Chapter 182 Are you willing to come back to the tribe with me?

Li frowned and stood halfway in front of Ling Yu.

They were adopting a defensive posture.

Ling Yu looked at the scene before her with a puzzled expression.

She did save them, but the way they all called her a goddess was a bit of an exaggeration.

Soon, the elderly female raised her head, her face weathered and tear-streaked, her clothes stained with blood, and earnestly said:
“You must be a deity descended to protect my Qi tribe.”

"Thank you, God."

“If it weren’t for you coming, all of us would have been slaughtered.”

Ling Yu felt a little sorry for her; this female looked to be over eighty years old, kneeling in front of her, and she couldn't bear to accept it.

He quickly stepped forward, helped the female up, and said gently:
"Stop kneeling before me, everyone stop kneeling."

“Old man, we are from the Yu tribe in the east. We were just passing by when we offered our help.”

"Why is this the Yan tribe you speak of?"

She also wanted to find out about the so-called most powerful tribe.

After all, if they want to survive and thrive on this continent in the long term, they will inevitably have dealings with the Yan tribe.

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

The female was helped to her feet, her cloudy eyes brimming with tears, and she choked out, "The Yan tribe often plunders the resources of small tribes like ours—animal meat, animal hides, animal bones, they want them all."

“Every now and then, people from the Yan tribe would come to collect the money. If you couldn’t pay, you would be robbed and forced to do odd jobs.”

"In order to hand over these, we are facing a severe food shortage. We can barely keep our tribesmen fed."

"A while ago, our tribe's chieftain died in a hunt, and several males were also killed or wounded. We failed to get any meat and lost the ability to hunt again."

"The Yan tribe has arrived early again this time."

"In order to protect the only food they had, they eventually fought with them, but the people of the Yan tribe were all strong and powerful..."

By the end of the sentence, I was crying.

Her dearest tribesmen died one by one there, turning her once-thriving tribe into a river of blood.

Even the Yan tribe was dealt with.

But the lives of the dead clansmen could not be brought back.

As Ling Yu listened to their tragic experiences and heard their sorrowful cries, she felt a heavy weight in her heart.

She hadn't expected the Yan tribe to be the most powerful tribe.

They are so arrogant and domineering.

Because of their power, they disregard the surrounding small tribes and can easily overthrow a tribe and destroy everything they own.

I remembered the system's task.

She hesitated for a few seconds, then asked in a low voice, "What are everyone's plans next?"

The elderly woman looked at her surviving tribesmen with tears in her eyes.

Each of them was filled with despair, severely injured, and terrified, surrounded by their closest relatives and clansmen.

The entire tribe's food was wasted by those beasts from the Yan tribe.

The air was thick with the stench of blood.

Before long, they will attract wild animals from the surrounding area. Even if they manage to bury the corpses and cover up the smell of blood, it will be difficult for the old, weak, and disabled to survive for long.

Most importantly, the people of the Yan tribe will surely find their way here.

Death awaited them.

"My God, please, please protect us."

“These are the only children left in our tribe. They cannot die. Please take them in and let them into your tribe.”

She sobbed, completely helpless.

Clinging to this last hope, he pleaded, "These children won't eat much. Once they recover, they will do everything in their power to repay you."

"Please."

The elderly female looked anxiously at the other members of her tribe, "Come quickly, beg the gods to take us in."

"Grandma..."

The tribesmen cried out, then looked at Ling Yu, knelt on the ground again, and sobbed, "Please, God, take us in."

"Please, God, take me in."

They knew this was their only hope.

Although, the possibility is slim.

After all, no one dares to offend the Yan Tribe on this continent unless they leave. But with everyone severely injured, where can they escape to?
Ling Yu thought to herself, "This saves me the trouble of inviting them." Putting the mission aside, her tribe is currently in dire need of manpower and has a lot of things to do. Especially with the Kang tribe providing basic materials, everyone's efficiency has increased, and they want to do even more.

"Get up, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, the elderly woman suddenly coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.

A frail young female screamed in fright and rushed over, crying out, "Grandma! Waaah... Grandma..."

"Don't die...Grandma..."

The people of the tribe also burst into tears.

Ling Yu hadn't expected this. She hurriedly tried to heal the woman, but her wrist was tightly gripped by the elderly woman, who pleaded tearfully:

"Please God, save these children..."

"Please, please..."

"I promise! I promise you."

Ling Yu had this plan all along, fearing that she might die, and wanted to use her supernatural abilities to transfer some energy to her.

These are the supernatural abilities that were recently discovered.

But the female was too old and overwhelmed with grief, and she died before she could use her powers.

"Grandma..."

In an instant, these surviving tribesmen cried out in anguish.

Everyone had already cried their hearts out, and now it's as if their last pillar of support has been lost, leaving them in despair and weeping uncontrollably.

Ling Yu felt heavy-hearted, never expecting things to turn out this way.

As everyone gradually lost their strength from crying.

She then asked, "Would you like to come back to the Yu tribe with me?"

Those people just stared at her with tears in their eyes; some had a glimmer of hope in their eyes, while others were filled with utter despair and death.

Everyone remained silent.

"Yes, I do."

The young female, holding the elderly female's body, spoke first, her voice choked with sobs.

Then, several more clansmen responded in succession.

"Grandma told us to follow this benefactor, and the benefactor, out of great compassion, agreed. We must follow Grandma's last wish."

The young female spoke to everyone with tears in her eyes.

The others lowered their heads in pain and said weakly, "We are seriously injured, and we probably won't live much longer..."

"Other tribes don't need useless people like us."

The young female fell silent for a moment.

Ling Yu and Li exchanged a glance. Li understood, scanned the entire room, and said in a deep voice, "The Yu tribe has a shaman who can treat you."

"This is the chief of the Yu tribe. Yu, you don't need to worry about the promise being invalid."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts were immediately filled with a glimmer of hope.

It turned out that the beautiful female in front of them was the leader of the Yu tribe. No wonder she dared to promise to accept them on behalf of the tribe.

Seeing that they had no concerns, Ling Yu said to Li, "Li, fly back to the tribe and tell Xuan and the others to come and pick everyone up. Come over as soon as possible."

"I'll stay here and wait for you."

Li nodded in agreement; with her current abilities, she was capable of protecting herself.

With so many injured people, it would be nearly impossible for them to walk to their tribe, a distance that is not short.

"I'll go now, you take care of yourself."

He solemnly instructed.

Ling Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry."

Soon, Li transformed into an eagle and flew away, leaving the place.

Silence fell over the spot.

Ling Yu stood up, looked at the survivors, and counted them; there should be about forty people.

At this point, the system issues a reminder:
[Congratulations, host, on successfully completing the side quest! Rewards: Map markers for saltpeter, sulfur, etc., 99 cotton seeds, 99 apple seeds, 99 potato seeds...]

[Ding! System transaction search function successfully activated!]
