Chapter 250: Please, Chief, Help Me Find My Junior Sister

Duo Luo didn't know what a bag was, so to her it was just a thing.

Li Xiang wanted to move farther away from her. Were all these ancient women this forward? "Yes."

Soon, the bag was handed to him. Li Xiang immediately went to take it, then crouched down and opened the zipper. Seeing that all his survival tools were inside, he was very happy. His phone was dead, and the power bank was gone too, but these things were useless here anyway.

But... how was he supposed to deal with these savages? He had a small knife in his hand, but in his estimation, he was no match for these savages. They were brutish and unreasonable, huge in build and Beastmen to boot; he'd probably be killed before he could even make a move.

Sure enough, Rongdi's voice soon came from behind.

"Found it?"

He immediately hid the defensive dagger in his hand inside the bag.

He also dared not move recklessly. He packed up his things, slung the bag over his back, and grinned at Rongdi. "Chief, I found it."

Rongdi had actually seen through his intentions but remained expressionless. "Li Xiang, where do you come from and where are you going?"

"I..."

Where was he going? He had originally wanted to find his junior sister, but looking at the situation now, they were probably in grave danger too. He had been here for a few days and had already figured out the lay of the land.

The people here were all savages and Beastmen. From the things they knew, he roughly guessed this was the late Ancient era, but these savages were still very primitive and brutal, so he was very careful every day he stayed.

Only by keeping his life could he try to leave, to see if he could find a way out. Of course, if he had the chance, he still wanted to inquire about his junior sister.

Maybe she wasn't dead!

Back when Duo Luo was about to kill him, he saw them farming. They were doing a terrible job—too many corn seeds, the mud packed too tightly. It would be a miracle if anything grew like that.

So, to protect his own skin, he proactively offered to help them farm, which was how he caught this female savage's attention and escaped death.

But he knew he couldn't escape now.

Seeing his frightened look, Rongdi grinned. "Don't be afraid. Anyone who comes to my place is a guest. As long as you wholeheartedly help us, I won't treat you badly. How about I show you a performance?"

"A performance?"

Did these savages have entertainment? What Li Xiang didn't expect was that this so-called performance was actually... watching a wild beast eat a person right before his eyes.

On that tall Treehouse, he stood there with Rongdi, looking down. Below, a group of wild beasts surrounded a straggling savage. He wore leaves covering his vital parts, terrified, and kept tilting his head back and wailing.

Li Xiang was a bit scared but could only pretend to be calm. "Chief, this is..."

"This is a captive who tried to escape from me. I'm letting him feed my pets. One person isn't enough to eat."

As soon as Rongdi said this, Li Xiang sucked in a breath of cold air.

Eating people? Soon, Rongdi made a clicking sound with his tongue, and the beasts waiting for orders instantly attacked the straggling savage.

"Ah—"

The man was knocked to the ground by the beasts. The starving beasts quickly bit the man to death.

They tore him apart in groups of three or five and ate him.

Even from this height, he could smell the thick stench of blood and the terrifying sounds of the beasts eating. As a modern man, even though Li Xiang was a man, cold sweat broke out on his forehead from fear.

Too terrifying. What kind of tribe was this?

Rongdi was very satisfied with his reaction. Yes, he liked seeing that expression on his face—terror and fear.

Only through fear would he submit to him and not oppose him like Nan Qinghuan!

Thinking of Nan Qinghuan, he clenched his fists until they cracked and said through gritted teeth, "This is the price of escape. Li Xiang, you stay here well and help me realize my dream of unifying the Tribe. I will treat you well. Everything in my clan, you can enjoy with me, including the females."

Li Xiang's breathing was rapid, his nostrils filled with the thick, cloying smell of blood.

He knew this Beastman had seen through his thoughts. It seemed escaping from here wouldn't be easy.

He had to think of another way!

He took a deep breath, wiped his sweat, and said, "Chief, rest assured. As long as there's a place you need me, I'm willing. But I also want to ask the Chief for a favor."

Rongdi didn't like people bargaining. This man was as ungrateful as Nan Qinghuan.

"You've already gotten your things. What other favor do you want?"

Li Xiang thought it over and still decided to ask. "I came here because I got lost looking for my junior sister. I'm worried they might have wandered into another tribe and been eaten. Please, Chief, help me check if any nearby tribes have captured people like me."

"People like you?"

Rongdi narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment. "Fine. As long as you help me strengthen the tribe, I'll help you find them. What's the name of this person you're talking about?"

Li Xiang was very happy that this Beastman was willing to help him. "Nan Qinghuan."

What? Boom!

Hearing the name Nan Qinghuan, Rongdi's expression turned very strange. He narrowed his eyes at Li Xiang before him. Could it be they knew each other and came together? Duo Luo had said many times that Nan Qinghuan was not the Goddess, but he had always believed she was, because everything she had done had never been done by anyone before. If she wasn't the Goddess, then who could have accomplished those things? But now, he began to doubt her identity.

"Nan Qinghuan?"

Li Xiang nodded. Thinking that his junior sister might have also gotten lost in this godforsaken place, he was very worried inside, but he was alone and helpless and dared not act rashly.

He could only place his hopes on these Ancient People.

Hoping they could help find her.

"Yes. Please, Chief, help me find her."

Rongdi clenched his fists. "Don't worry. I'll help you find her. Go get some rest first."

Li Xiang hadn't expected this Beastman to be so easy to talk to, so he felt relieved. Well, since he couldn't escape, he might as well stay for now and see if a miracle happened.

After Li Xiang left, Duo Luo, who was behind him, couldn't hold back anymore. "Chief, so Li Xiang knows all those things. He's in cahoots with Nan Qinghuan."

Unbelievable.

Rongdi glanced at Duo Luo and had an idea. "Pass the order: no one in the tribe is allowed to mention Nan Qinghuan's name. This man must not find out that Nan Qinghuan is in the Ying Tribe. If he finds out, he'll definitely try to escape to the Ying Tribe. Ying already has Nan Qinghuan; he can't have Li Xiang too."

Yes, he couldn't let Li Xiang leave now.

Duo Luo naturally didn't want to let Li Xiang go either. She had already set her sights on him; she wanted him to be her male.

"Chief, rest assured. He'll never know. In a few days, I'll make him give up searching. I'll make him stay here and help us."

Duo Luo had never seen such a capable man. She had planted for so long and couldn't grow sweet potato sprouts or corn, but this man had done it effortlessly. So... she liked him and wouldn't let him leave the tribe.

After Duo Luo left, Rongdi narrowed his eyes. His gaze looked into the distant horizon. Beyond the towering mountains and ridges, he seemed to see the tall Tulou peak of the Ying Tribe.

They clenched their fist, recalling that time when Nan Qinghuan was so ruthless to them; they ground their teeth, almost gritting and shouting her name.

"Nan Qinghuan"
