Goldie A 'bao grabbed the two Bone Eating shamans and swung them around madly like weapons, constantly letting out meaningless roars and bellows. Walls shattered one after another, and residences collapsed loudly. Cries rose and fell.
Just like how a single person risked his life, even ten people would struggle to stop him. With the Bone Eating shamans around him, they were like a pack of wolves surrounding a furious black bear. Their sharp teeth and claws struggled to do anything. The slightest carelessness could lead to a single instakill.
"All of you back up! I'll stop him!" The Bone Eating chieftain bellowed out. His eyes basically spat fire when he realized this was the end of the chase.
Clang! Clang!
Clang! Clang! Clang! The urgent sound of gongs and drums rang out from the city walls. The guards called out loudly, "The Bone Eating barbarians are here! The Bone Eating barbarians are here! "
Countless people roused from their sleep. The entire Fragrant Flower market was completely alarmed.
At this moment, Li Qingshan had already arrived before the Fragrant Flower market.
The square was brightly lit, filled with a hubbub of voices. A while later, there was a rumble, and the door opened. A group of people hurried over to where the battle had taken place. In the lead was a beautiful woman with a pretty face. Behind her were all women too, both young women and old women.
Li Qingshan had heard from Goldie A 'bao that the Fragrant Flower tribe was a matriarchal clan. The people in charge were all women. This aspect was very similar to the night roamers, and the reason was basically the same. The cultivation methods passed down in the tribe were more suitable for women to practise. In this world, the strong obviously had the final say!
The beautiful woman in the lead sensed something. She turned her gaze, casting it into the gloomy alleyway, but she saw nothing. She could not afford to think too much about it. She became worried inside. The Bone Eating tribe has actually snuck into the city at night. Are they going to declare war?
Li Qingshan had already leapt over the high walls and entered the Fragrant Flower market. His footsteps were light and silent, and he passed through the garden swiftly.
The people in the market had all been mobilized. The guards had become extremely lax. He made his way straight in and arrived in the central courtyard. There was a steaming hot spring, and there was a large fake mountain fountain in the centre. An exotic fragrance drifted through the air.
Those who can usually bathe here must be people with extremely great status in the Fragrant Flower clan. Perhaps it's the woman I saw earlier!
However, he didn't come here to steal a woman. Even if he really wanted to, Right now, he was willing, but unable. He was choosing a suitable hiding place. If the Bone Eating tribe really did reach an agreement with the Fragrant Flower tribe and conduct a large-scale search of the city, they definitely would not be able to find this place.
According to his perception, there was a hollow space in the rockery. He jumped into the hot spring. He swam to the bottom of the rockery and found a small cave. The entrance of the cave was only the size of a rubber ball. Ordinary people would not be able to enter, but he was only a foot-long baby now, so he easily entered the cave. Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
After bathing in the hot spring with Goldie A 'bao, he found the hot spring to be very nice. The underground river boiled with the flames of the earth, a display of the two powers of the world. It was beneficial for comprehending the fusion of fire and water.
Of course, the most important thing was to be comfortable. His body was submerged in the hot spring, and the steam was rising, making him sleepy. He yawned and laid down with his arms as a pillow. He believed that no one would be able to find him here. He just needed to have a good sleep and wait for him to grow up. He gently closed his eyes.
… …
Early the next morning, amidst the drifting mist, the Fragrant Flower Market gradually became noisy. Everyone who saw each other was discussing what had happened last night.
"Just what happened last night?" "You were sleeping too soundly. The Bone Eating barbarians have entered the city!" "Bone Eating barbarians! Man-eating Bone Eating barbarians? " "Who else could it be? The battle between the Fragrant Flower clan and the Bone Eating barbarians was truly earth-shaking. They only managed to repel the Bone Eating barbarians after so much difficulty. Go to the east of the city and take a look. Several dozen houses have all been demolished!" "Why do I hear there's a monster there?"
In the Fragrant Flower market.
"Are you certain that the monster last night was Goldie A 'bao of Goldie fort? A travelling merchant? "
Chrysanthemum Fragilis listened to her daughter's report with a frown. Ever since she became the matriarch of the Fragrant Flower clan, it had already been many years since such a great disturbance had occurred in the city. Last night, she almost thought the Bone Eating shamans had gone mad and launched a sneak attack on them, but in the end, they ended up fighting a monster for some reason. It was a false alarm!
However, the results of the investigation left her in disbelief. The terrifying monster was actually a travelling merchant called Goldie A 'bao, a mortal through and through! She had personally witnessed the monster's terror. Before he died, he had even killed a few Bone Eating shamans. At the very least, twenty Bone Eating shamans had died at his hands, so how could he be a mortal?
"Yes, mother. Someone saw him enter the city, and he even borrowed a great sum of money to buy a courtyard and many livestock! The courtyard is filled with the corpses of livestock, all of them like they've been drained dry. They're exactly the same as the corpses of the Bone Eating shamans! "
When Xianghua Zi thought of the courtyard filled with corpses, she still felt uncomfortable. It was even more disgusting than rotting, smelly, and blood-soaked.
"Is this something a mortal can do?" Chrysanthemum Fragilis frowned.
"At the very least, when he came to trade a few days ago, he seemed no different from a mortal. Shamans don't do such lowly work. Perhaps he learnt some powerful shaman art, but he's been hiding his strength the entire time! "
"Why does the Bone Eating tribe insist on killing him?"
"I'm not sure about that yet, but the shaman art he uses is similar to the shaman art passed down through the generations of the Bone Eating tribe. It's all about directly stealing the life force of others. No, it should be even more ingenious than the Bone Eating tribe's. Even other wild beasts can become targets. It's very likely that the Bone Eating tribe came here to steal this shaman art. In order to avoid being hunted down, he fled back to Fragrant Flower market, but he had no choice but to absorb too much life force, which is why he became like that. It's also possible that he's determined to perish together with the Bone Eating shamans."
"Hmph, those Bone Eating barbarians have gone for wool and come home shorn this time. There's actually such a powerful shaman art in the world. We can't let those barbarians obtain it. Go, investigate carefully what the travelling merchant from Goldie fort has been doing these past few days. Who has seen him and what he's said!"
Chrysanthemum Fragilis ordered. She did not waste the opportunity last night either, using the opportunity to launch an attack and heavily injuring the Bone Eating chieftain. She even left behind many Bone Eating shamans. The Bone Eating tribe would need a few years to recover. If there were any wondrous shaman arts, she had to grasp them in her hands.
A few days later, Chrysanthemum Fragilis received news that Goldie A 'bao had sold a wondrous item at a high price in Fragrant Flower market a few days ago. The wondrous item was shaped like a cloth bag, impervious to damage.
She immediately became certain that the item was closely connected to this matter. She ordered her second daughter, Xianghua Zi. "Go to Black Water cave and find the cave master. Buy that item back!"
"What if he refuses to sell it?"
"Then offer an even higher price, so high that he can't refuse or be afraid of it!"
In the fake hot spring, Li Qingshan's ears twitched, and his lips curled up slightly. He had no idea where Black Water cave was, nor did he know who had bought the Asura Field. Originally, he found it to be rather troublesome, but it was all good now.
"Looks like I don't have to go to Black Water cave!"
