The developers still haven't forgiven the players.

"Young man, I remember you are from the Bear Tribe, right? You can return to camp now."

Shanhe pointed in the direction of the camp.

Tianxia Buwu easily understood his meaning, but hesitated somewhat.

"This place is no longer safe."

Shanhe patiently explained, "That beast was right about one thing: the Hou clan's warriors are about to arrive."

Standing next to this middle-aged man, Tenka Fubu felt a sense of protection and peace, and he didn't really want to leave alone.

However, considering that persistent pestering might displease the middle-aged man in front of him, Tenka Fubu finally nodded and turned to run wildly towards the camp.

Watching Tianxia Buyu depart, Shanhe took out an ancient-looking animal horn from his bosom and put it to his lips to blow it.

The deep sound of the horn spread far and wide.

This is an order for the scouts to retreat.

Not long ago, the camp received a report from a scout team confirming that a large Hou tribe warrior force had begun to move.

To avoid unnecessary losses among the human scouts assigned to this area, the commander of the mountain and river forces arrived in advance to notify and assist them in their retreat back to camp.

After doing all this, Shanhe raised his hand and took Honghou's remains.

He wasn't about to waste the immense blood energy of this level of Hou clan.

……

When Tenka Fubu returned to the camp, he could clearly feel that the overall atmosphere of the camp had changed.

The guards on the outer perimeter stood like statues on the watchtowers.

The faces were silent and solemn, their gazes sweeping across the dark red wilderness like those of hawks, as if they could all sense that this was the eve of war.

It's important to know that although it has always been called a camp, over time it has actually been transformed into a circular fortress.

Beneath the outermost high wall, towering spikes gleam with a cold, sharp light.

Inside were layers upon layers of tents, the leather rustling in the wind.

In the center of the camp, a huge light screen seemed to stand still, with large numbers of tribesmen passing through it to transport supplies.

Batch after batch of newly manufactured standard equipment were pushed in by handcarts.

There were also various war supplies, kerosene, herbs... loaded onto the carts, which were tightly covered with thick animal hides.

Among the Shanyun tribe members transporting supplies were young boys, some excited, some uneasy. Occasionally, they would make too much noise and be soothed in whispers by the older tribesmen next to them.

Outside countless tents, soldiers sat or lay down, silently wiping their weapons. The rustling sounds of metal rubbing against various objects rose and fell, forming a low and oppressive prelude to the battle.

Xiong Ling was inspecting her subordinates when she saw Tianxia Buwu return. She said irritably, "Oh? You're back? I thought you'd died out there."

Unfortunately, this sarcastic tone had no effect on Tianxia Buwu; he simply assumed she was greeting him.

Seeing this, Xiong Ling became even more annoyed and was about to say something sarcastic when she suddenly sensed the aura of Tianxia Buyu, and the words she wanted to say got stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.

She suddenly widened her eyes and stared intently at Tianxia Buwu, almost popping her eyeballs out.

Late stage of Blood Transformation Realm!

That's right, such an aura is undoubtedly from the late stage of the Blood Refining Realm.

She could even tell that this blood energy was stronger than her own.

That's a bit of an exaggeration.

How long has it been?

Xiong Ling still clearly remembers that a few days ago when she picked up Tianxia Buwu, the other party only had more than twenty strands of blood energy in his body.

How did it suddenly turn into more than a hundred streams of blood energy?

Given the efficiency of blood energy conversion for ordinary people, it would probably take killing hundreds of Hou tribe warriors to refine so many strands of blood energy.

"How many Hou tribe soldiers have you killed these past few days?"

Xiong Ling's voice trembled slightly, a tremor she herself didn't even notice.

Tianxia Buyu glanced at her blankly, did not answer, and casually found a place to sit cross-legged.

He stopped paying attention to Xiong Ling and turned to open the world channel with his mind.

World Channel - 1

[Taoist Fifteen Dogs: What do you mean? Brother-in-law, are you about to die?]

[Campus Spring Scenery: Great! Before you die, could you tell me where you leveled up?]

[But even her departure was like a cloud: I'm so envious, I wish I could level up that quickly too.]

[Campus Spring Scenery: Damn it, I've been tricked! I've been watching the leaderboard the whole time, and my brother-in-law has been at number one the whole time.]

[Unify the World: Sorry, I was rescued.]

[Campus Spring Scenery: A place where leveling up is this fast, and there are even NPCs protecting you? Feeding? Are you there, game planner? I found a bug in the game, tell me the address now, or I'll log off and report you immediately.]

[Unify the World: No, I don't know either. A female NPC brought me here.]

[Sweetheart Strike Cow: Brother-in-law, didn't you say that a bit too hurtful to him?]

……

In the rolling valleys.

"I'm going to die." Suddenly, Campus Spring Colors covered her head with her hands and knelt down with a thud.

Seeing this, Dog Bro, as if suffering from a relapse of his illness, clutched his chest and slumped down, saying, "Me too...me too."

The meatball was terrified, looking around warily: "What happened? Where did this attack come from?!"

The man who was walking sideways across the entire region twitched his lips and remained silent for a moment: "It's okay, you'll know if you check the world chat."

Upon hearing this, Roupeng immediately brought up the chat interface.

I skimmed through the chat on the world channel and felt a lump in my throat; I felt like I was about to have a stroke.

"Seriously, are you two crazy?"

They have been searching for the Hou tribe soldiers who fled from the Qinghe tribe for the past few days.

Due to the game's severe death penalty, RouBang is in a state of high tension most of the time.

The two guys' performance really startled him.

Just kidding.

The campus spring scenery, after a shameless moment of madness, stood up properly and regained the decorum befitting a middle-aged professional: "But to be honest, I really want to know where this brother-in-law has leveled up."

"yes."

Dog Bro chimed in agreement.

The efficiency of this upgrade is like heaven compared to their current level.

They didn't even find a trace of the Hou tribe, let alone kill monsters to level up.

Of course, they didn't suspect that Tenka Fubu was deliberately withholding their address, but they couldn't help feeling a little unbalanced in comparison.

Knowing that complaining was useless, Chunse from the campus asked instead, "Is the rice grown at 'Dongdong Grain Shop' ripe yet?"

"It'll be soon. Brother Si Dongquan assured me that the first batch of refined rice will mature in the next couple of days."

Speaking of this, Dog Brother immediately became interested: "Then we can have someone help us refine Blood Qi Pills."
