CHAPTER 602: CHAPTER 575: CHIEF LEADER 93

Below the cave, there are mostly stones, which makes it difficult for the cave-dwelling tribe to dig tunnels. It’s unlike the area where the Crocodile Tribe resides, where it’s all soil beneath their feet, making it perfect for digging tunnels.

Chacha, while excitedly waving her little hands in Yan Shuangshuang’s arms, said, "Sister, look, that’s our tribe over there! Sister, the people in our tribe are really nice; you’ll definitely like them!"

Yan Shuangshuang smiled, cautiously advancing while holding Chacha. As a Level 4 warrior, approaching a Great Tribe recklessly would provoke hostility, because the threat from a Level 4 warrior is as formidable as that of a top-level Fierce Beast, arousing vigilance no matter which tribe she goes to.

Hence, Yan Shuangshuang walked slowly, deliberately placing herself in a conspicuous spot to ensure the Crocodile Tribe’s patrol guards could spot her as quickly as possible.

This approach was to show friendliness, indicating she had no hostile intentions. In this world, warriors often roam and inadvertently trespassing on another tribe’s territory is a common occurrence.

Once a wandering warrior enters another tribe’s territory, they must make themselves visible and indicate they have no hostile intentions to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

After establishing this, a roaming warrior can choose to withdraw immediately, then the tribe will act as if they haven’t seen them.

If the wandering warrior feels tired and wishes to rest for a couple of days at the next tribe, they can approach in a conspicuous manner and stop nearby, awaiting the tribe to initiate contact.

Of course, according to customs, a wandering warrior taking respite at another tribe is obliged to join the tribe’s Hunting Team during their stay, aiding in hunting as accommodation payment. The Warrior Power of these roaming warriors is typically strong, enhancing their hunting prowess.

Thus, every tribe welcomes wandering warriors’ stay. For Great Tribes, they don’t lack the skill to hunt, only the means to locate prey.

Soon enough, Yan Shuangshuang was intercepted by a few Crocodile Tribe warriors who leaped from their hidden post on a large tree. Among them, a man noticed Chacha in Yan Shuangshuang’s arms, his expression changing as he stepped forward in surprise and exclaimed, "Chacha!"

Chacha excitedly waved her hand and shouted to the man, "Uncle Tu, I’m back! This pretty lady saved me."

Yan Shuangshuang released Chacha as she waved, placing her on the ground. Chacha then ran hurriedly to the man approaching swiftly and leapt into his arms, clinging to his neck eagerly while chattering nonstop.

Without needing the man, identified as Tu, to ask further, Chacha recounted all her experiences from the day.

She described how she cleverly escaped the warriors of the Cave-dwelling Cannibal Tribe by jumping into the river, the accidental drowning, and her rescue by Yan Shuangshuang, including enjoying some delicious roasted meat.

It was evident that Chacha’s excitement almost made her recount every little detail, showing the strong bond between her and the man.

After a brief, animated reunion between the two, the man carried Chacha toward Yan Shuangshuang with immense gratitude on his face, saying, "I really appreciate the young lady rescuing Chacha and taking care of her for this long. It’s certainly troublesome for you. I assume you’re a wandering warrior. Why not stay with us in the Crocodile Tribe for a few days, and allow us to show our gratitude?"

Though Yan Shuangshuang wasn’t exhausted, visiting different tribes is an experience in itself. Besides, she hadn’t resided in a house for a long time and was tempted by the stone houses here.

"It was merely a small effort, no need to be so polite, and Chacha is adorable and sensible, not troublesome at all." Yan Shuangshuang remarked politely.

"Your small effort saved Chacha’s life, a life-saving grace I, Tu, will never forget." Tu remarked seriously.

After exchanging a few courteous acknowledgments, Tu led Yan Shuangshuang into the Crocodile Tribe. The other sentinels, after greeting Chacha and thanking Yan Shuangshuang, resumed their surveillance posts in the trees.

One of the guards was dispatched by Tu to report to the Crocodile Tribe’s leader that Chacha had returned. Yan Shuangshuang only then realized that Chacha is the younger brother of the Crocodile Tribe’s leader, Cang Yun.

After walking a few steps with Tu, before entering the Crocodile Tribe, Yan Shuangshuang saw a young man, with a bold and handsome appearance, wearing a beast skin skirt around his lower body, half-naked with long, strong legs, his physique akin to a Greek statue, striding over!

Upon seeing this man, Yan Shuangshuang’s first instinct was perceiving not his handsomeness, but the overwhelming air of danger!

Yan Shuangshuang sensed the powerful surge of Warrior Power within the man, a very formidable force. She estimated his combat strength was likely on par with hers, and it seemed he was on the brink of advancing to a Level 4 warrior.

An intense battle fervor suddenly raged from within Yan Shuangshuang, causing her blood to boil and her mind to burst with exhilaration!

Yan Shuangshuang felt that engaging in an exhilarating battle against this man could potentially help her break through the Level 4 warrior barrier.

However, this man evidently had no intent on battling; all his attention was focused on Chacha, held in Tu’s arms, in front of Yan Shuangshuang.

Yan Shuangshuang suppressed the boiling excitement of battle fervor in her heart, shifting her gaze to examine the other man accompanying him.

This man wore a black snake-patterned outfit, exuding an aura of gentleness intertwined with solemnity, accented by a scholarly demeanor.

The man appeared exceptionally young, yet his aura did not convey youthfulness. Without needing further confirmation, in a world that values brawn, someone possessing a scholarly disposition, Yan Shuangshuang was certain the man was the Great Witch of the Crocodile Tribe.

Having precedence over the Great Witch in walking, it became glaringly apparent that the man who stirred Yan Shuangshuang’s battle fervor was indeed Chacha’s older brother, the Crocodile Tribe’s leader, Cang Yun.

Indeed, Chacha upon seeing the man, excitedly dashed over and shouted "Brother!"

With his attention entirely on his younger brother, Cang Yun carried a look of excitement on his face, reaching out and taking Chacha from Tu. His face exhibited exhilaration as he gazed at Chacha; his eyes were even slightly red. After a moment, he finally said, "It’s good that you’re back safe!"

Chacha clung to Cang Yun’s neck, excitedly calling "Brother, brother!" repeatedly. After the initial excitement, Chacha suddenly began crying, having endured the terror of life and death, the fear naturally felt overwhelming for a child of eight or nine years. Now, upon seeing his loved one, it all burst forth suddenly.
