Chapter 2707: I'm really in a tough spot

At the moment Qi Wu appeared with his people, Huoming and the other members of the Fire Spirit Tribe felt their hearts sink.

Although seeing the vigorous Qi Wu and his people A, Huoming was angry to the point of his teeth itching.

They had pursued and killed all the way, but not only had they failed to kill anyone, now they even felt that Qi Wu and his gang were getting more spirited the more they were killed.

What is this? The more they were killed, the more spirited they became, yet there was absolutely no effect.

But anger aside, Huoming was still very measured; he knew that now was not the time to continue entangling with Qi Wu and his group, and he had to break free, otherwise later he might not be able to leave even if he wanted to.

So, when the Elder Clan Chief, Third Great-Uncle and the others saw Huoming, neither side had a chance to speak yet, and they were full of suspicion.

Huoming and his son, without a word, immediately turned and led their people away.

Come on, in this situation, could they possibly entangle with these people of the Flame Martial Tribe?

If they kept fighting, they would likely be wiped out entirely here.

So Huoming and his son were quite smart; they should run, and they indeed had to run.

"Stop."

But as soon as Huoming and his son turned around, the next second Qi Wu spotted them; hearing his angry roar, they didn't even have time to speak to the old man before he immediately gave chase.

Having chased and killed them all the way from the Fire Spirit Tribe, now that the tribe's reinforcements have arrived, this bastard wants to run—how could that be possible? Qi Wu refuses to agree to anything.

On the spot, he wanted to lead the people to catch up, but facing Qi Wu's angry shout, Huoming and his son not only did not stop, they actually sped up their steps even more.

Come on, I'm not an idiot; even if I were, in this situation I absolutely could not stop.

Is stopping just asking for death?

And with Qi Wu's angry roar, the Elder Clan Chief of the Flame Martial Tribe, Third Great-Uncle and the others also gradually came to their senses.

Seeing Qi Wu and his people fleeing, they didn't have time to think much and immediately gave chase.

"Stop for me."

"You bunch of bastards, still trying to run now?"

"Chase them, don't let them get away."

The Flame Martial Tribe's people pursued and killed all the way, while the Fire Spirit Tribe's people, heads down and silent, just ran wildly.

Everyone was busy chasing the Fire Spirit Tribe's people, but Ye Zhangqing was instead left behind at the original spot.

In the panic, even Qi Wu and his group forgot that Ye Zhangqing was still there.

Fortunately, at that moment, Tianlin, Miao Qianqian and their group quickly came up and surrounded him.

Nobody cared about the Black Mist Forest or Tree Ghosts or anything like that.

At this moment, seeing Ye Zhangqing safe and sound, each one was extremely excited, without the slightest hesitation they directly rushed into the forest and ran toward Ye Zhangqing.

However, just as they entered the forest, those Tree Ghosts did not know Tianlin, Miao Qianqian and the others, and immediately launched an attack.

Those tree trunks, as sharp as swords, suddenly smashed toward Tianlin, Miao Qianqian and them.

They hadn't even realized what was happening when the attack already came down upon their heads.

Fortunately, Ye Zhangqing shouted in time.

"Stop, don't hurt them."

Only then did the Tree Ghosts in the Black Mist Forest stop their attack.

Seeing the tree trunks hanging above their heads, Tianlin, Miao Qianqian and the others were stunned in place, cold sweat pouring down their backs.

Just a moment ago, they were that close to death, and everyone felt they were going to die.

If it weren't for Ye Zhangqing's timely shout, they would probably have been smashed to death right then.

"My goodness, what the hell is this thing."

Tianlin wiped away a handful of cold sweat and said.

But before they could even feel relieved, they took a few steps and arrived in front of Ye Zhangqing; after confirming he was unharmed, they finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Are you okay?"

"No."

"That's good, but you scared us to death."

"Yeah, hearing the news we didn't know what to do."

Tianlin and the others were genuinely concerned about him, which Ye Zhangqing could also feel, and he genuinely showed a faint smile.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, at that moment Ye Zhangqing again felt the will of the Tree Ghosts in the forest descending upon him.

This was something they wanted to say to him.

After greeting Tianlin and the others, Ye Zhangqing's mind and spirit established a connection with those Tree Ghosts.

His mind and spirit sank, and he quickly understood what those Tree Ghosts meant.

These Tree Ghosts, surprisingly, wanted to consult with Ye Zhangqing about settling the Black Mist Forest outside the Flame Martial Tribe in the future.

The meaning is also simple: they wanted to be closer to Ye Zhangqing so as to make it easier to get meals in the future.

Because Ye Zhangqing is now safe, and along the way he has also, according to their previous agreement, prepared a big meal for those Tree Ghosts every Shíchén.

Logically, by now their cooperation should have ended.

These Tree Ghosts no longer need to protect Ye Zhangqing, and Ye Zhangqing no longer needs to prepare meals for them as previously planned.

Neither side has violated the agreement; it was naturally dissolved.

However, for these Tree Ghosts, it is naturally not what they want.

Although the cooperation has ended, the meals Ye Zhangqing made are truly the more you eat, the more you want to eat; you simply can't get enough.

Seeing that they were about to part with this kid soon, the Tree Ghosts of the Black Mist Forest naturally were unwilling.

So they simply decided to discuss with Ye Zhangqing moving the entire Black Mist Forest to the Flame Martial Tribe.

That would make getting meals even more convenient in the future.

Of course, it's not a free ride on Ye Zhangqing's meals; if he ever needs help, they can come find them, and they will not refuse.

For example, killing a person, wiping out a tribe, etc., there's no problem.

Facing the request of these tree ghosts, Ye Zhangqing hesitated a moment, but in the end he did not refuse.

After all, with these tree ghosts around, his own safety could also be guaranteed to some extent.

No one else could command these tree ghosts; only he could.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing nod and agree, these tree ghosts immediately waved many trunks, as if cheering.

Tianlin, Miao Qianqian, and the others beside him looked on, somewhat bewildered.

How did they suddenly start cheering and jumping for joy like this?

Meanwhile, at the same time Ye Zhangqing reached an agreement with these tree ghosts, Qi Wu and the others who had gone to pursue the Fire Spirit Tribe returned after more than a Shíchén.

However, their faces looked somewhat grim, as if they had not caught up.

"These damn things, each one runs pretty fast."

"Yeah, we were just about to catch up."

Indeed, that's exactly the case; even if everyone gave chase with all their might, they only managed to catch a few small fry.

Like Huoming and his son, as well as the strong ones of the Fire Spirit Tribe, they let them get away and failed to catch them.

After venting, the great-granduncle and the Elder Clan Chief then came before Ye Zhangqing.

Seeing that Ye Zhangqing was unharmed, the two smiled and offered a few words of comfort.

Although they failed to catch the Fire Spirit Tribe members, Ye Zhangqing being unharmed was also the best outcome.

Facing the concern of the great-granduncle and the Elder Clan Chief, Ye Zhangqing smiled and responded with a few words.

After finishing his own matter, Ye Zhangqing also told everyone about the tree ghosts' intention to settle the Black Mist Forest in the Flame Martial Tribe.

After all, this matter still required the agreement of the Flame Martial Tribe's members.
