Chapter 2907: I heard you cook really well?

From the Old Ancestor's mouth, they learned that the tree king of this Black Mist Forest seemed to have a mysterious background, as if there were some intricate connection between it and the Old Ancestor.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jie couldn't help but feel curious; he lowered his voice and whispered softly to Ye Zhangqing beside him.

"Junior brother, look at this tree pet; its background is probably not trivial."

Ye Zhangqing, upon hearing this, also felt deeply surprised, and began to ponder silently.

Indeed, even he himself had not expected that this seemingly ordinary tree pet would have such an astonishing origin.

Not only were the two of them shocked, but at this very moment, even the Iron Peak Clan Chief and others from the Barbarian God Tribe showed a complex expression that was hard to describe.

It turned out that this Black Mist Forest, long regarded as a forbidden land of the Barbarian God Tribe, had its tree king actually originating from the Old Ancestors.

Then does this mean that the entire Black Mist Forest was actually created by the Old Ancestors?

This discovery was truly shocking, making it hard to believe.

After all, for all these years, they had been completely unaware of the true origin of the Black Mist Forest.

Just as everyone was secretly shocked, the old man finally finished scolding the old tree and the water monster, and then directed his sharp, stern gaze at everyone present.

Undoubtedly, the one standing at the front, bearing the greatest pressure from this gaze, was the Iron Peak Clan Chief.

Faced with such a powerful presence, the Iron Peak Clan Chief couldn't help feeling nervous, but he still strove to remain calm and saluted the old man.

"Greetings, Old Ancestor."

At that moment, the old man called the Old Ancestor gave a slight smile and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Oh? So it's you, why did you suddenly come running over, with two Feather God Tribe fellows behind you… Could it be that you came this time to achieve some great deed?"

While speaking, the Old Ancestor casually glanced at the two Feather God Tribe elders following behind the Iron Peak Clan Chief.

Yet this seemingly ordinary action was like a thunderclap exploding in the air, causing the two Feather God Tribe elders to instantly feel an indescribable chill rising from their spines.

They felt as if they were being stared down by an extremely ferocious beast, their whole bodies went cold, and even breathing became difficult.

That feeling was as terrifying as falling into a bottomless abyss, making one shudder involuntarily.

Despite that, they still dared not slacken in the slightest, desperately suppressing their inner fear, keeping their heads down and silent.

Fortunately, the Old Ancestor seemed not to pay too much attention to those two Feather God Tribe elders, merely glancing over them quickly before shifting his gaze away.

Seeing this, the Iron Peak Clan Chief secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied.

"Reporting to the Old Ancestor, these two Feather God Tribe elders have now submitted to our Barbarian God Tribe and Human Race, and today I have specially brought them here to pay respects to you, sir."

"Huh? Surrender? That's indeed a rare occurrence."

Upon hearing this, the Old Ancestor's mouth corners curled slightly, revealing a faint smile.

After all, the feud between the Barbarian God Tribe and the Feather God Tribe has long existed, with deep-seated grudges on both sides, each viewing the other as enemies.

Before this, there had never been any report of either side voluntarily choosing to surrender.

Throughout those long years beforehand, whether mighty like the Feather God Tribe or brave like the Barbarian God Tribe, they all upheld the belief and dignity of rather die than yield, never to surrender.

However, when the topic turned to the Human Race, this venerable Old Ancestor instead directed his gaze toward Ye Zhangqing and Xu Jie, who stood behind the Iron Peak Clan Chief.

As for the various deeds of the Human Race, they, as the older generation, had more or less heard of them.

It is said that not long ago, the Human Race had once entered the Shenjie territory of the Barbarian God Tribe and established friendly relations with some of its members.

Although those humans later departed, the Iron Peak Clan Chief and others seemed to have reached some kind of alliance agreement with the Human Race.

But such trivial matters were insignificant to them; unless it concerned life-and-death issues, the five Old Ancestors usually rarely interfered in internal tribal affairs.

However, at this moment, a strange rumor aroused the Old Ancestor's keen interest, so his gaze eventually settled on Ye Zhangqing, his mouth corners curling slightly as he revealed a sly smile.

"Little fellow, I've heard your culinary skill is superb, your cooking technique can be called unparalleled."

As soon as the words fell, Ye Zhangqing couldn't help but be stunned—how could this Old Ancestor, whom he had never met, know about this?

Seeing Ye Zhangqing's mind full of doubts, the venerable Old Ancestor gave a slight smile and spoke in a kindly tone to explain.

"Young man, there's no need to be so surprised. You should know that in our Barbarian God Tribe, it's rare to fool the eyes of a few old-timers like us, and besides, your superb culinary skill is hardly a great secret."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing's originally tense nerves relaxed a little, but he still responded humbly.

"Oh, oh, I'm just a junior who knows a little, has some modest insights; it's really not worthy of being called a lofty skill fit for the hall of elegance."

The Old Ancestor burst into loud laughter upon hearing that, speaking with great enthusiasm.

"Oh? Your modesty only arouses my curiosity more; since that's the case, since you've come, you might as well let us old-timers also sample your cooking."

Faced with the Old Ancestor's warm invitation, Ye Zhangqing naturally could not refuse, and promptly bowed and replied.

"Having received the senior's favor, I, the junior, dare not disobey."

After receiving the affirmative reply, the Old Ancestor nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand, signaling everyone to follow him into the Barbarian God Tribe's Divine Mountain.

At the same time, he deliberately stopped the water monster and the old tree that wanted to continue entangling, then personally led the group slowly toward where the Barbarian God Tribe resided.

At the same time, that mysterious old tree, as if possessing spirituality, quickly transformed into a dazzling beam of light, and in the blink of an eye it burrowed back into Ye Zhangqing's palm and vanished.

Watching the old tree disappear into Ye Zhangqing's body, the old man walking at the front had a faint smile hinting at the corners of his mouth.

This human kid sure is lucky, having subdued this little sapling.

However, looking at this Old Ancestor's demeanor, he seemed not dissatisfied either, and moreover did not intend to intervene to stop the old tree from acknowledging Ye Zhangqing as its master.

Since acknowledging a master was the old tree's own decision, the Old Ancestor naturally would not interfere.

It was a mutual consent matter; moreover, that old tree had left the Divine Mountain for many years, never once returning in between, and all those resources before were simply wasted on it.

With the Old Ancestor's guidance, everyone afterward proceeded smoothly, encountering no other dangers, and safely arrived at the Barbarian God Tribe's Divine Mountain.
