"Why did the leader choose to bow his head? We obviously still have many warriors who can fight!"

"That long-tailed horse with scales is so terrifying, it seems like there are not enough people it can kill..."

"We have compensated so much supplies and horses this time, can we still remain neutral in the future? What if the Zuoqiu clan attacks again..."

…

The people of the Nalan tribe were cleaning up the battlefield and repairing the stone walls and huge gates, while communicating in worried low voices.

After hundreds of years of being idle, this is the first time they have been so exaggeratedly shortchanged!

The loss of ore, iron tools, and horses had a devastating impact.

Not to mention whether the Huyan family will take the opportunity to add insult to injury.

Just talking about Zuoqiu's fierce dragon-horse monster is enough to dismiss Nalan's proud defense as nothing!

Fortunately, generations of Nalan leaders have been extremely intelligent people.

Even if the tribesmen cannot understand the huge compensation for the moment, they still believe that the leader will come up with a good solution sooner or later!

…

At the same time, inside the stone building.

The leader Nalan Xiao, who had high hopes for the whole clan, now no longer looked like he had the wisdom in the past.

She knelt on her knees like the most humble slave.

She even dared not raise her eyes to look at the man sitting on her leader's throne.

"You seem to know my identity?"

Wang Hui held his chin in one hand and looked at Nalan Xiao with interest.

He was almost certain that the crystal pendant this woman was wearing was the crystal of source matter!

According to the rules of the miniature world, only by possessing inherited sacred objects can one perfectly absorb the essence.

Judging from Nalan Xiao's extraordinary wisdom and abnormal whitening of hair on his temples, this should be an "imperfect intake".

At the cost of lifespan, absorb the essence to strengthen your thinking ability!

"I don't know your specific identity, but... there are some guesses."

Nalan Xiao paused, raised his hand to hold the pendant around his neck, and said with a complex expression:

"When I get closer, I can feel that the power of the sky crystal is particularly active.

It seems like it wants to get rid of me and fall into your arms...

According to the records left by our ancestors, Sky Crystal is a secret treasure originating from the sky, but now..."

Having said this, Nalan Xiao mustered up the courage to raise his eyes and asked, "Are you a god?"

"Sky Crystal, the name you gave it is quite appropriate."

Wang Hui did not answer Nalan Xiao's question directly, but said with a half-smile:

"The Nalan clan, short of horses and food, has been able to survive between the other two clans for hundreds of years. It seems that it relies on not only the ore and iron craftsmanship, but also the wisdom given by the sky crystal...

You used a large amount of compensation to show your goodwill to Zuo Qiuyue, because you concluded that they would end the war?"

Nalan Xiao did not receive a positive answer, but still responded humbly:

"The Sky Crystal gave me a stronger mind, but it will greatly shorten my lifespan.

Healthy Nalan people can generally live close to fifty years, while the leader who inherits the sky crystal in each generation can only live about thirty-five years.

If there hadn't been the strange phenomenon in the sky five days ago, and if there hadn't been the attack of the mythical beast dragon and horse today, I would not have bowed to Zuoqiu.

Before death approached, I should have continued to balance the power of the Huyan and Zuoqiu clans to keep the Nalan clan in the center.

The next generation of leaders will inherit my will, and the cycle will continue..."

Hearing this, Wang Hui nodded slightly.

The so-called "phenomenon in the sky" must refer to his previous behavior of absorbing the essence above the clouds.

Nalan Xiao was wearing the source material crystal, so it was reasonable for him to be able to detect that scene.

Perhaps the old man in Huyan's family who seems to be able to see Wang Hui has the same reason?

Seeing Wang Hui deep in thought and silent, Nalan Xiao prostrated himself on the ground:

"God above, since the Zuoqiu clan has your protection, there is no reason why our clan should not surrender.

The reason why I did not declare surrender directly was because I wanted to test Zuoqiu...

If this behavior makes you unhappy, please punish me!"

As Nalan Xiao knelt down, her long hair fell down to both sides of her face, revealing her fair and defenseless back neck.

This attitude of accepting punishment is hard to make people feel bad.

Wang Hui couldn't help but secretly sigh that the survival wisdom of preserving the ethnic group was deeply rooted in the minds of every generation of Nalan leaders.

Otherwise, why would the seemingly powerful Huyan and Zuoqiu tribes have been unable to do anything against the Nalan clan?

"What if I say, I want your sky crystal?"

Upon hearing this, Nalan Xiao took off the pendant without hesitation and held it up with both hands.

"The sky crystal originally fell from the sky, and now it is back in the hands of the gods. It makes sense!"

There was no hesitation in the movements, and Wang Hui was even more satisfied.

Who would reject a perfectly obedient believer?

Although Nalan Xiao may not be 100% in reverence for God at this time, at least his determination is impeccable.

Wang Hui held the pendant and observed.

This sky crystal is in the shape of a polygonal prism, which looks a bit like a natural crystal at first glance.

However, there are strands of light flowing inside, which makes it look more fantasy-like.

Snap!

Wang Hui clasped his five fingers together, and the sky crystal shattered with a crisp sound, turning into pure essence and integrating into his body!

Carrying the inherited sacred object [Yin Yang Fish], the source crystals can be absorbed very smoothly without any side effects.

Listening to the crisp sound, Nalan Xiao swayed and his face became depressed.

She felt that the connection that she had been entangled with for many years was completely severed!

At this moment, Wang Hui's plain voice came again.

"So, when are you going to hand over the rest of the sky crystals to me?"

…

The huge stone wall door on the outside and the three-story stone building on the inside are great buildings that make all Nalan people proud.

But only the leaders of each generation know that there is a secret room below the stone building.

This is the key to allowing the Nalan clan to continue to this day!

"Oh, I can collect so much..."

Standing in the dark secret room, Wang Hui looked around.

On the stone shelves on the four walls, there are hundreds of sky crystal stones of various sizes!

Although source matter is an extraordinary energy, it must also follow the conservation of energy.

How could a single sky crystal pendant be consumed by so many Dai Nalan leaders?

So Wang Hui concluded that Nalan Xiao still had inventory, but he didn't expect such a quantity...

As if sensing the aura of the inherited sacred object [Yin Yang Fish], all the sky crystals lit up with a striking luster, even lighting up the entire secret room!

This scene made Nalan Xiao more convinced of Wang Hui's identity as a "god", and he felt a little more relaxed than before.

The Sky Crystal Stone is the treasure at the bottom of Nalan's box. Taking it all out at once is undoubtedly a big gamble!

If the other party is just a liar harboring evil intentions, Nalan Xiao will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame of exterminating his race.

But if the identity of the god is real, it is a completely different matter.

With unreserved surrender, perhaps the Nalan clan will have a greater weight in the heart of the gods.

Obtain a higher status than Zuoqiu!

"My God, after our ancestors discovered the magical power of the first piece of sky crystal, they began to search secretly.

After hundreds of years and the efforts of dozens of generations of leaders, we have finally accumulated some quantity, and I hope the gods will be satisfied."

Nalan Xiao, who had lost his pendant, was now in a haggard state, but his words and deeds were more humble, hoping to leave a better impression on the other party.

Wang Hui nodded and walked slowly along the stone shelf.
Chapter completed!
