Gu Yang's eyes quickly scanned the plain, looking for possible dangers.

He knew that although they had escaped the pursuit of the Polyhedron, this strange land was also full of unknowns and threats. His intuition told him that safety was always temporary and they must always be vigilant.

Just as the team took a short break and prepared to move forward, Gu Yang suddenly heard a faint sound of horse hooves. His brows knitted, and he immediately reacted, signaling the team to hide, and he himself quietly sneaked in the direction of the sound.

Soon, Gu Yang saw a team of warriors wearing dark green armor and holding spears.

Their skin showed a unique bronze color, and their eyes were large and bright, flashing green light.

Their hair was long and thick, like vines, woven into various complex buns, inlaid with various flowers and emerald green leaves, which looked both wild and exquisitely beautiful.

They were tall, with clear muscle lines, revealing a power that should not be underestimated.

Their armor was engraved with exquisite patterns, as if it was interwoven with vines and leaves in the forest, which not only conformed to their reverence for nature, but also provided excellent camouflage in actual combat.

At this time, these foreigners were riding sturdy war horses and patrolling along the edge of the plain. Gu Yang immediately realized that these warriors were likely to be border guards of the Cistanche tribe.

As the warriors approached, Gu Yang also noticed that some strange plants were entangled on their spears. These plants emitted a faint light, which seemed to be a kind of magical plant unique to the Cistanche tribe, used to enhance the power of weapons.

Gu Yang knew that the Cistanche tribe was famous for its harmony with nature and its expertise in using plants to fight. Their warriors were not only well-trained in physical attacks, but also proficient in the magic of various plants, which could produce incredible effects in battle.

The team of warriors slowly crossed the plain, seemingly not noticing the presence of Gu Yang and his team. Gu Yang exhaled gently, signaling the members of the team to keep quiet and not act rashly. They could not cause unnecessary conflicts because of a momentary impulse.

Gu Yang waited for the warriors to go away, and only stood up carefully from his hiding place when he was sure that they were out of sight.

He returned to the team and whispered to everyone: "Those are warriors of the Cistanche tribe. We have now officially entered their territory. We must act carefully to avoid misunderstandings."

The members of the team nodded, and they all understood what Gu Yang meant. They were outsiders in this strange land and must respect local customs and rules.

Gu Yang took the lead again, and they continued to move along the plain, heading deep into the territory of the Cistanche tribe. Their steps were light and cautious, trying to avoid disturbing any creatures that might be lurking nearby or patrols of the Cistanche tribe.

"We'd better not let them discover our whereabouts." Gu Yang whispered to Helian Feng, "We have to bypass them and try not to attract attention."

However, just as they were about to bypass, a patrol warrior of the Cistanche tribe seemed to notice something and immediately directed the team to move closer to the direction where they were hiding. Gu Yang knew that they had no time to hide.

He immediately stood up, waved his hand to signal the team to show up, and shouted to the warriors of the Cistanche tribe: "We are from the human race. We have to cross the nobles' territory because of the pursuers. We have no ill intentions, and I hope you don't misunderstand us."

The patrol leader frowned, dismounted and walked in front of Gu Yang, looking up and down at their exhausted and disheveled team. His eyes finally fell on Gu Yang's long sword, which still had traces of fighting.

The patrol leader was silent for a moment, and then said in a common language with a faint accent: "Follow me."

There was no obvious hostility in his voice, but there was no warmth either. Gu Yang understood, and he signaled to the team with his eyes, asking them to follow the patrol leader.

They followed the pace of the Cistanche warriors, passing through patches of dense grass, and occasionally saw some strange animals and plants flashing at the edge of their vision. These creatures did not seem to be interested in them, a group of strangers, but just watched curiously.

After walking for about half an hour, a simple camp built with trees and vines appeared in front of them.

The fences around the camp were woven with thick tree trunks and vines, which looked both sturdy and integrated with the natural environment.

The patrol leader led them into the camp, and the Cistanche warriors in the camp cast curious and even wary eyes at them.

Gu Yang and his team were arranged in a corner of the camp. The patrol leader asked several warriors to guard them and then left to report their arrival.

Gu Yang knew that their current situation was a bit delicate. They were both guests and captives.

He turned to Helian Feng and said, "Master Helian, you and the other elders stay here and keep an eye on everyone. I will talk to their leaders to see if we can find a peaceful solution."

Helian Feng nodded. Although he looked tired, his eyes were still firm: "Don't worry, I will take good care of them."

Gu Yang walked towards the patrol leader. The conversation between them needed to be cautious and wise.

He knew that the Cistanche tribe had a strong sense of protection for their territory, and any misunderstanding could lead to conflict. He had to use all his wisdom and patience to gain the understanding and trust of the Cistanche tribe.

The patrol leader took Gu Yang to the center of the camp, where there was a high platform built of trees. On the high platform, an elderly-looking elder of the Cistanche Rong tribe was sitting.

The elder's eyes were deep and sharp. Standing beside him were several burly warriors, obviously his bodyguards.

The patrol captain reported the situation to the elder. After hearing this, the elder turned his eyes to Gu Yang. There was both scrutiny and exploration in his eyes.

Gu Yang took a deep breath and prepared to start this crucial conversation. He knew that their future might be in the hands of this Cangrong tribe elder.

Gu Yang stood in front of the elder of the Cistanche Rong tribe. His heartbeat accelerated, but he tried to stay calm. He knew that this was not only for the safety of himself and his team, but also for a chance to pass peacefully.

"Dear elder of the Cistanche Rong tribe, my name is Gu Yang. I come from the human race and am the leader of this team." Gu Yang's opening words were calm and respectful. His eyes met the elder's gaze firmly, "We are from the north. Unfortunately, we were chased by the Polygons. In order to survive, we had to pass through the nobles' territory. We have full respect for the nobles' land and customs and have no intention of infringing. "

The elder listened quietly. There was not much expression on his face, but his eyes shone with intelligence, and he was obviously weighing every word of Gu Yang carefully.

"We know that the Cistanche Rong people live in harmony with nature, understand the language of plants, and advocate peace." Gu Yang continued, with a trace of sincere admiration in his voice, "We do not want to cause any harm to this sacred land. Conflict. Therefore, we are willing to abide by all the rules of the nobles and only seek to pass through until we can safely leave the nobles' territory."

The elder was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke, his voice was low and powerful: "Gu Yang, I heard what you said. But the territory of the Cistanche Rong tribe is not something that anyone can cross at will. You are a human race, and we are different from the human race. There is no intersection between us, so why should we trust you?”

Gu Yang knew that this was a critical moment. He took a deep breath, then took out a small wooden box from his arms and handed it to the elder. "This is a token of a strong king in our clan, and it is also a promise from that strong king that he will take action for you once in the future. Please accept it, elder, as a symbol of our sincerity. We are willing to accept the supervision of the nobles until leave."

The elder took the wooden box and opened it. Inside was an exquisite jade pendant with a golden mosasaur totem carved on it. There was a trace of surprise in his eyes, and he was obviously a little surprised by this jade pendant.

"Are you sure you want to be supervised?" the elder asked, with a hint of testing in his voice.

"Yes, we are willing." Gu Yang replied firmly.

The elder thought for a moment, then nodded. "In this case, I can allow you to cross our territory. But there are several conditions: first, you must follow our guidance and not act without authorization; second, you must not destroy any plants and animals during the crossing; finally, any At that time, you all must accept our supervision.”

Gu Yang breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to the elder. "We accept these conditions and thank you for your tolerance."

The elder waved his hand and signaled the patrol captain to lead Gu Yang and the others to continue moving forward. "Remember, Gu Yang, the land of the Cangrong tribe is sacred, and any behavior that violates the promise will be punished by nature."

Gu Yang nodded to express his understanding. He turned around and walked towards the team, his heart full of gratitude. He knew that the elders' decision was not only a matter of trust in them, but also a desire for peace.

After all, that jade pendant was a token that Qin Wujiu personally gave to Gu Yang before going to the Polygon Clan.

Qin Wujiugui is the deputy island master who leads the battle on Mosalong Island, and he is a top expert with a reputation throughout the continent.

Even the elder of the Cistanche Rong tribe was very afraid of him.

After a while, Gu Yang saw the team again. He briefly explained the situation to the team. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time showed respect for the rules of the Cistanche Rong tribe.

Under the leadership of the patrol captain, Gu Yang and his team embarked on the journey again, and their pace became more determined, because they knew that as long as they kept their promises, they would be able to safely cross this land full of mystery and vitality.

Under the guidance of the patrol captain, Gu Yang and his team began their journey through the territory of the Cistanche Rong tribe.

They walked along a winding path, surrounded by a dense forest, with towering trees and sunlight filtering through the gaps, creating mottled light and shadow.

Their steps were light and careful so as not to crush dead leaves on the ground or disturb small creatures hiding in the grass.

The patrol leader walked at the front. He stood tall and looked back from time to time to observe Gu Yang and the others to make sure no one violated the rules.

His eyes were stern, but there was also a subtle hint of tolerance. He knew that these humans were not familiar with the Cistanche Rong tribe's way of life, so they were full of caution in their actions.

Gu Yang walked in the middle of the team, his eyes always alert to the surroundings. Although they had permission to pass, he knew that if any accident happened, it might destroy the fragile peace with the Cistanche Rong tribe.

From time to time, he used gestures or eyes to remind his teammates to pay attention to their steps to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Other members of the team were also extremely cautious. Most of them saw such strange plants and animals for the first time and were full of curiosity about this mysterious land, but they also knew that this was not the time to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

They walked through an open meadow, which was full of colorful flowers and the air was filled with a faint floral scent.

Some flowers emitted a faint light, like stars dotted on the ground at night. Gu Yang couldn't help but think of what the elders said, that the land of the Cistanche tribe was indeed sacred, and every inch of it was full of the power of life.

Just then, a strange little animal jumped out of the grass, its body covered with bright hair, and its eyes stared at the group of strangers curiously.

Someone in the team made a slight sound in surprise, and the patrol leader immediately turned around, with a warning in his eyes, indicating that everyone should not make any noise.

Gu Yang hurried forward and gently comforted the members of the team, and his eyes revealed a kind of leader's majesty. He knew that they had to stay calm, and any misbehavior could put them in trouble.

Just as the team regained its calm, the sound of gurgling water came from the front.

The patrol leader led them to a clear stream, and he indicated that everyone could take a break here and replenish water.

Gu Yang and the members of the team bent down and scooped up stream water with their hands to quench their thirst.

The water was cold and sweet, which made them feel refreshed.

After a short rest, the patrol leader signaled everyone to continue moving forward. Gu Yang stood up first, patted the dust on his clothes, and then continued to lead the team along the stream.

They passed through the dark forest path, crossed the low bushes, and finally came to an open valley before sunset.

The patrol leader told them that this place was deep into the territory of the Cistanche tribe. As long as they went forward a few miles, they could enter the city of the Cistanche tribe to rest.

Gu Yang looked at the valley in the distance, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. Although this journey was full of unknowns and dangers, it also allowed them to see the way of life of the Cistanche tribe living in harmony with nature.

He believed that this experience would become a precious memory in their hearts.

Under the gaze of the Cistanche warriors, Gu Yang led the team out of the valley, and they would be greeted by new challenges and adventures.

But at this moment, they only felt relaxed and free. Because they knew that they had respected the rules of this land, won the trust of the Cistanche tribe, and gained a glimmer of hope for themselves. (End of this chapter)
