Gong Yi's eyes lit up. "I'll think of a way. If we can restore communication, that would be the best. We won't be able to meet the Federation for a long time. We need someone to connect the Empire and the Federation!"
"Wang Zhong, you don't have to worry about these things. Just leave it to us. Casting your Heroic Soul is a very crucial step, and it determines your future. You should focus your energy now. We won't give you random suggestions in this regard. You have to know that if you need anything, we'll go through fire and water. Climbing a mountain of swords is a small matter."
Cao Hong patted her chest and said.
"I have another very important thing here. One last thing, we want to set up an organization. Wang Zhong, what do you think is a good name?" Gong Yi asked.
"Red Sleeves Alliance?"
"Revenge Party?"
Gong Yi rolled his eyes. "Money Society?"
In the end, he was also despised by Sister Hong and Reynolds.
"How about a new world?"
With their worries resolved, the four of them began to recuperate in peace. Wang Zhong and the others' injuries were very serious. In fact, Wang Zhong was fine, but he was more exhausted. The others were injured and exhausted. Such a situation was quite difficult to deal with even with the medical conditions of the Federation, but in the Empire, which lacked medical facilities, Wang Zhong and the others had miraculously recovered, especially Cao Hong. She was almost dead, but she was pulled back from the brink of death.
It could only be said that Mu Zi's ability was far beyond Wang Zhong's imagination. The Federation had been used to being arrogant over the years, but in fact, there was no lack of extraordinary people in the Empire. The person in charge of recuperating Wang Zhong and the others was an elder in the Katchirda Village. It was said that he was the witch doctor here. He was leaning on a broken crutch, and his eyes were gray. He spoke in an indigenous language that Wang Zhong couldn't understand and looked like an old quack.
However, the medicine he concocted was very miraculous. It smelled stinky and looked black like mud, but after applying it to the body and splashing it with the medicine, one would feel a hot power directly seeping into the bones and even the meridians to nourish them.
In just one day, Wang Zhong was already able to get out of bed by nightfall. He estimated that he would be able to make a complete recovery in two to three days. This was even more advanced than the most advanced treatment methods in the Federation. This caused him to be unable to help but have a whole new level of respect for the Tutankhamun witch doctor, who he had always viewed as a quack.
Compared to ordinary oasis villages, the geographical area of Katchirda Village was much larger. The oasis covered an area of about a dozen square kilometers. The Tutankhamun government and surrounding forces had once stationed troops here. However, the oasis was also a strong attraction to mutated beasts, especially since there was a very cunning seventh-level Gravel Lizard King controlling it. All the forces couldn't withstand the continuous beast tides. Later on, they organized several large-scale purges but failed to capture the seventh-level monster, so they gave up on this place.
Every time a beast tide broke out, this place would suffer heavy losses. However, the attraction of the oasis would still attract an endless stream of people after the disaster, and the tragedy would repeat itself. The person who saved all of this was Mu Zi. He went deep into the desert alone, found and killed the level seven beast king, and even resisted the subsequent two beast tides' counterattacks in the village alone. Up to now, half a year had passed, but the beast tide had not broken out again.
Meanwhile, Mu Zi's cultivation had reached a bottleneck. Traveling alone in the desert was no longer of much help to him, so he simply stationed himself here. He could also help the villagers deal with the possible beast tides, so to the people of this village, Mu Zi was the god here.
Some simple fences had been built around the village, and sentry towers had also been set up at the front and back of the village. Such protection could only serve as a warning for the beast tides, but it was still limited by poverty. Although there were people, they didn't have the money or resources to build it. The local forces of Tutankhamun were also still observing and had no intention of immediately intervening here. They were really afraid of the beast tides here.
Therefore, Gong Yi's idea was completely correct. This was indeed a unique treasure land, but there wouldn't be much time left for them to develop. It could be imagined that when the Katchirda Village stabilized, such a large oasis would attract the covetous eyes of many forces in Tutankhamun. Of course, Gong Yi had a lot of tricks up his sleeve to deal with the country bumpkin nobles of Tutankhamun. He had always advocated those who used their brains rather than their fists.
Today happened to be the Katchirda Village's annual coming-of-age ceremony. Six boys in the village would officially become men who would be respected by the entire village tonight. Therefore, many bonfires had already been set up by the Katchirda Lake in the village center. Many women with handkerchiefs on their heads were busy beside the bonfires, preparing ingredients for the barbecue at night and piling up fuel for the bonfires. There were also many bare-bottomed black children shuttling back and forth, running and playing.
There was also a lot of food piled up at the side, all of which were the carcasses of mutated beasts. The Tutankhamun people weren't very picky about meat. Eating mutated beasts was a common thing for them. In the early days, they paid a huge price for it. Many villagers mutated or even died from eating mutated beasts. However, with the accumulation of long-term experience, the Tutankhamun people could easily distinguish what kind of mutated beast meat they could eat and what they couldn't.
Now, Katchirda Village didn't lack the carcasses of mutated beasts. When Mu Zi dealt with the counterattack of the Beast Tide, the carcasses of the mutated beasts were piled up like mountains in the village. All the edible ones were picked out and marinated into long-lasting cured meat. Some of them were even stored with the witch doctor and soaked in a special potion. They could actually keep the meat from rotting for several years in the high temperature of the desert.
At night, more than thirty bonfires were lit up. The entire village had gathered, and the villagers could be seen everywhere with warm smiles on their faces. Not only the locals, but there were also many travelers who stayed overnight. As long as they paid a certain fee, they could participate in this bonfire party and enjoy the sumptuous food. Wang Zhong and the others were invited to come.
Wang Zhong and the others were invited over. They sat with Mu Zi beside the largest bonfire in the center, accompanied by the witch doctors and elders of the Katchirda Village.
When the drums sounded, a few young Katchirda lads carried the prey they hunted and walked out surrounded by countless children. Most of the prey they hunted were first-order mutated beasts, but there were two who were particularly outstanding and killed second-order, large prey. One had to know that these were the children of the most ordinary of villagers. They had never received any sort of systematic training, and because of the previous beast horde, they had spent at least a quarter of their lives in the caves. Yet, they were unexpectedly able to possess such combat prowess. This was already comparable to the top students of the Federation's Heroic Soul Academies.
"Human potential is infinite. The worse the environment, the more talented people can be." Gong Yi was a little emotional. He had an indescribable fondness and expectation for Katchirda Village. "If these children can receive systematic training similar to the Federation's Heroic Soul Academy, their achievements will be limitless."
