Trailing the native guide, Lin Dong and War God Hei Long ventured deeper into the Five Elements Land.
During their trek, Lin Dong spotted thicker vegetation all around. A strange aroma saturated the air, suggesting that mystical energies infused even the breeze itself.
With every advancing step, a hidden tribe nestled within the thick jungle slowly unveiled before their eyes. The dwellings, fashioned from sturdy trees, looked rustic yet brimmed with primal allure.
Clad in vibrant garments, the tribe's people showed shock and intrigue upon seeing Lin Dong and War God Hei Long. They swarmed closer, staring with a blend of awe and welcoming warmth.
While the locals scrutinized Lin Dong, he and his companion sized them up in return.
Lin Dong's eyes fixed on these native folk, a wave of astonishment washing over him.
These natives possessed a striking otherworldliness. The men rose like the forest's proudest pines, sporting sharp elven ears, their visages carved to flawless beauty by nature's hand.
The women were gorgeously captivating. Their smiles evoked spring's gentlest rays, eyes twinkling like celestial stars. Every motion dripped with poise and refinement, as if genuine elves had graced the mortal plane.
Off to the side, War God Hei Long's intense gaze betrayed a spark of fascination.
Catching War God Hei Long's intrigue, Lin Dong offered a subtle grin. He understood his ally was equally drawn to this realm's singular inhabitants.
In the midst of their close inspection, Lin Dong's focus shifted to a strikingly verdant patch inside the tribe.
A cluster of Millennium Encounter Spring Trees flourished there, branches overflowing with vibrant greenery. Each leaf pulsed with relentless life force, releasing a soft, invigorating scent that soothed the soul.
"There’s actually a grove of Millennium Encounter Spring Trees! At least several hundred trees!"
Even more astounding, not far from those spring trees concealed a rare Medicine King herb, boasting thick roots and leaves that glowed subtly—no mere weed by any stretch.
"There’s actually a Medicine King!"
"This tribe is truly extraordinary," Lin Dong murmured inwardly, his gaze flashing with deep musings.
He sensed the tribe's profound secrecy, veiled by a subtle aura. Even nearby intruders couldn't perceive its location.
Without unique guidance or stroke of sheer fortune, outsiders faced near-impossible odds of finding it.
It resembled a pristine sanctuary shielded from external chaos!
Evidently, this tribe concealed vast mysteries beyond its stunning surface.
Just then, the native youth rescued by Lin Dong hurried over, gesturing with thrilled energy and an expectant expression.
By studying the gestures intently, Lin Dong pieced together the youth's desire—he wanted Lin Dong and War God Hei Long to linger and join the tribe's wedding revelry that evening.
Tonight marked his sister's blessed union. Per ancient tribal rites, a spectacular bonfire gathering would ignite on the wedding night.
That day, the youth had set out to hunt a massive beast for the feast's centerpiece, emblematic of the newlyweds' bountiful and enduring bliss.
Lin Dong inquired further, and the youth beamed with pride, conveying that a larger catch from their tribe heralded greater omens and richer fortunes.
This tale stirred a gentle warmth in Lin Dong's chest; such rituals rang with unadulterated sincerity.
He glanced at War God Hei Long, who appeared moved by the heartfelt purity, and gave a light nod of agreement to remain.
"I saw that earlier; it seems you didn’t manage to catch any prey. We can help you catch it," Lin Dong considered briefly before signaling.
Hearing this, the native youth beamed with joy, gesturing eagerly, "I will go with you."
Lin Dong and War God Hei Long agreed with nods, aware it might cost them time and pause their demon beast pursuit.
Still, as laid-back souls, they deemed a short delay trivial.
Having reached their cultivation heights, nurturing a free and expansive mindset held far greater value.
Soon after, Lin Dong, War God Hei Long, and the native youth departed the tribe anew.
Once back in the jungle, Lin Dong's razor-sharp senses swiftly picked up nearby beasts.
"Over there, there’s a very large wild ox," Lin Dong directed War God Hei Long and the native youth toward the beast.
The beast loomed massively, tipping over a thousand pounds—an ideal highlight for the bonfire banquet.
The native young man gestured, indicating that slaying this wild ox was no easy task.
A faint smile appeared on Lin Dong's face as he signaled to War God Hei Long.
War God Hei Long got the message and sprang into action without delay.
"Phew~~~"
In a flash, War God Hei Long arrived beside the wild ox, driving a military sword straight into its vital spot.
Death claimed it in an instant.
The natives stared in shock as the thousand-pound beast fell to War God Hei Long's blade, like beholding a divine wonder.
He thumbed up to both War God Hei Long and Lin Dong enthusiastically!
"Haha..." Lin Dong and War God Hei Long burst into booming laughter.
Soon, War God Hei Long hoisted the wild ox over his shoulder and trailed the native youth and Lin Dong back to their village.
Once they reached the tribe.
There they encountered the native youth's sister, the very bride for today's wedding.
One had to admit, her beauty was stunning!
Every member of this tribe, man or woman, possessed striking looks!
Learning these heroes had rescued her brother and supplied the wild ox for the wedding's bonfire feast, the bride and groom overflowed with deep gratitude to Lin Dong and War God Hei Long.
They extended a heartfelt welcome.
Lin Dong pitched in with tasks, blending seamlessly into tribal life.
Time flew by, and night descended!
This marked the pinnacle of the tribe's wedding celebration.
During that spectacular bonfire wedding feast, the night sky loomed black as ink, stars twinkled above, and the raging flames bathed the ground in a vivid red glow.
The massive wild ox, thousands of pounds heavy and captured by Lin Dong and War God Hei Long, now dangled proudly on a custom grill. Golden fat dripped onto the fire, sizzling and releasing mouthwatering scents that enveloped the whole gathering.
Clad in plain but spotless attire, Lin Dong beamed brightly. Today, he and War God Hei Long grinned nonstop.
The vibrant joy of the occasion fully swept them up.
With his culinary expertise, Lin Dong took charge of the grilling.
He darted amid the tribesfolk and the fire, gripping a long barbecue fork, turning over the giant beef slabs now and then for perfect cooking on all sides.
His actions flowed with expert grace and rhythm, resembling a wordless performance.
"Huh, time for a special touch!" An idea hit Lin Dong, prompting him to pull out spice jars from the Dragon Ring on his finger.
He had crafted these seasonings himself, from five-spice and chili powders to rare herbal blends, all brimming with his passion for flavor.
With precision, he dusted the spices on, each addition amplifying the beef's fragrance intensely, captivating the onlookers with wonder and anticipation.
"Wow, what sorcery is this? The smell is divine!" A warrior from the tribe, decked in ornate garb and feathers, blurted out in awe. His gaze locked on Lin Dong's grill, drool already forming.
"Guests, your roast smells amazing!" An elder-like figure from the tribe complimented in his broken speech, waving his hands expressively.
Even before his words ended, cheers of approval rang out, heads nodding everywhere as they savored this extraordinary feast.
"Come, try our tribe's special brew!" The bride lifted a clay jug filled with their signature wine, crisp yet sweetly tinged.
Lin Dong and War God Hei Long took the offer, toasting vigorously with the earnest tribespeople while showering the couple with heartfelt wishes.
"May you fly together!"
Language differences aside, the joy bridged all gaps effortlessly.
Enveloped in this unadulterated bliss, Lin Dong and War God Hei Long lost track of the War God Competition.
They downed plenty of wine that evening.
War God Hei Long, swept up in the intoxication, bellowed:
"Life has only a few autumns, let’s not rest until we’re drunk..."
"Singing with wine, I only wish for happiness until old age..."
"Ah, ah, ah... Singing with wine, how much life has... not drunk, not returning..."
Having gone so long without such carefree moments, he too appeared tipsy, belting out the merry tunes off-key.
Lin Dong, meanwhile, clutched his cup, his mind freer and more at ease than ever.
That stubborn mental block holding him back started to crack right then...
