Chapter 87: Chapter 85: Searching for the Thousand-year-old Ginseng

Xiao Tian and Xu Fei followed Budashun to the tribe.

When they reached the edge of the tribe, both of them paused simultaneously and frowned.

The entire tribe was shrouded in a thick haze, eerie and somewhat intimidating.

Through the haze, Xiao Tian saw several passing villagers nearby, all with sullen faces and not a hint of a smile.

If an ordinary person came here, they would be quite scared before even entering the tribe after seeing such a scene.

Xiao Tian had experienced many storms and wasn’t afraid, but he did feel that this place was very strange.

”Big brother, let me take you to meet our village chief.” Budashun said gleefully, blinking her eyes. Two small dimples appeared on her round face, extremely cute.

She ran a few steps ahead to lead the way.

Xiao Tian and Xu Fei followed.

Soon, they were brought to a courtyard where they saw a thin old man.

The old man appeared very weak, somewhat hunched over, but his eyes involuntarily exuded a sense of authority.

Apparently, he was the village chief of the village.

The arrival of outsiders like Xiao Tian and Xu Fei also attracted the attention of many villagers. Many quietly followed them, appearing worried but not showing any hostility towards the two.

”Village Chief Grandpa!” Budashun dragged Xiao Tian over, cheerfully saying, ”Village Chief Grandpa, this big brother is my benefactor. When I was being bullied by punks while setting up a stall outside, he stepped in and saved me.”

”Hello, Village Chief, my name is Xiao Tian.” Xiao Tian politely greeted.

He noticed the villagers around were quite worried, so he displayed a gentle demeanor, as he was here to find the Thousand-year-old Ginseng and couldn’t afford to make enemies with the village due to a moment’s mistake.

”Being brave and righteous, he’s indeed a fine young man.”

The village chief smiled warmly, nodding as he approached Xiao Tian, looking gratefully at him, then enthusiastically shook his hand and said, ”Come, come, don’t just stand outside, come in and sit.”

”Brave young man, thank you for saving Budashun.”

”Welcome to our village!”

”Young man, come to our house for dinner tonight, I’ll prepare some local specialties for you.”

Although the nearby villagers were still worried about Xiao Tian, this stranger, they were still enthusiastic to welcome the arrival of Xiao Tian and Xu Fei after hearing that Xiao Tian had beaten the punks and saved Budashun.

Xiao Tian politely smiled at the villagers and followed the village chief into the house.

After chatting with the village chief for a while, he got straight to the point and said, ”Village Chief, we actually came here after hearing that Thousand-year-old Ginseng could be found here. Do you have any information about it?”

”The village chief needn’t worry; we know the Thousand-year-old Ginseng belongs to your tribe, we won’t take it away without compensation.” Xiao Tian added.

Upon entering the village, he realized the villagers were very suspicious and worried that the issue with the Thousand-year-old Ginseng would anger the village chief.

”Thousand-year-old Ginseng?” The village chief paused, then smiled and said, ”Indeed, we did have Thousand-year-old Ginseng here, but it was stolen long ago, it’s been gone for years.”

Hearing this news, Xiao Tian felt disappointed, but he didn’t show it on his face.

After chatting with the village chief for a while and having a cup of tea, he left with Xu Fei.

As soon as they stepped out, Xu Fei pulled Xiao Tian into a secretive corner and whispered, ”The village chief lied. I can assure you, the person who gave me the information is absolutely reliable. There definitely is Thousand-year-old Ginseng here.”

”I know too.”

Xiao Tian slightly nodded and said, ”This village is very hostile to outsiders, so even if they have it, they wouldn’t easily reveal it. These villagers are very vigilant, but they’re also simple and kind people. If the village chief says there’s none, we can’t just take it by force, can we?”

”Maybe the ginseng hasn’t been dug up yet, let’s go check the mountain.”

Unwilling to give up, Xiao Tian held onto a thread of hope and headed towards the nearby hillside.

The Thousand-year-old Ginseng is key to enhancing power, it must be obtained!

Not far away, on the other side of the wall.

A dozen strong villagers saw Xiao Tian and Xu Fei heading up the mountain and exchanged glances.

Soon, a man frowned and said, ”They just arrived in the village and headed to the mountain, they must be trying to steal the ginseng, we better grab our gear and follow them to take a look.”

The other strong villagers nodded in agreement, and shortly after, they grabbed their hunting rifles and quietly climbed up the mountain.

Elsewhere.

Hu also led his men aggressively into the village.

”Uncle, it’s this village, that wild kid must be hiding in there!” Mao ran over to Hu, speaking resentfully.

”Big brother, look there!” a punk pointed towards the distant path, shouting.

”Yes, yes, that’s him! That’s the guy who hit me, Uncle, you must stand up for me!” Mao shouted excitedly, already imagining the scene where Xiao Tian was brutally dealt with by Hu.

”We’ll split into two groups, you take some people to find that wild kid, make him kneel before me. Also, be careful of that tiger that’s about to become a demon, in this wilderness, it might easily appear.”

Hu glanced at Mao, advised him a bit, mentioning the tiger, and couldn’t help but shiver, with cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

As for Mao, his mind was filled with thoughts of teaching Xiao Tian a tough lesson, completely ignoring Hu’s reminder and leading his men to chase after Xiao Tian.

Soon, Hu swung his right arm fiercely and shouted, ”Everyone else, follow me to raid the village ginseng, let them see Hu’s might!”

”Alright, not only will we raid the ginseng, but we’ll also raid the women!”

”Hu is invincible, Hu is mighty!”

”Dare to provoke us, let them pay a bloody price!”

Upon hearing the plan to raid the village, Hu’s subordinates instantly erupted in excited cheers.

On another mountain path.

”I feel that such a valuable item like the Thousand-year-old Ginseng must still be hidden by the villagers.” Xu Fei said helplessly, scanning around.

Bang!

Before Xiao Tian could respond, a gunshot rang out abruptly.

”Wild kid, I’ve come to settle scores with you. If you know what’s good for you, just kneel obediently and kowtow to me three times!”

Mao held up his hunting rifle, mocking Xiao Tian, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Hmph, my uncle is here personally, kid, just wait to die!

”Blind fool, haven’t you seen who we are? Daring to mess with us is simply courting death!”

”Kid, hurry up and kneel to Mao and kowtow!”

”Brothers, stop dawdling, hurry and shoot him into a sieve, then go back and raid the village women with Hu!”

Behind Mao, over a dozen punks raised their hunting rifles, cheering excitedly.

They outnumbered him and were armed, completely dismissing Xiao Tian!

Roar!!!

Just when the punks were ready to harshly teach Xiao Tian a lesson, a tiger’s roar suddenly echoed!

The sound resounded through heaven and earth, shaking the ground and mountains!

The surrounding trees rustled violently.

In the next instant, the entire space turned silent!

Including Mao, all the punks were dumbfounded, standing there stupefied, not daring to breathe.
