Will I die?

Atuna asked.

Li Qing was barely good at mobilization meetings and such, but when it came to encouraging people, he really didn't know: "I don't know."

Atuna smiled bitterly, "I just feel that if I die, I will have no way to repay your tribe for saving my life."

Li Qing said, "It's too early to talk about these things now."

Atuna understood Li Qing's implication and said bitterly, "No matter the outcome, your tribe helped her when she needed it most, and that's enough. No matter the outcome, we will remember this kindness for the rest of our lives."

Sensing the somewhat heavy atmosphere, Li Qing couldn't help but chuckle and tease, "Why are you helping her so much? I remember when the meteor shower came, you were with me, right? And you even went to the cave to find her just to save her. Hey, you wouldn't happen to like her, would you?"

Atuna couldn't stand such a joke, and her face immediately turned as red as a monkey's bottom. She said shyly, "Nonsense! She's our chief's daughter! How could I..."

“What do you mean by that?” Li Qing said with a meaningful smile. “Who cares who she is? Can’t someone else like her? And let me correct you on a small point: from the moment you mounted Big Black, you were no longer a member of the Black Wind Tribe.”

Atuna was shocked. These words were too direct. Atuna was silent for a full few seconds before he changed his words and said, "She is Tu's daughter and a level three warrior. I can't possibly be worthy of her. I'm not even a level one warrior. How could I possibly be worthy of her?"

Yun nudged Atuna and said with dissatisfaction, "Maizi was a level one warrior before, but he's a totem warrior now. You can't stay stagnant forever, can you?"

"A totem warrior?" Atu Na exclaimed in shock. "You're actually a totem warrior? My God... no wonder you were able to defeat Yu so easily."

Li Qing is far too young. Such a young totem warrior is beyond Atuna's comprehension. Moreover, this is the weakest of the three tribes, the Red Flower Tribe!

In Atuna's heart, he preferred to believe that the first to become a totem warrior among the three tribes was either Flame or Tu from their tribe, but it could never be someone from the Red Flower tribe, especially not such a young warrior whom he had never heard of before.

"cloud."

Li Qing scolded.

"Don't touch Atuna. He's in a similar state to Lieyan right now. If he infects you, it will be even more troublesome."

Yun shrugged her neck and obediently admitted her mistake, saying, "I know I was wrong, Mai Zi."

"that……"

Atuna asked tentatively.

Li Qing interrupted without hesitation, saying, "Now is not the time to chat, we need to go rescue people."

Living under someone else's roof and fearing to anger Li Qing, Atuna quickly shut up.

And so, after another bumpy journey, Li Qing finally found Boye, who was going around in circles without realizing it.

“Boye”.

Li Qing shouted.

When Li Qing called Boye, Boye was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, running around cursing and shouting. When he heard Li Qing call him, he finally stopped and said excitedly, "Maizi, it's you guys! That's great! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

"Hurry up and get on, then we'll go out and meet up with the chief before rescuing the others."

Li Qing said irritably.

“Coming right now,” Boye said, “but where is the chief?”

Li Qing said, "He's looking for people right now. Don't worry, he has a warhorse, and the warhorse will lead him to the exit. You don't need to worry about him."

"That's good. Hmm, who are this woman and this child...?"

Boye had never met Atuna and Lieyan before, and thought they were people from his own tribe who had become so unfamiliar because they were injured.

"I'm here."

Carboxyl waved helplessly to Boyer.

"Ah, I see," Boye said with a helpless laugh. "Then who are they?"

"They're from the Black Wind Tribe. To make a long story short, let's save as many as we can. Hurry up and stop dawdling," Li Qing said, his head aching. Why did he and Chu both love to ramble on so much? Now was not the time for rambling. Even though the number of people he saved was much less than he had expected, the agreed time of five hundred breaths was almost up. After saving Boye, he had to get back to Dian as soon as possible, no matter what.

Boye rambled on for a while, then mounted Big Black. "By the way, Wheat, do you smell anything strange?"

Li Qing was about to say that it was normal for there to be a smell since there was a fire nearby, but then he realized something was wrong and immediately sniffed.

The situation was so chaotic that Li Qing hadn't paid much attention to the "smell" before. But now that Boye reminded him, Li Qing could indeed smell a stench in the air that was even more foul and sour than human excrement.

The smell was very faint; if Boye hadn't pointed it out, Li Qing might never have noticed it. But... it wasn't the smell of smoke!

Could it be... that the iridium element has already spread to the entire Black Wind Tribe? No... once a meteorite of that magnitude explodes, the spread of the iridium element would definitely be extremely fast, and it would be perfectly normal for it to spread to a small tribe like the Black Wind Tribe!

“Boye, take a look. Do you have any injuries like those on Atuna?”

Li Qing asked.

He didn't tell Boye about the condition on Lieyan's body, for fear of frightening Boye.

“Atu Na…wait, what are these things on your body? They look disgusting, ugh…” Boye muttered, but he soon noticed that he also had a wound like Atu Na’s on his inner thigh. “Oh my god, I have one too!”

really!

Li Qing cursed and asked, "Where?"

Boye pointed to the location of the wound and asked, "The wound isn't very big, but what happened?"

Things were unfolding in the worst possible way that Li Qing had anticipated. Seeing that Li Qing didn't answer, Su asked worriedly, "Will Boye be alright? I didn't see him and Atuna have any physical contact just now, how could this be..."

Boye spat and said, "I wouldn't touch that kid from the Black Wind Tribe!"

Li Qing rubbed his temples, thinking to himself that he needed to leave the Black Wind Tribe as soon as possible, otherwise, not only Atuna or Lieyan, but all of their lives might be in danger.

"This has nothing to do with Atuna. Let's hurry up and meet up with Dian and the others, then leave this place."

"Get out of here!?"

Boye exclaimed in surprise.

"That's not what you said just now. Didn't you just say that we were going to save the other brothers?"

Li Qing said weakly, "The plan has changed. We'll meet with the chief first, and you'll know why I'm doing this later."

These words made Boye very uncomfortable. He was immediately enraged, stood up, stepped over Atuna and Lieyan, and gripped Li Qing's shoulders tightly with both hands, roaring, "Maizi, what do you mean? Are you willing to save these two guys from the Black Wind Tribe rather than risk your life to save our other brothers?"
