“But we can allow a few people to take shelter from the rain in the caves here,” the Huang nsman pointed toward the caverns behind him.
‘Of course.’<div>
Their intent was clear; they weren’t seeking Gu Chaoyan’s permission but were already making ns to do so.
Gu Chaoyan’s eyes darkened, but she still nodded, returning with a cold expression.
The members of the Five Elements n also breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, she had returned unharmed. Initially, they had feared an attack from the Huang n, akin to those who had ventured over earlier.
“Tribe Chief, it’s fine if they’re unwilling. We’ll endure it, even if it’s difficult. After all, we old bones should have perished in the winter if not for Tribe Chief. Living this long is already a blessing,” consoled a few elders from the Five Elements n.
Though reluctant to face death, they hade to ept the inevitable.
“Don’t worry, they have agreed to let some people take refuge in the cave to escape the rain,” Gu Chaoyan forced a smile.
The elders were astonished. This was good news; how could the Tribe Chief not be happy?
After a while, members of the Huang n arrived, seizing a few elders and children to head towards the caves.
The issue was resolved just like that.
However, Gu Chaoyan couldn’t find it in her tough.
Adams approached, fumbling in the darkness. “Xui, why are you unhappy? At least, some matters have been resolved.”<div>
Gu Chaoyan shook her head subtly.
“We’ve resolved some issues, but the Huang n has gained more control over us,” she candidly revealed to Adams.
“What?” Adams momentarily struggled toprehend.
“The Huang n is well-prepared. Those caves are designated for the elderly and children, and every n has their vulnerable members inside. We might escape at a suitable time, but currently, they’re holding the elderly and children within 500 meters as hostages. What should we do?” Gu Chaoyan inquired.
In this uncivilized world,
True.
Rules of morality and justice were yet to be established.
However…
Their nsmen remained fiercely united.
Even if death was looming, abandoning their still living nsmen was not an option dictated by their unity.
“So, you’re saying they won’t release them even when the rain stops?” Adams sought rification.<div>
“Yes,” Gu Chaoyan affirmed with conviction.
A tinge of mncholy settled over Adams.
This mncholy lingered until the next day. With no rain, the elders and children of the n did not return, worsening the situation.
All of Xui’s predictions had proven true.
It was indeed the Huang n’s strategy.
“What should we do?” Adams inquired.
Adams had grown ustomed to seeking guidance from Xui in all matters.
Throughout their journey, Xui had been the decision-maker.
Gu Chaoyan prodded the sorcerer.
Then, she whispered in front of both of them, “Tonight, let’s go to the Huang n and see what’s happening. How about that?”
“You mean?”<div>
“Yes, can you do it?” Gu Chaoyan fixed her gaze on Adams. She wasn’t concerned about the sorcerer; she knew he would find a way.
“Sure,” Adams replied.
“Tonight then,” Gu Chaoyan decided.
For a day, they remained trapped in rtive peace.
As dusk approached, Gu Chaoyan began assessing the situation.
She was contemting how they could escape.
The most viable solution at the moment
was to eliminate the person guarding them in this corner and…
