With the help of the strange bird, accompanied by gusts of wind, Li Qing returned to the underground world.
Below was an unfamiliar place. It seemed that the strange bird had listened to Li Qing and had not returned to the ancient tree, but had gone to another place.
The environment here is also very good, just like springtime, with lush green grass and a pleasant temperature, making it a perfect place for them to rest and recuperate.
Before he even landed, Li Qing saw a group of people below waving their hands at him.
There are Chu trees, rice flowers, and many people from the Black Wind Tribe.
Li Qing smiled back at them, waved, and greeted them.
Soon, the strange bird landed on the ground, and Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
It's finally over, and he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Having just disembarked from the strange bird and taken a few steps forward, Chu rushed up to him, smiling, and asked, "Where's that mammoth?"
Li Qing then gave a brief account of what had just happened, and said with a wicked grin, "I ditched him, haha, that beast is so stupid, how could he possibly catch up with me?"
Chu Shuanglang patted Li Qing on the back and praised, "Not bad, Mai Zi!"
They chatted with Li Qing all the way, and many members of the Black Wind Tribe followed behind them, expressing their gratitude one after another.
Without the Red Flower Tribe, they wouldn't have survived until now. Without Li Qing bringing them here when they were injured, they would have become mammoth food long ago. Even though these young people grew up in the Black Wind Tribe and absorbed the teachings of their elders from a young age, they didn't have a very good impression of the Red Flower Tribe. However, they were all grateful people. Chu saved them, so they listened to Chu very much. When Li Qing brought them here when they were about to collapse, he let them heal their wounds, so they respected Li Qing very much as well.
"Why are you being so polite with us? From now on, we're all from the same tribe. Since we're from the same tribe, there's no need to be so polite with us!"
Li Qing first smiled at them, then put on a serious face and said to them.
Hesitation and doubt did not appear on the faces of the Black Wind Tribe members this time.
Clearly, they had experienced so much along the way, and their thoughts were different from when they first arrived.
Li Qing's words did not dampen their enthusiasm; on the contrary, they fueled their emotions even more.
They all started calling out Li Qing's name and the Red Flower Tribe.
Chu glanced at them a few times, then pursed his lips and said, "Their attitude has changed quite quickly. They were so hesitant before, but now they all sincerely want to join our tribe. It's really interesting."
Li Qing shrugged, unconcerned, and said, "It's normal. People always change. Besides, we've helped them so much along the way, it's no wonder they're touched."
“You should all go and rest first. Some of you are seriously injured,” Li Qing turned to the Black Wind Tribe members on his left and right and said, “It’s alright, the disaster is over. Relax. You’ve come all this way, you probably don’t know how amazing this place is… Blazing Flame!”
Li Qing waved to the distant flames and pointed to the Black Wind Tribe members who had just joined their tribe, saying, "You take them to rest first. You've been here before anyway. Just answer any questions they may have."
Lieyan was leaning against a tree, deep in thought, when he heard Li Qing's instructions. He immediately straightened up and walked towards the group of people, saying, "I understand."
"This is troublesome."
Li Qing nodded to her, watched her go to work, then turned to Chu and asked, "So, isn't this place amazing?"
Li Qing remembered that Chu's injuries were quite severe, but by now, Chu's powerful recovery ability, combined with the wonders of this place, had almost completely erased the strange color from his body, and his wounds had mostly healed.
Chu made no attempt to hide his astonishment. He led Li Qing to the place where the main force, including Jie Wu and Yun, was resting, and pointed at them, saying, "It's truly amazing! I just asked Jie Wu, but he said he didn't know what was going on here either! What exactly is this place, and why does it have such miraculous effects?"
Li Qing smiled and shook his head, thinking to himself that it would have been better if he had known. Besides... there's more than just this one amazing place here.
Dian had been taking care of the tribe members. When he saw Li Qing and Chu coming over, he stood up to greet them. "Thanks to you this time, Mai Zi, you've done us a huge favor!"
"It's alright, Chief, don't be so polite with me."
Li Qing quickly waved his hand.
At this moment, those who had been resting in place saw Li Qing finally arrive and wanted to stand up, walk to Li Qing's side, and thank him in person.
Some of these people were seriously injured and had not fully recovered even after arriving here. Li Qing comforted them one by one, telling them to rest well and that they could keep their thanks to themselves. After some polite exchanges, these people reluctantly accepted Li Qing's words and lay back down on the ground to recover.
Only Dian, Chu, and Li Qing remained, circling around the area.
Dian smiled warmly, his hopeful gaze sweeping over the entire area, and exclaimed sincerely, "The environment here is so comfortable! I think this place can definitely be our tribe's new home!"
Chu clapped his hands and praised, "I think the chief's idea is excellent. Wheat, what do you think?"
Li Qing remained silent for a long time before bluntly interrupting their fantasy: "No."
"Why not?" Chu asked incredulously. "It's so safe here, the climate is so comfortable, and it also..."
Li Qing shook his head and said, "No means no. It's far more dangerous here than on the ground—and the scariest thing is that these dangers are all hidden below the waterline. You won't know how much more terrifying they are than those on the ground until you actually encounter them!"
“We must all leave here once everyone has recovered,” Li Qing said. “The rebuilding of the tribe can be done on the other side of the Liangmeng River. Don’t forget, that area was unaffected by the natural disaster.”
Neither of them understood what Li Qing was saying, but at least his serious tone gave them a general idea. Chu, quite puzzled, yelled, "Mai Zi, you're overthinking it. Look at you, you can't even explain what's dangerous here..."
"Listen to Mai Zi."
Diandao.
"?"
Chu thought he had misheard.
The chief was actually speaking up for Li Qing.
"Listen to Mai Zi."
Dian continued.
“Wheat has never lied to us, and many of his decisions have proven to be correct in hindsight,” Dian added to his decision, looking up at the sky—the strange bird had flown away after putting them down again. “Besides, I also feel that there’s a strange feeling here that makes me very uncomfortable, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.”
