In the Thorn Tribe, Yun Li sat in the room, staring blankly at the stone table in front of him.
The leader of the Thorn Tribe, Thorn, hasn't come to see him for a month. If it were in the past, he would probably be happy to eat an extra portion of food.
But now it is not possible. He must meet with Ji, keep Ji and have a meal together.
Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. Even when he doesn't want to see him, he sticks to him almost every day.
Now when he wanted to see someone, he was avoided by the other party. Even if he asked someone to find Ji and tell him that he wanted to see him, he still didn't come.
Yun Li curled the corners of his mouth and revealed a sarcastic smile.
Although he was locked in the house, he was not completely unaware of the Thorn Tribe's movements in the past few days.
A large number of people were transferred out of the tribe. Although he didn't know the specific reason, it was always a good thing for him.
The transfer of people at least proves that Ji and others will not come to the Thorn Tribe.
Moreover, with the manpower transferred away, it would be easier for the people of the Obsidian Tribe to escape.
He closed his eyes. It didn't matter if Ji came or not. It wouldn't change his fate anyway.
He is also tired of his current life.
He was originally here to help the members of the Obsidian Tribe survive. Even if they were treated as slaves, at least they were still alive.
But now, he has become a burden to the people outside the Thorn Tribe and is used to threaten them. This is boring.
He also knew that, in addition to God's instructions, there had long been a group within the Thorn Tribe that disliked his existence and had long wanted to kill all the people of the Obsidian Tribe.
It’s just that I never dared to challenge Ji.
The two failed expeditions to the northwest last year had greatly damaged Ji's prestige. Later, with the divine instruction, that army now stood up straight and jumped up and down.
Thorn won't be able to hold on for long as he wants to continue being the leader of the Thorn Tribe, as long as he wants to survive in the Thorn Tribe.
Sooner or later he will compromise.
What a pity that all the delicious food he made this month was wasted.
After opening his eyes, he stood up, picked up the food on the table and prepared to throw it away.
The door was suddenly opened violently. Looking up, Ji Zheng walked in with a cold face.
Yun Li was a little surprised. He glanced at the food in his hand without leaving a trace and then put it back on the table.
Ji walked up to him with uncontrollable anger in his eyes.
Yun Li, however, didn't care at all. He sat back on the stool, tilted his head and looked at Ji with a playful smile, but said something extremely cold, "Have you considered killing me yourself?"
Ji reached out and grabbed Yun Li's neck. Soon, due to the lack of blood circulation, Yun Li's face turned red, but he did not struggle at all and just looked at Ji.
It was not until his face began to turn purple that Ji relaxed his grip and stared at Yun Li.
"Why? Why? Why?"
He yelled at Yun Li, his tone filled with a mixture of despair and pleading, "If you just don't do anything, if you really don't do anything, I can protect you!"
"Well, then what?" Yun Li looked at Ji, curled his lips and continued, "Then watch you kill all my people, right? And then let me live like you, stepping on the corpses of my people?"
Ji's eyes were filled with hurt and hope as he said, "It's been so many years, am I not good enough to you? Can't I warm your heart?"
Yun Li looked at Ji as if he were an idiot. "My parents, my brother, my tribe are all gone! What were you thinking? I wanted to just die, and you actually told me I couldn't keep warm?"
"You destroyed everything I had, and then you come to tell me what? You come to be nice to me, and you want me to forgive you? Accept you? Be warmed by you? Aren't you a little ridiculous?"
Thorn murmured, "I... did this all for you... If you hadn't chosen that wolf, I wouldn't have done this at all."
At this point, his emotions suddenly became extremely excited, as if he felt more and more that he was right. "You actually chose the wolf who was once a slave."
Hearing this, Yun Li, who was originally sitting, stood up suddenly and slapped Ji in the face.
Ji tilted his head and looked at Yunli in disbelief.
Over the past twenty years, no matter how unhappy, angry, or disgusted Yun Li was with him, he never hit him.
"Ji came to our tribe when he was six years old. We grew up together. Who do you think you are? You appeared out of nowhere, ran in front of me and talked to yourself, and kept pestering me."
"Still for me? Don't put the blame on me. You're doing this for your insatiable desires and ambitions. Even without me, you'd find other reasons to do this."
Ji seemed to want to explain something, but Yun Li didn't give him a chance.
"You said you led the Thorn Tribe to join the gods and destroyed the Obsidian Tribe for me? Then what happened after the Obsidian Tribe was destroyed? You captured slaves, tortured people from other tribes, and killed so many people. Was it also for me? Did I force you to do it with a knife?"
"Don't use me to cover up your dirty thoughts."
Yun Li sat back on the stool and looked at Ji coldly.
The two looked at each other for a long time. Yun Li turned around and faced Ji with his back. He picked up a wooden spoon from the table and kept stirring the soup in the bowl with some regret in his eyes.
They shouldn't have quarreled. He should have controlled his emotions. No matter what Ji said, he should have controlled his emotions.
His fingers, which were gripping the wooden spoon with such force, turned pale.
Looking at the food in front of him, he felt even more regretful. The two of them were in such a stalemate now, all the food was really going to be wasted, and there would never be another chance to eat it.
He closed his eyes. He had already sent all his men to create unrest in the place where the slaves were imprisoned. Ji, who had been hiding from him for a month, suddenly came to see him today. It seemed that those people had chosen to act today.
It was a good opportunity. In fact, he had wanted to take action the first two times the Thorn Tribe sent people to the northwest. However, he thought that there was no one to support them outside, and even if they escaped, they would be caught back soon.
Now that Ji and the others are here, and I don’t know what they did to lure everyone out, let him do something in the end.
Cause some trouble for them within the Thorn Tribe.
He knew that once he took action, he would not be able to survive until the next day. He just didn't expect that Ji, who had been hiding from him for a month, would come over and be ready to take action himself.
Unfortunately, he failed to control his emotions and wasted such a good opportunity.
There were faint chaotic sounds coming from outside. Ji looked at Yun Li's back, a struggle flashed in his eyes, and finally became cold. He raised his hand and transformed into beast armor and slowly approached Yun Li.
