Chapter 371: Chapter 359: Found (Two-in-One Chapter)

The Da’er Clan’s dwelling place.

Watching Lu Yun and Shitou leave, Yaluo, Bo Ya, and Sizhi looked at each other, and Dan Le said, "Even though those elixirs looked exactly like what the master gave us, we still have to try them out to see if they are just as effective."

"Naturally, but we’ll have to wait for Sa Duo and the others to return before we try them. It’s strange that they haven’t come back today," Yaluo said.

Bo Ya conceded with a nod. In his youth, among the four, he was the strongest. Although his strength dropped to the last due to an injury, customarily, they still implicitly regarded him as their leader.

"It’s common for a hunting trip to be delayed by a day or two. They know the nearby sea region well; there shouldn’t be any major problems. Aren’t they often late like this? I suggest we head back to the council hall," Bo Ya said.

Without much concern, Yaluo spoke and then called out to Ba She, "Ba She, go ahead and disarm the alarm, let everyone collect their kids and return to what they were doing. Once Sa Duo and the others return, tell him to come to the council hall with Pusi, Langjia, and Liya."

The four individuals Yaluo mentioned were the outstanding members of the younger generation and the next leaders.

In the universe’s civilizations, every species without exception follows the principle of respecting the strong. Because their masters had to leave in search of ore to repair their spaceship, the clan couldn’t be left without a leader here.

Thus, before leaving, the master temporarily designated those four to take over the leadership. They were to consult with each other on matters and make decisions through voting in case of disagreement. As a woman, Yaluo was particularly special, holding two deciding votes.

As they aged, they worried that an accident might throw the clan into chaos, so they selected four of the strongest from the younger generation in advance.

Among the four was a woman, and her selection wasn’t entirely based on strength. Instead, they looked for the most intelligent and wise woman, one who could remain calm under pressure.

Because the master had said, in times of crisis, women can often calm down faster, and even a woman’s intuition and judgment tend to far surpass that of men...

Although not everyone was convinced by these words, since the master—a woman—had said them, they had to take them seriously and follow them as the supreme command.

Bo Ya, Sizhi, and Dan Le nodded at her words.

"Yes," Ba She said respectfully.

He then sounded the alarm to signal the all-clear, and suddenly everyone came out of their houses. No longer holding "weapons," their expressions relaxed considerably, and they started asking each other in hushed tones.

"Has the alarm been disarmed, and have those two left?"

"Definitely, I could see the four elders and Ba She from the window, and Tu Qi saw them to the door. It seems they were not enemies after all," someone replied.

"I saw it too."

"Exactly, the elders seemed happy; I wonder what happened?"

"I’m not sure, but Ba She probably knows. I saw him smile..."

"Let’s ask him later."

"Right, let’s do that."

"Do you think he’ll tell us?"

"He probably will, right?"

...

...

While they talked amongst themselves, not one dared to approach and ask the elders; upon seeing them, they would salute and step aside, clearing a path for them to return smoothly to the council hall.

"If this elixir is real, and if our masters... what should we do afterward?" Bo Ya looked at the other three upon returning to the council hall. "Those gemstones and pearls didn’t seem to interest them much. Indeed, why would they, when the ocean floor is littered with such stuff? They could easily find it themselves without any cost—

If they choose to stop trading with us, it would be fatal for us. Apart from that thing, I can’t think of anything valuable that we could offer right now. But if we give it to them, what about the future? Our descendants will sooner or later face the same dilemma."

At Bo Ya’s words, the others’ faces all turned somber.

Yes, what else do they have to trade? Besides their small living space, the only items of value they had were the two essential Seawater Converters and Treatment Devices, and maybe that thing...
