Chapter 43: The Shocking Human Tribe! So That's What Was Going On!

The person who appeared above the Zhushan Tribe was, naturally, Lu Yun.

Because he had just suddenly thought that the Wu Clan rushing over so roughly might frighten the Human Race here.

That was why he specifically asked the members of the Wu Clan to wait a moment, while he himself flew in first in his flying vehicle, preparing to greet the Human Race here first.

At this moment, Lu Yun emerged from the flying vehicle, stood in mid-air, and swept his gaze across the entire Zhushan Tribe.

After just one look, he could not help but shake his head.

Because the living environment of the Primordial Human Race nowadays was truly too crude!

So crude that he could hardly bear to look at it.

Although he was a human from Earth and actually had no connection to the Primordial Human Race, as a fellow human, he still felt some sympathy for these kin.

Of course, he also understood that it was already very difficult for the Primordial Human Race to survive in such a dangerous Great Desolation today.

When it came down to it, it was because their strength was too poor! Just as Lu Yun was sighing in his heart, the Tribal Chief of the Zhushan Tribe below, Dashan, had already woken up from his shock.

He immediately bowed to Lu Yun and said piously, "Human Dashan, pays respects to this Immortal Elder!"

"Pay respects to the Immortal Elder!"

The others in the Zhushan Tribe around him also woke up from their shock all at once and bowed toward Lu Yun as well.

They were still feeling very uneasy inside at this moment.

After all, in the Great Desolation, beings that looked like humans might not actually be of the Human Race at all!

Because the "human" form was actually the form of Pangu, and also the final appearance that all beings of the Great Desolation evolved into after cultivation.

The difference was that the Human Race was born this way, while other races needed to take human form and evolve continuously.

Therefore, they could not be sure whether the Lu Yun before them was truly of the Human Race or some other race that had cultivated to take human form.

They felt it was likely the latter.

Because, among the Human Race, only the Innate Human could fly, and they were basically all in the Human Ancestral Land; if they were to come to the Zhushan Tribe, they should have contacted them in advance.

Yet they had not received any such contact beforehand.

Moreover, Lu Yun's clothing and appearance were too different from the Primordial Human Race, which made them feel even more that Lu Yun was not of the Human Race.

They were currently guessing what the other party had come to their Zhushan Tribe for.

However, to their surprise, Lu Yun descended from the sky at this moment and said to them repeatedly, "Everyone, there is no need for such formalities. My name is Lu Yun, and I am also of the Human Race, not some Immortal Elder!"

Although Lu Yun knew that he was actually different from them, for the sake of the task of "becoming the leader of the Human Race," he decided to claim from now on that he was of the Primordial Human Race! "What?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the surrounding Zhushan Tribe was shocked and looked at Lu Yun in disbelief.

This person actually said he was of the Human Race? They highly doubted whether they had misheard!

Tribal Chief Dashan widened his eyes, looked at Lu Yun, and stammered, "Im... Immortal Elder, you wouldn't be joking with us, would you?"

Lu Yun smiled and said, "What is there to joke about? I am indeed of the Human Race!"

The members of the Zhushan Tribe looked at each other.

They still dared not quite believe this matter.

But thinking about it carefully, there should be no one in the Great Desolation willing to impersonate the Human Race. After all, there was no benefit to impersonating the Human Race! Could it be that this Immortal Elder was really of the Human Race? The more Tribal Chief Dashan thought about it, the more excited he became, but he still tried hard to control his emotions and asked cautiously, "May I ask which Human Tribe the Immortal Elder comes from?"

The others around the Zhushan Tribe also pricked up their ears.

Although they were looking forward to Lu Yun truly being of the Human Race, such a surprise was too great, so they had to confirm it properly.

This question really stumped Lu Yun.

He couldn't just make up a tribe name to fool them, could he? Not to mention whether the Human Race had a way to contact each other, a tribe he mentioned off the cuff might not fool them. Even if he fooled the people of the Zhushan Tribe, this deception would not stand up to investigation later.

He still wanted to become the leader of the Human Race; how could he leave such a stain? After pondering for a while, Lu Yun suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "I don't know which tribe I am from either, because when I was born, my parents said our tribe had already been destroyed. They gave birth to me while fleeing everywhere, and later they accidentally left me behind. As for me, I only survived by chance after obtaining some fortuitous encounters."

After saying this, a look of sadness appeared on Lu Yun's face.

And this explanation of his did not arouse the slightest suspicion from the people of the Zhushan Tribe.

Because, for the Human Race today, such things were too common! The deadline Nuwa had set to protect the Human Race for ten thousand years had already passed, and after the Human Race continued to grow, they had to leave the Ancestral Land and spread in all directions, so it was inevitable that they would encounter danger.

For instance, the Zhushan Tribe had once suffered destruction before and only rebuilt after fleeing here.

Other tribes with similar experiences might not have had their luck to rebuild, and most would even perish during their flight! Thinking of this, the gazes everyone cast at Lu Yun suddenly held a bit more sympathy.

Tribal Chief Dashan noticed the key word in Lu Yun's last sentence.

Fortuitous encounter!

That was it!

Only by obtaining a fortuitous encounter could a human possibly possess the ability to fly!

With this, the doubts in his heart were suddenly resolved.

His gaze toward Lu Yun also became kind, and he asked, "Then what is your purpose in coming to our tribe?"

Others also asked about this question one after another.

Lu Yun smiled slightly and said, "I previously made some friends from the Wu Clan nearby and received some help from them, so I wanted to cook some food for them as a token of gratitude. However, because cooking requires some preparation, I specifically came to your tribe to borrow the venue to entertain my friends from the Wu Clan. I wonder if it is convenient?"

Hearing this, Dashan and the others suddenly seemed to understand something.

A warrior of the Zhushan Tribe pointed to the corpses of the Demon beasts that looked like small mountains in the distance and blurted out, "You don't mean to say that those who just made such a big commotion over there are your friends from the Wu Clan, right?"

Upon hearing this, the others were also shocked and looked at Lu Yun in astonishment.

Lu Yun nodded and said, "That's right! They caught quite a lot of prey on the way, so they made a bit of a commotion. I was afraid of frightening you, so I specifically asked them to stop first and came over in advance to greet you."

The people of the Zhushan Tribe: "..."

So, they had been nervous for a long time, and it turned out to be like this? No wonder those Demon beast corpses were piled together and could even move toward them!

While feeling helpless, Tribal Chief Dashan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterward, he said readily, "Convenient, of course it is convenient!"

Lu Yun smiled and said, "Then many thanks, I will go call them over now!"
