There will be casualties if there is a riot!
Thinking of how cute the baby monkey was and how kind its mother was, Hua Ansu felt very reluctant to part with it.
Ayigu shook his head firmly, "I will not let them be in danger."
Hua Ansu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
After seeing Hua Ansu off, A Yigu returned to the small house inside the barrier, which was his secret base. The house had two rooms: one was a neat laboratory, and the other was a messy storage room filled with items he had collected over the years.
After hesitating for a while, he took out the necklace that had been lying around for many years and stroked it with his fingertips. The necklace was very simple in design, with a silver chain and a pendant. It was clearly quite old.
He opened his mouth and said, "Living is more important than anything else."
The interstellar storm, a once-in-a-century event in the Lolo interstellar region, lasted for a full three hours before gradually subsiding. Outside the tribe, all that could be seen was a desolate expanse of yellow sand.
The only saving grace was that the protective shield remained completely undamaged, and the tribe was safe and sound, but only temporarily.
After clearing out the remaining grain, the tribe held an emergency meeting overnight.
"Our food supply will only last for three months. Even if we plant now, it will take at least five months to harvest!"
"What should we do? We barely manage to survive each year by saving every grain of food, and now... sigh..."
"Does this mean we have no choice but to cross Moon Lake to capture the ferocious beasts?!"
"Cross Moon Lake?! Are you crazy? Everyone knows the beasts of the Demon Forest eat people, and you want to eat them? You're lucky if you don't get eaten by them!"
"What should we do? We can't just sit here and wait to die!"
"Minister, you need to give us an explanation!"
Minister Dorenda reached out, and the arguing stopped. He pondered for a moment and said, "Starting today, we will assemble an elite team to enter the Demon Forest. Firstly, to investigate the situation in the Demon Forest, and secondly, to find the whereabouts of Hua Ansu and A Yigu."
"Form another team to explore the desert."
No one objected, because it was the only way.
Babu was the most supportive of this move. "The minister is wise! We can't live in this wilderness forever!"
The elite squad of the forest consisted of twenty-one people, with Babu as the captain. Each of them was equipped with armor, weapons, and rations, which was the best protection the tribe could provide them.
Unfortunately, the team encountered Hua Ansu, who was returning, not long after they set off.
"Miss Hua?"
Babu exclaimed with delight, "Thank goodness, you're alright!"
Hua Ansu glanced at their attire and wondered, "Are they going into the Demon Forest?"
Babu nodded. "That's right, you're from..."
"I just came out of the forest."
Hua Ansu shook her head. "Now is not a good time to go in. Let's go back first. I have something to discuss with my grandfather, the minister."
Babu thought of A-I-Gu, "Have you found A-I-Gu?"
She nodded, without saying anything more.
After hesitating for a long time, Babu still led the team back with Hua Ansu. The fact that she was able to come out of the Demon Forest alive was already the biggest news.
Hua Ansu's safe return caused a sensation throughout the entire tribe; it was truly legendary!
At Minister Dorenda's home.
Hua Ansu was greeted with snacks made by the minister's mother-in-law. "Ansu, little girl, sit down and have something to eat. You must be starving after all this time."
Hua Ansu shook her head, "Grandma, I'm sorry to have worried you."
"It's alright, it's good that you're back."
He urged her to eat, "Have some?"
"Um."
After tasting it, she praised it, saying, "Delicious."
The minister's wife pushed the plate a little closer to her, saying, "If you like it, have some more."
