Ah Ying arrived at the cave before them and was currently treating the severely injured elder.
After feeding the elder a healing pill, Ah Ying applied some medicinal powder on the wounds on the elder's body.
After doing what needed to be done, Ah Ying could only sigh when he saw that the elder's condition did not improve. Then, he turned around to treat the rest of the tribe.
Ah Long's fingers couldn't help but tremble when he counted the number of people in the cave. He found that there were only 68 people in the cave, which meant that there were still more than 100 people outside the cave, and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead.
Although it was unknown whether they were alive or dead, but from the momentum of the Dark Rats outside, those people basically had no hope of survival.
Ah Long didn't expect that suddenly, their tribe would encounter such a calamity.
Thinking that these people who were close to him might leave him forever, even Arlong, who had been incomparably strong since he was young and would compete with his brothers in killing those Dark Rats, couldn't help but burst into tears.
After crying for a while, Ah Long thought of Ah Bu's instructions and wiped his tears, then walked towards the cave entrance with a resolute expression.
After walking to the cave entrance, he said to Ah Bu, who was looking outside, "Big brother Ah Bu, I've counted, there are a total of 68 people in the cave."
"What?"
Hearing this, the more than 20 warriors at the cave entrance were stunned. They didn't expect the number of people to be so few.
A warrior who was covered in blood said sadly, "Ah Bu, these Dark Rats came too suddenly and fiercely, the people living in the east didn't even have time to run out."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
"Ah Yue, why did so many Dark Rats suddenly appear, and all of them are very violent. Could it be that the foreign races that were chased away have returned?" Ah Bu couldn't help but ask.
After Ah Ying and the others sent Linlong back to the Black Cloud Cave, they naturally told everyone what happened along the way, so everyone in the tribe knew that the foreign races could control the Dark Rats.
The warrior named Ah Yue, who was covered in blood, shook his head and said, "I don't know, we didn't see any foreign races, only waves of Dark Rats rushing towards us."
"Is that so?" Abu muttered to himself.
"Big Brother Ah Bu, Ah Fang is injured and can't hold on much longer. Is there anyone who can come and replace him?" At this time, someone who was fighting against the Dark Rats outside shouted.
Before Abu could speak, someone beside him immediately shouted, "Abu, I'll go."
"Mhm." Looking at him, Abu nodded, then patted his shoulder and said, "Be careful."
"Don't worry." The man grinned and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
Ah Bu took a deep breath, then said loudly to everyone, "Everyone can see the situation now, the tribe is at a critical juncture of life and death, so I hope everyone can hold on, but don't force yourself. If you can't hold on any longer, ask for a replacement, understand?"
"Yes!" The warriors at the entrance of the cave responded loudly.
Such a tone contained endless hot blood, causing the young Arlong's blood to boil.
Following that, Ah Bu continued to walk to the entrance of the cave and looked outside. With one look, his expression changed again, because in a short period of time, the number of Dark Rats outside had reached hundreds.
Fortunately, the entrance of the cave was relatively narrow, and only three people were needed to withstand the attack of the Dark Rats. As long as they replaced people in time, everyone could get some rest, and they could hold on for a long time.
However, if the number of Dark Rats outside continued to maintain such a number, even if they were made of iron, they would not be able to hold on.
After all, they only had twenty people.
Just as he was thinking, his expression changed again, and his gaze focused on a big tree not far away.
There stood a man dressed in black. He looked extremely handsome, but his eyes were extremely demonic, especially when he was standing in the middle of a group of Dark Rats.
This seemed to be the foreign race, right? Although Abu had never really seen the appearance of the Mutated Tribe, he immediately made this judgment.
Seeing Ah Bu look over, the foreign race's gaze also met with his. Looking at the foreign race's gaze, Ah Bu's heart suddenly shook, and he was so scared that he hurriedly looked away.
When he looked back again, the foreign race's figure was no longer under the big tree.
It seems that this time, our people will not be able to escape. Ah Bu could not help but sigh in his heart.
Although he had never seen the real face of the foreign race before, he had fought with them, but compared to this foreign race, the foreign race at that time was simply pitifully weak.
But fortunately, this foreign race seemed to only have the ability to control the Dark Rats.
In this kind of battle, unknowingly, a day and a night had passed.
During this period of time, at fixed intervals, regardless of whether the people fighting were tired or not, Ah Bu was determined to replace them, because he understood that if he did not do this, they would soon be unable to hold on.
Fortunately, there was enough food and water in the cave to ensure that they could replenish their energy.
Although this kind of rotation allowed them to maintain enough fighting strength, Ah Bu's brows were still tightly knitted, because the number of Dark Rats outside still did not decrease.
Fortunately, the number of Dark Rats had also slowed down, otherwise, they would not even have a bit of hope.
At this time, someone beside Ah Bu said, "Ah Bu, go and rest for a while, I will take care of things here."
"Okay." Ah Bu nodded.
He knew that as the leader of these people, if he could not hold on, it would be a heavy blow to their confidence. So, without any hesitation, he nodded and walked towards the cave.
Before resting, he had to go and check on Elder.
When he arrived in front of Elder, he said to Ah Ying who was beside Elder, "Ah Ying, how is Elder?"
"His situation is not good." Ah Ying shook her head.
Elder's body was originally not good, and now that he had suffered such an injury, it was normal for his situation to be bad.
So, Ah Bu did not blame Ah Ying, but comforted her, "Ah Ying, just do your best, Elder will not blame you."
As he spoke, the elder's mouth suddenly moved, and his eyes, which had been tightly shut, slowly opened.
Elder is awake!
Seeing this situation, Ah Ying's heart was immediately filled with joy, one must know that Elder was in a coma previously.
"Elder, Elder …" Ah Ying immediately called out in a low voice.
As if seeing Ah Ying in front of him, or hearing Ah Ying's call, a trace of a smile appeared on Elder's face. Then, he saw Ah Bu.
"Ah Ying …" Elder called out with much effort.
"Elder, Ah Ying is here," Ah Ying hurriedly said, at the same time tightly holding onto Elder's hand.
"Ah Bu …" Elder called out to Ah Ying with difficulty.
"Ah Bu is here." Ah Bu hurriedly squatted down.
Seeing that Elder had woken up, the few people at the side also surrounded him.
At this time, Elder said, "How is the situation … Those … Those Dark Rats … Were they … chased away?"
"Now …"
Ah Ying wanted to tell the truth, but Ah Bu had already pulled on his clothes, and then said to Elder, "Elder, we have already chased the Dark Rats away, that foreign race also ran back to Black Cloud Cave."
Thinking that what Ah Bu said was true, Elder's expression immediately relaxed. "That's … good …"
With that said, he reached into his bosom, and after a moment, took out an extremely simple and unadorned box.
This is?
Ah Ying and the rest were slightly confused, not knowing what this was, and also not knowing why Elder took this out at this time.
Then, Elder opened the box with trembling hands, and then, an abnormally bright dark red pearl reflected in the box into their eyes.
This pearl was only the size of an eyeball.
Elder said excitedly, "Children … This is the … Bright Yang Pearl passed down by our ancestors …"
This is the Bright Yang Pearl?
Ah Ying and the rest all looked at each other. They originally thought that the Bright Yang Pearl was placed somewhere in the tribe, who would have thought that it was actually carried by Elder.
Moreover, this Bright Yang Pearl looked way too ordinary.
But, why did Elder take this Bright Yang Pearl out at this time? They were slightly puzzled.
"Ah Bu, Ah Ying, I hope that the two of you … take good care of this Bright Yang Pearl … The tribe's future … I entrust it … to the two of you …"
With that said, Elder tilted his head, closed his eyes, and actually directly left just like that.
"Elder, Elder …" Ah Ying hurriedly shouted anxiously.
But, no matter what she did, Elder did not have any response.
At this time, everyone finally understood why Elder took out the Bright Yang Pearl at this time, this was simply to make arrangements for his death.
After confirming that Elder had really passed away, everyone could not help but cry uncontrollably.
Not long after, they recovered from this sorrowful state.
Ah Bu originally wanted to take the Bright Yang Pearl for safekeeping, but after thinking about it, he still pushed the box containing the Bright Yang Pearl to Ah Ying.
"Ah Ying, take care of this Bright Yang Pearl first." Ah Bu said.
"This …" Ah Ying did not know what to say, because this responsibility was too heavy.
"Hold it for now, after all, there is no danger in this cave." After Ah Bu said that, Ah Ying took the Bright Yang Pearl and kept it close to her body.
Because of Elder's matter, Ah Bu also did not have the mood to rest. Just when he walked back to the entrance of the cave, a cry suddenly came from outside. "Ah Bu, Big Brother Ah Bu, quickly come and see, what is this?"
Alarmed, Ah Bu hurriedly walked towards the entrance of the cave. When he walked to the entrance of the cave and looked outside, his expression immediately changed.
He saw that under the big tree that the foreign race person was staying at, there was actually a Dark Rat that was six feet long and five feet tall. This Dark Rat's eyes were also incomparably red.
Ordinary Dark Rats were already so difficult to deal with, wouldn't this Dark Rat be even more difficult to deal with?
It was also at this time that the huge Dark Rat suddenly let out a strange cry, and immediately after, the Dark Rats in front of it actually uniformly moved aside to form a path.
After that, the huge Dark Rat suddenly rushed towards this path, its target was Ah Bu and the others.
