Chapter 529 - Chapter 529: Chapter 521 Primitive Tribe (2/2)

Qin Niu said to his wife.“`

“Hmm! You all must pay attention to safety,” she said.

Now burdened with the care of two fox cubs, she appeared especially busy.

Even her cat was feeling neglected.

A woman is born with the radiance of motherhood, and once she has children, her entire focus shifts to them.

She had never been a mother before, and now, watching the two fox cubs crying for food, she probably regarded them as her ‘children’.

The carriage had been climbing uphill, and to ease the burden on the two Black Mare Horses, Qin Niu also had the idle Yalong colt help pull the carriage. Green Ox still basked in Qin Niu’s favor, never having to do such hard labor.

It seemed to thoroughly enjoy the unique geographical environment of the No Peak Sect.

Surrounded by mountains and filled with greenery everywhere, it was very happy. This journey, for it, was akin to touring and frolicking through the mountains and waters.

Now and then, it would even chew on the leaves and tender stems of plants that it found palatable.

The road to Tian Cheng was not straight but wound upwards.

This represented human ingenuity, as the circuitous upward mountain path reduced the incline to its lowest possible extent.

If they had created a straight road from the foot of the mountain to Tian Cheng, it probably wouldn’t be much different from the legendary ladder to heaven, especially with an altitude of over two thousand meters.

Gradually, their carriage finally reached the entrance to Tian Cheng.

There was no city wall, because a wall was simply unnecessary for protection.

The city gate was a huge rock standing there, with the words Tian Cheng carved into it.

In front of the gate were barricades, with a troop of soldiers in short skirts made of animal skins and wielding spears standing guard. Their attire made them look like primitive people from ancient times.

Entering the city required an entry fee, five copper coins per person.

If you had no money, you could offset the fee with food, animal hides, or captured beasts and birds.

The impression one got was that Tian Cheng was underdeveloped, almost cut off from the world. Sandwiched between two super sects, life there must be tough.

The rulers of the No Peak Sect didn’t dare to develop too much, for fear of causing any misunderstandings with their super neighbors.

“Ah!”

Wang Wanyan had just lifted the curtain to check out the local customs of Tian Cheng and couldn’t help but let out a shriek of surprise.

“What’s wrong?”

Qin Niu quickly asked.

“These, these women here, why aren’t they wearing any tops? It’s so embarrassing!”

She said, her embarrassment obvious.

“Each place has its own customs, we should just follow the local ways. We’re only staying here for one night after all, and we’ll leave first thing tomorrow morning,” Qin Niu replied quite unruffled.

Chi Xing must have visited this place many times and had long since grown accustomed to the local human attire.

Compared to the city of the Myriad Beast Gang, Tian Cheng seemed like a completely different world.

Rat City of the Myriad Beast Gang was bustling and thriving, and very developed.

In contrast, Tian Cheng seemed backward, akin to a primitive tribe from ancient times. The houses here were primarily made of stone, and the roofs were not covered in green tiles or glazed tiles, but in tree bark.

Indeed, every place had its own distinctive features.

Situated deep in the mountains with inaccessible transportation, building houses here meant using whatever materials were immediately at hand.

It was only within Tian Cheng that one could see a large number of stone houses; along their journey, they mostly saw wooden houses.

“Brother Chi, such a backward place as Tian Cheng, does it have any strong cultivators?”
