Chapter 761 Returning to the Tribe (1/2)
”Daddy, these people who came from somewhere else are getting more and more absurd. We've been watching that Typhoon Tree on Howling Wind Mountain for 30 years. It bore fruit only two days ago, and those people stole half of it!” said a young man in agitation to a man wearing a white headcloth.
”Yes.” The man in the white headcloth narrowed his eyes, falling into silence. His strong stature made him look like a fierce leopard.
”Daddy, are we just going to—”
”Shh.” Gu Zha put his index finger to his son's lips, shaking his head slightly. ”Speak cautiously, act cautiously.”
”Daddy! The uncles in the tribe only listen to you. That new king is using our tribe's resources to develop his own tribes, like a bunch of leeches!”
”Gu Duo, you must control your temper.” Gu Zha shook his head, growing quiet as he looked out the window.
”Daddy…” Gu Duo looked at his father in despair. He didn't understand why.
Why wouldn't his father stand out and speak? Why wouldn't his father lead? Many people in the tribe were complaining.
”We are all from the human race. What's the loss in helping them?” Gu Zha shook his head. There were too many short-sighted people in the tribe. Of course, this wasn't their fault, since they had all lived mediocre lives since birth, so they only needed to see what was in front of them.
”But... we can't just let those newcomers ruin the tribe.” Gu Zha thought in silence. It wasn't that he didn't see what had been happening recently, but as a fanatic who wanted to lead the human race towards a renaissance, he knew this development had more disadvantages than advantages.
Currently, the Li Tribe was like a stagnant pond; only through moderate controlled competition could this stagnant pond begin moving again. Only then can the human tribes radiate a new vitality!
”His Majesty is back!” In the sky outside, a large blue-winged bird with a kangaroo-like pocket on its belly flew by, loud human speech coming out of its mouth. ”His Majesty is back!!”
”He's back.” Gu Duo was stunned.
Gu Zha's eyes twinkled as he patted Gu Duo on the shoulder. ”Let's go see His Majesty.”
”But…”
”No buts! He's the king of our Li Tribe now, a king who received the unanimous vote of all Saint-tier elders!” Gu Zha said with dignity.
”Okay... Understood.”
They arrived at the palace in the center of the tribe, where many tribal officials had already gathered after hearing the news. Many were exclaiming at the arrival of the newcomers.
”Elder Gu Zha is here.”
”I heard His Majesty is back?”
”His Majesty just returned, haha.”
In the palace, listening to the conversation outside, Gao Peng turned around. From the second floor windowsill, he saw a robust man in the crowd below.
It looked like... Gu Zha?
He had left an impression on Gao Peng because Gu Zha's strength was among the top five of all the Li Tribe's elders. He was old, powerful, and had a high reputation. He also had a familiar that could divinate. It could tell if something was auspicious or not, which was very rare. He was one of the tribe's twelve elders.
After a while, the front door of the palace opened. The elders swarmed in like a school of fish.
In the lobby of the palace, Gao Peng sat on a chair. A 16-foot tall Hell's Three-Headed Dog laid before him. Even though it laid on the ground, it was much taller than Gao Peng.
The Hell's Three-Headed Dog's heads all opened their eyes wide and looked at Gao Peng with fawning gazes. Their tongues hung out, and a strong sulfuric smell came out of their mouths, filling the air in the palace.
Gu Zha took a step forward and said softly, ”King, I have something to report.”
”Go ahead.” The meat in his hand had been licked clean by the Three-Headed Dog. Gao Peng turned his head.
