Jie, scratched the back of his head in frustration.

Lu Yan'an now understood just how unlucky this team was! Although the energy tide would arrive on a random, unpredictable day in the middle of each month, it rarely started on the very first day, and this kind of situation would only occur once every few hundred times!

"In that case, do you have a map showing how to get out of here? I'm a traveler from the other side of the Yandang Mountain Range, but I've gotten lost!" he said, his underlying message clear: First, I'm an outsider with no grudge against you! Second, I'm lost and need your help!

Sure enough, when Lord Jie, the leader, heard Lu Yan'an's question, he first let out a long sigh and then laughed, "In that case, why don't you come back to our camp with us, my lord? We don't have a map, but our ancestors have lived in this mountain range for generations. You could say that every member of our clan is a living map of this mountain range!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan'an nodded and replied, "Anything is fine, as long as I can get out!"

Hearing Lu Yan'an's affirmative answer, Lord Jie was also very happy. With such a powerful person protecting him, the journey back would be safe and worry-free!

However, don't assume all the natives are fools. Before taking Lu Yan'an along, Lord Jie had considered many factors.

First, there's no doubt that this powerful figure claiming to be a wanderer saved the entire hunting party's lives. Second, when thanking him earlier, Lord Jie made a gesture of gratitude, a universal gesture of thanks within the entire Aurora Race! Only members of the clan know this gesture, thus preventing impersonation by Alien Race!

Based on these two points, and considering that their tribe has a powerful expert at the Haoyang Level (World Lord Level), Lord Jie is not afraid that Lu Yan'an may have any ill intentions!

A moment later, after the hunting party had finished cleaning up the battlefield.

Lu Yan'an and his team set off together, leaving the ancient forest.

In the deep primeval forest, a hunting party was moving swiftly forward. It was Lu Yan'an's group, and they were all able to chat comfortably via telepathy as they traveled.

"My lord, we should be able to reach the camp in about an hour!" Lord Jie Lu Yan'an.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan'an nodded. "Is this a village-level or town-level administrative center?"

According to the information obtained from the Virtual Universe Company, although the information was quite detailed, Mingguang Star is, after all, an enormous planet, and it is impossible to cover everything. It only gave a general overview of the Aurora Race's situation on Mingguang Star, and there was very little information on other aspects, which the Core Member needed to judge for themselves!

According to the information.

On Mingguang Star, strength is divided into "Xinghui Level" -- "Anxing Level" -- "Haoyue Level" -- "Blazing Sun Lieri Level" -- "Haoyang Level" -- "Immortal God," which actually corresponds to the planetary Planetary Level, Star Level Universe Level, Domain Lord, World Lord, and immortal in the universe.

The Aurora Race's settlements on Mingguang Star are mainly divided into "village-level settlements" and "town-level settlements."

The village-level settlement is the smallest core of the Aurora Race, and the "village chief" of each village-level settlement must be of the Lieri Level (Domain Lord) strength.

Township-level administrative centers are formed by combining numerous village-level administrative centers, and the "town mayor" of each township-level administrative center must possess the strength of Haoyang Level (World Lord)!

"That is naturally a 'township-level seat'. Our town mayor, Mingluo, is a renowned Haoyang Level expert!" Lord Jie said proudly.

"I see. No wonder. After all, they have Domain Lord- level experts leading the teams. How could they not be town-level hunting teams?" Lu Yan'an, "You can always find out more about a town-level base than a regular village-level base!" Moreover, you should know that a typical Lieri Level expert is enough to serve as the village chief in a village-level base!

The Aurora Race is distributed primarily in villages on Mingguang Star, with settlements scattered throughout the planet. They can be found in virtually every corner of the planet, but strangely, they are rarely seen in its many large cities. This is quite puzzling.

"I need information about the Aurora Statue and the Aurora Tower! Hopefully, I can find something in this town-level outpost," he thought to himself.

Maintaining a speed of nearly 1,000 kilometers per hour was very easy even for the young martial artists of the Xinghui Level who were there to broaden their horizons.

"Look, our town-level outpost is in the distance, about half an hour away." Lord Jie pointed to the distant, indistinct, ancient camp and said with a smile. It was here that he truly felt at ease, after all, no one on Mingguang Star dared to offend a "town mayor" level being from the Aurora Race!

Rumble!

As the group traveled at breakneck speed, they soon arrived at the gate of the camp. The name "Liuyun Town," written in the common language of Mingguang Star, was extremely conspicuous!
