Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 770: Chapter 5 I am Shou Zhe! Also a Great Heavenly Proud_2

Even then, several heads of households and dozens of clan soldiers sacrificed their lives.

Apart from the vast breadth of one thousand five hundred miles, Wang Zongchang managed to create a narrow, tunnel-like map by exploring in a strip no more than one hundred miles wide in a zigzag pattern.

Furthermore, this tunnel-like map doesn’t follow a straight line.

When Wang Zongchang detected a danger point ahead during his exploration, he would usually mark it and bypass it. Over time, this map twisted and turned like a snake.

This clearly showed the difficulties and dangers Wang Zongchang encountered during his exploration. It was only due to his Xun Feng bloodline, known for its speed, as well as his expertly-trained Heavenly Human Realm Genius Profound Martial Cultivator, that he could accomplish this.

If it were Wang Shouzhe or Liu Ruolan, they would probably have to fight their way through, causing great disturbances and potentially triggering chain reactions, leading to unknown dangers.

“Fourth Uncle, all those danger points up ahead are fine. They are at most Level Five or Level Six Fierce Beast nests. We can just go around them,” Wang Zongchang pointed to a large area of the huge disc five thousand miles away, which he had circled in deep red on the map and said, “The key is this vast area. I encountered several Fierce Beast nests on just the outskirts. After my careful investigation, I am certain that a Level Seven Great Yao is harboring in the middle of this vast area.”

“A Level Seven Great Yao…is it possible to go around it?” Wang Shouzhe asked, his expression heavy.

A Level Seven Great Yao possesses the power of a Purple Abode Realm Old Ancestor at least. Some of them possess terrifying combat power due to their strong bloodline and long lives.

Generally speaking, these Fierce Beasts are raised in the Law of the Jungle environment and fighting, hunting, brawling over territories are a part of their daily lives. They possess greater combat power than Profound Martial Cultivators of the human race at the same realm.

“Most likely, we can’t go around it,” Wang Zongchang said, his expression serious. “Level Seven Great Yao are highly intelligent. They have strong territorial concepts and often occupy thousands of miles of land as their habitat. After my estimation, our ultimate destination is likely located near the Great Yao’s nest.”

“A reasonable deduction,” Wang Shouzhe nodded in agreement. “The military camps of the Divine Martial Dynasty are usually built atop abundant Spirit Veins. Even if there are no Spirit Veins there, it wouldn’t be hard for the Divine Martial Dynasty to relocate the Spirit Veins. Given the changes over tens of thousands of years, it is only normal for the Spirit Veins to shift position.”

“In that case, we have to prepare properly to eliminate the Level Seven Great Yao,” Wang Shouzhe said calmly. “We have to expand the training point of the military camp of the Divine Martial Dynasty as soon as possible. The vortex of the Emperor’s son’s struggle is growing larger. If the Wang family doesn’t wish to be an expendable pawn, we must speed up our growth.”

Unconsciously, the Wang Family had gradually grown to that extent. In Wang Shouzhe’s heart, a Level Seven Great Yao was no longer an insurmountable obstacle.

“Zongchang, in the next one or two years, you should form a team with Old Ancestor Xiao Han and Shu Yong to clear all Level Five and Six Fierce Beast nests along the route,” Wang Shouzhe instructed. “If you encounter strong targets, you can ask Old Ancestor Longyan to help.”

“Yes, Fourth Uncle.”

Wang Zongchang was thrilled. His years of exploration, braving risks in outer territory had not been in vain. The information that he brought back was laying the foundation for his clan’s future expansion in the outer territory.

Given the overall strength of the family, Level Five and Six Fierce Beasts were no longer obstacles. Clearing the way was also preparing for the Wang Family’s future expansion.

After settling matters in the outer domain, Wang Shouzhe was about to rest, but a head of household hurriedly reported with news from Wang Luotong sent by a carrier pigeon.

Wang Luotong, who had been in charge of the Wang’s Large Pasture in the northwest of Changning, was capable and rarely had any serious issues. Urgent messages delivered by pigeons were therefore rare, and Wang Shouzhe took it seriously.

After reading the urgent message, he found that there was a problem in the Great Wilderness Marsh in the direction of Zhenze We.

For a moment, Wang Shouzhe fell into deep thought.

He wondered whether it was a scheme concocted by Wang’s of Zhenze We or Gong Yang Ce, who had recently returned from the Immortal Dynasty.

However, both possibilities were soon ruled out by Wang Shouzhe.

If the former had done this, Zhenze We would undoubtedly be at the forefront of the issue, and the damage would only be greater. As for the latter, if Gong Yang Ce stirred up a disaster just to harm the Wang family, his plan was too low-level.

From his previous understanding of Gong Yang Ce’s character, although he could be ruthless for the sake of his goals, he wouldn’t stoop to such an inferior level that would harm others without benefiting himself.

Regardless, speculation is always just speculation.

The most pressing matter was to go to the scene and check it out.

…

In the evening.

Outside the main base of Wang’s Large Pasture.

A series of carriages, pulled by Northern heavy draft horses, approached from afar.

Heads of household and clan soldiers on horseback guarded the front and back of the carriages. The carriages at the front were loaded with large chunks of Fierce Beast meat.

They were all from a Fierce Beast – the Level Five Wild Marsh Crocodile, which had been slain by Wang Luotong.

Wild Marsh Crocodiles are commonly found in the Great Wilderness Marsh. They breed and grow quickly and are massive in size. They can reach thousands of pounds in weight even at Level Three. They can even exceed ten thousand pounds when they reach Level Four!
