"Hey, there's someone inside! It seems to be a woman."
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Without waiting for Jiang Xue to take any action, the leader pointed at Jiang Xue and scolded her.
Jiang Xue looked at them coldly, a hint of sneer in her eyes, but pretended to be terrified and said to them, "I... I escaped from the tribe. There has been a severe drought recently, and our tribe doesn't have enough water."
The leader paused, then sighed and said, "That's right. Our tribe also has no water, so we can't mobilize the entire tribe to migrate here."
Perhaps because they were all "short of water", the leader said, "Don't be afraid. What tribe were you from before? It is said that the Bear Tribe was wiped out by the people of the Snake Tribe. If you don't mind, you can join our tribe."
Jiang Xue frowned: "I..."
"Chief, how could you allow a woman of unknown origin to join our tribe?"
"She's a woman who left her hometown to make a living. It's hard enough. Helping others is helping yourself. This matter is settled." The man turned to Jiang Xue and said, "By the way, what's your name, and which tribe are you from?"
Jiang Xue's lips curled up slightly. "I'm Wu Lan from the Bamboo Tribe. What tribe are you from?"
"Bamboo Tribe?" The man sighed. "No wonder you escaped. I heard the situation in your Bamboo Tribe is even worse than our Fire Tribe." He stared at Jiang Xue and said, "You were able to bring fire with you when you went out?"
Jiang Xue didn't answer him. Instead, she leaned against the wall tiredly and said, "If you feel cold at night, you can light a fire here. I've been traveling all day and I'm a little tired."
She wasn't lying, she was really tired.
It took her a whole day to get from the Snake Tribe to the Bear Tribe yesterday, and her mental strength had long been overdrawn.
If it weren't for the Spirit Gathering Pill, she would never have been able to reach the Bear Tribe.
"Thank you very much. We will get the fire and rest. We won't disturb you anymore."
Jiang Xue closed her eyes, leaned her head against the stone wall harmlessly, and fell into a deep sleep.
"It looks like no one has lived here for a long time. The grass looks moldy." A woman from the Fire Tribe pinched her nose and said impatiently, "Chief, why don't we move somewhere else? This place is too dirty."
The Fire Tribe leader sighed, "Lingya, where do you want us to move to? We originally wanted to find the Bear Tribe's territory and reproduce here. If you can't even endure this little hardship, then we will have to endure a long period of hardship in the future. When that time comes, what will you do?"
Ling Ya said, "But it stinks here!"
"It's okay if it stinks. Didn't you see that Wu Lan from the Bamboo Tribe over there can live here? Why can't you?"
"How can I be the same as her? She's all alone, and there are so many of us here. Any of us can kill her with just a flick of our fingers!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The Fire Tribe glared at her. "Why don't you think before you speak? Think about it carefully. If she is really just an insignificant person from the Bamboo Tribe, how do you think she could have come into contact with fire?"
"Tomorrow morning I will ask her for advice on how to preserve this fire."
"Brother Chief, this fire must have been left here by the Bear Tribe before, and she picked it up. What does she know?"
"Keep your voice down!" The Fire Tribe leader frowned. "Do you think she could have escaped from the Bamboo Tribe to the Bear Tribe's territory on her own? Do you think she has no way to save her life?"
"How clever can a woman be?" Ling Ya clearly disagreed with him. Using the light from the fire, she lowered her voice and said to the Fire Tribe leader, "Chief, I think that woman must be quite clever. She chose the best position. Why don't you go talk to her and ask her to give her position to us?"
The Fire Tribe leader looked at her and said, "Lingya, if you cause trouble for us again, don't blame us for kicking you out." He said earnestly, "If you hadn't been so willful, how could we have rushed here at night?"
"I……"
"Okay, let everyone come in and collect more firewood. We will stay here today."
Ling Ya glared at Jiang Xue angrily for a while, then turned and walked out.
With the support of the Fire Tribe's chief, Jiang Xue didn't receive any special care.
After resting for a night on the Bear Tribe's territory, she woke up in the morning to see them barbecuing.
Seeing that she had opened her eyes, the Fire Tribe leader said to her, "Wulan, come and have some food with us."
Jiang Xue was slightly stunned, and it took her a long time to remember that she was the one who told him last night that she was Wu Lan from the Bamboo Tribe, and that she had dug the pit with her own hands, and no matter how hard, tiring or disgusting it was, she had to finish burying the pit with tears in her eyes!
She immediately shook her head: "No, I want to rush to the Snake Tribe. Do you know which direction the Snake Tribe is?"
"Snake Tribe?" The Fire Tribe leader frowned. "Wu Lan, listen to my advice. You'd better not go looking for them. I heard they are ruthless and cruel. Not only did they destroy the Bear Tribe, but they also wiped out the Eagle Tribe."
Jiang Xue lowered her eyes. Weren't they very isolated from the news? How come after so much time had passed, it seemed that except for the people in her own tribe, everyone in other tribes knew that the Snake Tribe had destroyed the Eagle Tribe?
Even the Bear Tribe was described as "annihilated by the Snake Tribe" in their mouths?
How miserable.
"I heard that there is a big river behind the mountain of their tribe. I thought that they should not be short of water." Jiang Xue wanted to lead them to the Snake Tribe as well. The Snake Tribe was in need of manpower at the time, and one more person meant more strength.
