Chapter 116: It's your turn, who asked you to beat me up so good!

~9 min read 1,713 words

Someone died in the tribe.

It wasn't just one person who died.

This matter quickly drew the attention of all the elders.

Including Babier, eight figures appeared one after another at the scene.

As for why, although there are nine elders in the tribe, only eight figures showed up.

That's because one of the elders was among those involved in the incident.

Ge Wafa.

Tribal elder, responsible for hunting giant sandworms in the tribe and handling subsequent sales and transactions.

He and Babier are thorns in each other's eyes, and their conflicts have happened more than once.

And now.

His death state was extremely gruesome.

One saw Ge Wafa's corpse hung upside down from a tree that suddenly sprouted inside the tent; thick vines like a cocoon tightly bound him, and most bizarrely, a gorgeous dripping red flower grew from his mouth. Looking at Ge Wafa's appearance, it seemed his blood had been completely devoured by that red flower, and the skull exposed from the vines was already withered like a skeleton.

Because they feared this strange plant might be poisonous, no one dared to lower Ge Wafa's corpse for the time being.

After several elders stared at each other for a while.

Then a young, beautiful female elder broke the silence, and as soon as she spoke, her target pointed directly at Babier: "Babier, was it you who sent someone to do this?"

"Te Ya, you need to speak with evidence."

Babier, who was publicly pointed out as the murderer, showed no panic, narrowed her eyes and said: "I admit that I indeed have many conflicts with Ge Wafa, but I really did not send anyone to kill him; moreover, if I wanted to kill him, why would I do it in the tribe? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"

That made sense.

But it couldn't dispel Te Ya's suspicion: "I heard you recently hired a pale-faced kid with a Grass Element Divine Eye; judging by Ge Wafa's death, maybe it was that Grass Element Energy-wielding pale-faced kid who did it."

"Him?"

"Pfft, hahaha, Te Ya, are you trying to laugh me to death?"

"Just based on his talent of almost peeing his pants at the sight of the tribe's saber, do you think it's possible?"

Babier said gloomily: "Don't think having a Vision makes you invincible; over the years, haven't we killed plenty of people with Visions? And you still don't know what level Ge Wafa's martial arts are? Given his ability, how strong would someone have to be to kill him before he could even draw his blade? Don't you have a sense of that?"

This is a real problem right in front of us.

No reason.

A wave of panic suddenly spread among the elders.

Among them, Te Ya was the most panicked.

In the tribe, Ge Wafa, whose martial prowess ranked among the top few, was her staunchest supporter, and she had already agreed that once she became the matriarch, she would marry Ge Wafa and they would share the tribe's authority together.

Now Ge Wafa is dead.

She directly lost her strongest martial asset.

With the matriarchal succession struggle becoming increasingly fierce, her situation would thus become perilous.

Regarding this.

She still suspected that Babier was behind this.

Because if Ge Wafa died, the person who would benefit the most would be her.

However, she never expected that.

Babier was also completely clueless at this moment.

She really hadn't sent anyone to kill Ge Wafa.

It wasn't that she didn't want to get rid of Ge Wafa.

It was simply because she had no subordinate strong enough in martial arts.

As the tribal elder specifically in charge of hunting giant sandworms, Ge Wafa's martial strength could rank among the top few in the whole tribe.

Just thinking that someone could silently kill him alone.

Babier, who originally still had a hint of excitement, instantly felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, and she also developed deep worries about her own safety.

Being able to kill Ge Wafa also meant that this person could easily slay any of the elders present using the same method.

"Moreover, eleven other people died unnaturally, and their death states were similar to Ge Wafa's."

The speaker was a burly man with white hair.

After saying that, he gave Babier a meaningful glance: "Those few people all participated in the kidnapping of your little pale-faced one."

Upon hearing that.

Even the two elders who supported Babier turned their gazes toward her.

Including those two who kept insisting that Luo De was the killer of the patrol team, the common point among these victims is too obvious.

All of them point to Luo De.

This left Babier unable to even help Luo De turn a blind eye if she wanted to; she could only watch as he was shoved around like a prisoner and brought over.

Just like before.

Luo De still had that evasive, dodgy look; when facing those elders' cannibalistic gazes, he couldn't stay calm, constantly looking at Babier, hoping she would come to his rescue.

"Is it this kid?"

Seeing Luo De's appearance, the previously certain Te Ya immediately furrowed her brows.

Such an appearance hardly looks like someone who would dare assassinate a tribal elder; it's exactly like those bookish idiots from the Academy.

Oh, this guy is just a bookish idiot from the Academy, so it's fine. However, Te Ya might be fooled by Luo De's acting.

That doesn't mean everyone will be fooled by Luo De's appearance.

Earlier, that guy who directly locked suspicion onto Luo De, the white-haired burly man, without a word, went up and punched Luo De hard in the stomach.

After a miserable scream.

Luo De instantly turned into a cooked big shrimp, curling up and lying on the ground wailing; he lacked the strongman image everyone imagined, instead being all snot and tears, his cries as annoying as a pig about to be slaughtered.

Ma Sai La, enough.

Seeing that white-haired strong man still wanting to strike, Ba Bie Er directly spoke to stop him: "I told you already, this is just an Academy book idiot who has a Vision but can't do anything, and my people have been watching him all night yesterday; he never left his tent at all."

Ba Bie Er still needs Luo De's technique in his mind.

Therefore, no matter what, before confirming Luo De is the killer, the necessary protection must still be in place.

"Just those few misshapen melons and cracked dates under you, can we believe what they say?"

"Hmph, book idiot?"

"Have you forgotten how last time you went to rob that lone book idiot, ending up with only a cripple left after being killed?"

Ma Sai La would not so easily give up his suspicion; after a cold snort he would continue attacking, meaning he wouldn't stop until he beat Luo De into revealing his true strength.

Several other elders also tacitly allowed his behavior.

Ba Bie Er really couldn't oppose so many people, so could only watch helplessly as Ma Sai La continued to punch and kick Luo De.

Just like that.

Luo De, who had been beaten white for half a day, finally couldn't take it, letting out a strange howl; green light suddenly burst from his body as he lunged at Ma Sai La.

Boom—

Such a clumsy attack to the extreme could naturally not hurt Ma Sai La; it only took a kick to send Luo De flying back.

This time.

Seeing Luo De covered in wounds, lying on the ground unable to straighten his waist, he no longer doubted.

This is a pure book idiot who has a Vision but can't use it, having no strength at all; he absolutely could not have killed twelve people in one night, including one of the top experts of the Tanite Tribe.

"Not him."

Ma Sai La said his judgment in a muffled voice.

"Why then?"

Te Ya still didn't understand.

Since it's not Luo De, why are the victims almost all related to Luo De?

"Framing me, putting a shit pot on my head, and by the way getting rid of an eyesore."

"Heh—"

Ba Bie Er hadn't finished speaking, merely glancing around at the elders of the Te Ya faction, then waved his hand, letting his subordinates lift the still-wailing Luo De back.

No more Luo De's wailing.

Because of Ba Bie Er's words, the scene again fell into silence.

Everyone was looking at each other.

A strong capable of silently assassinating Ge Wa Fa is hidden in some elder's hands unknown which; this is not good news.

Especially Te Ya, who has no sense of security.

After Ba Bie Er spoke his deduction, he became panicked.

Next.

After several discussions yielded no result, the few people could only unanimously decide to strengthen the tribe's defenses and increase rotating patrol posts.

After the meeting ended.

Ba Bie Er, full of worries, went to visit Luo De still lying in the tent humming and hawing, comforted him a few words, then took the poison recipe he gave her and left with a faint smile.

Her silhouette had just disappeared.

Feeling that no one around was monitoring him anymore, Luo De jumped up from the bed, rubbed his somewhat stiff facial muscles, then complained: "This bitter meat scheme is really troublesome."

At this time he.

His body was clean, his face had no injury at all, not a trace of wound.

Blinding Technique.

Such an ability displayed relying on divine power is indeed a dimensional strike against those Tanite Tribe folks who only rely on brute force.

Listening to the chaotic sounds outside the tent.

Luo De couldn't help but hehe laugh: "Let it be chaotic, let it be chaotic, the more chaotic the better."

The words fell.

His silhouette then disappeared again into the tent.

This time.

Under broad daylight, he prepared to give that hunter Ma Sai La a lesson.

Who made him beat himself up so pleasantly back then?

Although under the Blinding Technique Ma Sai La couldn't even touch a corner of his clothes, he still needed to retaliate; otherwise there would always be a bit of displeasure.
