Chapter 2701: then translation of title

They sent three tribesmen to test the truth; this is already the Scale Stone Tribe's biggest bottom line. If this doesn't work, the Scale Stone Tribe can only firmly refuse, let them do as they please.

Hearing this, looking at the icy eyes of that Scale Stone tribesman, Huoming grinned and said.

"Fine, then as you say."

Anyway, it's just a test of truth; if those three are unharmed, we'll charge in and wipe out the Flame Martial Tribe in one fell swoop.

It's basically just a trial to see if our guess is right or wrong.

Huoming nodded, and the Scale Stone side also breathed a sigh of relief, but regarding the three tribesmen preparing to enter the Black Mist Forest, the other Scale Stone people still said with solemn faces.

"Be careful; if anything happens, the tribe will take good care of your families."

"Okay."

Hearing that, the three simply nodded; at this point, saying more would be pointless.

Truthfully, no one expected things to reach this point; who would have thought the Flame Martial Tribe's people would be so hard to kill?

Although there were only about ten of them, even if their strength wasn't weak, the Fire Spirit Tribe had almost dispatched half of its experts, yet still they repeatedly let the Flame Martial Tribe's people escape the encirclement.

Now they're even hiding in the Black Mist Forest, leaving everyone with no recourse.

This turned out completely unlike what was expected, so it's no wonder the Scale Stone Tribe's people feel mixed emotions.

After a few brief words, the three Scale Stone tribesmen dove into the Black Mist Forest.

Moving through the forest, the three were extremely careful, not daring to take a wrong step.

After all, a misstep would cost them their lives.

"The black mist has dispersed."

As the Black Mist Forest began to move, the three entered and saw that the poisonous mist that had long shrouded the forest had almost completely dissipated, scattered along the way.

They quickly noticed the change; while hopeful that since the black mist could disperse, they hoped the Tree Ghost wouldn't attack now.

After all, this is a special period.

But just as they thought that, the next second, an ancient tree beside them suddenly whipped its slender trunk at them like a lash.

"Careful."

The three sensed the danger instantly, reacting extremely fast, yet their hearts sank.

This is a Tree Ghost; our earlier guess was completely wrong.

The Tree Ghosts in the Black Mist Forest haven't changed despite the forest's movement; they remain free to act, unrestricted.

Having confirmed this, the three Scale Stone tribesmen had no hesitation and immediately tried to flee outward.

The Black Mist Forest is dangerous precisely because entering is easy, but getting out safely is hard.

You can't just leave whenever you want.

So, even though they dodged the attack immediately and charged toward the forest's edge,

but the next second another Tree Ghost blocked their path.

For a moment, the three Scale Stone tribesmen felt their hearts go cold.

"My life is over."

Filled with despair, they then fell into the Tree Ghosts' encirclement.

Even a single Tree Ghost's strength surpasses the three of them, let alone the fact that there are far more than one around.

The outcome of this battle is obvious; the three didn't even have a chance to leave the Black Mist Forest.

And the commotion in the forest was naturally seen by Huoming and the others outside.

The Fire Spirit Tribe members merely looked grim, while the Scale Stone Tribe people felt a deep sorrow.

After all, the dead were their own tribesmen, forced into the Black Mist Forest by Huoming, and now they all died inside.

They naturally harbored resentment, but being weaker, the Scale Stone Tribe could only swallow their dissatisfaction, daring not to show a trace.

As for the Fire Spirit Tribe, they didn't think so much; since the Tree Ghosts weren't restricted by the forest's movement, the Black Mist Forest is absolutely off-limits.

Those three Scale Stone tribesmen just now serve as a warning.

Not long after they entered the forest, they were dead and gone, becoming nourishment for the woods.

Clearly, the Tree Ghosts in the Black Mist Forest remain ferocious; entering there is tantamount to seeking death.

But Huoming couldn't understand why the Flame Martial Tribe's people were unharmed inside the Black Mist Forest.

The Scale Stone Tribe couldn't even last a tea's time, yet the Flame Martial Tribe's people stayed unharmed for several Shíchén—this is absurd.

Could the Tree Ghosts be recognizing people? Impossible.

One shouldn't enter the forest, but now the woods keep moving; constantly following them isn't a solution either.

In contrast, the Flame Martial Tribe members inside the forest appeared quite at ease.

The whole forest is moving; they need do nothing—aside from not having eaten, they just need to rest and heal.

As for Huoming and the others outside, they posed no threat; instead, they resembled guards escorting them home.

They dared not enter the forest, only following its outskirts, trailing along.

"This Black Mist Forest can actually move."

"I was startled."

"These Tree Ghosts are truly absurd."

With no threat, everyone's mood naturally relaxed, and they chatted idly to pass the time.

Otherwise, Ye Zhangqing would have been cooking at the stove, and everyone would indeed be hungry.

But there's no choice; for now we must first ensure that the group of 'living ancestors' in the forest are fed and satisfied.

They also had to endure it.

Leaning against the trunks of many Tree Ghosts, they felt no movement of the forest; the whole process was extremely steady.

Moreover, the black mist in the forest has completely dissipated, so there's no need to expend effort resisting its toxic corrosion, saving considerable effort.

"Those bastards of the Fire Spirit Tribe, once I return to the tribe and heal my wounds, I'll tear them apart alive."

"Yes, this grudge must be avenged."

He was already thinking about revenge; anyway, given the current situation, returning safely to the Flame Martial Tribe is practically a sure thing, so there's nothing to worry about.

Even if the speed is slow, as long as we can get back, that's fine.

When the time comes, we must demand an explanation from the Fire Spirit Tribe.

As for the Stone Scale Tribe, in the minds of the Flame Martial Tribe's people, we don't even need to give them an explanation—just wipe them out directly.

The strength disparity is huge; we can't be bothered to talk nonsense with you.

While everyone was chatting idly, Ye Zhangqing's side kept having pot after pot of delicious dishes come out of the pot.

As soon as they came out of the pot, the many Tree Ghosts around stretched out their branches, rolled up the divided food, and began to feast heartily.

The Tree Ghosts also reached a consensus, no longer fighting over food as before; since Ye Zhangqing had divided the food, each Tree Ghost gets one share, nobody takes more, and it's fairly mutual—this is the best solution.
