Doomsday Roulette

“Everyone, I wish you all good health during the Dragon Boat Festival. Although my blessings and updates are a bit late, they are sincere. I hope everyone is doing well, no matter what.”

With Ye Zhongming's words, the atmosphere in the tent dropped to freezing point.

Although the posthumous child couldn't understand what Ye Zhongming was saying, his tone was unmistakably not good.

Han Yihao and Sun Yang exchanged glances and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

Today, freedom was in sight!

Afo’s eyebrows twitched as he noticed the gazes of the Dabu Tribe members fixated on his face, and he silently lamented.

As the leader of a small tribe, his status in front of Da Long was far from as high as it appeared. Although the posthumous child maintained a degree of unity due to survival struggles, that unity was based on certain foundations. Once conflicts of interest arose, it was often the small tribes that suffered the most.

The A Long Tribe could be considered a medium-sized tribe, significantly stronger than Afo’s tribe. Afo couldn’t afford to offend them; if he translated Ye Zhongming's words truthfully, conflict would be unavoidable.

But did Afo want to offend Ye Zhongming? No, absolutely not. In fact, the old man was mentally resolved that even if he had to offend a few kings of the posthumous child, he would still want to keep Ye Zhongming in the tribe.

Because what could Dabu or the kings provide to improve the lives of Afo Tribe members? Would it prevent them from gradually declining to the point of extinction? Would they offer relief to them?

No, they wouldn’t. Even if there was some aid, it would be quite limited.

But since Ye Zhongming arrived at the tribe, what had he brought? Outstanding weapons, ample food, high morale for the entire tribe, personal strength improvements, and... hope for the future.

Afo had never felt at this moment that his tribe would be filled with a bright future.

How could he let someone like this fall into danger?

After a slight movement of his eyes, Afo said, “Dabu, I can guarantee with my life that Ye is not a person from the Temple of Dawn, and these two are his friends and definitely not our enemies. If you can uphold the excellent traditions of the almighty god and release these two, we can meet some of your conditions. Ye feels the same way; he’s just a bit anxious, please forgive him.”

Although the meaning was the same as Ye Zhongming’s words, after Afo’s processing, it sounded at least somewhat reasonable and was much more tactful.

The atmosphere in the tent improved somewhat, but Han Yihao and Sun Yang were still in disbelief.

Although they had no good feelings towards the posthumous child, having stayed here for so long, they were well aware of Chief Dabu's ferocity. They couldn’t estimate how strong he really was, but compared to other tribesmen, they concluded that this leader had at least reached the level of five-star evolution. In terms of Earth, that meant six-star!

Six-star! When they entered the secret realm, they were among the fastest evolvers, and they had only reached the three-star level. Once they entered, they were suppressed to about two-star, and in front of Dabu, they had no power to fight back at all.

Yet this fellow dared to speak to the powerful Dabu in such a tone. This was far too dangerous.

So they kept signaling Ye Zhongming with their eyes.

The couple was grateful that this young man they had never met before stood up for them, so they didn’t want him to get into trouble.

Dabu shook his head decisively, rejecting Afo’s proposal.

Who were these two? They were spies from the Temple of Dawn! What could they bring to Afo? At most, just some food. What good things could this weak tribe offer?

But if they handed them over to the kings of several large tribes? The returns would far exceed that!

Dabu understood this clearly, which is why he firmly believed these two were spies from the Temple of Dawn.

Not only that, but he also waved his hand, and among the dozen or so people in the tent, all stood up and encircled Ye Zhongming, clearly intending to capture him.
