Chapter 6, Doubt

Everyone followed the direction of the girl's finger and finally saw Huangquan, who had been standing at the edge of the valley

Standing in front of the Yellow Springs, he shouted loudly: "He can speak our language! He is not a cannibal!"

"Fei Jian, I still remember that you did not like practicing swordsmanship since you were young, but archery is also an essential skill for a hunter. It seems that your choice was not wrong."

He pointed towards the underworld and said, "Wait for me, when the wind turns cool, that will be your time of death"

She dragged him across the underworld and directly hoisted him onto her shoulder, carrying him back to her residence

Although Huang Quan had experienced countless storms and hardships, this sudden encounter still left him speechless. Moreover, the young man was clearly very arrogant; after delivering his harsh words, he turned and left, completely denying Huang Quan the opportunity to retaliate

Fei Jian awkwardly said: "I want to prepare the animal skin! Of course, there will be some odor; what good hunter would mind such trivialities? Besides, your place is so small, where would he sleep?"

The young man's expression froze for a moment, and with a hint of embarrassment and anger, he shouted: "Regardless of the circumstances, the rules are as such. When the time is right, you will be my woman! Until then, if you do anything, you will know the consequences yourself"

Huang Quan could no longer contain a hint of brilliance: "Should I kill him now?"

Many people said: "He really can speak our language! Perhaps he is someone from a distant settlement, or maybe he has spent too long in the forest"

Huang Quan slightly furrowed his brows, his fingers moved slightly. The hand holding the flying arrow was too close to his neck's vital point, and he instinctively wanted to point a finger to disable the outstretched claw, but in the end, he forcibly held back.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Clearly, if it had not been spoken by Yao, and with the presence of the warrior Grey Hawk and the hunter Flying Arrow who did not refute it, no one would have believed it. This luck was indeed extraordinary

The elder smiled and said, "There are indeed many questions. For instance, where do we come from? What were our ancestors like? What lies beyond this forest, and what does the world further away look like? What is the realm where the souls of our ancestors reside, beyond the blue sky above us?"

At that moment, a very strong young man approached and said bluntly: "Yao, he is so weak, he is simply not suitable for you!"

In his field of vision, the sky was entirely obscured by the tree canopy, with only a small area in the center allowing sunlight to filter through. At the edge of the sunlight, there was a ring of blue sky, which was the only part of the sky visible.

Of course, it is my bed! It is only natural for you to think so.

The Grand Elder pressed further, but Huang Quan could only say that he could not remember clearly

Several young individuals immediately drew their weapons, pointing them at Huang Quan, and shouted in unison: "A stranger has entered!" "Kill him!" "He is a cannibal!"

Pointing behind him, he said: "It was he who killed the baboon demon. Without him, if we had encountered such a powerful baboon demon, we would have only become food."

Yao said with annoyance: "With you being this weak, what are you bragging about?!"

With her brows raised in anger, like an enraged mother leopard, she exclaimed: "I really dislike you. You already have Roya and Lin Wei, how can you still not be satisfied?"

The young girl possessed a strong sense of curiosity, and those around her held their breath in anticipation, eager to discover what issue could perplex an elder renowned for his wisdom and erudition.

The young girl briefly recounted the process of killing the baboon demon, which was indeed quite simple. The baboon demon knocked Huang Quan down, and then it impaled itself on the two hunting knives, one long and one short, that Huang Quan held in hand, and thus it died.

The elder's expression froze, and he questioned, "If it is not you, then who else could it be? Looking at the wound on the baboon demon, this is certainly not a hunted prey"

Yao let out a soft hum: "The most powerful baboon demon has just been killed"

The Grand Elder approached, gestured for everyone to be quiet, and then asked Huang Quan: "Who are you, where do you come from? Did you kill the baboon demon?"

The young people were skeptical, and they lowered their swords slightly. Several elders exchanged glances, and one of the old men stepped forward, carefully observing Huang Quan, and said: "I have never seen such attire; it is not found in any settlement."

Huang Quan said expressionlessly, "You can call me Huang Quan. As for the matter of the baboon demon, ask her."

The elderly man displayed a contemplative expression as he looked up at the sky

At that moment, Feijian walked over, patted Huangquan on the shoulder, and said, "Come stay at my place; I would love to hear your story"

The Grand Elder turned to the Gray Eagle and said, "Your condition does not seem very good; perhaps you should rest in the Ancestor's Pool for a while."

What is the problem? asked Yao.

They are even less likely to know how noble their identity as a prince of the empire is, especially considering that the empire may have long ceased to exist.

The Gray Eagle and the Flying Arrow shook their heads simultaneously, while Yao vigorously waved his hand and said loudly: "Elder, you are mistaken; it was not us who killed the baboon demon."

The young man sneered, "The most powerful baboon demon can possess all the female beasts; this is the tradition of the forest"

The Grand Elder nodded and inquired of Yao about the circumstances at that time

A profound silence enveloped the crowd; many may have pondered similar questions in the past, but these thoughts were fleeting and not deeply contemplated. However, the elder's words evoked memories of their childhood, a time when imagination ran wild.

He spoke clearly and quickly, "At that moment, the ground suddenly shook, and a whole section of the ground collapsed. I saw him and pulled him out. He was not seriously injured, but very weak, and he could speak our language, so I wanted to bring him back. If I left him in the forest, he would definitely die. As for the baboon demon, he indeed killed it."

The elder sighed and said, "These questions may be ones that even our ancestors did not know. Even if they did know and told us, it would not be of much help to our settlement. As for the issue of the sacrifices, I will discuss it carefully with the other elders. If you have any good ideas, you may also bring them up."

Then, the elder looked at the Gray Eagle and smiled, saying: "Gray Eagle, you have always been an excellent warrior. However, I must say that you have now become one of the most outstanding warriors. Perhaps it will not be long before you qualify to inherit the ancestral weapon."

Yao let out a cold hum and said: "When the wind in the forest turns cool, I will defeat all of you, won't that be enough?"

The archer landed on the shoulder of the Yellow Springs, suddenly shivering as if he had just brushed past some enormous danger, and he could no longer manage a smile.

As soon as he spoke, the tense expressions on everyone's faces eased considerably

The arrows flying along the way are relatively friendly, and their current actions do not exhibit any signs of danger. Moreover, judging by the appearance of this group of people, they largely seem to be in a primitive tribal system, with a limited understanding of etiquette and rules.

Yao anxiously said: "Even a cannibal wouldn't dress like this"

And you, Yao. You are still young, but being able to participate in the battle against the baboon demon is an exceptionally valuable experience. Perhaps it won't be long before you become a great hunter like your father!

Yao puffed out his chest and said loudly, "Who to choose is up to me!"

Yao Yila Huangquan said: "Do not pay attention to that fool by the giant rock; I will take care of him when the time comes"

The Grand Elder looked at Huang Quan and asked, "Where do you come from?"

A ... ... very distant place

The Grand Elder said slowly: "Including us, several surrounding settlements lose excellent hunters and warriors to the baboons every year. Moreover, in the past thirty years, we have not killed a single baboon. Based on this achievement alone, I am willing to temporarily accept your settlement in the village. Xiaoyao will inform you of the specific matters."

The young man, with a sullen expression, said: "Every settlement has its own rules, do not forget that."

Yes, the last time I was chased by a cannibal, I only stayed in the forest for one day, and when I returned, I felt somewhat disoriented

At this moment, Yao walked over, pulled Huang Quan, and said to Fei Jian: "Your broken place is as messy as a pigsty, it stinks to high heaven, what is there to go to? He can stay at my place instead."

You are not yet my match, and you will not be even when the wind cools down

The old man slowly said: "What you seek may be great power, but I am different. Since I was very young, I have been deeply curious about many things that we take for granted. There are many phenomena that we only know exist, yet we do not understand why. Now that I have grown old, I estimate that in a few years I will leave this camp and return to the earth. However, these questions have always troubled me, and I have never found answers." Now that I have grown old, I estimate that in a few years I will leave this camp and return to the earth. However, these questions have always troubled me, and I have never found answers.

Ah, well, you..." Fei Jian was at a loss for words, unsure of what to say.
