Chapter 900: Wood Clan, Mu Sheng, Forbidden Land

"Yes!" Xia Hanjun replied without hesitation, walking straight to the giant bird gasping on the ground, preparing to pluck its feathers and gut it on the spot.

Seeing this, the indigenous warrior's eyes split with rage, and he shouted anxiously, "No! Stop immediately!"

Although his tone was slightly strange, it was identical to the language of the Primordial Era from the outside world.

"Stop for a moment." Hearing this, Qi Yuan grinned and stopped Xia Hanjun's next move. Finally, looking calmly at the alien in front of him, he threatened in an indifferent tone:

"Since you can understand my language, answer my questions honestly. Otherwise, your companion will be thrown into a pot immediately, and after it's cooked, I'll make sure you get a taste."

He had known that while this native of the Great Void looked primitive, there was a high probability that he could understand the common language of the Primordial Era.

After all, the Primordial Era was not that far from the opening of Chaos, and even if the language of the Cultivation World had changed somewhat during this period, it could not have developed to the point of being completely unintelligible.

As for why the other party had been spouting a bunch of gibberish, it was likely some kind of Command Seal used for beast taming, which did not mean verbal communication was impossible.

More importantly, since being captured, this prisoner had not cared about his own situation at all, but instead frequently looked at the giant bird not far away with a worried expression, clearly deeply concerned for his battle pet.

The facts were indeed as Qi Yuan had expected; just a little threat to the giant bird's life was enough to make the prisoner obediently submit.

Hearing the blatant threat, the alien's face showed both shock and fear. He remained silent for a long while before nodding powerlessly and gritting his teeth, "Detestable invader, what do you want to ask?"

"Invader?" Hearing this title, Qi Yuan frowned slightly and asked with some confusion, "My companion and I are just passing through. Why did you attack us directly and treat us as invaders?"

On the other side, Xia Hanjun also leaned in, her expression filled with curiosity.

"You've already run all the way here, what else would you be if not invaders?" The captured alien sneered, his face full of anger, and said, "This area has always been the territory of our Wood Clan. No matter what schemes you Jin Clan thieves are plotting, you will never succeed!"

Jin Clan? Qi Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "Why do you think we are the Jin Clan?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Seeing that someone was still playing dumb, the Wood Clan warrior's anger became even more apparent, and he fearlessly exposed them, "Your companion is wearing golden clothes all over; how can you say you two aren't from the Jin Clan?"

Golden clothes? Qi Yuan instinctively glanced at Xia Hanjun beside him, seeing that she was indeed wearing a lightweight and exquisite metal armor. It looked beautiful and quite extraordinary, and it certainly had something to do with "gold."

Of course, that was not the point. The point was that through these words, he learned that his current location was the territory of the Wood Clan, and that there was a Jin Clan outside the Wood Clan, and the relationship between the two clans was quite tense.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan couldn't be bothered to explain and asked directly, "What is your name? With your level of strength, what position do you hold within the Wood Clan?"

"My name is Mu Sheng." Facing this question, the Wood Clan warrior proudly puffed out his chest and answered earnestly, "I am among the weakest in the clan; I haven't even achieved Awakening. There are countless Wood Clan warriors stronger than me!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the two of them and added solemnly, "You Jin Clan brats had better retreat from here honestly. Otherwise, when more Wood Clan warriors arrive upon hearing the news, you won't have a way out!"

Qi Yuan was naturally not intimidated by the other party's empty threats. After pondering for a moment, he asked the most important question at the moment directly: "Then do you know where to go to find the great dao divine tree?"

Hearing this question, Mu Sheng's expression changed slightly, and he immediately became vigilant, asking suspiciously, "Isn't the great dao divine tree growing perfectly fine in the Forbidden Land… No, why would you, a Jin Clan spy, ask such a strange question? What kind of schemes are you plotting?"

Forbidden Land? Qi Yuan raised an eyebrow, feeling very unfamiliar with this new term that had suddenly appeared. Before he could ask in detail, a sharp cry from Xia Hanjun reached his ears: "Who?!"

Before the words faded, the surrounding forest seemed to come alive, suddenly erupting with an extremely rich vitality. Countless vines crawled out from under the trees and from the ground, like snakes, densely winding towards the two of them.

"Not good!" Seeing this, Qi Yuan's expression turned grim. He quickly took out the ningyuan sword, which had not been used for a long time, from his storage space and slashed towards the vines.

Perhaps due to the suppression of the Great Void, the once lively ningyuan sword was now completely silent, its entire body dull and lusterless. The only thing that was effective was the sharpness of the long sword itself.

Due to the loss of spiritual power enhancement, he could only rely on the strength of his Physical Body to wield the sword. Even using all his strength, he only left shallow sword marks on the winding vines.

Seeing Qi Yuan struggling and about to be submerged by the sky full of vines, Xia Hanjun's Battle Intent erupted. She tapped her toes and flashed in front of him like lightning, her slender hands forming fists, blasting heavily towards the vines in all directions.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!! Her delicate and small fists erupted with pure, extreme power, turning into torrents of terrifying Protective Aura. Wherever they passed, those indestructible vines shattered and broke apart, and the surroundings were immediately cleared.

However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, more branches and vines poured out from all parts of the forest, surrounding the two of them layer by layer in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Xia Hanjun's pretty face turned cold, and Evil Qi lingered in her star-like eyes. She raised her hand and gripped, and a red-gold battle halberd, a zhang long, appeared out of thin air, sweeping out towards the overwhelming vegetation and vines.

Puchi— Puchi— This strike was heavy and powerful, capable of repelling an army. Wherever the halberd blade reached, the sky full of wooden branches and grass debris fell rustlingly, and in an instant, this round of attacks was completely dissipated.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of confusion appeared on his face. Wasn't it said that one couldn't use storage items in the Great Void… Where did this woman pull that weapon from?
