Looking at the two sturdy blue wolves in front of him, Zhu Wubing already knew the identity of the visitor.
After sensing the two people's realms, Zhu Wubing's expression changed slightly.
Although Zhu Wubing had known that the Chen family had made some recent moves, he still didn't expect that someone from the Chen family would actually come to the family home. Could it be that they were here to call for punishment? But the family hasn't made any small moves recently?
Although Zhu Wubing was nervous, he immediately bowed and said:
"Zhu Wubing, the head of the Zhu family, respectfully welcomes the two adults. I wonder what important matter has brought the two adults to our family this time?"
"So it's Patriarch Zhu. This time, the two of us are here on the orders of our family to inspect the nobles. We hope Patriarch Zhu will give us some convenience."
Chen Qingxiu said with a smile.
Zhu Wubing's face tightened after hearing this, and he quickly explained:
"My Lords, there is a misunderstanding. My clan is loyal to the Chen family. We have not been involved in the recent affairs of other small families. The resources we contribute every year are definitely sufficient. I hope you can understand this."
"Patriarch Zhu, the two of us are just here to take a look. If the nobles are not lying, the family will naturally not cause trouble for you."
Hearing this, Zhu Wubing also reacted immediately and quickly stretched out his hand and said:
"My lords, please come in."
After getting off Qinglang, the two followed Zhu Wubing into the family. Then, under Zhu Wubing's personal leadership, they toured the entire Zhu family and also took special care to watch the resources and wood ganoderma produced by the Zhu family every year.
This is a body-tempering resource that grows on a special kind of wood. It is also what the Zhu family offers as an annual tribute, and the family has a certain understanding of it.
After an inspection, the two of them left the Zhu family with Zhu Wubing's personal farewell.
"Qing Meng, have you found any flaws?"
After leaving Zhu's house, Chen Qingxiu asked.
Chen Qingmeng shook his head calmly:
"Everything is normal. The Zhu family has always been law-abiding. The resources they hand over to the family every year are indeed sufficient and on time."
"I just went to the place where the Zhu family raises domestic animals. There are several black gold beasts there. I think this is why Huaiye made a wrong judgment."
"That's right, let's search somewhere else."
The two of them left without hesitation.
After confirming that the two had gone far away, Zhu Wubing, who had just been smiling, turned around and returned to his family.
But after returning home, Zhu Wubing went straight to the place where his family raised the black gold beast.
After ordering his tribesmen to keep an eye on the surroundings, Zhu Wubing drove away the black gold beast in the circle and then opened a secret passage leading underground.
Not long after, Zhu Wubing, who had entered the secret passage, arrived at a spacious place.
This place is buried deep underground, and there are many tribesmen and various crawling ferocious beasts around.
After seeing a sturdy man, Zhu Wubing also lowered his head and shouted:
“Patriarch.”
"Why did you come down? What's the matter?"
The sturdy man asked in confusion, and Zhu Wubing quickly told him what had just happened.
After finishing speaking, Zhu Wubing said with a worried look on his face:
"Chief, is there any risk in this matter? Should the tribe members and ancestors relocate to other places?"
The strong man just waved his hand:
"Don't worry. What you just dealt with was not a problem. This place is secret and it is difficult for the Chen family to find it. No matter how hard the Chen family searches, they probably won't think that the family has another identity. What's more, the Chen family has already searched for it, so it is even safer. If there is no other major event in the future, you should just stay outside and take up the position of clan leader. Don't rashly open the secret passage."
"Yes, I understand, Chief!"
However, as Zhu Wubing left, the sturdy man's face showed a hint of contemplation.
He had previously guessed at the current strength of the Chen family, but according to the information the family had recently obtained, the Chen family's strength was far stronger than it was three years ago, which even made him feel a little worried.
Although the family hiding place is secret, he still needs to make preparations for both scenarios.
The sturdy man immediately called a tribesman and whispered a few words in his ear.
After receiving the order from the patriarch, the tribesmen left quickly.
Two days later, Chen Tianyu and others gathered in a secret valley.
Below, many tribesmen were exploring the surrounding situation in the valley.
Soon, a tribesman came to report:
"Elder, we have found out that although this place has been damaged, we can still identify many footprints of ferocious beasts, including those of rock jackals. In addition, there were many traces of activities here not long ago. It seems that they moved away a few days ago."
"In addition, we also found a place similar to ancient ruins in this valley, but there is nothing valuable in the ruins, and it is impossible to identify the type of ruins."
After hearing the report from his tribesmen, Chen Tianyu concentrated slightly and a faint smile appeared on his face.
It seems that just as the family speculated, there is another unknown force hidden in the family territory.
At this time, another tribesman reported:
"Uncle Tianyu, our clan members have discovered several secret passages, but they have been sealed off for only a few days."
Chen Tianyu's expression was slightly solemn.
Secret passage, this is a bit troublesome.
Even though the family is quite powerful and even if the warrior is a stranger, the family has the confidence to find his whereabouts within three days. However, the enemy is hiding underground and moving secretly, which makes it really difficult for the time being.
Moreover, this family has also mined an ancient relic, so their strength and means should not be underestimated.
"Uncle, what should we do now?"
On the side, Chen Qingcheng asked.
Chen Tianjing also fell into deep thought.
Although the enemy is hiding underground, the family is not completely helpless.
For example, a family can choose to mobilize all the people from affiliated families to conduct a comprehensive and large-scale search without missing any place. Although it takes a little longer, it will be found sooner or later.
However, this will make the search time very long and waste a lot of manpower, which is the worst option.
The second option is to let the tribe members disperse and search with the guidance of the family's locust leaves. However, there are many ferocious beasts around, and the family's locust leaves may also be affected. Moreover, this move will easily disperse the family's strength and allow the enemy to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, which is also inappropriate.
It's a pity that this place is not within the sensing range of the family sacred tree, otherwise there would be no need to go through so much trouble.
However, if it were within the sensing range of the family sacred tree, this kind of thing would not happen.
Just as the three were deep in thought, another tribesman came to report.
This time, the report was not about what happened in the valley, but information from other tribesmen.
Although a lot of news had been sent by tribesmen in other places before, they were all news of little value.
However, this news made the eyes of all three of them light up.
"There is no time to lose. We will set off now."
"good!"
