"For the sake of the Blazing Flame," Tu roared, "you have the nerve to say it's for the sake of the Blazing Flame? Do you know how angry I was after you said those words?!"
"If there weren't so many people here, and if you weren't one of the more talented young people, I would have killed you right now. Do you even know that?!"
With a face full of sorrow and despair, Atuna said, "But now only the Red Flower Tribe can save her."
"Then why didn't you stop all of this from happening sooner!" Tu's face was twisted in rage. This was a completely enraged Tu that Li Qing had never seen before. At this moment, Tu seemed to have completely lost his mind, and his actions were even more in line with his name. "Whether it was stopping the White Feather Tribe from plotting against Lieyan, or risking your life to stop the Red Flower Tribe from killing all the people of the White Feather Tribe, you could have done it all. Why didn't you do it!"
"..."
Atuna didn't want to explain.
"Speak up! Why won't you say anything!"
"Tu Bi asked."
"..."
"Hmph, not going to say anything, huh?"
Tu sneered.
Just then, the Moth Witch, who had been silent all along, walked up to Atuna.
As soon as Moth Witch did this, Tu stopped talking.
He still respected the Moth Witch.
The Moth Witch squatted down in front of Atuna, but had no intention of extending a hand to help Atuna up. Instead, she said in an icy tone, "I know you're doing this for the good of Blaze, but do you know what your words just now mean to our tribe?"
"I don't know, Moth Witch."
Adu Na said calmly.
"It means betrayal."
Moth Witch looked intently at Atuna and said.
He preemptively spoke before Atuna could explain, saying, "Don't rush, I know you have your reasons, but have you considered what would happen to our tribe if we did what you said and even if we saved the Flame?"
Adu Na gritted his teeth.
Of course he knew.
"Without you young forces, how can we rely on those ten or so people?" Moth Witch turned to Tu and sighed, "If that happens, our tribe is finished. It won't be long before the Red Flower Tribe surpasses us. Do you want to see that?"
Atuna was speechless.
Tu sneered, "Atu Na, I know you're doing this for the good of our tribe, but you're thinking too simply. Do you only know how to do what Li Qing wants? Haven't you thought about taking care of these troublesome guys first, then going to the Red Flower Tribe and threatening them with their lives to make them heal Lie Yan? That would be much better than the plan Li Qing gave us."
Tu's words were met with approval from the onlookers, who cheered for their chieftain. At the same time, a small group of people, sensing that the atmosphere had eased, quietly advised Atuna not to rush and to just do as Tu said.
But at that moment, Li Qing, as if he had entered an empty place, walked into the center of these people—if Li Qing hadn't spoken up, no one would have even noticed that Li Qing had already blended into their group.
“It’s a pity that we moved our tribe from our original place a long time ago. It’s just an empty space now, with nothing left,” Li Qing said. “In other words, only we know the exact location of the rest of our tribe. If you really kill all of our people, then unfortunately, there’s no way to save Lieyan.”
"That bastard, when did he..."
"They actually came here to die!"
Tu waved his hand: "No, calm down."
Looking at Li Qing, Tu said with a mocking smile, "Who are you trying to fool?"
Li Qing laughed loudly a few times, and said sarcastically, "Are you really unaware, or are you pretending not to know?"
"?"
"This place is about to be destroyed."
Li Qing said succinctly.
“Strange phenomena occurred here three days ago,” Li Qing said. “So for the past three days, we have been actively preparing for battle and leading the tribe to find a new place to live.”
After saying that, Li Qing shrugged, with an expression that said, "You guys don't even know?"
Li Qing's words were half true and half false. He didn't even describe the strange phenomenon in detail, only giving a brief description. He wanted to ask the Black Wind Tribe to recall that scene—after all, the commotion was quite large, and Li Qing didn't believe that the people in the Black Wind Tribe wouldn't have noticed it. He believed that even someone as meticulous as Tu would believe at least 70-80% of what he said.
Li Qing added at the opportune moment: "That's why the moonstones, or the prey from various places around our tribe, 'disappeared.' In fact, they didn't go anywhere; they just went to seek refuge."
After Li Qing finished speaking, Tu and the warriors around him fell silent, seemingly recalling the scene that had left a deep impression on them at the time. Combined with Li Qing's words, this greatly moved the Black Wind Tribe members.
Food is extremely important to any tribe, regardless of its strength or weakness. Li Qing's words deeply moved the Black Wind Tribe members. Combining what he said with what others had said, they all felt that what he said made a lot of sense. Tu saw all of this and glared at Li Qing, as if trying to determine whether what he said was true or false.
Li Qing feigned surprise, exclaiming in astonishment, "You don't think I'm lying to you, do you?"
This kid knows he's being suspected!
Tu felt inexplicably irritated. He felt as if he were a child when he was with Li Qing, and every move he made could not escape Li Qing's eyes. More importantly, Li Qing's words were reasonable and well-founded, leaving Tu with no way to find any flaws. He could only lower his voice and say, "Of course not. I should thank you for reminding me."
"but."
Tu Chongchongdao.
"Thanks for reminding me of that, Li Qing, or should I call you Wheat now?" Tu said. "Whatever you think, I feel that we're pretty close now, right? You told me such important news, so I have something important to tell you too. Do you want to hear it?"
Li Qing frowned. He had a bad feeling. Was Tu going to fight to the death?
Although Tu asked the question, he didn't seem to want Li Qing to answer it. Instead, he answered himself, "Fine, I'll just tell you directly. After knowing this news, I'm even less able to agree to your agreement with Atuna. For the sake of our Black Wind Tribe, you people will all die here today, no matter what!"
"As for Blazing Flame, my daughter... you don't need to worry about that."
