Legendary Clan Chief-Chapter 56 - 55 Duanmu City!_1

56 -55: Duanmu City!_1

Upon arriving in Duanmu City, Xiao Chen truly understood his ignorance.

The Great Wasteland was boundless, and the Gu Yuan Tribe was nothing more than a tiny speck in this vast desolation, akin to a floating duckweed in the ocean.

The majestic city exuded a sense of long-gone years.

The mottled city walls had seen the end of gunpowder warfare, but the scars of past swords, guns, and spears couldn’t be concealed.

Darkened blood stains made the city look even more formidable.

In front of the city gates, there was a constant flurry of activity.

Adventurers from various paths crowded in succession, and numerous strange creatures from the primordial era emerged one after another.

Some monsters, which were rarely seen even in the Great Wasteland, entered and left Duanmu City.

Through Xiao Chen’s observation, the humans of Duanmu City also mostly possessed extraordinary cultivation.

In the crowd he saw, almost no one had a momentum lower than the Large Perfection Realm of Bone-Tempering.

Incredible wild beasts, some resembling divine deer, some with scale armor on their backs, all loomed.

Xiao Chen even noticed a large, striped tiger with two heads, two wings on its back, making people feel a primitive, fierce aura from a distance.

Its body was as vast as a small hill, emitting a grand momentum that made it hard to resist.

“Two Star Beast!”

At this moment, from the dozens of feet high city gate, a huge body as white as jade, spanning seven to eight feet high, the White Jade Giant Elephant marched forward.

Its several feet long tusks shone under the sun.

Its feet as thick as pillars, caused the ground to tremble with every step.

The sound echoed across the earth, stars intertwined on its forehead, emitting continuous light, a strong aura continuously spread out.

People on the road dodged hastily, showing a hint of awe in their eyes when they looked in this direction.

What attracted Xiao Chen’s interest most was the man sitting on the back of this beast.

He was an unremarkable middle-aged man who seemed to be lost in his thoughts, utterly undisturbed by the chaotic atmosphere of the outside world.

Yet, no one dared to appear in front of him.

His massive momentum dominated an area.

Taming this beast that was comparable to the human Blood Refining Realm, could not be measured by common sense.

Xiao Chen blended into the massive crowd.

These people were a mixed bunch.

There were solitary adventurers who roamed everywhere with their bodies exuding a rich aura of death, as if they had just soaked in fresh blood.

There were also ordinary humans from other tribes who came here for trade.

Most of the human tribes carried big bamboo baskets on their shoulders.

These baskets were filled with all kinds of scales, furs, bone blood treasure medicines, and even some exotic fruits and treasures that Xiao Chen himself could not identify.

Each had a strong aroma and bright glow that made Xiao Chen’s heart itch.

He wished he could put all these into his Cave Heaven Space and take them back to the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Duanmu City was governed by a tribal alliance formed by the four largest tribes of the Giant Stone Valley.

They jointly managed the benefits.

Apart from handing over to the medium-grade Battle Division Iron Hoof Tribe, the remaining parts were left for the operation of the city.

The rest was divided by the four major tribes.

Because these four major tribes held this treasure, they have developed far more than the other tribes of the Giant Stone Valley.

They hold as much as 80% of the wealth in the entire Giant Stone Valley.

“Squeak!”

At this moment, a shocking bird call suddenly came from the sky, which made the pedestrians on the road panic.

The previously orderly crowd scattered, trying to protect their belongings.

“Damn, that Blue-eyed robber comes again.

How unlucky to encounter this rogue on patrol just after entering the city.”

Xiao Chen heard a big man in beast skin not far from him murmuring, although he complained, his hands did not slow down.

In an instant, he took down the bamboo basket full of bone blood treasure medicines from his back, holding it tightly in his arms.

At the same time, he moved his body towards the overhang on the side of the road, as if he wanted to hide himself.

A golden light suddenly flashed.

Looking up, a dark shadow that obscured the sun shrouded the sky above them.

Accompanying a surge of a mighty burst of Blood Qi, the aura of a top-level predatory beast frivolously spread among the crowd.

Many people could not help but tremble involuntarily.

This was a crushing dominance of life itself that did not concern courage.

“People below, listen up, it’s the same old rule.

Hand over a third of your harvest to feed my Golden Eagle,” a capricious, charming voice sounded in everyone’s ears.

Upon looking up, a Blue-eyed Golden Eagle was high in the sky.

With wings stretching over twenty feet and an intimidating presence of golden crown and blue eyes, a girl with a petite figure stood atop this Golden Eagle.

The twinkle of cunning in her eyes and her enchanting red dress, combined with her arrogant words, painted an unapologetically unrestrained picture.

From the whispers of those around him, Xiao Chen learned the origin of this capricious girl.

This capricious girl was Princess Ying Lin’er of the Shadow Forest Tribe, one of the four tribes controlling Duanmu City.

She was born with a unique constitution that allowed her to communicate with beasts.

The two-star Blue-eyed Golden Eagle at her feet was a companion beast captured personally by the tribal chief of the Shadow Forest Tribe.

As the princess of the Shadow Forest Tribe, she was showered with affection.

Combined with the backing of the Shadow Forest Tribe, this capricious witch dared to brazenly rob people within Duanmu City.

Having a powerful tribe as backing plus not robbing people every day, and cleverly only taking a third of the loot each time, this lead to people turning a blind eye to her antics for many years.

A common saying goes, ‘One can’t twist an arm in mid-air,’ thankfully it was only a third of their haul.

Like in the past, members of the human tribe pinched their noses and accepted their bad luck, taking out treasure medicines and flesh from their bamboo baskets to pile together.

As for whether anyone resisted, there were indeed at the beginning, but after an arrogant wanderer scared the young girl Ying Lin’er to tears, no one dared to resist after that.

That wanderer never set foot in Duanmu City again, because after the little girl was scared to tears, before the wanderer even had time to celebrate his victory, eight bulky men suddenly appeared in front of him.

These were the eight older brothers of Ying Lin’er, known as the Shadow Forest Eight Heroes.

When their little sister was bullied, they couldn’t just let it go.

They pursued and killed the wanderer for seven days and seven nights, driving him two thousand miles deep into the Great Wasteland.

The brutal treatment of well-to-do families was indeed intolerable!

Soon, the open area was full of piles of blood-soaked treasure medicines and exotic fruits, forming a small mountain.

Seeing so much food, the Blue-eyed Golden Eagle in the sky gleamed with anticipation.

Every time they went out to rob, it was their time to feast.

At this moment, Xiao Chen realized that everyone’s gaze was focused on him.

Looking around, he noticed that everyone had already handed over a third of their medicine and blood while he was left empty-handed.

No, he still had the Dark Blood War Spear in his hand.

“Hey, dork, it’s just you left.

What are you going to offer me?” Not only the others, but even the witch standing on the giant eagle noticed Xiao Chen standing in a daze and treating himself like a bystander.

She couldn’t help but shout out.
