After Yunxi finished speaking, she grasped the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella and leaped down from the giant tree. After landing lightly, she went straight to the place where Stone Hammer Man and the others had set up a trap.

The man with the stone hammer and his companions were gathered together, discussing their next move. The trap had failed, and he was considering whether they needed to set it up in a different location when he heard a sharp bird cry. He turned sharply and looked into the depths of the forest.

The others also looked warily in the same direction, and then a familiar figure appeared in the man with the stone hammer's line of sight.

Yunxi maintained her male disguise, changing her robes into the black one with dark gold patterns. She also changed the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella to black, and deliberately stepped on the broken branches with her matching black boots to make noise and attract the attention of the man with the stone hammer.

The man with the stone hammer relaxed a little when he saw that it was Yun Xi, but he remained vigilant, gripping the stone hammer tightly and staring straight at Yun Xi.

Yunxi stopped five steps away from these people, pointed to the little red fox in one of the men's arms, then waved her sleeve to place some of the beast meat she had harvested the night before on the ground. She then pointed to the little red fox again, indicating that she wanted to make an exchange.

The man with the stone hammer's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected things to turn out exactly as Azu had predicted. He tentatively took a step forward, carefully examined the fresh meat on the ground, and felt his mouth water. However, he still put the stone hammer on the ground and then drew a larger circle on the meat.

Yunxi narrowed her eyes. She understood what the other party meant. This guy was bargaining with her, wanting more beast meat. Her expression remained unchanged, and she added the meat of a rhinoceros beast, indicating that this was all she wanted.

The man with the solid hammer was satisfied with the result, but he still drew an even bigger circle and wanted to increase the stakes.

This time, Yunxi refused to listen to the other party. She swept the meat off the ground with her sleeve, turned around and left. She was very fast, and in the instant she turned around, she was already ten meters away, giving the other party almost no chance to react.

Yunxi was actually very familiar with and understood the tactic of raising prices on the spot and then negotiating on the spot. However, if the other party wanted to make an exorbitant demand, it had to be based on the premise that she absolutely had to buy this item. Helping this demon cultivator was not something she was obligated to do; she was just doing it as a side effect, with the aim of getting some information from the other party.

So when the man with solid evidence kept raising the stakes, she decisively gave up.

The man with the stone hammer shouted behind Yunxi, seemingly trying to salvage something, but she didn't even turn her head. Just then, a figure swept in front of her, blocking her way.

Yunxi glanced around and immediately recognized that this was the man with the stone hammer as his companion. However, it was clear that this man had an advantage in speed, as he was able to block her way. When the man blocked her path earlier, she saw a streak of light flash from his legs.

Yunxi stopped and looked at the dark-skinned man in front of her, wondering what he wanted to do.

Under Yun Xi's cold gaze, the man swallowed hard, then said in an awkward tone:
"Auntie said she'd like you to come visit!"

This time, Yunxi understood what the other person was saying. The man was actually speaking the common language of the cultivation world. She was certain that cultivators had been here before, and perhaps these people were descendants of cultivators.

However, these people have been sealed here for thousands of years and cannot get out, so their development must not be very good, otherwise they would not have fallen to this state.

However, what she needed to do now was to figure out the rules here, so this time she smiled slightly and readily nodded in agreement.

The man seemed surprised that Yunxi agreed so readily, but he immediately pointed in the direction they had come from, signaling her to follow. Yunxi nodded and followed behind the man.

A moment later, the two groups reunited. The man with the stone hammer seemed still regretful. Seeing the two return, he grabbed the returning man and rattled off a string of words, seemingly trying to get him to talk to Yunxi. Yunxi guessed he wanted to trade the little red fox for her meat, but this time she didn't bring it up. She still looked like she didn't understand and simply followed the group back. The man with the stone hammer was still somewhat persistent and deliberately came to Yunxi's side, speaking in a language only he could understand, trying to make a deal with her. But this time, Yunxi just smiled faintly and didn't respond. She knew very well that forcing a deal wasn't going to work.

An hour later, these people returned to the tribe at the foot of the cliff. Yunxi noticed that they had deliberately taken a detour, probably to disrupt her memory. However, she didn't say anything and followed them smoothly into the primitive tribe.

The man with the stone hammer returned earlier than usual, attracting the attention of others in the tribe. Some even started asking questions loudly, but only received a few simple replies. Then Yunxi was invited to the front of the two-story stone house.

The white-haired old woman, gripping her cane, lifted the animal-skin curtain and, seeing Yunxi, showed no surprise. She spoke:

"Welcome, guest from afar, to our tribe! Please come in!"

The other woman spoke much more fluently than the previous man, and at least Yunxi didn't find it as strange. She nodded and followed the old woman into the stone house.

This time, the animal-skin curtain was not drawn, and the light from outside allowed Yunxi to see the small stone house very clearly. The man she had saved yesterday was lying on a stone bed, and his breathing had stabilized, but he had not yet woken up.

The old woman gestured for Yunxi to sit down before speaking:

"Thank you, guest from afar, for saving our tribe yesterday."

Yunxi sat on a smooth stone bench and replied politely:
"Having received payment, I will naturally do my best to rescue the person."

The old woman's wrinkled face was expressionless as she continued:

"Outsider, if you can guarantee the survival of our tribe, I will tell you how to leave this place."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi's lips curled slightly. She preferred communicating with people who got straight to the point, so she asked:

"How can I be sure you're telling the truth? Are you pointing me to a way out and not a dead end?"

The old woman had clearly not been questioned in a long time; she paused in stroking her cane, then spoke:

"This is an independent space. Our ancestors designated an area for us to continue in order to ensure our survival. However, as time goes by, the safe territory designated by our ancestors has shrunk little by little due to the invasion of giant beasts. Our living space has been compressed again and again. Some of our people have died or been injured, and many things have been lost."

However, every now and then, outsiders like you will enter this place. Some of them are kind-hearted and will exchange things with us, but some are too greedy and want to take everything we have for themselves, and in the end they don't even have the chance to leave the secret realm.

The tribe survived by trading with outsiders, but too much time has passed since the last outsiders arrived. The tribe now has fewer than a hundred members and is on the verge of extinction.

I have lived long enough; death is a good thing for me. But before I die, I must find a way out for my people.
