CHAPTER TEXT:
"There’s one more chapter, probably in the later half of the night~~" These four individuals were likely drawn here by the loud commotion earlier. When they arrived nearby, upon seeing the Seventh-Level Demon Monster, they were shocked, unable to react immediately. It’s also possible that they were attracted by the battle, wanting to watch for a bit longer.
In any case, they were discovered by Ye Zhongming and the others.
In the Blue Secret Realm, even among posthumous children, there is little talk of friendliness between many tribes, especially now during the cold season. Even if it is the tail end of the cold season, it is still cold, and during this time, posthumous children magnify their unfriendliness many times over due to survival pressures.
When they finally came to their senses and realized that these individuals had completed a battle in such a short time, they felt as if they were waking from a dream. Turning around, they ran off, surprisingly fast.
Ye Zhongming was currently troubled about how to find the Afo Tribe. Seeing the four people who could speak, he shouted, "Wait for me here!" and chased after them.
Judging by their speed of escape, these four had abilities around four-star evolution, which was quite decent among posthumous children. However, Ye Zhongming's level was significantly higher than theirs, especially since he was wearing the Bloodstained Battle Boots and Earth Equipment, which greatly enhanced his speed. It wasn't long before he caught up to the four.
Realizing they couldn't escape, the four immediately turned around, drew out their Bone Blades, and charged at Ye Zhongming with surprising ferocity.
As a result... Ye Zhongming kicked each of them down with a single kick.
Those who grow up in harsh environments develop strong wills, and after being knocked down, a few of them still tried to get back up. However, when Ye Zhongming pointed his blade at one of them, they dared not move recklessly.
From their attire, it was clear that this person was the leader among the four, holding a high status in the tribe. Given his age, he seemed to be the offspring of a clan leader.
"I won't kill you, I just want to ask a few questions. But if your answers don't satisfy me, I won't mind getting rid of you," Ye Zhongming said.
His Secret Realm language was quite standard, and the few understood him. The other three focused their gazes on the young man being pointed at by Ye Zhongming.
"You won’t rob us of our things?"
The young man still looked at Ye Zhongming cautiously.
Ye Zhongming sheathed his blade and glanced at Xia Bai and Liang Chuyin, who had rushed over. He said dismissively, "Do you think you have anything worth us robbing?"
With that, the four noticed that both Ye Zhongming and the two women who had come over wore and wielded items that were obviously extraordinary. They finally understood that Ye Zhongming really looked down on their possessions. The vigilance and wariness in their eyes diminished, replaced by envy and desire.
Ye Zhongming was observing the four, and despite their envy, he noted that they showed no signs of greed, which left a good impression on him.
"Can we talk now?"
With strength backing him up, the conversation was quite friendly, and Ye Zhongming learned a lot of information.
First of all, he was quite lucky. This place was not the Night Demon Plain but the habitat of the posthumous children. This made Ye Zhongming completely relax. Although the territory of the posthumous children was large and if the Afo Tribe lay to the east while he was to the west, it could be a considerable distance, he recalled from his last time in the Secret Realm that the Afo Tribe was not in the very center of the posthumous children's territory, nor was it on the extreme edge. Regardless, they wouldn’t be in a situation where they were worlds apart.
Secondly, there was less than half a month left until the cold season passed, and the temperature had already risen a lot. The posthumous children had started to come out and engage in activities around their tribe. They were also contacting the Royal City. At least the tribe where these four individuals were from had not heard of any attacks on the Afo Tribe or the Cloud Apex Falling Alliance from the Royal City. This indicated that either the team that set off during the cold season had not yet found the Cloud Apex Falling Alliance, or they had begun their attacks without achieving any results, so the news was temporarily kept secret within the Royal City.
