Return of the King, Dominating the City

Chapter 2106: Chapter 1871: Communication (2)

As if she didn’t want to recall unpleasant things, Lang Xiaoran smiled brightly and said, "Song Yun, can you tell me more about the television? Can you really see images inside it?"

"Of course it’s real..."

Song Yun continued to talk, occasionally inserting a few jokes, making Lang Xiaoran listen intently and happily.

The two got along harmoniously, their relationship growing closer.

Lang Xiaoran felt that outsiders weren’t as bad as others said, at least Song Yun wasn’t malicious.

Not only was he not bad, but he was also very interesting.

After talking for a while, Song Yun said, "Xiaoran, now, you should answer my earlier question, right?"

"Oh, you mean why we can command the giant wolves, right?"

Lang Xiaoran reached out to rub Gu Feng’s neck and said, "The natives of the Himalayas are a race favored by ancient beast spirits, known as the Beast Spirit Clan."

"Our race can commune with mutant beasts and gain their approval to command them."

"However, we can’t commune with all mutant beasts."

"For instance, my tribe is called the Wolf Spirit Clan, and we have the ability to commune with wolf-type mutant beasts and thus command them."

"Other Beast Spirit Clans include the Tiger Spirit Clan, Horse Spirit Clan, Leopard Spirit Clan, Bear Spirit Clan, and so on, each commanding different mutant beasts."

"Among all the Beast Spirit Clans, the Wolf Spirit Clan is considered above average."

"Stronger ones are like the Tiger Spirit Clan, Leopard Spirit Clan, Bear Spirit Clan, and such."

"As for smaller ones, like the Rabbit Spirit Clan, Cat Spirit Clan, they’re much weaker."

Hearing this, Song Yun finally understood that the natives of the Himalayas were actually such a special group of tribes.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Eh, Xiaoran, do you have a Dragon Spirit Clan here?"

"Commanding dragons?" Lang Xiaoran said, "It is said that a long, long time ago, there once was a Dragon Spirit Clan. But that’s just a legend, and it’s unknown if it’s true or not."

"Oh."

Song Yun nodded, not surprised by Lang Xiaoran’s answer.

After all, dragons are considered the most powerful beings, and if one could subdue a dragon, it would be world-ending.

Song Yun changed the topic and asked, "By the way, Xiaoran, where are you heading on this trip?"

Lang Xiaoran said, "The Daxia Ruins."

Song Yun raised an eyebrow, feeling puzzled. As far as he knew, previously the Ancient Martial World had sent people to the Daxia Ruins multiple times, but he hadn’t heard of the natives going there?

He asked, "Xiaoran, you haven’t been to the Daxia Ruins before, why are you going this time?"

Lang Xiaoran said, "Actually, our Beast Spirit Clan has always known that outsiders have been exploring the Daxia Ruins. However, the Daxia Ruins are divided into many areas. You were only searching the outskirts, so we didn’t pay much attention."

"But this time, the inner gate of the Daxia Ruins opened, allowing entry into the central area."

"The things inside are true treasures."

"Not only our Wolf Spirit Clan, but nearly the entire Beast Spirit Clan has sent people to explore the Daxia Ruins, aiming to obtain the treasures."

"You outsiders have weak strength, this time, I’m afraid you will be wiped out."

At this point, Lang Xiaoran’s eyes showed a hint of sadness.

Clearly, she was a kind-hearted person who didn’t want to see so many people die.

At this moment, Lang Hai, with a tone of reproach, said, "Miss Xiaoran, this is a secret, how can you tell it to others?"

Lang Xiaoran glanced at Song Yun, who was sitting behind her, and said to Lang Hai, "Song Yun is not an outsider, he is one of us. So I can tell him the secret."

An outsider had actually become one of them with Lang Xiaoran!

Lang Hai’s mouth twitched, he didn’t say much more, and ordered the team, "We’ve been traveling for days, it’s time to take a rest. Let’s camp here and continue the journey tomorrow."

"Yes."

The youths of the Wolf Spirit Clan responded in unison.

Then, they all dismounted their rides and began setting up tents.

As for those mutant giant wolves, they all gathered in an open space nearby, each one huge and imposing, quite a sight to behold.

However, Song Yun noticed a strange phenomenon.

Lang Xiaoran’s giant wolf, Gu Feng, was not with the rest of the pack but was resting on its own more than ten meters away.

Gu Feng occasionally glanced at the wolf pack with a hint of disdain, as if unwilling to associate with them.

He occasionally snorted, truly expressing his contempt.

However, the wolf pack on the other side also seemed to look down on Gu Feng, with an air of exclusion and disdain.

Despite their mutual dislike, both sides did not collide, each staying in their own area, not interfering with each other.

"Why don’t you hurry over to help!?"

While Song Yun was observing the wolf pack, Lang Hai called out to him.

Song Yun glanced over and saw Lang Hai directing other young members of the Wolf Spirit Clan to use branches and leaves to build temporary tents.

Since they were traveling together, he had to contribute some effort.

Song Yun’s outdoor survival experience was extremely rich, even surpassing that of the Beast Spirit Clan.

He went over to help and quickly set up several tents.

Because Lang Xiaoran was the only girl present, he specially built a tent surrounded on all sides, providing an independent space.

After finishing the setup, he waved to Lang Xiaoran: "Xiaoran, this tent is specially built for you, come take a look."

"What, for me?"

Lang Xiaoran’s eyes lit up with joy as she walked over.

She looked closely; although the tent was still very simple, it was an independent little room that at least guaranteed basic privacy for a girl.

The Wolf Spirit Clan lived in the wild, always enduring the elements.

Though they were accustomed to such conditions, Song Yun’s gesture at this moment deeply touched Lang Xiaoran, warming her heart.

She felt that compared to the young men of the Beast Spirit Clan, Song Yun was much more considerate and cared for girls.

"Thank you, Song Yun, you are so thoughtful."

Lang Xiaoran stood in front of that independent little room and nodded to thank Song Yun, her brows and eyes revealing some shyness.

Seeing this, Lang Hai was infuriated.

If he had known this would happen, he would rather not have asked Song Yun to come help build the tents.

A hint of gloom appeared in his eyes as he motioned to a strong, dark-skinned young man beside him, whispered a few instructions, and then said to Song Yun: "Brother Song Yun, it looks like the sky is about to darken, we need to start a fire. Could I trouble you to go with Lang Qiang to gather some firewood."

Lang Hai’s tone was courteous, his face smiling, making it hard to find fault with him.

Song Yun smiled, stood up, and said: "Alright."

Lang Hai did not expect him to agree so readily, a surge of delight in his heart, and he said with a grin: "Then I’ll have to trouble you, Brother Song Yun."

He referred to him as brother so casually, as if Song Yun was his own sibling.

But looking at him like this, Song Yun felt nothing but disgust.

"Song Yun, follow me."

Lang Qiang glanced at Song Yun and stepped towards the forest.

Though he didn’t ride his mutant giant wolf, his pace wasn’t slow, quickly disappearing into the dense bushes.

"Xiaoran, I’ll be back soon."

Song Yun winked at Lang Xiaoran and quickly followed Lang Qiang.

Watching their figures fade into the distance, a sinister smile of triumph appeared on Lang Hai’s face as he secretly thought: "Kid, just a mere early SSS level, you dare to compete with me, a late SSS level, for a woman. Once Lang Qiang deals with you, let’s see if you dare be arrogant!"

Song Yun naturally knew Lang Hai’s intentions; if Lang Hai acted personally, he might take him somewhat seriously.

But with Lang Qiang at the mid-SSS level, to be honest, Song Yun didn’t really care.

He silently followed Lang Qiang, not speaking, wanting to see what Lang Qiang would do.

"There’s more firewood over here, let’s go this way."

"I’ve been here before, there’s a pine tree struck by lightning over there, perfect for starting a fire."

In truth, it’s easy to find firewood in the forest, but Lang Qiang did nothing and continued heading away from the camp.

Furthermore, he kept explaining things to Song Yun, as if fearing Song Yun might become suspicious and not follow.

They walked for a kilometer until the camp was out of sight, and Lang Qiang stopped.

He looked back at Song Yun, the friendly expression on his face turning cold and fierce, with a hint of disdain and threat in his eyes.
