Actually, Si had wanted to make a move on the Yanjiao tribe for a long time. Back when the Yanjiao tribe was still deep in the forest, their presence was insignificant and the Bi people rarely went deep into the forest to tangle with the other tribes. However, after the Yanjiao tribe's great migration, they made their presence known and attracted the attention of the Bi people.
Other people might think that a powerful tribe was too troublesome to deal with, but the Bi people were different. In the eyes of the Bi people, the more powerful the tribe, the more powerful the people, the higher the value of the slaves. Their way of looking at people was to measure the value of goods.
The people of the Feather tribe would be proud of catching a bird with beautiful feathers and would flaunt it. The Bi people would also flaunt when they sold a slave at a high price. Moreover, the higher the rank of the slave master, the higher the standards of the slave master. They would not be interested in normal people but for a leader like Si, it was fine if they did not make a move but once they did, it would have to be at the level of a tribe leader.
However, Ji Fang's warning made Si hesitate for a moment. He did not make a move immediately. Instead, he raised the arm that was not holding the Xi blade and pointed at Robber Seven who was tied up like a cocoon. He said coldly, "Give him to me and I'll take his life!" Having his Chief's Bone Lock stolen was Si's greatest humiliation!
Si could still track down the stolen Bone Lock through certain means. As for Robber Seven who stole the Bone Lock, of course he would not let him go. At the same time, Si also felt that if Robber Seven died, no one would be able to steal the Bone Lock from him again. He did not think that anyone had the ability to do so, not even the tribesmen in front of him.
Therefore, Robber Seven must die! If he died, he would no longer be a threat and no one would be able to make him feel this humiliation!
Sensing the murderous aura, Robber Seven did not move but Qu Li and the others were already nervous. They gulped and looked at Shao Xuan. Seeing that Shao Xuan did not move, they continued to remain silent.
Robber Seven looked at Shao Xuan. He would be lying to himself if he said he was not afraid. He knew that Shao Xuan was in charge of this group of people. He also wanted to see what Shao Xuan would do, but he was more worried that Shao Xuan would kill him on the spot.
Seeing that there was no response, Si glanced coldly at Shao Xuan and the others. "You're not handing it over?"
As his voice trailed off, Si waved his arm and black shadows the size of fingernails shot out from his wide black sleeves. They flew into the bushes and headed straight for Shao Xuan and the others.
Sou sou sou —
The grass in the path of the black silhouettes that shot into the grass was cut in half. The cut grass flew up and sprayed out from the ground like countless raindrops. As for the black silhouettes that were thrown out, they crashed into the ground not far from Shao Xuan and the others.
Si's action was the signal to attack!
Shao Xuan raised his saber. "Gan Qie, watch Robber Seven. Don't let him die so easily!"
"As for you guys," Shao Xuan glanced at Mu Fa, Qu Li and the others. "Don't die so easily."
Qu Li, Lu Zhai, Ci Du and Mu Fa, who had led the team through countless trials and tribulations, were speechless. The difference in treatment was a little frustrating.
Although Shao Xuan had told them to protect themselves, they were the leaders of their respective tribes. How could they be willing to do that? How could Gan Qie take on six of them by himself?
Although the moon wasn't very bright, with the combination of moonlight and starlight, with everyone's eyesight, they wouldn't go blind even if it wasn't as bright as the day. Gan Qie's night vision was far better than others, and even Ci Du, Qu Li and the rest had trained themselves to hunt at night after many hunts with the Flaming Horns. In the forest, the beasts wouldn't let them go just because they couldn't see well at night. Tonight's moon and starlight were much brighter than when they were in the forest. At least they weren't obstructed by the towering trees.
Moreover, not all of the Bi people had good night vision. Their movements were also limited in the dark.
After receiving Si's signal, the six black-clothed men around him moved swiftly. They flung out the chains in their hands with brute force and agility. At the same time, there were threads that were not much thicker than a strand of hair. Together with the chains, these threads were easy to overlook. However, it was these threads that made the chains seem alive, releasing even more lethal force.
If traps were to be described as interlocking, then these threads and chains were two of the most important factors for the Bi slave masters to set up their traps. This group of Bi people with a long history of slave trading were all experts in knots and ropes. Therefore, they couldn't miss a single detail or movement.
Robber Seven was so happy that he wanted to set off firecrackers.
Hahaha! It's starting! It's starting!
However, in order to minimize his presence, Robber Seven had to suppress his excitement. He no longer looked at the sky and pretended to be a philosopher. He observed the battle with great interest and looked for an opportunity to escape. He didn't want to stay. Even if Shao Xuan had no intention of handing him over to Si, Robber Seven didn't think he would have a good ending if he fell into Yanjiao's hands. It was safer to escape.
Mu Fa paid close attention to the strings and chains, silently calculating the strengths and weaknesses of both sides. He thought to himself, 'Si's subordinates are indeed as frightening as the rumors say. Not only are they strong, their teamwork is flawless, and their ability to predict and analyze is also impeccable. Perhaps before they even make a move, they have already formed an intricate net in their minds and the few of us are the prey that this net is trying to capture.'
Qu Li flicked his wrist. A round shield the size of two adult palms slid from his forearm to his wrist. He had asked Yanjiao to help him get it made with Yanjiao's new bronze. As the totemic patterns on Qu Li's body deepened, his entire body inflated. His palms and even his fingers grew in size. The round shield, which was originally slightly bigger, was now just right.
Ci Du and Lu Zhai also picked up their weapons. Gan Qie was the only one who stood there bare-handed. He didn't have any weapons on him. It was as if he couldn't feel the danger in front of him. Judging from his attire, he looked more like a leisure traveler. He was similar to many of the adventurers in the mainland.
The chains plunged into the ground with a loud thud. The three men in black tugged at the chains. The arrowhead at the front of the chains had barbs, tearing up the soil and grass on the ground. The three men in black borrowed the force of the pull to leap forward.
Clang clang clang —
The chains seemed to have eyes of their own. They suddenly changed directions mid-air and chased after Qu Li and the others. Like a snake that had finally bared its fangs, it was about to hunt its prey. Once bitten, even if it was just a single bite, it would be close to hell.
Both of Qu Li's feet stomped on the ground as he retreated rapidly. Looking at the sharp end of the chain that was less than half an arm's length away from his feet, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. If his reaction had been just a little slower, or if he hadn't retreated far enough, his entire right foot would have been nailed to the ground.
He glanced at Gan Qie from the corner of his eyes. He was still the same. Gan Qie's expression didn't change at all. He stood there silently like a lifeless stone pillar. Qu Li was impressed by Gan Qie's determination. Under such circumstances, he could still maintain his stone-like calmness. Qu Li couldn't help but wonder if Gan Qie would still be able to maintain his composure after being struck by the chains.
That wasn't right. The Yanjiao people seemed to have told them that Gan Qie couldn't be killed.
A chain escaped from the black-clothed man's hand. Like a long black snake under the night sky, it bared its poisonous fangs and went straight for Gan Qie who was still standing there. To be exact, it was going for Robber Seven who was diagonally behind Gan Qie.
When it came to other people, the Bi slave masters prioritized capturing them. If they couldn't capture them, they would kill them. Robber Seven, on the other hand, was given the order to kill without mercy by Si. That was why they could slowly toy with Qu Li and Gan Qie, but when it came to Robber Seven, they would kill him at the first opportunity!
Without using any tools, Gan Qie grabbed the chain that brushed past his scalp with his bare hands.
The sharp spikes of the chain that was shooting towards Robber Seven stopped a step away from him. It was as if someone had grabbed it by the neck. The spikes at the front of the chain drooped down weakly.
On the other end, the black-clothed man tugged at the chain. It wouldn't budge but he didn't panic. Due to the structure of the chain, it was normal for it to be caught. Not only was he not worried, he even had a mocking smile in his eyes. His other hand moved slightly. At the same time, the other black-clothed man's chain shot towards Gan Qie like a snake.
Gan Qie raised his other hand to block the attack of the second chain. However, at the same time, the chain in his hand seemed to have come alive. It struggled and twisted in an "S" shape. Suddenly, it pulled apart and wrapped around Gan Qie!
Mu Fa noticed the situation at Gan Qie's side. He wondered if he should go over and help. However, Ci Dou, who was already heading over to help, suddenly retreated away from Gan Qie as if he was avoiding the plague. Not only Mu Fa, even the black-clothed man who was chasing after Ci Dou was surprised.
What did Ci Dou see?
When Ci Dou noticed Gan Qie's situation, his first reaction was to go over and help. After all, they were all on the same side. Moreover, Bi had one more person than them. If Gan Qie lost his ability to fight, their side would be at a disadvantage.
However, just as Ci Dou was about to go over, he saw a flash of red in Gan Qie's eyes. It was especially obvious in the darkness of the night. At that moment, Ci Dou suddenly remembered that Gan Qie was different from them.
The leader of Yanjiao had once told them not to get close to Gan Qie if they saw him in this state. Moreover, Ci Dou had personally witnessed Gan Qie killing fearsome beasts during a hunt. Even now, he still had a lingering fear towards Gan Qie.
Seeing Ci Dou retreat, Qu Li and Lu Zhai seemed to have thought of something and stopped in their tracks.
Robber Seven, who was watching the battle with great interest, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't help but shiver.
Gan Qie, who was bound by the chain, didn't panic at all. Instead, the strange red glow in his eyes expanded, as if it was about to overflow with viscous blood.
Crack … Crack … Crack!
The sound of bones cracking could be heard. Finger bones that were half the length of an arm glowed with a metallic luster as they appeared in Gan Qie's hand. They were like sharp swords that had been unsheathed. Under the moonlight, they flashed with a frightening cold light!
A strange roar came from his throat. Sound waves shot out from his long fangs, exploding and spreading in all directions. It was extremely deafening! The chains around Gan Qie's body creaked weakly as if they were about to break in the next second.
Sand yellow flames emitted from Gan Qie's body. Everything around him became cold and dry. The grass under his feet quickly lost its moisture as if it was being baked by the high temperature. It went from fresh green to withered in less than a breath's time.
Robber Seven, who was closest to Gan Qie, felt his face tighten as if it was about to crack. No amount of cold sweat could relieve it.
The six men in black stopped abruptly as if their feet were nailed to the ground. Their arched eyebrows were raised as they looked at Gan Qie in shock. Their pupils constricted at the sudden turn of events. They were dumbfounded by the scene in front of them.
Which f * cking tribe was this?!
Was this really a human?!
A half-beastman?
No, not a half-beastman. They had captured so many half-beastmen as slaves, but they had never encountered a situation like this. This was not a half-beastman they were familiar with, nor was this a human they were more familiar with! Then, what was this? A monster?
It wasn't just the men in black who were stunned. Robber Seven, who had been pretending to be calm, was also shocked. Every pore on his body was trembling from extreme uncertainty and suspicion. His heart was screaming for him to get away, get away quickly!
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold. Time seemed to have slowed down. Clouds floated in the night sky, covering the two incomplete moons. Even the stars were hiding away in fear, appearing dim.
The night was even darker.
No one moved. The six men in black were probably guessing and calculating Gan Qie's threat level in their hearts.
Robber Seven looked at the situation in front of him and broke out in cold sweat.
Help! Another monster!
He suddenly wanted to blow the whistle for help. Being demoted was better than losing his life. But, if he blew the whistle here, would the other robbers be able to hear him? In order to better escape with the Chief's Bone Lock, Robber Seven purposely chose a route with fewer people. He was afraid that even if he blew the whistle until the end, no one would come to save him.
At this moment, Robber Seven deeply understood one thing — you won't die if you don't seek death.
