Chapter 2700: Could It Be True?

The Black Mist Forest had inexplicably moved; watching this, Huoming gritted his teeth in anger, completely unable to figure out what was happening.

This is a whole forest; since he could remember, it has always been here, never moved an inch—how could it possibly walk?

Nevertheless, Huoming had no intention of giving up.

The main reason is that the feud has already broken out; the Fire Spirit Tribe and the Scale Stone Tribe have no way back, and turning hostile with the Flame Martial Tribe is inevitably the result.

The best course of action right now is to simply kill Qi Wu and his group.

First, Qi Wu is the young clan chief of the Flame Martial Tribe, the sole heir; killing him would deal an absolutely huge blow to the entire Flame Martial Tribe.

Second, the tribesmen accompanying Qi Wu this time are all strong warriors of the Flame Martial Tribe.

It is clearly arranged by his father, just to protect him.

Killing these people would strike the Flame Martial Tribe's strength with immediate effect.

That is why Huoming will spare no effort, using every possible means to kill Qi Wu and his party, absolutely not allowing them to return safely to the Flame Martial Tribe.

He let out a low shout; Huoming was about to lead the men in pursuit when a cry of surprise came from beside him.

"Huh, where did the Black Mist Forest go?"

Looking toward the sound, it was the Fire Spirit Tribe Clan Chief returning with his people; his reaction was exactly the same as Huoming's earlier—seeing where the dense forest should be, now an empty clearing, the Fire Spirit Tribe Clan Chief also wore a bewildered expression.

Such a huge Black Mist Forest—where did it go? This shouldn't happen.

Facing his old man's bewildered stare, Huoming gave a helpless, gritting‑teeth remark.

"It's already run off—stop the nonsense, hurry and chase, or it'll get away."

Huh???

As soon as the words fell, Huoming immediately led the people in hot pursuit toward the direction the Black Mist Forest had gone.

Meanwhile, the Fire Spirit Tribe Clan Chief and the others were still a bit slow to react; just turning their heads, they faintly saw a corner of the Black Mist Forest.

He was completely dumbfounded on the spot—could an entire forest really have run away?

"How could the Black Mist Forest move? This shouldn't happen."

The Fire Spirit Tribe Clan Chief also looked bewildered, but Huoming had already led the men in pursuit; seeing this, he had no time to think and hurriedly followed.

The Black Mist Forest's speed is not fast; compared to us Barbarian God Tribe, it's practically crawling.

Even after being stunned for half a day, we still caught up to the moving Black Mist Forest in just a few steps.

But what's the point of catching up? Nobody dared to go inside; we could only walk slowly along the outside of the Black Mist Forest.

"Young Clan Chief, what should we do now?"

"Following a moving forest isn't a solution either—who knows where this Black Mist Forest is headed."

Facing the tribesmen's questions, Huoming also felt at a loss, momentarily without an idea.

The Black Mist Forest has inexplicably started moving—what can we do now?

Trying to encircle it is obviously impossible; the Black Mist Forest keeps moving, and constantly trailing it isn't a solution either.

Just when Huoming had no idea what to do, suddenly a Scale Stone Tribe member spoke up.

"Everyone, although we don't know why the Black Mist Forest suddenly started moving, while it's moving, will the Tree Ghosts inside still attack us? We…"

Before that Scale Stone Tribe person could finish speaking, everyone present already understood his meaning.

The Black Mist Forest is dangerous mainly because of the Tree Ghosts within it.

After all, the poisonous black mist, as long as it's not a specific period, is something the Barbarian God Tribe can easily handle.

Therefore, the Tree Ghosts are one of the true reasons the Black Mist Forest has become a Forbidden Land.

Normally, the Black Mist Forest stays still, and those Tree Ghosts can move freely inside it; but now that the forest is moving, could this cause some change?

If the Tree Ghosts' threat were gone, we would naturally have nothing to fear and could simply charge into the Black Mist Forest, capture those Flame Martial Tribe people with our own hands, or slay them on the spot.

With so many of us here, dealing with those dozen or so Flame Martial Tribe members is no problem at all.

Upon hearing this, everyone first froze, then Huoming's eyes lit up.

"This is a great idea; if this guess is true, we could directly solve everything—no need for the hassle of encircling."

"A permanent solution—just kill them outright."

"But no one can guarantee whether this guess is true or false—who should go in to test it?"

Everyone obviously realizes this problem; such a life‑risking task—who would willingly stake their life on a trial? This isn't a joke.

So, when Huoming cast his gaze upon them, everyone present fell into silence.

"Saying it is one thing, but actually acting on it is another—after all, this is a matter of life and death."

"What, nobody's willing?"

He glanced around, saw no one step forward, Huoming's face darkened, and he spoke displeased.

Still, everyone remained silent; seeing this, Huoming didn't bother with more talk and immediately turned his gaze to the Scale Stone Tribe party.

Sensing Huoming's gaze upon them, the Scale Stone Tribe members felt their hearts sink; before they could speak, Huoming spoke first.

"All along the way, your Scale Stone Tribe hasn't lifted a finger; this matter is fundamentally about avenging your Scale Stone Tribe—Qi Wu led people to attack your tribe, and I, the Fire Spirit Tribe, am helping you stand up."

"Now, the Fire Spirit Tribe has contributed both people and effort; your Scale Stone Tribe surely won't have contributed nothing, right?"

"This… … Young Clan Chief, we… …"

Upon hearing that, the leading Scale Stone Tribe elder opened his mouth to explain, but Huoming wouldn't listen at all and cut him off directly.

"There's no 'but' about it—since we're all in the same boat now, everyone should contribute; your Scale Stone Tribe people should go."

Everyone fears the Tree Ghosts in the Black Mist Forest, but now that the forest has suddenly moved, someone needs to give it a try.

The Fire Spirit Tribe people dare not go, so the natural choice is the Scale Stone Tribe—after all, their tribe is weak.

Such cannon‑fodder duty is obviously best suited for them.

Huoming coldly stared at the Scale Stone Tribe party, giving them no chance to refuse.

Faced with such a cold stare, the Scale Stone Tribe party remained silent for a while, until finally someone spoke.

「Young Clan Chief, just need to test authenticity, I am willing to bring two brothers in, also hope Young Clan Chief does not make things difficult for others. 」

Unable to refuse, then we can only make selective sacrifices; it's still better than the whole army being annihilated.

Let the three enter, test while moving, will the Tree Ghost of the Black Mist Forest still launch an attack?

After this person of the Scale Stone Tribe finished speaking, a pair of eyes stared fixedly at Huoming, waiting for his reply.
