Chapter 302 Not Easy to Foole [Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets]
The lord pressed Isabella into the special metal shackles binding her hands and feet, and the shackles clicked open and fell to the ground.
Without the support of her shackles, Isabella, already severely injured and weak, went limp and fell forward.
Xu Feng's mind stirred slightly, and Morley quickly helped Isabella up.
Isabella struggled to lift her head and look at the mysterious and powerful figure who was so close to her, who had saved her, and who claimed to be the "Supreme Envoy" of the Rakshasa clan.
His face was shrouded in a faint, eerie aura belonging to the Rakshasa race, making it difficult to see clearly.
But those eyes...
Isabella was startled.
Those were eyes as deep as the starry sky and as calm as a frozen pool, unlike any Rakshasa she had ever seen.
Even the best disguises can conceal a hint of malevolence, cruelty, or allure in the eyes of the Rakshasa.
And in those eyes, there was only pure, cold rationality.
And a kind of... indescribable, detached indifference, as if looking down upon all living beings from the clouds.
"Women from the Campbell family?"
Xu Feng lowered his head and spoke in the tone befitting a high-ranking envoy of the Rakshasa clan, his voice low and hoarse through the disguise.
"Your bones are indeed tough enough. I hope your body can be as tough as your mouth, and withstand the trials to come."
Isabella's blue eyes flashed with an indomitable rage. Despite her weakness, she gritted her teeth and growled, "Bah! Kill me if you want! You want to use me for your evil experiments? Dream on!"
Xu Feng secretly praised him, thinking that this person indeed had a fiery temper.
He said no more, as if he didn't care about her words at all, and turned to You Po, saying, "I've taken the person away. You all have a good job of managing the affairs of the fortress."
The search for clues regarding the key must not be relaxed!
"Respectfully seeing off the envoy!"
Youpo and the others bowed again.
Xu Feng didn't linger. He enveloped Isabella and Mori with his blood and qi, transforming into a streak of gray-black light that shot towards the outside of Obsidian City, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Only after the escaping light completely disappeared did You Po and the others straighten up, their faces filled with shock: "They...can fly!"
"Elder Youpo, isn't this Golden Eclipse Envoy... a bit too much...?" A mid-level lord hesitated, wanting to speak but then stopped.
"Be careful what you say!"
Youpo gave him a stern look and lowered her voice.
"How can we presume to know about the affairs of the Holy Land? His strength is unfathomable, and perhaps... the Holy Land's style of doing things has indeed changed in recent years."
Give the order: what happened today must not be told to anyone.
In particular, the news of Bloodthorn's death and the prisoners being taken away was reported in a unified manner.
"Tell me about Bloodthorn dying from a cultivation deviation, and that human prisoner... he's already dead from torture."
"yes!"
Youpo took a deep breath: "A flying envoy..."
'
A smirk played on her lips: "Such a powerful individual is probably not far from reaching the Star God Realm. Making friends with him, even at a cost, is worthwhile!"
A desolate valley hundreds of miles from Obsidian City.
Xu Feng descended with his escape light, found a secluded cave, and casually set up a star array illusion.
Immediately, Mori quickly placed Isabella on the dry stone ground and began to treat her wounds.
Isabella struggled to sit against the stone wall.
But her injuries were too severe, and the movement aggravated her wounds, causing her to groan and break out in a cold sweat, yet she stubbornly refused to fall.
She continued to stare intently at Xu Feng with those blue eyes that were filled with vigilance, hatred, and a hint of confusion, as if trying to see right through him.
Xu Feng shed his disguise as a Rakshasa, revealing his slightly chubby appearance.
Upon seeing this, Isabella's pupils contracted sharply, her expression filled with astonishment and uncertainty: "You—you're not a Rakshasa?! Who are you? What is your purpose?"
Her Common Tongue had a distinct British accent, but she spoke it very fluently.
Xu Feng did not answer immediately, but walked up to her and squatted down.
This action caused Isabella to tense up instantly, like a startled female leopard.
Despite being weak, he still adopted a guarded posture.
"Don't be nervous," Xu Feng said calmly in perfect English. "If I wanted to harm you, I could have simply killed you in Obsidian City, or taken you away for torture. Why go through all that trouble?"
Isabella did not relax, her eyes still sharp: "Then why did you impersonate an envoy of the Rakshasa clan?"
"Save me... What are you plotting now? You're also human? Which faction are you with?"
"I am indeed a human."
Hsu Feng readily admitted it.
"As for why I saved you... you can think of it as me just saving you because I didn't like that bastard named Bloodthorn."
With that, Xu Feng got up and sat down to the side, starting to eat and drink.
At the same time, he took out some medical supplies and began to prepare to treat Isabella's wounds.
"The remnants of the Soul-Eating Lock on your body are quite troublesome; it will take me some time to completely remove them."
Now, answer a few questions for me.
Isabella's wariness was not completely eliminated.
But at least the other party is a human being.
This slightly reduced her hostility towards Xu Feng.
She paused for a moment, then said, "Ask away."
"What's your full name? And what's your relationship with Campbell Jean, the third chairman of the Earth Martial Alliance?" Xu Feng asked the question he was most concerned about.
A flicker of pride and deep longing flashed in Isabella's eyes, and her voice lowered slightly: "Isabella Campbell, Speaker Campbell Jean... is my great-grandmother."
really!
Xu Feng understood.
No wonder he's so assertive; he truly is a descendant of that legendary speaker.
"How did you end up in the hands of the Rakshasa clan? And deep in this Shiva region?" Xu Feng continued to ask, while continuing to heal his wounds.
Isabella's face showed resentment and a trace of lingering fear: "I came to the Dimensional Realm Battlefield No. 13 with the family's exploration team to train and seek opportunities."
Three months ago, near the Sighing Swamp in the southeastern part of the Shiva region, we were ambushed by an elite hunting party of the Rakshasa tribe...
The group was scattered, and I was captured.
They wanted to take me back as a key prisoner to extract information or use me as leverage.
That Bloodthorn was the foreman in charge of escorting me back to Obsidian City, he...
""
Humiliation and murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and she didn't say anything more, but Xu Feng could imagine that experience.
"Where are the rest of your family's exploration team? Any news?" Xu Feng asked.
Isabella's eyes dimmed for a moment, then she shook her head: "I don't know, the situation was too chaotic at the time..."
I hope they can escape.
She looked up at Xu Feng: "You—who are you? Why are you here? And why are you impersonating an envoy of the Rakshasa clan?"
After treating the last serious wound on her body, Xu Feng withdrew his hand and took a moment to calm himself down.
Using the power of the divine tree and pure blood essence to deeply heal others takes a considerable toll.
"My name is Yu Mu, and I come from Daxia."
Xu Feng gave a brief introduction.
"I have some private business to attend to in the Shiva region. I'm impersonating an envoy of the Rakshasa clan... just to take a shortcut and get some things I need from their storeroom."
He did not elaborate on his specific purpose and means, but the names "Da Xia" and "Yu Mu" made Isabella's eyes flicker slightly.
Great Xia is one of the major powers in the East of the Earth and an important member of the Martial Alliance.
Generally speaking, the people of Daxia are relatively mild-mannered and are considered one of the more friendly factions among the various powers.
"Thank you for saving me, Yu Mu."
Isabella solemnly thanked them in Chinese.
However, her tone was still somewhat stiff.
"The Campbell family will remember your kindness. Once I recover from my injuries and contact the family, I will be richly rewarded."
"We'll talk about reporting it later," Xu Feng waved his hand. "What are you planning to do now? Go back to Earth? Go find your family's exploration team? Or go to the Eagle Alliance's base?"
Isabella said firmly, "I must find the family's lost group first!"
If he's alive, I want to see him; if he's dead... I want to see his body!
Moreover, the Rakshasa tribe ambushed us; we can't just let that go!
Xu Feng glanced at her.
Although the girl's injuries have been stabilized by herself, it will take her a long time to fully recover her combat strength.
Moreover, she was all alone in this chaotic Shiva region, where the risk was extremely high.
"How much do you know about the Shiva region, especially the territory of the Jade Tooth Elephant Clan and the Saber-Toothed Demon Ape Clan?" Xu Feng suddenly asked.
Isabella paused for a moment, then pondered, "The Jade Tooth Elephant Clan is in the Sacred Elephant Valley in the southeast, near the Sighing Swamp. That's where we were attacked."
Their clan is said to be rather closed off and xenophobic, but they are very powerful.
The saber-toothed demon ape tribe lives in the Raging Rift in the northwest. They are naturally violent and warlike, and have a very poor relationship with the Rakshasa tribe, with frequent clashes.
Why are you asking this?
"Is she right?" Xu Feng asked Mori in a foreign language.
Morley nodded: "That's right."
Isabella, standing to the side, looked at Xu Feng in surprise. She still couldn't understand how this Great Xia warrior had subdued this Rakshasa.
Xu Feng pondered for a moment, then looked at Isabella: "I need to take care of some business near the territory of the Jade Tooth Elephant Clan."
If it's on my way, I can give you a ride and help you find out about your people.
Of course, the journey won't be peaceful. The Rakshasa clan may still be searching for you, and other forces also have ill intentions. You'll need to disguise yourself. I'll give you time to consider.
Isabella answered almost without hesitation: "I'll go with you!"
She is still recovering from her injuries, and going out alone would be tantamount to suicide.
Although he couldn't see through this mysterious young man from the Great Xia Dynasty, he was powerful, had miraculous methods, and had saved him.
Let's just say it's the most reliable thing to rely on right now.
More importantly, the other party was also heading towards the Jade Tooth Elephant Clan, which was exactly the area she wanted to investigate.
"Okay," Xu Feng nodded, "You can stay here and rest for a couple of days."
I will help you remove the remnants of the Soul-Eating Lock as soon as possible. Once you can move, we will set off.
He walked to the entrance of the cave, found a place to sit down, and began to regulate his breathing and recover.
The cave quieted down, with only Isabella's gradually steady breathing and the occasional crackling of the campfire.
After Morley finished tidying up Isabella, he sat down not far from Xu Feng, looking very respectful.
This made Isabella increasingly puzzled.
But because she was seriously injured, she eventually lost the will to investigate and fell into a deep sleep.
three days later.
An inconspicuous gray-black streak of light quietly descended in the southeast of Obsidian City.
The outer edge of a vast, damp area where a swamp meets a forest, shrouded in a light white mist.
This is the edge of the "Sighing Swamp".
The legendary "Sacred Elephant Valley" of the Jade Tooth Elephant Clan is hidden deep within this vast swamp.
Xu Feng reverted to his disguise as a slightly chubby young man, concealing his aura.
Isabella wore an inconspicuous leather armor, covered by a hooded cloak.
On a towering tree, Xu Feng stood suspended in mid-air, while Mori stood on the trunk beside him.
Under the tree, Isabella cautiously observed her surroundings.
"It's difficult to enter the Sacred Elephant Valley using ordinary methods," Mori whispered to Xu Feng. "The Jade Tooth Elephant Clan rarely interacts with the outside world, holds themselves in high esteem, and considers themselves descendants of the ancient sacred elephants. They are powerful and united."
Even the Rakshasa race would not easily provoke them unless absolutely necessary.
They believe in power and ancient traditions, and they may not easily accept outside "envoys," even those from the so-called "ancestral land of the White Stone Mountains" or the "Upper Clan."
Here, everything is decided by strength and actual interests.
In particular, the current Elephant King is a powerful being who has reached the level of a Limit Lord, giving the entire Jade Tooth Elephant Clan a great deal of confidence.
Xu Feng nodded.
Forcing one's way in or swaggering in as an "envoy" to knock on the door would probably be inappropriate.
Since the Jade Tooth Elephant Clan is closed off and arrogant, the previous "Golden Erosion Envoy" act may not work here, and may even have the opposite effect.
"Let's start by grabbing a tongue" to understand their breathing characteristics.
Since the soft ones are not easy to eat, let's first see how big the hard ones are.
If their internal defenses are strong and they are full of experts, then we'll have to find another way.
If... given the opportunity... one might as well just kill and take the property.
Hsu Feng made a decision.
He told Isabella and Morley to stay where they were and hide.
He then silently slipped into the misty swamp ahead.
The swamp is fraught with danger, with poisonous insects, miasma, and lurking swamp beasts appearing one after another.
But it poses no threat to Xu Feng.
He patiently searched, avoiding areas with obvious sentries and suspected elephant patrol routes.
About half an hour later, he found a lone member of the Jade Tooth Elephant Clan at the edge of a swamp covered with giant ferns.
This is a young Jade-tusked Elephant.
It is nearly three meters tall and its entire body is covered with a thick skin that is pale gold and has a warm, jade-like luster.
Two curved, upward-pointing ivory tusks, as white as jade, emitted a faint glow in the dim light, their aura clearly reaching the level of a low-level lord.
It is bathing in the mud.
Similar to elephants, these tusked elephants also take mud baths.
Xu Feng did not disturb it, but waited patiently.
Just as the elephant warrior, having finished his bath and slightly relaxed, turned to return, a star array was quietly activated, interfering with his senses, and his invisibility belt was activated.
Xu Feng's figure appeared like a ghost behind the Jade Tooth Elephant, and the shocking mental impact was launched, piercing straight into its sea of consciousness!
The elephant warrior, a low-level lord, felt a "buzz" in its head, as if it had been hit by a giant hammer. Its consciousness blurred instantly, and its massive body swayed.
Xu Feng seized the opportunity to leap up, his hands moving like lightning, his palms precisely slicing into several demonic energy nodes and nerve plexuses on the side of its neck!
Boom!
It was accompanied by a muffled thud.
"Well----"
The elephant warrior didn't even have time to scream before everything went black and he collapsed to the ground.
Xu Feng quickly dragged him into the depths of the nearby dense forest.
Only after reaching a distance of five kilometers did he quickly and meticulously scan the body's structure and the characteristics of its qi and blood fluctuations using his mental power.
Details such as the texture of ivory and the feel of skin.
About twenty minutes later.
Standing in place is a "young jade-tusked elephant" that is nearly three meters tall, with a pale gold body, white ivory, and a calm demeanor.
Apart from his eyes still retaining Xu Feng's unique calm and profound gaze, his appearance and aura were almost identical to the unconscious one on the ground.
However, it's noticeable that "Xu Feng" is significantly "thinner".
Xu Feng nodded in satisfaction, then carefully checked it again to confirm that there were no major flaws.
Only then did they slaughter and store the jade-tusked elephant.
He then trudged back to Morley and Isabella's hiding place.
"Don't be afraid!"
When Mori saw "Xu Feng" returning from afar, he was startled and instinctively wanted to attack, but Xu Feng stopped him from a distance with a shout.
The two men stared in shock at Xu Feng's new appearance, their eyes wide with amazement.
"The plan has changed," Xu Feng said to the two. "Since the Jade Tooth Elephant Clan is arrogant and xenophobic, I plan to disguise myself as an inspector from a distant branch or secret lineage of their clan."
They entered under the guise of inspecting the clan's territory and assessing the abilities of the younger generation, and then acted according to the circumstances.
Let's see if we can access their archives or extract the information we need.
He looked at Isabella: "You need to disguise yourself as my... well, spoils of war" or "servant".
Mori, too, disguised himself as a servant of a foreign race that I had subdued.
Remember, speak less, observe more, and if things go wrong, follow my instructions.
Isabella nodded in response.
Although she felt the plan was somewhat risky, after witnessing Xu Feng's methods, she chose to trust him.
Morley had no objections whatsoever.
Xu Feng began to disguise the two of them.
He used herbs and special pigments to alter Isabella's skin color and some facial features.
She looked more like a mixed-race person or a descendant of a small tribe, common in the Shiva region, and her demeanor was somewhat toned down.
Mori remained unchanged, displaying the characteristics of the Rakshasa race.
"Let's go."
Xu Feng spoke, his voice deep and resonant, carrying the unique nasal resonance of the Jade Tooth Elephant Clan.
The three of them immediately headed towards the Valley of the Holy Elephant.
The entrance to the Sacred Elephant Valley is far more magnificent and spectacular than the Dharaja base.
This is a vast valley surrounded by ring-shaped mountain ranges and huge ancient trees.
The valley is rich in spiritual energy, with babbling streams and lush vegetation.
Rare and exotic plants grow everywhere.
Two ivory-shaped peaks, resembling towering jade pillars, guard the entrance to the valley.
Deep, resonant elephant calls could be heard from time to time within the valley.
At the entrance to the valley, there were elephant warriors, all of whom were dressed in simple bone armor and had a fierce aura. They were at least at the level of beast generals.
Beyond them, buildings constructed from massive white stones and logs, exuding a rugged and primitive beauty, dot the valley.
Many of the large jade-tusked elephants were either strolling leisurely, drinking water by the stream, or using their trunks to pick up large chunks of ore for some kind of primitive tempering.
The air was filled with a peaceful, profound, and subtly dignified atmosphere.
This is the settlement of the Jade Tooth Elephant Clan—Sacred Elephant Valley.
Xu Feng swaggered to the valley entrance with Morley and Isabella.
"Halt! Outsiders, stop!"
A captain of the elephant clan guards, whose aura was comparable to that of a high-ranking beast general, immediately stepped forward on alert, raised his long trunk, and shouted in a deep voice.
At the same time, his gaze swept warily over Mori and Isabella behind Xu Feng.
Xu Feng stopped, raised his head slightly, and displayed the dignified and authoritative demeanor befitting a "superior" and "fellow clansman".
He spoke calmly in the pure, foreign common language: "I am Moro, the patrol envoy of a branch of the White Stone Mountains."
By secret order of the Elders, they were tasked with inspecting the defenses of this lower realm, assessing the new generation, and examining the resource reserves and offerings made in recent years.
These two are servants and spoils of war that I acquired along the way.
Upon hearing this, the guard captain dared not be negligent, but duty called upon him to cautiously inquire, "Do you have any credentials or tokens?"
Xu Feng snorted coldly, his eyes looking down at him: "A secret patrol order, why would it need an ordinary token?"
My strength is the proof!
If you don't believe me, you can go and inform the current clan elder or the guard commander!
"Can you take responsibility for delaying important matters of the Elders' Council?"
His tone was forceful and confident, clearly conveying the message, "My status is special, you're not high enough, don't waste your breath."
Attitude.
The captain of the guard was intimidated by this aura, and seeing the impeccable elephant-like features and bloodline aura of the other party, most of his doubts disappeared.
He knew that the gate to the celestial realm had opened wide and that people from the upper realm were coming.
Rumors had long circulated within the clan that a special envoy from the upper realm would arrive soon.
I just didn't expect it to come so quickly!
This person might indeed be a grumpy inspector from some reclusive branch of the family.
"Please wait a moment, messenger, I will inform the commander immediately!"
The guard captain dared not stop them any longer and signaled his men to make way.
He then turned and ran quickly into the valley to report the incident.
Before long, an even larger elephant tribe leader, whose aura had reached the level of a low-level lord, who was clad in bone armor inlaid with gems and whose ivory bore battle marks, strode over with several elite warriors.
The commander's eyes were sharp as he sized Xu Feng up and down.
He glanced at Mori and Isabella, lingering for a moment on Isabella, the human, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
But it quickly subsided.
"A branch of the White Stone Mountains? A messenger of Moro?"
The elephant tribe leader spoke, his voice like muffled thunder.
"The 'White Stone Mountains'... As far as I know, that branch was severed three hundred years ago due to a calamity. You are definitely not an envoy of my clan!"
Xu Feng's heart stirred, but his expression remained unchanged. Instead, he revealed a hint of "I knew it" and a trace of anger: "Severed? Hmph! My branch has simply gone into seclusion to focus on passing on its traditions. How can you say it's been severed?"
"My time is precious, I have no time to waste here. Tell your chieftain to come out and see me!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward and threw a powerful punch.
At the same time, the "Severing Thoughts Tribulation," one of the seven tribulations of shattering the soul, which was released by urging spiritual power, quietly attacked.
In an instant, the elephant chieftain felt his blood and energy suddenly stiffen.
boom!
His instinctive defensiveness was instantly interrupted by this strange feeling.
boom!
The punch landed squarely on his chest.
boom!
The elephant clan leader, who was only a low-level lord, immediately groaned and rolled backward with a thud, knocking down several guard elephant clan members!
Swish!
next moment.
A tall figure suddenly appeared at the valley entrance, cupped his hands in greeting to Xu Feng, and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, Your Excellency, please calm down! Please calm down!"
The visitor became much more polite, clasped his hands in greeting, and laughed loudly, saying, "Agallo did not intend to doubt, it was just his duty."
Since the messenger has important business to attend to, please follow me.
"I will take you to see Elder Vinayaka, he is the third elder of my clan!"
"Speak," the tall elephant said, glaring at the elephant tribe leader and his guards. "Are you all blind?! Get out of there and stand guard!"
"Yes!" The elephant tribe members dared not object and quickly stepped aside.
Then, the giant elephant tribesman looked at Xu Feng and said, "My name is Tiliyuk. May I ask how the envoy is addressed?"
"My name is Moro, lead the way." Xu Feng nodded indifferently, exuding an air of superiority.
Tillyuk narrowed his eyes and led Xu Feng and the other two into the Sacred Elephant Valley with a smile.
After entering the valley, he observed the layout, defenses, and important buildings as he followed Tilyuk toward the tallest hall in the center of the valley, carved from a single block of white rock.
The strongest aura emanating from that place suggests it's where the Elephant Clan's high-ranking members hold meetings or where powerful individuals reside.
"May I ask, Your Excellency, who are these two?" As they walked, Tillyuk deliberately asked Xu Feng.
Xu Feng glanced at Mori and the other man indifferently: "One is a human slave I captured from the human race, and the other is a slave I captured from the Rakshasa race."
Then, he glanced at Tilyuk and then at the elephant tribe around him: "I wonder if you have any enemies in your tribe?"
Introduce it to me when the time comes, and I'll try to get another mount!
Tillyuk's expression changed slightly, and he quickly smiled and said, "Hehe, Your Excellency is joking. My tribe has always been united, and I have no enemies within my tribe."
Xu Feng smiled noncommittally and followed him into the main hall.
Inside the hall.
An elderly Jade Tooth Elephant, whose size was even larger than that of Tilyuk and whose aura had reached the level of a high-ranking lord, was sitting on a huge jade throne.
He was Vinayaka, the third elder of the Jade Tooth Elephant Clan.
Vinayaka's eyes shone brightly as he opened and closed, exuding an aura of authority without anger.
He focused his gaze on Xu Feng, carefully sensing him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He didn't sense any aura from Xu Feng.
I could only sense that this person was very powerful, and there was a kind of piercing sharpness in his eyes.
However, its size differs somewhat from the characteristics of ordinary jade-tusked elephants.
The stronger a member of the Jade Tooth Elephant Clan is, the larger their size becomes.
But this envoy... seems rather thin?
"A branch of the White Stone Mountains? Moro?"
Elder Vinayaka's voice was slow and heavy, carrying an invisible pressure.
"Why have I never heard of any powerful figure with that title in the clan's records?"
Upon hearing the question, Xu Feng immediately chuckled and waved his hand. Mori immediately knelt on the ground like a human chair.
Xu Feng immediately plopped down on her back, crossed his legs, and said, "I think I've figured it out. Your branch seems pretty arrogant."
Everyone is going to question the identity of this person?
How could you, a mere lower-level branch, have ever heard of my name?
"Do I really need to send a special letter to inform your clan that I'll reach the ranks of Ultimate Lords within five hundred years?!"
Seeing his expression and words, Vinayaka was also startled and somewhat doubtful.
Xu Feng said calmly, "Let me tell you, my mission is to inspect your lower realm branches and assess your ability to deal with the human race."
Secondly, it assesses the potential of the new generation's bloodline and their combat skills.
Thirdly...examine the resources of each lineage over the past century that have been supplied to the main clan's treasury and reserves.
In particular, there is a stockpile of certain rare minerals and spiritual items, in preparation for... a powerful expert from the upper realm to descend and oversee the situation.
As he spoke, Xu Feng's face turned cold, and he tossed out a list: "I can cover for you in inspections and assessments."
But these things must be prepared and brought here.
Swish!
Vinayaka took the list, glanced at it, and said with a faint smile, "Envoy, please don't be angry. After all, we haven't seen an envoy descend for hundreds of years, so it's normal to have some doubts, right?"
As for the resources you need, and the specific procedures for the patrol, there should be more detailed instructions or tokens, right?
"Relying solely on the envoy's words will likely be insufficient to convince the public and will make it difficult to mobilize the treasury."
Xu Feng's heart sank slightly. This old elephant was indeed not easy to fool, much more troublesome than the Youpo of the Rakshasa tribe.
His face displayed just the right amount of "difficulty" and "displeasure": "Hehehe, what a convenient excuse for not being able to convince the masses. In that case, I'll take my leave! As for how to explain this to the Holy Land... you can figure it out yourselves."
He immediately stood up, making a move to leave, his attitude resolute.
"Wait a minute."
Elder Vinayaka suddenly spoke, his eyes softening as he smiled, "Guards! Take a seat of honor!"
Two small elephants came out from the side and quickly brought out a large chair for Xu Feng to sit down.
"Why should the messenger be angry? It's just that things haven't been peaceful in the Shiva region lately, so we have to be on guard."
Alright then, I can arrange the patrols and defenses, as well as the assessment of new talents.
However, inspecting the stored resources... especially the extraction of precious minerals, requires the king's approval.
The clan king is currently in seclusion, striving to reach a higher realm, and it is inconvenient to disturb him.
"The envoy may conduct the first two inspections first, and then we can discuss the resources after the clan king emerges from the pass, what do you think?"
Xu Feng understood.
The old man seemed to be half-believing and half-doubting, and adopted a strategy of delaying and partial cooperation.
Neither completely reject nor immediately satisfy.
They wanted to determine the authenticity by observing his "inspection" process.
"The clan king is in seclusion? Trying to break through to a higher realm? Could it be that ultimate lord, Elephant King?"
Xu Feng's mind raced.
This is indeed important information.
"Can."
Xu Feng knew when to quit while he was ahead, realizing that he had no chance of getting the resources directly today.
"Then let's inspect the defenses first and assess the rookies."
Hopefully, the younger generation of the main clan will not disappoint them.
"I will not disappoint the envoy."
Elder Vinayaka said calmly, and then instructed the commander beside him.
"Tiryuk, you will accompany the Moro messenger to inspect the various defensive strongholds and training grounds."
"We must show the envoy the true strength of our people!"
"Yes!" Tillyuk replied immediately.
The next half day.
Accompanied by Shi Ling, Xu Feng "seriously" inspected several important defensive fortifications and training grounds.
They also "observed" several matches and training sessions of the young elephant warriors.
Based on his experience in practicing the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique, he offered some "professional" advice in a seemingly professional manner.
Isabella and Morley followed in silence the entire time.
Isabella secretly observed the strength and plans of the Jade Tooth Elephant Clan, and the more she looked, the more alarmed she became.
The depth and strength of this ethnic group far exceeded her imagination.
No wonder it has managed to secure a place in this chaotic Shiva region, and even the Rakshasa clan dares not provoke it easily.
However, Xu Feng's mind was not on the patrol.
He secretly maximized his mental perception and silently memorized the general layout and distribution of powerful figures within the Sacred Elephant Valley.
In particular, the guarding situation at several suspected key storage sites and core areas.
The patrol ended in the evening.
Xu Feng declined the accommodation arranged by Tilyuk, saying he was "tired and planned to go to a nearby human city to capture a few human slaves to play with," and said he would come back the next day.
Elder Vinayaka did not insist on keeping him, but gave Xu Feng a meaningful look: "Please proceed, envoy."
Immediately, Xu Feng, along with Isabella and Mori, left Saint Elephant Valley under the "escort" of Tilyuk.
Only after leaving the valley entrance and returning to the dense forest where he had previously hidden did Xu Feng remove his disguise and revert to his slightly chubby youth appearance.
However, his expression was somewhat gloomy.
