33: Chapter 33 Rescue

Several ferocious beasts surrounded a small figure; it was a Kelo person.

Waving her hand to let the beasts move aside, the Kelo person approached Zhao Feng.

"Is it you?" Zhao Feng said in surprise; this was indeed the little Kelo girl from that day.

Xiao Luo appeared just in time and began translating for the little girl.

Looking at the clean Xiao Luo, the little girl was stunned. Such clean skin, such fine animal fur, heavens!

Xiao Luo asked another question, and the little girl began to chatter away with her, seemingly having let down her guard.

Patiently waiting for the two to finish talking, Zhao Feng asked Xiao Luo, "What did she say?"

Actually, ever since Zhao Feng had created Xiao Luo, he could have mastered the Kelo language by using the System's Ability Borrowing.

But thinking that Xiao Luo was also a sentient life form, and not knowing if using the ability would have any negative effects, he had never used it.

"Master, she says she has come to ask for help. Her younger brother is about to be sent to the Wolf Tribe to be eaten, and she wants you to help her!"

Xiao Luo's eyes were filled with pleading, "Master, please help her!"

Such a simple-minded girl. Zhao Feng shook his head and said, "Ask her to give a brief introduction of their tribe and the Wolf Tribe."

While the two little girls were talking, Zhao Feng went to find the Shaman and Meng. One was a wise man, and the other was a military leader; the upcoming matters would require them.

Sitting on the sandy ground by the campfire, Zhao Feng said, "Xiao Luo, brief the Shaman and Meng on the situation."

"Alright, Master." Xiao Luo stood up and nodded.

"The Kelo People tribe is a small tribe of only twenty-something people, located in a cave south of the mountains. This tribe has very few warriors; judging by what the little girl said, there should only be three or five, while the rest are women. Their tribe is controlled by the Wolf Tribe. The Wolf Tribe provides water mushroom seeds, and after the Kelo People plant them, they hand over the majority of the harvest to the Wolf Tribe."

Xiao Luo paused and continued, "I heard the Wolf Tribe is a very large tribe. The little girl cannot describe exactly how many people they have, only that they are guys with wolf heads and human bodies, and their tribe is at the end of the river."

"The little girl means to ask us to help her save her younger brother; I heard those wolf-headed people have a penchant for eating people."

After saying this, Xiao Luo walked back to Zhao Feng's side and sat down.

"What is your opinion, Meng?" Zhao Feng first asked Meng, who was to the side.

Meng pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I don't think we should save them. Currently, we only have a dozen or so beasts here, plus the few of us; the odds of winning against a large tribe are too slim."

Xiao Luo became anxious and was about to stand up to interject, but Zhao Feng held her down and said, "What do you think, Shaman?"

The Shaman stroked his beard and said slowly, "I, however, do not think so."

"Shaman!" Meng stood up in a rush, "We are completely no match for them!"

"Don't be impatient, let me finish."

The Shaman smiled and said,

"Looking at the current situation, even if we don't go to save anyone, the Wolf Tribe will soon know of our existence; after all, the Kelo People tribe knows we exist."

"They will certainly take the news of us to trade for benefits, and by the way, lighten the tribe's burden. Also, don't forget that the Leader killed five warriors of the Kelo People tribe."

Zhao Feng pondered for a while and said,

"The Shaman is right; the Wolf Tribe cannot let us go. Looking at their methods, this tribe is not a kind lot."

"Of course, saving people is just incidental; if it is too dangerous, then forget it. Scouting the situation of the two tribes is the most important thing; this is our fundamental goal."

Zhao Feng continued.

After setting the goal, Zhao Feng scanned the three of them and said to Xiao Luo, "Xiao Luo, go tell her our decision to save people. By the way, find out their action time and route."

"Alright, Master, Xiao Luo will go right away." Xiao Luo stood up and hurried away.

Zhao Feng watched Xiao Luo leave before continuing,

"The situation on the Planet of the Dead seems more complex than we imagined; our previous development strategy needs some adjustments."

"Our ultimate goal is to change the Planet of the Dead into a life-bearing planet. Before achieving this goal, we must have sufficient military strength to protect ourselves. Therefore, in the future, we must place military and transformation on an equal footing."

"Next, I order," Zhao Feng raised his voice, and the two sat up straight.

"Shaman, construction will focus on military, and development will be carried out while ensuring military needs."

"Understood, Leader." The Shaman replied seriously.

"Meng, next the Shaman will increase the number of warriors; you need to train them well and then be responsible for daily defense, vigilance, and patrols."

"Yes, Leader!"

"Master, Liya told me that the Kelo People tribe is in a mountain gorge about a distance of one sunrise to midday from us. This morning, under the escort of Lady Luo Ha, they have already left the tribe. The Wolf Tribe is about three sunrises and sunsets away from them, and they will walk along the riverbank."

Just after the tasks were assigned, Xiao Luo hurried over and told everything she had learned from the little girl, Liya.

"Shaman, Meng and I will take away two Hammerhead Rhinos and two Leopard Dogs; I will leave this place to you, protect our home well."

Zhao Feng did not hesitate and immediately issued the order,

"I will have the Cloud-Soaring Sparrow come here once in the morning and once at midday. If something happens, just look at it and shout 'Cloud-Soaring Sparrow', and it will come down and bring you to see me."

"Rest assured, Leader, I will protect the tribe well." The Shaman said loudly.

"Meng, pack up the supplies, we are leaving immediately."

Riding on the back of the tall Hammerhead Rhino, the field of vision was very broad.

Thanks to the destruction by the animal legion, the area nearby was barren, with nothing but exposed land and sand and gravel.

Fortunately, the Planter had already planted trees on the purified land; perhaps in the near future, this place would look completely different.

The daylight was a bit brighter, likely because it was already noon. Whether it was an illusion or the credit of the Spirit Light Bacteria, the sky seemed a bit brighter than before.

There were no birds or insects in the sky; in the face of the great catastrophe, they had all become victims.

The earth was deathly silent, and everywhere there were withered Corpse Trees. The dark gray tone made one feel very heavy at heart, but this could not stop the enthusiasm of the two young girls.

Meng rode a Hammerhead Rhino in the lead, with a Leopard Dog running back and forth. While enjoying the rare time out, it was also vigilant of the surroundings; although the riverbank was very open, one could never be sure what might suddenly appear.

Liya, Xiao Luo, and Zhao Feng all rode on one Hammerhead Rhino.

The back of the Hammerhead Rhino was very large, more than enough for three people to sit.

The little girl Liya was a bit afraid at first, but under Xiao Luo's comfort, curiosity eventually overcame fear, and she was soon chatting and laughing on the back of the Hammerhead Rhino.

The skin of the Hammerhead Rhino was very rough, so Zhao Feng had the Farmer make cushions out of animal fur and tie them onto the back of the Hammerhead Rhino. Sitting on it now, there was not only no danger of falling off but it was also very comfortable.

Zhao Feng carried his blade aura on his back, his right hand dragging a wooden spear with a fire-hardened tip. While enjoying the rare comfort, he observed the surroundings through the System.

On the System map, the group and the tribe were both blue. Except for the location of the tribe which had completely turned into a visible map, there was only a thin line extending out, which was the path Zhao Feng and the others had just traveled.

Zhao Feng, with his eyes slightly narrowed, appeared very peaceful and was not worried about any danger in the surroundings.

Firstly, there was the Cloud-Soaring Sparrow in the sky, and secondly, the mini-map in his consciousness would display different markers like red dots, green dots, or white dots once it detected sentient beings within the visible range.

The group moved at a not-so-slow speed along the winding river under Liya's guidance. Finally, Zhao Feng's eyes suddenly opened wide; several light dots appeared on the map, a total of five, all of which were white, representing neutral.

Less than a second after Zhao Feng discovered them, Meng also suddenly stopped and gestured for Zhao Feng and the others to halt.

In the tall grass, there was no possibility of being discovered. They quickly jumped off the Hammerhead Rhino and pushed aside the withered grass in front of them to peek.

Below the small hill at the four people's feet, five people were walking: four adults and one child, all looking like Kelo People.

The child was bound by both hands, while the four adults carried a large leather bag and held large clubs, looking around vigilantly while quickly pulling the child forward.

All five of them were filthy, just like a group of beggars.

They wore tattered grass skirts and had matted, messy hair, making one not want to look at them for even a second.

The child seemed not to want to go, but one adult still patiently persuaded him, not resorting to fists or kicks, likely fearing something.

Their voices were not loud, and only Meng and Zhao Feng could hear them, but neither of them understood what they were saying.

Zhao Feng contacted the Cloud-Soaring Sparrow and knew there were no enemies in the distance, and there were no red dots of enemies on the map, so he did not hesitate and signaled for Meng and the others to ride the Hammerhead Rhino, charge down quickly, and block the path of the five.
