The memories of the people whose souls were searched by Xue Kong were very fragmented. These people were indeed not ordinary people, at least different from the people Xue Kong had seen in the past. They had lived in these deep mountains and forests for generations and were unaware of anything in the outside world.

Their culture was backward. For example, they had not yet learned textile technology, so their clothing was very primitive. They could only kill monsters and peel off their skins to make clothes to keep warm.

These dozen or so people are all ordinary ancient people, belonging to the lowest class, and have no special abilities. If they can be said to be powerful, it is probably that they strengthen their bodies and practice the methods of catching monsters day and night.

Most of the people here exist in tribes.

Unfortunately, Xue Kong did not find any content about the black rune in this person's memory. Given the other party's status, he only knew that the black rune represented a powerful power and status, and he was not qualified to touch it.

These dozen people and the young man with the black rune between his eyebrows belong to two different tribes.

There are many tribes in these deep mountains and forests. Due to the scarcity of resources, they often have to use the most primitive method to compete for resources, that is - force.

Otherwise, the only fate waiting for them is genocide.

In these deep mountains and old forests, countless ethnic groups have risen and fallen, which is not uncommon and even happens every day.

Not only that, in that person's memory, the impression of the tribe of young men with black runes on their foreheads was that they were a very weak tribe that could be swallowed up quickly.

These ancient people, whose behaviors were extremely primitive, annexed other ethnic groups and tribes by... killing the weak males, capturing the strong males as slaves, and capturing the women as breeding tools.

This will strengthen the tribe.

The man was young and his memory was limited, and there was even less that was worthy of Xue Kong's attention. In just a short while, he had a thorough understanding of the deep mountains and forests and the ancient people.

"I never thought I'd penetrated this deep into a place like this. What's even more unimaginable is that there are such primitive humans in this world. They look weak, but the power they possess is quite impressive."

While Xue Kong was thinking, the young man with the black rune between his eyebrows raised his head in pain and stared at Xue Kong in a daze. Seeing Xue Kong flying in the sky, horror appeared in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he knelt on the ground in front of Xue Kong.

"My lord! Thank you so much for rescuing me!" the young man said in awe.

After absorbing the man's memory, he could now hear what the young man said. After thinking for a while, Xue Kong asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Wu Bei."

Xue Kong glanced at the injuries on Wu Bei's body, raised his right hand, and radiated his cultivation. The spiritual power fell on this person, and the flesh wounds healed quickly and stopped bleeding.

Regarding the black rune, he was not going to forcibly search Wu Bei's soul to obtain it.

He might have to stay here for a long time in the future, not only to sprint to the Nascent Soul stage, but also because he became interested in the black rune. As Wu Bei's savior, he would be able to better integrate into the group of ancient people.

"This... is a miracle. My injuries have healed. It's simply a miracle. You are worthy of being an immortal!" Wu Bei looked at the injuries on his body in disbelief. Although there was still some pain, it was fine.

When he looked at Xue Kong again, his eyes were full of respect and fanaticism. He kowtowed repeatedly on the ground, and many marks immediately appeared between his eyebrows.

For Xue Kong, these were just minor flesh wounds that could be healed in a snap of his hands, but for these primitive people, it was difficult to heal unless they possessed the power of the black rune.

After Wu Bei kowtowed a few times, Xue Kong nodded at him and said, "Seeing that your life is not easy, I will give you a ride. Where is your home?"

"Thank you, Immortal. My home is ten miles away from here. There is a water fort there. It is the home of me and my people." Wu Bei turned around and pointed in a direction, and said to Xue Kong excitedly.

Xue Kong glanced at him. He didn't know whether this man was too respectful to him or was just honest and had no guard, so he said it directly.

If it were him, he probably wouldn't tell his address so easily.

Xue Kong waved his sleeves and took away the mountain of flesh formed by the monster's corpse. Then he took Wu Bei and flew in the direction he pointed.

Seeing Xue Kong's powerful methods, Wu Bei's eyes became more fanatical, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Shangxian, did you kill these beasts?"

Xue Kong nodded expressionlessly.

Wu Bei gasped, a look of panic flashing in his eyes. "Please forgive me, Immortal! When I picked up this meat, there was no one around. I thought it was left by wild animals killing each other."

"I didn't know it was a thing from the immortals. Please forgive me."

"It's okay. I have been fasting for decades and don't need to rely on food to provide energy. Since you picked it up, it's yours." Xue Kong said softly.

"Thank you, thank you." Wu Bei didn't know what fasting was, but after hearing what Xue Kong said, he knew that it was a way to live without eating, and envy immediately appeared in his eyes.

I thought to myself, “If my people and I could practice fasting, maybe we wouldn’t have to risk our lives fighting with others for food, and no one would die.”

"The immortal is worthy of being an immortal. We cannot compare with him." He felt sad in his heart. In this forest, too many people died of starvation.

Compared with those powerful ones, their small tribe is like an ant that can be slaughtered at will. They can only survive and live in secret.

Even so, they still had to go out and compete with others for the meat, otherwise they would starve to death without being beaten by others.

Xue Kong was very sensitive and noticed the change in Wu Bei's mood. He didn't say anything and had no intention of comforting others. He just stared at Wu Bei's eyebrows.

After resting for a while, the black rune that had disappeared between Wu Bei's eyebrows reappeared clearly.

Soon, a water fort standing in the dense forest appeared in the sight of Xue Kong and Wu Bei. From a distance, the water fort was not large. At this time, it was filled with thick smoke, and noise and screams came from the water fort in the distance.

"Oh no! The village is attacked!" Wu Bei's expression changed drastically, his eyes became as big as a cow's, and he looked away anxiously.

He turned his head anxiously and looked at Xue Kong.

Xue Kong nodded, and his flying speed increased again. In a blink of an eye, he arrived above the water fort. Looking down, he saw that the entire water fort was in chaos, and the two groups were fighting fiercely.

There were many dead and wounded on the ground, and the sky was filled with shrill cries.

It was not difficult to distinguish the two groups of people. One of them was dressed in rags and his animal skins were torn and old. They must be the people from the water fort.

The animal skins of the other side were not only brand new, but also covered a large area of ​​the body. Each of them was tall and strong, giving them an advantage in this battle.

Wu Bei stared at a young girl in the crowd with bloodshot eyes, his anger almost bursting out of his eyes: "Ling'er!"
