Chapter 430: You Said You Want to Kill Me?

~7 min read 1,271 words

"Ha, joke. The big tribe—above all of Jiuzhou, only our Ying Tribe is the big tribe. Your Giant Tribe has few people; what exactly do you want to do?"

"Youchao Xuan, don't be stubborn. I'm taking you because you're helping us with a task. I ask you, are the tulou of your tribe built by you?"

Youchao Xuan and Clear Breeze exchanged a glance; seeing that Clear Breeze was fine, he finally relaxed. So these people came here to capture him to build houses? But when did they arrive, and why hadn't any movement been detected? "We built them; what do you want?"

"As long as it's you, fine. I'll take you back to report to the Clan Leader. The Clan Leader likes your tulou. Youchao Xuan, if you agree to go back with us, I'll release you and your female, okay?"

These Giant people have a keen eye; they originally came to capture Youchao Xuan, but they didn't expect Youchao Xuan to be out playing with that female. That worked out, so he captured them.

Just right for taking them back.

Upon hearing that she was Youchao Xuan's female, Clear Breeze's little face flushed instantly.

She looked quite shy, but they can't go there!

They must not betray Ying.

"Youchao Xuan, no—we cannot betray Ying's."

Absolutely not!

"Shut up, whether you go or not doesn't count. Once I get my stuff, we'll leave."

This man came to steal, first taking people while stealing.

Youchao Xuan was pondering how to escape; he didn't know where they were, nor whether Ying had noticed their disappearance, when the Giant Tribe people suddenly arrived here.

What exactly are they after? Soon, a thudding sound came from outside.

It was the sound of Giants walking.

"A Da"

Outside, a Giant carried a black pot inside, his face covered in pot splatter; it was hilariously amusing.

"Got it, let's go quickly, don't let Ying's people find us."

What Youchao Xuan didn't expect was that they came to steal iron pots.

Yes, iron pots.

These iron pots were originally taken back by Nan Qinghuan for the Baba Feast, and they didn't expect anyone to try stealing them.

"Got it, it's this thing—so light, can it be used for cooking?"

"Exactly, it's this thing, let's go quickly."

The tall one was very afraid of being discovered by Ying's people, so the man called A Da looked outside and said, "Go, take them all away for me."

Youchao Xuan and Clear Breeze were untied and about to be taken away; Youchao Xuan didn't want to leave, knowing that once he went to the Giant Tribe, he couldn't return.

Later… "I won't go; let me go. I'm Ying's person; if you do this, Ying won't let you off."

"Ying? Hmph, he's currently by the fire inside; he has the skill to deal with you, go."

When those words were spoken, the clan members behind them suddenly froze.

Because… the outside of the Cave was already packed with people!

"A Da, Ying Tribe people have arrived."

Those Giants were still scared; although they were tall and had the advantage, the opposing side had so many people and were wielding bow and arrow, which looked really… formidable.

"Who are you? Get out of my way."

A Da didn't know Ying and thought they were people from a nearby tribe; trying to force them in his hand, there was no way!

Ying saw those Giants and couldn't help but sneer, thinking they were some kind of people, but they turned out to be a bunch of trash!

"Weren't you looking for me? I am Ying."

"You are Ying?"

A Da stared at him in astonishment; wasn't it said that Ying didn't look that great, yet he seemed so… fierce? "You are Giant Tribe people, coming here to seize my clan members, kill my Jingang, and then want to leave?"

"Ying, stop talking to them, let Ashu chop them up."

Ashu brandished his iron knife, ready to act; Ying's gaze shifted to Clear Breeze and Youchao Xuan, who were very quiet, just waiting there for him to rescue them.

"Don't be afraid, I will save you."

"Ying, be careful; they have a monster that's very powerful."

"That monster injured Jingang; I won't forgive it. Ashu, up!"

In an instant, swish—swish—swish… the Cave echoed with long‑absent battle cries, and blood spurted everywhere.

The fighting here was exactly the ruckus, and both Rongdi in the Rongdi Tribe and Yao of the Wolf Clan received the news.

They received the distress signal sent by the ancestors.

Rongdi was roasting a fire atop the Treehouse, also roasting a few fragrant sweet potatoes, but when he heard Lone Wolf's words, he stopped roasting the sweet potatoes.

"What, Ying was attacked by the Giant Tribe?"

Lone Wolf quickly nodded, "This is a message from Ying's ancestors, it should be correct. Strange—how did the Giant Tribe come here?"

How could the Giant Tribe go to Ying Tribe? They're far apart.

Rongdi paused, "Lone Wolf, gather the people and head to Ying Tribe now; when a brother is in trouble, we must help, let's go."

"Hey, chief…"

Rongdi hurried away, and Li Xiang also saw Rongdi leave the tribe. In this harsh winter, what business does Rongdi have? "Duo Luo, where did Rongdi go?"

Duo Luo was cooking inside, and upon hearing him, hurried out. From their Treehouse they could see far; Duo Luo saw Rongdi leave and thought, "There must be something; I'll ask around."

Soon, Duo Luo clarified that something had happened to Ying Tribe.

"What?"

Li Xiang didn't want to idle either; he was worried that Nan Qinghuan might be in danger.

"Duo Luo, let's go see as well."

"We're going too?"

The Rongdi Tribe members and Yao rushed toward Ying Tribe, and after Nan Qinghuan finished stitching Jingang's wound, the sky outside grew dark.

It went dark; all around was dead silent.

"All right, Axi, apply the medicine and it'll be fine."

Axi saw Nan Qinghuan stitching the Jingang's body and was stunned speechless, "Qinghuan, the Jingang really isn't bleeding; what's going on, who could have injured the Jingang?"

Who injured the Jingang? That's something Nan Qinghuan also wants to know. The Jingang is still a big fellow; in this primitive Tribe its size is huge, it usually doesn't get hurt, but she just looked at the Jingang's wound—it was clawed and bitten by another animal.

She can be certain that this thing is larger than the Jingang.

Something must have happened; she thought about Youchao Xuan and the others who haven't returned yet, maybe… "Have they come back?"

Axi, knowing who she meant, shook her head, "No, Dashan also went out, Ying also went out, none have returned."

"All went out?"

Nan Qinghuan quickly stood up and looked at the wailing Jingang; fortunately, they were only superficial skin injuries.

However, she was still worried, because the one who wounded the Jingang was a big fellow.

This big fellow's killing power is extremely strong; perhaps it is waiting outside the Tribe, ready to rush in and harm the villagers here.

"Yes, all went out. Qinghuan, what do we do now?"

Axi was very worried that something might happen; in this cold weather, if another Tribe came to attack them, what should they do? Since arriving here, Nan Qinghuan has become very calm; she is unhurried and unflustered about anything.

She quickly stood up, looked at Axi, and hurriedly instructed her, "You take care of the Jingang while I go take a look."

"Qinghuan…"

From outside came A Mu's voice, "Qinghuan, Ashu and the others are injured."

"What happened?"
