Chapter 151: Ch 151: The Celesto Tribe
"You are the intruders?" The middle-aged man looked at Emrys and the others and asked coldly. Everyone could feel a powerful aura slowly rising from his body.
Emrys frowned. He looked at the weapons of these men. They were only ordinary wooden swords, blades, and spears. These people also wore strangely plain clothes. Except for their sturdy bodies, they did not seem threatening at all.
However, there was something in their bodies that was making him uncomfortable. There was something about these weapons that was extraordinary instead of ordinary.
"We are not invaders. We have no intention of invading your tribe. I wonder if you would like to lead us into your tribe to rest for a while?" Emrys looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and took a deep breath, trying his luck.
Mu Bailing told him that if he went to the native tribes of this world alone, they might think he was there to spy on them or steal from them. However, if he is with a team, they’ll more likely believe him because they will have an entire team in their hands to observe and assess. This show of transparency and cooperation would help to build trust and demonstrate that his intentions are genuine, thus increasing the chances of a peaceful and productive interaction with the tribes.
The middle-aged man in the lead looked at Emrys and the others. Then he suddenly frowned as if he sensed something on Emrys’s body. His face changed and his eyes immediately held respect for Emrys.
’What the?’
Emrys was surprised by their sudden change of expression. What happened just now?
"I can sense the aura of Saint Bone on you. You must have Saint Bone in your possession. Since you have a Saint Bone, follow us and we will lead you to our tribe." The middle-aged man looked at Emrys and said with a smile.
Saint Bone?
When did I have Saint Bone?
Emrys was surprised. But he suddenly remembered the strange bone he had obtained previously in the desolate land from the huge skeleton.
He took out the bone with silver patterns and saw the middle-aged man’s eyes lighting up.
Emrys recalled what Mu Bailing told him. She told him that if he could obtain a Saint Bone, it would make his goal easier. He can exchange the Saint Bone with the tribe for information about the Sunfire Heartseed.
At that time, Emrys asked her what is a Saint Bone.
She told him that Saint Bones are remnants of Ancient Experts who once cultivated in the Cosmic Cultivation System and fought against their fate, only to end up dead. The natives of this world call those people Saints.
She also told him that he would have to cover a long journey, he might end up finding a Saint Bone along the way.
Indeed, he did end up finding a Saint Bone along the way, and it was an accidental finding.
Emrys and his team started following the middle-aged man. Everyone on his team was nervous and excited at the same time. This was the first time they were meeting the natives of this world.
While they were moving, Emrys asked a few questions and came to know that the tribe of this middle-aged man was called the Celesto Tribe. It is one of the large tribes in this Level 1 area.
Emrys was not surprised when the middle-aged man spoke about the Level 1 area. The outsiders who entered this world for the very first time and spread knowledge about this world knew about the levels of areas only after interaction with the natives.
The name of this middle-aged man was Anzo Celesto which surprised Emrys a little bit. He heard a different kind of name after a very long time.
Very soon, they arrived before the Celesto Tribe. Although it was called a tribe, it was more like a small village.
There were not many people in this small village. There were only a few hundred of them, and half of them were elderly, women, and children.
"Anzo, who are these people?" At this moment, a robust middle-aged man walked out, his entire body emanated a formidable imposing aura.
Emrys’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he was slightly shocked in his heart.
This burly middle-aged man’s entire body contained a majestic energy. Judging from this energy, it was comparable to a powerful Seventh Step Warrior.
"Chief, these are all outsiders who come to explore our world. They want to enter the tribe to rest, so I brought them back." Anzo looked at the burly middle-aged man and said.
The burly middle-aged man sized up Emrys, but he didn’t let go of the wariness in his eyes. Some of the outsiders who come to explore the world would indeed enter some tribes, not just to rest for a while, but also to exchange for something they need. But some of them also attack the tribe and try to steal from them.
Fortunately, their tribe was not weak.
Suddenly, the burly middle-aged man’s pupils contracted, and his eyes were filled with shock and excitement. He looked at the Saint Bone in Emrys’s hand and said, "Your Saint Bone is not bad. It is even better than mine."
As he said, he also took out a saint bone. Both bones looked exactly the same, with silver patterns on the surface. It is just that the bone in the Chief’s hand was slightly smaller than Emrys’s.
The burly middle-aged man was secretly shocked. He looked at Emrys and the others and said, "I am the chief of the Celesto Tribe, Bohu Celesto. Speak clearly, why have you come to my tribe? What do you want from us? Since you’ve brought a Saint Bone, you must have a purpose."
Indeed, as the chief of a tribe, he was not stupid. It is clear that Emrys wants something from him and his tribe, and that’s why he comes to them.
"Why don’t we talk after resting for a while? We have covered a long journey and we are a little tired." Emrys wanted to immediately ask about the Sunfire Heartseed, but when he looked at the condition of his teammates, he suppressed his urges.
Chief Bohu was a reasonable person. He also noticed everyone’s condition and nodded his head, welcoming them into his village. Then he specially arranged a small courtyard for them.
The other people of the Celesto Tribe also looked at Emrys and the others with respect.
The small courtyard was located in the eastern direction of the Celesto Tribe. The surroundings were extremely quiet, and it could be considered a calm and perfect place to spend some time peacefully.
At night, a person named Nicos Celesto walked into the small courtyard with a friendly expression. He looked at Emrys and the others and shouted, "Everyone, it’s time for us to go out and eat."
Emrys and the others looked at each other, and a faint smile hung on their faces. They followed behind Nicos and walked out of the courtyard.
The people of the Celesto Tribe were surrounding a few bonfires, and there was a huge creature placed above each bonfire.
"Little brother, come here!" When Anzo saw Emrys and the others brought by the Nicos, he shouted excitedly. Chief Bohu was standing beside Anzo. He also nodded at Emrys and others friendly.
Emrys smiled and walked over to Chief Bohu and Anzo. With a calm expression, he asked, "Chief Bohu, what kind of creature are these? They are so huge?"
"These are Thunderclaw Rabbits that Cheif personally killed at Mountain Peak just to welcome you all. It is very rare for our Chief to personally hunt these beasts." Instead of Chief Bohu, Anzo looked at Emrys and explained with a smile.
When Emrys heard Anzo’s words, he couldn’t help but be slightly startled. He looked at Chief Bohu with a surprised expression.
According to the map given by Mu Bailing, the peak of this mountain was an extremely dangerous place where even Seventh Step Warriors might lose their lives. He did not expect Chief Bohu to go there just to hunt down some creatures to welcome them.
Emrys could guess that it must be due to the Saint Bone in his hand.
What surprised Emrys more were those huge creatures. Now that he looked at them closely, they were indeed rabbits, but huge. He did not expect to see such huge rabbits here.
"Little brother, I wonder what you want from us? I know you brought that Saint Bone to exchange something from us. In the history of our tribe, there have been a few times when our ancestors traded with outsiders like you. Most of them brought Saint Bones with them because they knew we could give them information or even a few treasures in exchange for Saint Bones. What do you want from us?" Chief Bohu looked at Emrys and again asked with anticipation.
Emrys looked at Chief Bohu seriously and finally exhaled. He knew it was time to state his purpose. It is just that he was slightly nervous, not sure whether this man knew about the Sunfire Heartseed or not. If he cannot give him information about the Sunfire Heartseed, his trip here will be wasted.
Mu Bailing doesn’t have much time left. He has to bring the Sunfire Heartseed back to her as soon as possible.
