Chapter 2209: She People!
Although the demon beast had some brute strength,
it was evidently not very intelligent.
Trapped in the encirclement, it crashed left and right like a headless fly.
At first, it was somewhat fierce, but gradually, as more and more wounds appeared on its body,
the demon beast realized something was wrong and wanted to escape, but it was too late.
Under the man’s command, the group blocked all its escape routes.
Finally, after about half an hour, the demon beast was killed.
At this moment, the group surrounding the demon beast let out excited shouts.
From a distance, Zhou Yu, who had witnessed all this, wore a thoughtful expression.
He had observed their fighting style closely.
He realized that these people were not cultivators,
but rather beings slightly stronger than ordinary humans.
They could cast spells entirely relying on the magic artifact spears in their hands.
This was quite similar to many common folk in Fengyuan City.
As Zhou Yu pondered in silence, the people in the distance began to dismember the demon beast.
Their actions were very skillful.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the enormous demon beast was cut into hundreds of pieces by them.
Just then, the burly man suddenly looked towards Zhou Yu.
At the same time, several others gathered around him, pointing and talking about something unknown.
It seemed they were speculating about Zhou Yu’s identity.
At this moment, a woman took out a magic artifact,
which resembled a jade plate.
She chanted towards the jade plate,
and pointed it at Zhou Yu.
In an instant, Zhou Yu felt a faint sweep of Divine Sense pass over.
Zhou Yu’s heart stirred, and he guessed that this jade plate might be a communication device.
After the woman finished pointing the jade plate at Zhou Yu,
suddenly, the jade plate flickered with light again. The woman spoke to the jade plate, and moments later, her complexion changed, and she instinctively looked at Zhou Yu.
She also showed a peculiar expression.
Soon after, the woman quickly approached the burly man and spoke a few words.
After listening, the burly man also showed a surprised expression.
Then, in Zhou Yu’s surprised gaze, the burly man walked quickly towards him.
With his head lowered, he said a lot.
However, Zhou Yu could only smile wryly.
Because he couldn’t understand a word the other was saying.
Yet it seemed the other party was treating him with great reverence.
The burly man soon noticed that Zhou Yu couldn’t understand him.
He scratched his head, then suddenly thought of something.
He shouted to the people in the distance.
Moments later, a few more robust people ran over.
They quickly assembled something resembling a sedan chair.
The burly man then pointed at Zhou Yu and the sedan chair.
Zhou Yu immediately understood what was meant.
He took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and managed to lie down on the sedan chair.
Without a clear understanding of the situation, Zhou Yu didn’t want to offend these people.
He was also curious why they treated him with such an attitude.
Once Zhou Yu was settled, the leading man instructed everyone to lift him up and carry him.
Meanwhile, the others also brought along parts of the demon beast they’d just dismembered.
The group headed towards the depths of the island.
Soon, they traversed through the island.
Only then did Zhou Yu see that there were dozens of islands in the surroundings.
The islands were connected by submerged rocks.
These people were evidently familiar with the terrain.
They skillfully navigated through the submerged rocks.
After traveling for about ten days, they finally arrived at a large island.
During these ten days, although Zhou Yu didn’t move, he silently refined the medicinal energy within him, regaining some strength.
Now, he surveyed the island around him.
Soon, a look of recollection appeared in his eyes.
It all came back to him.
Before he fell here, his Divine Sense had once scanned this place.
This island seemed to be the largest within a hundred thousand miles.
Zhou Yu had a deep impression of this island because it had an unusually intense heat at its center.
If he remembered correctly, the island’s center was sunken.
At the bottom of this depression was subterranean magma.
Of course, this was all Zhou Yu could recall at the moment.
As they arrived on the island,
a group of people who looked similar quickly emerged, and the number of people grew as if they received some news.
Naturally, all eyes focused on Zhou Yu.
The majority looked curious.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu understood that he had become an object of fascination in their eyes.
At that moment, a petite but exquisitely beautiful woman appeared among the crowd.
She approached the burly man, and they conversed for a long time.
Then, the woman came to Zhou Yu and started speaking.
Yet, Zhou Yu still couldn’t understand anything she said.
The woman did not give up, continuing to speak.
Moments later, Zhou Yu suddenly was taken aback.
"Wait a second, you can speak the Peng Clan language?"
Hearing Zhou Yu finally speak, the woman looked excited.
She then struggled to speak in the Peng Clan’s language:
"Ancestor!"
"It’s great that you can understand the Peng Clan’s language."
"I am a branch elder of the She People, my name is Fire Spirit. May I ask the name of the esteemed ancestor?"
Zhou Yu was startled.
She People?
He had never heard of them.
However, it seemed to have some link with the Human Race.
Zhou Yu smiled and said:
"My surname is Zhou, why do you call me ancestor?"
Fire Spirit quickly replied reverently,
"Because the esteemed ancestor resembles our tribe’s ancestors."
"Your ancestors?"
"Who were they?"
Fire Spirit quickly said,
"Esteemed ancestor, I am just a minor figure within the She People branch, I don’t know much about many things."
"However, I will immediately inform our main tribe’s elder."
"They will answer your questions."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu looked thoughtful.
The strongest among them seemed to be the robust man,
who had just reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.
With cultivation that weak, their so-called tribe elders wouldn’t be much stronger.
Although he was badly injured now, a camel starved is still bigger than a horse; unless it was a cultivator above the Divinity Transformation Realm, there wouldn’t be a threat to him.
Zhou Yu nodded.
"Alright."
Fire Spirit immediately took out a jade plate, chanting towards it.
Soon, a spiritual light began to flicker from the plate.
After a while, Fire Spirit put the jade plate away.
"Esteemed ancestor, I have informed our tribe’s elder, next, let me take you to our tribe."
Zhou Yu nodded.
"Okay."
