After eating fried worms once, the Flame Eagle King stayed in the tribe and refused to leave. The Flame Eagles from the cliff came several times but couldn't persuade their king to come back. To express their gratitude, the Flame Eagles could only send their king's rations over every day.
Besides delivering food to the Flame Eagle King, each time a Flame Eagle came, they would bring a flower that they thought was beautiful. They didn't know when their king had taken a liking to flowers, but they simply obeyed his orders.
This was accompanied by a variety of news.
This year's winter in the Wilderness Forest is exceptionally cold, freezing many small animals that used to overwinter there to death.
The giant lizard seems to have become addicted to the wild beef that Chen Ke and the others gave it, and it crawls out of its swamp to catch wild beef everywhere to eat.
There's a flock of bright red sparrows to the east; their colors are quite beautiful. They asked the Flame Eagle King if he liked them and wanted to keep one, etc...
Chen Ke thought of Lin Yue in the desolate forest, wondering how she would survive the winter after she couldn't forge her holy bones without the Blood Spirit Flower.
Two months later, with a roar, Jue became the third warrior in the Youqi tribe to break through to the third realm.
The second one is Kalulu, while the first one, Chen Ke, has already broken through the fourth realm and is heading straight for the fifth realm.
The fourth realm is bone refining and membrane formation, where Chen Ke directly forged sacred bones. The fifth realm is internal organ refining and membrane formation, strengthening tender organs and making them resistant to shock damage. Upon breaking through to the fifth realm, all five internal organs can become combat tools, increasing overall endurance tenfold or a hundredfold.
One breath, a thousand punches; one punch, a thousand enemies defeated.
As temperatures rise in the southern part of the wasteland, the Youqi tribe knows that the Wild Forest is beginning to revive. The summer heat in the wasteland is unbearable for humans. The warriors are not afraid of the heat now, but the other tribesmen are not yet able to adapt.
So, with the arrival of summer in the southern wilderness, the Youqi tribe began packing up to return to the wild forest.
The journey there was fraught with peril and worry, but the return trip was incredibly simple and smooth. Even though the women were pregnant, they had no worries along the way.
When they passed the cliff, the Yan Ying showed great enthusiasm to the Youqi tribe, preparing various kinds of prey to entertain them. Fearing that they would get tired of eating only meat, they also picked all kinds of fruits, showing their utmost hospitality.
So the Flame Eagles warmly welcomed the people of the Youqi tribe, thinking that their king would stay. But after they had eaten and drunk their fill, the Flame Eagles watched as their king flapped his wings and flew away with the others.
And so, the Youqi tribe led the Flame Eagle King northward, passing through the swamp they had come from, catching up with the Great Lizard King, crossing the grasslands where the wild bulls lived, hunting enough wild bulls, and then trekking for another half month before finally seeing the edge of the Wild Forest.
Meanwhile, the Flame Eagle King had traveled back and forth countless times between the migrating Youqi tribe and the Wild Forest, and each time he returned, he would complain to Chen Ke that they were moving too slowly, taking them a month to cover a journey that would have taken him two days.
Chen Ke had already broken through the fourth realm and entered the fifth realm, and was only one step away from breaking through the fifth realm. Therefore, Chen Ke no longer treated himself poorly and captured a few wild bulls. He then used his virtue to subdue the bulls and made them his mounts, allowing the old people, children and women to sit on them.
Chen Ke sat leisurely on the back of the bull, and after listening to Yan Ying Wang's complaints, he crossed his arms and leaned back on the bull's back. "Do you still remember the woman you met when you picked the Blood Spirit Flower?"
The Flame Eagle King also landed, folded its wings, and stood on the bull's head. The bull felt intimidated by the Flame Eagle King and became nervous. After being whipped by Chen Ke, it ran away again.
"I remember, she tried to steal my flowers."
"Can you find her?"
King Yan Ying was taken aback. "This winter is so cold. By the time we find her, she'll probably be frozen to death and eaten alive, leaving only bones."
Chen Ke shook his head. "She won't."
"Why? Isn't she a two-legged creature too?" Two-legged creatures can't tolerate cold or heat, except for the two-legged creature in front of you, of course!
Chen Ke smiled mysteriously and looked at Yan Ying Wang, "Because she comes from—the human world I told you about, the legendary world over by the Goddess River."
After hearing this, the Flame Eagle King's round eyes gleamed with curiosity. "Really? Then I'll go look for it." With that, he flew away impatiently.
Chen Ke watched the tiny black dot disappear quickly into the sky and curled the corners of his mouth. "Lin Yue, you mustn't really die. We haven't avenged Jue and the others yet."
After several more days of trekking, the Youqi people finally returned to their camp in the wild forest.
This is a sparse forest. In the clearings of the forest, there are some simple houses built from trees and withered vines. Because of the melting snow, the clearings in front of the houses are wet and have sprouted a lot of weeds. However, the people are still very happy. They put down their things and began to tidy up their "homes".
With the addition of warriors from the Xiongqi tribe, the existing houses of the Youqi tribe were clearly insufficient. After the wise man Lacha selected a suitable location, he had the warriors begin building some new houses.
The structure was still crudely and simply built with branches and vines, but Chen Ke didn't give much direction because in his plan, all the people of the Youqi tribe would go to the Shenya Dynasty with him.
On the first night back at the camp, Chen Ke called together Lacha the Wise Man, Karulu Yudi, and Jue for a meeting.
After hearing Chen Ke's plan, apart from the wise man Lacha who seemed to have expected it, the other three were stunned and speechless.
"Chief? Is there really a divine realm across the Goddess River?" Karulu was so surprised that he stammered. Didn't the wise man Lacha always tell them that it was a legend?
Jue had long suspected something, but had never considered going to that place, so she was extremely surprised. "Chief Buko, are you telling the truth?"
Only Yudi, though surprised, firmly supported Chen Ke, saying, "Chief, you're in charge. I'll follow you wherever you want to go!"
Chen Ke nodded to Yudi, then said to Karulu and Jue, "There is indeed a human world across the Goddess River. The woman who killed Jue and his people came from that world. I've had this idea for a while now. Although our world is rich in resources, since there is a world outside, why should we stay put? It would be good to go out and take a look."
Chen Ke didn't reveal his background. Firstly, he already knew that such explanations didn't make sense. Secondly, his prestige and status in the Youqi tribe were rising. If the tribespeople heard that their lives had been usurped, they would likely be furious and want to take it back for him. Such impulsive decisions could easily lead to regret later.
After hearing Chen Ke's affirmative answer, Karuru couldn't suppress the curiosity in her eyes. The chief said it was a place inhabited by many humans, so...did that mean there would be many women? It wasn't that Karuru had any particular thoughts, it's just that there were too many bachelors in the tribe right now...
