Chapter 516: The Old Tales (1/2)
The Abyss Tribe was an ancient tribe in the Gigante Forest, one of the oldest amongst the three oldest tribes. The other two tribes were the Elven and the Moon Tribe. Different from the other tribes, the Abyss Tribe was composed of Abyss Clans; Abyss Sabre, Abyss Raven, Abyss Vulture, Abyss Wolf, and Abyss Ox.
The five clans formed the Abyss Tribe and became the strongest tribe in the Gigante Forest. That was not the only reason why the tribe became the strongest. There was another reason, it was because Kirin the Guardian Beast was on their back. The Protector of the Abyss, that was what the Abyss Tribe people called Kirin.
However, that title did not last long for them to hold. The demon race managed to reach the Ortis Continent. The whole continent united against the demon and managed to repel the demon.
However, as the vanguard of the Ortis Continent's force, the Abyss Tribe suffered a big loss. The Abyss Wolf Clan and the Abyss Ox Clan suffered ninety percent loss while the Abyss Sabre managed to preserve their force. The Abyss Sabre only suffered thirty percent of their force, the sole clan that preserved their force.
This was the start of the disaster. The Abyss Sabre Clan wanted to be the leader of the Abyss Tribe. They wanted to lead the whole tribe because they were the strongest clan at that time. They wanted to end the five ways of leadership. Of course, the other four clans refused the proposal, and the Abyss Sabre Clan thought they could intimidate the other clans with their force. However, that ended up with a civil war within the Abyss Tribe.
The Abyss Vulture decided to migrate and leave the Gigante Forest while the Abyss Ox Clan, the Abyss Raven, and the Abyss Wolf united. They fought the Abyss Sabre together, but they were getting outnumbered. When they were getting cornered, the three clans sought the Protector of the Abyss.
Jet's father who was at that time the Chief of the Abyss Raven Clan was tasked to meet Kirin the Guardian Beast. Jet and his father went to meet Kirin the Guardian Beast in Kirin's nest.
—At that time, I remembered that arrogant bastard was shaking his head and turned away from us! He left us to die! I understand if he did not want to help us, but could he at least protect us from the Abyss Sabre Clan?
Jet's angry voice rang in Tang Shaoyang's head. His anger was understandable, if Kirin protected the remaining three clans, then the Abyss Sabre Clan could not slaughter the remaining. While they could not preserve the Abyss Tribe, the three clans would be safe.
—We fought! I fought until the end. We made sure to kill each Abyss Sabre so they would also suffer from that stupid civil war. My Father and the other two Chiefs managed to kill the Chief and a few Elders of the Abyss Sabre Clan. We lost, but the Abyss Sabre Clan paid a huge price for that. If that cowardly vulture did not escape, we might even win the battle. Stupid vulture! Cowardly Vulture! Bastard Kirin!
The Gigante Forest was indeed more complicated than he thought. However, Tang Shaoyang gained a lot of information from Jet's story. Kirin was real, it existed. It was perfectly right as Aki described to him. Kirin had the body of an ox and the head of a dragon with scaly skin. However, the story did not mention the Green Sky Serpent. Even during the war against the demon race, Jet did not bring up the Green Sky Serpent.
