Dijiang Tribe, Above Ten Thousand (1/10)

As the Tower Ship sailed further upstream, Wu Chu gazed in the direction of the Great River Water Lord's Palace and sighed, "I reckon this Great River Basin won't be peaceful for much longer."

Houtu, who was reclining on a deck chair under a parasol, seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

Lying beside Houtu, Qingqiu Li, who was sipping the coconut milk jelly that Little Moon Spirit and the others had just developed through a straw, said, "Does my husband mean that the Water Lord is deliberately causing trouble?"

She paused, then continued, "The Three Clans are currently living in peace. Isn't he afraid that his excessive actions will reignite the war Three Clans?"

Houtu chimed in, "Sister, did you notice? The blood food that guy offered us was at least at the Golden Immortal level. Remember? He said it was beef from a wild bull. Wild bulls are land creatures, and they were likely one of the followers of the Qilin Clan. He killed it so casually..."

Therefore, in this Primordial Land, it truly is a world where the strong prey on the weak.

This is not a metaphor, but a bloody fact.

In fact, Wu Chu and his group had eaten quite a few beings at the Golden Immortal Realm, Taiyi Realm, and even Daluo Realm.

However, the food they ate was all brought to Purple Jade Mountain by other people.

For Wu Chu and his group, the bottom line was that they wouldn't personally kill those creatures.

But since everyone else had killed their prey and brought it right to his mouth, he naturally couldn't refuse to eat it.

He's not someone to be trifled with, but he's not that pretentious.

Unfortunately, after Wu Chu's remarks, sashimi, a delicacy, was no longer on everyone's radar.

Although they found nothing wrong with their bodies after checking themselves, they lost all interest after seeing the thin, white parasite.

Even the fish soup doesn't taste as good as it used to.

And so they continued westward for over a hundred years.

In the distance, a towering mountain could be seen, its height obscured by clouds clinging to its cliff face. From that cliff face, the cry of an eagle Yunxiao.

Houtu pointed to the mountain and said, "That mountain is called Taihua. My elder brother's tribe is at the foot of that mountain. Now that we're here, let's go and stay for a few days!"

Just then, a hearty laugh came from the clouds.

Then a massive, rock-solid body came crashing down from above, hurtling straight toward the Tower Ship.

Hearing the laughter, everyone looked up and were startled by the enormous body. Houtu raised her seemingly slender but actually explosively powerful long leg, whipped it upwards, and a beam of light shot out from her foot, blasting towards the figure.

Bang...

The figure was struck by the leg shadow, and its rapidly descending body suddenly stopped. Its massive body shrank like a deflated balloon, shrinking many times over.

When the figure landed on the Tower Ship, it no longer possessed its previous imposing presence.

However, bang...

Its robust, towering body still caused the ship to sway slightly. Had this Tower Ship not been a Merit Spiritual Treasure, it would probably have been shattered by the impact.

Everyone stared curiously at the tall, muscular young man, whose body was like an iron tower and whose appearance was rugged. His physique was almost identical to that of the Ancestor Witch Dijiang.

Wu Chu was just like a primary school student in front of him, just as he was in front of Dijiang.

The young man laughed heartily and said, "Shao Hong greets Houtu. Thank you for your mercy."

After complimenting Houtu, the young man bowed to Wu Chu and Qingqiu Li, and introduced himself, "My name is Shao Hong, the second chief of the Dijiang Tribe. The chief said he was going to find a top-quality ingredient to treat you all... Please follow me to the tribe first!"

Wu Chu was not surprised by this, because the Dijiang Tribe shown on the Primordial World Map on his phone was indeed in the vicinity.

However, he wasn't sure if, in the original Primordial World mythology, Dijiang's tribe was located near Mount Taihua. After all, Mount Taihua is the same as Mount Hua in later generations!

However, this is Primordial World, and it has little to do with Earth.

Because of the towering Mount Taihua, the diameter of the mountain is so large that it is comparable to half the diameter of the Earth.

Therefore, in this Primordial World, Earth can only barely serve as a unit of measurement, and sometimes it is even too small to be used as a unit of measurement.

Shao Hong, the second leader of the Dijiang Tribe, has a cultivation level comparable to Kua, and will obviously become a Great Witch in the future. However, compared with the famous Great Witch in the Primordial World mythology, he doesn't seem to have much of a reputation, probably because he hasn't accomplished anything significant!

Legends like Kua Fu, Hou Yi Shoots the Suns the Xing Tian Gan Qi... these Great Witch who left a deep mark on the Primordial World myths are the ones who are known to people.

Of course, it's also possible that he accidentally died early on during the Witch-Demon War.

The group disembarked and went ashore, riding the clouds and mist, following the Witch Clan Warrior Shao Hong as he 'crossed mountains and valleys'.

Half a day later, a Witch Tribe appeared before everyone's eyes. The architectural style was similar to that of the Houtu Tribe, but the scale of the buildings was much larger than that of the Houtu tribe. However, the number of tribal shamans inside was slightly less than that of the Houtu Tribe.

The tribe was located in a valley at the foot of Mount Taihua, but this valley was very vast, even several times larger than the valley where the Houtu Tribe was located.

In terms of development potential, this place is actually much greater than the Houtu Tribe's.

However, given the rate at which the Witch Clan reproduces, even if they were given several hundred or a thousand more Epoch, this valley would be sufficient.

In the valley, there are fields and fields, planted with all kinds of crops, almost all of which came from Purple Jade Mountain.

The tribe is surrounded by a massive wooden wall made of giant trees, hundreds of meters thick and nearly a thousand meters high. If you weren't looking down from the air, standing before this wooden wall would truly make you feel incredibly small!

Although the Houtu Tribe also had a wall surrounding its perimeter, it was clearly not as tall as this one.

Fortunately, the wall is quite a distance from the actual center of the tribe; otherwise, such a high wall could easily create a sense of confinement.

As Shao Hong entered the tribe, the shamans who remained behind came out to greet Houtu. Clearly, they were no strangers to Houtu, the Ancestral Witch of the Houtu Tribe.

A group of little kids followed the adults around, laughing and joking. When the adults Houtu God, they followed suit.

However, when the shamans saw Wu Chu, they all widened their eyes in surprise.

Wu Chu looked at them with some surprise, then looked at Houtu with confusion. Houtu smiled faintly. Then he heard the shamans bow to him, saying, "We greet the Second Leader!"

Wu Chu looked at Shao Hong, "Aren't you the second chief of your tribe?"

Shao Hong chuckled and bowed to Wu Chu, saying, "Shao Hong greets the Second Leader!"

"Get up, get up, no need for formalities!" Wu Chu said, looking at Houtu and asking her, "What's going on here?"

Houtu smiled and said, "Your appearance has already spread to the other tribes. In view of your contributions to the Witch Clan and the fact that you are my husband, everyone has unanimously decided to make you the second-in-command of all the tribes. As long as you are here, you will always be the second-in-command of the tribes..."

Wu Chu was dumbfounded: So this really is 'second only to the emperor, above all others'?!
