Chapter 318: Senior and Junior Sister Conspire to Kill a Prehistoric Giant Beast
Ashina was already prepared. She set out with some bows and arrows and a few of her own tribesmen. These chieftains hadn't brought any weapons when they arrived, and the bows, arrows, and spears they now used were all given by Ashina.
All the chieftains of Jiuzhou Dadi were to cooperate today, fighting desperately against a common enemy.
"A Mu, you all must be careful."
Ayina walked in and looked at them with great worry. Just then, Ji Lei hurried in, "Bad news, Ying. Oumu and Li Xiang have gone to kill the Giant Beast."
"What?"
Hearing this, both the Rongdi and Ying were greatly startled. The Rongdi cared about Li Xiang, while Ying cared about Nan Qinghuan.
"Let's go."
When they arrived, they saw it was already too late.
The scene before them stunned everyone, even making their breath pause for a moment.
The Giant Dragon had been lured into a circle by Nan Qinghuan. Such a huge dragon stood right before her, and she kept beating a Bronze Drum in her hand. When the Giant Dragon reacted, it suddenly swung its tail, trying to send her flying.
"Watch out!"
The Flying Man Rongdi suddenly flew forward, grabbed Nan Qinghuan in his arms, and dodged the attack. At that moment, he realized he still cared about this woman.
He just couldn't forget her.
"Qinghuan."
"Senior Brother, light the fire quickly."
Li Xiang lit the circle, and in an instant, a great fire blazed up. The Giant Dragon, missing one eye, had poor vision and could only keep sweeping around with its tail, seeming to have gone mad.
"Shoot arrows, kill it quickly!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... All the long arrows shot toward the Giant Dragon. Just as they thought the beast would be burned to death by the fire, they found the arrows had no effect on it at all.
It was about to break out of the fire.
"No, we can't let it out."
Nan Qinghuan wanted to stop it, but the Rongdi and Ying worked in perfect coordination, suddenly charging inside.
The maidservant thought they had to kill the Giant Dragon to end this.
"Ying!"
She wanted to go in and pull Ying out, but Li Xiang held her back. "Don't worry, it'll be fine. I'm going in to help them."
"Wuwuwu..."
After they went in, the fire still blazed. Those outside didn't know what was happening inside, only that the fighting was fierce. They waited anxiously.
Once inside, Ying drew the monster's attention, while the Rongdi found the Giant Beast's heart. They carefully approached, drew out their long knives, and stabbed fiercely.
"Wuwu."
A miserable cry echoed through the valley. Those outside were extremely worried. The fire still burned, and no one knew who was injured.
The wait was long, and gradually the sky grew bright.
The fire continued to burn. Nan Qinghuan crouched on the ground, staring in shock at everything.
Were they all dead? "Ying..."
"It's okay, it seems there's no more movement."
The Emperor Crocodile stopped crying and roaring. Just as everyone thought they had died inside, Ying rushed out of the fire with the injured Rongdi.
"Water, water."
The Rongdi's wings were on fire. Fortunately, someone brought a wooden bucket, and with a splash, the flames were quickly extinguished.
No one could have imagined that day that Ying would cooperate with his sworn enemy, let alone that he would rescue the Rongdi from the fire.
The Rongdi was taken by the female doctor for treatment, and Li Xiang naturally went along. After they left, Ying collapsed into Nan Qinghuan's arms.
"Ying, Ying."
Nan Qinghuan hurriedly checked his injuries. Fortunately, she found he was fine, and she breathed a sigh of relief. It had been truly difficult.
The fire gradually died out. A charred Emperor Crocodile lay dead, its blood flowing in a stream across the ground.
Seeing the Giant Dragon killed, Ashina danced with joy. "We won, we won! Ying is truly remarkable. Come, cut up this dragon's meat and give a share to every household."
These primitives would even eat the Emperor Crocodile's meat to show they had triumphed over it.
Ashina hadn't expected that the few people Ying brought could be so formidable, able to defeat such a powerful Giant Dragon here. A thought formed in her mind.
At noon, the sun was scorching.
When Ying woke up, it was already midday. Nan Qinghuan had prepared Herbal Medicine, a decoction made from Golden Coin Grass and Yunnan Baiyao, which had a miraculous effect on his injuries.
"Ying, you're awake?"
Ying opened his eyes and was very happy to see Nan Qinghuan. "Qinghuan..."
"You're amazing! You killed the Giant Dragon and even rescued the Rongdi. Truly remarkable."
Hearing this, Ying seemed to recall something. Yes, he had saved the Rongdi, but the Rongdi had also saved him.
He remembered that when he was sent flying by the Giant Dragon's tail, the Rongdi had flown over and caught him, preventing him from being smashed to death.
He never imagined that one day he and the Rongdi would cooperate to kill these Giant Beasts.
"Where is he?"
"He's already woken up and taken his people back."
"Gone? Then the Bodhi Root..."
Ying was very anxious about the Bodhi Root—it was Qinghuan's medicine.
"He took the Bodhi Root with him, but he left a message."
"What message?"
As soon as he said this, Ashina's voice came from outside.
"Ying's awake?"
Ying saw Ashina also sit up and said, "Now the Giant Dragon is dead, the Jiuzhou Dadi has regained peace. Ashina, this time for the Bolan Festival you have prepared a big gift for us."
Those words made Ashina a little embarrassed, and Nan Qinghuan naturally understood.
Could it be that this Bolan Festival is just a ruse?
Has Ashina long wanted them to help her get rid of that Emperor Crocodile? Ashina knew Ying was clever and had already guessed, so she no longer concealed it, hurriedly trying to explain, "Ying, don't be angry; I had no choice but to use…"
"Bold Ashina, if that's the case, future Bolan Festivals will be meaningless, and I won't come again. You should speak plainly, not make us the Tribe solve your troubles."
Leaving those words, Ying got up and tried to leave; his leg still ached a little, but he didn't care.
Ashina truly is the smartest woman.
"Ying, wait."
Ashina realized Ying was angry and hurried to chase after him; she had taken a liking to him, so how could she let Ying leave? When Ying stepped out, all the tribe members suddenly knelt.
That also left Nan Qinghuan baffled—what trick was this woman playing? Ying straightened his posture, turned his head slightly toward Ashina, and his gaze carried a cold edge, "What does that mean?"
Ashina had someone bring Ayina over, as if to act as a matchmaker for them.
"Ying, you've done us a great favor; our tribe thanks you. I'd like you to take Ayina with you, so that in the future the Ying clan and the Matriarchal Tribe will be one family. What do you think?"
