Chapter 4019: Patriarch
Time passed by minute by second, and Chu Yang and Gongsun Qingyou still gained nothing and never found the whereabouts of the hunting team.
When the deadline came, Chu Yang had no choice but to turn to Gongsun Qingyou and give the final order.
"The time has come. We must leave here. We cannot stay here for any longer."
Chu Yang and Gongsun Qingyou returned the way they came, and soon their figures appeared at the edge of the lake.
Seeing the two people returning so quickly, Xie Ying asked in confusion:
"Why are there just the two of you?"
Chu Yang said in a deep voice with a complicated expression:
"We didn't find the hunting team, but we did see traces of a fight below, but we couldn't determine the identity of the person who fought, so we could only go back the same way and stay there. Our bodies would also be damaged."
Xie Ying asked in a panic:
"Can you two determine who the shooter was?"
"It's not certain yet, but it's certain that the deceased was neither a monster nor a human being."
Hearing this, Xie Ying and Mu Mu blinked in confusion.
"How is this possible? There are only traces of monsters in this Shenmu Lake. How could other inexplicable beings appear? Do you two feel wrong?"
Gongsun Qingyou looked at Xie Ying.
"There can be no problem with our judgment. If you don't believe it, why not go to Shenmu Lake to find out for yourself? It would be great if we can find any clues."
Xie Ying's expression suddenly became extremely difficult. With her current strength, she could only stay in Shenmu Lake for an hour at most, which was not enough time to find any clues.
Just when Xie Ying didn’t know what to do
When they were done, a long voice suddenly sounded above the heads of several people.
"Don't worry, Little Shitou. There is nothing wrong with your father. They are just trapped in a dangerous place. It won't take long for everyone to return safely.
These two little friends are right, there are more than just ordinary monsters under the Shenmu Lake, but it is too early for you to know this now. "
A branch with green leaves suddenly stretched out and gently touched Xie Ying's head.
"Master Patriarch, you are finally out of seclusion."
After hearing this, Chu Yang and Gongsun Qingyou's eyesight became very strange.
"This is the leader of your tribe. His identity is truly unexpected."
As soon as he finished speaking, the branch suddenly turned into a wooden man in front of Chu Yang and the two of them. This wooden man was short in stature, had a kind face, and had a strong breath of life. One look at Chu Yang was enough to determine that this tree was alive. The years must be very long, and it is very likely that the life span of the Tribulation Period has been exceeded.
"Fellow Taoist, the two of us here just want to discuss a deal with you. We don't have any ill intentions towards you."
The patriarch nodded and responded in a gentle voice:
"Don't worry, you two. I know your purpose of coming here."
"But I can't make the decision on this matter alone. I have to wait for the hunting team to come back before I can make a decision. I hope you don't mind. As for you, you might as well take a good rest during this period."
Chu Yang nodded, but he didn't feel any malice in the old man.
"I'm sorry to bother you now."
There was no progress in this transaction for a while, and neither did Chu Yang.
Anxious, and he also wanted to see the true appearance of the hunting team and see how strong they were.
"We have guests coming from afar. I'm sorry that I can't entertain the guests in my true form for the time being. Xiao Shitou, take these two fellow Taoists to the reception hall, where I have prepared some food for you two."
Chu Yang bowed his hands towards the wooden man, his tone full of respect.
"Thank you, senior, for the hospitality. This trouble will be a nuisance to senior."
Mu Ren showed a gentle smile and looked at Chu Yang with kind eyes. That kind of look made Xie Ying on the side very jealous.
"You don't have to be polite, fellow Taoist. I had a hunch earlier that there will be distinguished guests arriving. If nothing else, there should be two of them. Maybe it won't be long before we, the Shenmu Clan, will bother you two."
It wasn't until this moment that Chu Yang and Gongsun Qingyou truly knew that the name of this tribe was the Shenmu Clan, and the wooden figure that appeared in front of them was probably the totem or guardian spirit of this tribe.
"Come with me, I will take you to the living room, which has not entertained guests for many years. You two are lucky this time."
With an angry look on her face, Xie Ying led Chu Yang and the two of them toward the living room. She saw many acquaintances along the way, and their eyes lingered on Chu Yang and Gongsun Qingyou for a long time.
"I would like to advise you, it is best not to look around. These people are not as gentle as me. If you see something you shouldn't see, be careful, I will kill you two."
In less than half a cup of tea, the two of them had arrived at the so-called reception room. When they arrived, a long line of people had gathered behind them.
, all of them were members of the tribe who were curious about the identities of Chu Yang and the two of them.
"Little Shitou, what are the origins of these two people? Why would the patriarch personally entertain these two people?"
"This man is really handsome, but his figure is not that good. He can't hunt much at first glance."
"..."
The sound of chirping lingered in her ears, making Xie Ying's head almost bigger than her two heads.
"Everyone, please go back quickly. This is a guest that the clan leader asked me to entertain. Please don't anger the guests. Be careful of the clan leader blaming you."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately remembered a powerful voice.
"You little stone, you are fooling us with lies like this. Don't we still know the clan leader's temper?"
Seeing that the crowd was getting bigger and bigger, Xie Ying was so annoyed that she had no choice but to look up to the sky and shout: "Chief!"
As the voice fell, a branch appeared out of thin air behind Xie Ying and waved gently in the direction of the crowd. Seeing this, the crowd dispersed in all directions and no longer gathered in front of the reception room.
Seeing that the clan leader finally stepped forward to solve the problem, Xie Ying breathed a sigh of relief. The clan leader really cared about her the most.
I really don’t understand why the clan leader values these two outsiders so much. When did the Shenmu clan need help from outsiders?
"If you want to eat those spiritual fruits and stuff, you can take it yourself. Don't think about asking me to serve you. I'll leave if you have nothing to do. If you need anything, don't call me. I have to practice quickly and wait for my father to come back."
Xie Ying's attitude towards Chu Yang and Chu Yang was very complicated, not only because she was Gongsun Qingyou's defeated general, but also because of the clan leader's favor and respect, which made her work hard and want to be promoted as soon as possible.
With his own strength, he defeated Gongsun Qingyou and washed away his shame.
Just when Xie Ying was about to turn around and leave, a voice suddenly called her from behind.
