Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1659: Chapter 1661: Complex Clues

”Hey, are you serious? My wife is the Fly God Bull? Hmm, that’s not right, those guys we just encountered aren’t from the Celestial Bull Clan. I heard from the elders in my family that the Celestial Bull Clan has two long antennae...”

Ye Luo slightly furrowed his brows, but he was confident he could trick this Man Niu.

”Let me tell you, Brother Niu, how old are the elders in your family? How do they know so much about the Fly God Bull? I heard it’s hard to come across one, and the Celestial Bull Clan has never interacted with your Bull-headed Tribe. Who knows what the Celestial Bull Clan looks like? If you ask me, even if those Winged People weren’t from the Celestial Bull Clan, they probably have some connection. Otherwise, why would they have been so eager to kill us at first, and ended up letting us go when they found out Fangfang is the Fly God Bull? Otherwise, we’d probably be dead and wouldn’t be talking here!”

A lie, a harmless lie; Ye Luo didn’t want Man Niu to sink into despair!

As expected, his words made Man Niu halfway believe him: ”Right, my grandpa is only a little over three thousand years old, how could he know so much? The Fly God Bull is half a legend, haha, my wife being the Fly God Bull would make them die of envy! Oh, brother, did Fangfang say when she’d come back to see me?”

”Well, she didn’t say, but I bet she’ll come back to see you. Of course, it would be best if you became strong yourself, and then found the Celestial Bull Clan, then you could find your wife. That’s much more impressive than just waiting for her to come back to see you. Anyways, let’s not dwell on that. I do want to ask you, you said your grandpa’s over three thousand years old? Really? You don’t seem that old yourself. Is your grandpa really...?”

Indeed, Ye Luo was deliberately changing the topic because he feared saying too much might arouse Man Niu’s suspicion.

Hearing Ye Luo mention his grandpa, Man Niu indeed shifted his thoughts. For him, Niu Fangfang becoming the Fly God Bull was a great thing, so he was just happy for her.

The simple-minded Man Niu didn’t think about himself; he just thought that since Niu Fangfang became the Fly God Bull, he ought to give his blessings!

”Haha, brother, you might not know this, but everyone in our tribe is a descendant of my grandpa. He’s not just our clan leader; he’s the common ancestor of all the young people in our tribe. Impressive, huh!”

Damn!

Ye Luo was genuinely impressed. An entire tribe, all stemming from one bull ancestor, took him by surprise.

”How many people are in your tribe?”

Instinctively, Ye Luo asked.

Being called a tribe, you’d expect at least a few thousand people!

But Man Niu’s answer left Ye Luo stunned.

”Our tribe has eighty-three people in total!”

Eighty-three people?

Isn’t that too few? How do so few people qualify as a tribe?

It seems that Man Niu’s grandpa in the Bull-headed Tribe isn’t a simple character. Surely, there must be more than this small number of people, especially since they’re all from one family, forming their own tribe!

Man Niu evidently believed Ye Luo’s words, showing a silly smile. He wasn’t too worried about Niu Fangfang’s disappearance. He believed she went to the Celestial Bull Clan, thinking they’d meet sooner or later. Instead, he curiously turned to those he rescued and asked, ”By the way, why were you captured as sacrifices by those people? I heard the Winged People Tribe usually doesn’t appear elsewhere. How did you encounter them?”

Man Niu’s question was the very one Ye Luo had been longing to ask!

Actually, Ye Luo had wanted to ask this point for a while, but he didn’t because he was worried about Man Niu.

At this point, Man Niu asked on behalf of Ye Luo.

In response to Man Niu’s question, one person stepped forward and said, ”We don’t know either. We’re just from a tribe on the border of the wilderness. We originally only wanted to hunt some low-level demon beasts in the wilderness, but we happened to run into them, and then they captured us!”

This...

Said without really saying anything, there was no useful information at all. Even if there was, these people’s abilities probably couldn’t discover anything useful.

However, just as Ye Luo was feeling disappointed, he heard another person say, ”But when we were captured, we seemed to hear them talking about attacking some empire, and they mentioned capturing an Earth Dragon beast to refine something for the Human Race!”

Human Race!

Indeed, he was talking about the Human Race!

Could these Winged People be colluding with the Human Race?

The Ninth Region is not only the Great Tang Empire for the Human Race, not to mention these Winged People obviously don’t belong to the Ninth Region, so they might even be from a Human Race empire in the Eighth Region!

Unfortunately, even though this person provided a bit of useful information, it was essentially useless because even if it was true that the Winged People are refining some magical treasure for the Human Race, they had no idea what treasure it was, why the Winged People had contact with the Human Race, or even which Human Race specifically.

”Think again, do you remember which empire they talked about attacking?”

Ye Luo questioned again. Compared to the later useless information, perhaps the earlier information was more crucial!

Sadly, Ye Luo was destined for disappointment. Only one person heard it, and even he only caught some scattered words, never fully recalling which empire it was!

Ye Luo at this point was eager to use the Soul Searching Technique!

But Ye Luo knew that since these people claimed they couldn’t remember, they truly couldn’t. Thus, even using the Soul Searching Technique would be utterly pointless!

Before long, Ye Luo and the others reached the edge of the wilderness. Essentially, they walked straight out as usual, not knowing the actual route.

Thus, naturally, Ye Luo and Man Niu parted ways with those people.

The Demon Beast Hunting Conference might be crucial for others, but for Ye Luo, it didn’t hold much importance. He had plenty of opportunities to hunt demon beasts.

Now that they’d walked out successfully, Ye Luo didn’t intend to go back in.

Man Niu already secured a Wild Beast leader. Although all its minions were wiped out, Man Niu was quite satisfied.

So both decided not to re-enter the wilderness!

Instead, they planned to return to the Royal City.

Ordinarily, when the Demon Beast Hunting Conference ends, someone would notify them to leave and provide them with a gathering point, but given the conference lasts a month, Ye Luo and Man Niu saw no point in waiting around.

Along the way, Ye Luo finally experienced just how devastating Man Niu’s barrage of questions could be!
