Li Qing asked with a chuckle, "So, you're saying you're willing?"
Tu snorted coldly, "You can leave now."
Li Qing was secretly delighted, knowing that there was a good chance of success. He slowly stood up and said, "Then let's meet again in three days."
He bowed slightly, then turned and walked towards the cave entrance.
Tu stared intently at Li Qing's back, his heart filled with hatred, feeling as if he were being manipulated by Li Qing.
This was not a comfortable feeling for Tu.
He had a vague feeling that Li Qing was trying to scare him, but he really didn't dare to gamble with the lives of the remaining warriors in the tribe. No matter who killed Ci Mian and the others or what dangers they encountered, their deaths were already a fait accompli. The total number of people in the tribe who could fight had been greatly reduced, which was very disadvantageous for the Black Wind Tribe. In addition to the Red Flower and White Feather Tribes, Tu also had to consider the dangers from many other tribes. Just as Li Qing thought, he was unwilling to gamble.
Tu suddenly said loudly, "Li Qing, if you dare to lie to me, then we will definitely raze your Red Flower Tribe to the ground without considering the consequences. Do you understand?"
Li Qing froze, then turned back and forced a very awkward smile: "Chief, how could this be? We would never lie to you."
Tu Yue felt increasingly displeased with Li Qing's expression. "You can get out now!"
Li Qing smiled and said goodbye again, then turned and left once more.
Just as they were about to reach the cave entrance, a frail old man, whose figure looked as if a gust of wind could blow him over, walked into the cave.
His actual age is definitely not as old as he looks.
Li Qing focused her attention slightly on this "old man".
His face was covered in wrinkles and he had long since lost his hair. His eyes were extremely empty, as if he were blind. His upper body was naked, revealing rows of ribs. The snakeskin skirt he wore looked extremely comfortable. In his hand, he held a long, cane-like shamanic staff.
"He must be the shaman of the Black Wind Tribe," Li Qing thought to himself, puzzled. He only remembered that the shamans of the Black Wind Tribe were skilled in "curse magic," but he didn't know what it was called or what level they had developed this ability to.
"A rare guest indeed."
The witch laughed.
"You know me?"
The shaman stopped in his tracks, tapped the ground with his staff, and stared at Li Qing with his utterly empty eyes: "You're Mai Zi, aren't you?"
Li Qing did not deny it, but asked, "Have we met before?"
Just then, Kakuzu, who was guarding the cave entrance, quietly approached. "Moth Witch?"
The moth witch smiled and waved her hand, saying, "No need."
As he spoke, he looked at Li Qing again.
This gaze lasted for about three or four seconds before the Moth Witch gently patted Li Qing's shoulder and turned to enter the cave.
cut!
What a mysterious fellow!
Li Qing cursed inwardly.
Kakuzu, who was greeting Li Qing, coldly asked, "Have you finished talking about everything that needed to be said?"
"yes."
Li Qing shrugged and said casually.
"We had a very enjoyable chat."
"Is that so...that's good."
Kakuzu let out a strange laugh.
“I will come again in three days. As for what happened, Tu should tell you in a while,” Li Qing said with a smile. “This matter is a big deal concerning our Red Flower Tribe and your Black Wind Tribe. I believe you will be very surprised after hearing what your chief has to say.”
Kakuzu coldly replied, "Is that so? But you can leave now."
As he spoke, he reached over and grabbed Li Qing's shoulder, trying to "escort" Li Qing out.
Li Qing slightly shifted to the side, saying, "I can walk by myself!"
Kakuzu's gaze grew increasingly hostile.
"Your sincerity makes it difficult for me to cooperate with you," Li Qing said with a light cough, his tone becoming much more authoritative.
"you!"
"If this delays my cooperation with Tu, I only ask you, can you bear this responsibility?"
Li Qing squatted down, plucked a blade of grass, put it in his mouth, raised his eyebrows, and gave a nonchalant and disdainful look.
Kakuzu trembled with rage at Li Qing's words. He really wanted to kill this infuriating guy with a single punch, but as Li Qing said, if Tu really cooperated with Li Qing, then killing Li Qing now would be tantamount to deliberately provoking trouble and questioning Tu's authority. Thinking of this, Kakuzu was so angry that he couldn't hit him or scold him. He could only angrily utter a curse: "You brat, you just wait!"
What are you doing?
Kakuzu realized that Li Qing was incredibly bold. While he was talking to him, Li Qing was squatting down and stroking the big black dog's head, completely disregarding him. This was the complete opposite of his behavior when he first arrived at the tribe!
"Big Black seems hungry."
Li Qingdao.
"What?"
Jiao didn't understand at all.
"Big Black seems hungry."
Li Qing repeated it again.
He held out his hand: "This is for Big Blackie. Oh, and by the way, give me some too. I think the fruit next to Tu looks delicious. I'd love to try some."
Kakuzu was afraid that Tu would hear, so he walked step by step to Li Qing, put his hands firmly on Li Qing's shoulders, lowered his voice, and said word by word, "Don't go too far!"
"It's just some fruit, that's not an unreasonable request, is it?" Li Qing said. "Or are you willing to replace Tu and give up cooperating with our tribe?"
In those days, the chieftain's status was equivalent to that of an emperor. Upon hearing this, Kakuzu was terrified and quickly looked around. Unfortunately, just then, several people walked by and noticed the commotion. They all looked in this direction and pointed at the area.
From a distance, Kakuzu couldn't hear what they were saying, but he sensed an ominous premonition from their behavior. "Damn it, Gu Mai, you two better get your work done. If you don't finish, you're not eating today!"
These people who happened to be passing by were none other than Gu Mai and the others who had defected from the Red Flower Tribe that day. Unexpectedly, they had actually joined the Black Wind Tribe and were working as laborers here. Li Qing was very surprised to see Gu Mai and the others here. He could see that some of them were carrying large and small stones in their hands, and others were carrying the fruits they had picked on their backs. It seemed that they had just finished their work and happened to be passing by when they saw this scene.
Gu Mai and Li Qing exchanged glances—of course, Li Qing preferred to believe that he and the others were looking at Kakuzu.
Sensing a hint of danger in Kakuzu's eyes, they dared not gamble with their lives and quickly grabbed their belongings, fleeing the place.
Li Qing sighed inwardly, reaffirming that his decision was right. He couldn't detect a trace of guilt in the way Gu Mai and the others were looking at them.
Slightly annoyed, Li Qing vented his anger on Kakuzu: "Are you going or not?"
