Chapter 713 – Countering the Night Attack Two (2/2)

Fragrant Flower market was not large. There were only four proper main streets, shaped like a box. With the Bone Eating shamans’ sharp sense of smell, around a hundred people was enough to search through the entire place. As long as they were close enough, even spices could not cover up his natural odour.

A Bone Eating shaman entered a gloomy alleyway before suddenly stopping. He sniffed with his nose. Within the heavy fragrance was a familiar scent. He could not help but smile viciously. The scent rapidly drew closer, and a gust of wind rushed down from above.

Goldie A’bao leapt down and pinned down the Bone Eating shaman firmly. The Bone Eating shaman let out a deep growl, which was the sound they would make when they found their prey during hunting. His voice was deep enough to not startle too many people, but it was enough for the other Bone Eating shamans to hear him clearly. None of them wanted to alarm the Fragrant Flower clan in Fragrant Flower market.

All of the Bone Eating shamans heard the disturbance and gathered over quickly. They only needed a moment to tear Goldie A’bao apart.

Goldie A’bao was soaked in cold sweat, and his blood seemed to freeze. Fear began to fill him uncontrollably. His opponents were Bone Eating shamans that had eaten the entire merchant group after all. Although he had become much stronger now, killing a Bone Eating shaman was anything but easy.

Li Qingshan extended his head out of the basket and pressed his hand on the Bone Eating shaman’s forehead.

By the time the other Bone Eating shamans arrived, only a withered corpse remained on the ground.

The Bone Eating chieftain said after an inspection, “His life force has been drained through extremely strange means. It’s no wonder that barbarian from Goldie fort is growing stronger and stronger. The baby is behind it all!”

At this moment, another deep growl rang out in the distance. They went over there to check, and there was another corpse of a Bone Eating shaman on the ground!

Before long, three Bone Eating shamans had been reduced to withered corpses.

As the power surged into him again and again, Goldie A’bao’s fear turned into ravishing joy. Under Li Qingshan’s orders, he rushed through the streets and alleyways. The blood in him boiled and burned. The Bone Eating shamans that had once brought him great fear had now become his prey. He was only waiting for a Bone Eating shaman to appear before him so that he could lunge over.

At the very beginning, he was only able to maintain a stalemate, waiting for Li Qingshan to take action and kill them, but now, he directly overwhelmed them. If it were not for the sake of devouring their life force, he could have even directly killed some of the weaker Bone Eating shamans.

Li Qingshan’s senses could completely overwhelm the Bone Eating tribe, grasping their movements perfectly. He could even tell who was stronger and who was weaker, fighting weak points to defeat them one by one. It was as easy as it could get. In the beginning, there was still a little bit of risk, but as Goldie A’bao grew stronger and stronger, the risk became smaller and smaller.

The Bone Eating shaman priest said, “Chief, gather everyone together!”

The Bone Eating chieftain was furious. Who knew how many years it had been since he suffered losses like this. He let out a strange, deep growl, and all the Bone Eating shamans converged together.

Li Qingshan ordered Goldie A’bao to stop and maintain his distance from them. If they were gathered together, they could not look for them, but they would face sneak attacks if they scattered. It was already checkmate!

However, he let out a gentle sigh. The true game had only just begun!

At this moment, the Bone Eating shaman priest’s sunken, hoarse voice drifted out slowly with the night wind, “Barbarian, you’ve killed so many of our tribesmen, so aren’t you afraid of revenge? Hand over the baby, and we’ll spare your life! Otherwise, we’ll butcher everyone and anything in Goldie fort. Your parents, siblings, wife, children, and clansmen will all die, and they will die in great agony!”

The voice was not loud, but it was extremely distinct in the quiet city. Goldie A’bao’s hearing had become extremely sharp, so his face changed immediately. All of his joy vanished. Although Goldie Fort had a shaman priest, they definitely stood no chance against the entire Bone Eating tribe.

Li Qingshan thought, Sure enough, all the bad people in the world are basically the same. If they can’t deal with you, they’ll use the people around you to threaten you! When Goldie A’bao set foot on the path of opposing the Bone Eating tribe, this was a problem he had to face.

“You don’t need to harm him. He’s very feeble right now, so he’s not your opponent. If you hand him over to us, you don’t have to worry about any revenge. I’ll count down from ten to let you consider. If you don’t reply, we’ll turn around and head to Goldie fort right now. Ten…”

The Bone Eating shaman priest’s tone fluctuated about, filled with an eerie temptation and pressure.

“Sir A’yue… what do I do?” Goldie A’bao asked with difficulty.

Goldie A’bao understood that if he truly possessed the power to kill these Bone Eating shamans, there was no need for him to use sneak attacks at all.

Li Qingshan said calmly, “Right now, there’s nothing you can do. We still don’t have the power for an open confrontation with them. However, you better think through it clearly. You’ve killed their people, so will they really spare you and your clansmen?”

“If it weren’t for you, why would I have…”

“If it weren’t for me, you’d be dead already. It’s not me who wants to kill your clansmen either!”

Li Qingsahn interrupted and shook his head. He was still a merchant after all! If he were a warrior, he would definitely fight until the end and fend off threats with threats. His career as a merchant that spanned several decades made him much shrewder than regular barbarians, knowing how to evaluate trade-offs and go with the flow, but it also made him lose his boldness and courage.

“Sorry, I’ve misspoken!”

Li Qingshan said, “You don’t need to apologise. I understand your difficulties. You have to decide on your path yourself. Even if you betray me, I’m not going to hate you!”

By now, the Bone Eating shaman priest had already reached “five”.

Four, three, two, one!

“Alright, I’ll hand him over to you. Don’t come over here, or I’ll kill him, and you won’t get anything. You need to swear in the name of your ancestors that you won’t harm me or my clansmen!”
