Chapter 5814: Limited Intelligence
Long Chen couldn’t help frowning. To say such a thing at this time, was this person’s brain even functional?
If it weren’t for him, who knew how much longer they would have had to fight, and how many of them would have died? He didn’t even ask for their gratitude, but instead he got such a hurtful response?
“Elder Xifeng, what are you saying? If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have won such a victory. Who knows how many of us would have managed to leave here alive?” shouted the woman angrily.
That Elder Xifeng was a wrinkled old man. The race leader’s chiding made him curl his lips. He didn’t respond, but his displeasure was written on his face.
The woman hastily told Long Chen, “I’m truly sorry. My Dragon Tree race’s heads aren’t very flexible. To use your human race’s words, we have wood for brains. Please don’t take offense. I am Huai Minjun. You should be Mo Nian?”
“Ah, no, that was just a lie. Mo Nian is one of my brothers. I am Long Chen,” said Long Chen.
Although Long Chen was a bit irritated with that Elder Xifeng, the race leader at least was a bit smarter.
“Race leader, Long Chen is an old acquaintance of mine. Back then, when I was trapped… he was the one who saved me.” At this time, Uncle Tree squeezed over.
Huai Minjun was surprised. “It was him?”
Back then, when Uncle Tree found them, he had a strange aura around him. The Undying Dragon Tree race actually didn’t dare to accept him just like that. In the end, his arrival even caused Huai Minjun to come out.Uncle Tree naturally didn’t dare to hide anything in front of Huai Minjun. He told her about how he had been trapped and enslaved on a Ghost Ship. He also mentioned Long Chen.
However, at the time, all he said was that a human had saved him. At the time, Huai Minjun was only interested in confirming his identity. She didn’t ask too much about his savior.
Only now did she learn that the one to help him was actually this person who had helped them win this battle. Her wariness instantly dropped quite a bit.
Huai Minjun smiled and said, “So you’re our old friend. Thank you for helping the Dragon Tree race twice.”
Huai Minjun actually bowed slightly to Long Chen. Long Chen hastily returned the bow and said, “You’re too courteous. I have a deep relationship with the Undying Willow race. We can all be considered friends.”
Hearing that he was related to the Undying Willow race, they were all shocked. It had to be known that the Undying Dragon Tree race was fully loyal to the Undying Willow race.
Back when Uncle Tree first spoke to Huai Minjun, he had also mentioned this to her. But she hadn’t taken it seriously.
After all, the Undying Willow race was an enormous existence. There were countless factions with relations to them. Thus, back then, she couldn’t even be bothered to ask Long Chen’s name.
However, she hadn’t expected this person who had once helped Uncle Tree to also help them again today. She couldn’t help feeling a bit ashamed.
Back then, she had thought about thanking the person who saved Uncle Tree, but she was extremely busy and hadn’t viewed that matter seriously. Furthermore, just what was she supposed to say to thank him?
Not all races were like the human race and capable of spouting a bunch of meaningless pleasantries. The Undying Dragon Tree race didn’t have that many words.
“We made a large disturbance here. Perhaps we should switch locations to avoid any potential trouble?” suggested Huai Minjun.
“I’ll listen to senior,” said Long Chen with a smile.
As a result, the Undying Dragon Tree race’s experts quickly left this place. A battle on this scale would easily attract the attention of others.
Currently, the nine heavens and ten lands were in chaos. There were countless dangers. The Undying Dragon Tree race had just experienced a large battle, and many of them were injured. If they were to encounter another group on the same level as the Scarlet Blaze Evil Spirit race, that would be troublesome.
In this chaotic world, everyone had to be cautious. If they encountered an even stronger race, they might be wiped out.
They traveled for half a day before they finally stopped and rested.
During this process, they encountered two more groups traveling. Those factions were comparatively smaller. When they sensed the Undying Dragon Tree race’s aura, they directly fled.
At this time, the Undying Dragon Tree race’s higher-ups were all gathered. There were seventeen late stage Divine Emperors.
Originally, Uncle Tree wasn’t qualified to be here, but due to this relation with Long Chen, he had to stay. He couldn’t help being nervous.
“Long Chen, it’s not that we don’t trust it. We just need to know a bit more about you.” One of those elders took the lead.
This elder was precisely the one who said that the human race was deceitful and couldn’t be trusted, Elder Xifeng.
Long Chen indifferently said, “If you have questions, go ahead. But remember not to talk like this is an interrogation. I’ll be displeased in that case.”
“Long Chen, please don’t misunderstand. Really, it’s not that we don’t trust you, it’s just that this matter relates to our Sovereign King race. As subordinates, we must be careful. Please don’t hold a grudge,” said Huai Minjun apologetically.
“Sovereign King race?” asked Long Chen.
Huai Minjun nodded. “Yes, the Undying Willow race. They are the Sovereign race of the Undying race. If you say you are connected to them, we must be cautious.”
“The main thing is that we’ve suffered at the hands of your human race multiple times. Your human race has cheated us many times,” said Elder Xifeng bitterly.
“Xifeng!”
Huai Minjun glared at him. He stubbornly said, “I’m telling the truth.”
“Even if it is the truth, it’s not something to say now. You could have just told us in secret,” said another elder.
Long Chen looked at Huai Minjun’s face. He suddenly realized that they had to have been tricked by the human race more than once.
The main thing was that these people said whatever they were thinking. They couldn’t hide secrets. Just as Huai Minjun said, they weren’t very intelligent, so naturally they were wary of the human race.
Although Long Chen had helped them, the human race had schemed against them several times. Thus, they couldn’t fully trust him.
With this, Long Chen could understand this Elder Xifeng’s response to him. He was frank and spoke what he was thinking. As for the other one, although he had tried to advise him, just from the words he used, his intelligence was also clearly limited.
After realizing this, Long Chen’s previous anger at his remarks vanished. He smiled. “Everyone, it was just a coincidence that we ran into each other. But now that we have, I do have a request. I hope you can bring me to the Undying Willow race. I want to find one- no, two friends.”
Long Chen thought of Chu Yao. At the same time, he thought of Liu Ruyan. His emotions made his voice quiver slightly.
