Wang Zhaofu, being a professional trader frequently visiting several neighboring counties, has quite a lot of dealings with the Qi Mountain Tribe.
He himself accounts for more than 30% of the total trade volu in and out of the Qi Mountain Tribe.
Upon hearing Ren Zhong say that Zheng Tian and others were captured, Wang Zhaofu imdiately said nonchalantly, "I thought it was sothing major. Isn’t this just like the great flood hitting the temple of the Water Beast King? The reason the Qi Mountain Tribe wants to capture townspeople who accidentally learn of their existence and specific location is because they are afraid that the information will be sold and lead to an army of Hunters. I have a great friendship with the Qi Mountain Tribe and we depend on each other. They trust . I’ll just say a word to them, they know it’s one of their own, and naturally, they’ll release the people."
Sure enough, within less than two minutes, Chen Hanyu contacted Ren Zhong again, saying it was just a misunderstanding and the other side thought they were wounded wild people they picked up.
Now that the people are fully awake, they realize they ca to save people. With just a few words, they turned foes into friends, and even returned all the equipnt.
Ren Zhong’s eyes darted, and a new plan quickly ford. He simply asked Zheng Tian to spare so of the unused military supplies to gift to the other party, and they would head straight back in the afternoon instead of hunting.
Although Zheng Tian was puzzled, she still complied. The other party was quite surprised and felt even more ashad.
Ren Zhong then had Zheng Tian connect a communication with the leader on the other side and made an agreent.
He asked the Qi Mountain Tribe leader to stay up tonight, saying there was an important matter to discuss.
...
At ten fifteen in the evening, the fully ard Ren Zhong rode a Navy Type IV jetski out of the gates of Starfire Town, racing towards the 470 kiloters away Qi Mountain.
About an hour later, he arrived at Qi Mountain and turned off his wrist watch.
According to the location provided by the tribe leader, Ren Zhong found a giant rock about six ters high on the mountainside of Qi Mountain’s main peak.
Upon reaching the rock, Ren Zhong grabbed the vine in the crevice beside the rock and tugged it three tis.
Monts later, the giant rock rumbled and sank underground, revealing a four-ter-high entrance on the stone wall behind.
Ren Zhong lifted his steps and entered.
A tall and a short man stood side by side at the entrance.
"Captain Ren, visiting late at night. What’s the matter?"
The tall man in armor asked in a slightly raspy tone.
Undoubtedly, this person was Shi Xuan, the leader of the wild people’s tribe.
The shorter one must be the agility-type Armored Soldier, Shi Xuan’s adopted son Shi Lin.
Ren Zhong glanced inside, "Let’s talk inside."
"Alright."
Ren Zhong followed the two inside for about a hundred ters when the space suddenly opened up before him.
Inside the massive stone chamber, there was a rail car shaped like a bus parked there.
Six n in tattered clothes were ard and guarded the side.
Ren Zhong and Shi Xuan boarded the car, and Shi Xuan pulled the control lever inside the car. Only a series of clicks were heard, and the car slowly descended.
Occasionally, the car wheels made a bumping sound against the joints of the spliced iron rails.
Ren Zhong’s gaze drifted out the window, looking at the receding stone walls outside, and asked, "Wasn’t this a mining area before?"
Shi Xuan nodded, "It shouldn’t have been. I don’t know where the courage ca from for the first generation of residents to hollow out the mountain and build this city."
Ren Zhong chuckled, "Just the will to survive, what courage do you need."
The rail car traveled inward for about five or six minutes, covering nearly two kiloters, and finally slowly ca to a stop.
Ren Zhong got off the car, and before his eyes was a huge hall over fifty ters high.
The hall covered at least a thousand square ters, with houses built into the stone walls all around, and passageways leading in every direction.
The ceiling of the hall was supported by a twisty network of giant wood and tal pillars.
Shi Xuan proudly said, "When we first ca here, this hall had collapsed. It took us eight years to repair it to its current state bit by bit."
"Over there is our Ruined Beast dismantling area, over there is the residential area, over there is the equipnt maintenance area..."
Shi Xuan pointed in direction after direction, enthusiastically introducing.
Clearly, he trusted Wang Zhaofu very much, which extended to trusting Ren Zhong, who Wang Zhaofu vouched for.
Ren Zhong nodded, "Indeed remarkable."
Shi Xuan lowered his voice, "But I think Mr. Ren, you are even more remarkable. Did you really beco a chanical Warrior just two months ago? Did the butcher Lin of Starfire Town really die at your hands?"
Ren Zhong shook his head.
Shi Xuan was startled, "But that’s what Boss Wang told ."
Ren Zhong smiled, "To be exact, today marks the fifty-fourth day since I embarked on the path of a chanical Warrior. As for Lin Wang, he died at my hands on the forty-fifth day of my being a chanical Warrior."
