Chapter 178 - Forest Houses
Faced with Ling Xiao's reprimand, he could only silently listen because at that time, this matter was not his decision. Furthermore, after Ling Xiao had finished speaking, he realized that the location of the Tribes was extremely exposed, and anyone who passed by would be able to see it.
"Let's go, let's first go to your Tribes to take a look, we'll talk after that." Ling Xiao said as he looked into the distance.
His original plan was to bring Yan Ah Gu back to the Tribes, and then leave. This was his promise to Yan Ah Gu, but because of his previous actions, it was equivalent to declaring war on his enemy. Hence, Ling Xiao had no choice but to stay and settle the matter that was about to happen.
Looking at that black dot from afar still had some distance, but in reality, Ling Xiao had already arrived at Female Genuine in a very short amount of time.
After walking in, Ling Xiao realized why it was dark. It was because most of the houses here had already been burnt, and a portion of them had already turned into ruins. As for the few remaining houses, they had also turned pitch black.
"What's going on?" Ling Xiao frowned and asked.
Seeing this, Yan Ao Gu's heart ached as he said, "This is the evil deeds that those people have done. After expelling all of our clansmen, they began plundering our property and even set fire to our houses. If it wasn't for the fact that most of our houses were built out of dirt and rocks, it would have definitely become a sea of fire."
After hearing this, Ling Xiao wandered around the Tribes for a while longer and discovered that the situation here was exactly as he had expected.
"Since everyone has left, they probably won't dare to come back." Ling Xiao said.
Wuyan Aobo sighed and said, "In the past, we would at least have a few more people running back. They've obviously gone too far this time. My clansmen don't dare to come back."
"More than half of the houses here have been burnt down. Even if I come back, I would have no place to stay." Ling Xiao said.
Zhan Yan Ah Gu looked at the Tribes who had changed beyond recognition quietly, and tears started streaming down his face uncontrollably.
Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao couldn't help but shake his head and say: "That's why I decided to help you solve this problem. Otherwise, so what if I brought you back?
On the way there, Ling Xiao saw a lot of corpses and they were all dressed in the same attire as Yan Ao Gu. Needless to say, those should be the people of Female Genuine.
"Looks like what the Sect Master Ling said was true. We really must abandon this place, otherwise, we won't be able to continue living together." He had finally thought it through.
"Yes, on the way here, I observed the surrounding area and found out that there is a relatively high slope on the east side of eugenol. There should be a large pit behind it that provides a place to rest on, and in that direction is the Central Plains. Ling Xiao said.
Hearing that, Yan Ao Gu frowned and said: "Sect Master Ling, you said that ordinary people would not choose that place as their resting place, so how could we dare?"
"Haha, if you do something that others do not dare to do, then you will win. Do you really need me to explain it any further?" Ling Xiao laughed.
"Alright, I believe that the Sect Master Ling will not lie to me, but I want to find my clan members." Wuyan Aobo raised his head and said.
After Ling Xiao heard this, he nodded and said, "Mn, this is only natural, let's see if we can gather some of the clansmen first, then we can discuss further. It's just that there isn't a single person here, do you know where they went?"
Zhan Yanyu frowned. He had been running for five to six days just to keep himself alive, but in this period of time, who knew where all of his tribesmen had gone to?
Suddenly, Yan Ao Gu seemed to have thought of something, and said joyfully: "Previously, my Chief said that if you have nowhere to go, you can hide in eugenol."
"What do you mean?"
"Because we often go to the eugenol to hunt, we have set up many resting places there. Sometimes, if it's too late, we might as well spend the night there and leave the next day, so the living conditions there are definitely not a problem. I am thinking that a portion of my people should have gone there." Zhan Yan Ah Gu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao nodded his head and said: "The eugenol is so big, we can establish a few hidden bases, it is indeed a good place to hide. Then, you will lead the way, we need to hurry over."
"Alright!" Wuyan Aobo excitedly ran out of Tribes.
After fighting with Yan Ao, they quickly reached the eugenol. If they were to use their naked eyes to observe, they wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with the eugenol, and in the end, it was Ling Xiao who found out with his sharp eyes, that there were some areas in the forest where the shrubs were excessively dense, probably to be used as cover.
As expected, these were all the footholds the Female Genuine had set up here.
Firstly, it was to hide from the eyes and ears, and secondly, it was to hide from the eyes of the animals. Secondly, it was to hide from the eyes and ears, and secondly, it was to hide from the eyes and ears of the animals.
However, after looking for three footholds in a row, he didn't see a single person. This caused Yan Yajie to feel somewhat anxious.
"Don't worry, how many strongholds are there in the eugenol?" Seeing that, Ling Xiao hurriedly comforted his.
Without even thinking about it, she blurted out, "There should be around 30 of them, and whether they have been newly built or destroyed, I do not know. In the past, there were about 150 of my clansmen, but none of these 30 strongholds are enough."
After hearing that, Ling Xiao laughed and said: "Then you've only searched for two or three times, and you've already started to panic. You should know that these few strongholds are located in the outer regions of eugenol, and are not a very safe place to begin with, so it's understandable that your clansmen did not choose this place."
Maybe Ling Xiao's words had some effect on his, allowing his to feel more at ease, allowing his to quickly calm down, he then brought Ling Xiao and the others to continue forward, to search for a different stronghold.
Finally, they had their first harvest.
"Pfft!" With a sound, an arrow flew past Ling Xiao's body and stabbed into the ground steadily. Judging from its depth, one could imagine how powerful this arrow was.
This arrow came from a bush in front of them. Although the opponent had made the first move, they were still two to three meters away from hitting the target. This was clearly a warning and not a mistake.
After all, Tribes relied on hunting to eat, and was very good at archery.
