"We've already said we meant no harm, why are you all so stubborn?"
Ten minutes later, the group that had rushed forward all fell to the ground. The short-haired woman who had been leading them earlier had a dislocated arm and was kneeling on the ground, biting her lip as she stared at the people in front of her.
Especially Su Yuan, who was walking in front of them, had just pushed everyone to the ground with a wave of his hand. Apart from her and a few other Crystal Spirit Warriors, none of the others were able to stand up again.
Then came the two silver-armored men in front of them, whose faces were obscured. After a few rounds, they were sent flying.
"Haha, you're pretty good. You were actually able to hold your own against me even when Su Yuan was suppressing you. How about joining my team and working with me?"
Xin Ke, being quite guileless, took off her helmet, shook her long, matted hair, and walked over to extend her hand.
"Dream on, we can never become the Shadow People. A bunch of cowardly rats, who will only hide in their dark holes and cry their eyes out."
"Me? Cowardly and timid? All I do is cry with my head in my hands?" Xin Ke pointed to herself, somewhat confused.
When have I ever been cowardly, or cried with my head in my hands...? Well, I only cried once in front of Su Yuan, no, wait, I think I was also... during our one-on-one fight that night...
"Alright, alright, I'm not talking about you. I'll talk to them. You two, give your leader a proper explanation of what happened before."
The two sisters were pulled up. Seeing their fallen tribesmen and chieftain, their smug faces turned ashen, and they tearfully recounted what had happened.
"You were spying on their fight? And you got caught?"
"Sister Tuya, we were just curious about what was happening there, so we sneaked over to take a look."
"Are you two out of your minds? Didn't I tell you to hide in the cave when the sun is high at noon? Do you think I'm talking nonsense?"
Enraged, he disregarded his dislocated arm and grabbed his sister's ear with his other hand, pulling hard with even more force than Su Yuan had used before.
It seems he's really angered by these two little beast girls.
"Waaah, we were wrong, we'll never run around like that again."
"......"
After a while, Tuya also got some information about the three strangers from the two sisters. She looked at Su Yuan, who was watching the show, and asked him somewhat awkwardly.
"You're not from the canyon?"
"Of course not, otherwise I wouldn't have asked so many questions about Star Rift Canyon."
"So how did you get to Star Rift Canyon? Is there a way out of Star Rift Canyon? Or did you come down from the Wind Gap?"
In the distance, several beast howls broke their conversation. Tu Ya's expression tightened, and she hurriedly grabbed Su Yuan's arm and said anxiously.
“Come with us into the tribe first. Although those beasts aren’t as ferocious as they are during the day, they are still very dangerous. The light we’re using here will easily attract them.”
The group hurriedly followed the vines back to the platform. The previous platform was just an illusion created using Akashi; the real tribe was located above this cliff.
Directly below it lies another canyon fissure, from which a faint light is emanating in the distance...
"Is your tribe the only one around here?"
"There are other options, but everyone chooses to use these suspended stone platforms. As long as they use the Ming Stone to block out the surroundings, they can avoid the beast tide when the sun comes out."
The three followed Tuya into a walled enclosure made of bright stone slabs. Inside were some stone houses built of ordinary stones, and many beast girls were busy in twos and threes around the tribe.
A fire was lit in the center of the tribe, roasting food over it. The fire was bright, but the group had not seen a single wisp of light outside.
"It seems that Akashi has more uses than just making glass."
Su Yuan followed them into the tribe. As for whether it was a trap set by the other side, he wasn't too worried. The two sides were not even on the same level, so he didn't have the same worries and caution he had when dealing with Mu Guang.
