Chapter 142 Sneak in
Ye Li and others quickly hid themselves, holding their breath and not daring to move.
After a while, they saw a man and a woman from the Taya people coming in with baskets on their backs. The baskets were filled with beautiful flowers of various colors, and they also wore colorful masks on their faces.
As they walked, the two men spoke in the Taya language, which Ye Li and the others did not understand, and laughed from time to time.
Several people from the forest tribe exchanged glances, then rushed over together tacitly, and killed the two Taya people directly with their scimitars. The two Taya people didn't even have time to scream.
The masks of the Taya people were taken off, revealing their faces, which contrasted with the flowers scattered on the ground, presenting a strange beauty.
"What now?"
"Hide the body," said the experienced person. "This place is not too far from the Taya tribe's territory. If we are discovered, it will be disastrous."
Everyone was preparing to move the body.
"Wait," Ye Li stopped them. She looked at the clothes of the dead Taya and the mask dropped on the ground. She suggested, "We can put on Taya's clothes and masks and sneak in!"
"No, it's too dangerous!" Everyone immediately denied it.
Li Zhi said from the side: "Why don't we ask Brother Li Yuan first?"
"Even if I ask, it's still not possible," said the person who had just denied it directly, "Brother Li would never agree to such a dangerous thing."
Ye Li didn't care anymore. She said, "I understand what you mean, but I must go. Please tell Li Yuan for me. Sorry for the trouble."
After Ye Li finished speaking, he quickly took off the clothes of the female Taya and put them on himself. He put the flowers scattered on the ground into his backpack, then picked up the mask beside him and strode towards the Taya tribe.
"Miss Ye, don't mess around!"
"I didn't do anything rash. This was the best way to get in."
Seeing that they couldn't persuade Ye Li, the people from the forest tribe had no choice but to give up.
After passing through the forest, we soon arrived at the entrance of the Taya people's cave.
Ye Li held on to the backpack tightly and bravely walked to the entrance of the Taya people's cave.
The two guards were so tall and strong that they looked like two stone lions, which made people shudder.
The two guards stood in front of them with their weapons in hand, mumbling something.
Ye Li didn't understand a word they said, but she couldn't speak. She could only remain there, observing the guard's expression. If she was found out, she would run away as soon as possible.
At this moment, someone suddenly chased her from behind, ran to her side, and handed her a sign.
When the two guards saw this, they immediately made way respectfully and invited Ye Li and the others in.
Ye Li and the others entered smoothly.
"Who are you?" The person in front of him was wearing a mask, and Ye Li couldn't recognize him for a moment.
The person in front of him took off his mask, revealing a smiling face: "It's me."
It turned out to be Li Zhi.
Li Zhi quickly put on his mask and lowered his voice to explain, "I thought the two dead Taya people went out together, but you came back alone. It would inevitably arouse suspicion, so I changed my clothes and followed you."
"Aren't you afraid of danger?" Ye Li was not afraid to take the risk alone, but she was afraid that something might happen to the people of the Forest Tribe if she asked them to come along.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Li Zhi said, "I'm wearing a mask anyway. As long as I don't say anything, who would know I'm from outside?"
At this time, a Taya person came over and Li Zhi quickly shut up.
