Chapter 57: The Tyrannosaurus Rex Is His Pet

I have to say, after Ying took Nan Qinghuan outside the Cave, he summoned a Mammoth to lead them out of the Tribe, and this was her first time leaving the Tribe.

It turned out the Tribe's exit was actually beneath a cliff… When the Mammoth brought them to a towering altar, Nan Qinghuan was completely captivated by the scenery, a view she had never seen in the Tribe; everywhere were gigantic Suoluo Trees, a species that had vanished many years ago.

As a biologist, she couldn't help but want to pick some leaves to preserve, to see how many years ago the Ancient People were, but… suddenly, she actually heard… "Wooo…"

In the nearby thicket there was a huge commotion; she heard it and her face turned pale, "Ying, what animal is making that sound?"

Ying saw she was frightened and gently reassured, "Don't be afraid, that's an ugly dragon eating something."

"Ugly dragon?"

She was about to ask more when, suddenly, many tribe members she had never seen appeared nearby; each was tall and robust, their upper bodies clad in a layer of black material, like clothing but not quite, their lower bodies in Beast Skin, each with Totem markings on their faces, looking ferocious.

On closer look, there seemed to be over a hundred people.

They stood in a line, each bearing a Bow and arrow on their backs, then respectfully knelt on one knee before Ying, saying, "Bow to the Clan Leader."

The crowd instantly knelt and paid respects to Ying; Nan Qinghuan was stunned, seeing Ying look down on the men as if ruling the world, and she couldn't help but ask, "Who are they?"

"Huaner, don't be afraid; they are the Tribe's warriors. Listen, she, Nan Qinghuan, an Ape Tribe member, is Ying's female."

Ying publicly announced her status; the warriors looked up and gave her a respectful glance, when suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, "I will kill you, foreigner!"

In an instant, the man brandished a Spear and lunged at Nan Qinghuan; she was about to dodge when—clack! —Ying sprang up, his long leg delivering a powerful kick to the man, and the man toppled to the ground, shouting, "Ying, she is a witch!"

The man was immediately seized and forced to kneel, Nan Qinghuan's face turned ashen; she never imagined that people everywhere would try to kill her—damn it, this place can't be stayed.

Ying saw he was silent and thought she was terrified, "Huaner, don't be afraid; with me here, no one can hurt you."

Seeing Ying protect her so fiercely made her feel even worse; she grabbed his arm and said, "Ying, why don't you let me go? I don't want you to become enemies with the Tribe."

She hoped to use this chance to get Ying to release her, so she wouldn't have to flee; whatever happened between them could just be considered a spring dream.

But her words completely enraged Ying; he gripped her hand tightly and harshly said, "Huaner, stop saying things like that. You are my female; I will not let you go."

Indeed, he didn't let go.

Nan Qinghuan fell silent instantly, and the escape plan she had barely suppressed began to sprout again in her mind.

Soon, the man was dragged to Ying's side and forced to kneel; Ying squinted slightly and looked down at the man, "Ji, who gave you the nerve to harm Ying's female?"

The man called Ji glared viciously at Nan Qinghuan, "Ying, don't be fooled by her. She is a different‑eyed person, a disaster. The Tribe was flooded last night, all because of her."

"Shut up. Don't you want to live? Then feed her to the ugly dragon."

As soon as he said that, Ying produced a bamboo leaf and gently blew on it near his lips; instantly, the ugly dragon on the other side heard the Summoning and raced toward them, its frantic charge causing the ground to tremble.

"Ying, what is that?"

When Nan Qinghuan saw with her own eyes the animal sprinting toward them, her legs went completely weak; it turned out to be…

Well, would you look at that—Tyrannosaurus Rex!

That Tyrannosaurus Rex was over ten meters tall, massive in size; was that creature just now eating leaves? "Wooo…"

Seeing the ugly dragon appear, Ji was terrified and immediately begged for mercy, "Ying, let me go, I was wrong, let me go."

Ying straightened his back, stared at the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and kept making clicking sounds with his mouth; instantly, the dinosaur's tail swept toward Ji.

"Don't eat me…"

In an instant, Ji was scooped up by the Tyrannosaurus Rex's tail, then thrown into its mouth to be chewed.

Crunch…

Fresh blood streamed into its mouth.

Nan Qinghuan closed her eyes, not wanting to watch it all; it was too gory, hardly something a human would do. Though she wasn't a saint, that man didn't deserve death.

Slurp slurp, one mouth wasn't enough for the Tyrannosaurus Rex to fill its teeth; after it finished it wanted more. Ying saw through its behavior and kept issuing instructions, and only then did the dinosaur pucker its mouth and shake its hindquarters, heading into the thicket, soon vanishing in the dense forest.

Nan Qinghuan's legs went weak; I have to say, what kind of person is Ying, how can he control a Tyrannosaurus Rex to do his bidding? This man is incredible.

Dusk hung low, the full moon curved like a hook.

In the vast thicket, bonfires blazed; that night Ying Tribe held a grand bonfire celebration. Since Nan Qinghuan arrived, the tribe's smiles have increased, and they have completely abandoned eating raw meat, switching entirely to Roasted Meat.

Under the roaring bonfire, the roasting of meat and the applying of sauces were bustling; tribe members broke into joyful dances, and some sought mates, making the scene very lively and harmonious.

Ying was listening to Dashan's report about the outside situation; when he saw several tribe members' bodies reduced to bare skeletons, a fierce glint crossed his eyes, "Dashan, send the ugly dragon to destroy Rongdi's water trench."

Those who dared to eat him, he will make the Rongdi Tribe's people die of thirst!

"Yes, Clan Leader."

"Clan Leader, something's wrong."

Nearby, Axi and A Mu hurried over, "Qinghuan, Qinghuan, she fell into the water."

"What?"

When Ying arrived at the riverbank, many women were anxiously gathered there; they had just been washing utensils with Nan Qinghuan, but then… "Ying, you're finally here, what should we do? She's been down there for a long time?"

These Ancient People rarely know how to swim; they have an innate fear and reverence for water. Ying saw the dark, churning water and a pair of Nan Qinghuan's Shoes on the bank; without a word, he leapt into the icy river with a splash.

"Ying, be careful."

The moon was full; inside the Tribe, chaos from Nan Qinghuan's plunge turned everything into a mess, and she, drenched, now stood at the Tribe's exit.

She shone a flashlight, and a magical bird guided the way; this time she would definitely escape.

The bird led her correctly; though the night was dangerous, she was fully prepared, and now she could determine that she was moving farther away from Ying's Tribe, finally seeing the dawn, which turned out to be…
