Seeing that Han Li was in a daze, the silver-horned rhinoceros moved a little.
Han Li's eyes narrowed. He lifted his foot and stomped on the ground. Like a mountain, the silver-horned rhinoceros sank a little deeper into the ground.
"I said I won't kill you, but you should value your life …" Han Li said.
The silver-horned rhinoceros trembled and did not dare to move anymore.
"What is the species of the cub with the bloodline of the Ancient True Spirit King? What powers does it have?" Han Li asked.
"I don't know." The silver-horned rhinoceros said without hesitation.
"It's indeed more convenient to search its soul." Han Li frowned and said angrily.
"I really don't know.
The cub is in a state of deep sleep. It's as if it's petrified. There's no aura coming from it at all. I can't tell its species at all. "The silver-horned rhinoceros explained.
"Hmph, if that's the case, how do you know it has the bloodline of the Ancient True Spirit King?" Han Li snorted.
"The bloodline of the Ancient True Spirit Eight Monarchs is different from the other races of the Barbarian Wilderness. It naturally suppresses the other races of the Barbarian Wilderness. It's like a pack of wolves seeing their king.
You're not one of us, so of course you don't know, "the silver-horned rhinoceros said.
Han Li was actually aware of this. For example, the power of the heavenly phoenix within his body naturally allowed him to suppress many bird-type demon beasts.
"Take me to the cub," Han Li said.
Since it possessed the King of True Spirit Bloodline, its bloodline power was definitely not weak. Currently, he was still lacking two more King of True Spirit Bloodlines for the Twelve Awakening Transformations. If he could obtain some powerful bloodline power from this cub, he would be able to further refine his Heavenly Fiend Hell Suppression Art. With that, he would be more confident when he headed to the Great Goldsource Immortal Domain.
"You just said that you'll let us go after questioning us. Now you're going back on your words. Humans really can't be trusted." The silver-horned rhinoceros was enraged.
"Who told you that I'm a human?" Han Li asked.
"You're not a human?
This is impossible … "The silver-horned giant rhinoceros shook its huge head and said.
Han Li narrowed his eyes and activated the true spirit bloodline in his body. Silver light flashed around him and strands of silver lightning surged out, forming a huge silver lightning roc.
At the same time, with a thought, he withdrew all the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords into his body, revealing his huge body in front of all the Silver Horned Rhinoceros and Cloud Pattern Tiger Tribe members.
Han Li knew that if he used his identity as a human, he would definitely not be able to make them bring him to see the cub. He also didn't want to really kill all the people of these two tribes, so he could only come up with this plan.
Sensing the true spirit aura emanating from Han Li's body, all of the beings from the two tribes were stunned.
"You, you … how is this possible?" the silver-horned rhinoceros said in disbelief.
"My True Spirit Bloodline can't be faked, right?
I have no ill intentions towards the cub you speak of. You said that he is in a state of deep sleep. Perhaps I can be of some help, "Lei Peng said, his voice like a great bell.
As he spoke, he spread his wings and flew into the sky. As he flapped his wings, there was a gust of wind that whistled.
"I'll bring you to see him."
Without Han Li's suppression, the silver-horned rhinoceros stood up from the ground and looked up into the sky. After thinking for a long time, he spoke.
After waking up the leader of the Cloud Pattern Tiger Tribe, Han Li found out that the leader of the silver-horned rhinoceros tribe was called Sang Tu, and the leader of the Cloud Pattern Tiger Tribe was called Cloud Leopard.
Just like that, a life and death battle was stopped by Han Li, an outsider who had suddenly appeared.
After that, the people of the two tribes treated their injured and returned to their tribes, leaving only seven or eight people to follow Sang Tu, Han Li, and the others to where the cub was hiding.
The group passed through the plains where they had fought and came to a short hill. Under Sang Tu's guidance, they found the entrance to a cave that was half hidden underground.
As they got closer, a wave of heat surged from the cave entrance, accompanied by a strong smell of sulfur.
"It's inside?" Han Li frowned and asked.
As he spoke, he had already expanded his divine sense and scanned the inside of the cave. In the end, he did not find any special aura.
"There's a magma lake below this cave. Our tribe members usually go to the cave to collect black rocks to make battle axes. Originally, we wouldn't go to the deepest part of the cave. It was only discovered when some of our tribe members accidentally fell in," Sang Tu said.
"Lead the way." Han Li frowned slightly and said.
Sang Tu nodded. He walked down the stone steps at the entrance of the cave and entered the cave.
At this moment, his appearance did not change much after being released from his battle state. However, his body was no longer as huge and shocking. He was only about three meters tall, but he looked a little more muscular than an ordinary person.
In reality, it was not only the silver-horned rhinoceros that had different body shapes than usual. The Cloud Pattern Tiger Tribe was the same. At this moment, they all walked upright, and the stripes on their heads had faded a lot. They did not look so wild anymore.
Han Li closely followed behind him and led the others into the cave one after another.
After entering, Han Li found that the hidden entrance of the cave was actually very spacious. The walls on the left and right, as well as the top of the head, were covered with chisel marks. It was already very smooth.
The cave slope extended all the way downwards, stretching for thousands of meters.
When the group finally reached the end of the slope, they saw that the path in front of them was gradually narrowing, and a round cave entrance of about seven or eight meters in size appeared.
Behind the cave entrance was an empty area. The inside was illuminated by the fire, and there was a pungent smell and scorching heat wave that surged out continuously.
"The tribe members fell in here and found the baby beast in the magma lake," Sang Tu said.
"Let's go in and take a look." Han Li nodded and said.
Sang Tu did not hesitate. His figure flashed and he flew into the cave.
Han Li followed closely behind him. After entering the cave, he was greeted by the sight of a huge underground lava lake.
The magma in the lake did not flow, and there were huge black boards floating on the surface. They seemed to be black rocks formed after the magma cooled. In the gaps between these boards, bright red marks could be seen. That was the magma that still maintained its liquid state below.
Han Li's gaze swept across the surface of the lake, and he quickly saw a black "Stone" floating in the middle of the lake. It looked like a black dog that had curled up into a ball. With a thought, he flew towards it.
When he came close, his gaze focused on the "Stone" below him. A strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
Sang Tu and the others looked over and could not help but lower their heads slightly. It was obvious that their bloodlines were naturally suppressed. This Stone that looked like a black dog was the baby beast he spoke of.
Han Li took a glance at them, then retracted his gaze back to the Stone. He gathered all his divine senses and carefully examined it for a long time. The doubt in his eyes grew stronger.
"Something's not right. The last time I came, the magma lake was still very active. There were not so many black rocks condensed, and there were even waves of fire rolling on the surface of the lake," Sang Tu came to Han Li's side and said in confusion.
"Was the baby beast this black previously?" Han Li pointed at the "Stone" below him and asked.
"Although it was black the last time I saw it, I remember it clearly. It was definitely not as thick as this," Sang Tu took a glance and said with certainty.
Han Li descended from the sky and gently stroked the "stone" with his hand, upon which he felt a cool sensation pass through his fingertips.
"This beast was attacked by the power of the law of ice and was severely injured. In order to save its life, it had to completely seal itself and hide in the magma lake. It absorbed the geothermal energy in the lake to help it resist its injuries," said Han Li.
"That's why the fire in the lake dropped so rapidly, resulting in this scene …" Sang Tu came to a sudden realization.
"Alright, since we've found him, let's bring him back first," said Han Li with a slight frown.
"No." At this moment, Cloud Leopard suddenly blocked in front of them and said.
Han Li raised his gaze and looked at him.
A trace of fear flashed in the latter's eyes, but he still said,
"Since he's healing here, if we rashly bring him away from here, won't we put him in danger?"
"Your worry is not without reason. But don't worry, I have a way to save him," said Han Li with a nod.
After saying that, he opened his palm and a ball of silver flame lit up in his palm. The scorching energy emitted from it was a hundred times stronger than that of the magma lake. Sang Tu and the rest felt that it was a little unbearable and could not help but move away from Han Li.
"Can you rest assured now?" asked Han Li.
"I'm overthinking …" Cloud Leopard said apologetically as he crossed his hand in front of his chest.
"Let's go. Bring him back to the Silver-horned Rhinoceros tribe first," said Han Li.
Sang Tu was overjoyed when he heard that, while the corner of Cloud Leopard's eyes twitched a few times. There was some worry in his eyes.
Han Li saw it but did not say anything. The enmity between the two tribes over a long period of time could not be resolved so easily, so he could understand Cloud Leopard's worry.
After about an hour, they left the magma cave and rushed towards the depths of the plain.
…
The Silver-horned Rhinoceros tribe was located at the bank of a large river on the left side of the plain. Numerous tent-like buildings built from rocks, animal skins, and wood were scattered on the right side of the river, and it was a rather magnificent sight when looked at from afar.
When Han Li and the others returned, all the clansmen of the Silver-horned Rhinoceros tribe, regardless of age or gender, walked out of their tents to welcome the return of their leader. When they felt the bloodline suppression from the 'Stone' carried by their clansmen, all of them couldn't help but lower their heads.
But when they saw Cloud Leopard and the others, their eyes went red and their killing intent surged.
If Sang Tu did not speak out to stop them, the scene would have gone slightly out of control.
However, they couldn't be blamed. After all, practically all of them had relatives and friends that had died at the hands of Cloud Leopard and the others.
Sang brought everyone to his own tent and asked a few clansmen to carry the black 'Stone' back and place it on his bed made of animal skin.
Han Li raised his hand and beckoned, and a small person made of silver flames appeared out of thin air in his palm.
As soon as it appeared, the temperature in the entire tent rose rapidly, and circle after circle of scorching waves of heat rippled out from its body, forcing Sang Tu and the others to retreat.
