Chapter 341: Li Xiang Kills the Mase Leader

Rongdi?

The leader of the Mase tribe is a hot‑headed fool; he's not afraid of any Rongdi nor of Ying!

What are you afraid of? Rongdi can't come here; we have divine artifacts protecting us. What are you waiting for—has the water heated yet?

After saying that, he moved as if to strip Li Xiang of his clothing.

Seeing this, Duo Luo became very nervous and said, "Stop! I'll give you whatever you want; just don't kill Li Xiang."

Duo Luo knew these people weren't afraid of Rongdi nor of the Na Shan Tribe, so whatever she says now must not let Li Xiang die.

Absolutely not!

Li Xiang was splashed with water and suddenly woke up; when he did, he found himself bound by vines and about to be stripped, and he instantly sensed the danger.

Duo Luo

He tried to rise but couldn't get up, only staring at the group of savages before him.

Yes, he remembered: he and Duo Luo had originally planned to escape; he had intended to use his own gunpowder to blow these people up, but the torch was kicked away, and he couldn't fight, so he was captured and brought here.

Li Xiang, get up quickly—they're going to eat you.

Hearing that they were going to eat him made Li Xiang's scalp tingle; in the most perilous moment a survival instinct erupts, forcing him to crawl up from the ground.

He looked around; everywhere were places where primitives lived, dwelling in low grass piles—truly a primitive tribe he had never seen before.

These people wore the simplest garments and were barefoot, even more primitive than those of the Rongdi.

You want to eat me?

The leader, seeing him finally trapped, said, "You can talk? I thought you were mute. That's right, we're going to eat you; I'm starving. Come on, bring the stone axe."

Hearing this, Duo Luo shouted, "Wait, don't kill him, leader. Whatever you ask of me I am willing to do; I can do anything for you. I am the High Priest of the Rongdi Tribe; I am pure."

"Duo Luo, stop babbling, don't act recklessly."

Bound, Duo Luo could only shake her head, "For you I would do anything, Mase leader; as long as you agree, I am yours."

The Mase tribe's leader, named Guang, was in his thirties and looked rough. Hearing Duo Luo's words, he strode forward, grabbed her face, exposing a yellowed, missing tooth, and said, "You said you didn't want to follow me?"

Duo Luo's jaw was about to dislocate from his grip, but she glanced at Li Xiang, clenched her teeth, and said, "Release him and I'll go with you."

"Then you must sleep with me; after that I'll let you go."

"Duo Luo, you're crazy, that's impossible."

Li Xiang wasn't going to sit and die either; he shouted, "You savage, listen to me—do you dare duel me? You all love to fight; this female is the one I like. If you want her, you must get my permission. Do you dare challenge me?"

These words made Duo Luo stare at him with wide eyes—has Li Xiang gone mad? He's so slight; how could he match the leader? He would be beaten to death!

The leader named Guang, upon hearing this, suddenly found it amusing. Indeed, Li Xiang was clever, knowing these savages are naturally belligerent, so he abruptly let go of Duo Luo and stepped toward Li Xiang. Though Li Xiang was over 1.7 meters tall, in front of Guang he was a little dwarf.

"You want to spar with me?"

Hoo hoo hoo…

The tribe members were leaping, striking the ground with bamboo—a tribal custom mocking Li Xiang's overconfidence. Li Xiang paid them no mind.

If he could untie these grass ropes, he would have a way to scare off the group.

"Did you see? My tribe is mocking you, white‑skinned male."

"Then let's try; as a leader, aren't you afraid to spar?"

Li Xiang was very clever, using the savages' competitive spirit to devise an escape; Guang had never seen anyone so confident.

"Fine, then I'll kill you and throw you into the pot to boil."

"Li Xiang, no!"

At that moment Duo Luo's tears rushed out; is Li Xiang crazy? "Duo Luo, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

At that moment Li Xiang realized how much Duo Luo cared for him; he had not liked her before, but now he found that Little Black Sister had somehow entered his heart.

He seemed reluctant to let her sacrifice anything.

He swore that if he could survive and get out, he would treat her well.

Because of Li Xiang, Duo Luo was even more sorrowful, for she knew Li Xiang couldn't defeat this man!

But Guang wanted to defeat Li Xiang in front of Duo Luo; as a leader, how could he be despised by this white‑skinned male!

"Alright, men, untie his hands; today I'll show everyone how I kill this man."

At those words, the tribe members grabbed several Bronze Drums and began beating them… "Dong dong dong"

The sound of the Bronze Drums was huge; the tribe grew even more excited, all eager to see how Li Xiang would be killed.

Dare to provoke their leader—seeking death!

Soon, the grass ropes on Li Xiang's hands and legs were untied, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief. He had been here a long time without encountering such danger, but it was his first time seeing a Cannibal Tribe.

Their cannibalism made him even more cautious, but fortunately his gunpowder was still on his person when he was captured.

He wasn't foolish enough to fight the man; he only needed to ignite the gunpowder to blow up the leader, and the others would be no threat.

Capture the king first.

He had mastered this principle from watching Three Kingdoms.

"How do you want to come at me? Here, take a spear."

The leader Guang was still beaming with pride, but Li Xiang smiled, "I need nothing; I have a wondrous thing here that the leader must try."

He pulled the bomb from behind, and Duo Luo instantly understood it was salvation, but the others didn't know, and Guang burst into a loud laugh.

"What is this? You think you can provoke me with that, seeking death."

Leader Guang had lost patience and lunged at Li Xiang; this scene made Duo Luo's eyes widen in terror.

"Li Xiang, be careful."

Li Xiang seized the chance, ignited the fuse, and threw it at Guang.

Suddenly, Bang— a massive blast shook the valley!

Leader Guang let out a horrific scream as the gunpowder exploded, his whole body turning pitch‑black.

"Leader"

"Seeing this, Li Xiang quickly ran to Duo Luo's spot and in a few moves untangled the vines from her."

"Go"

"When they said they wanted to leave, the Tribe members immediately surrounded them, 'You injured our leader; we will take your lives.'"

"Li Xiang, what do we do?"

"Li Xiang was unafraid, pretended to draw a second one, and said, 'Do you see? This is a treasure bestowed by the Heavenly God; anyone who dares to step forward will meet this fate.'"

"The words indeed worked; the Tribe members saw the power of Gunpowder and the leader blown into a bloodied figure, and everyone, frightened, fled backward."

"The leader, though his body was drenched in fresh blood from the blast, somehow still managed to crawl up, unwilling to give up, and muttered a phrase in the Tribe's language that they could not understand."

"When those words were spoken, all the Tribe members swarmed toward them; Duo Luo panicked and grabbed his arm, 'Li Xiang, what do we do?'"
