Chapter 429: A Giant Footprint in the Snow

Hearing Ji Lei's words, Ying seemed a bit surprised, and Ayina quickly nodded, "Yes, Ying, I heard it from my mother; we must be cautious about this matter."

Ayina is now married to Ji Lei and thinks of everything with the Ying Tribe in mind.

Hearing Ayina's words, Ying fell silent for a moment, then let out a cold laugh, "Very well, the Lasi Tribe no longer wishes to live on Jiuzhou; once Winter passes, let the people of the Military Camp practice, so they can win the first battle of Spring."

Conquest and plunder have always been the nature of the Ancient People, even so!

"Ying, then we must begin preparations!"

When Spring arrives, we will first wipe out Luosang's tribe.

Ji Lei also didn't expect that merely building a road would anger Luosang, and Luosang actually colluded with the Giant Tribe.

Those people must never team up with them, otherwise they cannot be sure of defeating them!

Ying's gaze turned toward the distant place, just as he was about to speak, they suddenly heard a very strange sound coming from the forest.

Wooo

It sounded like Jingang's voice.

"Bad, it's Jingang. Ji Lei, go fetch the bow and arrow, we'll go take a look."

What Ying didn't expect was that when they ran into the forest, they actually saw… on the snow‑covered ground, an injured Jingang lying there wailing, its face covered in fresh blood, and several Long Arrows lodged in its back.

"Ying, it's Jingang."

When Jingang saw Ying and the others arrive, its wailing grew even more intense; Ying saw attack marks everywhere, and also… "Is that Youchao Xuan's Shoes?"

Ayina knows Youchao Xuan's Shoes; she even made those Shoes for Youchao Xuan.

Jingang was injured here, Youchao Xuan's Shoes were left behind, and Ying quickly understood what that meant.

"Ji Lei, go fetch people; they must have been captured."

Ji Lei took out a Sea Conch and began to blow; after finishing, he was astonished to discover… "Ying, what is that?"

On the pristine white snow lay a huge claw‑print pit, enormous beyond measure, larger than Jingang's claw.

Ying's gaze also naturally fell upon that massive earth pit.

When he reached it, he saw a claw imprint; this was no ordinary beast.

"A claw print that big, Ying, looks like a Giant Dragon's claw?"

Strange—hadn't they killed that Giant Dragon? How could it still be here? Jingang kept wailing, and Ying could think of nothing else, "Send Qinghuan to bring the Giant Overlord and take Jingang back."

Nan Qinghuan never imagined that one day she would use an Excavator to haul Jingang away; Jingang is too huge for anyone to move, and it is gravely wounded.

It will soon be handled by Nan Qinghuan.

That day, the Ying Tribe was extremely busy.

Nan Qinghuan was even busier.

Outside the tribe, claw marks from unknown people and a Great Beast appeared, frightening the clan, who feared the monster would attack their tribe and come here to eat people.

Even Jingang was beaten like that; that thing must be enormous.

Soon, the people Ying sent out returned with news.

Ashu hurried over, and upon seeing Ying ran to report, "Ying, it's bad. Youchao Xuan and the others have truly been captured, and they're several Giants."

Inside the blazing‑bonfire house, Ying stood upright, glanced at the crowd; Nan Qinghuan had gone to the Cave to check Jingang's injuries and hadn't returned, and Axi had also left.

Within the tribe, the few doctors were all very busy.

When Ying heard that Youchao Xuan and the others had been captured, he remained neither hurried nor delayed.

"Ashu, where are they?"

"I've already sent people to follow them; that group should be from the Giant Tribe. They hold no grudge against us, so why did Yao capture Youchao Xuan?"

"Gather supplies; we'll go rescue them."

Leaving that remark, Ying turned to leave; after a few steps he suddenly added, "Don't tell Qinghuan where I'm going. Mother, the ancestors—if she asks where we are, just say I stepped out and will be back soon."

"Ah, Ying, Ying."

Here, Ying led his men away to find those Giants; he intended to meet that group in person.

After he left, Mother grew even more worried, "Ah, how could this happen? Should we send word to the Rongdi and Yao? I'm afraid Ying can't fight them alone."

Mother seemed very familiar with the Giant Tribe, and also knew Ying couldn't win; their people were all towering like trees, and it was said a fearsome monster lived among the Giants, standing as tall as a big uncle.

Ying really can't beat them.

"Ji Lei, don't rush; I'll send someone to inform Yao and the Rongdi, asking them to lend us a hand."

Here, Ying led his men to rescue Youchao Xuan and the others, but Youchao Xuan and Qingfeng had already been bound and locked inside the Cave.

When Youchao Xuan awoke, he heard a woman's angry shouting.

"Release us quickly; we are from the Ying Tribe."

"Qingfeng…"

When Youchao Xuan saw several Giants standing before them, he was startled.

They were from the Giant Tribe? He and Qingfeng had gone hunting and had only caught a brown bear, but they didn't expect to run into the Giant Tribe's people, as well as that Great Beast.

That Great Beast was larger than Jingang; Jingang, hearing its cry for help, went to rescue it and was also wounded, and now its condition is unknown.

"Youchao Xuan."

Qingfeng, seeing Youchao Xuan awake, hurried over, "Don't speak; let me find a way so we can get out together."

"Awake, you are Youchao of the Youchao Clan?"

The leading man was very tall, taller than the Rongdi and Ying, bald on top, robust, and in this cold weather he wore only some leaves for cover.

"Unbelievable!"

Youchao Xuan saw that huge face approaching, remained calm, straightened his back, tried to wrench free of the grass ropes but was powerless, only raising his head high to stare at the Giant.

"I am, why did you capture us? We are from the Ying Tribe; by capturing us, the Ying Tribe will bear a grudge against your Giant Tribe."

"Ha ha, such big talk! Are we, the Giant Tribe, still afraid of you? What is Ying? On the lands of Jiuzhou, the Giant Tribe is undeniably the foremost tribe."
