Volume 2: Chapter 10, Chapter 10: Unintentional
Under Li Shiyi's call, the four guardians walked into the main hall to discuss the livelihood issues for the past six months.
This is related to the safety of the entire Linghai. This matter must be done with caution. One wrong step will lead to irreparable consequences.
The four of them took their seats one after another, sitting on the chairs in the center of the hall, saying nothing, quietly waiting for Li Shiyi's next words.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Li Shiyi began to speak slowly: "At this time, I think everyone is very nervous. Once the barrier is damaged, we first lose contact with the team buying supplies outside, and they don't have any contact at all.
We don’t know the news that we are trapped here. We can only protect ourselves now, and we must not let the tribesmen fall into panic, let alone another famine."
Ryan yawned, adjusted his sleepy face, and said calmly: "I just checked the food in the inventory yesterday, and there is less than half of it. If we live frugally, there will definitely not be a famine. However,
Chief Patriarch, what should we do about the sacrificial ceremony at the end of the month? Should we continue to hold the banquet? I’m afraid the food consumption will be too huge, and I’m worried that we really won’t be able to sustain it.”
Li Shiyi nodded and fell silent.
What Ryan said makes sense. It would be easy if this batch of supplies could be delivered at the end of the month. But in the current situation, holding a big banquet and eating meat is not because they are afraid that they will waste it, but doing so is really greedy.
Is it a long-term plan to enjoy pleasure without caring about the future?
However, hosting a banquet is a tradition they have formed over many years. If it is suddenly broken, it will arouse suspicion among the clan members, right?
After much thought, Li Shiyi had no choice but to come up with a solution:
"A banquet can be held, but the scale should be smaller. In addition, at this time, let them get up early every day and go hunting. Originally, they also have to hunt every day, but they will increase the speed of catching. In this case, it will all depend on
It’s their job to eat, and they enjoy it.”
Yu Jingyao nodded, thinking it was a good temporary solution. At the same time, he also expressed his opinion: "However, I don't think we can keep hunting like this. The number of spiritual beasts near the spiritual sea is originally small, so we must try our best to
You have to exercise some restraint, otherwise those spiritual beasts will definitely cause chaos."
Li Shiyi thought this proposal was good and greatly appreciated Yu Jingyao.
"By the way, what did the high priest say? Are you sure that the barrier can be repaired?" Lu Sheng felt that this was the best way. "After all, if those team members cannot come back as soon as possible, they will be stranded in the capital.
If you go down and are discovered by people from the royal capital, you will die!"
After listening to Lu Sheng's words, everyone couldn't help but worry about their own people, but it was to no avail.
Yu Jingyao also sighed, shook his head, and the sadness between his brows became more intense: "The high priest said that this barrier was completely destroyed. If you want to repair it specifically, you don't even know where to start. You can only restore it yourself."
"I hope nothing happens to them." Geng Yangqiu sighed helplessly.
Li Shiyi nodded, lowered his eyes, covered his face, and his eyes became moist.
He is a person who attaches great importance to the inheritance of blood, especially at this important point of restoring vitality, this kind of problem actually occurs again.
God's will is unpredictable, and fate plays tricks on people.
The fate of the tribe is in his own hands, but in this situation, he does not dare to take risks.
If the barrier cannot be repaired as soon as possible, the tribesmen will starve to death sooner or later.
Seeing that the atmosphere was so heavy and so oppressive that he couldn't breathe at all, Ryan made an excuse and said as if it was a joke: "Look, at the beginning I proposed that we take our clansmen and leave Linghai together to develop in the royal capital.
It's better to remain anonymous than to fend for yourself. You guys think so."
Ryan didn't say anything, but when he did, everyone immediately became angry and pointed the finger at Ryan.
How could they not understand what Ryan meant, which was nothing more than asking them to give up the Linghai Sea, give up their ancestral foundation, and surrender to the rogue government in the royal capital and sacrifice their lives!
Apart from this, is there any other way to survive outside the spiritual sea?
The Giant Spirit Clan has always been wanted by the royal capital. This is something we have always known!
Wouldn't leaving the Linghai Sea be tantamount to sending one to death?
Yu Jingyao couldn't stand listening anymore at first. He slammed the table, stood up quickly, and stared at Ryan.
"Protector Lai! You are bringing up your bad idea again! Do you want to disregard the life and death of Linghai? We have left Linghai, what will the clansmen do? Go and fight those cannibals in the royal capital, and sweep the floor for them with humility.
Do you need to use the toilet to cook?"
"You have to understand that the fate of the clan now rests in the hands of Patriarch Li. If you are to bear eternal infamy in the future, it will not be you, but Patriarch Li! Don't say such treasonous and stupid words again!"
Hearing what Yu Jingyao said was so unpleasant, his face turned slightly red and he felt restless. He couldn't help but feel indignant in his heart and shouted loudly:
"Then we will stay here until the end of time, helpless! We can't even solve our basic livelihood. If there is a war, we will go to war, sacrifice in vain, and be ridiculed by the untouchables in the royal capital! Who will remember our life and death?
?”
"The death of the Lie King Lin Weiwang was tragic, but what was he called by the people in the royal capital? We, the giant spirits, are also destined to die! It is not just the human race that has immunity from war. We are not machines that can come and go at a moment's notice. We are blindly self-indulgent.
Sacrifice can only move yourself."
"In today's situation, the people of the royal capital are hopelessly ignorant and hopeless. Only by breaking the rigid rules and wandering around in the world can we find a way out. Do we really have to wait until the day when there is no one in the spiritual sea?"
Looking up to the sky and screaming, why do you want to throw yourself into nowhere?"
Yu Jingyao was also shocked by his impassioned speech and was speechless.
Yes, facts speak louder than words, and what you understand and feel before you is the most real.
Li Shiyi's eyes were full of sadness. He knew that at this point, people inside Linghai were also discussing fiercely. Should they withdraw from Linghai, face the royal capital, and let fate dictate their life and death? Or should they stay in Linghai blindly, just for the sake of peace?
Sticking to the great cause of our ancestors, but in this way, the people of the tribe have no future, and all that awaits them is slow death.
After going through a series of ideological struggles, Li Shiyi couldn't help but shook his head and sighed deeply, his tone full of reluctance: "I really can't bear the inheritance of my ancestors to be destroyed by my hands. Protector Lai, what did you say?"
It makes sense, but I can't."
