Chapter 545: Esteemed Guest

Han Li couldn't understand what Tureev was seeing, but he was immediately able to see through his intentions, and he swept a sleeve through the air, releasing several thousands dark yellow beans that transformed into Dao Warriors before rushing into the swarm of insects.

Meanwhile, Jin Tong flew out of the swarm of insects as a streak of golden light before arriving in front of the Gray Toad beings in a flash, then lashed out with her front legs to send a flurry fo streaks of translucent golden light sweeping through the air, instantly killing most of the Gray Toad beings.

Tureev could see that escape wasn't going to be possible, and he immediately fell to his knees as he pleaded, "Please spare us! Why are you killing us when you're a member of the Insect Race yourself? All of us Gray Toad beings are insect envoys, we are loyal servants of the revered insect spirits! I only asked him to leave you behind so that we could take you back to our Insect Race and save you from having to serve as that human's pet!"

Jin Tong ceased in her attacks upon hearing this, and she reverted back to her human form before returning to Han Li's side, then asked, "What is this insect spirit that you speak of?"

"I... I'm afraid I don't know. Our Gray Toad Tribe is nothing more than a tiny branch of the Insect Race. Even though I'm the chief of the tribe, I've only ever heard of the revered insect spirit and never actually had the honor of meeting them," Tureev replied in a hesitant voice.

Jin Tong turned to Han Li upon hearing this, then asked, "Can we use a soul search technique on him, Uncle?"

"Sure," Han Li replied with a nod, then pointed a finger forward, upon which a thread of translucent light flew into Tureev's glabella.

"No!" Tureev wailed with a horrified expression, only for his head to explode violently just an instant later.

"That's quite a nasty restriction," Han Li remarked as his brows furrowed slightly. Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

The remaining Gray Toad beings were furious to see the demise of their chief, and they began charging at Han Li once again.

Several seconds later, the entire clearing fell completely silent, and all of the Gray Toad beings had been eradicated.

After stowing his Dao Warriors away, Han Li turned to the Longneck beings, who were clearly apprehensive of him, but didn't dare to leave without permission.

All of the Longneck beings were also looking back at Han Li with a mixture of fear and confusion in their eyes, and it was clear that they didn't know how to react to what had just happened.

The man by the name of Taj hesitated momentarily, then voluntarily approached Han Li before extending a grateful salute as he said in the language of the Northern Glacial Immortal Region, "Thank you for saving us, Senior."

"Seeing as you can understand my language, I'm sure you're already aware that I didn't kill those Gray Toad beings to save you and your tribesmen," Han Li said as he took a glance at Taj.

"In any case, you've saved all of us by killing those Gray Toad beings, and that is a great kindness that we must repay. However, at the moment, our tribe has been severely ravaged by the Insect Race, so I'm afraid we're in no position to be holding a reception. Otherwise, we would be sure to invite you to our tribe as an esteemed guest," Taj replied in an apologetic manner.

Han Li wanted to dismiss the Longneck beings, but after taking a glance at Jin Tong, he decided to raise some questions instead. "What's going on with the Beast Race and the Insect Race?"

A hesitant look appeared on Taj's face, and only after a brief pause did he reply, "The Insect Race and our Beast Race have different beliefs, and as a result, we've become sworn enemies. We've been fighting relentlessly against each other over the years, and many large-scale wars have taken place between our two races."

"What are these differing beliefs of yours?" Han Li asked.

"The primordial land is an enormous place, and many areas are ruled over by different powerful beings and tribes, making them inaccessible to others. Hence, even our Calm Dawn Tribe only has a map of some areas occupied by our Beast Race. As long as you're willing to escort us back to our Calm Dawn Tribe, I'll do my best to collect all of the maps in the possession of the nearby tribes," Nuo Yifan promised.

Han Li considered the offer for a moment, then decided to agree.

A hint of elation immediately flashed through Nuo Yifan's eyes as she said, "Thank you, Senior! May I ask your name?"

"My name is Li Feiyu," Han Li replied.

As Taj brought Han Li and Jin Tong back to the rest of the group, the other Longneck beings all began to watch Han Li's duo with clear apprehension and fear in their eyes.

Taj said something to everyone in the primordial tongue, and only then did all of the Longneck beings look away from Han Li and Jin Tong before commencing the process of cleaning up the battlefield.

At the same time, some of them began to collect the carcasses of the Gray Toad beings and the spirit insects, clearly finding them to be useful as materials.

Shortly thereafter, one of the Longneck beings exchanged a glance with Nuo Yifan, following which the former carried a storage ring that was crafted out of bone and laden with materials to Han Li.

Han Li wasn't particularly interested in these materials, but he still accepted the storage ring. After all, if he were to refuse, then that would most likely only make the Longneck beings even more uneasy as they could develop the false impression that he was harboring certain ulterior motives.

However, after accepting the storage ring, he immediately assigned its contents to Xiao Bai and Jin Tong for them to split and devour as they pleased.

Shortly thereafter, the entire group of Longneck beings set off once again, this time toward the south.

Taj was leading the way from the forefront, while Han Li and Nuo Yifan were walking alongside one another at the center of the unit, surrounded by all of the other Longneck beings. As for Jin Tong and Xiao Bai, they had already turned back into a pair of accessories that were fitted around Han Li's finger and hanging from his waist, respectively.

"Once we pass over this hilly region, we'll enter an area where a Hundred-eyed Centipede is active. The centipede is extremely formidable and aggressive, and it's been known to attack anything flying overhead. Hence, we'll only be able to take flight on demon beast steeds once we've passed through that area," Nuo Yifan explained.

"That's fine. The primordial land is a very dangerous place, so it makes sense to take some safety precautions," Han LI replied in an indifferent voice.

At this point, they were already deep in the primordial land, so he naturally had no interest in taking any risks unless it was absolutely necessary to do so.

As he continued to walk along, Han Li declared through voice transmission, "Xiao Bai, I want you to teach me the primordial language."

Xiao Bai was very much taken aback to hear this, and it exclaimed, "The cultivators of the immortal regions have always regarded the primordial language as a lowly language that's completely beneath them. Are you sure you want to learn it, Master?"

"Languages are but tools for communication, so I don't perceive any languages to be above or below others," Han Li replied.

"Alright, if you want to learn, then I'll teach you," Xiao Bai replied.
