Chapter 2706

Huoming roared angrily.

Seeing that they could not defeat the Flame Martial Tribe's people, he quickly fabricated this lie.

He claimed that Qi Wu, Ye Zhangqing and the others had mistakenly entered the Black Mist Forest in a panic, their fate unknown, and that they had been following from outside, not daring to rashly go in.

Then the Black Mist Forest suddenly underwent a change, the whole forest began to move.

Unable to win, Huoming had no choice but to start thinking of ways to escape, planning to first deceive the Flame Martial Tribe into rescuing Qi Wu and the others, then he and his people would look for a chance to flee.

Under the current circumstances, a head-on fight definitely won't work.

Under Huoming's deception, the great-uncle looked doubtfully at the Black Mist Forest before him.

Indeed, the more he looked, the more it resembled; moreover, the main point was that within the Fire Spirit Tribe he did not see any trace of Ye Zhangqing and the others.

Since they weren't captured by the Fire Spirit Tribe, what Huoming said should be fine.

After all, the Fire Spirit Tribe has already taken action; if they had any chance, they would have long since captured Ye Zhangqing, Qi Wu and the others—it makes no sense for them to just stroll along with the crowd; this is hardly a leisurely walk.

Thus Huoming's words actually do have some credibility.

Mainly, this Black Mist Forest truly appeared here; this cannot be faked.

Seeing that the great-uncle was finally beginning to believe him, Huoming seized the moment to press on.

"Such a huge Black Mist Forest—how could I possibly fake it? Your top priority now should be to think of a way to rescue them."

After all the true and false, he finally managed to deceive this old fellow, which was no easy feat.

Like Huoming, many people in the Fire Spirit Tribe used the same line, wanting the Flame Martial Tribe to rescue people first.

If you delay, your young chief's life will be in danger.

Meanwhile, they were waiting for the Flame Martial Tribe's lot to enact their rescue plan, then they would look for a chance to leave.

Although the operation failed, at least they could preserve their lives, which is not bad.

Who let Qi Wu and the others carry evil aura all along? Not dying, just thinking about it feels absurd—really, they treat Black Mang Mountain as their home.

I originally thought this was a great opportunity to wipe out Ye Zhangqing and his group in one fell swoop, and even take the chance to destroy the Flame Martial Tribe.

But nobody expected the outcome to turn out like this.

From the start of the tribal encirclement and slaughter, they watched helplessly as Qi Wu and his group exuded evil from head to toe.

They couldn't kill them in the encirclement, let alone a forced breakout.

Afterward, they even charged straight into the Black Mang Mountain gorge, summoning a pack of Black Soul Beasts to make them fight a bitter battle.

Then Ye Zhangqing led his people to seize the opportunity and break through.

This was already absurd enough, but fortunately Huoming, the young chief, did not give up, leading his people in relentless pursuit, desperately chasing after them.

They thought they were about to corner them, believing they could finally finish them off this time, but who knew this bunch would again dash straight into Black Mang Mountain.

This time even more absurd, they went straight into the Black Mist Forest.

It should have been a near‑dead situation, even ten deaths with no life, yet somehow they managed to turn it around.

They even reached some unknown agreement with those Tree Ghosts, gaining their help.

These are Tree Ghosts—normally just hearing about them makes one's scalp tingle. Yet they actually managed to do this.

No one can figure out what Qi Wu and the others said to those Tree Ghosts.

Now it's even more desperate; they were directly blocked by the Flame Martial Tribe's people, and the situation instantly reversed.

In the blink of an eye they went from killers to victims.

With no other choice, these Fire Spirit Tribe people could only make up a story, urging the Flame Martial Tribe to hurry and rescue them, while they themselves seized the chance to flee.

But still, after the Fire Spirit Tribe's spiel, the Flame Martial Tribe really did shift its attention to the Black Mist Forest.

After all, their primary mission this time was to rescue people; everything else was secondary.

As for revenge, there will be plenty of chances later; the Fire Spirit Tribe is right there, they can't run away.

The old clan chief didn't hesitate much and quickly decided to rescue them first.

Meanwhile, Qi Wu and the others in the forest naturally noticed the movements outside.

At first they thought it was those Fire Spirit Tribe people again stirring up trouble.

But later, seeing the great-uncle charge ahead first, even the Flame Martial Tribe scout hiding at the forest's edge was taken aback.

"Holy shit, how did the great-uncle get here? Is he really that fierce?"

Watching the great-uncle lead the charge into the crowd with heroic bearing, that Flame Martial Tribe tribesman was dumbfounded.

The great-uncle, who usually struggles just to walk, when did he become this fierce? I've never seen anything like it.

Then, as the old clan chief led the charge, that tribesman finally realized the tribe's rescue had arrived.

The old clan chief brought people to rescue them.

Reassured, he excitedly ran back to where Qi Wu and the others were and immediately told them the news.

Hearing that his own old man had brought people to rescue them, Qi Wu was also thrilled and immediately set out to lead a charge without hesitation.

"Brothers, the chance has come—follow me and charge out, wipe out that bunch of Fire Spirit Tribe scum, avenge our grudges right now—kill!"

The old man had brought reinforcements; hearing this, Qi Wu naturally couldn't just sit idle.

He immediately rose, raised his arms and shouted; upon hearing this, the surrounding Flame Martial Tribe tribesmen also shouted in response.

Having been chased all the way, everyone naturally harbored a fire inside; now they could finally vent it, and nobody wanted to lag behind.

Soon, Qi Wu led his people out of the Black Mist Forest.

At the same time, the Fire Spirit Tribe people outside the forest, having successfully deceived the Flame Martial Tribe into going to rescue them, also began to slowly retreat right away.

They're not stupid; they naturally know such a lie can't be kept hidden for long—it will soon be exposed.

So they had best create distance before the lie is exposed, preparing to flee.

These Fire Spirit Tribe members went all out to escape.

But at this moment, the Flame Martial Tribe's group didn't care about them; everyone was focused on how to go in and rescue them, having no time to bother with the Fire Spirit Tribe.

However, just as everyone clenched their teeth, preparing to rush into the forest, they saw Qi Wu leading a throng of people charging out from within the Black Mist Forest.

The two sides directly collided head-on; seeing Qi Wu unharmed, Ye Zhangqing's group and the Flame Martial Tribe members were all stunned.

Weren't they said to have mistakenly entered the Black Mist Forest, now in extreme danger?

It doesn't look like it; how come each one is full of vigor, as if they haven't encountered any danger at all.

However, before the Flame Martial Tribe members could figure it out, the surrounding Fire Spirit Tribe people had already begun to slowly retreat.

After retreating a distance, they turned and ran all the way, not even looking back.
