"You've saved our Second Prince. I'll remember your kindness!"
The Thunder Snake Grand Elder smiled at Li Yaodao as they walked towards the entrance of the cave. His voice was deep and filled with gratitude.
Especially the old snake face. When he smiled, it was as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum.
"That's right. If it wasn't for Brother Li, I wouldn't have been able to see you, Grand Elder." Mo Lei followed Li Yaodao closely. His eyes were filled with admiration.
"You are exaggerating, Grand Elder. I was just passing by. It was not a big deal." Li Yaodao shook his head and smiled.
He could not stand their enthusiasm. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"No, you may not think much of it. However, this is a huge favor to the East Snake Tribe!"
The Grand Elder suddenly stopped and looked at Li Yaodao seriously. He said in a deep voice, "The East Snake Tribe is in a bad situation. The First Prince is severely injured and can no longer fight. Our Second Prince is still young, but his potential is high. If he is given enough time, he will definitely surpass the First Prince."
"Therefore, the Second Prince's status in the East Snake Tribe is no less than mine!"
Li Yaodao nodded slightly. He finally understood why Mo Lei, who was not very powerful, had such a high status in the East Snake Tribe.
"Grand Elder, can my brother really not fight anymore?"
When Mo Lei heard the words 'First Prince', tears welled up in his eyes. He looked at the First Elder worriedly. The First Elder shook his head slightly and sighed. This made Mo Lei feel even worse.
"I want to see my brother!" With that, Mo Lei sped up and disappeared from the snakes' sight in the blink of an eye.
"You don't have a tribe identity yet, do you?"
Suddenly, the Grand Elder looked at Li Yaodao and smiled. "I heard from Mo Lei that you killed Mo San and Mo Liu from the West Snake Tribe. Is that right?"
"That's right." Li Yaodao nodded. The Great Elder couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, this is great. You killed the two princes of the West Snake Tribe. They must be furious. This is great!"
"The two snakes I killed were two princes?"
Li Yaodao was very surprised. He had never heard Mo Lei mention this person's identity before. He thought about it and suddenly felt a sense of dread.
Although he had saved Mo Lei and obtained the recognition of the East Snake Tribe, he had unknowingly offended the West Snake Tribe. Moreover, it was an irreconcilable enmity …
"Little friend, don't be afraid. No matter who dies outside, as long as it isn't a life-and-death battle between members of the same tribe, the upper echelons of the Thunder Snake Clan won't interfere. However, little friend, you have just returned to the clan and are in urgent need of an identity. My East Snake Tribe will help you."
"And you don't have to worry about the West Snake Tribe finding trouble with you. With me around, they wouldn't dare!"
The Grand Elder smiled and patted Li Yaodao's head with his snake tail. His smile was as bright as a chrysanthemum.
"What a cunning old man!" Li Yaodao nodded with a smile, but he was cursing in his heart.
Originally, he wanted to smoothly obtain the Spirit Gathering Pearl of the Thunder Snake Tribe and then retreat. He never thought that this kind of trouble would appear.
Moreover, Li Yaodao knew that it was not a good thing to get into such trouble when he had just arrived at the Thunder Snake Tribe.
The West Snake Tribe and the East Snake Tribe were equal in strength. If they knew that he had killed Mo San and Mo Liu, they would definitely not let him off easily. This Grand Elder knew that he could not enter the West Snake Tribe, so he used the East Snake Tribe to take him in. This way, the debt between the two sides would be offset.
This old geezer was quite clever. The older the ginger, the spicier it is.
"Different situations call for different actions. When the time comes, there will be a way. I will get the Spirit Gathering Pearl no matter what!" Li Yaodao narrowed his eyes and followed the others without saying a word.
At that time, Li Yaodao followed the snakes through the narrow path and arrived at the scene of a green cave.
"Welcome, Grand Elder!"
Countless Thunder Snakes slithered around the circular cave space and bowed respectfully to the most prestigious Grand Elder of the East Snake Tribe.
"Little Friend Li, from today onwards, you are a member of the East Snake Tribe. This is your home." The First Elder smiled.
Li Yaodao looked at the snake nest that was bigger than the Water Curtain Cave when he had just entered. This place was not as chaotic as the Black Monster Snake Tribe. Instead, it was as neat and tidy as a human army.
The snakes kept a distance from each other. Although there were many of them, they did not make one's scalp tingle.
"Brother, you have to pull yourself together!"
Li Yaodao heard Mo Lei's voice. He rushed towards the source of the voice and came to his side. He looked at the huge snake covered in wounds on the stone altar and felt the energy waves of a Nine Star Acquired Realm expert. He sighed inwardly.
The Thunder Snake Tribe was indeed much stronger than the Black Monster Snake Tribe.
"Little Mo Lei, don't cry. Your brother is not dead yet. I will be fine after a period of rest."
The huge snake's body was covered in wounds. Little Mo Lei looked at his brother's injuries and was very sad.
"Grand Elder!"
As Mo Lei's brother and the eldest prince of the East Snake Tribe, Mo Dong wanted to stand up and bow but was stopped by the Grand Elder.
"You are badly injured. Don't move. This is Li Yaodao, your brother's savior."
The Grand Elder explained the situation. Mo Dong moved his snake head with difficulty and looked at Li Yaodao. He said in a deep voice, "I, Mo Dong, will remember Brother Li's kindness!"
Li Yaodao smiled and nodded. He did not say anything. After all, his goal was to get the Spirit Gathering Pearl. He did not care about anything else.
Bang!
Suddenly, there was a violent wave of spiritual energy at the entrance of the cave. A few Thunder Snakes flew out in pain. Li Yaodao, the Grand Elder, and the rest of the snakes turned around to look.
More than ten Thunder Snakes appeared at the entrance of the cave. The huge snake with a scar on its head flicked its tongue and spoke in a loud voice.
"Where's that new piece of trash?! I am going to take his life and avenge my brother! "
Hearing this, Li Yaodao looked at the huge snake with a scar that was similar in size to Mo Dong and squinted his eyes.
The speed at which trouble came knocking on his door was really fast!
