Chapter 742

They had been searching for a long time; even though they had brought ample Moon God energy on this outing, after searching for so long, the Moon God's protective energy was nearly exhausted, and they still had not found it.

Unless something unexpected happened, their Cartel Tribe was perhaps the only remaining tribe on this continent.

This left the young clan leader deeply disheartened.

What did a remaining, unpolluted tribe represent?

It meant their tribe would have no support whatsoever.

Nor any reliance.

They could only huddle in the tribe and wait to die!

Facing this foul air, the tribe had no means to deal with it.

"Oh? Then how did you avoid being polluted?"

"Of course, if you do not wish to answer, then forget it."

"I am merely curious: what exactly is it that allows one to escape the black air... ah, that is, the foul air you speak of, on this continent?"

A hint of contemplation flashed in the young clan leader's eyes.

Finally, she spoke:

"Forgive me, senior; this concerns the tribe's secrets, so please excuse me for being unable to tell you."

After all, she and the other party had only just met.

The young clan leader had not gained Jiang Yan's trust.

Likewise, Jiang Yan had not gained the young clan leader's trust.

A bridge of trust had not yet been built between the two.

Therefore, the young clan leader's refusal was within Jiang Yan's expectations.

"Then, since that is the case, forgive me for speaking out of turn."

Jiang Yan was not angry; he simply spoke with a smile.

"Then what are your plans next? Return to the tribe?"

"Yes, we are now preparing to return to the tribe; the people of the tribe are still waiting for us."

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, the young clan leader nodded and answered Jiang Yan's question.

"Senior, what are your plans next?"

As the young clan leader spoke, she was also making her own small calculations.

She had indeed considered recruiting the other party.

If such a top-tier powerhouse joined her tribe, then her tribe would not need to worry about being harassed by those already-polluted humans and Demon Gods.

But how could such a small scheme hide from Jiang Yan, a person who had lived for several thousand years?

Basically, the moment she spoke those words, Jiang Yan already knew the purpose behind her actions.

In response, the corner of Jiang Yan's mouth curled slightly upward.

He happened to want to know exactly what method the other party used to avoid the pollution of the black air!

He could remain unpolluted because he possessed the Infinity Stones, the Dual Star State, and the protection of Vector Manipulation.

With multiple protections, even if Jiang Yan stood here motionless, this black air could not pollute his body.

But the other party was different; Jiang Yan felt this matter was not simple.

Setting aside everything else, even when Jiang Yan activated Cosmic Perception, he had not been able to perceive the unpolluted tribe the other party mentioned at that time.

When he activated his perception to survey the entire continent at that time, Jiang Yan had seriously scanned the whole area.

He remembered very clearly.

This continent in the Dark Outer Sea was completely shrouded by the black air.

There was simply no so-called unpolluted place.

If there were, Jiang Yan would have discovered it long ago, and there would be no need to ask others.

"Plans... none for the moment."

Jiang Yan's tone carried a hint of casualness.

"I am a traveler; originally, I came to this continent by accident."

"But the moment I stepped onto this land, I was ambushed."

Afterwards, Jiang Yan explained to the young clan leader exactly how he had come to this continent and the encounters he had suffered upon it.

Of course, Jiang Yan was not foolish enough to reveal his true information.

All of this, told to the young clan leader, was merely something Jiang Yan had made up himself.

"So you are a traveler!"

"I truly did not expect that there are other continents beyond this continent!"

The Cartel young clan leader said with some awe.

She did not doubt the correctness of this matter.

In her eyes, the other party had absolutely no need to lie to her.

Furthermore, on this continent, if there really were a powerhouse like Jiang Yan.

This continent would not have become a paradise for those giants, nor would it have been harassed by the foul air.

Therefore, regarding Jiang Yan's claim that he came from another continent, the young clan leader believed it without a shred of doubt.

"Um, if senior has no plans yet, why not come with us to the tribe to rest for a while?"

"Although our tribe does not have many supplies, we can still manage to offer hospitality."

The young clan leader extended an invitation to Jiang Yan.

And this was precisely what Jiang Yan wanted to see.

To understand this continent, one still needs to seek out the native humans to learn.

Only in this way can Jiang Yan know.

What exactly caused this continent to be eroded by the black qi, and where was the first place to be eroded.

In that case, by tracing the first erosion, or rather, where the black qi first appeared.

If nothing unexpected happens, that place should be the source of the black qi.
