Chapter 247: The Na Shan Tribe Grows Sweet Potato Leaves

The dawn light barely appeared, and the humid air carried whiffs of moisture.

The people of the Na Shan Tribe lived a peaceful life.

Atop the towering Treehouse, when Rongdi opened his eyes, the Ji Nü almost leapt up in a frenzy.

"Leader is awake, leader is awake"

Rongdi finally woke up; she had thought Rongdi would keep sleeping, and wondered what they would do if Rongdi kept sleeping. Hearing this, the High Priest Duo Luo behind him hurried forward, "Leader, you have awakened, we thought…"

"You thought I was dead?"

Rongdi appeared calm, let out a painful cough, his whole body was wounded, yet he cared not at all; his heart had been torn into fragments.

Indeed, when he fell into the sea he thought he was doomed, but unexpectedly… the Flying Beast rescued him and Gu Lang.

"Where is Gu Lang?"

"Leader, rest assured, he and the Flying Beast are recuperating together, the Shamaness is tending their wounds. Leader, what exactly happened, how did you end up in the sea?"

At that time she only knew that the Leader had taken people to the Huang Jin Chao, but what exactly occurred there? Rongdi, somewhat dejected, rested his head against the fence wall, "We failed"

"Failed? How could that be? The Quan Rong are giants; their tribe's people wouldn't be so easily defeated. How…"

"It's all Nan Qinghuan's doing"

Mentioning Nan Qinghuan made Rongdi's face contort with ferocity; he despised that female to the core, and now feels nothing toward her but resentment. She ignored that she was about to die and still wanted him to surrender to Ying.

Heh… a dream!

As long as he doesn't die, he will never surrender.

If given a chance, he will still contend with Ying!

He lay for a long time, then tried to get up and walk, but every part hurt.

The Ji Nü was frightened to tears, "Don't get up. You have so many wounds; Leader, just focus on healing, and I'll handle the rest with the High Priest."

Rongdi, the unkillable Xiao Qiang, angrily rebuked, "You don't understand. Go fetch Gu Lang and Xuan Feng."

Soon, Gu Lang and Xuan Feng arrived, and upon seeing him awake they were overjoyed, "Greetings, Leader. It's wonderful that you are recovering; we thought…"

"We thought he would die!"

Rongdi, however, struggled to pull himself up; as a Beastman raised in the jungle, he had endured every kind of severe wound, so this mattered little.

He glanced at the two, noticing Gu Lang also bore injuries; a flash of compassion crossed his eyes, but it was fleeting.

"You thought I was dead? I'm not that easy to kill. Gu Lang, are your wounds alright?"

Gu Lang, surprised that he asked about his injuries, felt a touch of emotion, "Leader, rest assured, I'm fine."

Thinking that Gu Lang shared his life and death, Rongdi felt gratified; none of his followers would be traitors.

"Good that you're fine. What is the situation at the Huang Jin Chao now?"

Gu Lang, anticipating his questions, had already gathered information, "Report, Leader: Ying, together with Nan Qinghuan and a group, are digging for treasure there; the Quan Rong are preparing to besiege them and seize the treasure."

These words left Rongdi puzzled; he furrowed his brows, his ferocious face becoming even more terrifying.

"Treasure, the Quan Rong really deceived me. What treasure is in that place?"

"They are some black stones, but I don't know exactly what they are."

"Black stones?"

Rongdi squinted slightly, then hobbled out; the sun shone brightly outside, and his tribe was rapidly recovering.

The tribe members were busy farming; indeed, although he envied Ying Tribe's current achievements, he could not fall behind. He instructed the Ji Nü and Duo Luo to find a way to learn Nan Qinghuan's farming skills, so his own tribe could also harvest what grows in the fields.

Live in comfortable Tulou.

Suddenly, he saw… "What is that?"

Below, verdant seedlings sprouted, and a strangely dressed man was teaching his people how to farm.

That person was not one of his people.

He pointed his hand, "Who is that person?"

Duo Luo, seeing his pointing, quickly paid her respects, "Report, Leader: this man is someone we rescued outside the tribe. His attire was odd, and we originally intended to kill him, but he claimed he could help us grow sweet potatoes, so I let him try, and unexpectedly he truly has skill."

"Which tribe does he belong to?"

"Unclear, but he seems to be from the Ape Tribe."

"Ape Tribe?"

Rongdi squinted slightly; the Ape Tribe lives beyond Jiuzhou, a wondrous place, as miraculous as a Heavenly God.

"Bring him here."

Soon, Duo Luo fetched the man; upon seeing Rongdi, the man bowed his head lower, "Greetings, Leader."

Rongdi examined the man's appearance closely; a white‑skinned male, indeed looking different from them. "What is that you're wearing?"

"What is your name? How did you learn these farming methods, and who taught you?"

His voice was soft yet carried a hint of warning.

Li Xiang had never seen such a towering Beastman; indeed, he realized it was a Beastman tribe, and that he had become lost and arrived at this Ancient Tribe.

What an unlucky turn of events.

"Report, Leader, I am merely lost and ended up here; I beg you to let me leave."

Hearing the white‑skinned male's words, Rongdi suddenly laughed, his gaze appraising him; the odd garments he wore oddly resembled what Nan Qinghuan once wore.

How ugly.

"What is your name?"

Early this morning, Nan Qinghuan and Ying were already preparing to have Xiao Guai transport the excavated stones back, while Youchao Xuan had already led his people back to the tribe overnight; they too were about to depart.

Nan Qinghuan wiped her sweat, "Ying, these stones are enough to forge weapons; let's return."

Ying nodded, then gestured to the tribe members, "You all go back first; Qinghuan and I will follow behind."

The tribe members naturally understood they wished to be alone and said no more; after everyone left with the ore, Ying whistled toward the Forest.

Immediately after, a series of roars from a Tyrannosaurus Rex came from the thicket.

"Roo…"

Hearing the sound, Nan Qinghuan widened her eyes, "You…"

When did he summon the Tyrannosaurus Rex as well? When the Tyrannosaurus Rex arrived, the whole ground trembled; despite its towering height, it respectfully came to Ying's side, then crouched, waiting for him to climb onto it.

Nan Qinghuan was quite surprised, "Ying, when did you bring it here?"

Ying wanted to be alone with her, so he had the Tyrannosaurus Rex fetch the two of them, "Qinghuan, I want to take you to a place; you'll definitely like it."

He wanted to take her to a place deep in the clouds, unknown, hidden so that no one could see them.

Nan Qinghuan didn't know what he was up to, her little face wrinkled like a bun, "Going to a place, you're not going, right? We should head back early; we still have to settle the many people of Youchao Xuan, what do you think?"

Seeing that she didn't want to go, a hint of loss flashed in Ying's bright eyes, yet he still asked softly, "Really not going?"
