Chapter 89 For the Tribe
A sudden silence fell, and everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost. Yan Han slowly removed the veil from his head, revealing an awkward smile.
Still no sound, and the scene suddenly became strange.
Just as Ye Hang was clearing his throat, preparing to speak again to ease the atmosphere. Suddenly, a loud and coarse voice like thunder rang out, "Well done! Ye Hang? Kaitel, you little rascal, you've become quite capable outside, have come to tease your old man, stand still, don't try to run away from your old man..." Scaring everyone half to death.
Another look revealed it was the Fifth Elder who had flown into a rage, opening his mouth wide and chasing after Ye Han.
"Hey, Gulon, I was just joking earlier, don't take it seriously!"
Ye Han knew that the Fifth Elder 'Gu Long' had a fiery temper, although it was usually all bark and no bite. However, if he were to be truly provoked, he would not hesitate to violently beat someone up. This old man's personality was explosive, and such things could really happen.
Ye Han knew his character, but didn't dare to make such an attempt easily. Although with his current strength, even if several of the five elders joined forces, they might not be his match, but he couldn't really fight the five elders, could he?! So in the first moment, he slipped away quietly.
The five elders 'Gulon' were played by a younger generation this time, and even with his thick skin and careless personality, he felt embarrassed. In a fit of rage, he was about to find Ye Han to settle the score, but unexpectedly, this kid ran so fast that he was stunned for a moment before reacting, thinking that this little rabbit was too sly. He suddenly let out a loud shout and chased after him.
The two of them, one chasing the other, ended up ruining the atmosphere that had been built up earlier. All the "Kaiteru" Minotaur people couldn't help but burst out laughing. This was indeed the personality of the "Kaiteru" Minotaurs, one of the eight great warrior races of the Mong Empire Alliance - fierce and violent in battle, but towards their friends and family, they were kind-hearted and lovable, without any ulterior motives or thoughts.
But just now Ye Han's shock to them was really too great. One person fought alone against several elders and two leaders, how long has it been since the tribe had such a powerful warrior?!
Kaito's Bull Head Clan is like that, their thoughts are always straightforward and simple, without many twists and turns. For them, the stronger the people in the clan, the better, it means the tribe is becoming more prosperous.
This would never happen in the human world, where people are on guard against each other and even harbor suspicions and jealousy.
In contrast to the human world, the Empire of Vrymm is more like a loose organizational structure, a tribal system inherited from ancient times, which is the only way to ensure survival and reproduction. At that time, the 'Kaitel' Minotaur tribe was still very weak, and the natural world was filled with powerful magical beasts and monsters, so in order to survive, everyone had to unite together. And when a strong warrior was born in the tribe, it represented an increase in the overall strength of the entire tribe.
Under the leadership of a stronger warrior, they can get out of trouble and continue to multiply.
Although it's no longer as difficult as in ancient times, this belief has been passed down and remains the same to this day.
On the vast plains of Baimon, countless tribes lived, where the size of pastures, livestock and mineral deposits were all determined by the strength of each side. Weak tribes that wanted to survive had to attach themselves to more powerful tribes, becoming vassals, paying tribute with special products, wealth and beautiful women.
Just like the Hyena tribe and the Jackal tribe are vassals of the Wolf tribe, the Lynx tribe and the Kaito Cat tribe are vassals of the Fox tribe. Many bird tribes such as the White Crane tribe and the Flamingo tribe are also vassals of the noble Mais Swan tribe. They all belong to these powerful households as retainers, and under some powerful vassal tribes, there are even weaker vassal tribes. What determines all this is the number of strong people in the tribe.
This is related to the rise and fall of the entire tribe, and the Iron Hoof Tribe can still be safe and sound, occupying the fertile grasslands at one end of the Luojia Mountains. It's because the strong people in the tribe don't decline, it's one of the most veteran powerful tribes. Only with the continuous replacement of old and new can the key to maintaining the prosperity of the tribe be maintained.
So the stronger Ye Han's strength is, the more delighted the Minotaur in the tribe will be, and they won't have any other thoughts!
At this time, the five elders 'Gulon' were also exhausted and panting, Ye Han's internal family fist had reached a state of perfection, his body was pure yang, his blood was like fire, and his physical strength and endurance were astonishing. The five elders, although their energy was strong and powerful, but after all, they were old, soon defeated, and didn't even have the strength to curse loudly.
Ye Han finally walked over, greeted everyone, and met with several elderly people and the two great leaders of the tribe, 'Kamot' and 'Qulin'. After exchanging pleasantries with the crowd for a while, in the entire Iron Hoof Tribe, Kaito's ox-headed personality made everyone feel like family, allowing Ye Han to find a familiar sense of home.
At this time, he suddenly saw a scar on his face, with a black leather eye patch, and a horn on his head that had been cut off at the root. The one-eyed 'Hunt' leader was also among them, but what was worth being excited about was that, with his current spiritual power level, it was easy to see that Hunt's leader had surpassed the 9th rank and entered the Bronze realm, which was what he had been pursuing for over a decade now, and finally achieved.
Ye Han was really happy for him and hastily greeted him.
"Hunter, congratulations on finally entering your long-awaited realm."
Duanyan Heng was delighted to see Ye Han return, it was a friendship that had been forged through battle, but when he heard what Ye Han said, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Who can compare with you, this monster? It's only been a few years since we last met, and your strength has already reached an extent that I can hardly gaze upon."
He said that it was a sigh, the young man in the Iron Hoof tribe had already reached this point. However, Kaitel's personality made him still happy for Ye Han in his heart.
"Hengtong said with a smile, these two years I've indeed experienced some things outside, and my strength is just barely enough to protect myself. Moreover, my Dou Qi has only just reached the 9th level, who knows when I'll be able to enter the Bronze rank!"
Ye Han smiled and spoke up.
"This is what you call barely being able to protect oneself?! What are we, have these years all been lived in vain like a dog's life?!" Upon hearing Ye Han say this, everyone, especially the several elders and two great leaders, had somewhat strange expressions on their faces, secretly criticizing him in their hearts, almost to the point of having three black lines appear on their foreheads.
Just at this moment, someone suddenly spoke up.
"Huh? Ye Han, is this little guy you brought along? Did you secretly dig up Fox's den and find such an adorable little loli from somewhere?"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on her, and only then did they notice that a little girl with purple hair and big purple eyes, as white and lovely as a delicate porcelain doll, was riding on the back of a majestic beast with golden fur all over its body, about two or three meters high, with a ferocious appearance, staring at Ye Han with two innocent big eyes.
That 'Golden Light' was gazed at by so many powerful beings for the first time, and these people seemed to have a good relationship with their master. They all looked alike, with horns on their heads, and might even be related. Especially those dry old men in front, with turbid eyes staring at it, giving it great pressure. The Golden Light, this shame of the beast world, whose unprecedented thick skin was also a bit tense, its claws scratching the ground non-stop, almost digging out a big pit. Its heart was still thinking shyly.
"Oh no, why are so many people staring at me? It's making me a bit nervous. Could it be that this crowd has discerning eyes and can see the majesty and elegance of the great Golden Master?"
Unfortunately, his self-loving fantasy was soon ruthlessly shattered by a group of old men with loud and coarse voices.
"What a pretty little girl! Ye Han, where did you kidnap her from?"
"Haha, this is really getting the true transmission of our family's three flavors, this is the rhythm of being a child bride, cultivating from loli, truly deep and farsighted, admirable..."
"Ah, such a lovely little girl, and he's capable of doing that? Beast..."
These people are not simple guys, and they can naturally see that this is a rare Qilin. However, the Iron Hoof tribe has always made a living by hunting, with the Luojia mountain range behind them, and they have seen all kinds of powerful ferocious beasts. When they enter the mountains, they are a group of men with muscles in their brains, rushing into the deep mountains and old forests, stunning various powerful prey, and directly carrying out a lion or tiger. Among them, several people have stained their hands with the blood of miscellaneous Qilin.
Although the Qilin is the king of the mountains and forests, this one in front of us is extraordinary, it seems to be very close to being a pure-blood, but for a group of rough men, it's just a strong food, its attractiveness can't compare to that of a suddenly appearing little girl.
"This little girl is so innocent, could she really be the offspring of that group of sly foxes?!"
"It's a sure thing, didn't you see that little girl has a fox tail behind her butt, although it's purple..."
"Purple? I've never seen that before. Who knows, maybe it's some noble breed among those foxes?!"
"Yes, yes, I thought this little girl was extraordinary from the start, and she's definitely a standout among those foxy ladies. Our family's Xiao Han is really something, managing to win over such a beautiful girl. She doesn't have any of that foxy flavor at all! This will surely enrage those scheming, vicious-minded pretty boys who are always plotting. Even the young girls within our own clan have been snatched away by our Bull Head people - this is a huge slap in their faces! Next time we go to the Meng Huang City, I'll make sure to brag about it and infuriate those pretty boys... The elderly members of our clan are overjoyed, with big smiles on their faces, looking like they're the ones who snatched away the beautiful fox lady themselves."
In the Empire of Bimon, the Fox Tribe is a tribe that produces beautiful women, with a reputation that spreads far and wide. They have a bold personality and can get along well wherever they go. However, only the 'Kaiteru' Minotaur Tribe has a unique aesthetic sense that differs from others. They like those robust and sturdy women who can wrestle and fight even better than men, believing that such women with big buttocks are good at giving birth.
Moreover, the Fox men who always hide behind women, calculating this and that, are not impressive. They think it's not what a good man should do, they're just a group of pretty boys who eat soft food. Even the beautiful Fox woman is called a vixen by them. Many foxes get angry when they see 'Kaito' Oxhead people and want to fight to the death, making the entire Bimon beast tribe a laughing stock.
When he heard this, Ye Han just felt a big headache. He knew what his own people were like, and there was absolutely nothing good that could come out of their mouths. When he brought the purple-haired little loli here, he had thought about having such a day, but he didn't expect the retribution to be so quick.
The purple-haired little loli didn't seem to know what was happening, and she didn't understand why these strange uncles were suddenly so excited. She stared blankly with her big eyes, gazing at everything in front of her.
Just as Ye Han glared at the surrounding tribesmen, unable to stop them, and instead triggered a series of even louder laughter. At this moment, a soft "hmm" was suddenly heard, and the leader of the Iron Hoof tribe, 'Leili', saw the purple-haired little loli sitting on the 'Golden Light Qilin' and suddenly let out a soft "hmm!"
"Father, don't say it was me who found this on my way back to the tribe, in the depths of the mountains..." Ye Han explained hastily, seeing that Lei Li's expression seemed somewhat off.
Lei Li waved his hand and looked at the confused purple-haired little loli, his expression gradually becoming more serious. He opened his mouth and said...
"Isn't she Fox?!"
……
That day, Ye Han returned to his tribe. To celebrate the end of his trial, a grand bonfire party was held within the tribe.
That night, the entire Blackstone Castle was ablaze with bonfires, and everyone was reveling in joy, singing loudly, and dancing around the fires. Even the elderly, women, and children joined in, as they had already learned that the young master of the tribe, Ye Han-Kaitel, had completed his trial and become a formidable warrior, capable of rivaling several elder warriors and two great leaders. As for how strong he was, it was unclear to the lowest-ranking members of the tribe. They only knew that the elders were very powerful, and the two great leaders even more so - otherwise, they wouldn't have brought back such massive prey every time they went hunting in the mountains. Some had even seen the leader of the hunters, 'Kamode', shatter a small hill with a single punch. And Ye Han, who could exchange blows with them, must be even stronger.
In any case, having an additional strong warrior in the tribe is a good thing.
This represents that the tribe will become more prosperous and stronger, representing that they will not starve or be bullied by other tribes, nor will they be destroyed by powerful beasts from the deep mountains. Such examples have happened before, but the Iron Hoof Tribe is one of the strongest 'Kaitel' Minotaur tribes, with many strong warriors within the tribe, and has been safe for decades, making the people live very peacefully.
Watching all of this, Ye Han thought to himself that he was getting stronger. Apart from the strong man's dream that had been continuing since his previous life, wasn't it also for these people? Guarding what needed to be guarded, protecting everything he cared about - everything was for the tribe!
In the midst of this excitement, Ye Han still had a question in his mind, "Father said that Muru's purple hair is not Foxes, then what kind of race is she? Is there another race in this world that is based on the fox tribe? And how to explain Little Loli's purple fox tail?"
As for his father's words, Ye Han absolutely believed them. He couldn't help but recall the scene when he first met the purple-haired little loli Muru, her mysterious origins, unknown identity, and the ability to tame ferocious beasts. The places she had been to were free from any magical beast invasions. And then there was her astonishing appetite and that terrifying monstrous strength. Everything proved his father's words. This little confused and bewildered purple-haired little loli's identity was not so simple?!
It was only when he wanted to continue asking that Father Leli suddenly stopped talking. This added a bit more hidden worry in Ye Han's heart, and the fact that his usually calm father would stop talking like this made him suspect that this little loli's origins were even bigger than he had imagined!
He had previously visited the one-eyed Hent leader and found that his best friends from childhood, including Suriemer, had all grown up and gone out to try their luck. They were all children of high-ranking warrior families in the tribe, which was inevitable. However, with this departure, after many years, it would be a different world, and he didn't know if they would have another chance to drink together again. Ye Han's younger brother, De Liu, had been summoned to the Bimon Imperial City to participate in the selection and training of the War God Palace of various tribes, and was no longer in the tribe. Even the mysterious person, Gorreis, who always followed behind his father, Relie, with a black cloak covering his body, was not in the tribe. It was said that he had been sent out by his father to do something outside, and it was unknown when he would return.
Ye Han and the five elders 'Gu Long' and others drank wine, all the way to midnight. Ye Han's inner family fist method had reached a state of nirvana, his energy and blood were surging like a tide, whatever alcohol entered his body could be vaporized and dissipated, turning into nutritious water, supplementing his body. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was immune to the effects of wine, similar to the so-called 'Wine Sword Immortal' of ancient times. This group of dull and foolish cow-headed people were no match for him, soon one by one they became drunk and fell to the ground, collapsing in a heap throughout the house.
Ye Han got up and walked out of the house, facing the cold night wind, wanting to sober up. At this time, a servant came to deliver a message that the leader of the Iron Hoof tribe, his father Lei Li, wanted to see him about something.
He followed the guard to the highest level of Blackstone Castle, to see his father, who was still unfathomable and profound until this day.
