Shao Xuan and his group left the area surrounded by mountains in the dark of night. They only slowed down when they were truly out of the area.
"I'll go up and take a look," Shao Xuan threw the unconscious prey to Duo Kang and the others, then jumped up a tree.
There were more towering ancient trees in the surroundings, and more birds were resting in the forest at night. Because of Shao Xuan's movement, the birds chirped a few times in dissatisfaction. There were other nocturnal beasts moving around, and in the distance, there were constant roars and fights between beasts.
This was the real, normal Fearsome Beast Mountain Forest.
The green-faced fanged beasts probably wouldn't leave their precious land, so when they heard the sounds of fighting, both the Yanjiao and Hui tribesmen breathed a sigh of relief. If there were other beasts moving around, it meant that they were no longer in the green-faced fanged beasts' territory.
Shao Xuan came to the top of the tree and looked at the forest in the distance. He couldn't see the green color of the forest in the dark, but he could hear the whistling of the wind.
The birds in the nests in the tree seemed to be uneasy with the sound and made a few low cries.
When Shao Xuan came down from the tree, the Hui tribesmen were still regretting that they didn't catch more green-faced fanged beasts. But since they were already out, they wouldn't go back.
Yanjiao caught a total of nine green-faced fanged beasts. They would give two to the Hui tribe. This wasn't because Yanjiao was stingy. When they were catching the green-faced fanged beasts, the ones who made the decision were the Yanjiao tribesmen. The Hui tribesmen were only there to help. Of the three giant mountain eagles, one was injured, one wasn't used to the environment and was listless, and the last one was not willing to cooperate at all. Their contribution was limited. Giving two to the Hui tribe was already a fair deal.
The Hui tribesmen also understood this, so they didn't have any objections. They just regretted that they didn't catch more. Who would have thought that the green-faced fanged beasts that lived in the depths of the Fearsome Beast Mountain Forest would be useful for metalware?
However, since they were sure that the green-faced fanged beasts were here, and they were the first tribe to openly cooperate with Yanjiao, they believed that there would be opportunities in the future. The Yanjiao people would definitely go there again, and at that time, they could send more people with them.
Thinking of this, the people of the Hui tribe felt very lucky. Indeed, cooperating with Yanjiao was the right choice.
"Shao Xuan, why don't we wait here?" He She of the Hui tribe suggested, but his words were hesitant and cautious. As he spoke, he carefully observed the movements of Shao Xuan. It was dark now, so he couldn't see the expression on Shao Xuan's face. He could only guess from his breathing and movements.
"Sure." Shao Xuan didn't plan to leave now. The Fearsome Beast Mountain Forest was dangerous at night. He was fine, but the others' night vision was far worse than in the daytime. Unless it was absolutely necessary, it wasn't a good idea to travel at night.
They didn't dare to take out the water moon stones now because it would attract insects and beasts. They could only find a place to hide and wait quietly.
There seemed to be voices in the distance, but it wasn't the voices of the tribesmen. It should be Shi Shi's group. They were going in a different direction from Shao Xuan, so they wouldn't meet for the time being.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement from the others. He She blew the wooden whistle, but there was still no response.
The dark sky began to lighten, and the day was approaching.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Not far away, there was the sound of leaves swaying, as if something was running past.
"What's that?!" Mai whispered.
The group was on alert.
Whoosh!
A figure quickly passed by, and the flowers that were taller than a person swayed violently.
"I'll go take a look." Duo Kang picked up his axe and was about to walk over.
"Wait!" Shao Xuan stopped Duo Kang. "Don't go over, guard our prey."
After Shao Xuan said that, the Yanjiao tribesmen understood that it wasn't a beast lurking in the night, but someone else who wanted to steal their prey!
Someone from Rock Hill City?
Behind Shao Xuan, four Yanjiao tribesmen formed an arc to protect the nine prey. On the other side of the prey were the Hui tribesmen. They formed a defensive circle, trapping the prey in the middle.
Whoosh!
The figure that was originally hiding in the forest suddenly rushed out, like a venomous snake staring coldly at its prey. It headed in the direction of Shao Xuan and the others, snaking like lightning. Its steps looked like it was gliding on the grass!
Robbers?!
This didn't seem like the style of the people from Rock Hill City. The slaves didn't have such special abilities, and after eliminating the people from Rock Hill City, the most likely identity was that of a "robber".
Duo Kang and the others clenched their weapons, and the totemic power in their bodies increased instantly. Their muscles tightened, and they felt as hard as rocks. Their totemic power surged wildly, and their bones couldn't help but creak as they were ready to attack.
What did the tribesmen hate the most? It was when their prey was targeted by others. They would definitely be ruthless, and kill whoever they saw.
However, just as Duo Kang and the rest were staring at the figure that rushed out, another figure suddenly appeared on the other side. This figure came from a completely different direction from the first one, and the timing he chose was right when everyone's attention was on the first figure!
Unlike the first one, who had a murderous aura, the second one was more stealthy, like a feather that suddenly floated over. It was silent, but it was faster than a feather.
The second figure leaped out. Both of his feet touched the ground continuously, but he seemed to be floating lightly, like a mayfly in the water. Every time he touched the ground, he would move several meters away. One moment, he was still there, and the next moment, he had already disappeared from his original position and appeared in another place.
Therefore, when everyone's attention was focused on the first figure, the second figure approached from the other side like a ghost. The people of the Hui tribe who were guarding the other side didn't have time to react. Gu La, who reacted the fastest, waved his stone sword and slashed at the approaching figure. The other people of the Hui tribe followed closely behind. However, the other person was able to find a breakthrough in an instant. Under the siege of swords, axes and spears, he broke into the circle of guards. There, there were nine poisoned green-faced fanged beasts lying in a daze.
Just as the black figure reached out to grab the nearest green-faced fanged beast, three spear darts whistled through the air and pierced towards him.
The black figure had no choice but to move his hand away, but he didn't retract it. He pushed his palm against the ground and somersaulted in the air, jumping over the three spear darts. He wanted to attack again, but Shao Xuan's sword was already slashing towards him.
"Robber Seven! You're looking for death! "Shao Xuan shouted.
Robber Seven? It's him?!
It's the robber they caught and released!
He still dared to come and steal Yanjiao's prey!!
Duo Kang and the others were furious. They should have broken his neck instead of agreeing to his deal!
Robber Seven, who was recognized, didn't feel embarrassed at all. He didn't even stop moving, and his thoughts of stealing prey didn't change at all.
So what if they recognized me? I'm here to steal Yanjiao's prey!
However, because of Shao Xuan's obstruction, the others had already reacted, and Robber Seven didn't have a chance to make his move. The person who appeared before was also blocked, and couldn't break into the defense circle to take the prey away.
If the first time didn't work, then he would retreat and look for another chance!
Robber Seven and his companions had the same idea. They were good at surprise attacks, and didn't want to wait for the other party to react and force their way in.
Reluctantly, Robber Seven retreated from the Tribesmen's defense circle and planned to escape first.
However, Shao Xuan had another idea.
They couldn't let them go!
Robbers' actions were hard to guard against. They already had to guard against the dangers that lurked everywhere in the Fearsome Beast Forest. Were they going to have to spare some effort to guard against robbers in the future? Even if there were other robbers who wanted to steal their prey in the future, these two, especially Robber Seven, couldn't be let go!
