After the Flame Eagle King flew away, Chen Ke led the Youqi tribe to their encampment in the southern part of the wasteland, and on their first day there, they encountered the remaining warriors of the Xiongqi tribe.

The warriors of the Xiongqi tribe lost their families and children overnight. They were able to endure their grief and migrate to the wilderness in order to survive and avenge their people.

The Youqi tribe has always been on good terms with the Xiongqi tribe and they feel the same way about their tragic experiences. Who would have thought that simply saving a woman would lead to the destruction of their tribe?

When the warriors of the Xiongqi tribe recounted the horrific scene they witnessed upon returning to their tribe from the hunt, their eyes reddened with rage. They couldn't understand why that woman had killed their people.

In the wilderness, people can die from disease, from wild animals, or from any kind of natural disaster, but they can never die at the hands of their own kind.

“We rescued her from the Goddess River, and she has very beautiful clothes. I guess she must have come from that mysterious place,” a warrior from the Xiongqi tribe said.

When Chen Ke looked over, he found that the soldier's face was very calm. He could not see any anger or pain on his face. All Chen Ke could sense was his rationality that was beyond that of an ordinary person.

Seeing that Chen Ke was observing the warrior who had spoken, Karulu explained softly, "That's Jue, the son of the Xiongqi tribe chief. He was an excellent warrior... His father, mother, and sister were all killed by that woman."

As soon as Karulu finished speaking, Chen Ke heard the wise man Lacha say, "In recent decades, the movements of the Goddess River have indeed become more and more frequent. This omen..." The wise man Lacha paused here before continuing, "I don't know if it's good or bad."

Chen Ke was somewhat surprised. Didn't the wise man Lacha have previously believed that leaving the Goddess River meant entering the divine realm? Why was he starting to doubt it now? Had he finally given up his blind worship of the Savage Serpent God?

To be honest, Chen Ke had never seen the Savage Serpent God, but judging from the tone of the Great King Lizard, he felt that the Savage Serpent God was probably a ferocious beast of the same level as the Great King Lizard, but it should be a ferocious beast that was relatively close to the Youqi tribe, which is why the people of the Youqi tribe worshipped it as their guardian deity.

Thinking about this, Chen Ke suddenly realized that he should give the people of the Youqi tribe a heads-up. Otherwise, what if he took them to the Shenya Dynasty and found out that the Manwu Snake God, whom they worshipped as their protector, was actually being used as someone else's mount?

Wouldn't that cause their beliefs to collapse and their worldview to shatter?

After the wise man Lacha finished speaking, he noticed that Chen Ke looked deep in thought and asked, "Chief, what are your thoughts on this?"

"Whoosh!" The warriors of the Xiongqi tribe followed the gaze of the wise man Lacha and discovered that the leader of the Youqi tribe had turned into the former leader's... foolish son.

They were so engrossed in their grief and lamentation that they hadn't noticed, but now, looking around, they realized that the former leader of the Youqi tribe was no longer with the tribe.

Sensing the puzzled looks from the Xiongqi tribe warriors, the wise man Lacha explained, "During our migration, our chief was unfortunately injured and passed away, meeting the barbarian serpent god. Now, his son Buko has taken his place and become our new chief."

"Greetings, Chief Buko." After hearing the explanation from the wise man Lacha, the warriors of the Xiongqi tribe stood up and bowed to Chen Ke to express their respect. However, there was still a bit of strangeness in everyone's eyes. Was this Buko... a fool before?

Chen Ke didn't need to ask; he could tell what they were thinking just by looking at their expressions. He said directly, "I only suddenly woke up after my father passed away."

The warriors of the Xiongqi tribe nodded in understanding.

At this moment, Jue suddenly spoke up: "Chief Nabuko, what is your opinion on the woman who appeared in the Goddess Jiang?"

Chen Ke looked over and met Jue's calm and resolute gaze. After a moment, he said, "We can make many guesses from this incident, but no matter what, if I were you, that woman must die." Jue was very smart; Chen Ke thought he must have discovered something from Lin Yue.

Hearing Chen Ke's words, he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he lowered his eyes and said in a voice filled with icy coldness, "Of course."

"Yes! That woman must die!"

"Once the harsh winter is over, we'll immediately march back. We'll search every inch of the wilderness to find her, even if she's dead!" The warriors of the Xiongqi tribe immediately echoed.

There is a subtle tendency to follow the lead of the enemy.

The warriors of the Yuqi tribe immediately said that if anyone needed their help, they should not hesitate to ask them.

The cave where the Xiongqi tribe was stationed was not far from the Youqi tribe. Since the earlier arrivals had already built stone walls around it, the warriors of the Youqi tribe took the initiative to help and began to build stone walls together with the warriors of the Youqi tribe to defend against wild animals.

Outside, the soldiers were busy at work, the women were cleaning inside the cave, and the children were busily carrying water back and forth.

Chen Ke climbed to the top of the mountain behind the cave and looked out into the distance. All around him was a vast wilderness with herds of gentle herbivores. It was indeed a good campsite.

Looking up at the cloudless sky above, Chen Ke wondered where the Flame Eagle King had gone to pick flowers, as it had been so many days and he still hadn't returned.

In one day, the warriors of the two tribes worked together to build the stone wall. That evening, the Youqi tribe members took out the last of their barbarian beef jerky to treat the Xiongqi tribe warriors.

The warriors of the Yuqi tribe were astonished to see that they had actually defeated the warriors of the Man Niu Xiongqi tribe.

"You actually dared to hunt wild bulls, and you even succeeded?"

"My God, this is shocking."

Seeing the surprised looks on the Xiongqi tribe warriors' faces, the Youqi tribe warriors couldn't help but proudly say, "This is all thanks to our chief Buke!"

"Chief Buko? Impossible!"

"Yes, although he looks better, his body feels... um..." The soldier hesitated before speaking, ultimately refraining from uttering the words "very weak" due to his status.

Even though the warrior didn't say it outright, the people of the Youqi tribe completely understood his meaning. Raising an eyebrow, they immediately issued a challenge, "After we finish eating, we'll have a match, and you'll see!"

The warriors of the Xiongqi tribe were surprised that the Youqi tribe was keeping them in suspense. However, they were already worried about where to vent their anger, and they thought that a fight would be a good way to release their grief and indignation. So they all readily agreed.

Chen Ke had already seen through Karulu and the others' intentions. The murderer who killed his people had fled into the wild forest, while the Xiongqi warriors had to migrate to the southern part of the wasteland because of the coming winter. Their hearts were already full of anger and grief, and if they did not vent it, they were afraid that they would collapse.
