Chapter 317: Cooperation Between Two Tribes to Kill the Giant Dragon

I didn't expect the Bolan Festival to end so quickly; this made Nan Qinghuan feel incredulous, the Ancient People's festivals are truly brief yet beautiful.

The night was unusually cool.

The autumn wind whistled.

Nan Qinghuan went to find Ayina to do the task Axi had asked her to handle. Yes, Axi had sent her out this time to look for a person and also wanted an item; Axi wanted a comb from here, and this ancient woman already had the ability to make combs. After Nan Qinghuan obtained it, she also asked Ayina to help her find the person.

But Ayina said that person had long since died—died, killed in a Giant Dragon attack—leaving Nan Qinghuan helpless, and she agreed that Axi's request could not be fulfilled.

Having no other choice, she could only return, and when she did, Ying was already there waiting for her.

"Qinghuan"

Ying knew she had gone to help Axi with the task, so he waited here for her; Ayina gave them a few instructions, telling them not to run around, for although the Giant Dragon had been driven away, it might return.

When the Giant Dragon was mentioned, their faces changed, a deep‑seated fear rising from within.

Nan Qinghuan was also worried about the Giant Dragon returning, so... "Qinghuan, sit down"

Ying led her to the bedside and sat her down; the Matriarchal Tribe already had a wooden bed and a silk quilt, which felt very comfortable when covered.

I have to say, this Tribe is truly prosperous.

The Matriarchal Tribe also renders oil for lamps, but animal oil, and like Youchao Xuan's Tribe, they mastered the oil‑rendering technique early on.

"Ying, what's wrong, is your leg still..."

She felt sorry for Ying's leg, but Ying felt sorry for her: "It's not painful anymore. Tomorrow morning we'll leave, you rest first; I need to go out to handle something."

"Where are you going?"

"Woo woo woo..."

Suddenly, a series of beast roars came from outside; Nan Qinghuan heard them. "Bad, that creature is back? No, I must find senior brother and devise a way to completely kill this monster!"

"Don't be afraid, it's fine; it doesn't dare come. I'll step out for a while; you stay here safely."

Ying was also very worried that the Giant Dragon would return, so he wanted to resolve the matter once and for all.

"Ying, Clan Leader Ashina is looking for you"

Ji Lei's voice came from outside; after Ying soothed Nan Qinghuan, he hurried out, and once he was gone, Nan Qinghuan could no longer sit still.

Just as she was about to go out, Ji Lei, worried about her wandering, said, "Oumu, don't wander around; Ying told you to rest here."

"I hear that sound; it's coming again. No, if this thing isn't dealt with, everyone here will suffer. I need to find senior brother; Ji Lei, don't stop me."

"But..."

"Don't worry, my senior brother has already reconciled with us. We need to figure out a way to deal with the Giant Dragon together. Didn't you see it? That Giant Dragon is formidable, but my senior brother has a method; we can join forces to kill it."

"Kill the Giant Dragon?"

Ji Lei inhaled sharply, "Yes, this afternoon he saw Li Xiang, and he's impressive; his Gunpowder is extremely powerful."

But killing a Giant Dragon is not easy.

"Exactly, we must kill the Giant Dragon, otherwise the nearby Tribes will suffer. I'm going to find him."

Ji Lei thought of Ying; if Ying found out, he would certainly be displeased, but Oumu's words were also correct, so he decided.

"Oumu, I'll go with you."

Just as Nan Qinghuan turned to leave, Li Xiang appeared not far away.

"Junior sister"

"Senior brother, the Emperor Crocodile is nearby; is it coming after us?"

These two, being animal scholars, knew their habits; some animals hold grudges, like wolves—if a wolf turns back it is either repaying kindness or seeking revenge. Likewise, the ancient Emperor Crocodile, which this afternoon Ying blinded one eye of and senior brother injured with an explosion, is returning for vengeance.

We originally thought it would calm down a bit, but it came back so quickly.

Thus the two of them must devise a way to resolve this completely.

Moreover, senior brother knows the Emperor Crocodile; they have studied its weakness, and not only does the Bronze Drum's sound temporarily immobilize it, but also... Li Xiang grasped her meaning, looked at her deeply, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"If we don't act, it will destroy all the Tribes here and come after us. Senior brother, there's no time—prepare?"

Li Xiang fell silent for a moment upon hearing that, "You shouldn't take part; you're pregnant, let me handle it."

"It's fine, I can help you. We'll lure it out together and kill it."

Meanwhile, as Ying and the others finished planning how to ambush the Giant Dragon, Rongdi glanced down at his leg, "You're already injured; can you still hold on?"

Ying gave him a cold look, then patted his thigh, "Just a minor wound; after we slay the Giant Dragon, I have something to tell you."

Hearing that, Rongdi sneered, "Fine, then we both have to stay alive."

"Later, cooperate with me: I'll kill it, you thrust my blade into its heart, Rongdi, you hold it."

Ying actually handed his most treasured sword to Rongdi; when Rongdi saw Ying pass the blade to him, he was shocked yet still reached out to take it.

The sword was surprisingly light yet razor‑sharp; a light slash could cut a hand.

He was a bit puzzled; they were enemies, so why today? "Do you trust me so much?"

The two had always fought each other and had never before joined hands to kill a Giant Dragon like today.

Ying merely sneered, "If we don't kill the Giant Dragon, after this place is destroyed the next victims will be you and me. Rongdi, I may consider you an enemy, but today we are friends; we need to cooperate to kill the Giant Dragon, only then can we protect our people."

These words made Rongdi very pleased; he also thought Ying an enemy, but the statement was correct—now is not the time for mutual hatred.

They must cooperate.

If the Giant Dragon is not eliminated, it will run to their Tribes and kill people; they must protect their own people.

Ashina saw the two cooperating and was naturally delighted; she slung her Bow and arrow, looking like a fearless leader, the chief here.

"If the two chiefs can tackle the Giant Dragon together, we will surely succeed. Shall we set out?"
