Chapter 738
Upon hearing the youth's words, the Young Clan Leader's expression changed, and she hurriedly asked in an urgent voice.
"No traces of those monsters have been found, Young Clan Leader."
The youth also replied hurriedly.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness. The situation is not as terrible as imagined."
The Young Clan Leader immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The burly man standing nearby spoke up:
"Young Clan Leader, do we need to change our route?"
The burly man's words were not without reason; judging by the current state of their group, it would be best for them to avoid engaging with those corrupted humans.
"Change the route. Go find Aqing and have her plan a new route."
The Young Clan Leader weighed the matter for a long while, but the best course of action was indeed to change the route.
She was the Young Clan Leader; she could not gamble with her clanspeople.
Although this path was the shortest way back to the tribe, if they came into direct contact with those humans, they would have no other choice but death.
"Yes!"
After speaking respectfully, the burly man turned and walked toward the crowd of his own people.
Jiang Yan stood silently in the high sky.
He had naturally heard every word of their conversation.
But the Young Clan Leader's intentions were good.
She was indeed thinking of her clanspeople.
However, what Jiang Yan saw from the high sky was not the case.
For far away from this group, those corrupted humans were not merely gathered in a small area.
They were a vast expanse, stretching continuously to an extremely distant location.
One could say they had blocked all possible exits for this group.
Unless this group was willing to spend more time taking a much longer detour.
In that case, the energy within their bodies should not be able to hold out.
Sure enough, after the burly man entered the crowd and found a girl about the same age as the leading young woman, the two said something unknown, and suddenly their faces both turned deathly pale almost simultaneously.
Jiang Yan knew this meant they had already discovered the problem.
"Hmm... should I help them get through this predicament?"
Jiang Yan rubbed his chin and began to ponder.
If he went to help, perhaps he could use this incident to infiltrate their ranks, thereby learning about this continent and discovering what method this group used to solve this problem.
A good plan.
Thinking thus, Jiang Yan's figure vanished from the air.
"What?! You mean the path ahead is completely blocked?!"
When the burly man brought this news to the Young Clan Leader, she exclaimed in surprise, though not unexpectedly.
"Yes."
The burly man's expression also became somewhat grim.
"Do not panic yet. Let me think..."
The young woman was now somewhat dazed.
If this were truly the case, then their trouble would be immense.
If they continued to choose avoidance, they would have to take a much longer detour; by then, the energy remaining in their bodies would not be enough to sustain such consumption.
But if they forced their way through that area, under current conditions, surviving amidst such a tide of people would not be an easy matter.
More likely than not, they would all meet their end here.
"Abu, go fetch Aqing."
The Young Clan Leader ordered the burly man.
"Yes!"
The burly man named Abu nodded, turned, and went again to find the young woman named Aqing.
"Young Clan Leader."
Not long after, the young woman named Aqing walked over, led by Abu.
"Aqing, is there truly no other path we can take?"
"By the Moon Goddess, Young Clan Leader, according to my surveying methods, there is indeed no other route."
"If we insist on bypassing this tide of people, the Moon Goddess's protection will not last that long; we will eventually be contaminated by the filth."
Hearing Aqing's words, the Young Clan Leader painfully closed her eyes.
After a long while, the Young Clan Leader spoke:
"Tell the clanspeople about this... We are about to cross the tide of people. Those who wish to come along, follow."
"We must..."
"Young Clan Leader, look quickly!"
Just as the Young Clan Leader was still speaking, Aqing's cry of alarm came through.
Not far from them, a white-haired youth wearing a cyan-gold robe was walking calmly toward the direction of the tide of people.
"That is..."
The Young Clan Leader narrowed her eyes; this unfamiliar face and countenance, she had never seen on this continent.
No, one could say that on this continent, apart from the elderly, no one would have white hair.
"He walked straight toward that crowd of corrupted people."
Aqing said.
"I know; we will follow behind."
"There must be a way for them to pass through."
Although the Young Clan Leader did not know who this suddenly appeared person was, she could be certain that the other party was absolutely not a corrupted human.
The aura on his body did not trigger the rejection of the Moon God's blessing within his body!
