"This is our last harvest today, patriarch."
Throwing a large prey on his hand to the ground, a tribal warrior in a settlement deep in the grassland reported in a low voice. He pointed at the patriarch in front of him who also looked a bit strong.
The tent nodded, and the body that talked casually for a few words finally began to retreat out of the door: "...Winter has begun, and the tribe has begun to stock up on food. Although this year's harvest is not very good, we
Still have accumulated a lot of prey."
"This is not a good sign." He bowed slightly before leaving, and the slowly revealed frown began to show his worries: "In previous winters, there were not so many prey here.
, and they are passing through our settlement in groups, looking like-"
"Stop talking, I know."
"--yes."
Bowing once again to perform tribal etiquette, the tribal warrior who reported the report finally closed his mouth, turned around and left the place. Then he took the spear in his hand and shuttled outside the tribe leader's tent noisily and loudly.
In the middle of the crowded crowd: "...Sigh."
"What's wrong Adamu, didn't you hunt a lot of prey today?" Sparse respectful greetings rang in the soldier's ears, and suddenly one of the tribesmen smiled and asked: "Why are you still like this?
Not happy?"
"It's not that I'm unhappy, I just feel a little...sad." Pouting his lips, the tribal warrior known as Adamu also waved his hand towards the other party: "Everything has happened in the past few days.
It all seemed so abnormal and there was nothing we could do.”
"There is nothing we can do." Another old man, who was hunched over with his hands behind his back, coughed and said: "We, the Tatar tribe, are not a big tribe. We have no way to move forward. Even if
Even if we see possible dangers, we can't take a step beyond them."
"Because that's the territory of the central tribe."
Frowning as he looked at the distance of the grassland where night was gradually falling, Adamu ended the brief exchange with a calm voice. He put the spear behind him and then lined up the crowd and headed towards the corner of the tribal settlement.
He walked over to where one of the tents was and said, "Huh, can we only sleep today?"
"Hey, Adamu, hey." A quiet call sounded in his ears, and a tough-looking young tribal boy came out from the side of the tent he was about to enter: "Adamu, Adamu, you
You showed off your power again today, right?"
"……brat."
The corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily. Adamu, who was carrying a spear, replied in a low voice to the boy who showed his head: "This is not the place you should come. Go back and rest quickly."
"I don't want it, I want to hear your story!" Shaking his head like a rattle, the little boy pouted his mouth in dissatisfaction: "You killed so many ferocious beasts today! You must have
Tell me more stories!"
"Adamu's stories will only be told to good, obedient children." He leaned down and knelt on the ground with one hand. Adamu's voice was gentle and he stretched out his big hand to caress the other person's head: "Go to bed quickly. Only those who go to bed on time
Children are good children. When you wake up tomorrow, I will tell you a story, okay?"
"I'm not going to sleep." The boy shrank his neck: "The noise at night is terrible, I, I, I can't sleep."
"...Are they those beasts?" He murmured in a low voice, and Adam's frown relaxed again: "Don't worry about those, I and the other warriors in the tribe will guard this settlement, no.
Wild animals can break in."
"They are always wandering around our settlement." The timid expression on the little boy's face has not disappeared: "Those sounds, howling sounds, running sounds, and biting sounds..."
"Listen, we are very close." As if he suddenly discovered something, the little boy suddenly pointed towards the back of the tent: "They, they are here, Adamu, they -"
"Don't move yet."
Slowly standing up, a tribal warrior named Adamu stood up and blocked the little boy from behind him: "Go and hide in the tent."
"..."
Wordlessly he raised his spear. His steps towards the darkness behind the settlement seemed extremely slow and light. The spear held tightly in his hand also restrained its edge as he turned around the tent, matching the surging force in the tent.
The breeze behind gradually merged together: "——Drink!"
clang!
The harsh sound of impact then echoed in a sudden burst of airflow, and the metal peaks and the peaks of the animal claws became particularly bright and obvious in the dazzling firelight. Adamu, who raised the spear thrust, then also
He cast his cold gaze on the leaping beast figure, followed by a heavy stamp that also stirred up a large cloud of grass clippings and soil: "You beasts! How dare you?
Sneak here!"
"This is no place for you to survive!"
The sharp shouts and several consecutive straight lines drawn by the gun tips formed a bright starburst in the darkness, entangled with the agile beast shadow that was also jumping in this starburst. Adamu, who was holding a gun in both hands, then also
In the midst of a fierce wind and dance, he suddenly retreated and fired a shot of gun air at the black shadow that was about to fall into the distance: "Go to hell!"
Crack!
Without any unnecessary sound, a cloud of blood flowers followed by the faint sight of the black shadow falling to the ground spread around the far end of the darkness. Adamu who crashed to the ground also exhaled a heavy breath,
His right arm, which aligned itself with the gun body, slowly pulled back: "... Huh."
"It's such an ominous sign." He shook his head, and then looked in the direction of the tent he had been guarding behind: "But it doesn't matter, it can't get up anymore."
"You can come out now, little guy." He raised his gun and tried to comfort the frightened boy hiding in the tent: "You have done a great job this time. If you hadn't discovered it in advance,
exist--"
"There are many more! Adamu!" A little boy shouted in the tent, and the interrupted voice also made the gun-wielding tribal warrior suddenly amplify his vigilance: "There are many more! Just on those grasslands.
deep!"
"--hateful."
Adamu, who held the spear tightly and turned around, took two steps forward and looked around with vigilant eyes at the figures of wild beasts that were revealed one by one in the distance. The lurkers who exuded the same dangerous aura also began to
In the distance of the shrouded darkness, their respective scarlet eyes were revealed, as well as the same pair of fangs that had once clashed with the spear in Adamu's hand: "So many saber-toothed beasts... they actually dared to attack the village in groups.
?”
“We must sound the alarm.” The tribal warrior reached out and touched a horn on his waist: “All warriors in the tribe must be summoned——”
Bang!
A heavy sound of falling to the ground then appeared in the distance of the grassland where the saber-toothed beasts were, accompanied by the frightening roars of the beasts jumping away in all directions. For some reason, the three animals appeared there out of thin air.
The two figures then climbed up vaguely surrounded by these beasts, seeming to be still distinguishing the surrounding movements from this sudden accident: "Ouch... So I told you to do it."
Get ready, so many cuties are waiting for us in this place..."
"Who told you to teleport suddenly! Can't you wait until we are ready before activating the teleportation magic? And this is at a time when we can't even see our fingers!"
"Time and location do not affect the transmission accuracy of the teleportation rune. You see, our current transmission error has not become too big. It's just that I forgot that my right hand was still powered, so I accidentally triggered the teleportation effect.
That’s all.”
"So we still have to thank you? Thank you for activating the rune after we came back instead of leaving us in that place?"
boom!
The dancing sword blade appeared with a sharp breath after the conversation. The three figures surrounded by the beasts then used their respective attacks to create a bloody wind and a violent explosion.
Then, together with the rising of the billowing fire, it occupied Adamu's wide-open field of vision, interrupting his stagnant gaze and his dull thoughts: "You, you--"
"Ah, are you from this settlement?" One of the men's voices mixed in the battle then sounded in his ears, and then another magical light was activated by the gray-robed figure waving his hand again.
Covered up: "Sorry, the way we appear here seems a bit suspicious, but please believe that we have no malicious intentions, we are just-"
"We are just a group of adventurers who fled here in advance."
In the scene where two sword-cutting sounds, one on the left and one on the right, drove away the bites of the two saber-toothed beasts, the gray-robed magician in the center spread his arms in the direction of Adamu: "For you
For the safety of the tribe, I came here to deliver a very important message."
"For the sake of us helping you deal with these night raiding beasts, please trust us a little bit."
*******************************
"So these beasts were actually driven here?"
The fierce battle that broke out on the edge of this settlement unexpectedly attracted the attention of the entire Datar tribe. A large number of warriors and ordinary tribesmen also gathered in this direction. They looked at the beasts that were chopped to pieces by Duan Qing and others.
The corpses of the players and the players who caused this great feat gradually understood the meaning of the news brought by these players: "A huge beast tide is approaching from the west?"
"How is it possible? We have never heard of such a large-scale beast attack. These saber-toothed beasts in front of us are already very rare for us..."
"But in this way, it can explain why we have seen so many herds during this period. The work of guards and patrols has increased recently, and battles have begun to become more and more frequent - they should
They were all sent here by the beast tide army over there!"
"It's also possible that they were driven here by an army of beasts, but in this case——"
"The patriarch has replied."
A tribesman who ran into the crowd then loudly announced the news he had brought. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked around the tribesmen, and finally stopped at the three adventurers who were watching: "
The patriarch wants to meet you."
"It seems that I want to ask clearly in person." Duan Qing nodded, and then smiled lowly at Xue Ling Huan Bing and Xu Yu Liushang and said, "Which of you is willing to go over?"
"Of course we went there together." The two women looked at each other and raised their eyebrows at the same time as if they had a tacit understanding: "No one can stay by his side! No one can take advantage of the other!"
"Oh, you two." Duan Qing took a long breath while pressing his forehead, and finally put away his thoughts of persuasion: "Remember to mention our identities, we are here with a mission.
"
"Then this... er, Mr. Adventurer."
Watching the two women with different temperaments but equally stunning beauty walking towards the depths of the settlement, Adamu who stayed in the same place then turned to the direction of Duan Qing with some hesitation: "What are you doing now?
…Uh, do you want to go to my tent and take a rest?”
"Take a rest? Ah, of course." Duan Qing looked at the tribal warrior with a gun in surprise. Duan Qing, who was stunned, then respectfully returned the salute: "After all, I have been busy all day again. I
I’m also a little tired, but——”
"Before that, I need to get in touch."
He made an apologetic gesture to the other party, and then took out a dim magic communication stone from his arms: "You haven't answered my call just now, you should answer it now...Hello? Hello?"
"..."
"Why, you haven't gotten out of the repair work yet?"
"..."
"I know, but if there is no emergency, I won't use this thing to contact you. Do you know that we almost lost our lives on the vast grassland just now?"
"..."
"No, we are out of danger now. It's just that we ran further away, which is where the second tribe is planned... Our teleportation runes have been used up. Do you think there is anything you can do about it?
——”
"..."
"What?"
The conversation that only he could hear naturally attracted everyone's attention. The gray-robed magician who covered his mouth and whispered the next moment burst out with a fierce and obvious scream, as if he realized that he had some reaction.
Overly excited, he then laughed dryly at the people around him, and then resumed his ugly expression while holding the magic communication stone: "You, you..."
"You're not going to take us back?"
