Since the danger had been dealt with, Ye Ningze no longer had any reason to stay in this place.
Thus, Ye Ningze began to search for the way back to the base. However, in his haste to escape earlier, he was no longer sure where he was.
To find his way back, he needed to get back to the main road. After Ye Ningze's persistent efforts, he finally found the path back.
Indeed, ever since the demon beasts descended upon this world, the entire world had changed. The familiar roads had become extremely unfamiliar.
Ye Ningze slowly walked into the base, with Xiaobai following beside him. Xiaobai's aura was astonishing, causing everyone to hesitate.
How could ordinary people contend with the aura exuded by a high-level demon beast?
Ye Ningze had no choice but to have Xiaobai restrain its aura and then slowly enter the base.
The people in the base all retreated to the sides, looking at Ye Ningze with awe.
Ye Ningze was now the undisputed number one person in the base, so it was perfectly acceptable for them to look at him with such gazes.
"Brother."
A clear voice, like that of a yellow oriole, reached Ye Ningze's ears.
He turned his head and saw a young girl playfully hopping towards him.
However, upon seeing Xiaobai, the girl seemed hesitant to approach, clearly intimidated by Xiaobai's majestic and fierce appearance.
Ye Ningze immediately gave Xiaobai a gentle flick on the head and said to it:
"Restrain your aura, don't scare my sister."
Xiaobai immediately let out a wronged cry. Xiaobai thought it wasn't its fault.
After all, this was their nature, and the reason Ye Yuhan feared them was the inherently negative impression humans had of demon beasts.
Xiaobai could only lie down on the ground, obedient like a cat.
At the same time, Ye Ningze said to his sister, Ye Yuhan:
"Don't be afraid, this is a high-level demon beast I just subdued. Its name is Xiaobai. It wouldn't dare do anything to you, and it's quite docile."
After Ye Ningze finished speaking, Ye Yuhan finally mustered the courage to pat Xiaobai's head.
Xiaobai acted as if it greatly enjoyed the gesture. Seeing this, Ye Yuhan finally felt relieved.
After all, humans and demon beasts were natural enemies, so it was only natural for them to fear demon beasts.
"Xiaobai, if I'm not in this base in the future, protecting my sister will be your responsibility. I hope you can do this well."
After Ye Ningze said this, Xiaobai actually patted its chest in a very human-like manner.
It indicated that Ye Ningze could entrust this task to it, and it would complete it one hundred percent.
After a minor interlude, Ye Ningze, along with Xiaobai and Ye Yuhan, walked towards the depths of the base.
This time, he was going to meet the leader of the Martial Pavilion, a man named Su Mohan.
Su Mohan was a middle-aged man in his forties. Ye Ningze had learned through various channels that this person was not ordinary.
Human: Su Mohan
Cultivation Talent: A-class.
Swordsmanship Talent: B-class.
Strength Talent: C-class.
To be honest, such talent was already quite remarkable in the eyes of ordinary people.
But in Ye Ningze's eyes, it was not worth mentioning, as Ye Ningze himself was an exceptionally monstrous individual.
No matter how strong someone's talent was, it was nothing to show off in front of Ye Ningze.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master Su."
Su Mohan gently waved his hand and said to Ye Ningze:
"Young brother Ye Ningze, there's no need for politeness. You are a dragon among men, so there's no need to bother with formalities. How about we address each other as brothers?"
Originally, given Su Mohan's status and position, Ye Ningze would never have received such treatment.
However, Ye Ningze was now the number one person in the base, so the other party would naturally be more polite to Ye Ningze for reasons of sentiment, reason, and benefit.
The well-timed pleasantries were a tacit understanding between the two.
After the pleasantries, it was time to get down to business, so Ye Ningze directly asked Su Mohan:
"Pavilion Master Su, are you from a major base? I wish to go to a major base. Do you know of any way to get there?"
After hearing Ye Ningze's words, Su Mohan simply smiled and nodded, then said:
"I am indeed from a major base, and this major base is called the Sun Base. This base is even larger than ordinary major bases."
Ye Ningze knew he had finally found the right person, so he asked again:
"Does this base have any special characteristics?"
To go to this place, one must know the detailed information about it.
The "special characteristics" Ye Ningze was asking about were naturally those that differed from his current base.
After a moment, Su Mohan gave his answer:
"If you really want to talk about special characteristics, then only two words can describe its uniqueness: it's crowded. There are many experts, many demon beasts, abundant resources, and many opportunities, but also many dangers."
The other party seemed to say nothing, yet also seemed to have told Ye Ningze everything.
Ye Ningze nodded slightly and then curiously asked Su Mohan:
"Then, approximately how many people are there in this base? How many so-called experts are there, and who are they?"
Ye Ningze did not want to fight an unprepared battle, so asking such questions was to have Su Mohan tell him who was worth paying attention to.
Su Mohan smiled and shook his head, then said to Ye Ningze:
"Do you know how many people there are in the Sun Base?"
Ye Ningze gently shook his head. He was indeed not very familiar with this base.
"There are a total of fifteen million people. How many hidden experts do you think there are among these fifteen million? So, don't pay attention to the people in the open. To be honest, those people, although powerful, are the truly formidable existences that should be paid attention to, those hiding in the shadows."
When Ye Ningze heard the number fifteen million, he couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows.
After all, fifteen million was an incredibly terrifying number. Their current base had only a population of a few hundred thousand.
This meant that one major base was equivalent to several hundred small bases like theirs.
If that were the case, then they could not be judged by ordinary standards.
After all, it was quite normal for a few monsters to emerge from fifteen million people.
"How can I reach the Sun Base? I hope Pavilion Master Su can help me."
