Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Dozens of villagers looked a bit puzzled as they observed the group of young people before them.
“Who, who are you?”
an elderly man in his sixties carefully examined the young people and asked in a slightly hoarse voice.
“Sir, we are students on our way to Cloud Peak Academy,” Xia Xi replied truthfully.
Ye Li was still outside the yard, listening to Xia Xi’s response, and he couldn’t help but shake his head silently.
In the wilderness, good people typically don’t die, and bad people don’t usually die either. It’s usually only foolish people who meet such a fate.
Xia Xi’s response was not only foolish but also incredibly foolish.
How could she say such a thing to people she didn’t know?
If it were heard by genetic warriors, they might decide to commit a crime and sell Cloud Peak Tokens to those who needed them.
These tokens held significant value!
Nonetheless, it was too late now; Xia Xi had already spoken.
As soon as Xia Xi responded, everyone in the yard, and even those inside the house, was taken aback. Even their weeping came to a halt.
Seeing this, Xia Xi was puzzled. She had only spoken the truth and hadn’t said anything false.
Suddenly, the elderly man who had just questioned Xia Xi knelt to the ground with a thud.
“Please, sirs, help us take revenge for our village chief!”
Then, everyone in the yard knelt down as well.
Xia Xi, Yang Xiong, Zhang Du, and Li Yun were taken aback by this scene. They had never seen anything like it. For a moment, they were at a loss.
Ye Li entered the yard and walked over to them.
The people from inside the house also came out at this point.
An 8th-tier Awakened Being observed Ye Li and his group. This 8th-tier Awakened Being was a middle-aged man. He was initially surprised but soon revealed a very joyful smile.
“Dear sirs, 1 can sense a terrifying aura from all of you. 1 assume you are all Evolved Beings.”
Ye Li nodded and then looked at the people who were kneeling in the yard. “Please, everyone, stand up.”
Even though he wasn’t a good person, Ye Li couldn’t help but sigh when he saw this scene.
Surviving in such a post-apocalyptic world was no easy task. It was not as safe and prosperous as his original world.
The people on the ground knew that genetic warriors were typically arrogant. If they didn’t stand up, it would be a blow to the genetic warriors’ pride. Therefore, as soon as Ye Li had finished speaking, they all got up from the ground.
“Tell us what happened,” Ye Li said to the 8th-tier Awakened Being.
The 8th-Tier Awakened Being quickly explained, “Recently, a fierce tiger appeared in the mountains. This tiger is incredibly powerful and has already eaten several people from our village.”
“Our village chief was the strongest individual in our village, a loth-tier Awakened Being. He went up the mountain to confront the tiger in order to protect our village. When we discovered what happened, we rushed to the mountain, but it was already too late.”
“Perhaps the tiger had its fill or it was just not in the mood to kill us. Otherwise, we all would have died. But our village chief had a terrible death.
Wuuuu…”
After he finished speaking, the 8th-tier Awakened Being burst into tears.
He was about forty years old, yet he was crying…
As the saying went, men didn’t cry easily, only because he had yet to reach the depth of his sorrow.
Xia Xi and the others thought of the scene described by the 8th-tier Awakened Being and looked at each other in bewilderment.
“Just leave this matter to us,” Ye Li said calmly.
Upon hearing Ye Li’s words, everyone in the yard couldn’t help but smile with joy. This meant that not only could they get revenge for the village chief, but their village could also finally be at peace..
