Chapter 1350: Recruiting Yinglong

Xuanyuan used Limu as an example: "Compared to this Soldier of mine, who do you think is more powerful, Xingtian or him?"

Yinglong took another look at Limu: "Xingtian is stronger and taller; he is a very valiant Soldier, one that ordinary Soldiers cannot compare to."

Limu touched his own arm; he felt he was already strong enough, but he hadn't expected there to be someone even stronger than himself. Such a Soldier was not often seen.

"Then what about you? Have you ever fought Xingtian head-on? Do you think the you from before could have beaten Xingtian?"

The reason Xuanyuan had such a good attitude toward Yinglong, besides knowing about Xingtian and that he was a person who could provide useful information, was also his physique. Even though he was now emaciated, by looking at a person's body proportions and bone structure, one could tell what kind of aptitude such a person truly had.

In Xuanyuan's eyes, Yinglong was a very, very good Soldier. If he could be nursed back to health, his combat power might even be stronger than Limu's. Furthermore, there was his combat skill; a Soldier who could cross such a great distance alone and still arrive here alive would, at the very least, not be bad.

Xuanyuan firmly believed that talent was innate and could be encountered anywhere; it just depended on whether you could recognize it and bring that person to your side. Now that he saw such a promising Yinglong, he naturally had to treat him with courtesy first and then observe him. If he truly was a good talent, then it would be his own good fortune.

Regarding Xuanyuan's inquiry, Yinglong could only smile helplessly: "I couldn't beat him. At the time, Xingtian saw that our tribe no longer had much ability to resist, so he didn't even come to fight personally."

Yinglong's face was full of sorrow, and he revealed a look of recollection: "I still remember him brandishing a giant Dajian, commanding their Soldiers to attack us. Afterward, he personally hammered a giant war Drum to control the speed of the advance."

"I wanted to charge over and kill Xingtian, but there were too many people. We had no choice but to keep retreating. In the end, we were scattered. They wanted to capture us all alive, so we had to decide to leave and flee separately, no matter where we went, just to get away from there."

Xuanyuan bent his waist down: "Yinglong, do you want to kill Xingtian and take revenge for your tribe and your clansmen?"

A glimmer of light flashed in Yinglong's eyes, but it immediately dimmed again: "I certainly want to, but what can I do in my current state? Are you going to shackle me and put me in the front to block attacks?"

Yinglong tapped his own chest, producing a 'bang-bang' sound of bone: "I am already so emaciated that I'm afraid even walking to Changyang Mountain is a problem."

"I have finished telling you everything about Xingtian, and you know everything you wanted to know. Tribal Chief of the Xuanyuan Tribe, thank you for letting me eat a meal. Now, you can kill me."

Xuanyuan stepped forward directly and gently helped Yinglong up: "Soldier, why would I kill you? You are a brave Soldier; it is just that you fell into misfortune and became like this. I will give you food and a Weapon. After you have nursed your body back to health, there will be an opportunity to attack Xingtian and take revenge for your clansmen."

Yinglong looked at Xuanyuan in utter disbelief, his hand still gripping Xuanyuan's arm for support to steady himself: "Tribal Chief Xuanyuan, why would you do this? I am just a Slave. Besides, I am just someone who abandoned his tribe, lost his tribe, and fled here. I am not some brave Soldier; why do you believe in me so much?"

"Because you would rather die in the wilderness than fall into the hands of your enemies, and you do not fear death. Therefore, I believe you are a brave Soldier, not a fleeing Soldier."

"As for your body, I believe that as long as you are given enough time, you will certainly be able to return to how you were before and become a powerful Soldier once again. Now, are you willing to follow me? I can change your status as a Slave; a Soldier like you should not be a Slave."

At this moment, tears flowed uncontrollably from Yinglong's eyes, and he directly let go of Xuanyuan's arm and knelt to the ground: "Leader! Thank you for believing in Yinglong. From now on, Yinglong will follow the Leader and must defeat Xingtian! I am now a person of the Xuanyuan Tribe!"

Xuanyuan laughed heartily and then helped Yinglong up again: "Good, good, Yinglong, I hope that in the future, you can fight for the Xuanyuan Tribe!"

Subsequently, Xuanyuan used a Dajian to cut open the Grass ring on Yinglong's neck, which symbolized his status as a Slave. From this day forward, Yinglong was free again.

However, the current Yinglong was not yet fit for heavy use. After all, he was too emaciated; let alone fighting, even keeping up with the pace of their march would be difficult. Therefore, now was the time to let him rest and recover well, and only after his body became strong again would it be possible.

Limu and the others did not interfere with the Tribal Chief's actions; they believed that whatever the Tribal Chief did, he had his own ideas, and there certainly wouldn't be any problems.

After all, Xuanyuan had already found many people from the grassroots like this; perhaps this Yinglong was also a talent.

"Take him with you. Arrange a warm Tent for him and give him enough food. Let him eat as much as he wants, do you understand?"

Several Leaders nodded repeatedly. Now they were a bit relieved; fortunately, they hadn't killed Yinglong, and he was still alive. Otherwise, given the importance the Tribal Chief placed on Yinglong now, they would surely be finished. They just didn't know why the Tribal Chief would be so good to someone he had met for the first time; was there something special about him? They couldn't tell.

After having people take Yinglong away to rest and eat, Xuanyuan asked the few people beside him: "Do you think Yinglong will become a good helper of mine in the future?"

Fenghou nodded first: "I see this person, and he will certainly not be an ordinary person. After the Tribal Chief met him, your Qi became even more profound, which shows that this encounter is beneficial for both the Tribal Chief and him. This is the arrangement of Heaven and Nature; there is absolutely no problem."

Zhishou, who had followed along, also stroked his beard and nodded. If what the two of them said was too mysterious and lacked evidence, then Limu, as a Soldier, gave a more evidence-based statement.

"I see this Yinglong is tall, it's just that he can't stand straight right now. If he were to stand straight, he should be even taller than me."

"His legs are long, and his arms are long, which gives him more of an advantage when using a Weapon. Look at his bones, they are thick, which naturally means he is powerful. Especially his broad shoulders and broad back; if he puts on some muscle, he will definitely have a back like a tiger. He is definitely a Soldier you could only find one of in ten thousand. I think the Tribal Chief's choice this time is very accurate."
