"This is our last harvest of the day, Patriarch."

Throwing a large prey on his hand to the ground, a tribal warrior in a settlement deep in the grassland reported in a low voice, he nodded at the tent in front of him, which also looked a little strong, and the body that had been talking and talking casually finally began to retreat out of the door: "...... Winter has begun, and the tribes have begun to hoard food, and although this year's harvest is not good, we still have a lot of prey. ”

"It's not a good sign." Before leaving, he owed his body slightly, and the slowly revealing frown began to show his worry: "There aren't so many prey here in previous winters, and they're passing through our colony in droves, and they look like—"

"Don't say it, I know."

"—Yes."

Bowing down again and performing a tribal etiquette, the tribal warrior who reported finally closed his mouth, turned around and left the place, and then also carried the spear in his hand, shuttling through the noisy and crowded crowd outside the patriarch's tent: "...... Alas. ”

"What's the matter, Adamu, didn't you hunt a lot of prey today?" A sparse and respectful greeting rang in the warrior's ears, and a smile suddenly appeared in the middle of one of the clansmen and asked, "Why are you still so unhappy?" ”

"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that I feel a little ...... Saddened. Pouting his mouth, the tribal warrior known as Adam then waved his hand at the other as well: "Everything seems so abnormal these days, but we have nothing to do. ”

"There's nothing we can do about it." Another old man with his hands behind his back and leaning over his body then coughed and made his own voice: "Our Datar tribe is not a big tribe, we have no way to move forward, even if we see the possible danger, we can't take a step beyond the thunder pool. “

"Because it's the territory of the central tribe."

Frowning and looking at the distant grassland where the night was gradually falling, Adam used an indifferent voice as the final end of this brief exchange, and then he also lined up the crowd and walked towards the location of one of the tents in the corner of the tribal settlement: "Huh, can you only sleep today?" ”

"Hey, Adam, hey." A quiet call then sounded in his ears, and a young tribal boy with a tiger's head and a tiger brain also came out of the tent he was about to enter: "Adam, Adam, you have shown your might again today, haven't you?" ”

“…… Bub. ”

The corners of his mouth involuntarily turned upward, and Adam, who was carrying a spear, replied in a low voice to the boy who showed his head: "This is not the place you should come, hurry up and go back to rest." ”

"I don't want to, I want to hear your story!" Shaking his head like a rattle, the little boy pursed his mouth dissatisfiedly: "You killed so many ferocious beasts today!" You've got more stories to tell me! ”

"Adam's story will only be told to good and obedient children." Leaning over and kneeling on the ground with one hand, Adam gently stretched out his big hand stroking the other party's head: "Go to bed quickly, only children who sleep on time are good children, and when you wake up tomorrow, I'll tell you a story, okay?" ”

"I don't go to sleep." The boy shrunk his neck: "The sound at night is terrible, I, I, I can't sleep." ”

“…… Are they the beasts? A deep voice muttered, and Adam's furrowed brow eased again: "Don't worry about that, I and the other warriors of the clan will guard this settlement, and no wild beasts can break in." ”

"They're always messing around our settlement." The cowardly expression on the little boy's face still didn't disappear: "Those voices, the sound of howling, the sound of running, and the sound of biting......"

"Listen, it's close." As if he had suddenly discovered something, the little boy suddenly pointed to the back of the tent: "They, they are here, Adam, they-"

"Don't move yet."

Slowly standing up, a tribal warrior named Adam stepped forward to block the little boy behind him: "Go, hide in the tent." ”

“……”

Wordlessly, he raised his spear, his steps moving towards the darkness behind the settlement seemed incomparably slow and light, and the spear in his hand also converged its edge as he turned the tent, gradually merging with the breeze surging behind the tent: "-Drink! ”

Clang!

The piercing sound then echoed between a sudden burst of air, and the metal spikes and the claws of the beast claws then became particularly bright and obvious in the dazzling firelight, and Adamu, who raised this spear stab, then also landed his cold eyes on the body of the beast shadow that leaped away, followed by a heavy foot and then lifted a large canopy of grass clippings and dirt: "You beasts! How dare you sneak here! ”

"This is not a place for you to live!"

The shouts were accompanied by several straight lines drawn by the tips of the spears to form a bright star in the darkness, entangled with the Agile Beast Shadow that was also leaping in this starlight, and Adamu, who was holding the gun in both hands, then suddenly closed down in a violent wind dance, and shot a shot of gunfire from his hand to the position where the black shadow was about to fall into the distance: "Go to death!" ”

Cha!

Without any superfluous sound, a puff of blood flowers then dispersed around the far end of the darkness with the faint sight of the black shadow falling to the ground, and Adamu, who fell to the ground, then also exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, and slowly dragged back his right arm, which was in a straight line with the body of the gun: "...... Call. ”

"What an ominous sign." He shook his head, then looked in the direction of the tent he had been guarding behind him, "But it doesn't matter, it can't get up anymore." ”

"You can come out, little one." He cocked his gun and tried to comfort the frightened boy hiding in the tent, "You've done a great job this time, if you hadn't discovered its existence earlier-"

"And many more! Adam! The tent then rang out with the little boy's shout, and the interrupted voice made the gun-wielding tribal warrior suddenly amplify his vigilance: "And many more! Right in the depths of those steppes! ”

"-Damn."

Holding the spear tightly and turning his body, Adamu took two steps forward with a vigilant gaze to look around the figures of the beasts that appeared one by one in the distance, and those lurkers who exuded the same dangerous aura then began to reveal their scarlet eyes in the shrouded darkness in the distance, as well as the pair of fangs that had fought with the spear in Adam's hand: "So many saber-toothed beasts...... How dare they attack the village in droves? ”

"Be sure to raise the alarm." The tribal warrior reached out and touched a horn around his waist: "All the warriors of the tribe must be called—"

Boom!

The heavy sound of falling to the ground then appeared in the distance of the grassland where the saber-toothed beasts were located, accompanied by the screams of the beasts that scattered and jumped away, and for some reason the three or two figures that appeared there out of thin air then faintly crawled up in the surroundings of these beasts, and seemed to be still distinguishing the surrounding movements in this sudden accident: "Ouch yo yo...... That's why I said you guys have to get ready, so many cuties are waiting for us in this place......"

"Who made you teleport suddenly! Can't you wait for us to get ready before we start teleportation? And even at this time when you can't see your fingers! ”

"Time and place will not affect the teleportation accuracy of the teleportation rune, you see that our teleportation error has not become very large now, but I forgot that my right hand is still electrified, so I accidentally triggered the teleportation effect."

"So we have to thank you, huh? Thank you for activating the runes after we got back instead of leaving us in that place? ”

Bang!

The dancing blades appeared with a sharp aura behind the conversation, and the three figures surrounded by the beasts then used their respective attacks to bring a burst of bloody rain, and a violent explosion then occupied Adam's wide field of vision, along with the rise of the rolling fire, interrupting his gaze in place and his dull thoughts: "You, you-"

"Ah, are you from this settlement?" The voice of one of the men mixed in with the battle then rang in his ears, and then it was drowned out by another magical light unleashed by the gray-robed figure with another wave of his hand: "Sorry, the way we appeared here seems to be a little suspicious, but please believe that we have no ill intentions, we just-"

"We're just a bunch of adventurers who got here ahead of time."

In the scene where the two saber-toothed beasts were forced to retreat by the bite of the two saber-toothed beasts, the gray-robed magician in the center stretched out his arms in the direction where Adam was: "For the safety of your clan, I have come here to deliver a very important message. ”

"For the sake of us helping you deal with these night raiders, please trust us a little."

*******************************

"So these beasts were actually driven over?"

The fierce battle that broke out on the edge of this settlement unexpectedly attracted the attention of the entire Datar clan, and a large number of warriors and ordinary clansmen also gathered in this direction, and they gathered around to watch the corpses of those beasts that were cut to pieces by Duan Qing and the others, as well as the players who caused this great feat, and gradually understood the meaning of the news brought by these players: "A huge tide of beasts is approaching from the west? ”

"How is that possible? We've never heard of a beast tide attack on this scale, and these saber-toothed herds in front of us are already very rare for us......"

"But that explains why we've seen so many beast herds appear during this time, the guards and patrols have been working more recently, and the fighting has started to become more and more frequent—they must have been sent by the beast tide army over there!"

"It's also possible that they were driven by the beast tide army, but then-"

The patriarch replied.

A clansman who ran into the crowd then shouted out the news he had brought, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked around at the clansmen, and finally stopped at the three onlookers: "The patriarch wants to meet you." ”

"It seems that I want to ask in person." Nodding his head, Duan Qing then chuckled at the two people on the side, "Which of you wants to go over?" ”

"Of course, we passed together." Glancing at each other, the two women who seemed to have a tacit understanding raised their eyebrows at the same time: "No one wants to stay by his side!" Don't try to take advantage of anyone! ”

"Well, you two." Pressing his forehead and letting out a long breath, Duan Qing finally put away the thoughts he wanted to persuade: "Remember to mention our identity, we are here with a mission." ”

"So this ...... Uh, Your Excellency the Adventurer. ”

Seeing the two women with different temperaments but equally beautiful to their hearts shake their backs as they walked towards the depths of the settlement, Adam, who remained in place, then turned to the direction where Duan Qing was with some hesitation: "Are you ...... now Uh, would you like to go and rest in my tent? ”

"Take a break? Ah, of course. Looking at the gun-wielding tribal warrior with some surprise, Duan Qing, who was stunned, then returned the salute respectfully: "After all, I've been out for another busy day, and I'm a little tired, but——"

"Before I do that, I need to get in touch."

He made an apologetic gesture at the other party, and then took out a dim magic communication stone from his arms: "I didn't answer my phone just now, but now I should answer it...... Feed? Feed? ”

“……”

"Why, haven't gotten out of the restoration work yet?"

“……”

"I know, but if there is no emergency, I won't use this thing to contact you, do you know that a few of us almost died on the vast grassland just now?"

“……”

"No, we're out of danger now, but we've run farther away, where the planned second tribe is located...... We've run out of teleportation runes, and you see if there's anything you can do on there—"

“……”

"What?"

The conversation that only he could hear naturally attracted everyone's attention, but the gray-robed magician who covered his mouth and whispered next moment burst out with a fierce and obvious exclamation, as if he realized that he was overreacting, and then he also let out a dry laugh around him, and then resumed the ugly expression on his face covering the magic communication stone: "You, you ......"

"You're not going to take us back?"
