Lin Xiao was in a state of shock. It was only after Xiao Jiu called him a few times did he finally react. During this period of time when he was in a coma, he had traveled from 13 cities to the vicinity of Darknorth.

"When we get to the tribe, don't go anywhere. Wait for me where you are when you dismount."

Although he didn't know why Xiao Jiu was doing this, Lin Xiao still nodded his head.

Some time later, as they rode over a slight rise in the hillside, they came upon a camp of thick wooden stakes, with tents and horses roaming about it.

Although this place was also a flat land, it was still different. The grass here was fatter, and the power of the Dao was very strong, so there was no sense of scarcity.

Presumably, this was the Starry Sky Tribe that Ka Yuan spoke of. The scale of this place was not small.

Ka Yuan, Ka Qi and the rest stopped outside the tribe. They dismounted from their horses and walked directly into the tribe, allowing the horses to ride back to the nearby horses.

After Lin Xiao dismounted, he did not move and no one bothered with him. Xiao Jiu followed behind Ka Yuan and the rest into the tribe. After a while, Xiao Jiu ran out of the tribe and signaled Lin Xiao to follow him.

Xiao Jiu brought Lin Xiao around the campsite and arrived at the back of the campsite. There were a few small tents outside the wooden fence.

Following the arrival of these two people, some people from the other tents also came out to check. When they saw the strange man next to Xiao Jiu, their faces were filled with panic.

"This is our tent. You live with me." Xiao Jiu pointed to the tent on the far left.

Lin Xiao frowned. He wanted to leave this place and not stay in the Starry Sky Tribe.

Obviously, Xiao Jiu sensed his displeasure, so he continued, "Master Ka Yuan and the others said that they will not be leaving the tribe for some time. They will only bring you along when the war between the tribes starts. When that happens, you can leave by yourself."

Hearing Xiao Jiu's words, Lin Xiao sighed, this seemed to be the only way. He couldn't leave by himself, relying on the words of Ka Yuan and the rest, he wouldn't be able to leave for a long time.

After Lin Xiao compromised, Little Nine hurriedly left, not knowing what else to do.

He was bored. He lay on the grass and closed his eyes to rest, but there were always a few furtive glances aimed at him.

These people all lived here like Xiao Jiu. Their status clearly did not qualify them to live in a tribe.

Lin Xiao's interest was piqued. He turned around and laid on the grass. He crooked his finger at the people in the tent who were sizing them up, indicating for them to come over.

The few pairs of eyes looked at each other. After hesitating for a moment, they all left the tent and arrived in front of Lin Xiao. Including Xiao Jiu, there were a total of five people living in these tents.

The four figures crouched in front of Lin Xiao, their actions extremely restrained, giving him a feeling of being unable to let go of their limbs.

"What's your name?" Lin Xiao asked.

The four of them looked at each other and said their names one by one.

Little Four, Little Six, Little Eight, and Little Eleven.

Do you use serial numbers in place of names?

Lin Xiao rubbed his chin. If that was the case, then wouldn't there be another young couple?

"Is there anyone else besides you?"

The four of them nodded in unison. Seeing this, Lin Xiao continued to ask where those people were.

After four successive replies, Lin Xiao finally understood the gist of the situation.

Only the tribes on the plains were safe, and Little Jiu's tribe was captured by the other tribes. Eleven of them were sold as slaves, and it just so happened that Kachi had passed by the slave trade and bought them after seeing the eleven teenagers.

However, every tribe had a strict system, so they were not allowed to enter the tribe. Kaki had prepared several small tents for them to stay in the back of the tribe.

The eleven of them were initially taken as servants by the people of the Wandering Star Tribe. However, one by one, they began to die. Some suspected that they had unclean things on them, so they were not even qualified to be ordered around.

Only the quick-witted and quick-witted Xiao Jiu kept up with Ka Yuan and Ka Qi. Xiao Jiu was also the one who brought the food for these people.

Currently, there were only four people remaining, which was also the four people in front of Lin Xiao. After listening to their narration, only anger could be seen in Lin Xiao's eyes. Since Ka Yuan and the rest thought that Little Four had a strange personality and had even arranged for him to stay here, it was obvious that they did not consider his safety.

Seeing the angry expression on Lin Xiao's face, the four servants took a few steps back and lowered their heads, not daring to look at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao did not get angry at Little Four and the rest. This matter had nothing to do with them, so there was no need for him to vent his anger on them.

Besides, this group of people were quite pitiful. They would probably never be able to escape from the fate of being slaves for the rest of their lives.

After dark, Xiao Jiu came back and gave the steamed buns and water in his arms to Little Four, Little Six, and the others. Even Lin Xiao didn't have the time to pay attention to him as he fell asleep inside the tent.

Lin Xiao watched as Little Four, Little Six, and the rest chewed the steamed buns with relish, and felt an ache in his heart.

Back then, when he was on the verge of starving to death, even he wanted to pick up the grass and chew on it a few times.

"Wait a moment."

Lin Xiao could not bear it any longer. Saying this, she turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

When he returned, he was carrying two fat rabbits. In the plains, there were many creatures like rabbits, wolves, wild dogs, and wild boars.

After soaking the two rabbits in Spirit Spring Water, Lin Xiao started a fire and began to roast the rabbit.

When the firelight was ignited, the four people jumped away as if they were frightened. After a long time, they carefully approached, and in the end, they stretched out their small hands to roast the fire to keep it warm.

The red light of the fire illuminated the four small faces that were at a loss, but were filled with satisfaction. Seeing this, Lin Xiao revealed a smile. He felt that this was good.

Not long after, the scent of rabbit meat wafted through the air. The four of them had looks of longing on their faces, but they nervously stared at Lin Xiao. They knew that this fragrant rabbit meat did not belong to them, but to this young man in front of them.

"Gu Dong, Gu …"

There was the sound of saliva being swallowed, as well as the sound of his stomach growling. Of course, those steamed buns were not enough for the four of them.

After the rabbit meat was roasted, Lin Xiao tore the rabbit into pieces and divided it among the four of them. But at this time, the four of them put their hands behind their backs and shook their heads. They didn't dare to receive it.

"Go ahead and eat it. I'm here to roast it for you to begin with."

Lin Xiao revealed a faint smile. That warm smile made the four of them feel as if it was even warmer than fire. They felt flattered as they received the rabbit meat and carefully looked at Lin Xiao.

Finally, little Eleven couldn't stand it any longer and bit into the rabbit's meat. Seeing that nothing had happened, the other three started to gobble down the meat as well.

"Eat slowly, don't choke. There's one more here."

These people had been enslaved as slaves for a long time, so they only ate steamed buns and water. Now that they were eating the rabbit meat, they bit harder and harder, and the more they bit, the fiercer they became. There were even tears flowing out from their eyes as they blended together with the rabbit meat.

The child even cried out, eating and crying.
