Chapter 517 - The Dark Tribeʼs Hidden Agenda

Tang Shaoyang shook his head. The four tribes and the two Guardian Beasts were supposed to be the common knowledge within the Gigante Forest. Aki would not make an obvious lie like that. The only explanation was that this Green Sky Serpent appeared after the Abyss Tribeʼs demise. That was the only explanation if Jet did not know anything about this Green Sky Serpent.

ʼAre you sure that the Gigante Forest only has one Guardian Beast? I have received a piece of different information from my subordinate. He told me that thereʼs a second Guardian Beast and it is the Green Sky Serpent,ʼ Tang Shaoyang wanted to confirm his conjecture. If Jet truly did not know anything about the Green Sky Serpent, then the second Guardian Beast appeared after the civil war within the Abyss Tribe.

Jet fell silent as he contemplated the name. It did not take long before the Abyss Raven told him the truth.

—No, I donʼt know anything about this Green Sky Serpent. It was never mentioned in the great war against the demon. At least, this Green Sky Serpent did not exist at that time.

ʼI see,ʼ Tang Shaoyang nodded his head. That meant his conjecture might be true. The Green Sky Serpent appeared after the great war against the demon race, after the fall of the Abyss Tribe, ʼWhat about the Elven? They are one of the strongest forces of the forest,ʼ

—I know them! They are a peaceful-looking tribe. They never involved themselves in a fight between the tribes. As long as you donʼt damage the nature of the forest, the Elven will not come out of their hideout. They are the most seclusive tribe, but they are indeed strong. They contributed greatly to the great war against the Demon Race.

ʼThen do you know where their hideout is?ʼ This was one of the most important pieces of information he needed. The Elvenʼs location.

—I donʼt know. Since they did not look for the trouble, we also did not bother them.

ʼI see,ʼ Tang Shaoyang nodded again. It was still useful even though he could not find Elvenʼs location. However, he found a way to lure them out, burn the forest then they would come out to meet him.

ʼThen what about the Dwarves? Have you heard about them?ʼ Tang Shaoyang asked everything. Even though Jetʼs information was from the past, it would still help him. He learned a lot about the history behind the Gigante Forest.

When he returned to the tribe, Selena had woken up. She was helping the girls of the Pallarmus Tribe to cook. Tang Shaoyang approached her and asked, ”What are you doing? Shouldnʼt you get some more rest?” Selena was roasting unknown meat in her hand. The simple way to cook meat, frying, baking, and roasting.

”And let them give us raw meat to eat?” Selena smiled wryly as she recalled what happened before. She was served bloody and raw meat in front of her. There was no way she would eat that. Shen told him what happened before.

After having their meal, Tang Shaoyang returned to the main house with the original group. It was time to interrogate Aki. He was an Elder of the Dark Tribe. It was time to find out the real strength of this Dark Tribe. The only thing he knew about the Dark Tribe was their Chief. Igor was his name, had evolved into Infernal Sabre, and had reached Primordial Rank.

One Chief and twelve Elders, that was how things worked in the Dark Tribe. One sole leader with twelve sub-leaders and Aki was one of the twelve sub-leaders. Honestly, it was surprising that Aki could reach the Elder Rank in one of the strongest tribes in the Gigante Forest. But Tang Shaoyang understood why the rat beastmen could take one of the Elder Positions.

That was because of the class Aki possessed. The Mind Control was stronger than he thought as it could hurt him. The remaining eleven Elders, four of them filled by the Abyss Sabre Clan and the remaining positions filled by the other strong tribes such as the Dire Bear Tribe, Flame Hound Tribe, and other tribes.

Amongst the twelve Elders, Aki was the only Epic Rank. The other Elders were at Ancient Rank and two of them were at Myth Rank. Of course, there are more Ancient Ranks and Myth Ranks outside the Elders. In total, the Dark Tribe had Eleven Myth Ranks and twenty-three Ancient Ranks.

As for Epic, they had an elite army that consisted of Epic Ranks. The five Dark Vultures were part of the elite army. There were thousands of them. Compared to the human force, the tribes in the Gigante Forest were much stronger than the human kingdom. It was fortunate that the tribes were fighting each other. If the tribes unified, they would rule the Ortis Continent for sure if one tribe was this strong.

However, he did not know how strong the Epic Rank Beast was compared to the human Epic Rank. He had not fought an Epic human, but the Epic Dark Vulture was only level 800ish while Aki was level 600ish. But the human had to reach level 1000 to reach Epic Rank, it was confusing for sure. From the level, the human was stronger than the beast but the beast was higher in rank.

”What about their numbers? How many armies does The Dark Tribe have?” This was one of crucial information for sure.

”They have around eighty thousand armies if we combine all the tribes they have recruited. However, you donʼt need to worry about them for the time, My Lord. The Dark Tribe has a hidden agenda, they will not come for us for the time being,” Aki replied vaguely. He told his Lord it was a hidden agenda instead of telling his Lord what the hidden agenda was.

”You do really love to play the suspense game with me, huh!?” He squinted his eyes at the rat beastmen. Nol hugged his grandpaʼs thigh tightly. The little guy was still afraid of Tang Shaoyang.

”They want to kill Kirin the Guardian Beast!”
