Chapter 319 Request for Assistance
In the past, the Zhunti birds would attack them, but this year, when the Earthlings came, these birds turned around and attacked them, resulting in heavy losses. The old patriarch was very happy to hear the news.
The old patriarch thought of the weapons that Chen Cheng and the others had used to deal with the Zhunti Bird. The old patriarch hesitated. Chen Cheng saw what he wanted to say, "Old patriarch, if you have any request, as long as it is reasonable, we will agree to it."
"I know your weapons are powerful, so I'd like to ask if you could help the Forest Tribe overcome this difficult time this year. We will do our best to cooperate with you and find a way to restore your planet."
The forest tribe members who went to various city-states on Earth disguised as NPCs came back one by one, but they could not make equipment all at once because they needed materials.
However, on the planet Gutas, it will be difficult to find alternative materials in the short term, and it will take time to experiment to find alternatives.
Chen Cheng lowered his eyes. Actually, his superiors had given him some authority. As long as it wasn't a big deal, he would agree to it. However, helping the tribe through a crisis still needed to be reported to the higher-ups.
He knew that these forest tribes had talents, but he didn't know how much damage they could do.
"I will report your request to my superiors. If approved, we will do our best to help."
The superiors were also very concerned about the situation here, and they sent other teams to other areas of the planet Gutas to see if they could find other intelligent creatures.
The old patriarch knew that although Chen Cheng was the commander of this group of humans, the real leader was not here. This was told to him by the tribesmen who returned from Yanjing.
"Then I'll rest assured."
The next tribe’s matter is the most important. Only after this matter is over can we discuss other matters with humans.

Lu Jiu has been teaching the Komori people archery these days. They have mastered the skills very quickly, and coupled with their strong physique, they have become more and more powerful, and are on the verge of hitting the target every time.
But she felt that the atmosphere in the clan was a little solemn, as if something was about to happen.
"Wine, wine?"
The voice calling in her ear brought her back to her senses. She looked up and saw that it was the little forest tribe standing in front of her. "Huh? What's wrong?"
This little girl from the forest tribe looked at Lu Jiu with her round eyes and pointed at the target. "I shot all three arrows into the center. Can I get the reward you mentioned?"
Lu Jiu then looked over and saw that there were indeed three arrows in the center. "Of course, this is a potion for you. Your tribesmen who came back should have told you that this is very effective for us, but I'm not sure how it will work for you. You can take this bottle of potion to consult your tribesmen."
As he spoke, he took out a bottle of peach energy potion and gave it to her. Lu Jiu did not meet the manager of her city-state pharmacy here, but there were pharmacists who had returned from other city-states, and she believed they also needed this.
After all, the "NPC" learned the pharmaceutical skills in the city-state, and when he returned, he could not bring back anything that was not given by the city lord.
The little forest girl held the pink peach-shaped bottle and said, "Thank you. I will ask my tribe members."
Lu Jiu nodded, "Well, don't drink it on your own initiative. It's for healing." Then he asked, "I see your tribe members seem worried lately. Is there something going to happen to your tribe recently?"
When the little forest tribe member heard this question, his originally bright smile faded. "Yes, the Zhunti Bird and the Chou Tuan are coming to invade our home again. Everyone should prepare for battle."
She didn't want to say anything more after that, so Lu Jiu just touched her face. This was because her relationship with these little forest tribes had improved recently, so she could only have such an intimate behavior.
"You can use these bows and arrows on that day. Return them to me after your tribe's affairs are over."
Just then, other small forest tribesmen came over and ran over when they heard Lu Jiu say that. "Is it true, Jiu?"
Lu Jiu nodded, "It's true. These are all my own things. I don't need to listen to other people's opinions before giving them to you. Take them. You have seen the power of bows and arrows."
Several small forest tribesmen squatted on the ground and touched the bow. They really liked this weapon, but unfortunately the returning tribesmen had not found the right materials to make it.
Moreover, there are creatures that are about to invade outside recently, so everyone cannot leave too far and must travel together.
"Thank you for the wine. When I get home I'll ask my father to give me energy crystals as payment for the bows and arrows you gave us."
"Yes, I also want to ask my mother for energy crystals."
Lu Jiu knew that the most valuable thing here was probably the energy crystal they were talking about. "You're welcome."

Two days later, Shen Jufeng originally wanted to find those little forest tribes to continue training, but none of the children came to the fixed training location.
He told Lu Jiu about this, and the two of them immediately went to other places in the clan territory to take a look.
Two groups of troops arrived in the past two days. They were official reinforcements, and the other group was people from other countries who followed their army here.
Although the forest tribe did not attack these people here, their attitude was completely different from how they treated the Chinese.
Later, Lu Jiu learned that the locations where the Forest Clan served as NPCs were basically in China and surrounding areas. He had a general understanding of the situation there, but these foreigners were different.
They arrived at the exit of the tribe's territory and found that many forest tribesmen had gathered there, and everyone looked serious.
Shen Jufeng pulled Lu Jiu to Shen Cheng's side. Shen Cheng didn't know how long he had been standing there. At the same time, there were troops holding weapons, as if a battle was about to take place.
These days, Lu Jiu and the others hardly looked for Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng had been in contact with the old patriarch, and they were basically teaching the little forest tribes how to use bows and arrows.
"Uncle, what's going on?" Shen Jufeng asked.
Chen Cheng turned around and saw his nephew whom he hadn't seen for a few days, "It's just that other creatures are about to attack here, and the forest tribe is making preparations."
The forest tribe's territory is very large, and they are far away from each other and busy with their own things and can't see each other. Chen Cheng has been too busy recently and forgot to tell them this news.
"Other creatures? The Cundi bird?" Lu Jiu was deeply impressed by this bird. It was because he killed this bird that the forest tribe that had been monitoring them showed up.
Chen Cheng shook his head, "There's more than just the Zhunti bird, there's another one, but we don't know what it is."
Lu Jiu turned his head and looked towards the exit of the tribe's territory. "But isn't this place very secret? We couldn't find it before without the forest tribe to lead us."
Chen Cheng sighed, "This is the antagonism between species. The Forest Tribe's homeland wasn't so hidden before. After they came here, the creatures that attacked them couldn't find them for thousands of years. But later, they evolved and memorized their scent and developed special abilities to attack them."
Lu Jiu was shocked when he heard this. It had been thousands of years and they still hadn't let go of the forest tribe. They were staring at such a tribe. He really didn't know what he meant by that.
"Well, that's quite tenacious. They found this place after thousands of years without becoming extinct."
Chen Cheng: "The lifespan of creatures here is different from that on Earth. Take the forest tribe for example, their average lifespan is around 1,500 to 1,600 years. So, even if we say we haven't found this place for thousands of years, it's actually only two generations."
Lu Jiu: “…” No wonder there are so few children here. If their lifespan is very high, it would be abnormal for this planet.
