Qing Yan sighed deeply and asked, “Have you found any others?”

Shu Feng shook his head, blinking his brown eyes as he softly said, “You’re the first one.”

Qing Yan had guessed this would be the answer. He stood up, brushing the dirt off his body, and his deep voice sounded, “Come with me. There are some more of our Tribesmen waiting for me not far from here.”

Shu Feng’s face lit up with joy, his refined demeanour completely gone as he asked repeatedly, “Really? Is that true? There are more of us nearby?”

“Yes, a few. They escaped from the Tribe with me.” Qing Yan said, his face also filled with sadness as he continued, “But there aren’t many left now…”

“How many people are left?” Shu Feng asked excitedly. As long as they were still a;ove, it was good news. It was better than returning empty-handed.

“Including me, twenty-three people. Originally, there were over a hundred…” Qing Yan’ eyes were full of sorrow.

Shu Feng put his hand on the other’s shoulder to comfort him and asked, “What happened?”

“We encountered Mix Blood Ferocious Beasts, two Golden Eyed Red Pythons…” Qing Yan’ face showed even more sadness.

He recalled the scenes that had occurred then, and even now, it made his skin crawl. It was too terrifying.

The two Golden Eyed Red Pythons had fiercely swept in. In an instant, they had snatched away more than a dozen of their Tribesmen. Before Qing Yan could even react, they launched another attack, once again darting towards the ordinary people of the Tribe with their forked tongues.

If it were not for two other Totem Warriors who had resisted with all their might, buying time for Qing Yan and the others, all of those hundred-plus people would have become food in the two Golden Eyed Red Pythons’ bellies.

“How could this be? Encountering two Golden Eyed Red Pythons at once!?” Shu Feng’s forehead began to sweat involuntarily just imagining it.

He composed himself after a while and asked, “Among the twenty-three people, are there any Totem Warriors besides you?”

Right now, what the Tribe lacked most were Totem Warriors. If there were any Totem Warriors left, that would be the best outcome.

Nearby, Cheng Shi and Ai’er listened intently. Children loved to hear such stories the most. Stories that were exciting, tense, and both inspiring and frightening.

“There’s one left.” Qing Yan sighed, his face full of self-loathing.

“Who is it?” Shu Feng asked curiously.

“Yue,” Qing Yan said in a deep voice.

Shu Feng turned his head abruptly, as if he had misheard, and asked, “Yue?”

“Yes, Yue. From escaping the Tribe until now, it’s been Yue and I finding food for the remaining people.” Qing Yan said slowly and clearly.

Shu Feng blinked his brown eyes and asked, “Yue’s Sister didn’t come with you?”

“No. At the time, we were only focused on leading our people to escape. We might have gotten separated along the way.” Qing Yan helplessly explained.

“By the way, how did you end up here?” Shu Feng frowned and continued, “With your strength, you shouldn’t have been unaware of the danger.”

“I haven’t eaten my fill of meat for days. I was just focused on quickly hunting and returning.” Qing Yan unconsciously touched the wound from earlier and continued, “I did sense the danger, but before I could dodge, I was hit.”

Cheng Shi awkwardly scratched the back of his head and said, “The longbow fires arrows very quickly, so Uncle Qing Yan did not notice in time.”

“Just you wait. When we get back to the Tribe, I’ll teach you a lesson.” Qing Yan joked.

“Please don’t, Uncle Qing Yan! I didn’t mean to. When we get back to the Tribe, I’ll give you all the meat the Shaman has rewarded me with.” Cheng Shi was a bit scared.

Back in the Ancestral Land, the training had been terrifying. It was no different from training in Hell.

“Hahaha…” Qing Yan heartily laughed.

Seeing the other person laugh, Shu Feng felt relieved. Earlier, he had been in low spirits.

He paused for a moment and asked, “What about the Warrior Trainees? Are there any Warrior Trainees left?”

“There are four left, so not all the pressure is on us two. We can take turns standing guard at night. Otherwise, if it was Yue and I alone, we would have been exhausted to death.” Qing Yan said with gratitude.

Shu Feng felt the same and said, “The Tribe is in great need of people now. The more people we can find, the better.”

“We were also looking for you, but we searched for several days without any news.” Qing Yan opened the Animal Hide Bag and took a few sips of water, then continued, “Because we had to hunt and also worry about the safety of the remaining people, we couldn’t really put too much effort into searching for you. Still, we have not given up. We still try to search when we can.”

“I thought you might have news of the other Tribe members.” Shu Feng’s hope was dashed.

“I found many places with traces of campfires, but discovered nothing around them. They are moving very quickly…” Qing Yan said regretfully.

“Me too. These days, I’ve been searching with these two children, but we found nothing…” Shu Feng spread his hands.

Qing Yan handed back the Animal Hide Bag and said, “By the way, I haven’t asked yet. Where is our Tribe right now?”

“It’s about a day’s walk from here. If we fly, it won’t take that long.” Shu Feng said.

“A day’s distance?” Qing Yan looked up at the sky and continued, “After we get back, I have to have them set out when it’s still early. Only then can we make it before nightfall.”

He was eager to return to the Tribe. Having been away for so long, he really missed the people of the Tribe.

“That’s good. Let’s have Cheng Shi go back to tell the Shaman as we continue forward.” Shu Feng agreed.

He also hoped they could return to the Tribe quickly. Those that originated from the Tribe would surely be very happy to see them.

Cheng Shi immediately nodded, standing on tiptoes and saying, “I’ll go back immedaitely. I want to bring this good news back.”

“Then, don’t be lazy. Try to get back to the Tribe by nightfall.” Shu Feng instructed.

Eager, Cheng Shi was already hovering with his wings flapping, nodding and smiling, “I’ll fly with all my might.”

“Come down first, I have something else to give you.” Shu Feng rolled his eyes.

Cheng Shi landed, confused, and asked, “Brother Shu Feng, what do you have to give me?”

Shu Feng handed over the fruits wrapped in leaves and said, “Take these back to the Shaman as well.”

“Sure thing!” Cheng Shi hugged those brown fruits and flew away.

“Being young is great. They are so full of energy.” Qing Yan smiled and shook his head, then asked, “By the way, what did you just give him?”

“I don’t know what they are either. I just saw them on a big tree. I thought the Shaman might know, so I picked a few for him to take back,” Shu Feng explained.

Qing Yan nodded thoughtfully and said. “I see. But those fruits can’t be eaten, right? I just smelled them and they have a terrible odour.”

“You’re right. Even wild birds despise them.” Shu Feng shrugged.
