Haihu Nuya held the flagpole tightly with both hands and strode through the ruins of Baiyutai.
The surroundings were barren, with large and small pits left by predecessors who explored the ruins. Occasionally, there was a flash of light in the distance, which was a spiritual weapon or elixir that flew out from nowhere, immediately attracting a small sensation, and many spiritual practitioners would rush over to fight for it.
Haihu Nuya, like the tribesmen behind him, didn't even look at the spiritual lights.
Their nostrils moved slightly, catching the faint scent of osmanthus in the air, and followed the scent as they walked deeper into the ruins.
A large group of Sea Tiger tribe members appeared at the same time. Many spiritual practitioners who knew about the grudges between the Sea Tiger tribe and the Sea Snake tribe in the past cried out in surprise when they saw them.
There were also some spiritual practitioners with ulterior motives who followed them stealthily, and several times some wanted to attack them. However, seeing the thousands of sea tigers whose auras were almost condensed into one, and looking at their sophisticated armor and uniform weapons, these spiritual practitioners finally shook their heads and left.
The bounty for the sea tiger clan has long expired. Even if you hunt down one or two sea tigers and send them over, you won't get any reward.
Each of these sea tigers had a slightly hunched back, a gloomy look on their faces, and a gloomy aura around them, as if their entire family had just died. This gave people an inexplicable sense of shock.
There is no personal grudge between them, and the Sea Snake Clan will not reward them. Who would attack these sea tigers for no reason?
Sea Tiger Nuya slowly turned his head and glanced gloomily at the slowly retreating spiritual practitioners. The corners of his mouth slightly cracked, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs - he was the sea tiger boy who had used a big knife made of whale bones to give Hu Dali a heavy blow on the beach that year!
The Haihu clan uses the clan name as their surname, and Haihu is their surname.
The sea tiger Angry Fang was named "Angry Fang" because when he was born, he had two fangs that were half an inch longer than his brothers and were extremely sharp and hard.
It was precisely because of these two fangs that could easily pierce the hard seal skull when he was just born that Sea Tiger Angry Fang was recognized by the elders as having extraordinary talent, so he survived!
He survived, but his eleven brothers and sisters, born from the same mother, all died!
The sea tiger clan has limited resources and an extremely small living area. Only one sea tiger cub can survive from a litter!
When he was a little older, Sea Tiger Nuya witnessed with his own eyes the scene where the elders of the tribe shed silent tears, selected the strongest and most talented one from a litter of sea tiger cubs, and then personally crushed all the other cubs to death... Sea Tiger Nuya's waist, like that of the other members of the tribe, was slightly hunched and could never be straightened again!
More than a thousand Sea Tiger tribe members maintained almost the same posture, slightly hunched over, weapons tightly grasped in both hands, and walked forward in silence.
All the Sea Tigers present were the most gifted and the last to survive among their litter of brothers and sisters. Like Sea Tiger Nuya, everyone was carrying the lives of their brothers and sisters on their shoulders!
They were just born and they were already covered in blood!
The blood from their fellow brothers and sisters dyed their bodies red, blocked their pores, made them breathless, made them silent, and made their words gloomy and somber, like a ghost walking in the sun.
Youngsters like Haihu Nuya are fine, they are just slightly hunched over, and what they carry on their shoulders are the lives of their brothers and sisters, and what is wrapped around them is the blood of their brothers and sisters!
As for the elders of the Sea Tiger Clan, they have profound cultivation and great strength. Even if a mountain is placed on their shoulders, they can easily bear it with their strength - but these elders have their waists hunched at almost 90 degrees. None of them can raise their heads or straighten their backs. They have even lost the courage to look their own people in the eye.
Many times, when Haihu Nuya looked at the elders who were sitting in the corner lifelessly, without saying a word or moving a single step, he even thought that these elders were dead!
The lives of too many sea tiger cubs weighed on them, and the blood of too many sea tiger cubs drowned them.
These elders could not breathe or shout, they could only let the heavy weight of life bend their backs and let the sticky blood drown their souls. They were just barely alive, if it weren't for the fact that the Sea Tiger Clan needed enough masters to protect them, they would have actually died!
These are a group of old people who have one foot in the underworld and one foot barely remaining in the human world!
In fact, they had already died and had no will to live. They were only struggling and forcing themselves to stay alive because of the pleas of the elders of the previous generation and in order to protect the surviving members of the tribe.
If it wasn't for that year, that day, on the beach of that deserted island, Sea Tiger Nuya and the eleven little tiger cubs inexplicably met Tiger Dali.
Perhaps, the day will come when the Sea Tiger people will straighten their backs again.
The eleven skinny and hungry sea tiger cubs were the lucky ones that Sea Tiger Nuya secretly stole. There were twelve brothers and sisters in their litter, and the strongest one was left behind by the elders. The next day, they were to be disposed of by the elders.
No one knew how long the mental struggle of the sea tiger Nuya had lasted, or how determined he was. An underage sea tiger boy, carrying eleven sea tiger cubs on his back, escaped from his tribe's hiding place and wandered around on a deserted island near the Windless Canyon.
A young man with weak cultivation, low strength, little experience in surviving in the wild, and who had not even mastered any of his innate magical powers, and who still needed to be raised by his parents, was struggling to survive on a deserted island with eleven burdens...
That was a period that was too painful to recall, but before Haihu Nuya practiced meditation every day, he would force himself to review every detail of the day.
During that bumpy and displaced period, Sea Tiger Nuya suddenly understood the feelings of the Sea Tiger elders!
There were many times when Haihu Nuya couldn't hold on any longer. He wanted to crush to death the eleven brothers and sisters he had brought up with his own hands, and then stab himself to death with a knife!
Really, I can’t bear it anymore!
Really, it’s too difficult!
On two occasions, he was accidentally bitten by a poisonous sea snake while fishing. Haihu Nuya, who was struggling to stay alive relying entirely on his powerful vitality, even felt that death must be much more comfortable than living.
After that period of time, Sea Tiger Nuya couldn't understand it any more - how did those Sea Tiger elders who had to bear so much more than him survive? If it was Sea Tiger Nuya, he would have asked for his own release.
With both hands tightly grasping the pure silver flagpole, the White Tiger Hall flag fluttered in the wind.
Haihu Nuya thought of that day again.
When he woke up from his coma, he saw eleven little tiger cubs with big bellies playing around a huge white tiger.
When the white tiger saw that he had woken up, it took a piece of browned and fragrant roasted meat as big as the Sea Tiger's body from the campfire and said, "Eat quickly, eat as much as you can... You little guy, why are you as thin as a kitten? Tsk, where are your father and mother?"
