Chapter 712 – Countering the Night Attack One (1/2)

“Don’t worry, they’ll slow down very soon!”

Li Qingshan said unworriedly. He had never treated these Bone Eating shamans as any sort of opponent. If they really caught up, he could directly abandon Goldie A’bao, and he would be free to go anywhere. Could a mere group of shamans lock onto his scent?

However, he would lose his means of transport, and it would be much more troublesome for him when he looked for the Asura Field. At the end of the day, his appearance as a child still brought much inconvenience, which was why he played around with him for now, waiting for some more time to pass, and he recovered some of his strength. By then, he would go knocking on their doors and make them bleed one by one!

Sure enough, the Bone Eating shamans stopped. Something happened to them!

Goldie A’bao noticed something. “It’s the place we detoured around!”

A huge, multicoloured toad crouched by a pond, blocking the path of the Bone Eating shamans. It gave off faint daemon qi, and its bubble-like eyes locked firmly onto them.

“We’re finally back!”

Standing outside the city gates of the Fragrant Flower market, Goldie A’bao exhaled deeply. He entered the city quickly, refusing to remain out there for even a second longer.

A while later, the Bone Eating shamans arrived too. They hid in the jungle and gazed at the city gates from afar. They were extremely furious. They had killed the toad monster after so much difficulty, even losing two tribesmen in the process, who disintegrated in the blink of an eye due to poison, yet they could not even eat the baby now.

“Chief, they’ve entered the city. What do we do?”

The expression of the Bone Eating chieftain was viciously twisted. He was tempted to rush right in, capture that barbarian from Goldie fort, skin him alive, and eat the baby alive. If it were a few years ago, he definitely would have done exactly that. The Fragrant Flower clan was rather powerful, but there was nothing they could do. However, it was different now.

“The damned women of the Fragrant Flower clan have ties with the White Lotus cult. We cannot barge in blindly!” the Bone Eating shaman priest said.

He understood that the Bone Eating tribe could run amok freely in the rainforest, but compared to the White Lotus cult, they were merely a small insect that could be squatted to death at any time.

The Bone Eating chieftain looked back and said sternly, “Are we supposed to just spare them like this?”

“Of course not. Once it’s night, we’ll infiltrate the city and leave as soon as we capture them. Even those damned women probably won’t fall out with us over something like this. If worst comes to worst, we’ll just admit our wrongdoings to them. As long as you eat the baby and undergo the heavenly tribulation, chieftain, you’ll be able to become an altar lord of the White Lotus cult. The Fragrant Flower market will become ours too.”

The Bone Eating chieftain’s expression eased up. “Alright, we’ll do that then! There are ten or twenty thousand people in the city at the very least. When that day comes, we’ll let our children feast to their heart’s content. Let’s see who can still stop us!”

“Alright!” The Bone Eating shamans roused with enthusiasm.

Little did they know that Li Qingshan heard their entire conversation, word for word, from the basket. He pouted. “They sure do know how to seek death!”

“What’s the matter, sir?” Goldie A’bao’s ear twitched, and he asked softly.

Li Qingshan repeated what the Bone Eating shamans had said, and Goldie A’bao paled in fright. Originally, he thought the Bone Eating shamans would shrink back due to the difficulties as long as they entered the Fragrant Flower market. He never thought they would actually be willing to take on such great risks.

This was not because Goldie A’bao was not shrewd enough, but purely because his status had been too low, and his experiences had been too limited. In the world that he used to live in, there was not a single barbarian who dared to cause trouble in the Fragrant Flower market, or only death would be awaiting them. This led to the false impression that the Bone Eating tribe was afraid of entering the city. However, he failed to anticipate just how great of a temptation Li Qingshan was to the Bone Eating tribe.

“What do we do? No, we have to seek protecting from the Fragrant Flower house!” Goldie A’bao said. The Fragrant Flower house was the central region of Fragrant Flower market, the residential area of the Fragrant Flower clan.

“And why would they protect you? As long as the Bone Eating tribe is willing to pay the price, the Fragrant Flower clan might just sell you out immediately!”
