Xiao Lü added:
"Before you recover, this will be your home. We will provide food and healing."
Tu Hu watched them. Although these three little ones had a clear purpose, their eyes were pure, reflecting only a yearning for survival.
He took a deep breath, feeling the slight relief from pain due to food, and nodded slowly:
"Alright, during my recovery, I'll do my best to... protect you, as repayment."
An alliance based on survival needs was initially formed at that moment.

In the days that followed, Tu Hu settled here.
Through conversations, he learned that this adorable-looking race was called the Downspirit Clan.
This race had thrived for thousands of years in the Blackthorn Forest beneath their feet.
The three little ones he conversed with were the leaders of this race, each over 40 years old.
Their names carried blessings like stars, flowers, and forests.
Tu Hu decided to call them Ah Lann, Ah Fen, and Ah Lü based on the color of their scales.
