Chapter 452 - 452 452 What if I don't

452: Chapter 452: What if I don’t?

452: Chapter 452: What if I don’t?

Huang Xiaolong heard this and looked at the Beastman Anton with interest, “What if I don’t?”

“Don’t?” Anton laughed, “If your head is harder than this tree, then try this!” He finished speaking and punched at a tree as thick as a thigh beside him.

Immediately, the tree was blasted apart and sent flying.

Anton withdrew his fist and proudly said, “How about it, is your head harder than this tree?” and broke out laughing.

The surrounding Beastmen also burst into laughter.

When Anton’s laughter ceased, he looked at Huang Xiaolong fiercely and said, “You feeble human, it would be best for you to get up now, and roast each of us one, or else, hehe, I’ll blast your head into mush with one punch!”

Huang Xiaolong shook his head with a smile.

Even the Heavenly Thunder blasting down on him in the Star Thunder Canyon could only massage him, and this Beastman thought to smash his head into mush?

Now, even if a Holy Domain Sixth Stage Expert punched Huang Xiaolong, it could only tickle him.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong not only refusing to stand but also sitting there shaking his head and laughing, Anton was furious inside, a weak human actually ignoring him?!

Filled with rage, he was about to raise both fists to smash the feeble human’s head into mush, when suddenly, he saw the weak human in his eyes raise a hand and point, and then, tree after tree in front of him fell down, toppling for who knows how many miles, stretching beyond sight.

Anton’s mouth hung open in shock, his fists frozen midair, staring dazedly at the trees fallen for miles on end.

All the surrounding Beastmen quieted down.

Only the sound of the campfire and the sizzling of the roasting meat dripping with fat remained.

Huang Xiaolong took a bite of the Beast meat in his hand.

“Indeed, the taste is not bad,” said Huang Xiaolong.

It was only then that all the Beastmen snapped back to reality, looking at Huang Xiaolong with eyes filled with fear, respect, and even worship.

Compared to other races, the Beastmen revered strength and worshipped the strong even more.

Huang Xiaolong bit down fiercely again, not knowing why, but after cultivating in the Star Thunder Canyon, he found himself particularly craving roasted meat, as if he hadn’t eaten it in many years.

“Is your head harder than these trees?” Huang Xiaolong spoke.

Anton’s face turned pale with fright and he knelt down abruptly, bowing to Huang Xiaolong, “Respected Sir, Anton was disrespectful just now, please spare Anton’s life!”

All the Beastmen knelt down, their demeanor respectful.

Huang Xiaolong glanced at the Beastmen, “Stand up,” he said.

If he had been angry, none of these Beastmen would still be standing now.

A smile of relief spread across Anton’s face as he respectfully replied, standing up with the other Beastmen, respectfully waiting by the side.

“Who is the leader among you?” Huang Xiaolong asked.

At that moment, the Beastman Amir walked out from the crowd, came before Huang Xiaolong, and respectfully said, “Sir, my name is Amir, and I am the squad leader of the tribe.”

“Sit,” Huang Xiaolong gestured to a spot nearby.

Amir was somewhat flustered, “No no no, Sir, I’ll stand.”

“If I tell you to sit, then sit,” Huang Xiaolong said.

Only then did Amir give his thanks respectfully and sat down uneasily.

“Don’t be nervous, I just want to ask you something,” Huang Xiaolong said.

“Yes, Sir!” Amir replied respectfully, though his voice still trembled slightly.

Beastmen are generally very tall, the shorter ones are at least two meters tall and the taller ones are up to two and a half or even two meters six.

If one speaks solely of physique, humans indeed seem very frail in comparison to Beastmen.

Furthermore, considering the human forces on the Shifang Continent were originally not strong, it’s no wonder the Beastmen always looked down upon the feeble humans.

However, Huang Xiaolong could tell that this group of Beastmen did not hold a high status among their kind.

There are dozens of Beastman races, with the strongest being the Lion Clan, Tiger Clan, Wolf Clan, Snake Clan, Fox Clan, and the Bimon Clan, followed by the Cow Clan, Mammoth Clan, Sheep Clan, and Hundred Birds Clan.

These are the Ten Great Races of the Beastman Clan.

And clearly, this group of Beastmen did not belong to any of those ten races.

“Is that Hundred Tigers City up ahead?” Huang Xiaolong asked.

“Yes, sir.

After passing through the Wandering Soul Forest, it’s less than a hundred miles away, that’s Hundred Tigers City,” Amir respectfully answered.

Huang Xiaolong then inquired, “Is Hundred Tigers City a city of the Tiger Clan?”

In a respectful tone, Amir confirmed that Hundred Tigers City was indeed a city of the Tiger Clan.

The Tiger Clan controlled twenty-five cities, and Hundred Tigers City was just one of them.

However, Hundred Tigers City was one of the more important cities for the Tiger Clan.

Huang Xiaolong nodded.

Being one of the Ten Great Races of the Beastman Clan, the Tiger Clan indeed had no small influence, a fact that could be inferred from their control of twenty-five cities.

Subsequently, Huang Xiaolong inquired further about the City Lord of Hundred Tigers City and some details of the Tiger Clan.

However, since Amir was just a small team leader from a minor tribe, his knowledge was quite limited.

Upon mentioning the City Lord of Hundred Tigers City, Amir spoke with reverence, “Our City Lord Goodman is one of the top ten experts of the Tiger Clan!

I’ve heard the Clan Leader say that Lord Goodman once leveled a mountain with a single punch!”

A single punch that leveled a mountain.

Huang Xiaolong smiled inwardly, knowing that generally anyone who reached the Holy Domain could easily do that, and for a Beastman known for their strength, it was even less of a feat.

After getting the information he wanted, Huang Xiaolong fell into deep thought.

From Amir’s answers, it was evident that while the Beastman Clan’s influence on the Shifang Continent was vast, unity between different races was lacking—for instance, the Lion Clan and the Tiger Clan often engaged in warfare.

Furthermore, Amir’s words also confirmed that the Beast God was a sacred belief in the hearts of all Beastmen, that any Beastman who dared to blaspheme or disrespect the Beast God would be considered a sinner among all Beastman races!

And the mythical Beast God’s Staff, according to legend, represented the Beast God.

For tens of thousands of years, the Beastman Clan firmly believed that whoever possessed the Beast God’s Staff would be the avatar of the Beast God and would be capable of leading the Beastman Clan to restore the glory of Ancient Times.

After a while, Huang Xiaolong made a decision.

If that was the case, he would have to see for himself whether the Beast God’s Staff truly held such reverence among the Beastman Clan when he passed through Hundred Tigers City.

“My lord,” noticing Huang Xiaolong deep in thought, Amir cautiously asked, “Are you heading to Hundred Tigers City?

We are from Hundred Tigers City ourselves, may we travel with you, my Lord?”

In the Wandering Soul Forest, there was a kind of monster called Wandering Soul that fed on human flesh.

If they could accompany a strong expert like Huang Xiaolong, their safety would be greatly increased.

Amir’s thoughts were quite transparent to Huang Xiaolong, yet Huang Xiaolong nodded in agreement.

Amir did not expect Huang Xiaolong to truly consent to their company, and feeling overjoyed, he and Anton respectfully expressed their thanks.

A night passed.

The sunlight began to emerge.

However, the Wandering Soul Forest was still filled with gusts of cold wind.

The intense sunlight of the day could not disperse the chilly air within the forest.

Huang Xiaolong stood up.

“Let’s go!”

“Yes, my Lord!”

Huang Xiaolong led the group of Beastmen deeper into the Wandering Soul Forest.

The forest was not too large, and given their pace, they would be able to cross it in half a day.
