With the help of so many people, the pile of stones was quickly cleared away, and everyone was successfully rescued.
Upon seeing that Li and the others were still alive, these people excitedly emerged from their haggard state, embracing them and chatting animatedly.
Li Qing and Li decisively ended the scene. Their journey was far from over; there were still shamans, Cang, and women who needed them.
"Hang in there a little longer, you'll be alright soon," Li Qing said.
"Where are we now?" Carboxy asked.
Li Qing shook his head; he couldn't answer the question.
Just then, Big Black suddenly barked urgently in one direction.
"What happened?"
Li asked Li Qing nervously.
Li Qing was silent for half a second, then suddenly exclaimed with delight, "Da Hei said he smelled the scent of the Jie Wu. There are many other scents around that scent, so the Jie Wu and his group must be nearby. As long as we follow Da Hei, we'll definitely be able to find them!"
Li's eyes widened in disbelief. "So, the Jie Wu and the others are alright?"
"Very likely!"
Li Qing nodded.
"Let's hurry, Big Black, follow the scent, let's find the witch and the others first!"
Li Qing felt more exhilarated than ever before. He cursed again, "Damn it, God! You think you can cause trouble? Then let's see who can cause more trouble!"
The good news brought by Dahei excited the team, which had been somewhat gloomy. Even though everyone was covered in dirt and looked extremely disheveled, as if they had rolled in the mud, their faces were filled with joy.
They are so strong that in times of crisis, everyone looks out for each other and never gives up. As long as there is even the slightest glimmer of hope, the flame in their hearts will be rekindled.
Jiang Yun, along with many other severely injured people, was sent to the Great Black Back—Li Qing's attitude towards these people was originally one of no room for negotiation; they had to return to the lower realm immediately! But seeing how badly injured they were, yet with longing written all over their faces, Li Qing felt a pang of pity.
After such a huge accident, they all really wanted to see their tribe members.
Even if some of them are not in good health, those people are still their family members!
Li Qing could only think helplessly to himself: I should have thought of this sooner!
However, after thinking about it...
Li Qing still didn't want to disappoint them.
He then decided to take a great risk and have them accompany him on his journey.
Just as Li Qing had finished taking care of the wounded and was about to leave, he suddenly saw a sneaky figure slip past him.
"...Hutun, what are you doing?"
Li Qing said irritably.
This guy's cleverness backfired; it's much easier for him to follow me now than to run away alone.
"Wheat, didn't you say you wouldn't kill me?" Hutun asked in shock.
Li Qing's face was ashen. Seeing that Li was not by his side, he said, "I'm telling you this once, and for the last time. Listen carefully, if you dare to run away, as long as I'm still in the Red Flower Tribe, I will search every corner of the world to catch you!"
Hu Tun stamped his foot, his face pale, as if he were terrified: "Then what do you want me to do? You can't force me to my death!"
How could someone like him stay in the White Feather Tribe for so long?
If someone has such a fearless personality, how did they manage to rise to such a high position in the White Feather Tribe?
Li Qing was speechless. He simply put on a stern face and said to Hu Tun, "It's very simple. Come with us, just like Lie Yan and Atuna. From today onwards, don't even think about going back to the Baiyu Tribe. You are now a member of our Honghua Tribe."
"Red Flower Tribe!?"
“I don’t want to say too much,” Li Qing took a few steps forward, his back to Hu Tun, and said, “First, the White Feather Tribe no longer exists. Second, it will be much safer for you to come with us than to act alone. Lie Yan and Atuna know this much better than you do. You are a smart person and should know what is best for you.”
Hu Tun was clearly unable to accept Li Qing's seemingly "forceful" request. The White Feather Tribe, if not extremely powerful, was certainly stronger than the Red Flower Tribe. But now, Li Qing had decided his fate with just a few words, which made Hu Tun very uncomfortable. He looked at Lie Yan and the other two, trying to find some similar emotions in them—for example, that they were also very unwilling.
But Hu Tun was disappointed; the other person... didn't even look in his direction.
Although he had his back to Hutun, Li Qing was well aware of Hutun's little schemes. He took a few steps forward, calculated the time, and then said to Hutun, "I have high hopes for you, Hutun. As long as you are loyal and don't betray our tribe, I guarantee we will get along well and I won't harm you."
Yeah, right!
Hu Tun stared at Li Qing's retreating figure and cursed fiercely.
Given the relationship between their tribe and the Red Flower tribe, would Li Qing be willing to treat him like this?
That's absolutely ridiculous!
"Sigh, whatever, whatever!" Hu Tun could only console himself. "Anyway, there's nowhere else to go right now, so I'll just follow them for now and see what kind of tricks they have up their sleeves!"
---
I kept running after Big Black.
That place seems to be quite far away.
After running for a long time, when Dahei stopped, everyone was panting and exhausted.
Pan stood with his hands on his hips, looking around. It seemed safe, but extremely desolate and quiet. It didn't look like anyone had been there. He couldn't help but ask Li, "Li, what's this...?"
Li Ye could only look at Li Qing.
"What's going on, Big Black?"
Li Qing also found it strange and asked.
"..."
“That’s strange,” Li Qing said. “Dahei said that the scent stops here. The scent of the Jiewu people that it can smell is right here.”
"But this place clearly... doesn't look like there's anyone here."
Li, with his rich experience, said, "Look, most of the chaos here is caused by that natural disaster. If the Jiewu and the others were here, they would definitely have left footprints. Or if they had temporarily taken refuge here, they would have definitely cleared out a place for them to rest. But there is nothing here!"
Just as Li said, it was really too "clean" here.
All around were fallen, crisscrossing trees, and small stones that could easily pierce one's foot were scattered on the ground. There was also a very conspicuous, smoking crater that looked like it had been hit by a meteorite. None of this looked like anyone had ever been here.
Pan muttered, "That's strange. Dahei would never lie to us. Where did Jiewu and the others go? Could they have just disappeared?"
