CHAPTER 568: CHAPTER 545: GRAND LEADER 63

Determined that Yan Shuangshuang was from a Great Tribe and still so young yet already destined for great things, on the verge of breaking through to become a Second-level Warrior, this strong man decided to befriend Yan Shuangshuang, who had just helped him.

It’s not that this strong man was only concerned with status; even if Yan Shuangshuang weren’t from a Great Tribe, he would still be grateful to her. However, forming good relations with someone from a Great Tribe would be greatly beneficial to the tribe this man belonged to.

This man’s tribe was in a special situation: strong but fragile. Therefore, befriending a Great Tribe would be advantageous for them.

So, the strong man showed Yan Shuangshuang a very sincere smile, expressing friendship and gratitude first: "Young lady, we are truly grateful for your help. Without which, we wouldn’t have been able to kill that Fierce Beast! Without your assistance, I don’t know how many people from our tribe would have died. Thus, you are indeed our benefactor! If you don’t mind, could you visit our tribe as a guest for a few days? Let us host you properly for a few days to express our gratitude."

The strong man’s intention was simple. On one hand, he was genuinely grateful to Yan Shuangshuang and wanted to host her well as their benefactor; on the other hand, he wanted to win her favor, hoping she would develop a liking for their tribe.

Yan Shuangshuang also smiled modestly at the man, "You are too kind. Your tribe’s warriors are very strong. I believe you would have killed the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast even without my help. Calling me a benefactor is too much, I don’t deserve it."

Although Yan Shuangshuang spoke humbly, she wasn’t just being modest. The reason the warriors were previously worn out by the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast, evading it everywhere, was mainly because they didn’t want casualties, continually avoiding and driving the beast away.

If that Sky Wolf Fierce Beast had truly killed the warrior Yan Shuangshuang saved earlier, the warriors surely wouldn’t have endured it any longer. They would have fought the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast to death.

The warriors’ strength is indeed formidable, and when combined, even more powerful. Therefore, if these warriors were forced to fight to the death, they would certainly kill that Sky Wolf Fierce Beast.

Nonetheless, if they were to battle to the death, many of them would inevitably die. So Yan Shuangshuang’s claim of being too modest about being their benefactor is true; she was indeed the lifesaver of a portion of these warriors.

Thus, this strong man’s gratitude towards Yan Shuangshuang, calling her their lifesaving benefactor, was heartfelt. Her long spear throws certainly assisted them greatly, saving many lives.

However, Yan Shuangshuang’s words were pleasant and made the listener joyful. The strong man couldn’t help but laugh heartily, "Although we could kill that beast, without your help, even if we did kill the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast, who knows how many would die? Nothing is more important than the lives of our tribe’s brave men. Calling you our benefactor, you absolutely deserve it."

Seeing Yan Shuangshuang trying to be humble, the strong man continued before she could speak: "Alright, let’s not be so polite. You should follow us to our tribe, so we can host you properly and express our gratitude for your lifesaving kindness. Just right, the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast’s meat is delicious, and hard to come by normally; it would be perfect to treat you."

"In that case, I gladly accept." Yan Shuangshuang saw that the strong man sincerely wanted to invite her to their tribe as a guest, so she didn’t refuse and agreed readily.

The character of primitives in this world is somewhat similar to that of Chinese minorities; they invite sincerely, and even gifts are given sincerely. If you refuse, it might be seen as looking down on them, displeasing the inviting party.

Moreover, visiting another tribe is a great opportunity to broaden one’s horizons and experience different cultures and customs, a chance Yan Shuangshuang certainly didn’t want to miss.

A group of warriors carried the massive corpse of the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast behind, while Yan Shuangshuang and the strong man walked and talked ahead of the group.

The man introduced himself as Sang Nan, and their tribe was a Traveler Tribe. When mentioning his tribe as a Traveler Tribe, Sang Nan subtly observed Yan Shuangshuang’s expression, to see her reaction to the Traveler Tribe.

Sang Nan acted this way because the Traveler Tribe is very unique, rejected by all other tribes, and it has no name.

Furthermore, the Traveler Tribe does not have a Witch, so it’s not recognized by those from Great or Super Tribes as a real tribe. The Traveler Tribe is not weak, yet many weaker tribes dare to mock it simply because it lacks a Witch and a name.

This world is dangerous, and human life within it is especially perilous. The existence of any tribe is highly unstable; a natural disaster, a beast attack, insufficient food reserves in the cold or hot season, or hunting by Cannibal Tribes can all cause instant destruction.

This season has too many reasons that could lead to a tribe’s immediate extinction, which includes some Great Tribes. For example, the Power Tribe, although not extinct, was almost reduced to a small tribe due to hunting by the Cannibal Tribe.

Although tribes might get wiped out for various reasons, there’s always one or two or more lucky survivors who escape death. But surviving doesn’t mean they’re very lucky.

In this world, there is no concept of accepting outsiders from other tribes; every tribe only trusts its own people, keeping strong resistance against outsiders.

Though they don’t understand what it means to see outsiders as different, this concept is deeply ingrained: rejecting outsiders, not allowing other tribes’ people to live and work with their own tribe members.

Only tribes already on friendly terms usually take in survivors from an exterminated tribe, but this happens very rarely.

More often, survivors from devastated tribes wander alone in this dangerous world. This wandering is different from the warrior training Yan Shuangshuang underwent; warrior training usually lasts a short period.

Although warrior training is dangerous, once objectives are achieved, warriors quickly return to their tribe, not needing to face constant danger. They have homes and can return, unlike wanderers.
