Under the darkness of the night, fights were happening everywhere.
Sometimes you could hear people screaming, and sometimes you could hear the sounds of collisions.
Shao Xuan tied up the third green-faced fanged beast he caught that night and injected it with three needles. When it stopped struggling, he blew the wooden whistle.
Not long after, Duo Kang, Mai, and the others came over. The few people from the Hui tribe also came over.
"How are you? Are you hurt? " Shao Xuan smelled blood. The green-faced fanged beast's blood didn't have such a bloody smell, so it could only be human blood.
"It's nothing, just a small wound." Duo Kang raised his arm. There was a wound about the length of a thumb on his arm, but it looked like he was scratched by a beast. The wound was about three fingers wide, and he had already applied some herbs and wrapped it up with a piece of linen. This was just a graze from the fanged beast's teeth. If it were any other beast's fangs, the wound would only be a scratch. To a certain extent, it was a small wound.
Other than Duo Kang, Mai, Tuo, and Xiang Chen all had some wounds on their bodies. The Hui tribe also had wounds. The one with the heaviest injuries was stabbed in the stomach. If Duo Kang hadn't pulled him back in time, he would have been scratched by the beast's fangs instead of being stabbed. The wound on his stomach would have been a big bloody hole, and he would have died.
The Hui tribe's elder, He She, was very grateful. He secretly decided that he would continue working with Yanjiao in the future. When they returned, he would send someone to thank them. As expected, compared to the other tribes, Yanjiao was more reliable.
"We each caught one, and Duo Kang caught two," Mai said.
The four of them caught five, and Shao Xuan caught three. Including the one in the cave, they had nine in total.
"Shao Xuan, do we continue?" Duo Kang rubbed his hands. He was still itching. There were so many green-faced fanged beasts, it would be a waste not to catch them.
"No, let's get ready to leave," Shao Xuan said.
"You're leaving so soon?" Duo Kang was reluctant.
"Let's take advantage of the fact that the green-faced fanged beasts are distracted by the people from Rock Hill City to escape. Otherwise, it'll be hard for us to escape once they regain their senses. Don't be greedy. " Shao Xuan's sense of crisis did not disappear. What if the group of green-faced fanged beasts turned around and targeted them? In order to escape, the people from Rock Hill City might have lured the green-faced fanged beasts here.
Duo Kang thought about it and agreed. There was no need to rush. After all, this was still the Fearsome Beast Forest. If they wanted to come back in the future, it would be fine. Their tribe was at the edge of the Fearsome Beast Forest. Compared to other tribes, it was closer. They could just treat it as a hunting trip.
"Alright then, let's hurry up and leave. Don't let those people from Rock Hill City plot against us. Slave masters are very treacherous." After thinking it through, Duo Kang couldn't wait to go back and try to forge weapons with these green-faced fanged beasts. He was very wary of the slave masters. Who let the slave masters on the other side of the sea be a big force? Although the slave masters' territory was only in the desert, they were still slave masters. He had to be careful.
Signalling Gu La to blow a whistle to inform the other tribes, Shao Xuan went back to the cave to bring out the first green-faced fanged beast he caught. He injected it with three needles to wake it up. He didn't know if they would attract the group of green-faced fanged beasts when they left. It was too risky.
"What, no one is here yet?" When Shao Xuan went down the mountain, he didn't see anyone else. There was nothing else important in the cave. Everyone could just grab their prey and leave. But now, Gu La had already blown the whistle to gather and leave. Did those people not hear it, or did they not want to leave the prey in front of them?
"I'll blow it again." Gu La's expression was ugly as he blew the whistle again. They had cooperated with the other tribes for so many years. They knew how to communicate with each other and what the whistle meant. It was understandable if they couldn't return because of the situation. But in such a big place, how could they not return even if they didn't hear the whistle?
At this moment, a series of nocturnal bird whistles came from somewhere in the forest.
"It's the Feather tribe. They don't want to leave immediately. They asked us to wait." Gu La frowned.
"Tell them, either they come here immediately and we leave together, or they continue to catch beasts here and we leave now." Shao Xuan said.
Gu La did as he was told. But when he returned, the other party didn't want to leave immediately.
"Let them be. Let's go." Shao Xuan said and let Gu La whistle back.
Soon, there was a short whistle in reply.
"They agreed." Gu La didn't understand. Wasn't it just the green-faced fanged beasts? Why did they stay here and not leave? Why were they so greedy?
Shao Xuan also felt that this wasn't their style. Unless they knew something and knew the importance of the green-faced fanged beasts.
Metal that wasn't in a molten state wouldn't change when it came in contact with the blood of the green-faced fanged beasts. Those people couldn't have discovered it because of this.
Thinking about this, Shao Xuan's eyebrows twitched. The Rock Hill City people!
Unless the Rock Hill City people took the initiative to tell them the secret! So that the tribesmen could continue to hold back the beasts here!
"Maybe they already know the secret of the green-faced fanged beasts." Shao Xuan said.
"What secret?" The Hui tribesmen looked at Shao Xuan. "What's the use of the green-faced fanged beasts?" This was something they didn't understand. Unfortunately, the Flaming Horns were still wary of the other tribes and didn't want to talk about it.
"Metal."
Shao Xuan only said two words, but it made the expressions on the faces of the people of the Hui tribe change. Their eyes changed from shock and disbelief at the beginning to burning with passion.
"Metal?! It's actually metal! No wonder! "He She felt like his blood was boiling.
"Now's not the time to talk about this. Since the Rock Hill City people have already made their move, tell the others to retreat quickly. Otherwise, we won't be able to. The Rock Hill City people want to shift the beasts' attention to them. "Shao Xuan said to Gu La.
"Huh? Oh. " Gu La was still in a daze. His trembling hand almost lost his grip on the wooden whistle. The whistle was still trembling. Fortunately, he had already conveyed his message.
"Are we really not going to catch more?" He She's voice was hoarse. His eyes flickered as he couldn't make up his mind. He had already guessed the answer. No wonder the others didn't want to leave. If they knew about this, who would be willing to leave?
Before Shao Xuan could speak, Mai and Tuo snorted. They didn't want to tell the other tribesmen this secret. After all, they didn't have a good relationship with the other tribes. They even had a few conflicts with each other. Now, which tribe didn't hide their treasures and not let others see them? Even tribes that had good relations with each other would take precautions.
Now that Shao Xuan revealed the secret because of the Rock Hill City people's possible actions, these people still wanted to change Shao Xuan's decision? The Rock Hill City people had already made their move. Staying here would be suicide. Waiting for the beasts to rush over?
"If you want to stay, then stay. We're leaving anyway."
The five people from Yanjiao carried the green-faced fanged beasts and walked away.
The people from the Hui tribe wanted to say something, but in the end, they just let out a long sigh. They gritted their teeth and left with the five people from Yanjiao.
In order to avoid the Rock Hill City people, Shao Xuan's group went around two mountains and left the forest. They didn't want to meet the beasts.
Not long after Shao Xuan's group left, the beasts that were attacking Rock Hill City suddenly turned around and split into three different directions. There were tribesmen moving in all three directions.
This was what Shi Shi ordered the slaves to do. It was to lure the beasts away so that he could leave with his prey. When they left, Shi Shi realized that there were only eight left when they left, even though he had captured eleven of them!
"Robber Four!!"
Shi Shi didn't think that the robbers would dare to steal his prey! He stopped the tribesmen and lured the beasts away. But when he turned around, three of his prey were stolen!
Shi Shi was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but now wasn't the time to be angry. Shi Shi brought some of the slaves and the remaining eight beasts down the mountain in a hurry.
The sky was still dark, and the smell of blood could still be smelled. There were also some sizzling sounds. The blood of the beasts that had been cut down made a steaming sound. In the end, there were only bones and teeth left. The once strongest weapon had lost its power with the death of the green-faced fanged beast. Its long fangs had turned into ordinary fangs without any special features.
However, compared to the number of beasts that died, the number of slaves from Rock Hill City was much higher. When they arrived, there were close to four hundred people. Now, only a little more than a hundred left with Shi Shi.
Close to two hundred people died in the sudden attack of the beasts. Screams of agony could still be heard even now.
But Shi Shi didn't care. The prey he brought back was more important. It was a pity that he didn't bring enough people. If he knew this would happen, he would've brought more people.
Three of his beasts were stolen. Shi Shi was unhappy, but when he thought about how he sent people to lure the beasts to the tribesmen, he was happy. Let the tribesmen have a taste of what it felt like to be attacked by the beasts! Trying to take advantage of the chaos? No way!
