Chapter 744

But if it could survive, how could it be so easily detected?

So this time, when this group went out, it could be said they gained nothing at all.

This was also thanks to Jiang Yan; otherwise, this group might have all been wiped out.

Swallowed by that surging tide of people.

Walking along the road back to the Kartel tribe, Jiang Yan said to Alita:

"Do you know when this black qi....... ah, that is, the filthy qi you speak of, appeared?"

"When did the filthy qi appear?"

A flicker of thought crossed Alita's eyes, but she ultimately shook her head.

"I don't know. Ever since I was born, the filthy qi has already spread across the entire continent."

"Once we reach our tribe, you can go ask my mother and the Priestess, my lord. Perhaps they'll know something."

"Your mother and the Priestess, my lord?"

Jiang Yan's brow furrowed.

"Yes, my mother is the chieftain of the Kartel tribe."

"And as for the Priestess, my lord, I can't say clearly where she came from. But from what my mother says, the Priestess, my lord, is of very advanced years — supposedly already over three hundred years old, and is the most Highly Respected person in our tribe."

When he heard Alita say that the Priestess, my lord, of their tribe was already over three hundred years old, Jiang Yan's eyes went wide.

Over three hundred years old???

Jiang Yan really had never heard of any human being able to live past three hundred years old.

It seemed this Priestess, my lord, also had her secrets.

But Jiang Yan could be certain that the other party was absolutely not human.

The upper limit of a human's lifespan was right there; even humans who possessed the Eye of God had a lifespan of at most around one hundred seventy or eighty years.

One hundred years was the great limit of a human's lifespan.

"It seems that if I want to know the source of the black fog, I must go to the Kartel tribe and ask that mysterious Kartel Priestess."

Jiang Yan gazed into the distance, a hint of thought in his eyes.

As time slowly passed.

Gradually, three days' time (abbh) passed just like that.

During this period, Jiang Yan and the people of the Kartel tribe encountered attacks of various sizes no fewer than twenty-some times.

That group of polluted humans and demon gods, upon seeing them, threw caution to the wind, madly pouncing to kill toward Jiang Yan and the others.

But they were simply Resolve with a Raise of the Hand by Jiang Yan, that was all.

After three days of getting along, the members of the Kartel tribe who had come out this time almost immediately accepted Jiang Yan.

Because this young man who looked very young possessed almost absolute power.

Every time an attack came, this young man named Jiang Xiaobai could Resolve with a Raise of the Hand.

His strength was so formidable that everyone was won over.

When they heard that Jiang Yan would be going into the Kartel tribe with them, the group became even more enthusiastic toward Jiang Yan.

With Jiang Yan's joining, their tribe would never again have to live in constant fear.

Another two days passed, and Alita led the group into a forest.

"Mr. Xiaobai, up ahead is our tribe."

Just before entering the forest, Alita said respectfully to Jiang Yan.

"Oh?"

Jiang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Even now, he still hadn't sensed anything related to the Kartel tribe Alita spoke of.

Before him was just an ordinary, unremarkable forest.

It didn't even look like there were any traces of people living here.

Moreover, black qi swirled thickly all around this area — it didn't feel like the unpolluted kind of place at all.

"Are you sure this is the place?"

Jiang Yan was somewhat worried that their tribe might have already been breached by the black qi before they left, so he spoke up to remind them.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiaobai. Our Kartel tribe is rather special; normally looking at it from here, you won't be able to tell anything."

Alita explained to Jiang Yan.

Then Alita stepped forward, and a pale white glow appeared in her hand.

Jiang Yan only felt a gust of decayed breath blow out from the depths of the forest, and immediately after, the forest before him began to tremble continuously.

Jiang Yan only felt as if some kind of spatial shift had occurred before him; within his perception, a village abruptly appeared in the deepest part of the forest.

What kind of trick was this?

Jiang Yan was now very puzzled.

Because by all common sense, there should be nothing in this world capable of blocking his perception.

But now it had truly appeared.

It seemed this village really did hold deep secrets.......
