Chu Tian lowered his head, completely ignoring the person shouting.
In his memories from the game, Chu Tian knew they were heading to Wan Beast City to participate in an event called the Wan Beast Sacrifice. This event was very significant, held only once every hundred years. It was no wonder he encountered so many people as he neared Wan Beast City; they were all coming for the grand大会.
More importantly, the side quest Chu Tian had received offered a reward of 2000 Reputation points. This was Humanoid race Reputation, not for a specific region or individual. Chu Tian currently only had a little over 100 Humanoid race Reputation points. Even in his previous life, the highest racial Reputation anyone had achieved was only a little over 3000 points. After completing this quest, wouldn't he be able to enjoy various discounts in all the major human cities? It was known that reaching 5000 Reputation points would even grant a title. At that point, even players with a "red name" could roam freely in major human cities, with guards showing them utmost respect.
"Little beast... release Young Master Ba at once!"
Another fierce roar finally broke Chu Tian's train of thought. He glanced up at the person shouting, a middle-aged man. Chu Tian couldn't judge his exact age. In his game memories, he knew that these mixed-blood scoundrels could easily live over three hundred years. Even ordinary humans, if all went well, could live to two hundred. Those so-called pure-blooded demonic beasts had lifespans of over a thousand years, far exceeding that of humans on Blue Star.
"Who are you calling a beast?" Chu Tian asked, feigning surprise.
"A beast is calling you!" the person on the opposite side replied by rote.
"Oh..." Chu Tian nodded, saying with satisfaction, "You at least have self-awareness, knowing you're a beast."
Upon hearing his words, the person's gaze turned even colder. However, he didn't lash out immediately, instead staring intently at Chu Tian. Chu Tian stared back. This person was not simple. His vitality was abundant, and his gaze was sharp. His eyes were like a falcon fixing on its prey; if Chu Tian showed even the slightest weakness, he would likely face a fatal blow.
The youths who had been trembling in fear of Chu Tian earlier had now regained their composure.
"Kid, you're finished. This is Lie Jinshan of the Sky Cloud Eagle Sparrow tribe! The fifth strongest warrior in the clan! I advise you to release Young Chief Lie Qi quickly and kneel to confess."
"No... you should kneel and kowtow, then commit suicide!"
Chu Tian scanned his surroundings. Most of the people surrounding him were human-beast hybrids, while the rest were pure-blooded humans. However, these cowards stood behind the hybrids, subservient and displaying utter meekness. Among these individuals, Lie Jinshan indeed exuded the most powerful aura. However, he was only about the same as Old Yang. Old Yang's restrained mastery of "Vibration of Strength" could not be gauged by mere aura.
"Who sent the distress signal?" Suddenly, a voice echoed from outside the encirclement. Three figures walked in. To be precise, it should be one beast and two people. Chu Tian felt no human aura from the person walking in front. The two behind were pure-blooded humans. Those two were powerhouses... at least stronger than Lie Jinshan.
Lie Jinshan glanced over, his expression changing. He quickly dismounted and, bowing his head, said to them, "The Sky Cloud Eagle Sparrow tribe encountered trouble. Sending a signal disturbed the revered Saint Tribe. We beg the honored one not to blame us!"
Seeing this, Chu Tian almost burst out laughing. Lie Jinshan, who had been so arrogant moments ago, instantly turned into a timid mouse. The others were no different. They all dismounted and knelt on the ground. The pure-blooded humans had their heads buried so deep in the sand, it was a miracle they could breathe.
The leading figure among the three newcomers waved his hand and said, "You may all rise. The Sky Cloud Eagle Sparrows and our Long-Armed Ape tribe have been on good terms for generations. Since you've encountered danger, it's only natural for us to come and see. However..."
The person spoke, looking at Chu Tian, and continued, "A mere human... Hmph... Interesting..."
"Interesting, your ass! A beast came out to show off." Chu Tian's light voice echoed in everyone's ears.
These people, who had been looking at him with mockery, were now filled with shock and terror. The next moment, they expected the pure-blooded demonic beast powerhouse from the Long-Armed Ape tribe to erupt in fury and suppress Chu Tian.
But they never expected this human brat. After uttering those words lightly, he let out a roar and attacked first.
"Get down!" Chu Tian's shout was like thunder from the nine heavens, its shockwaves sweeping in all directions. The sound carried a trace of a dragon's roar, causing the mixed-bloods to feel a sharp pain in their heads and a suffocating pressure in their chests. They spat out mouthfuls of blood, clutching their heads and screaming, feeling as if their heads were about to explode.
"Little beast... you dare to be disrespectful to a revered Saint Tribe member..." Lie Jinshan, whether he was brain-dead or wanted to show off in front of the so-called Saint Tribe, stepped forward to block Chu Tian. The "Saint Tribe" was what these hybrids called the pure-blooded demonic beast races. "Revered one" was a form of address; regardless of whether they were powerful or not, even newly born pure-blooded demonic beasts were addressed as "revered ones."
"Scram!" Chu Tian's previous shout had already utilized the "Might of the Azure Dragon" ability. Now, as soon as he spoke, he activated his soul secret technique, and an indistinct arrow directly pierced through Lie Jinshan's forehead.
*Splat*
The fellow's head instantly exploded. His headless body continued to lunge towards Chu Tian before finally collapsing onto the ground. Everything happened so quickly that even Chu Tian was momentarily stunned. The soul power infused with the might of the Azure Dragon was too effective against these mixed-blood scoundrels! By simply activating the soul secret technique, he could easily shatter their will.
"Haha..." The Long-Armed Ape tribesman, upon witnessing this, burst into laughter. "I just came over on a whim to take a look, and I've encountered a human with such powerful soul force. Kneel down and accept the master-servant contract, become my servant! I can give you anything you want!"
Chu Tian looked at the fellow inexplicably. Was he brain-dead? He actually wanted to take him as a servant. Were those two human experts also his subordinates? Chu Tian's eyes darted around, and he said with a smile, "Anything I want?"
The person nodded. "Naturally!"
"Alright!" Chu Tian nodded. Seeing Chu Tian agree, the other party showed an expected expression. However, Chu Tian hadn't finished speaking. He raised a foot and stepped on the headless corpse's back, adopting a casual demeanor, and continued, "I want you to come over here and lick my shoes clean!"
The Long-Armed Ape tribesman, who had been full of pride, froze upon hearing Chu Tian's words.
"You're seeking death..." As he spoke, he took a step forward, his arms spreading wide, his roaring voice echoing through the heavens. His upper body suddenly bulged, and the muscles in his arms swelled. An aura different from human erupted, instantly soaring. The beastly aura radiated outwards. The humans and mixed-blood scoundrels kneeling on the ground were once again blown to and fro.
At this moment, Chu Tian also cast his "Detection Technique." As expected, the detection failed on this so-called pure-blooded demonic beast. This fellow's entrance was quite impressive! Judging by his aura, he was incredibly formidable! However... Chu Tian sensed an aura from him that was much weaker than the Level 4 demonic beast, the "Fire Eye Gu Toad," he had dealt with before. Was this the level of the pure-blooded demonic beast race? Chu Tian's heart posed the question.
In reality, he didn't know that the Level 4 demonic beast, the "Fire Eye Gu Toad," was already a very formidable demonic beast in the Sea of Death. The highest classification for demonic beasts was Level 12, making a Level 4 demonic beast a strong entity among them. Of course, this was an individual level. Just like the Golden Ant King was only a Level 6 demonic beast, while the Golden Ants themselves were just Level 1. However, the Fire Eye Gu Toad, facing the Golden Ant army, would flee without needing the Ant King or guards to intervene. Chu Tian felt the Fire Eye Gu Toad was weak, mainly because it was in a weakened state after recently laying eggs. If he had encountered a Fire Eye Gu Toad in its prime, Chu Tian might not have won so easily.
"The revered Saint Tribe member is too powerful, this aura is terrifying."
"My heavens, it's so fortunate to witness the revered Saint Tribe member take action."
Those who were thrown about on the ground still remembered to act like sycophants. Chu Tian was furious. Why would they choose to be dogs instead of humans? When did humans need to grovel and beg to others? These lickspittles had completely disgraced humanity. Dammit, even without the quest reward, he would straighten them out! "Saint Tribe? Revered one? Pure-blooded demonic beasts, right? Let me show you all, you are just a bunch of beasts!"
Now... Chu Tian stared at the guy opposite him, his eyes turning cold.
