Chapter 1208: Never Returned

Among the giants, a slightly older one, after a brief thought, shouted toward Ye Liuyun's direction, "Are you a little person from Zhongyang Dalu?"

Ye Liuyun was startled by the words; these giants actually knew Zhongyang Dalu.

"Yes! How did you know I'm from Zhongyang Dalu?" Ye Liuyun asked.

At that moment, Ye Liuyun, with the tiger, had already entered the hunters' ambush circle.

Ye Liuyun stopped and waved at those giants.

The older giant, after seeing him, asked Ye Liuyun, "Did you tame this big tiger? Are you sure it won't bite anyone?"

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun directly placed a Slave Seal on the tiger's Soul and then stored it in his own Space World.

To these giants, they were no longer a threat. So they stopped being afraid, appeared one after another, and surrounded Ye Liuyun and his companions.

Most giants were very curious about Ye Liuyun and his group.

Only the older giant said to Ye Liuyun, "You really are from Zhongyang Dalu. Not only your size matches, but your abilities too—you can store things away!"

Ye Liuyun guessed he was referring to the act of storing the tiger in the Space World.

"Have you seen other humans from Zhongyang Dalu before?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

"Yes! The Village Chief said six have come to our village over time. I've only seen two. They said they went to hunt the Evil Dragon and never returned. They used to come one by one, and now you three arrived at once!" the giant explained to Ye Liuyun.

"It seems not everyone who comes in has visited their village," Ye Liuyun thought to himself.

The giant then introduced himself, "I'm Tai Yong. What should I call you? Come be a guest in our village. Everyone here is very hospitable!"

That giant was indeed very warm. The other giants also echoed, welcoming Ye Liuyun to be a guest.

"I'm Ye Liuyun. Then I'll be a bother to you!" Ye Liuyun said politely.

"No bother! We'll provide you food, and you can help guide us in making tools!" Tai Yong gestured to the bow and arrows in his hand.

"Alright, no problem!" Ye Liuyun readily agreed.

Tai Yong and his group immediately stopped hunting and led Ye Liuyun and the others back to the village.

As these giants walked back, only Ye Liuyun's party could keep up by flying through the air.

The other giants had never seen humans of this size before, and they could even fly, so they were extremely curious, staring and commenting nonstop along the way.

Ye Liuyun and his companions were toured by the giants all the way.

The giants' village consisted of huge stone houses, with yards surrounded by wooden fences—very crude.

After entering the village, Ye Liuyun's group dared not land, fearing the surrounding giants might accidentally step on them to death!

In the end, Tai Yong kindly cradled Ye Liuyun and the others in his palm, and only then were they safe.

Tai Yong led Ye Liuyun and the others straight to the Village Chief's residence. According to him, the Village Chief had received six humans like him before.

The Village Chief, upon seeing Ye Liuyun and the others, also welcomed them warmly.

Only his age was already great, making even standing up rather laborious.

What surprised Ye Liuyun was that this Village Chief actually possessed a cultivation realm.

Though he had only cultivated to the True Essence Realm, he had certainly practiced cultivation.

The Village Chief also sensed Ye Liuyun observing him, and proactively asked, "You're looking at my realm, right?"

"I'm not trying to pry into your privacy, just curious!" Ye Liuyun said shyly.

"What privacy is that! Everyone in the village knows; it was taught to us by the little person who came before. However, most of us here lack the patience, so no one cultivates."

"But it's improving now. Many children have already started cultivating. After cultivation, lifespan becomes much longer than before, and strength also increases a bit."

The Village Chief explained this to Ye Liuyun.

Only then did Ye Liuyun understand, and he immediately asked the Village Chief about the earlier Martial Cultivators who had come.

"You people are friendly, polite, and taught us many things. But you all said you'd go destroy the Evil Dragon and never returned!" the Village Chief told Ye Liuyun.

He also took out a stone tablet for Ye Liuyun to see, engraved with the image of the Evil Dragon.

"You still don't know what the Evil Dragon looks like, huh? See, it's exactly the picture up there!"

Ye Liuyun glanced at it; the Evil Dragon's Dragon Head was no different from a normal true dragon, except it bore a pair of huge wings, its limbs were longer, resembling arms and legs, and its body was much shorter than a true dragon's.

In the drawing, the Evil Dragon was spewing something from its mouth, and a circle was drawn on its chest and abdomen.

"The Evil Dragon spits fire and poisonous smoke. The circle on its chest and abdomen is the Evil Dragon's Yuan Dan, which is what you're looking for!" the Village Chief added.

"Does this Evil Dragon really exist? Have you seen it? Where is it now?" Ye Liuyun asked the Village Chief.

"Of course! Everyone in the village has seen it! It often comes out to hunt. Sometimes it grabs large beasts, sometimes it even catches our villagers!" the Village Chief affirmed.

"Does this Evil Dragon have a cultivation realm?" Ye Liuyun pressed.

"We can't tell that. All we know is the Evil Dragon's size is enormous. One paw can snatch a person! Compared to your size, you're definitely not even a finger's breadth of it!"

After speaking, the Village Chief sighed, "We don't dare even think of hunting that giant dragon. You're too small; against that Evil Dragon you're at an even greater disadvantage! Even with a realm, your attack power is limited!"

Ye Liuyun also thought that if the Village Chief's words were true, they were indeed at a disadvantage.

"Those who were like me, after going, never returned? Did they die, or …?" Ye Liuyun continued to inquire about the others.

The Village Chief shook his head and said to Ye Liuyun, "We dare not go near the Evil Dragon at all! So whether they're alive or dead, we don't know. I only know none of them ever returned!"

"Where is that Evil Dragon?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"After you leave, the highest mountain peak you see is where the Evil Dragon often roams. But it's not only the Evil Dragon there; there are also hordes of ferocious beasts!" the Village Chief told Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun activated his Golden Pupil, looked outward, and indeed in the distance saw the highest peak, its summit hidden in clouds. From so far away, the mountain's details were unclear.

"Do you have any way to deal with that Evil Dragon?" the Village Chief retorted to Ye Liuyun.
