Not long ago.
Dian led the people of the tribe, struggling along the road surrounded by flames.
Surrounded by a sea of fire and with a gloomy sky, Dian lost his way and became increasingly agitated.
Now, everyone who has brought Dian out has placed all their hopes on him, but in this environment, Dian has no idea where to go.
One thing that made Dian feel somewhat fortunate was that most of the people he brought out had only minor injuries, and almost none of them were so badly injured that they couldn't walk.
The situation was slightly worse; the already small number of warhorses had been reduced to about half as the disaster progressed, and many of these warhorses were severely injured and required human care.
After Li Qing's explanation, Dian understood what these warhorses meant to the tribe, but besides feeling sorry for them, there was nothing else he could do.
Dian felt heavy-hearted, but he dared not show these emotions, as it would affect those around him. He led the tribesmen on a aimless journey around the area. He had only found about half of them so far, and the fate of the other half was still unknown. Dian was unwilling to give up, even though he had noticed changes in his skin color and blood clots on his body that he was unaware of.
To be precise, everyone in the tribe had similar changes to the injuries on Lieyan's body, but they didn't pay much attention to them.
Nowadays, their brothers in the tribe are more important to them than themselves.
They have already sacrificed too many brothers, and they don't want anyone else to sacrifice.
Where did those people go? He had searched the entire area, but he still couldn't find them. Dian felt a little unwilling. He knew that the longer it dragged on, the greater the chance that something had happened to those people, and he became more and more anxious.
If I can't find Yun and his group, how am I supposed to explain this to Mai Zi?
As they walked past a bonfire, Dian suddenly noticed that near the fire, under a huge rock, were two people trapped underneath.
The stone is enormous and heavy to them now, pressing down on them so much that they can't move an inch.
Are they our brothers from the tribe?
Dian was startled and squinted to look.
Because of the flames all around, the faces of these people were burned with black ash, and there were also injuries from bumps and knocks all over their faces, blurring their original appearance. For a moment, Ling Dian could not tell their identities. He only saw that the two people struggled and made weak cries for help after seeing him.
"Please, save us..."
A man stretched out his arm in pain, trying to grab Dian's ankle, but he was too badly injured. He struggled to crawl forward a few steps, but finally could not move any further.
Upon hearing the voice, Dian was startled; he finally recognized the person from the voice.
Slaughter!
It was him!
So that person... was also from the Black Wind Tribe?
Looking at the man next to Tu, who was much stronger than him.
"That person must be... Tashan, right?"
Why are it the two of them?!
Dian never expected that he would encounter the Black Wind Tribe in this place.
"What's wrong, Chief?"
Chu curiously leaned closer.
"Trapped? Come on, try to squeeze out, I'll help you lift the boulder and get you out." Chu rubbed his hands together enthusiastically, about to go up and help, but as soon as he got a little closer, he finally realized that the two people were actually two people from the Black Wind Tribe. He immediately cursed in dissatisfaction, "Damn it, it's you! No wonder the chief was standing there like that."
From Tu's perspective, he couldn't immediately recognize that the people in front of him were from the Red Flower Tribe. At first, he thought they were his own brothers. When they introduced themselves and revealed their identities, Tu was surprised to see a look of disgust flash across his face. He looked down on the Red Flower Tribe.
"Please, save us."
Tu continued.
Her voice was a little softer, and it didn't have the same "sincerity" as before.
Clearly, seeking help from the Red Flower Tribe was something this chief found unacceptable.
He secretly planned that once he came out and recovered from his injuries, he would definitely take the opportunity to kill these bastards from the Red Flower Tribe and avenge the warriors who died in the Black Crow Forest. Tu even wondered if the damned fire and the strange things that fell from the sky were all the work of those bastards from the Red Flower Tribe.
Dian looked at Tu with a cold expression.
This scene actually stirred a sliver of sympathy in Dian's heart. The dignified chieftain of the Black Wind Tribe was so pitifully begging for their help. But Dian was more reminded of Li Qing's words: "Those stubborn old men, don't give them a chance, just kill them. They will never repent. But those young people, we can give them a chance. Don't be fooled by their loyalty to their tribe; they are, after all, just a bunch of kids. We only need to apply half pressure and half persuasion. Once they realize they have nowhere else to turn, they will definitely come to our tribe."
So Dian quietly took the stone axe off his back.
"Chief!"
Boye cried out in surprise.
"Shh!"
Chu patted Boye hard on the back, telling him not to speak loudly.
"What's wrong with the chief?"
"Nonsense, can't you use your eyes to see?"
Chu cursed.
Boye exclaimed excitedly, "Great! I've disliked those two for a long time..."
"I told you not to say anything! What if they see us?!"
Chu repeated the curse.
Boye scratched his head and laughed, "Oh, okay, alright."
Tu pleaded for a long time in what he thought was a pitiful tone, but when he found it was useless, he got a little annoyed. He was also a man with a temper, and when had he ever begged for mercy in such a humble manner!
He trembled with rage.
Tashan, sensing the chief's emotional turmoil, darted around and whispered, "Chief, don't panic. These people are usually bullied by us, but now that they've finally temporarily stepped on our coattails, they're probably feeling smug. Don't let that affect you. Let's get out of here first, as long as we get out of this place..."
Tashan's face suddenly turned horrified. He suddenly realized that Dian, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised his axe and struck Tu's neck with lightning speed!
Perhaps the artery of the butcher was severed, and blood gushed out like a fountain. In an instant, the blood flowed like a river. The butcher had no idea that Dian would suddenly make a move. After being hit, he could only twitch his body a few times and cough up several mouthfuls of blood in pain. Soon, he lay on the ground, motionless, and died.
"Chief...Chief...Bastards, Red Flower Tribe, how dare you kill people!"
Tashan's eyes turned red as he desperately tried to climb out of the boulder and fight Dian to the death.
Dian simply looked coldly at Tashan and said, "You'll be next soon."
