Seven Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty-Seven Rivers
"It is indeed not a formation. The elders of the tribe said that this is a residence specially given to us by a powerful person to protect the Fenghe tribe, so that we can safely seal the Tianmo River without being disturbed by the outside world." Chi Qiu said.
"Tianmo River? What is that?" Tang Yu was a little curious, "When I came here, I didn't see any river nearby?"
"Tianmo River is the place you just went to, the forbidden area of our Fenghe tribe, which you mistook for the big hole in the Demon Abyss. It is called Tianmo River because powerful Tianmo often appear there." Chi Qiu's eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent.
"The Tianmo you are talking about should be the so-called evil demon, right?" Tang Yu still wanted to continue to get some information from Chi Qiu, and then choose whether to tell Chi Qiu something.
Chi Qiu didn't answer Tang Yu's question immediately after hearing it. Instead, he looked at Tang Yu and asked in confusion, "Why did you mistake our Fenghe clan's Fenghe beast, the river demon, for a demon?"
"The demons I've seen are like that!" Tang Yu shrugged helplessly and said with a grin.
Chi Qiu was surprised when he heard Tang Yu's words. He opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly, a slightly old voice came from the side: "Chi Qiu, are there any guests from afar again?"
"Elder Qingsha, these are guests from afar, his name is Tang Yu." Chi Qiu turned around and looked at the person who came, and said respectfully when he heard the voice.
Tang Yu also immediately turned his head and looked at an old man with white hair who was also dressed as a primitive man. He clasped his fists and smiled and shouted, "Meet Elder Qingsha."
"Young man, you are too polite! Let me take you to visit our Fenghe tribe! Chi Qiu still needs to guard the forbidden area of the tribe, so I can't take care of you more!" The old man in the green gauze tent said slowly and kindly.
"It doesn't matter! Since Chi Qiu has something to do, let's go first!" Tang Yu felt strange in his heart. Why did this old man appear just when Chi Qiu was about to say something, and this old man appeared too suddenly. Tang Yu didn't feel anything at all. This is definitely a problem.
"Then Brother Tang, I'll take my leave first! When I complete my mission, I'll find you for a drink." Chi Qiu opened his broad palm, patted Tang Yu's shoulder, and said with a smile.
"Go!" Tang Yu smiled, stretched out his hand unnaturally, and rubbed the place where Chi Qiu patted.
It looked like Chi Qiu just patted lightly, but the force actually made him, a man with extraordinary physical strength, feel pain. This Chi Qiu, no, it should be said that the Fenghe tribe is an extraordinary existence!
"Young man, I'm sorry! Chi Qiu's attack was a bit heavy, his temperament is so carefree." Elder Qingsha noticed Tang Yu's behavior and immediately spoke.
"It doesn't matter, I still like the character of brother Chi Qiu." Tang Yu put down his hand and said with a chuckle.
Elder Qingsha smiled slightly, turned around, and said: "Then, everyone, come with me!"
"Elder Qingsha, can I ask a question?" Following behind Elder Qingsha, Tang Yu couldn't help asking.
"Go ahead! Young man, I will definitely tell you anything I know." Elder Qingsha responded happily without stopping.
"Why do you regard the evil demon that everyone outside fears as the sacred beast of your tribe?"
"It's not the sacred beast of our tribe, it's the Fenghe sacred beast!" Elder Qingsha emphasized.
"Aren't you called Fenghe Clan? Isn't it the sacred beast of your clan?" Tang Yu asked in confusion.
Elder Qingsha looked back at Tang Yu, a mysterious smile on his face, and said: "Young man, how much do you know about our Fenghe Clan?"
"I can say that I don't know anything at all." Tang Yu told the truth.
After all, if he hadn't been going to the Demon Cave this time, he would never have thought that there was any Fenghe Clan here.
"Since you don't know,
Then I can tell you something about our Fenghe Clan..."
Elder Qingsha seemed to be a lonely old man who was talkative and wanted to talk to a young man. When he heard Tang Yu's question, he immediately started to talk. This talk took most of the day, and Tang Yu and the other two had already followed the old man to the valley, a two-story building built with thatch, drinking spiritual tea while listening to Elder Qingsha's story.
It turns out that this Fenghe tribe has been born for more than 100,000 years, and has existed for much longer than the other four forces outside the Tianyu Temple among the five major forces today. It can be said that it is a race that was born in the same era as the Baihuahehuan Sect.
However, this race is not the natives of the region. Tang Yu never expected that the place where they really came from was the Demon Cave he always wanted to go to.
That's right!
The real birthplace of this Fenghe tribe is a world full of demons.
They came to the region because of an accident.
But after arriving in the region, they still did not contact the outside world and lived the same life as they did in the Demon Cave.
Even if outsiders came, they would only entertain them politely, but they would never contact the outside world too much.
Because they came from the Demon Cave, the members of the Fenghe tribe have very terrifying physical strength. When they were born, they could be comparable to the strong men in the sixth realm of the middle god just by relying on their physical strength, and as their bodies continue to grow and age increases, their physical strength can continue to improve.
But this also caused a new trouble, that is, the members of the Fenghe tribe, although their physical strength is very terrifying, they cannot practice any exercises.
In other words, if they simply rely on their physical strength to gain strength, after they reach adulthood, their physical strength will basically stagnate, and at this time, their strength should be roughly equivalent to that of a strong man in the eighth realm of the middle god.
This is why most of the Fenghe tribe members that Tang Yu saw were in the eighth realm of the middle god, because they were all adult men in the Fenghe tribe, and only one Chi Qiu was just a little bit short of the ninth realm of the middle god.
That was because Chi Qiu was unwilling to give up, and constantly polished and condensed his body, and after going through untold hardships, he reached this level.
If you can't practice any exercises, there will be no true qi energy in your body, and without true qi energy, these people can't fly.
Although they themselves cannot fly, their station, in their own words, is protected by the great gods, so they deliberately arranged such a place where they cannot fly, so that they don't have to worry about other people with bad intentions paying attention to them.
For the people of Fenghe tribe, as long as they can't fly, their chances of winning are not much, even if a group of strong men in the ninth realm of the middle god come.
Of course, the entire Fenghe tribe is not particularly large, adding up to about 10,000 people, otherwise with their strength and a history of more than 100,000 years, their strength is definitely not worse than the so-called five major forces now.
The Fenghe tribe mentioned that the Fenghe River is not to seal the river in the area, but to seal a river in the Demon Cave.
That river just connects to the entrance of the Demon Cave. When they were in the Demon Cave, they lived next to the river. Later, when they came to the area, they still lived next to the river, but not only lived, but also had the task of sealing the river.
According to them, this mission was left to them by the powerful being who was supposed to protect them, but they were not very clear about who that powerful being was, what he looked like, or why he asked them to seal the river.
