Gu Jianghai stood frozen where he was, eyes wide open.
Isn’t it a hallucination?
"Jianghai, Chen Family Stronghold’s people, it seems, seem to be calling us to turn around?" The man next to him asked cautiously.
"I heard it too. It seems they want to return the prey to us?"
"Really, could there be such a good thing?" The faces of the few n were filled with disbelief.
Gu Ze didn’t speak, swallowing hard.
If that’s the case, that would be wonderful.
Just then, shouts from behind rang out again, urging them.
Now, the few n heard it clearly, exchanging a glance before apprehensively turning around and looking forward.
They saw the Chen Family Stronghold’s people standing where Gu Family Stronghold’s people had been, rummaging through the spoils, while Chen Guodong was smiling and waving at them.
"Jianghai, why don’t we go over and take a look? What if it’s true?" Soone suggested.
"Yes, we have no grudges with them. If they really wanted to harm us, they would have done so a long ti ago."
"Let’s try; we have nothing to lose."
"Then, let’s go and take a look."
Gu Jianghai was moved, gritting his teeth and agreeing.
A few n approached cautiously, and when they were still twenty or thirty ters away, Gu Jianghai said with a cheerful smile, "Brother Chen, were you calling us just now?"
Saying that, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Chen Fan, who was standing a short distance away with a calm expression.
He rembered clearly, it was this young man who single-handedly took out the entire Hunting Team from Li Family Stronghold, his strength truly terrifying.
Chen Guodong smiled and nodded, pointing to the wildebeest on the ground, "If I’m not mistaken, this should be your prey, right?"
"Yes, it’s ours."
A man couldn’t wait to say.
Gu Jianghai nodded, his heart in his throat.
"Then you should take it back."
Chen Guodong said without hesitation.
"!"
Gu Family Stronghold’s people instantly felt like they were hit by a pie falling from the sky.
Isn’t this too easy?
"Brother Chen, are you serious? Not joking?"
Gu Jianghai was still a bit uneasy. Even if Chen Guodong wanted to take half, he would accept, after all, without them, the prey couldn’t have been recovered.
"Huh?"
Liu Yong beside him couldn’t help but laugh, "Old Gu, you are quite funny. Would we deceive you?"
"Exactly, if you don’t want it, we will take it."
"We want it, we want it," Gu Jianghai was startled.
"Then why are you acting so hesitant?"
"Alright,"
Chen Guodong smiled, looking at Gu Jianghai, "Old Gu, I understand your worry. Rest assured, without any additional conditions, whoever’s prey it is, should take it."
Upon hearing this, the few n were moved to tears.
From his tone, it was evident that Chen Guodong sincerely wanted to return the prey to them.
"Brother Chen, thank you, thank you!"
"Thanks to you, if you hadn’t helped us out, we would have returned with so little and wouldn’t know how to face the people in the stronghold."
"Yes, this is great, now everyone has sothing to eat." Several n said, wiping their tears.
Chen Fan quietly watched the scene, a bit amused but more heartened, as in an adult’s world, nothing is easy.
"Old Gu, don’t say that."
Chen Guodong waved his hand, sighing lightly, "Actually, I should be thanking you."
"Ah?"
The n wiping their tears all looked up in astonishnt.
Chen Guodong explained:
"When we t earlier, we didn’t help not because of fear of trouble, but worried about accidentally hurting you, so we pretended to escape, leading Li Xiong and his n to chase us.
This certainly made you disappointed. We didn’t expect you would follow us, but you did, thinking to help us, right?"
Liu Yong and others slightly nodded upon hearing this.
Even Chen Fan was a bit surprised at the ti.
They hadn’t expected Gu Family Stronghold’s people to have the courage to follow.
From this point alone, these people were worthy of close relationships.
Among Gu Family Stronghold’s people, except for Gu Jianghai, the others felt deeply ashad.
So that’s why, no wonder they obviously had this power but still went out of their way to choose to flee, they were afraid of accidental injuries.
But them?
They were resentful, hoping Chen Family Stronghold’s people would end up like them, if not for Jianghai standing firm, they wouldn’t have chased.
If that happened, they definitely wouldn’t have gotten the prey back.
Plus, future hunts would be filled with anxiety.
They wouldn’t understand Chen Guodong’s kind intentions.
"Brother Chen, we are ashad."
Gu Jianghai’s eyes were also moist, "Honestly, we didn’t help much, why thank us?"
"Yes, we are utterly wrong! We misunderstood you, thinking you were heartless, now thinking about it, sigh!"
"It’s okay, it’s all in the past."
Chen Guodong shook his head, looking at the few n opposite, "Everyone is struggling in the wilderness, it’s hard for everyone, mutual help is essential."
"Right, right."
"We should help each other."
Gu Jianghai and the few n nodded repeatedly.
"Alright, that’s it for today, the way back is long, stay safe."
Chen Guodong glanced around, considering that Li Family Stronghold’s people were essentially stripped clean, they might not retreat.
As for the corpses, they wouldn’t last a night here, they’d be gone soon.
"Xiaofan, what are you thinking? It’s ti to go."
Liu Yong said with a smile.
"Yes."
Chen Fan nodded, his eyes falling on Gu Family Stronghold’s people.
He thought, perhaps now was a good opportunity to recruit them? Although being refused was possible, the probability shouldn’t be high.
Just then, Gu Jianghai’s voice sounded.
"Um, Brother Chen."
"Yes?"
Chen Guodong turned around again, smiling, "Brother Gu, anything else?"
Gu Family Stronghold’s people instinctively looked at him.
Could it be Jianghai wanted to thank them again?
However, the next words left them stunned.
"Um, Brother Chen, can we join your Chen Family Stronghold?"
At this mont, the surroundings fell silent, ti seed to stand still.
Chen Family Stronghold’s people hadn’t expected this.
Chen Fan felt delighted, things were smoother than expected.
With Gu Family Stronghold’s few joining, not to ntion future trips to Song Family Castle for trading, things would be safer.
After a while, Chen Guodong tentatively asked, "Brother Gu, did you say, Gu Family Stronghold wants to join our stronghold?"
"Yes, yes."
Gu Jianghai was a bit nervous, yet hopeful, "Our stronghold is too small, winter is coming, life is going to be tougher, you seem short on hands, although your skills are stronger, far stronger, if we unite, we should live better."
