System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

When we arrived near Zelinhai, it was already sunset.

Chen Xuan did not choose to enter the interior at night, but instead chose to stay overnight at a nearby small tribe, and would officially set off for Zelinhai the next day to choose a site for construction.

After the tribe found a place to live, Chen Xuan was no longer as anxious as before, because the time a mortal could spend inside the glass treasure box was limited.

The awakened Longxia people can only stay inside for three days, while the slumbering state can only last for a maximum of seven days.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan found a place to live on the second day after arriving in this great world of cultivation.

Therefore, Chen Xuan was in a very relaxed mood at this moment.

He swooped down and landed on the mountain forest, heading towards a small village that was clearly visible, built against the mountainside. Chen Xuan had already seen this small tribe from high above through the moonlight.

This tribe is estimated to be smaller than the Beast Tooth tribe. According to Chen Xuan's perception, it has no more than a hundred people, and most of them are women, children, and the elderly. There are very few strong men.

Even the guards at the gate of this small tribe could tell that it was a boy of about sixty years old and an old man of sixty, both dressed in rough animal skins and carrying very old bows and arrows.

The old man looked somewhat dejected, seemingly malnourished, and was dozing off listlessly.

The boy, though only a teenager, seemed quite excited. He held a bow and arrow taller than himself and dutifully kept watch for any movement around him under the moonlight, occasionally gazing into the distance towards the village, hoping to see familiar figures return.

Suddenly, the boy seemed to see a figure walking towards him by the light of the night.

At first, the boy thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. After all, it was the middle of the night, and who would dare to wander around alone?

It's definitely not human except for monsters.

He immediately spoke to the old man who was dozing off beside him, but the old man ignored him and waved his hand to signal the boy to be quiet and not to speak. He also said that if a lone figure approached at this time, it must be a great demon and could not be human.

However, just as the two were talking, the figure in the moonlight had already arrived at the entrance of the village.

The old man opened his eyes unexpectedly and saw this scene. He was so frightened that he trembled all over, and many fearful speculations flashed through his mind.

"A demon, a great demon!"

"Ah Gou, quickly blow the horn!"

The old man in the animal skin was on high alert, and the boy dared not be careless either. He immediately picked up a wild animal horn from the ground, puffed out his cheeks, and blew it hard.

Waaaaah-

The deep, melodious sound of the horn, like a roar tearing through the quiet night, immediately brought the entire village to a clamor.

Some people hid their meager food and dried meat, while others hurriedly hid their young children in the cellar, and they themselves grabbed crude weapons and headed towards the main gate of the village.

Sensing the panic among the villagers, Chen Xuan smiled and said, "There's no need to panic. I'm just passing through and hoping to stay the night. I'll be leaving tomorrow."

As he spoke, Chen Xuan, worried that the other party might not believe him, took out a piece of gleaming gold and threw it towards the top of the main gate of the village.

The old man reached out and caught the gold. After weighing it in his hand, he finally felt relieved.

At least the invaders weren't powerful demons. If they were powerful demons capable of transforming into humans, given the strength of their small tribe, the powerful demons probably wouldn't waste any words and would have slaughtered and devoured them immediately.

"Don't be alarmed, everyone. It's not a powerful demon attacking; we have distinguished guests seeking lodging!"

The old man held the gold in his hand and shouted to the clansmen gathered at the entrance of the village.

As he shouted, the old man gestured to the boy beside him to open the gate and welcome the important person in.

Soon, the heavy wooden gate of the village was opened, and a group of elderly, weak, women and children came into view. In the light of the torches, Chen Xuan could tell that this tribe must be living a very difficult life, otherwise the people would not be so pale and emaciated.
