Wu Gengji, I will become Zi Yu's apprentice at the beginning! ! !

The old man waved his hand gently, with a helpless smile on his face, and replied: "I am fine, but these mutated beasts have indeed caused great damage to this land."

Han Fenglin stared at the old man with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice: "It seems that you know a lot about these changes. Can you tell us more?"

Wang Hun also immediately raised the question in his mind: "Old man, we have stayed in this area for several days, but we only saw you. Aside from you, are there no other living beings here?"

The old man sighed softly, his tone revealing a trace of vicissitudes: "I am not an ordinary human as you see. I am a tree spirit that has cultivated from the birch trees in this forest for hundreds of years. As for the changes in this place, I do know a thing or two."

"Please tell us in detail, maybe we can find a solution." Wang Hun said sincerely.

The old man nodded and slowly began to narrate: "This area has been blessed with talented people since ancient times. Countless animals and beasts have cultivated here, seeking breakthroughs. Most of them coexist peacefully, but there are also some with ferocious temperaments. The most powerful among them are the four major groups of brown bears, tigers, black bears and wolves."

"The wolf tribe was originally the weakest of the four tribes and was often bullied by the other three tribes. However, the turning point of fate occurred on the day when the wolf king accidentally obtained a piece of strange metal. The metal emitted a green light and had the magical power to strengthen the soul and promote communication between souls. Since the wolf king obtained it, the balance of power in this area has been completely broken."

"What exactly is that piece of metal?" Wang Hun asked curiously.

The old man shook his head, indicating that he didn't know clearly: "I don't know the specific origin, I only know that it has incredible power. Since the wolf king got the metal, its power has increased by leaps and bounds, and it can even challenge and defeat the kings of the other three tribes alone. And its power is also transmitted to the entire wolf tribe through the metal, which greatly increases the strength of the wolf tribe, enough to easily destroy the tiger tribe and the bear tribe."

Wang Hun listened to the old man's narration and understood a little. He vaguely guessed that the so-called strange metal was probably the face of the legendary God of Weapons' Blade - a part of a divine object with supreme power, enough to make ordinary people ascend to heaven in one step, and make already powerful creatures invincible.

However, Wang Hun knew that the secret of being a time traveler must not be revealed at this time. Once this secret is revealed, it may not only bring him trouble, but may even affect the development of the entire battle situation.

So he decided to temporarily conceal his true identity and participate in this dispute as an ordinary soldier.

Wang Hun turned to Han Fenglin and said softly, "After listening to the old man's words, I feel that this strange metal has a great connection with your Hades Clan."

Han Fenglin frowned and said thoughtfully, "I have also noticed something, but what kind of metal can have such great power to change the ecological balance of an entire region?"

“Don’t jump to conclusions yet, let’s just listen to what the old man has to say,” Wang Hun suggested.

Han Fenglinlin nodded in agreement, and the two of them looked at the old man again, waiting for him to continue telling the story of this strange change.

Wang Hun then said to the old man: "Old man, please continue."

The old man stroked his long beard and continued, "Since the wolf king got the strange metal, the situation has changed dramatically. The brown bears and tigers had to submit to the wolf tribe in order to survive. And those black bears who refused to surrender were either slaughtered or forced to cross the river called Heilongjiang and migrate north for a full 2,000 miles."

He sighed and continued, "Even the brown bears and tigers that surrendered were not spared. They were forced to leave their homes and migrate north for a thousand miles to cross the Heilongjiang River. Those tigers, brown bears and black bears who were unwilling to leave their homeland were hunted down by the wolves without exception."

After listening to the tree spirit's narration, Wang Hun and Han Fenglinlin had already made up their minds. Wang Hun said to Han Fenglinlin softly, "Let's put the exploration aside for now. Our next goal is to find the piece of metal and solve the problem here. I will use spiritualism to notify Sui Fengqiwu and the others first."

Han Fenglinlin nodded seriously to show his understanding.

Then, Wang Hun concentrated his mind and energy, performed the psychic technique, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, come here quickly, there is an important matter to deal with."

The other four generals immediately responded through spiritualism: "Yes, Marshal."

Then, Wang Hun turned around and said gently to the birch tree spirit: "Old man, we will take care of this matter. Now, we will wait here for a while, and our companions will come over soon."

When the birch tree spirit heard Wang Hun's words, it immediately showed a surprised expression and said gratefully: "Thank you very much, heroes."

So the three of them waited quietly there, ready to greet their upcoming companions.

At the same time, in a cave thousands of miles away, a giant wolf in human form was sitting on a throne made of tiger and bear skin bones. He was wearing clothes made of the fur of these beasts, looking majestic. Around the wolf king's neck hung a necklace with a strange piece of metal tied to it, shaped like the blade of a sword, emitting a faint green light.

Suddenly, the Wolf King seemed to sense something. His expression suddenly changed and he roared angrily: "Damn it! More than a dozen of my brothers are dead!"

A huge wolf stepped forward and asked, "My king, we have killed all the tigers and bears, and they have no power to resist. Who else dares to challenge us?"

There was a gleam of ferocity in the wolf king's eyes, and he said, "No matter who they are, now that I have obtained such powerful strength, I will make them pay the price!" After that, he grabbed a skinned brown bear corpse and swallowed it in one gulp, revealing his brutal nature.

On the other side, Han Fenglinlin, Wang Hun and Shu Ling were waiting. Soon, the other four generals arrived one after another and assembled.

Wang Hun described in detail what had just happened and the tree spirit's narration. After listening to it, the four generals all showed surprised expressions, obviously confused by this sudden change.

Mu Wumo pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I know that in the legends of the ancient Hades, there is a record that may be related to that mysterious metal."

Wang Hun asked curiously, "What legend?"

Mu Wumo said, "One hundred thousand years ago, the leader of our tribe, Chi You, once possessed an extremely powerful divine weapon called 'Blade of the God of Weapons'."

Dancing with the Wind asked curiously, "We have also heard of this legend, but does it have anything to do with what happened just now?"

Mu Wumo continued to explain: "Back then, the ancestor Chi You was defeated in the battle with the sky, and the God of Weapons' Blade was obtained by the Lord of the Gods. But he couldn't use this magic weapon, and was afraid that it would fall into the hands of the Hades, so he used the power of the entire ancient Gods to break it into pieces and scatter it all over the earth. Perhaps the mysterious metal is one of the fragments of the God of Weapons' Blade."

After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought. If the strange metal was really a fragment of the God of Weapons' Blade, then the power it possessed would be enough to explain all the changes that were happening before their eyes.

Wang Hun clenched his fists and said firmly: "No matter what, we must find the metal and stop the wolf tribe from continuing to wreak havoc on this land. The future of the Hades tribe and the peace of this land are in our hands."

The generals nodded in agreement.
