【Three Thousand Nutrient Solutions Plus】
The next day.
A Sulin opened his eyes and felt even more uncomfortable than before he went to bed yesterday.
After a moment, "......?"
He hesitantly took the empty bottle out of his mouth, his expression blank for a moment.
As soon as Asulin moved, Ning Ren woke up as well. He rubbed his eyes and sat up half asleep. He patted his face and seemed to be a little more awake. Seeing Asulin holding his bottle, he suddenly chuckled twice.
A Sulin suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Ning Ren: "Dad is fine."
A Sulin: "What's wrong?" Nothing serious happened to him in the first place.
"Yesterday, A Ren was hungry and called you, but you didn't wake up," Ning Ren explained. "So A Ren dried your hair and gave you water from his own bottle."
“…”
A Sulin is a little unfamiliar with the words "feed water".
He tightened and loosened his grip on the bottle, trying to convince himself that the cub was being kind, and as a father he should encourage and thank it, that's what the book said.
A Sulin coughed lightly and patted the child's head: "Well done, thank you for your hard work."
These seven words are the highest praise the leader can give.
“It’s very simple!”
Ning Ren said happily, "Blow-drying your hair is super easy. Fei Fei Mu blew you up and rolled you around. It was effortless for Ah Ren! I was just a little tired when I ran to get the water."
Asulin couldn't laugh anymore.
He was silent: "Where did you get the water?"
Ning Ren blinked and pointed in the direction of the hot spring.
“…”
After a while.
“You did a great job.”
A Sulin said expressionlessly: "Don't do it again next time."
Ning Ren: “?”
Asulin took a deep breath.
He should send Ning Ren to the clan school with Teacher Jeremy as soon as possible, so that Jie Ling and Nian Lieliu don't have to leave one of them to look after the child, and he can be much more relaxed.
-
Asulin announced to the public that the young master was injured and recuperating, so the City of Chaos was abnormally quiet for the next few days.
The rest of the tribes left one after another, each with their own thoughts. They walked lightly as they were afraid of bringing bad luck to someone else.
In the end, only the Beauty Snake and the Red Horse tribes remained in the City of Chaos.
The White Feather Clan was the only one of the four major clans not implicated in the Guangyu Banquet incident. However, after the Great Wizard White Crow left, he still had his clansmen send an apology gift, giving the City of Chaos ample face.
Jie Ling has been staying in the Finance Department for the past few days, checking the account books with his subordinates here.
"The gift Bai Yu sent was just the right amount, neither too much nor too little. They're hoping to put the Guangyu Feast challenge behind them and maintain peaceful coexistence with our Chaos City."
"Right Inspector, should we accept it?"
"Take it, but you have to do some superficial work."
Nianlie pushed the door open and came in, raising an eyebrow and asking, "How many days do you plan to leave them alone?"
The compensation they demanded from the Serpent Mermaid and the Red Horse tribes had arrived long ago. Although the Lions asked for a huge sum, the other party was in the wrong, and they had hostages in their hands, so they had no choice but to hand it over.
"The compensation offered by the Red Horse Tribe is still not enough."
"So you don't plan to release Isa?" Ninglie thought, "That's fine. The Red Horse Tribe is already at war with us anyway."
Jie Ling put down the account book and smiled slightly: "Now that the compensation is in place, of course you can leave." He already knew that the young master was not seriously injured and recuperating as rumored. Now that he had the extortion money, there was no need to detain them and waste food.
Ninglie: "Yulila is in the Insect Cave. She's probably on her last legs. Are you sure Jabaili won't be angry?"
Jie Ling said calmly, "She will, but after she returns to her tribe, she probably won't have time to bother us."
Fierce: "What do you mean?"
Jie Ling: "Of all those who have made it big in the tribe, none are as strong-limbed and simple-minded as you. Just wait and see, we should be able to hear a lot of good things in the near future."
Fierce: "? Jie Ling, you're looking for death!"
Just as Jie Ling said, Queen Yabai returned to her tribe on the same day that Yulila returned.
And Isa made a request:
He wanted to see Ning Ren before leaving.
When Ning Ren found out, he was squatting on the blanket beside the bed, fiddling with the many gifts that his tribesmen had given him two days ago. Asulin's palace had been occupied by all kinds of things belonging to the cubs.
"Brother Isa is leaving?"
A Sulin: "You want to see him."
"Yeah, we haven't had a good time playing together yet," Ning Ren said, "A Ren likes him, and Little Red Bear likes him too. Brother Isa is very good."
The young chief of the Red Horse Clan, the half-grown boy.
With a lie that was awkward and arrogant, he protected the two children's hope that the 'dead would come back', and also gained their pure and straightforward friendship, even though this friendship was probably the children's self-conceit, even though they had only met twice.
A Sulin was silent for two seconds, "Okay, go meet him."
Ning Ren: "Take the little red bear with you!"
He patted his butt and stood up. "Then I'll go find Congcong now. We need to prepare a gift for Brother Isa!"
-
The outer city of the city of chaos.
Isa waited for a long time. The sky darkened and dusk was about to fall, but the figure he wanted to see still did not appear.
Barre urged, "Young Chief, let's get going quickly."
Isa: "Wait a little longer."
His tribe lived west of the Chaos City, across a desert. The oasis beyond the desert was his home. After nightfall, the desert would become dangerous, so they needed to set up camp and rest.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the city gate was still quiet. Isa said dejectedly, "Let's go."
"Brother Isa!"
Suddenly, two shadows, one big and one small, flew out from above the city wall. They were Ning Ren and Cong Cong. They flew down and ran towards Isa.
Ninglie followed them closely.
Isa: "I thought I'd never see you again!"
Ning Ren panted: "No, no, I'll go find Little Red Bear. We have a gift for you."
Isa: "Gift?"
"Um!"
Ning Ren took out a string of glittering star bracelets from his small pocket and handed it to Isa on tiptoe.
Ning Ren has a special liking for shiny things, and this is his favorite bracelet among the pile of gifts he received.
"And mine!"
Congcong quickly raised the thing in his hand: "Brother Isa, this is for you."
This is a palm-sized copper block, which was made by melting all the copper coins that Congcong earned from his work in a furnace. It is the most precious thing to him at the moment.
There are paintings on the copper block.
The artist's brushstrokes are rough, but you can see that the painting includes its brothers and sisters, it, Ning Ren and Isa.
Isa held the two gifts and felt indescribable.
He didn't consider them as friends at all, especially the little red bear Congcong. In his eyes, Congcong's race didn't qualify him to be friends.
The reason he waited so long was just to say sorry to Ning Ren in person.
That's all.
But now, looking into Ning Ren and Cong Cong's eyes, he couldn't say the words of apology.
The twists and turns between ethnic groups are too complicated for them to understand. What good will it do if he tells them? Does A Ren really understand?
Isa's Adam's apple rolled. He solemnly placed the copper block on his chest and put on Ning Ren's bracelet.
"Thanks."
Even if they would become enemies in the future, at least at this moment, he didn't want to disappoint these two innocent feelings. The races on the continent were divided into high and low, but feelings should not be divided into different levels.
"But," Isa curled his lips, "don't call me Brother Isa, it's too corny. Just call me Big Brother."
Ning Ren: "Brother."
Congcong also followed obediently and said, "Big brother."
Isa suppressed his lip and cleared his throat. "Well, I'll be leaving now. When I return to the tribe, I'll send you some seeds I've researched myself. Our Chima tribe's planting techniques are among the best!"
Ning Ren: "Wow, can Ah Ren's family also grow it?"
He heard from Uncle Jie Ling that no plants ever grew in the City of Chaos, and the red fruits he ate were all brought in from outside.
Isa snorted. "You'll know when it's delivered to you. You can grow it together. It's easy to grow. If it dies, I'll hold you accountable."
Ning Ren and Cong Cong became nervous and repeatedly promised that they would plant the crops well.
Isa then turned and left without looking back, just waving at them casually.
"Goodbye!"
"Goodbye, big brother!"
The two cubs waved hard together.
This was the first time Ning Ren sent a friend on a long journey. Now he didn't understand the complicated emotions. He just stood here with Little Red Bear for a long time. When they could no longer see Isa's shadow, they went back together holding hands.
Ning Ren: "Isa is the eldest brother, Congcong you are the youngest, then I am the second brother."
Congcong nodded: "Yeah!"
Ning Ren was depressed for half a second. When he was with Momo and Yuanyuan, he was the boss! But here he became the second brother.
-
The return trip was slow.
Isa had been walking in the desert for two days.
In the middle of the desert.
The team lit a bonfire and set up camp to rest.
"General Barre, is this true?"
"Of course! When I followed the old patriarch, my boss, I felt so free! He took care of everything for me!"
"The grassland is so comfortable. Alas, the older I get, the more I think about it. I'm getting old."
"When the young patriarch grows up, I will return to the grassland. I haven't basked in the sun there for a long time."
They will arrive at the tribe the day after tomorrow. Away from the dangerous chaotic city, Barre felt much more relaxed, and a smile appeared on his stern face. He chatted with the soldiers in the camp for a while, bragging a little, which was just fun.
Seeing Isa standing alone at the edge of the camp from afar, he restrained his smile, told the soldiers to have a good meal later, and went to look for Isa.
Barre came over with a wine jug, "Young Chief."
Isa hadn't spoken to him much in two days.
"Uncle Barre, this is the last time I'll call you that," Isa said, turning around. "After I return to my tribe, I'll transfer you away from me."
Barre was a subordinate of his father. After his father died, it was Barre who took care of him.
In his impression, this uncle was cheerful and upright, and often took him to the grassland to run freely and chase the wind. But after his father died, Uncle Barre seemed like a different person.
He is very nervous and thinks about this and that all day long, always feeling that someone is trying to harm him.
Isa was patient and comforted him at first.
Later, I found that Barre also began to think and calculate everywhere, and acted cruelly, which made me very annoyed.
Especially this time, Barre clearly knew that the poison needle would be fired automatically, but he still asked him to find Ning Ren, hoping to make Ning Ren fall into the trap without anyone knowing.
If the Guhuo Bird had not accidentally stopped it, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Barre: "Young Chief, they want to kill you too!"
Isa: "Who wants to kill me? How many people in the world want to kill me?!"
The soldiers who were eating suddenly let out a scream.
"poisonous!"
"The food is poisonous!"
Isa was stunned and looked towards the camp: "What's going on?!"
"Young Patriarch, there's poison here..."
The soldier who spoke had a crimson face, bulging eyes, and blood at the corners of his mouth. After finishing his words, he collapsed to the ground.
Dead!
Isa was horrified.
They brought two thousand soldiers with them, and at this moment these soldiers fell one after another. Anyone who had eaten dinner today died suddenly.
Of the two thousand soldiers, only less than a hundred were left in the end!
Barre reacted quickly and shouted, "Come here! All living soldiers, escort the young master away!"
From afar came the sound of horse hoof bells and a low, hoarse laugh:
"It's too late."
When the other person walked in, a face with a long scar on the right cheek came into Isa's sight. Isa was bewildered: "Uncle Seka..."
Seka waved his hand, and his men immediately surrounded Isa, Barre and the surviving soldiers.
Sekhar is a new upstart who has been promoted in the tribe in the past two years. He is arrogant and domineering. He is a chess piece used by the elders to check the new patriarch's autocracy. He is also a subordinate trained by the elders who support orthodoxy for Isa.
Barre and Seka were usually polite to each other and there was no conflict at all, but now Seka was here to intercept them!
Seka: “Kill them all.”
Barre protected Isa and shouted angrily, "Sekhar! Is this what the elders want?! The chieftain will not let you go if he finds out!"
"Brainless thing," Seka scratched his ears, "Shut up! Kill him!"
"kill!!"
"Protect the young master to break through the siege!!"
With the flash of swords and the flying of sabers, the desert instantly turned into a sea of blood.
Isa's mind was in a state of great confusion, and he instinctively followed Barre to charge towards the weakest point of the encirclement.
The smell of blood in his nose was extremely unpleasant, and the hot blood splashed on his face. The soldiers who had said good things to him yesterday died one by one in front of him.
The dead soldiers all seemed to have the same face and expression.
They were anxious and desperate to find a way out for him.
Isa's fingers were shaking.
Seka narrowed his eyes, poured his mental power into the spear in his hand, and threw it hard at Isa!
"Young Master, be careful!"
Barre shoved Isa aside, only for the spear to pierce his chest completely.
Isa's pupils trembled: "Uncle Barre!"
Blood was oozing out of Barre's mouth, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes were red. He was trembling all over, gritting his teeth and shouting fiercely, "Go! Go—!"
"Go back alive to find the patriarch! Live well!"
He turned around, raised his knife and rushed towards Seka, his horse's hooves raised high, and Yuejing's mental power burst out instantly, "I will kill you!"
Seka: "Want to self-destruct?"
He snapped his fingers, and the spear stuck in Barre's chest instantly grew bigger and bigger, stretching Barre's ribs and making crackling sounds. With a bang, the spear completely squeezed Barre's heart and burst.
"ah--!!"
Isa collapsed and let out a mournful roar.
The bracelet on his wrist, given by Ning Ren, sensed Isa's overflowing spiritual power and turned into a long moonlight whip. Isa was stunned for a moment, then he grabbed the whip tightly and swung it around like crazy: "Ahhhhhh!"
The Moonlight Whip had extraordinary attack power, and he quickly broke through a gap.
Barre's life has come to an end.
He stared at Seka's mocking smile and laughed along, blood and saliva flowing down his face. "Idiot, I'm going to blow you to death."
In Saka's suddenly terrified sight, Barre's body swelled up like a balloon, and all the terrifying energy rushed towards Saka.
"This is impossible! Your heart is broken! How could you possibly explode?!"
Barre could no longer hear anything. All around him was white. He muttered:
"Boss, I've raised the child for you. I'm coming to find you right now. You have to protect me in the future. I don't want to scheme anymore..."
He took one last look at Isa's back, who was still fighting frantically, and said, "Barre, give the young patriarch a ride..."
boom--
The aftermath of the energy scattered the entire encirclement.
Isa flew dozens of meters away. He grabbed the fine sand under his hands, tears welling up in his eyes. He stood up quickly, gritted his teeth, and without looking back, ran towards the direction of the tribe.
whoosh!
An arrow hit Isa right in the heart.
The young man looked stunned. The moonlight whip in his hand fell into the sand and turned into a bracelet again. He fell heavily to the ground.
A woman dressed as a cook walked out of the camp. She put away her longbow and said to the embarrassed Sekhar, "You are so careless."
Seka had only suffered minor skin injuries. They walked up to Isa, kicked the boy's legs, and after confirming that he was not breathing, they said, "Chief, you can rest assured now. This kid is finally dead."
Manda: "Barre still believed that the chief truly loved Isa until his death. How foolish... He didn't even think about the fact that the chief clearly had a child of his own. How could he allow his brother's child to sit on the position of chief again?"
Seka sneered, "Each tribe values their successors. This time, only our Chima tribe sent the young leader to the Guangyu Feast. Barley sensed something was amiss and tried to stop it, thinking there were rebels within the tribe plotting to assassinate Isa. Since he couldn't stop them, he followed them and replaced me. Otherwise, Isa would have died even sooner."
"Actually, there aren't any rebels. It's just the clan leader..."
Manda: "Okay, as long as the goal is achieved."
They piled the bodies up and set them on fire.
The flames burned fiercely, and the burning smell filled the desert, attracting many carnivores that were afraid of the fire and dared not move forward.
Bang!
A bloody and burnt hand stretched out from the pile of corpses.
Isa used up his last bit of strength and moved himself away from the fire. He collapsed on the desert, looking up at the night sky and suddenly laughing like crazy.
It turns out that Seka is not a pawn used by the elders to check and balance the new chief, but a spy arranged by the new chief to join the elders!
It's his uncle who wants to kill him...
There are no rebels, Seka said.
It was clear at a glance who was the mastermind behind the internal rebellion that caused his father's death!
It's not Barre who's stupid, it's him.
The one he can rely on is not the new clan leader, but the clan elders who have been squeezed out everywhere in recent years.
Isa smiled with tears in his eyes, and with trembling hands he took out a copper block from his chest. There was a hole in the middle of the copper block, a gift from the little red bear, which helped him block Manda's fatal blow.
He lay there for a long time before he managed to stand up.
Isa found the lost bracelet, squeezed out a bit of mental power and injected it into it, then holding the moonlight whip, he drove away the predators in the desert and walked towards the tribe step by step.
His clan members tried to kill him, but two friends saved his life.
He, Isa, repays kindness with kindness and takes revenge with revenge.
Only by returning to the tribe can he rely on his status as the "young patriarch" and the support of the elders to have the capital for revenge.
