Chu didn't take it seriously, seemingly thinking that this guy was just being stubborn and had no real chance of fighting back. He smiled indifferently and asked, seemingly casually, "Where are Gu Mai and the others now?"
He still hadn't forgotten the Gumai group who had sought refuge with the Black Wind Tribe.
Dian frowned. The name "Gu Mai" was already very unfamiliar to him. Hearing Chu Nian mention it made him feel uncomfortable. He coughed lightly and lowered his voice, saying, "Gu Mai is no longer a member of our tribe."
Chu turned around, glanced at Dian, and nodded heavily.
"I know."
Chu's expression seemed calm, but Dian had spent a long time with Chu and knew that Chu just wanted to see Gu Mai and the other brothers. Thinking of this, Dian sighed softly, unable to stop Chu, and let him ask Atuna, "Do you know where they are?"
Atuna's injuries rendered him unable to speak, so the warrior beside him spoke on Atuna's behalf to Chu: "He is now one of our tribesmen. You don't need to know where they are!"
Chu laughed loudly, "Interesting. Gu Mai has only been in your tribe for a few days, and you already consider him one of your own? When did your Black Wind Tribe become so kind-hearted?"
Chu rode his horse forward without any politeness, taking a few steps. He didn't even look at the warriors behind him, but instead circled around all the young people of the Black Wind Tribe, saying in a slightly provocative tone, "Maizi is right, hehe... If you guys were to give up so easily, you wouldn't be the Black Wind Tribe, and we wouldn't need to put aside our hatred to recruit you. Now it seems that we really have to beat you into submission first."
Wielding his stone axe in a chopping motion, Chu jumped off his horse and said, "Come on, you want to fight? Then let's see how many of you combined can defeat me!"
...
All you can inhale is thick smoke!
After killing several troublesome members of the White Feather tribe, Tu, like most of the others who had suffocated to death here, got lost.
Surrounded by a sea of fire and smoke obscuring his vision, Tu could still hold on, but his mind was in complete turmoil.
Am I going to die here?
Tu knew very well that if he wanted to leave this place now, the only thing he could rely on was luck!
There were corpses all around him, some from the White Feather Tribe and some from his own Black Wind Tribe. However, the Black Wind Tribe was generally much stronger, so the number of people who died was much less than that of the White Feather Tribe. Most of them were just like Tu, who got lost in this small Black Crow Forest.
Tu was furious. He was angry that he, a dignified chieftain, had been tricked by Li Qing. He was also amused by himself. He had lived here for so long and yet he had gotten lost. It was simply ridiculous!
However, in his heart, he admired Li Qing's ruthlessness more. The fire he started was really too serious. Wasn't he afraid at all? What would happen if the fire spread?
That bastard did something so outrageous just to destroy his own tribe. He's got some nerve!
As Tu was thinking this, he suddenly realized that he was surrounded by flames again. Apart from the path he had come from and a small path in front of him, all other places around him were engulfed in flames.
The butcher's options became only two: first, return the way he came; second, take the side path.
However, that side path was not a good choice.
The path looked winding and extremely narrow, and it seemed to lead in the same direction I had come from. In other words, if I took that path, I would likely spend a lot of effort only to end up back at the place surrounded by flames.
Besides having inhaled a large amount of smoke into his lungs, Chu's entire body was already charred black, some parts from the smoke of the flames and some from burns.
Tu is a level four warrior, so the fire didn't do much damage to him, which is why he's in such a bad situation, but he's still holding on.
But his body had its limits. Tu gritted his teeth, hesitating whether to take the seemingly safe path or take a risk and go straight through the sea of fire to see if he could find an exit.
Just then, a few figures popped out of the alley ahead.
"Tashan!"
Upon seeing Tashan, Tu immediately shouted loudly.
Tashan seemed to have just been driven to this area by the flames. When he saw the chief beckoning to him from the front, he immediately waved with delight and shouted, "Chief, you're alright!"
Tu said, "I'm fine, how about you?"
Tashan quickly ran towards Tu, followed by several people. These people were members of the Black Wind Tribe who had come to the Black Crow Forest with them. They were in a very sorry state; none of them were unharmed. Everyone had burns of varying degrees. Some of them had bruises and black marks on their faces and bodies, looking as if they had just crawled out of a coal mine. They were extremely disheveled. However, without exception, when they saw Tu appear in front of them, they all rushed over and excitedly surrounded him.
“We’re fine,” Tashan’s voice was still as loud as ever, “but we’re trapped. There are flames everywhere. I’ve led them around for ages, and apart from some scum of the White Feather Tribe, we can’t see any other members of our tribe, and we can’t find the exit at all!”
"We've all been fooled by Mai Zi, that bastard!"
Seeing Tu again eased Tashan's mind considerably, and he cursed, "Don't let me see where he is, or I'll be the first to smash his head in!"
When Li Qing was mentioned, Tu said in a low voice, "He can only be in one place now."
"Where?"
Tashan asked curiously.
Tu gritted his teeth: "Our tribe!"
"What is he doing in our tribe? Ah, could it be..." Tashan pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Tu nodded, his expression turning ferocious. "We were too merciful. We never expected the Red Flower Tribe to dare to pull this stunt on our tribe. When they came to me, I felt something was off. I never thought they would actually do this!"
Tashan hesitated for a moment, then said, "But Kakuzu and the others should still be in the tribe, so we don't need to worry..."
Tu sneered, "Do you think Kakuzu will continue to sit comfortably in the tribe after seeing such a huge fire in the Black Crow Forest? They are definitely on their way to rescue us now. And at this moment, the Black Wind Tribe is just an empty shell. This is exactly what the Red Flower Tribe wants to see!"
