Chapter 2702: Almost Home

Within the Black Mist Forest, Ye Zhangqing and his companions together with the tree ghosts could be said to be peaceful ages, a scene of harmony and tranquility.

The entire Black Mist Forest, under the tree ghosts' control, slowly moved toward the direction of the Flame Martial Tribe.

Throughout the process, Ye Zhangqing and his companions didn't need to worry at all.

Even the Fire Spirit Tribe group outside the forest need not worry; they dare not enter, and even if they did, many tree ghosts would deal with them.

Ye Zhangqing's sole task was to promise the tree ghosts their food.

Compared to the peace and harmony inside the Black Mist Forest, the people of the Fire Spirit Tribe and Scale Stone Tribe outside grew increasingly anxious.

At first, nobody reacted, but as the Black Mist Forest kept moving forward, someone soon realized that its direction was none other than straight toward the Flame Martial Tribe.

Someone said this, and for a moment everyone fell silent.

Especially Huoming, he roared in anger, unable to accept it.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible—how could these tree ghosts possibly obey Qi Wu and his men?"

Huoming absolutely did not believe that Qi Wu and his men had the ability to command these tree ghosts.

But who would believe that now? If it weren't for the tree ghosts acting, could this Black Mist Forest possibly be heading toward the Flame Martial Tribe?

This clearly amounts to escorting the Flame Martial Tribe group all the way home.

Although we don't know what means the Flame Martial Tribe used to gain the tree ghosts' support, the facts now speak for themselves.

At least the tree ghosts have indeed helped the Flame Martial Tribe people.

Only see the Fire Spirit Tribe and Scale Stone Tribe—each person from these two major tribes had a complex expression, different thoughts, unknown what they were thinking.

As for Huoming, he walked outside the forest with a grim face, gritted his teeth and remained silent for a long while, then raised his head and shouted loudly.

"Tree ghosts, whatever the Flame Martial Tribe gave you, my Fire Spirit Tribe is willing to give double—anything."

Huoming didn't know what the Flame Martial Tribe gave the tree ghosts to make them lend aid; this had never happened before.

Tree ghosts helping the Barbarian God Tribe? That's no joke—yet now the joke has become real.

Huoming simply wasn't resigned; no matter how much the Flame Martial Tribe gave the tree ghosts, he was willing to offer double.

Not only because he wanted to kill Qi Wu and the others, but also because Huoming knew that if he could truly obtain the tree ghosts' aid, it would bring great benefit to the entire Fire Spirit Tribe.

Instantly it could raise the Fire Spirit Tribe's strength by a notch.

Huoming is no fool; he could think of this, and the other tribespeople likewise.

Therefore, upon hearing Huoming's words, the surrounding Fire Spirit Tribe members had no objections; on the contrary, they all supported his statement.

Even if the price were greater, as long as the Fire Spirit Tribe could manage it, they would not refuse.

But as Huoming's roar faded, there was not the slightest response from within the Black Mist Forest; those tree ghosts seemed as good as dead.

They simply had no intention of paying heed to Huoming; this made Huoming's teeth itch with anger.

On what grounds, on what grounds can Qi Wu do it but Huoming cannot?

What exactly did these tree ghosts see in the Flame Martial Tribe that they chose it and not their Fire Spirit Tribe?

Whatever the Flame Martial Tribe can give, the Fire Spirit Tribe can also give; whatever Qi Wu can give, Huoming can give even more.

But no matter how angry Huoming gets, ignoring him is ignoring him; the tree ghosts in the Black Mist Forest simply don't want to deal with him.

Huoming did not give up; he followed outside the Black Mist Forest, shouting angrily all the way, using every means.

He even brought out his family's wealth.

The Qi Wu and company inside the forest, hearing Huoming constantly raise his conditions, each higher than the last, couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement.

"This Fire Spirit Tribe is really rich."

"You think? The Fire Spirit Tribe made a huge fortune a thousand years ago."

"You wouldn't know this, but I've heard before that the Fire Spirit Tribe has some connection with the higher authorities."

"What connection?"

"I don't know what it is, but there definitely is one."

"This Huoming is really a spendthrift—his conditions aren't just selling off the entire Fire Spirit Tribe."

"You don't understand—if this guy manages to persuade the tree ghosts, he'll turn around and seize our Flame Martial Tribe."

"The problem is he doesn't understand."

Everyone had no worry at all that the tree ghosts would defect; seeing Ye Zhangqing busy at the stove, everyone felt full of confidence.

Huoming couldn't produce anything of equal value; the tree ghosts simply wouldn't pay him any heed.

And indeed that's the case; after receiving no response all along, finally a Fire Spirit Tribe member couldn't help but speak up.

"Young Clan Chief, if we keep going, we'll soon reach the Flame Martial Tribe."

We've been following the Black Mist Forest for how long? Just a few more steps and we'll be home—what now, exactly?

Upon hearing that, Huoming didn't even respond; he just clenched his teeth and stayed silent, unwilling to accept it.

"Damn it, what means did the Flame Martial Tribe people use? These are the Black Mist Forest's tree ghosts!"

Having the tree ghosts escort us home while taking the whole Black Mist Forest along—such an outrageous thing, probably only the Flame Martial Tribe could pull off.

Before this, Huoming had never even heard of such a thing.

And his tribespeople's thought is simple: the closer we get to the Flame Martial Tribe, the more trouble it will be if their reinforcements arrive.

Given the Flame Martial Tribe Elder Clan Chief's protective nature, he definitely won't let it rest; plus these tree ghosts, whether we can escape is uncertain.

Some Fire Spirit Tribe members already had second thoughts, but Huoming was unwilling, so he delayed agreeing.

But morale is already low, hearts are not united; continuing like this will likely yield no good outcome.

At the same time, the concerns of some Fire Spirit Tribe members are not without reason.

At this moment, inside the Flame Martial Tribe, the Elder Clan Chief evidently had already learned of his foolish son's mishap.

Who would have thought that a mere Fire Spirit Chicken Championship would stir up such a huge disturbance.

That foolish lad almost died in the Fire Spirit Tribe.

The people of the Fire Spirit Tribe are really bold; they actually still dare to take action against his Flame Martial Tribe.

After hearing the news, the Elder Clan Chief, without saying another word, immediately summoned the people of the tribe, preparing to set out for a rescue.

As the tribe's sole heir, the Elder Clan Chief naturally could not stand by and let Qi Wu come to harm.

Moreover, the Fire Spirit Tribe is clearly targeting their entire Flame Martial Tribe.

If they kill Qi Wu, they will certainly not let the Flame Martial Tribe off either.

Since the Fire Spirit Tribe wants to fight, the Flame Martial Tribe has nothing to say; we'll just accompany them.

To the Barbarian God Tribe, they have never feared these things; moreover, the two sides have long-held grudges, so the Elder Clan Chief didn't even need to say much—with just a word, the entire Flame Martial Tribe was already filled with fighting spirit.

Even the women wished they could go kill a few of those Fire Spirit Tribe scum.
