End of the Battle

The Jackalmen were either killed or fled by the Players, and in the blink of an eye, only Kuáng Tú remained on the battlefield.

With no other targets, the other Players turned their attention to Kuáng Tú.

"Now that the mobs are cleared, it's time to take on the BOSS!"

"Brothers, charge!"

"Once we kill this BOSS, the rewards will be ours!"

"I'm going to level up to 4, no one get in my way!"

The Players cheered as they charged, surrounding Kuáng Tú and launching a combined assault.

"Let's go help too!"

Pan Xiong said, about to lead Pan Hu and Pan Lang to attack Kuáng Tú, but Lin Feng stopped him.

"Leave this Jackalmen leader to them. We'll search the tribe's camp and see if there are any remaining Jackalmen."

Lin Feng said.

He naturally wouldn't let the Pan Family Three Brothers join the fray against the Jackalmen, and instead led the three towards the Jackalmen's camp.

Calling it a camp was a stretch; it was just twenty to thirty tents scattered around the base of the towering trees.

The tents were crudely made from branches of varying lengths and various animal hides.

Lin Feng and the Pan Family Three Brothers approached the tents. Before they could even begin searching, they spotted four Wood Race people standing dazed in place.

They were over three meters tall, but their waists were only sixty to seventy centimeters around, making them look like slender tree trunks.

Their legs were short, less than a meter, while their arms were long, hanging from their shoulders to almost the ground, at least over two meters!

Their skin looked like bark.

Seeing the four approaching, the four Wood Race people lowered their heads in unison, examining the newcomers.

"Friends from the Wood Race, the Jackalmen have been eliminated. You are free now."

Lin Feng waved at them and smiled.

He had only heard that a group of Wood Race people lived beneath the giant trees, but he had never seen them before. This was his first encounter.

They certainly looked strange.

"Thank you, friends from the Human Race."

One of the Wood Race people spoke.

His speech was very slow, only slightly faster than the sloth named Flash from Zootopia.

"You're welcome, it's what we should do." Lin Feng smiled and asked, "By the way, do you know where the Humans captured by the Jackalmen are?"

This was what concerned him the most.

"They are imprisoned in that tent."

The Wood Race person pointed to a tent not far away and said slowly.

"Thank you!"

Lin Feng expressed his gratitude and was about to go rescue the captured Humans when the Wood Race person called out to him.

"Wait."

The Wood Race person called out, his speech quickening slightly due to urgency.

"Is there something wrong?"

Lin Feng stopped, asking in confusion.

"We have a humble request. May we leave with you and live in your tribe?"

The Wood Race person asked tentatively.

Only four of their kind remained, and survival in this dangerous Savage World would be difficult.

Attaching themselves to a powerful tribe was the best option.

This Human tribe, capable of defeating the ferocious Jackalmen, was naturally a powerful one.

They just weren't sure if they would be accepted.

Join our tribe?

Lin Feng looked up at the Wood Race person, who was over three meters tall.

Taking them in seemed like a good idea. The Wood Race were not aggressive, were hardworking, and strong.

Furthermore, accepting them might even unlock a new hidden race for Players to choose from.

"We can help with work, and we don't need to eat!"

Seeing Lin Feng looking up at them without answering for a long time, another Wood Race person thought he was unwilling to take them in and quickly added.

The Wood Race had many retractable root systems in their legs. They could insert these roots into the soil to absorb nutrients and moisture, thus not requiring food.

"Of course, you are welcome to join the Starry Tribe!"

Lin Feng chuckled.

He was a kind person, so naturally, he wouldn't refuse to take in these pitiable Wood Race members.

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Upon hearing that Lin Feng would shelter them, the Wood Race members' faces lit up with joy. They bowed their heads to Lin Feng in gratitude.

However, to Lin Feng's disappointment, the system didn't prompt him about activating a new hidden race.

He wasn't sure if this hidden race didn't exist in the system, or if the system didn't consider this situation as recruiting a new race.

Lin Feng asked the Wood Race members to wait where they were, then he, along with the Pan Family Three Brothers, headed for the tent where the Humans were held captive.

Inside the tent, Ying Zhan and the other five pricked up their ears, straining to hear the sounds outside.

As the sounds of fighting outside grew fainter, their hearts sank.

Was the battle over?

Did the Jackalmen win? Or did the ones who attacked the Jackalmen win?

"Why don't I sneak out and take a look?"

Ying Ye couldn't help but suggest.

This unknown waiting was making him extremely uncomfortable!

"Let's wait a bit longer. When everything goes quiet outside, I'll go take a look,"

Ying Zhan said after some thought.

He wouldn't let Ying Ye take such a risk; if anyone was going, it would be him.

As they were speaking, footsteps approached from outside.

The group immediately stopped talking and looked anxiously towards the tent entrance.

The footsteps grew closer, the tent flap was lifted, and a head poked in.

"Lin Feng!"

Upon clearly seeing the person at the entrance, Ying Ye couldn't help but exclaim.

The others also looked at Lin Feng in surprise.

They had considered many possibilities, but none of them had imagined that Lin Feng would be the one appearing at the entrance!

"Ying Ye, Ying Zhan! You're all still alive, that's great!"

Lin Feng entered the tent, saying excitedly.

From the beginning, he had suspected that the Human captives in the Jackalmen Tribe were from the Ying Clan Tribe.

But suspicion was just suspicion; he could have been wrong.

Seeing that it was indeed Ying Zhan and the others in the tent now, he was naturally happy and excited.

"How did you get here? What's going on outside? Did the Baimu Tribe send people to attack the Jackalmen?"

Ying Zhan asked urgently.

He guessed it was the Baimu Tribe attacking the Jackalmen for two reasons: first, the Baimu Tribe had the strength to do so, and second, he saw the Pan Family Three Brothers behind Lin Feng.

They all recognized the Pan Family Three Brothers and knew they were from the Baimu Tribe.

However, would Baimu Sheng, that vampire, be so kind-hearted?

"It wasn't the Baimu Tribe. I'll tell you the details later. For now, let me untie you."

Lin Feng said, stepping forward to help them untie the ropes binding their hands and feet.

The Pan Family Three Brothers also hurried forward to assist.

"How was the battle outside?"

Ying Zhan, his ropes untied, asked with eyes full of fighting spirit.

Many of his tribesmen had died at the hands of the Jackalmen, and he hated them to the bone. Now that he was free, he couldn't wait to fight the Jackalmen.

"Most of the adult Jackalmen are dead, but there should still be some young ones hiding in the tents."

Lin Feng replied.

The Jackalmen had been scattered by the Players. A few had desperately tried to rush back to lead the young Jackalmen away, but they were intercepted by the Players.

The young Jackalmen in the tribe were now hiding in the tents, too afraid to come out.

"We can't leave the young ones either!"

A fierce glint flashed in Ying Zhan's eyes.

He naturally felt no pity for other races, especially his enemies.

"Oh right, what about the Tribe Leader and the children? Are they safe?"

After asking about the battle, Ying Zhan inquired further.

"The Tribe Leader was too heavily injured after escaping and sacrificed himself. Before he died, he passed on the position of Tribe Leader to me. All five children are safe."

Lin Feng spoke.

Upon hearing that the old Tribe Leader had sacrificed himself, Ying Zhan and the other six were filled with grief.

"Damn these Jackalmen!"

Ying Zhan said through gritted teeth.

Afterward, the group arrived outside the tent.

Kuáng Tú was still being besieged by Players. He desperately tried to break through the encirclement and escape, but was intercepted by Players time and time again, only able to let out roars of impotent rage.

It was only a matter of time before he was killed.
