Chapter 22 Tian'er... Don't compare yourself to your brother anymore!
In the west, in the towering, thousand-foot mountains.
"Chief, there's a problem at the Night Glow Tree base!"
"What's the problem? Speak!"
"Although the infiltrator has been killed, he triggered a beast horde before his death. Now, the ferocious beasts are drawn to the Glowing Tree and are attacking it relentlessly... The Glowing Tree stronghold is about to collapse! That lord has ordered you to send reinforcements immediately!"
"Agh! Damn bastards! Flame City made me a dog, and now Black Soil City wants me to be a dog too! Why?" Upon hearing the report, the chief roared, his single eye filled with rage.
The Black Demon Tribe has been established for many years, but has remained largely unknown.
Until a few years ago, a group of bandits discovered a mysterious sapling called the Night-Shining Tree in the deep mountains.
As a result, the intelligence was leaked, attracting a group of mysterious people.
The mysterious man approached the chief of the Black Demon tribe to discuss cooperation, but the chief naturally refused.
However, the other party overwhelmed the chieftain with overwhelming strength and revealed their identity.
It turns out that this person came from another massive base.
Black Soil City is a city that can rival Flame City!
Then, with the help of Black Earth City and relying on the Night-Shining Tree, the Black Demon Tribe's strength increased rapidly.
It quickly became a behemoth second only to Yan City.
However, the sudden rise of the Black Demon Tribe also attracted the attention of Xiao Ting, the city lord of Yan City.
On the one hand, they treated them as pawns, manipulating them at will; on the other hand, they were secretly investigating them.
They want to uncover the secret behind the rise of the Black Demon tribe.
Finally, the spies from Yan City found the Night-Shining Tree.
It was a mysterious place.
Having it can transform an ordinary person quickly!
even!
Someone in the Black Demon tribe awakened extraordinary abilities by leaning against a glowing tree!
But now, the people at the Yancheng base have actually stirred up a beast tide in order to spread the news.
Once the beast tide fully erupts, the location of the Night-Shining Tree will be completely exposed to Xiao Ting.
At that time, the Black Demon Tribe will simply not be able to withstand Xiao Ting's wrath!
At the same time, the immense treasure that is the glowing tree will also be taken away!
Thinking of this, the Great Chieftain's one eye shrank back, and he said in a cold voice, "Immediately send the Black Demon Squad to provide support!"
"That squad... has lost contact!"
"What did you say? What's going on?"
"Have you forgotten? They were sent out by you to deal with the Maple Leaf Tribe..."
"How is that possible? A tiny Maple Leaf tribe could be wiped out with a flick of the finger!"
"According to intelligence, after Xiao Yu was driven out of Yan City, he went to the Maple Leaf Tribe. Therefore, I suspect..."
"Xiao Yu! Ah, it's you again!"
Upon hearing this, the chief immediately had a guess in his mind.
There are only two Awakened in the entire Maple Leaf Tribe.
But those two little girls are too young, have too few resources, and need a long time to grow up.
Only Xiao Yu is a variable, always able to create all sorts of miracles.
Especially during that major battle a few years ago, he almost died at the hands of the enemy!
Thinking of this, the chieftain's single eye filled with hatred and killing intent...
However, he suddenly changed his mind and said coldly, "Go! Inform Yan City about this and ask Xiao Ting how to deal with his son breaking the rules he set."
He wanted to test whether Xiao Ting had found the location of the glowing tree.
One more thing, I heard that Xiao Yu was expelled from Yan City.
But Xiao Yu was, after all, Xiao Ting's son, so he dared not act rashly.
We must first test Xiao Ting's attitude.
If Xiao Ting really abandons this son, he will kill him without hesitation.
"As for the Night-Shining Tree, it is the key to the rise of my Black Demon Tribe! It is also my most important treasure for breaking free from the control of Flame City and Black Soil City! It must not be lost. Immediately dispatch my Black Demon Guards!"
"Hmph! Lord of Yan City! Lord of Heitu City! Your smugness won't last long!"
The chieftain pulled out two parchment scrolls from his robes. Looking at their contents, a flicker of excitement and greed flashed in his eyes. "Once I get what's inside, I can create another base! Then, Flame City and Black Soil City will both be annihilated!"
……
In Yan City, many people were waiting at the city gate.
They eagerly await the return of their young lord, who will bring them abundant water and food.
After all, many people haven't showered for days since water usage was halved!
Keep in mind, daytime temperatures can reach over 40 degrees Celsius!
They work hard every day, sweating profusely, but they can't even wash their bodies.
It was sticky all over, and every time you rubbed it, a thick layer of dirt would appear.
But a day and a night passed, and there was still no news of the young city lord's team.
It's like it never happened.
Until, Lord Xiao Ting suddenly announced that the young city lord Xiao Tian had encountered a beast tide in the wilderness.
All of them died in battle, sacrificing their lives heroically.
To commemorate the fallen warriors, City Lord Xiao Ting personally read a eulogy.
Accompanied by the young city lord Xiao Tian, they visited the families of the fallen soldiers one by one.
Thanks to Xiao Ting's actions, those people not only didn't resent him, but were extremely grateful.
After all, although her husband and son had died, they had received compensation from the city lord.
The deceased's family members stopped pursuing the matter, and although the others were very disappointed, they dared not say anything.
At this moment, inside the city lord's mansion.
"Finally, we've managed to get away with it!" Xiao Ting wiped the sweat from his forehead. He, a peak eighth-level expert, was quite overwhelmed dealing with the mess his youngest son, Xiao Tian, had made.
At this moment, he really missed his eldest son.
For more than ten years, his eldest son has shared his burdens in various ways and solved all his problems.
But the youngest son, Xiao Tian,...
"Father, Mother, it's all my fault!"
Seeing that his parents' expressions were not good, Xiao Tian immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake.
He was well-behaved, humbly admitted his mistakes, and looked like a good little boy.
Liu Ruyan watched from the sidelines, her emotions incredibly complex. She still remembered telling Xiao Yu two days ago, "You'll regret this! I'm waiting to see you kneel down and beg for forgiveness!"
But now, she didn't see Xiao Yu regretting it.
Instead, she saw first the scene of her fiancé, whom she thought was the best, kneeling down and admitting his mistake.
For a moment, Liu Ruyan was at a loss for words.
"Sigh... Tian'er, no one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes. You've done very well, there's no need to blame yourself." Seeing his youngest son's sincere repentance, Xiao Ting's slight displeasure instantly melted away, and he once again showed a warm smile, comforting him.
With that, he waved his hand and lifted Xiao Tian up from the air.
Feng Murong tenderly stroked Xiao Tian's head and gently comforted him, "Your brother has been through a lot in the wilderness since he was little, so it's normal that he understands how to survive in the wild. Tian'er... don't compare yourself to your brother in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian's face turned ashen.
He didn't want to compare himself to his brother.
The problem is, in this wasteland, food and water are everything!
Liu Ruyan's emotions were in turmoil.
Xiao Yu is crippled, so is Xiao Tian even worse than Xiao Yu?
"Fortunately, the Black Demon Tribe has been gone for quite some time, and the Maple Leaf Tribe should be completely gone. Yu'er... should go home now!" Xiao Ting looked towards the direction outside Yan City, his pupils flickering uncertainly.
He temporarily fooled those foolish civilians through various means of coercion and enticement.
However, he also publicly promised again that he would resolve the water source issue as soon as possible.
However, it was absolutely impossible to send the youngest son, Xiao Tian, to the wilderness to find water.
He could not allow Xiao Tian to fall into a second crisis.
We must get our eldest son, Xiao Yu, back as soon as possible to find a new water source!
Otherwise, the matter of 500 deaths in this battle will eventually become unmanageable!
Just as the family of three was feeling relieved, several blood-soaked figures finally returned to Yan City.
These people are returning from the Blackwind Forest.
"The young city lord knows absolutely nothing, yet he triggered a beast tide, killing five hundred people!"
"The city lord stood by and watched five hundred of us be slaughtered!"
Despite their own safety, the group continued talking as they walked, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.
"Weren't these the people who went into the mountains to explore with the young city lord? The city lord said they were all dead?"
"My God? Is this the truth? This beast tide was caused by Young City Lord Xiao Tian again, resulting in the deaths of another five hundred people? And the City Lord... clearly arrived in time, yet he stood by and watched them die?!"
"Hey, why did you say 'again'? But... I think it's probably true!"
"Yes! Look how badly they're injured. One of them even lost an arm and bled to death... They must have been so cruelly victimized that their obsession couldn't be extinguished, which is why they insisted on walking back to Yan City!"
"Now let's see how the city lord and his son explain themselves!"
As soon as they returned to the city, their identities were recognized.
As they walked back from the Blackwind Forest, they talked all the way, and countless people heard them.
In no time, countless people in Yan City knew about this and flocked to the City Lord's Mansion.
