Pathfinders do not belong to either the People of Light or the People of Shadows, nor do they possess any characteristics of Pathfinders. They become Pathfinders simply by leaving their tribe to explore the way out of this canyon.
Su Yuan paused for a few seconds, then nodded and accepted the identity.
His gaze fell on An Lian in front of him. The girl's skin was somewhat pale, and her expression looked very weak, which was somewhat related to the character "Lian" in her name, but it did not quite match her identity as an awakened warrior.
Her long, light gray hair reached her waist and was tied with a rope, with a few strands falling on either side of her face. She wore a dress woven from some unknown plant that covered her upper and lower body.
Her right leg seemed to have a wound that had long since healed, causing her to always walk with a limp, which didn't look like a high-level awakened warrior at all.
The forest was very quiet. Apart from the young commander, the only person around was the leader of the Dark Compassion Clan. The rest of the people were hiding in their fruit huts.
"Then what is the purpose of your visit to our tribe, fellow travelers? If you need some food and water, I will have Wanxing take you to get some later."
Although An Lian looked pitiful, her tone and demeanor were not as weak as she appeared. Her eyes were fixed on Su Yuan, and her dark pupils were full of calm.
Su Yuan also stared into her eyes, as if trying to see through An Lian into those pupils.
However, it remained as calm as ever, like a stagnant pool.
“We don’t need food or water. We recently found a way to leave Star Rift Canyon, and we’ve come here to invite the Shadow People to leave with us.”
After accepting the identity of the Pathfinder, Su Yuan revised his previous plan.
Qingmei's words, coupled with Anlian's expression, made him feel that the Fungus Forest District was not as simple as Mingqin and the others had said before, and there was probably another story behind it.
So he transformed himself into a pathfinder who had searched for a way out of Star Rift Canyon throughout the ages. If the other party responded, he would use a teleportation array to send them out.
If not...
Su Yuan smiled at An Lian. The surrounding fruits moved, and some small sounds rang out. Everyone was excited about being able to leave Star Rift Canyon.
However, a strange emotion flashed across An Lian's calm expression, but she quickly recovered.
"Throughout generations of pathfinders, the entire Star Rift Canyon has been traversed, from the Fungus Forest to the Crystal Cluster, and even in the Windy Pass, only one path has been found that can only be climbed out by Crystal Spirit Warriors."
"How did you find the way out of Star Rift Canyon, and can you guarantee everyone's safe departure? After all, not everyone is as powerful as you..."
"able."
"What?"
Su Yuan smiled and, seeing An Lian's slightly flustered expression, continued, "I won't go into detail about how we found our way out, but we can guarantee that everyone will leave safely."
"We can also guarantee that after we leave, everyone will have a safe place to live, enough food to fill their stomachs, and a warm house, and they won't be ambushed by ferocious beasts for some food and salted noodles."
"......"
Even Wanxing couldn't help but step forward and look at Su Yuan, her voice trembling as she asked, "Are you... are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true. You can try it if you don't believe me."
Su Yuan had just noticed An Lian's reluctance to leave. If she wasn't being controlled, then she must have her own plans.
He wanted to see if, if a way out was found, Anlian would abandon her plans for the sake of the tribe, or would she prevent the tribe from leaving for the sake of her plans.
