Pretending To Be A Boss

Dong Ran rarely saw Tang Xian speak so seriously, and felt somewhat anxious in her heart.

It was at this moment that everyone felt the previously tranquil earth begin to tremble violently!

The magnitude of the shaking was far more exaggerated than the stampede of tens of thousands of creatures from just moments ago!

Tang Xian made another gesture for everyone to be silent.

He didn't dare to stick his head out, but he knew that it must be dark outside by now.

It was as if dusk had fallen just a second ago, and the next second it turned into night.

It wasn't that night had fallen, but that the mountainside-like body of a walking giant had obscured all light.

The enormous footprints were almost the size of a basketball court, hinting at the colossal size of the creature's body.

The feedback from his sense of smell told Tang Xian that there were nearly forty Zudun Giants here.

His breathing became tense.

Creatures of such immense size had extremely obvious disadvantages, but they also possessed tremendous combat advantages.

A single Zudun Giant was naturally of no concern to Tang Xian, but forty perfect-level bosses were passing by.

Feeling their terrifying footsteps, he truly worried that one accidental step on this low hill would leave everyone, if not dead, at least seriously injured.

Dong Ran covered her mouth, her eyes nearly bursting out, wanting to scream, but not daring to speak.

It wasn't just Dong Ran, even Qiao Shanshan and Tang Xiaojiu, and even Akasi's expression became extremely grave.

In their line of sight, they saw a gigantic pupil.

A Zudun person crouched down, seemingly sensing the presence inside the cave.

It bent over, its face close to the ground, but the cave entrance was just too small for it.

So what everyone in the cave saw was one gigantic eye!

Tang Xian had his back to the cave entrance, his body merely one meter away from this eye.

Cold sweat poured down Tang Xian's back. Even without seeing the eye himself, he could roughly understand the situation from everyone's expressions.

The giant eye roamed around and finally focused on Tang Xiaojiu.

It revealed a look of puzzlement. After looking at Tang Xiaojiu for quite some time, it turned its gaze back to Tang Xian.

To the people in the cave, this felt like facing an alien creature that looked similar to an eye.

Then it let out a tremendous roar.

"Why are you with humans?"

A message flashed through Tang Xian's mind, startling him. He quickly realized.

Indeed, the Giants from the legends, the Zudun people were perfect-level boss entities, naturally capable of communicating with him.

But Tang Xian didn't speak.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind about the day's events.

The Bloody Wilderness had been a habitat for herds of cattle for hundreds of years.

And those lions and antelopes should have come from other forests of the Northern Region, while the Zudun people, with their huge statures, were usually hidden like stone sculptures within the great marshes.

They were not creatures that should have appeared in this place.

Why would the Nvwa Snake migrate from the Far North, even daring to face the fox tribe that had a cataclysm-level boss entity?

Tang Xian thought it might have something to do with the White Phosphorus Serpent Demon but immediately shook his head.

It wasn't very likely.

The scale of the beast horde just now, along with these forty or so Zudun Giants, let alone a disaster-level boss, even a cataclysm-level boss couldn't have caused such a huge impact.

"If you're not going to talk, then I will take my clansmen and leave, okay?"

The giant eye blinked, then slowly moved away from the cave entrance.

The message in his mind left Tang Xian unsettled for a long time.

Not until the true nightfall descended, not until the land had already quieted, did Tang Xian's group still maintain their vigilance.

Only after a long time did Tang Xian finally say in a deep voice:

"In history, there was a record of such a massive migration, not just of one type of lifeform, but nearly several regions' ecological systems collectively migrating."

"That was three hundred years ago, when the great scholar Publius went to the Southern Region and witnessed it. Contrary to what we just experienced, that group of lifeforms was moving from south to north, while this group of lifeforms was migrating from north to south." Experience new stories on empire

Tang Xian took a deep breath, calmed down, and started a bonfire.

Seeing Tang Xian's expression return to calm, both Qiao Shanshan and Dong Ran also began to feel at ease.

Seeing Tang Xian as calm as usual instinctively made them feel safe.

As for the beast tide not long ago, it was also the first time they saw Tang Xian so tense.

"What was the cause of the migration?" Qiao Shanshan asked.

Tang Xian said:

"Publius only proposed a hypothesis, that there is a special force field in this world which resonates with the crystals in the brains of lifeforms, but this force field can change due to some special reasons."

"Some lifeforms are unaffected, while others are driven away by this force field."

"I have no way to verify Publius's view because he mentioned something that I find quite terrifying."

Akasi asked curiously, "What did he say?"

Tang Xian answered:

"He is a scholar who has traveled further than Fernando, and he once came across the remains of northern lifeforms in the far south, as well as the footprints of eastern plains lifeforms on the western highlands."

"Does that mean something?" Qiao Shanshan was puzzled.

"It doesn't prove anything, but that scholar had a very bold conjecture; he believed that there is something in this world manipulating the habits of lifeforms."

Dong Ran didn't understand this concept, while Qiao Shanshan shook her head and said:

"Isn't that a bit far-fetched?"

Tang Xian did not respond, his mind wandering back to the Wan Beast Court that Qing JiuYu had mentioned.

Qing JiuYu herself was a calamity-level boss entity; among the lifeforms known to humans, she was easily among the strongest. Yet, it seemed, she too had to obey the Wan Beast Court.

Tang Xian shook his head and said:

"Get some rest. This migration does not affect our hunting, but I hope that while you do not fear this world, you also do not underestimate it."

Dong Ran and Qiao Shanshan nodded. Qiao Shanshan had wanted to ask if they could find the snake, but seeing Tang Xian's demeanor, it seemed he was quite confident.

Tang Xiaojiu suddenly said:

"Tang Xian, I miss Qing. After we catch the big snake, can we go see her?"

"Sure, I also have some things I want to ask her. Bringing the snake gall, she should be very happy."

Dong Ran was startled, and Qiao Shanshan's ears perked up.

Both women were very curious about Tang Xiaojiu's identity, and Akasi was also somewhat curious. Unlike the women, he could sense some unusual aura from the little girl.

It was a feeling more dangerous than that of perfect-level lifeforms.

Dong Ran asked hesitantly,

"Tang, who is Qing?"

"Do you want to ask for yourself, or on behalf of the Second Miss of your house?"

"Of... of course, on behalf of the Second Miss..."

"Oh, I'm not telling you. Tang Xiaojiu, don't you tell them either."

"Oh, Big Chest Sister, Tang Xian won't let me tell you, so don't ask me, okay?" Tang Xiaojiu said.

"..." Dong Ran fell silent.

Qiao Shanshan was startled again. Tang Xian certainly knew a lot of women... It seemed like the Second Miss of Dong Ran's family must have some feelings for Tang Xian. Sometimes she thought Dong Ran looked at Tang Xian with admiration. Could Qing be related to Xiaojiu, entrusting the little girl to Tang Xian's care? That relationship must also be out of the ordinary.

Humph, definitive proof of a playboy.
