Chapter 160: Territory of the Male Clan

Hearing Chu Feng give such a reply, Yuzui naturally found it hard to say anything further.

After all, Chu Feng's words were not without reason.

Moreover, the reason Chu Feng had killed Dong Zhuo first and then Dong Zhe, eliminating two chieftain-level figures of the male tribe in succession, was entirely for the benefit of the female tribe.

Even if Chu Feng were to kill Yun Fei as well, driving the male and female tribes into an irreconcilable conflict, at least the members of the female tribe would never utter a single word of blame against him.

"By the way, Sister Yuzui, I never imagined you could communicate with the Thunder-Convergence King Beast! Have you learned some secret art of beast language or something similar?"

Seeing the worried expression on Yuzui's flower-like face, clearly troubled by the prospects of the two tribes, Chu Feng deliberately changed the subject.

No one could predict what would happen next, and rather than worrying in her heart, it was better to talk about something else.

"Yes, Brother Chu Feng, I do know a beast language technique that allows me to communicate mentally with beasts," Yuzui nodded and said.

"Oh? That beast language technique sounds truly fascinating! Does that mean you can freely converse with all birds and beasts and know what is in their hearts?"

Chu Feng asked, thinking to himself that such a secret art was far more interesting than killing and fighting techniques.

"Not quite."

Yuzui shook her head. "I can only communicate with beasts of higher intelligence, such as the Thunder-Convergence King Beast and the Snowy Tyrannosaurus. If they are ants, flying insects, or ordinary birds and beasts, communication is impossible."

"Ah, well, that's already remarkable! Look at your Brother Chu Feng, I've truly been a terrible master to the Thunder-Convergence King Beast. Ever since I brought it along, all I've done these past few days is let it satisfy its craving for battle, without ever feeding it a proper meal. If you hadn't reminded me, this Thunder-Convergence King Beast would have starved to death or half-death by now. I am truly ashamed!"

Chu Feng laughed speechlessly, imagining that the Thunder-Convergence King Beast was a proud and spirited savage beast, and must hold quite a deep resentment toward him as its master!

"Hehe, Brother Chu Feng really knows how to joke!"

Yuzui could not help but laugh, a sudden thought occurring to her. "By the way, Brother Chu Feng, that Thunder-Convergence King Beast might not be a mere savage beast at all—it could very well be a profound beast!"

"What? A profound beast?"

Hearing this, Chu Feng was deeply startled.

After all, Chu Feng originated from the Fierce Beast Gate, a sect renowned throughout the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Ridges for its fierce and numerous beasts. His knowledge of beasts was neither little nor vast, and he had certainly heard of what profound beasts were.

Profound beasts were vastly superior to savage beasts.

The difference between a profound beast and a savage beast was like the difference between a savage beast and a wild beast, or a wild beast and a domestic animal—there was simply no comparison.

Generally speaking, martial artists in the Outer Force stage could subdue all wild beasts, and could even subjugate savage beasts like the Vajra Battle Rhinoceros. Meanwhile, experts in the Inner Force stage could subdue all savage beasts, but it was absolutely impossible for them to subdue a profound beast.

Profound beasts were creatures that could only possibly be subdued by cultivators who had stepped into the profound cultivation realm.

"Brother Chu Feng, for now I cannot determine with certainty whether the Thunder-Convergence King Beast is a savage beast or a profound beast. However, I suspect it might be a rare mutation among savage beasts, and even if it remains a savage beast for now, it has the potential to evolve into a profound beast in the future!"

Yuzui said.

"Hmm, I suppose so! At the very least, judging by how things stand, the Thunder-Convergence King Beast can effortlessly slaughter a high-level savage beast like the Snowy Tyrannosaurus. Even if it is not a profound beast, it possesses the combat power of one!"

Chu Feng was extremely excited.

For a martial artist, possessing a powerful battle pet was equivalent to a massive boost to one's combat effectiveness. Such a boosting effect could not be compared to pills, cultivation methods, or weapons and equipment of the same grade.

This was because resources like pills and cultivation methods were dead objects, whereas a battle pet was alive. Naturally, the value of a living creature exceeded that of inanimate objects.

"Sister Yuzui, once the matters concerning the male tribe are settled, I will have to trouble you to communicate with the Thunder-Convergence King Beast and find out whether it is a savage beast or a profound beast, and how I, its master, should properly feed and care for it!"

"Mm, no problem!"

As the group was talking, the Bouncing Rabbit leaped high into the air. Through the clouds, Chu Feng saw the icy landscape below shifting before his eyes, transforming into what seemed like a utopian paradise.

Countless dome tents of all sizes and vibrant colors were scattered like colorful chess pieces across the massive chessboard of the Nether Ice Sea. Viewed from high above, the scene was dazzling yet orderly.

All around these endless dome tents, numerous sea lions, walruses, and other marine beasts roamed about. In the high skies, flocks of giant sea birds flew in formation, and the cacophony of their cries echoed for miles around.

Aside from the abundant fauna, within two or three bounds of the Bouncing Rabbit, Chu Feng spotted a vast expanse of ice where all kinds of colorful flowering trees and verdant grasses were planted, filling his vision with brilliant hues.

"Didn't they say the male tribe has an abundance of ice shell golden pearls and lacks fauna and flora resources? Why do these resources look so plentiful here?"

Chu Feng asked in a daze, wondering if he had somehow returned to the pristine ecological resource zone of the female tribe.

"Not at all!"

Jin Sheng shook her head. "Saying that the male tribe lacks fauna and flora resources is only relative—they certainly cannot compare to the female tribe. In truth, the male tribe also possesses rich resources; they simply lack one crucial type of plant: the Cold Moon Grass! If their male territory also had Cold Moon Grass, they could freely use the Scorching Sun Art to slaughter the Nether Ice Mother Shells, and they wouldn't need to deal with our female tribe at all!"

"So that's how it is!"

Chu Feng nodded in understanding.

"Alright, let's stop here!"

Heng Mei suddenly spoke up from mid-air.

After traveling for so long, the four of them had now arrived at the territory of the male tribe. They reined in their mounts simultaneously and switched to walking on foot.

"Hmm? Who are those one man and three women?"

"They... aren't those the three capable women of the female tribe? Who is that man?"

"That man is obviously an outsider. Could it be Chu Feng?"

"Chu Feng? No way! Didn't Young Master Dong Zhe lead thirteen stewards to the female tribe to seek revenge against Chu Feng? Why would he appear here? And what business do these three capable women have coming here?"

"This matter is of great importance. Go quickly and inform Steward Chen Feng!"

The residential area of the male tribe was only a few dozen yards away. Just as the four of them took a few steps, they were immediately spotted by the members of the male tribe.

Amidst the discussions of the tribesmen, a young martial artist dressed in the attire of a male tribe steward hurried over.

"I am Chen Feng, a steward of the male tribe. May I ask what brings the three capable women to our male tribe?"

The steward named Chen Feng led several male tribe warriors and called out from a distance, his tone clearly tinged with surprise and apprehension.

In the eyes of these male tribe warriors, the sudden arrival of Heng Mei, Yuzui, and Jin Sheng, accompanied by an unfathomable Chu Feng, clearly meant they came with ill intentions.
