"It’s so warm here!"
"Why is everyone wearing animal skin clothing, and in different colors?"
"So much coal, Uncle Yuan, look over there, there’s so much coal."
"Iron ore, so much of it, just lying on the ground."
"So many weapons, and Cold Beast at, that red one, what is it?"
"They don’t live in caves, obviously no fire lit in this valley, how is it so warm, big sister?"
"Look, even the children have clothes to wear, big sister, quickly look."
...
Despite being ntally prepared, when they actually followed Xia Chuan and his group to arrive at the Great Xia Valley, Xiao Yuan, Xiao Ning, and Xiao Yu were still stunned by everything before them.
Surveying the people and things in the valley, the pupils of the three were full of shock and emotion, and they stood frozen in place.
"The three of you, please continue to move forward!"
Only when Xia Chuan called out did the three co to their senses, upon seeing the smiles on Xia Chuan and the others’ faces, they all looked a bit embarrassed and hurriedly followed along.
Just like the others who had earlier integrated into Great Xia, there was no need for Xia Chuan and the others to explain, just the abundance of supplies and buildings within the Great Xia Valley left Xiao Yuan and the others in awe for a long ti.
After walking a little over a hundred ters and roughly taking in the whole situation within the Great Xia Valley, their expressions turned even more touched, and no one along the way initiated any questions, as if they had forgotten they ca with a mission.
Xia Chuan, who was leading the way ahead, was about to say sothing when soone suddenly ran over in a hurry and bowed to him:
"Zhu Qing of the Heroic Team, greets Lord Minister..."
Seeing three unfamiliar people following behind Xia Chuan, Zhu Qing paused for a mont, then leaned in close to Xia Chuan’s ear and whispered a few words.
"Understood, have Zhu Yuan wait for in the main hall, I’ll head over imdiately!"
After listening, Xia Chuan frowned but still gestured for Zhu Qing to leave first, then turned to Xiao Yuan and the others, smiling, "Uncle Xiao, I have an urgent matter to attend to, I’ll have Qiu Peng show you around, feel free to ask any questions of him, okay?"
Xiao Yuan hurriedly bowed, showing respect, "No need to be polite, sir, if you have important matters, go ahead and handle them, we’ll take a look around on our own."
Xia Chuan nodded, gave Qiu Peng a look, and headed towards the wooden house on the left, followed by Shi Ping and the others.
Left alone, Qiu Peng looked at Xiao Yuan and the others, smiling as he invited them:
"Gentlen, please follow !"
Qiu Peng, as the Director of the Camp Supply Departnt, was in charge of the entire camp’s supplies and contribution value ledgers, making him the most suitable person to guide Xiao Yuan and the others on the tour.
...
The temporary wooden house on the left, the main hall of the compartnt.
As soon as Xia Chuan and the group walked in, they saw a row of strangers bound with ropes kneeling on the ground.
There were seventeen of them, all middle-aged, wearing full sets of Beast Skin Clothing, despite being injured, their expressions were defiant, emanating a fierce aura, and when Xia Chuan entered, their eyes swiftly turned towards him.
Though these people hid it well, Xia Chuan still detected the faint vicious glint deep in their eyes.
Especially the two in the lead, the one on the left had a fresh scar by his eye, and the one on the right was missing a left arm, with the most evident vicious glint in their eyes.
"Lord..."
Seated on a chair, Zhu Yuan rose imdiately to salute upon seeing Xia Chuan enter.
The seventeen kneeling below, upon seeing this scene, imdiately had a change of expression.
When Xia Chuan entered just now, they thought he was just an ordinary mber of the camp, given his youthful appearance, but did not expect Zhu Yuan to show such respect to him.
A few hours ago, they had clashed with Zhu Yuan and his group, knowing how terrifying his strength was, this young man could command Zhu Yuan’s respect, which ant his strength and status were likely far beyond their imagination.
Despite already having guesses about the identity of the seventeen on the ground, after Xia Chuan walked to the front and sat on a chair, he still turned and asked Zhu Yuan:
"What’s going on, who are these people, hasn’t Yuwen Dao returned?"
Zhu Yuan nodded, swiftly recounting the previous experience of Yuwen Dao taking people to find Hong Guang.
Last night with Zeng Fan leading the way, Yuwen Dao’s group quickly located the campsite of the Three Tigers Camp, in his eagerness to save people, Yuwen Dao casually grabbed a solitary person, interrogated them, and confird that Hong Guang was being held at the camp, and imdiately took action.
Even though Three Tigers Camp had a considerable number of over two thousand, they were very weak in terms of strength, with only about forty in the so-called Earth-digging Realm, including those so-called Three Tigers.
Last night, Yuwen Dao not only brought his Dragon Wu Team but also the team of Hong Tian, Zhu Ling, Zhu Yuan, and ng Yi, totaling thirty-five people, fully ard, without any fear.
Hearing this, Xia Chuan showed a hint of confusion on his face.
The developnt level of human camps around Five Ape Mountain was indeed far behind Great Xia, whether in strength or weaponry.
But the issue is, no matter how far behind, it shouldn’t be possible for a camp of over two thousand to be taken down by Yuwen Dao and just thirty-four people, right?
"Originally, it shouldn’t have been so smooth, after all, the Three Tigers Camp had over two thousand people, even though there weren’t many in the Earth-digging Realm, there were quite a few in the Logging Realm, and the lord hesitated for a mont whether to notify the Minister first before rescuing Hong Guang and the others..."
Seeing the confusion on Xia Chuan’s face, Zhu Ling quickly explained, but as he spoke, his tone suddenly turned indignant, first turning to look at the seventeen kneeling on the ground, then spoke to Xia Chuan:
