Chapter 476 Sang Tong Tribe (2/2)
”Master, they're saying that they come from the Sang Tong Tribe. One said that its father is the high priest of the tribe. Another said that its father is the vice-captain of the tribe's hunting squad. Their elders would be willing to pay a price for their heads,” translated Dumby.
Is that it… They have some status. Gao Peng was silent. He looked at them without saying anything. ”Dumby, you ask them…”
…
After half an hour, all that needed to be known had been asked. However, the three of them really had backbones. Even if they were beaten up, they didn't give up the detailed location of their tribe or the level of the tribe's strongest' familiar. However, the rest of the information that needed to be known was obtained by Gao Peng.
The group of people came from the Sang Tong tribe and they had lived in their world ever since they were born. They called the Earth Star the Ancestral Land. To them, the Ancestral Land was only a place that existed in the legends told by their ancestors, and before that day, they had all just treated it as a story.
From what they had heard from their elders, their ancestors had once moved away from the Ancestral Land. As for the reason for moving, they didn't know.
The Sang Tong Tribe was a mid-sized tribe with a population of over a million people. The tribe had Overlord-tier monster trainers, and there were no less than 30 Emperor-tier monster trainers, as well as a huge number of King-tier ones.
It was due to the oppression of the Ancestral Land that at the moment, the strongest monster trainers they could send to the Earth Star were King-tier trainers. They were the strongest King-tier monster trainers in the entire tribe.
Unlike the Earth Star, they categorized the familiar grades from one star to five stars, used to differentiate from the Normal grade to the Legendary grade.
Even if the Legendary grade was also quite rare for the Sang Tong tribe, according to rumors, one of their ancestors had once possessed a Legendary-grade familiar, and it was that ancestor who had made the Sang Tong Tribe strong.
Apart from the Legendary grade, the Epic grade was something that one could only hope for. From the fact that even the Sang Tong Tribe could hardly put four Epic-grade King-tier monsters together, one could see just how rare they were.
All four of them had parents who were among the higher-ups of the tribe, and none of them were exempt. Due to the strict levels of the tribe, it was incredibly difficult to possess a high grade familiar when they were young. Moreover, even if they had a high grade familiar, without the sufficient background, it would be taken away very easily; the one who had been killed was the eldest son of the chief of the Sang Tong Tribe.
It was also because they had the resources afforded to them by their parents that they could easily become King-tier monster trainers at such young ages. It was because their familiars were heirlooms from their ancestors.
Tong Xiang spoke honestly and said that his Six-Tusked Brahman Elephant was a handpicked Six-Tusked Brahman Elephant of the highest grade that was the descendant of his ancestor's Six-Tusked Brahman Elephant. After saying that, the three of them stared at Gao Peng, wide-eyed.
Gao Peng became silent after learning the information he wanted. Then he said happily, ”Don't worry, I'm a man of my word. I'll make it a pleasant experience for you.”
”...” The three of them were on the brink of tears. Who asked you to make us happy? We just want to live.
Tong Xiang suddenly bit his lip and said, ”If you're worried that our parents won't want to pay a ransom for our heads since we no longer have our familiars, you don't have to worry. My parents will definitely pay a price to get me back because I'm the only son in my family.”
At that time, he no longer cared about his comrades. Tong Xiang had no intention to talk about the other two.
Gao Peng touched his chin to think. It was already a fact that he had angered the Sang Tong Tribe. Gao Peng also felt regret deep in his heart. It seems like I was still too impulsive. I only wanted to get some intel at first. It's just that I overreacted after being attacked.
Who'd have thought that these guys would have such a high social status? I say, aren't these guys crazy? To not send less important people to obtain intelligence. Did they really have to send their descendants to do this?
However, it wasn't too worrisome. With the barriers in the world, the really strong couldn't make it through anyway. By the time they did, Gao Peng's familiars' levels and grades would have also increased.
As long as he maintained a lead in grade, he would never be in a losing position. But… This does not suit my salted fish tactic! I want to slowly grow my familiars and plan for development so that I'm invincible when I leave this mountain!
This sort of revenge is just too boring! Gao Peng was speechless. How can I solve this issue in one go? I can't be standing watch beside the spatial rift constantly, can I? To kill them everytime one comes through?
He rubbed his temples. Unless they don't know that I'm the one behind it. What if they don't know I'm responsible?
Gao Peng's eyes shone. If I kill everyone who knows, doesn't that mean that nobody would know that I was the one who killed these people?
