Chapter 30

Wang Yanfeng coughed and said, "It's still okay. I feel very hopeful about passing the upcoming assessment."

"Oh? The awakening effect is that good?" Gui Gui's eyes lit up. "No wonder you brought him along. But you must keep an eye on him. Those monsters have never been friendly to us. Don't let him cause any trouble."

"Don't worry. Tang San is quite steady," Wang Yanfeng said with a smile. In his eyes, he no longer treated Tang San as a child. In their usual interactions, Tang San's words and emotions had a mature and composed feel, as if he were the oldest among the five of them.

Gui Gui became even more puzzled. "It seems you have a lot of confidence in this child! After completing the mission this time, do you plan to tour the city?"

Wang Yanfeng nodded and said, "This time, I brought him to broaden his horizons."

Gui Gui said, "That's good. Jialicheng has been very peaceful recently, with no conflicts. You came at a good time."

Tang San couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Gui, are there still conflicts in the city?"

Gui Gui said, "Of course. Many monster tribes don't get along with each other. Especially those with similar strength, they often fight over rankings. Different rankings mean different resources. For example, our Wind Wolf tribe and the Flash Leopard tribe are enemies. We often fight. And most of the time, we are at a disadvantage. So, don't easily reveal your Wind Wolf transformation, because you might encounter a monster tribe that is hostile to our lineage at any time. They won't show mercy to us, their vassals. And if a vassal dies, the Wind Wolf tribe won't even blink. Not easily revealing your demon transformation has become a survival strategy for us human vassals. Understand?"

Flash Leopard tribe? Leopard Flash?

Tang San was immediately intrigued. "Aunt Gui, is the Flash Leopard tribe also in Jialicheng?"

"Yep. Their ancestral home is here. As one of the seven main cities, Jialicheng has the ancestral homes of seven major tribes. The ancestral home is the core of the tribe. The Wind Wolf tribe and the Flash Leopard tribe are among them. Although they are just branches of wolf and leopard monsters, they still have a place in the city. The ancestral homes of the major tribes are all in Shengling City. But only the top ten major tribes have the right to place their ancestral homes in the core area of Shengling City. The ancestral homes of other major tribes can only be in the outer areas."

Tang San firmly remembered what Gui Gui said. Gui Gui, who lived in Jialicheng, seemed to know more than Wang Yanfeng.

"Aunt Gui, have you been to Shengling City?" Tang San asked curiously.

Gui Gui shook her head. "No, I've only heard about it. It's not a place for ordinary vassals. There, the most powerful beings of the monster and spirit races gather. A single powerful monster's sneeze could kill us. It's said to be a vast city that stretches as far as the eye can see."

After dinner, Wang Yanfeng and Tang San went to bed early.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed to cultivate, Tang San could clearly feel that the speed of absorbing the elemental energy here was faster. The elemental energy in Jialicheng was very rich. Moreover, Tang San noticed that the concentration of elemental energy varied in different parts of the city. The place they were staying was relatively thin.

The night passed without incident. The next morning, after breakfast, Wang Yanfeng and Tang San left the small inn and headed for the ancestral home of the Wind Wolf tribe.

The ancestral home of the Wind Wolf tribe was located in a more central area of Jialicheng. This basin city was quite large, and they couldn't run on the streets. It took them over two hours to walk. From a distance, Tang San could see the location of the Wind Wolf tribe's ancestral home.

He could identify it at first glance because there was a huge green wolf head emblem on the high wall.

The diameter of the wolf head was over three meters, extremely prominent on the top of the tall gate, emitting a faint bluish-gray light that made the wind elements in the surrounding air noticeably richer. Even a faint current of air was rippling outward, repelling all beings that approached the gate.

It was actually a single piece of Wind Spirit Stone, three meters in diameter. How heavy must it be!

From the outside, the walls of the Wind Wolf tribe's ancestral home extended for at least a hundred meters on either side. The ten-meter-high walls completely obscured everything inside, making it impossible to see from the outside.

As they approached the wall, an invisible pressure seemed to appear, making it hard to breathe.

Wang Yanfeng led Tang San along the wall. When they approached the main gate, several wolf monsters, apparently around the fourth rank, blocked their way.

There were four wolf monsters guarding the gate, all over two meters tall, clearly fourth-rank beings.

Wang Yanfeng immediately released his Wind Wolf transformation, his body swelling, his eyes glowing with a bluish-green light, showing his identity as a vassal of the Wind Wolf tribe.

"What are you here for?" one of the Wind Wolf tribe's wolf monsters said coldly.

Wang Yanfeng hurriedly replied, "We come from Gale Town. We are here to deliver this year's tribute list to the clan leader. Please inform him."

Upon hearing that he was delivering the tribute list, the Wind Wolf tribe's wolf monster's expression softened slightly. "Come in with me." He led the way inside.

Wang Yanfeng quickly followed.

Just as Tang San was about to follow, a large hand of a wolf monster blocked his way. "This kid can't come in. What's a little brat doing here? Looking for trouble? Wait outside."

Tang San was taken aback and looked at Wang Yanfeng. Wang Yanfeng hadn't expected this either. It was clearly because Tang San was too young, and these wolf monsters didn't take him seriously.

Wang Yanfeng quickly said, "Tang San, wait for me outside. Go over there."

In front of the Wind Wolf tribe's ancestral home was a relatively open area, like a small square. In the center of the square was a huge ancient tree, at least ten people would need to join hands to encircle it, and its massive canopy provided a large area of shade.

This area was the core of Jialicheng, and Wang Yanfeng had already told Tang San that the ancestral homes of several major tribes were in this area.

Wang Yanfeng gave Tang San a meaningful look, indicating that he should wait by the tree and not wander around in front of the wolf monsters, to avoid being questioned or annoyed by them.

Tang San obediently agreed and turned to walk away.

The wolf monsters clearly didn't take him seriously and led Wang Yanfeng into the ancestral home.

Tang San felt a bit bored. He had originally wanted to go inside the Wind Wolf tribe's ancestral home to feel the energy levels of the high-ranking wolf monsters and observe the terrain, preparing for a possible future theft of the Wind Wolf bloodline. But he didn't even get inside the gate.

He walked to the tree, where the vast canopy covered a wide area, and the air became fresher.

In this core area of Jialicheng, even monster tribes rarely passed by, and there were other large residences in the distance. To avoid drawing more attention from the gate guards, Tang San walked around to the other side of the tree and found a place to sit and wait for Wang Yanfeng.

As he came to the other side of the tree and just sat down, he saw a small shop on the roadside in the distance.

There's a shop here?

The shop looked like it had a front and back section, with the front being a storefront and the back seemingly a living area.

A sign hung above the storefront, which read: "Meigongzi Milk Tea Shop."

Meigongzi is about to make her appearance!
