Before Li Qing could give the order to attack, Atuna, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly thought of something crucial and shouted, "Don't make a move!"
Li Qing turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Huff, huff..." Atuna said, panting heavily, "Lieyan hasn't woken up yet. Only the White Feather tribe has the antidote. What will happen to Lieyan if you kill them all?"
Li Qing really didn't know about this. He turned his head and asked the person next to him. After receiving a positive answer, he said to Black Foot and the others in the encirclement with an exaggerated expression, "I was wondering why the atmosphere was so strange when I came. So this is what happened. I guess only your White Feather Tribe could do something like this."
These words naturally did no harm to Blackfoot. He grinned maliciously at Atuna and said, "It's too late, Atuna. The situation is beyond repair now. Blame yourself for not agreeing to our terms earlier."
"You're despicable!"
In truth, he already knew the answer in his heart. He pursed his lips bitterly, blaming himself for not realizing it sooner. If he had realized it sooner and stopped Li Qing from killing Yu, there would still have been room for maneuver. Now... it was indeed too late to say anything.
Why is this happening? Atuna has never felt so desperate. He blames himself for all the mistakes, believing himself to be a complete waste who can't even protect the flames. How can he face the chieftain?
Thinking this, Atuna actually took a stone axe from his companion, seemingly intending to commit suicide there.
"Wait a minute."
Li Qing frowned at him and asked, "What are you trying to do?"
Atuna retorted, sticking his neck out, "It's none of your business!"
Li Qing laughed angrily: "What a joke! You're about to commit suicide, how can I just ignore it? I came to your tribe this time with the intention of incorporating all of you young warriors into our tribe so that our tribe can become stronger, not so you can commit suicide!"
He could tell that Atuna was one of the more outstanding ones among these people, so he couldn't let Atuna die. After all, if they were successfully brought back to their tribe afterward, Atuna could help Chu and the others guide the younger generation, which would reduce the pressure on Chu and the others.
Atuna: "Why should I listen to you?"
"Because you don't dare to die now."
"What, you bastard, are you underestimating me?!" Atuna was enraged. He held the stone axe horizontally to his abdomen, as if he was about to make a slash at any moment.
"Calm down, Atuna, you can't die!"
"That bastard is just trying to provoke you. If you die, his scheme will succeed. Don't die!"
"There will definitely be a way to deal with the Blazing Flame. Didn't Moth Witch say that it's up to him? So don't worry!"
Li Qing sneered, "Scheme? I just made it clear that I don't want him to die, so what scheme is there to talk about? I'm just stating a fact. Atuna, am I right? If you really wanted to die, would you still be here with me, spouting so much useless nonsense?"
Atuna's hand holding the stone axe trembled. He lowered his head, not daring to look at anyone, as if he were having a fierce internal struggle.
Li Qing did not give the order to kill the Baiyu tribe members first; he simply watched Atuna quietly.
A Tu could feel the look Li Qing was giving him, a feeling that tormented him immensely. After what seemed like an eternity, he finally couldn't take it anymore. With a "clang," the heavy stone axe fell to the ground, and he himself slumped to his knees, his face filled with despair and disappointment.
Li Qing: "If you don't want to die, then..."
Just as he was about to continue, Black Foot, who was surrounded, laughed arrogantly: "So you really don't dare to die. Looks like you're a piece of trash too. Heh, Atuna, I advise you to just die. Anyway, Blazing Flame is beyond saving. Don't you feel guilty for living?"
Atuna's voice sounded like a mosquito's buzz: "With the Moth Witch here, with the Moth Witch here...it will definitely..."
"Moth Witch?" Blackfoot laughed loudly. "You're still talking about Moth Witches, you idiot! If the poison in Flame's body could be so easily cured, do you think we would still come to your tribe to negotiate? Atuna, I always thought you were smart, but I didn't expect you to be just as stupid as those guys from the Red Flower Tribe. Ahahaha, let me tell you the truth, tonight, before sunset, Flame will vomit blood and die!"
Blackfoot continued, "Oh, right, let me remind you of something. Spitting blood is just a minor matter. Because at that time, the insect eggs inside her body will gradually hatch into cute little insects. Then they will devour all of Flame's internal organs from the inside out. Imagine that scene. Your Flame will become a delicious meal for the insects and a tool for laying eggs. This is what she deserves, and it is the price your tribe should pay! The only thing I regret is that it would have been even better if she could have given me some pleasure before she died."
Blackfoot grew increasingly excited as he spoke, seemingly forgetting the danger he was in. At his most animated moments, he became animated, even jumping and gesturing wildly. His lips moved incessantly, and he continued his tirade, thoroughly criticizing the Flame and Blackwind tribes, "You cowards, you wimps! You think you've succeeded? See? I swear, you'll do the same sooner or later..."
Blackfoot's body froze.
Boye said unhappily, "Sorry, Wheat, I just can't stand his mouth, it really annoys me!"
Ban Shi asked impatiently, "Can we make our move now? These guys are really annoying!"
Li Qing nodded and said, "That's fine."
Then he said to Big Black, "Do as I say, leave no survivors, kill them all!"
Blackfoot's words made Li Qing completely lose patience and realize that they were a group of people who could not be trusted at all. This tribe may have seemed harmless to the Red Flower Tribe before, but Li Qing knew very well that as time went on, the White Feather Tribe would definitely be a more dangerous tribe than the Black Wind Tribe. This kind of tribe could not be "recruited" at all; extermination was the only fate they deserved.
Li Qing turned his back, no longer looking at the bloody scene, and walked straight to Atuna's side. Ignoring the hostile gazes around him, he squatted down and looked directly at Atuna's face, saying, "Lieyan won't die."
