In the evening, as the mbers who went out for battle returned to the tribe, Ye Liuyun used his Divine Sense to scan around and noticed that there were about two or three hundred fewer people. Despite having sowhat inferior bows and arrows, the tribe mbers were skilled archers, and their shots were accurate.
If Ye Liuyun were to use their bows and arrows, he wouldn't be able to shoot them.
"Watch closely!" Axing said, bending the bow, aiming for a while, and when the right mont ca, she shot the arrow.
The hawk in the sky let out a mournful cry and fell from the sky.
"A middle-grade spiritual stone!" Axing smiled, extending her hand towards Ye Liuyun.
"You're really amazing!" Ye Liuyun exclaid, placing a middle-grade spiritual stone in her palm.
Later, they arrived at the spot where the hawk fell and collected it.
Axing couldn't help but envy Ye Liuyun and Ye Tiandao's Interspatial Rings. She didn't have such a device.
Ye Liuyun searched through his Interspatial Ring, unable to find a suitable one, and had to resort to using a clone to modify a larger Interspatial Ring into three smaller ones.
Ye Liuyun then gave one of the Interspatial Rings to Axing.
Axing was so excited that she carefully put the Interspatial Ring on her finger.
"Thank you! I'll keep it safe!"
She regarded this Interspatial Ring as a token that Ye Liuyun had given her.
However, Ye Liuyun didn't have such thoughts at all. He just thought it would be convenient for her to have a ring for storing things without having to trouble him.
"If you want to thank , teach archery as a return!" Ye Liuyun suggested with a smile.
"Sure! I'll teach you as soon as we get back!" Axing imdiately agreed.
They returned to the tribe joyously, only to find the people gathering.
"What happened?" Axing asked a tribal mber who was about to rush to the assembly.
"Li Tribe from the neighboring area has declared war on us. We're going to fight back."
Upon hearing this, Axing quickly led Ye Liuyun and the others to prepare dicinal herbs. Once the battle started, they would be busy with healing.
Ye Liuyun thought for a mont but decided not to join the commotion.
In the tribe, he was the only young man who didn't participate in the battle.
However, being a doctor, it was quite normal, and no one had any objections.
Even those without cultivation realms had to follow and join the fight.
With a combined fighting force of just over three thousand people in the tribe, led by Amu, they set off in a grand manner.
After more than two hours, injured individuals were brought back one after another and handed over to Ye Liuyun and others for treatnt.
Through these wounded soldiers, Ye Liuyun also learned that the battle was intense, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
However, the reasons for these tribal conflicts were mostly about delineating hunting territories, a way of resource competition.
Ye Liuyun paid little attention, focusing wholeheartedly on helping Axing treat the injuries.
So injuries he could have instantly healed, but he followed the local thods to avoid arousing suspicion.
"It's not a small loss!"
For a small tribe like theirs, losing so much fighting strength undoubtedly ant a harsher survival situation in the future.
They won the battle, but there was no celebration in the tribe. Injured individuals silently went to seek treatnt.
Everyone was worried about their future survival.
After treating the wounded, Ye Liuyun and the others didn't feel like enjoying the prey they had caught. Instead, they each returned to focus on their cultivation.
Ye Liuyun also released a little of his cultivation realm, revealing that he was at the first level of the Body Refining Realm.
This breakthrough wouldn't raise suspicions, and everyone's attention would remain elsewhere.
The next morning, as Axing congratulated Ye Liuyun on reaching the Body Refining Realm, a group of people and horses arrived, capturing the attention of all the tribespeople.
"Who are they?" Ye Liuyun asked Axing.
"They're from the Luo Tribe, a tribe nearby. Probably here to collect food," Axing sighed.
Against these larger tribes, they had no choice but to endure, or else they risked annihilation.
Luo Tribe? Isn't that the dium-sized tribe that ambushed Axing before? Ye Liuyun had a premonition that this wouldn't end well.
As expected, the leader of the group arrogantly approached the chief's residence, demanding food.
"Why has the quantity doubled?" The chief asked in confusion.
"It's the chief's requirent. You have three days. If you can't provide it by then, we'll co and take people!" The person callously said these words and left with his group.
The chief of the Wan Tribe was so angry that he was trembling. Amu and a few other n stepped forward to comfort him.
The tribe mbers fell into silence. Axing's initially high spirits also dissipated in an instant.
That night, the chief convened the tribespeople to discuss counterasures.
"If we hand over double the food, we might starve ourselves. But if we don't, they will likely capture three to five hundred fighting individuals this ti!" The chief explained to the tribespeople.
When large tribes co to capture people, they usually target young, able-bodied fighters and so young won. The elderly, sick, and disabled are not of interest to them.
The tribe's fighting strength would significantly decline, but the number of people relying on food would not decrease. This would lead to a vicious cycle, causing the tribe to deteriorate progressively, and ultimately, the entire tribe would be annexed sooner or later.
"This is too much! Let's fight against them!" A man exclaid angrily.
"Yeah, since there's no way out, we might as well give it a try!"
They were indignant, and after summarizing their opinions, the majority agreed to fight to the death.
Finally, the chief made his decision. "Then let's fight!"
Ye Liuyun could see that they had reached a point where they could no longer tolerate the long-term oppression.
"If we're going to fight, why not launch a surprise attack on Luo Tribe tonight? Catch them off guard," Ye Liuyun suggested to Axing.
"That's a great idea!"
Axing imdiately stood up, presented the suggestion, and gained the approval of the others.
Amu imdiately gathered all the fighting strength and planned a night raid on the Luo Tribe.
Axing, Ye Liuyun, Ye Tiandao, and even so other won participated in the battle this ti.
Everyone knew that if they failed, their tribe would be completely destroyed. Therefore, anyone capable of wielding a weapon joined the fight.
However, they had no tactical or strategic knowledge and didn't understand the situation of the enemy.
Ye Liuyun volunteered to scout ahead. Amu was pleased and readily agreed.
So, Ye Liuyun, accompanied by Ye Tiandao, took the lead.
