Chapter 701 - 701 A Girl from the Outer Realm
701 A Girl from the Outer Realm
“What about you? What’s your name?”
The girl named Ji Han blinked her black eyes and asked.
Lu Benwei felt that his life was a little disillusioned. Not only did he meet a human in the outer realm, but he was also hit on by her.
“My name is Hongyi!” Lu Benwei thought about it and decided to use a fake name.
“Hello Hongyi, nice to meet you!” Ji Han grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.
Then, she raised her fist and punched Lu Benwei’s chest. This attack almost knocked Lu Benwei’s soul out. Soon, he understood that this might be the way humans greeted each other.
Ji Han did not continue to attack Lu Benwei. Instead, she used the bone knife tied to her leg to cut off a piece of meat and started to eat it.
This was a very strong and well-mannered woman. The air was filled with the sound of her smacking lips.
Lu Benwei looked at her like this, allowing her to snatch the fruits of his labor.
“Where’s your tribe? How many people are there in the tribe?” Lu Benwei asked tentatively.
He wanted to use Ji Han’s answer to figure out how many humans there were on this continent.
Ji Han stopped eating and leaned her head over. She sniffed hard Lu Benwei’s scent.
Lu Benwei did not know what to do with Ji Han. He leaned back to prevent intimate contact with her.
Ji Han continued to feast.
“In terms of numbers, our tribe has about five hundred people. It’s a small tribe.”
Lu Benwei blinked and was a little speechless. However, he was certain that this continent should be in the southern part of the Dragon Kingdom as he had come ashore from the north, he had been heading south all the way.
Then, he asked, “Why did you just…”
Before he could finish, Lu Benwei was interrupted by Ji Han. “You’re not them. I thought you were a spy sent by them to infiltrate our Ji Tribe.”
“Who are they?”
“Who else could it be? It’s the Jiang Tribe!” Ji Han rolled her eyes and asked speechlessly, “Don’t you know about the Jiang Tribe? Oh, right, I haven’t asked where you’re from yet.”
Lu Benwei was speechless. He really did not know how to answer. After all, he was an outsider to Ji Han.
At this moment, Ji Han shrugged and said resentfully, “Forget it. Looking at your attire, it’s obvious that those great countries have sent out disciples from aristocratic families. They won’t tell me the truth. Maybe even your name Hongyi is fake!”
Lu Benwei was a little speechless. He felt like he was taking the initiative. “What are you doing in the great wilderness mountains?”
“What else can I do? The war with the Jiang Tribe is about to begin.” Ji Han rolled her eyes at Lu Benwei.
“Spirit summoning?!” Lu Benwei asked in surprise. The first thing he thought of was the war monster.
“What’s there to be surprised about?” Ji Han looked at him in disbelief.
Then, she opened her mouth in disbelief and said excitedly, “Ah, then are you from the Qin Country or the Ming Country?”
Lu Benwei rolled his eyes.
“Ah, Ming Country’s Eldest Young Master, please keep me as a mistress!” Ji Han directly threw Lu Benwei to the ground, rubbing her cheeks against her chest as she said coquettishly.
Lu Benwei was troubled by this girl from the primitive tribe.
After pushing her away, Lu Benwei said seriously, “Tell me, what’s the spirit you’re summoning?”
Ji Han exhaled and said, “It’s a guardian monster! The tribe was very weak in the beginning and couldn’t survive on this land. That’s why we need to find spirits to protect them.”
Ji Han stuck out her tongue and said playfully, “It’s to seek help from a stronger entity. As long as you can reach a condition with a strong expert such as offering tributes to him on a certain day every year, you can enter into a contract with the strong entity and become the spirit of the tribe.”
“Back then, your great Ming Country had a very powerful spirit!”
“What’s a strong entity?” Lu Benwei asked.
“You don’t even know what it is?” Ji Han asked in disbelief, “How did your family dare to let you come out to gain experience?”
“The Raging Inferno Bull you killed is a strong entity!”
Lu Benwei understood. It seemed that the people on this land did not have the concept of monsters, demonic beasts, or war monsters. Instead, it was replaced by a strong entity and a spirit.
Monsters and demonic beasts were collectively called ferocious. The so-called spirit was similar to a war monster.
Lu Benwei asked, “What’s the spirit of your village?”
Ji Han chuckled. “It’s one of the most powerful apes in the Great Wilderness Mountains!”
“So, it’s the Monster Ape!” Lu Benwei heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not kill the Ji Tribe’s spirit just now. Otherwise, in this world where the strong preyed on the weak, the Ji Clan might have been trampled to the ground by the Jiang Tribe.
Suddenly, Lu Benwei quivered. He remembered the characteristic of the Monster Ape, lecherous which likes to rape humans, especially seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls!
Then, he looked at Ji Han. She was 1.73 meters tall, her skin was delicate and smooth, and her facial features were elegant and refined. Her figure was good. It did not make people feel regretful or arrogant. It was just right. Although she was a little careless and did things rudely, when she was quiet, she was a top-notch goddess!
“You, do you know what your tribe pay as a tribute to the Monster Ape every year?” Lu Benwei swallowed his saliva and asked nervously.
“Of course, I know.”
Lu Benwei’s heart skipped a beat, and a bad picture appeared in his mind.
Then, Ji Han took out a stone from her leather bag.
Ji Han gritted her teeth and said, “Grandpa Chief said to give this black gold stone to the Monster Ape.”
Lu Benwei’s heart sank. No matter how he looked at it, this stone looked ordinary. It was just a little black. He guessed that her tribe had deceived Ji Han…
“Where are your tribesmen? Didn’t they accompany you?” Lu Benwei asked.
“The war is imminent, and they can’t spare any manpower,” Ji Han replied.
“Previously, when you were offering a tribute to the spirit, did your Ji Tribe send people out every time, but no one came back?” Lu Benwei kindly reminded the girl who had been deceived.
“Of course!”
Ji Han counted with her fingers.
“Last year, the second and third tribe leaders went with Sister Xin. In the end, Sister Xin was bitten by a snake and died in the mountains.” Ji Han’s tone became dejected.
“Two years ago, it was my father and the tribe leader, second uncle, Brother Chang, and the others. Sister Yiyi and Sister Yangyang also went with them. In the end, neither of them came back.”
The more Ji Han spoke, the sadder she became, but she still did not realize that something was wrong.
