CHAPTER 1351: CHAPTER 594: XIE LI KHAN! RESCUE ASHI LUO!

The Xie Li Tribe of the Centaurs lies between the labyrinthine mountains, with paths crisscrossing like a maze.

It’s said that almost anyone who isn’t from the tribe would get lost upon entering.

Lanling guided the Griffin Beast to a gentle landing.

No sooner had he touched the ground than dozens of shadows leaped out like lightning, surrounding him.

Half aimed their bows at him, the other half aimed their spears.

Lanling was finally seeing centaurs for the first time.

No wonder they are hailed as the overlords of land cavalry; they stood over three meters tall and six to seven meters long.

Their muscles were like they were forged from steel, with arms as thick as Lanling’s thighs, and their four legs were robust and powerful.

Lanling estimated that each centaur weighed over ten thousand pounds.

Moreover, every centaur soldier here was clad in armor. Despite their immense strength, they donned armor, whereas the Rakshasa soldiers did not.

An ordinary family sedan weighs, for example, three thousand pounds, yet each centaur weighs more than three cars.

Furthermore, their hooves appeared to be forged from steel, capable of trampling anything into paste.

The centaurs’ faces were also quite different from humans’.

For instance, their noses were large, eyes deep-set, lips extremely thin, and their ears were pointed like a horse’s. Even their hair resembled a horse’s mane.

"You lowly Near-Human, you’ve intruded into Xie Li Khan’s territory; we must execute you," said the leading centaur samurai, drawing a massive sword.

Lanling replied, "Brave centaur warriors, I harbor no malice. In fact, I’ve been led here by a dream. Please, take me to see your Xie Li Khan."

The centaur samurai leader said, "Our great Khan is not someone your lowly Near-Human self can meet; the only thing you can embrace is death!"

Saying this, the centaur leader swung down his massive sword.

Lanling unleashed a powerful spiritual power!

Spirit Solidifying Skill!

Instantly, the centaur samurai’s body was locked in place, his massive sword held aloft but unable to descend.

"This is an evil sorcerer, burn him!" The centaur samurai began to rage.

Lanling projected his voice through spiritual power: "Calm down. I’ve come for your Khan’s son. I’ve heard he is missing! Take me to your Khan; I know the whereabouts of the Khan’s son!"

The voice imbued with spiritual power was full of authority, and immediately all the centaur warriors fell silent.

Everyone was shocked by his words!

Indeed, their Khan’s son, Xie Li the Second, was missing. He wasn’t just his most beloved son but also the successor of the entire tribe.

The son’s disappearance dealt a huge blow to Xie Li Khan.

(In the Barbaric Wilderness, as long as a chieftain isn’t usurped, their name remains the same. For instance, in the Chimera Tribe, the chieftain is called Constantine, and his son Constantine II. When Constantine dies, his son becomes the new chieftain and automatically takes the name Constantine, with his son becoming Constantine II. Hearing ’the Second’ indicates the tribe’s successor. Not every tribe follows this naming convention.)

Without a son, without a successor, Xie Li Khan would lose everything, even his name.

Because the next Khan’s name automatically becomes Xie Li.

In his quest to find his missing son, Xie Li Khan dispatched countless centaur warriors but found nothing. He even spent astronomical sums on intelligence in Rakshasa City but to no avail.

Upon hearing Lanling claim to know the Little Khan’s whereabouts, the eyes of the surrounding centaur warriors turned skeptical.

Because Xie Li Khan had offered an astronomical reward; anyone who told him the whereabouts of his son, Xie Li the Second, would receive a reward of two hundred thousand Gold Coins, once verified!

Lanling released the centaur samurai leader from his hold.

"Lowly Near-Human, I must tell you, over dozens have come to claim the Khan’s reward, only to end up with their heads hanging from trees," said the centaur samurai leader. "No lie can deceive the great Khan’s sharp eyes."

It seems many were willing to risk their lives for money, attempting to deceive for the reward.

Lanling smiled and said, "If I am a fraudster, then let my head hang on a tree as well."

The centaur samurai leader stared at Lanling for a while, then blindfolded him with a black cloth before signaling with a whistle.

A three-meter tall horse sprang forth, a failed mutation of a centaur.

A female centaur can give birth to four or five children in her lifetime, but half of them are centaurs, while the others are ordinary horses.

Thus, countless centaurs pray to the Moon Demon, hoping to be reborn as centaurs rather than mere horses in their next life.

Be that as it may, the warhorses of the Centaur Tribe were still superior in size and magnificence.

The centaur warriors tossed Lanling onto the horse’s back, and the group began their journey into the depths of the Xie Li Tribe along the maze-like path.

For outsiders, the route of the Centaur Tribe was top secret. Therefore, they blindfolded Lanling with a black cloth. But without a doubt, it was all in vain, as Lanling didn’t need his eyes. He could sense everything with his spiritual power.
