Chapter 118: Tribe leader Qwerek
“See there, that’s where our tribe leader lives. Once we meet him, he will clarify your remaining doubts,” Kraiww pointed at the top of the mountain where a house which was more significant than other homes.
Not only size but it looked more grandiose than any other houses at the bottom.
Just with a glance, anyone can say that the house belongs to someone who had great authority in the tribe.
Within no time, they landed in the open area in front of the grandiose looking house.
As though, he was expecting someone, a weak-looking older man came out of the house at the same time and looked at the Snow with tears in his eyes.
Behind the older man, two enormous wings covered his entire body which made Ajax unable to see his body.
“Judging from his looks he doesn’t look that powerful,” Seeing the older man, Ajax thought to himself in his mind.
Nevertheless, he used the system to check his cultivation level.
‘Ding,
Unable to check the strength of the cultivator with the host’s current strength.
‘Ding,
Please increase your strength to check the cultivation of the high-level cultivators.
“What? This old man has the strength of that level?” Ajax was shocked at the system notifications which were unable to discern the cultivation level of the older man in front of him.
Soon, he understood one thing: ‘Don’t underestimate a weak-looking older man, you don’t know what he is capable of’.
“I know, you feel that this is too much of a coincidence for your contracted spirit beast to become our tribe’s hope. But don’t worry, everything happens for a reason,” Before anyone can say anything, the weak looking but the strong older man said to Ajax looking at the confusion in his eyes.
“Huh?” Ajax looked at the old man in front of him with even more confusion.
Ajax was confused at the older man who was strong, but he appeared to be weak.
However, the older man misunderstood his confusion for another thing and said the earlier words to him.
“Hello Elder, my name is Ajax”, Ajax introduced himself politely to the old tribe leader.
“Hi, Ajax, I am Qrewek, the tribe leader of the Lightning Hawk tribe,” the old man also introduced himself with a small laugh on his old wrinkled face.
“If you want to ask any questions, you can ask me, I will answer to the best of my knowledge,” After introducing himself, seeing the hesitation on Ajax’s face, Qrewek asked Ajax to shoot his questions.
Nodding his head, Ajax quickly asked his first question, “Elder Qrewek, how do you know that Snow was my contracted beast?”.
“Huh, so, its name is Snow. That suits it,” Elder Qrewek praised its name before saying, “I sensed a spirit mark in its spirit consciousness and related it to you and finally concluded it as your contracted spirit beast.”
Ajax didn’t show the shock he was feeling inside his heart.
The reason for his shock was, it was impossible to sense other’s spirit consciousness without others’ permission much less detecting a spirit mark that was placed in the corner of the spirit consciousness.
‘I think he long crossed the realm of Elite general and entered the King realm’, Ajax thought of only one possibility and became even more alert glancing at the smiling old man in front of him.
“About the contest, will there be any problem for me at the contest?” Ajax asked his original question suppressing his shock.
“Yes, Although the Netherworld Ice Sparrow tribe don’t bother with you, the three-legged Fire Crow sun tribe won’t even spare a thought to not kill you”, Elder Qrewek slowly said, looking at Ajax’s face carefully.
“Why would they do that?” Ajax thought this was not as simple as it seems and asked Elder Qrewek.
“It traces back to the hundreds of years”, Elder Qrewek cleared his throat before continuing, “Around a hundred years ago, some humans from an unknown world entered the Five elemental world and stumbled upon the region ruled by the Fire crow tribe.
No one knows what happened between those otherworld humans and the Fire crow tribe members, but ever since then, they swore to kill every human they see, and in these last hundred years, they killed many humans from the other world.”
“Huh?” Ajax raised his brows when he heard the history between the humans and the Fire crow and wondered what could have happened between them that led them to an all-out war between them.
“You keep on saying ‘otherworldly humans’, did that mean there are no humans in this Five elemental world?” Ajax raised a question about the Five elemental world.
“That’s right, there are no humans in the Five elemental world, but occasionally some General and the elite general cultivators will appear, but no one knows how they end up here,” Elder Qrewek shook his head and stared at Ajax and asked, “How did you end up here?”.
“I, I cam….”, Ajax started stammering with his answer.
“Tribe leader Qrewek, a lot of loud noises are coming from the Ancient grounds. Moreover, the Fire crow tribe and the Netherworld Ice Sparrow tribe leaders along with their tribe members arrived at the entrance of the Ancient Grounds already”, A hawk tribe birdman came flying from a distance and quickly said the important news interrupting Ajax.
When someone interrupted him, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he really didn’t know what to explain to the Elder Qrewek’s question.
Hearing the news from his tribe member, Elder Qrewek shocked and looked in the direction of the birdman who came from behind a mountain.
“Is it time already?” Elder Qrewek muttered slowly before turning to Ajax and threw a small white feather at him.
Ajax caught it when he heard the Elder Qrewek’s words, “It is our Ancestor, Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor’s feather, it will help you in keeping your identity as a human and make others think that you are of a Lightning dragon hawk tribe.”
When he heard the words of the Elder Qrewek, his hands trembled.
As for a reason, it was very simple. The small white feather belonged to the Legendary Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor.
