Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Tu's words gave Li Qing a bad feeling. Did he intend to fight him to the death even if he didn't care about his daughter's life or death?

After thinking about it, Li Qing felt it made perfect sense. As a utilitarian, Tu would definitely choose the option that was most beneficial to him, rather than "family ties".

Or perhaps, family ties aren't that important in this era.

As Li Qing was pondering how to respond, he suddenly heard Da Hei's uneasy roar coming from afar, as if it had encountered some danger or something that frightened it.

But now, everyone who was supposed to come has come. Whether it's the White Feather Tribe or the Black Wind Tribe, everyone has gathered here. Will anyone else come to the Black Wind Tribe? No, that's not right. Even when Tu brought his people back here, Dahei only showed disgust, not this kind of emotion. What's going on? What could make Dahei so afraid? It's a ferocious beast now!

As Li Qing was lost in thought, the sky suddenly turned gray, as if a torrential downpour was about to descend.

And that is indeed the case.

The sky turned from daylight to "night" in just a few seconds. In an instant, a torrential downpour began. This scene reminded Li Qing of the rain he had experienced in the tribe. The two rainstorms were so similar, except that back then, Dahei was not a ferocious beast and did not show the fear it did now.

After learning what had happened, Li Qing's mood did not relax; instead, it tightened further. He immediately witnessed a scene he would never forget: a golden lightning bolt struck a person lingering in the tribal square. It was only for a moment, but in that instant, the person was first covered in a layer of holy light, and then within half a second, his body was in pain, jolted up by the electric shock. At the same time, the golden figure suddenly turned into a charred mess, and like a feather, gently "floated" to the ground.

This was Li Qing witnessing a person being struck dead by lightning. Normally, he would only hear about such things in the news, but this scene brought Li Qing more than just surprise and satisfaction of his curiosity. By the brief glimmer of light emanating from the person, Li Qing recognized that the person was indeed Ke. His companions, seeing Ke struck dead by lightning, were all terrified. Tragically, not one of them dared to step forward to help Ke, fearing that they too would be electrocuted. Only his "superior," Kakuzu, seeing this, rushed to Ke with gritted teeth and knelt down, stroking Ke with both hands, whether to test whether Ke was still alive or to send off the dead Ke.

The sudden scene caught the Black Wind Tribe members off guard, and they scattered and ran into the cave.

"Was that what startled Big Black just now...?" Li Qing looked up at the sky. "That disaster really did come, and it happened at such a coincidental time."

Gale-force winds rose and torrential rain howled. One unfortunate fellow even perished as a result. But in any case, everything that was happening was within the acceptable range for both tribes. At worst, they could just run away. However, they soon realized that they had been too naive—especially those who ran towards the cave at their fastest speed ever. Not only did they finally realize that they had been too naive, but they also paid a price for it.

One, two... Li Qing's eyes widened as he stared at the meteorites falling from the sky, counting their number, growing more and more frightened with each count.

It's finally here! A meteorite impact, and with such incredible force!

Several fireflies were the first to fall, their trajectory grazing the Black Crow Forest. The instant they touched the ground, flames erupted like an explosion, reigniting the fire that had nearly died out in the Black Crow Forest. The flames were even more intense than before. In an instant, amidst the gray sky, a thick flame reappeared in the sight of Li Qing and the others, like a volcanic eruption, as if competing with the torrential rain to see which was the natural enemy: water or fire.

The situation in Black Crow Forest seemed to be a minor one. There were many more meteorites, which were much larger and fell much faster than the one that landed in Black Crow Forest. They were so fast that Li Qing could even see the afterimages following behind the meteorites.

These large iron balls, surrounded by flames, landed in various corners of the forest, and at the same time, flames burst forth one after another, showing no sign of being affected by the rain and thus not diminishing their intensity.

Of course, the worst off were those who entered the cave thinking it was very safe and stayed there, unwilling to come out. Perhaps because of the stone slabs above them, they did not notice the meteorite attack overhead—or rather, from the moment they entered the cave, they had already left their survival to luck. Even if they could see the meteorite, in such a narrow area, they could not find a way out to escape.

A meteorite, which seemed insignificant compared to other meteorites, crashed heavily above the cave. Instantly, Li Qing heard a sound ten times louder than the booming sound of a modern high-explosive grenade.

The meteorite destroyed the cave, leaving it in a state reminiscent of a house collapsed by an earthquake. Layer upon layer of large and small rocks buried the warriors and women inside. Li Qing could even see that after the explosion, a lot of blood and flesh splattered around the cave.

The source of this flesh and blood was obvious, but what horrified Li Qing was that these people didn't even scream before they died; they were instantly killed and dismembered. The thought that he might suffer the same fate made Li Qing tremble involuntarily.

This scene jolted Li Qing, who was still in a daze, into a panic. He realized that if they didn't run, it would be too late. He roared, "Those with warhorses, ride them! Try to take care of those without warhorses. Take as many people as you can. If you can't take them all, ride Big Black with me. Then we'll go back to the tribe and pick up Jie Wu, Cang, and those who can't fight. Then we'll leave this place quickly, no matter where we run. We can't stay here any longer. The meteor shower has started. If we don't run now, it will be too late."
