Chapter 1669: Chapter 1671: Kobold Tribe’s Dramatic Change
In other words, that secret technique is most likely within these two tribes!
Although, for Ye Luo, merely having an axe, even without any special cultivation technique, he could still use it, right?
But Man Niu is different. Man Niu has a special physique, and his cultivation method is naturally unique as well, so ordinary cultivation techniques, no matter how powerful, might be entirely useless in Man Niu’s hands. The best way is to find the matching cultivation technique for Man Niu.
Otherwise, I fear that this Immortal Artifact-level giant axe in Man Niu’s hands could only serve as a decoration!
Compared to the Great Tang Empire, Ye Luo has much more freedom in Da Yue. Firstly, he doesn’t need to report to anyone about where he goes, because the Third Prince has always been used to being careless, and everyone is already used to him roaming around.
Secondly, Ye Luo’s identity as the Ninth Prince in the Great Tang Empire was initially given to him for a mission, essentially as a pawn. Although after Ye Luo’s strength and prestige improved, no one dared treat him as a pawn anymore, even granting him the title of Prince, most of Ye Luo’s time in the Great Tang wasn’t really very free.
But Da Yue is different. Ye Luo directly swapped identities with Da Yue’s Third Prince, and no one suspected his identity. Plus, the Demon Queen’s affection for the Third Prince meant Ye Luo could be a little willful and no one would bat an eye.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Ye Luo, as being restricted would always limit his development!
Like the Great Tang, Da Yue also possesses many secret realms and controls numerous small worlds. However, before exploring these, Ye Luo must first help Man Niu find that cultivation technique, only then can Man Niu settle in the Royal City for proper cultivation.
With a plan in mind, Ye Luo, without delay, made arrangements for Man Niu to stay at home comfortably and set out alone!
After all, Ye Luo has too many secrets, and only by traveling alone can he avoid some unnecessary trouble and already detected dangers.
This tribe of Kobolds and the Bearmen tribe are considered two major tribes among the Demon Clan, yet each has its own characteristics. The Kobold warriors have average abilities, but there are some special groups within their tribe with terrifying abilities, and few can fully understand them. Though there is information about the Kobold tribe in the Moon God Records, they are rarely given a mysterious and unfathomable evaluation.
As for the Bearmen tribe, they are much like the Minotaur tribe, renowned for body refinement.
Honestly, Ye Luo didn’t take this departure too seriously. In Ye Luo’s mind, with his strength, this trip would be easy, and he could effortlessly retrieve the secret technique for Man Niu.
But some things aren’t as simple as Ye Luo imagined!
The distance from the Royal City to the Kobold tribe is quite far, but fortunately, Ye Luo possesses the Xu Mi Zun, so it only took him a dozen uses to arrive at the outskirts of the Kobold tribe’s territory. However, as Ye Luo reached here, he felt an iron-blooded and murderous atmosphere!
It was as if the sky here was darker!
Ye Luo furrowed his brows; such a scene was far from normal!
Clearly, something must have happened here!
Ye Luo drew the Lingyun Sword and cautiously proceeded forward!
Although there are many bad things about the Kobold tribe, such as their fondness for invasion and bullying the weak, and average strength, they have a trait that the Demon King appreciates deeply, which is loyalty. It can be said that the Kobold tribe is one of the Demon King’s most favored tribes. Whenever there’s a war, the basic cannon fodder soldiers the Kobold tribe dispatches are numerous!
This is partly due to their large population, but it also reflects the Kobold tribe’s loyalty.
Because of this, the Kobold tribe received considerable economic support, leading to significant development here.
However, as Ye Luo delved deeper into the Kobold tribe’s territory, he didn’t encounter a single living soul!
The surrounding buildings were intact, but there was no one to be seen. This alone indicated that something had indeed taken place here!
Ye Luo’s pace was not slow, frowning and remaining on full alert. What on earth happened here?
The Kobold tribe is a major clan, so why hadn’t Ye Luo seen anyone despite passing several gathering points?
Suddenly, Ye Luo sensed some movement on his left. Without a hint of hesitation, he dashed toward that direction.
Soon, Ye Luo saw a small hill. The hill wasn’t tall, and from the outside, it didn’t seem peculiar. However, when Ye Luo inspected it with Clairvoyant Eye, he noticed something different. This small hill was actually an artificially constructed fake mountain, though crafted so meticulously that without careful observation, it would be hard to tell.
But that wasn’t the key point. The essential part was that Ye Luo finally saw living people!
Living Kobolds. Inside this hill, at least several hundred Kobolds were cramped together, each one with a look of anxiety, yet none dared to make a sound!
What’s going on?
Ye Luo was utterly puzzled but ultimately decided to open up this hill!
Inside the hill, there was only one passageway, and though it had been sealed, Ye Luo easily spotted it with the Clairvoyant Eye.
Ye Luo pushed with force and opened the door.
In an instant, the Kobolds inside the cave were all in utter panic, with some young men stepping in front to protect others. It was clear they were terrified, but Ye Luo couldn’t understand what they were so afraid of!
"Are you from the Kobold tribe?"
Ye Luo questioned directly, his voice echoing down the passage. Upon hearing this, those people visibly relaxed a bit but still remained vigilant.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
One of the Kobolds shouted loudly at Ye Luo.
Ye Luo didn’t bother to conceal anything, knowing the Kobolds were extremely loyal to the Royal Family, so he believed he could get the information he needed from them.
"I’m Ye Luo, the Demon Clan’s Third Prince!"
"The Third Prince? Has the Royal Family come to rescue us?"
"We’ve finally been saved! We’ve been hiding here for so many days, and at last, someone found us!"
"Everyone, calm down. Let’s first see if it’s really the Third Prince. If it’s those people in disguise, we’ll fight them with all we’ve got!"
Various noisy voices reached Ye Luo’s ears, and he understood that they had been attacked by an unknown force.
