Chapter 339: Joint Preparations to Attack the Masai Cannibal Tribe

Ying said that Rongdi still believed, but… He nodded at Nan Qinghuan, "He hasn't come back; I thought you had captured him. The High Priest never spends the night outside."

"We didn't capture the senior brothers; we've formed an alliance and wouldn't do such a thing, but…"

She paused, "Ying, could the monkey sounds last night have been …"

"Don't worry, Ashu has already gone to investigate. Rongdi, you stay here; I'll definitely find out where they went."

Rongdi was very worried, but there was no other way now, so they could only wait.

"Alright, then I'll see what's really going on?"

Since Rongdi came, it was only natural to treat them with courtesy.

Fortunately, it wasn't like before, when a single disagreement would lead to a fight.

Ying had someone prepare tea and handed it to Rongdi, "Don't be impatient; don't act like a wild man, all flustered. Wait for news and have a cup of tea, okay?"

"Tea?"

Rongdi was stunned. What is tea? He saw the crystal‑clear liquid in the earthen bowl and frowned; it looked almost like urine. Could it be drunk? "Isn't this urine?"

"Pfft…"

Nan Qinghuan suddenly laughed; she couldn't help it.

"Rongdi, why are you so funny? This is tea; how could we serve you urine? Your beastman thinking is really odd."

Stung by Nan Qinghuan's teasing, Rongdi's face wavered, "Tea?"

He quickly lifted the earthen bowl, examined it closely, and smelled a pleasant fragrance; this time he believed it wasn't urine.

He cautiously took a sip; the taste was surprisingly good. "This water is really tasty, where did it come from?"

Ying, seeing Rongdi also liked tea, was very pleased, "You have no knowledge; this is tea brewed from tea leaves. When you go back later I can give you some."

Stung by Ying's remark about his ignorance, Rongdi felt embarrassed; his complexion turned sour, but he gulped down the tea in one go, and after drinking it he felt much more comfortable.

The anger in his heart gradually dissipated.

He has a short temper and tends to get impatient when faced with problems.

When he set the bowl down, Dashan hurried over from not far away.

"I'm back."

"What's going on?"

"You all come with us."

Soon, several of them rushed toward the forest; Nan Qinghuan also wanted to see. Ying had originally intended to let her rest, but realizing she couldn't rest, let her come along.

Nan Qinghuan's belly was already showing, but she could still walk.

She didn't want to be Ying's burden, so she refused to let him carry her.

She wanted to see what happened to the senior brothers last night. At noon, Ashu stood inside the forest waiting for them, "Ying, Rongdi, you have arrived; look here…"

A fierce battle had taken place here; the ground still bore many Long Arrow marks, and there were also remnants of a ritual.

"This item was found in the forest; it looks like the High Priest's Scepter?"

Rongdi naturally recognized Duo Luo's Scepter; he took the scepter, clenched it in his hand, his brows furrowed.

"It's Duo Luo's thing. Ying, does your tribe have any other people coming and going?"

Ying seemed to recall something; he went to the worship area and saw some sacrificial sheep heads, clearly indicating someone had performed a ritual here.

"Ashu, what day was it last night?"

Ashu thought for a moment, then took out a grass rope used for notes, flipped through it, and murmured, "Ying, it's bad; last night was the Masai's moon‑worship day."

"Masai."

Rongdi's face looked grim, "They must have been captured. The Masai eat humans, especially those like Li Xiang, who are white and tender."

"What?"

Nan Qinghuan was very worried, what to do, the senior brothers were captured? "Ying, where are the Masai? Should we go rescue them?"

Ying clenched his fist, fell silent for a moment, then looked at Rongdi, "I only know they're at Snake Mountain; I don't know how to get there. Snake Mountain is shrouded in white mist, invisible. Can your Flying Beast go and check?"

"With white mist, the Flying Beast would get lost."

Hearing this, Nan Qinghuan grew even more anxious. "Ying, what should we do? Find a way to rescue the senior brothers."

She regretted that had she known such a thing would happen, she wouldn't have let the senior brothers go back last night. Now what to do? They've encountered the Cannibal Tribe.

Just as they were at a loss, Ashu suddenly said, "Don't worry, I know how to get there?"

Hearing that Ashu knew, Ying and Rongdi were puzzled; Ying quickly asked, "Ashu, how do you know how to get to Snake Mountain?"

Ashu was a bit embarrassed, "In the past we and the Masai were actually one race, later we scattered. They eat people, and we were mistakenly thought to eat people. I know a small trail to Snake Mountain, but the road is very hard."

Rongdi, now he couldn't let Li Xiang get into trouble, "Then what are we waiting for? Tell us the route. Those Masai dared to seize my priest and High Priest; I will annihilate them."

"Exactly, daring to capture people on my territory is unforgivable. The Mase tribe shouldn't exist. Ashu, tell us the way."

Ashu knew they wanted to destroy the Mase tribe, but… "You must think it through; they have a very potent toxin that can kill people."

"Toxin? What toxin?"

Ashu thought for a moment, gestured with his hand while speaking, still a bit worried, "It's a huge monster; a bite is fatal. Attacking it won't be easy."

Ying wasn't afraid of that, "Why fear? Draw the place, Rongdi, you prepare; we go rescue them."

Although Li Xiang wasn't of his own clan, he was Qinghuan's senior brother; the Masai daring to capture people on his territory must be taught a lesson.

Moreover, Qinghuan also worried about Li Xiang.

Now Li Xiang is cooperating with them; he wants to rescue him, as the tribe's development needs him and Rongdi also needs him.

The carriage hasn't been completed yet; he cannot die.

Rongdi, hearing that Ying would help him go rescue people, felt somewhat moved.

"Alright, we'll go rescue them together."

This time the two newly allied people were preparing to attack the Masai, but Nan Qinghuan couldn't go; she was pregnant, and Ying thought it too dangerous to let her run around.

Nan Qinghuan didn't want to be a burden, so she agreed to stay, but she heard there was some toxin there and went into the space to fetch some disinfectant medicine for Ying to carry.

Even though she didn't know what toxin it was, having a bit of disinfectant on hand is always better than nothing.

Rescuing the person cannot be delayed, and there was little time to waste.

After Ashu drew a simple map, they prepared to set out.

Nan Qinghuan placed her own backpack on Ying's back at the tribe's gate after countless reminders, "Ying, there's disinfectant in here; if you get bitten, try it."

Ying knew it was taken from the space and said, "Qinghuan, don't worry; I will definitely bring your senior brother back."

Nan Qinghuan didn't expect that this time he would go personally to rescue his senior brother instead of sending someone to help Rongdi, and she nodded heavily, "I trust."

After giving Ying a hug, Ying prepared to set out with Ashu and Dashan. This war is a man's business; a woman cannot take part, so she could only stand at the tribe's gate to see them off, watching the men of each family leave.

The tribe members were still very worried about their own men, and Nan Qinghuan was even more reluctant; now the senior brother must be rescued, and the Masai should also be eliminated.

The Cannibal Tribe cannot appear on the Jiuzhou Dadi.

Rongdi saw Nan Qinghuan looking worried, felt a pang of compassion and stepped forward to comfort her, "Don't worry, Qinghuan, I will protect Ying well; I won't let your child be without a father."

Because of Rongdi's words, Nan Qinghuan's nose tingled with emotion; after all, Rongdi does indeed care for her.

She smiled at him, her smile as beautiful as a flower, "Thank you, I have prepared Roasted Meat and fine wine to await your victorious return."
