Chapter 2692: and then title translation

The Scales Stone Tribe members naturally couldn't just stand by at this moment.

They and the Fire Spirit Tribe were already in the same boat; frankly, the Scales Stone Tribe still has to rely on the Fire Spirit Tribe.

After all, given the Scales Stone Tribe's own strength, if they fail to crush the Flame Martial Tribe this time, they'll have to rely on the Fire Spirit Tribe's protection.

Otherwise, with just their tribe's strength, they simply couldn't withstand the Flame Martial Tribe's retaliation—the Scales Stone Tribe would be the first to be wiped out.

So, the Fire Spirit Tribe's thigh right now is something they must cling to desperately; they absolutely cannot let go.

The dozen or so Scales Stone Tribe members joined the battlefield without hesitation.

Even if they steadied their formation, facing the Fire Spirit Tribe's counterattack, these Black Soul Beasts remained fearless.

This is the advantage of their simple intellect: to these Black Soul Beasts, it's like eating a delicious steamed bun; anything else is completely out of consideration.

As long as you're holding the bun, I'm going to take you down.

Unfortunately, these Fire Spirit Tribe members didn't realize this at all; for the sake of convenience in battle, many who had gotten the buns simply tucked them into their bosoms, planning to savor them slowly after the fight.

Little did they know, this approach would only make them die faster and drive these Black Soul Beasts even more berserk.

After all, once you've tucked the bun into your bosom, to these Black Soul Beasts it's no different than you trying to steal their food.

Since you're trying to steal their food, there's no doubt you'll be taken down.

So, the fiercer the Fire Spirit Tribe's counterattack, the more frenzied the Black Soul Beasts' assault becomes.

For a time, the battle reached a stalemate, with Black Soul Beasts continually being killed, while Fire Spirit Tribe members kept falling or being wounded.

At the entrance, Ye Zhangqing's group, who had been observing the situation's development, saw this scene and the Flame Martial Tribe members' eyes lit up.

The plan succeeded; with these Black Soul Beasts holding the front and tying up most of the Fire Spirit Tribe's strength, their breakout now has a much higher chance of success.

This is absolutely the best moment to strike.

Ye Zhangqing naturally understood this as well and spoke softly.

"Ready."

Hearing that, everyone promptly readied themselves; finally, with Ye Zhangqing's shout, they all shot out like arrows from a bow.

Following the previously chosen direction, they charged forward without looking back.

At the very moment Ye Zhangqing's group burst out of the Black Mang Mountain gorge, the Fire Spirit Tribe naturally noticed them immediately.

Huoming was the first to roar in anger.

"Qi Wu, stop them, quickly stop them."

Seeing the Flame Martial Tribe members charging out of the Black Mang Mountain gorge, Huoming immediately bellowed in anger.

After all they've done, now that they're at the final step, how could they let Qi Wu and the others just run away?

They absolutely must not let them escape.

Huoming roared furiously, not even bothering with the Black Soul Beast that had just been repelled beside him, and turned to chase after Qi Wu and the others.

Needless to say, these Black Soul Beasts' strangeness must be the work of the Flame Martial Tribe's people.

Although I can't fathom how the Flame Martial Tribe managed it, how could these Black Soul Beasts possibly obey and assist their breakout?

But regardless of the reason, Huoming now has only one task: to stop Qi Wu and his group, not letting them escape.

Seeing Huoming immediately lead his men in pursuit, Qi Wu's face darkened as he broke through wildly.

He really wanted to turn around and kill that guy, but given his current state, it was truly difficult to do so.

All he could do was avoid his edge for now.

As Huoming kept closing the distance, Ye Zhangqing seized the opportunity and shouted softly.

"Throw."

Although they didn't understand the words, they understood Ye Zhangqing's gesture; the Flame Martial Tribe members on either side immediately hurled the buns they had secretly prepared at Huoming and his group.

"Careful."

Seeing this, Huoming's first reaction was that it was a hidden weapon, but once he saw the white, fluffy buns in the air, he froze.

He grabbed one with his hand—it was just an ordinary bun, only very fragrant, making one want to eat it just by smelling it.

But what time is this? What does it mean for the Flame Martial Tribe to throw a few buns over?

For a moment, Huoming couldn't figure it out—were the Flame Martial Tribe people sick?

"Roar……………………"

But before he could figure it out, the next second a roar came from far to near.

Following the sound, he saw more than ten Black Soul Beasts roaring as they charged toward them.

Not understanding what these Black Soul Beasts meant, Huoming, seeing this, merely gritted his teeth and cursed.

"Damned beast."

If it weren't for these beasts causing trouble, Qi Wu and the others couldn't have broken out; they wouldn't even dare leave the Black Mang Mountain gorge, lest they be killed the moment they showed their heads.

But right now, the Fire Spirit Tribe's people have most of their energy tied up by these Black Soul Beasts.

Thus, facing the Flame Martial Tribe's breakout, they struggle to free up hands to intercept.

And yet, just as they were about to catch up to Qi Wu and the others, here come these Black Soul Beasts again, stirring up trouble.

Meanwhile, Qi Wu and his group had already charged forward without looking back, pulling the distance apart once more.

The Flame Martial Tribe members, together with Ye Zhangqing, naturally could not linger at all at this moment.

After throwing the buns, they immediately charged forward again without looking back.

The clamor of the melee behind them continued, and Huoming seemed not to have given up; after leaving some men to block those Black Soul Beasts, even with only a few at his side, he still pressed hard in pursuit.

"Damn."

Seeing this, Qi Wu really wanted to give him a deadly counterstrike.

After all, Huoming now has only a mere seven or eight Fire Spirit Tribe members beside him.

In numbers, they're even fewer than the Flame Martial Tribe.

Besides, we can only think about that—let alone the fact that everyone is wounded; once we get tangled up with Huoming and his group, we probably won't be able to get away.

Even if we could then kill a few people to vent our anger, once reinforcements from the Fire Spirit Tribe's rear arrive, the breakout opportunity we painstakingly seized would be completely gone.

So, even though Huoming is set on this huge commotion, it looks like an irrational move born of anger and agitation.

But in reality, the Flame Martial Tribe folks really dare not do anything.

Both sides continued their chase and escape; not long after, Ye Zhangqing's group successfully broke through the Fire Spirit Tribe's blockade.

The breakout was considered a success, but Huoming kept biting at our heels; even after we burst out of the encirclement, Huoming still refused to give up.

Moreover, as time passed, Huoming and his uninjured companions, being in better condition, were noticeably faster.

Seeing the distance gradually close, if this continues, being caught up is only a matter of time.
