CHAPTER 555: CHAPTER 540: GRAND LEADER 58 FOUR THOUSAND WORDS_3

This time, Shuangshuang did not go alone; instead, she brought her eldest uncle Jian, her second uncle Shen, and five warriors including Da Shi with her.

In fact, the people of the Yanhuang Tribe had planned to go together, but Shuangshuang worried that taking too many people might provoke hostility from the other side, so she declined.

The man from the Cannibal Tribe indeed accepted Shuangshuang’s proposal to trade with salt and was even quite pleased, hinting that if Shuangshuang traded everything with salt, he could give her a discount.

To this, Shuangshuang firmly stated that she had no more salt, that this was all she had, and the Cannibal Clan man could only regretfully relent.

The trade was successfully completed, and Shuangshuang directly took away a group of people tied with ropes, their faces ashen, truly like a bunch of living meat!

Because Shuangshuang had bought all the living meat they brought, the man from the Cannibal Tribe then called his men and prepared to leave the Mutual Market. Although the Cannibal Tribe was fearfully powerful, it was undeniable that their reputation was so bad that no one wanted to have any dealings with them.

Even the caves where the Cannibal Tribe resided were specifically opened by the Super Tribe, which shows that the Super Tribe running the Mutual Market had tacitly agreed that the Cannibal Tribe couldn’t be placed together with everyone else, or else big trouble would surely occur!

Because every tribe had suffered from the Cannibal Clan, even very strong Great Tribes, although the small tribe Cannibal Clan dare not provoke them openly, incidents of loners being captured and eaten by the Cannibal Clan still often occurred.

It can be said that the Cannibal Tribe, notorious and universally detested, was like an unkillable cockroach, with no one liking them, so Shuangshuang felt confident in taking the rescued people back to the Yanhuang Tribe’s cave, without fear of being noticed by the Cannibal Tribe.

When Shuangshuang returned, the people of the Yanhuang Tribe were already waiting in the cave. Although sweet potato chips sold well, everyone was concerned about Shuangshuang’s mission to rescue people and couldn’t sit still, making the waiting unbearable. In the end, Yu directly ordered the stall to be closed and everyone returned to the cave to wait for Shuangshuang.

After returning to the cave, Shuangshuang untied the ropes from everyone’s bodies. The reason she hadn’t untied them before was that she feared these terrified and numb people might get lost or run off on their own.

Now, as Shuangshuang untied the ropes from these people, surrounded by the Yanhuang Tribe, they couldn’t run away and could only huddle anxiously in a corner, just like when they were still in the cage, which was truly heart-wrenching.

Shuangshuang had a pot of meat soup cooked, adding salt, and then distributed it to these people. Initially, they couldn’t believe the meat soup was for them; it was only after confirming multiple times that it was indeed theirs to eat, did they suddenly rush forward, gobbling it down like ravenous wolves.

After they had a hearty meal, Shuangshuang spoke to these emotionally appeased individuals, proposing that they join the Yanhuang Tribe.

Nobody opposed the idea. Just as Shuangshuang had thought before, she had saved their lives. They had originally thought they would only live a few more days and still end up being eaten, but unexpectedly, not only did they have a full meal, but the one who saved them also offered to take them in. It was truly such a lucky turn of events.

Ensured that Shuangshuang genuinely intended to take them in, they first embraced and cheered, then with a thud, they knelt before Shuangshuang, kowtowing to thank her, startling Shuangshuang, who hurriedly helped them up in a fluster.

But once they were helped up, they burst into tears again, having truly endured too much hardship recently. The daily agony between life and death, and the pressure of not knowing when they would be slaughtered, had made them despair. Now, confirmed to be rescued, they couldn’t control their emotional outburst.

Shuangshuang and the people of the Yanhuang Tribe just watched as this group of grown men wept with snot and tears, not saying anything. Though they hadn’t experienced such despair themselves, the thought of being trapped in a cage waiting to die was enough to make anyone feel hopeless.

These people had been captured by the Cannibal Clan for quite some time. The Cannibal Clan merely ensured they didn’t starve to death and never allowed them to eat their fill, so their bodies were somewhat depleted, making them unable to endure long journeys.

Faced with this situation, Shuangshuang decided to stay at the Mutual Market for an extra couple of days, allowing these people to eat well for a few days to regain their strength. After all, people in this world have excellent physiques, and a few hearty meals would improve their condition.
