"Let's leave first."
As they left the oasis, they could already see some points of light approaching in the distance. Shado led the group along, with mechanical beasts carrying the supplies they had collected.
On the way, her younger sister came up to her again, looking at her older sister's gloomy face and asking with some concern.
"Sister, do you think they might also be newly exiled and, in a moment of despair, are contemplating..."
She didn't say what came next, but everyone knew that knowing the oasis was dangerous at night, yet still staying there was clearly suicidal.
"Maybe they're just here to fetch water. They won't get sunburned on the way if they fetch water at night."
"But you should leave after you've collected the water."
"......"
The others around started talking, and Shado stopped and looked at another beast girl beside her.
"Green Ring, you lead everyone on your way, I'm going back."
"Sado, you..."
She looked at Shado, whose forehead was covered with awakening runes, and rushed back to the oasis in an instant, lowering her outstretched hand.
"Sister Green Ring, what should we do?"
"Let's go, there's a rock nearby, we'll hide there and wait for them."
"......"
On the way back, Shado kept complaining while taking out a weapon made of scrap iron wrapped in animal hide from her waist.
"Idiot, moron, so what if you're exiled? Why do you have to want to die? We're doing just fine out there."
"And what about the glory of the tribe? The tribe has already abandoned it, yet you still think about such useless things!"
"You idiots are all like this!"
When she arrived at the oasis, she heard a loud fighting and rushed in. As soon as she got close, she was startled by the mechanical wreckage nearby.
In the distance, Lion was locked in combat with a mechanical giant tiger with the strength of a fifth-tier being. Although she was still a little short of breaking through to the fifth tier, Su Yuan was applying gravity to the mechanical tiger from the side.
Shado stared blankly at the lion standing on the giant tiger's head. At this moment, the resonance gem had been read and the original red light had turned blue.
The giant tiger stopped what it was doing and obediently lowered its body.
"This...how is this possible?"
All around were wreckage, and some corpses were intact but still flickering with sparks. There was no way two people could handle this number.
The figures that had rushed over from the vicinity disappeared one after another, and the oasis quickly fell silent again, with only Lion's slightly excited voice remaining.
"So cool!"
"Why are you back again?"
Su Yuan noticed that the figure who had left the oasis not long ago was running back again. He had kindly reminded them before, so it seemed that although this guy had a cold face, he was actually quite kind at heart.
"You...you did all of this?"
"Hey, we're planning to set up a camp here later. Are you interested in joining? Food and lodging included."
Based on his previous observations, he had determined that these people were likely vagrants, or perhaps a nomadic tribe without a stable place to live, just like he had been before.
It just so happens that the camp I built needs some locals.
So he came up to Shado, extended his hand, smiled at her, and extended his invitation.
