Chapter 192 – The traps in the fores (2/2)
“We can’t let the others take those things away ahead of us. Hurry up. ”
Before the leader said anything more, the other members hurriedly set out again. The tribe wars had brought them a lot of benefits, so when they found the remains of such a big tribe, they immediately wondered whether they could get something precious.
Yan Jiu had said those in the Wan Shi tribe were very greedy and their greed often overwhelmed their reason. That was why they would do so many crazy things.
In recent years, the slave owners had come to the central region more and more frequently. They especially enjoyed traveling to the places where the Wan Shi tribe had been.
Before they left, a warrior of this tribe took off his hide pants and intended to piss against the stone engraved with “Flaming Horns”. Such a stone with the name of the tribe or totem pattern was not just some border stone for a tribe. In the eyes of those in the tribe, it was important, like the rock paintings in the Mang tribe. If anyone pissed against the stone paintings, the members of the Mang tribe must attack him fiercely, because according to the tribal rules, that was a provocation.
However, Flaming Horns tribe had disappeared for nearly a thousand years so those in the Wan Shi tribe had nothing to fear. Even if anyone came to attack them, they could kill them directly. Someone had tried cutting the stone with a blade, but the stone was quite hard, so it wasn’t broken. They planned to carry the stone away and change it into tools.
This group of warriors continued to move forward and searched for the men and things they wanted. After several steps, the leader found something wrong and turned back to look at the man who was maintaining the same posture next to the big stone.
Why isn’t he pissing?
“Done?” The leader asked.
No one replied.
The other warriors complained. We also want to piss against the stone, but we have to hurry up. Why are you standing there? What’s wrong with you? If we delay, the others may get the rewards.
Someone was about to say something more, but he was stopped by the leader.
As the leader of this group, he was quite alert, since he found something wrong, he went there with vigilance and took out the stone knife to poke the warrior standing there.
The warrior originally standing there fell down silently.
Everyone was worried and wondered when he was attacked, and why their Wan Shi beasts didn’t notice.
Something was rustling.
The slight noise came from the surrounding bush and the noise was so low that no one could hear it if they were not careful enough.
Three of their Wan Shi beasts had good hearing, so they got mad at once, roared and rushed there. The warriors who pulled the Wan Shi beasts loosened the rope to let them go.
The leader glanced at the others to tell them to be careful and then led them to follow the Wan Shi beasts.
Louder sounds were heard in the bush as if someone had just left here swiftly. Within a second, he had run far away from them.
“Go ahead.”
“Ouch.”
A warrior’s foot was caught and he shouted in a soft voice. Soon he was silent and his body was pierced by a needle.
Then three other warriors were tied and hung up one by one. Their lives were also ended by a needle.
At this moment, the rest of them became scared. They looked at the bushy trees with fear. There were more and more trees and weeds in the surrounding area, so they couldn’t see clearly and they just depended on their hearing. They really wondered how many people were hiding near them.
One warrior cursed and then he suddenly felt a great pain in his ankle. He thought he would be hung like the other warriors but it turned out that he was dragged aside very quickly.
One more warrior was pulled away and became silent.
The warrior staying in the original place didn’t follow them but held a weapon to chase the Wan Shi beasts slowly and alertly.
The leader waved his sword to cut the pile of weeds but he didn’t find anything strange. Then he spat and cursed silently.
Before they even saw the enemies of the other tribes, they fell into the traps again and again. But they still failed to find the end of the traps.
Within a second, four more warriors died.
They felt upset and they became irritated by this situation. Not to mention, they had a bad temper.
When they launched a tribe war, they had never faced such a situation. At that time, they had played to their strengths and had been able to cut their enemies with their swords.
But this way didn’t work here.
They didn’t get used to this new way of fighting.
Moreover, in this forest they were worried that ferocious beasts or threats would appear suddenly. They had to be careful about the paths under their feet.
Their Wan Shi beasts ran far away from them, so they couldn’t order them to come back.
It seemed that someone had managed to make the Wan Shi beasts run away and then hid here to fight against them, the leader thought.
“Do I need to whistle?” A warrior asked the leader.
“No.” They just came here only a while ago. So if they asked for help he felt he would lose face and prestige. The leader’s eyes were filled with distress.
Rustle.
Another warrior was tied on the neck and was pulled over. He just opened his mouth but failed to make any voice. He wanted to shout but he was tied so tightly that his face twisted.
Puff.
A wood needle pierced his neck, he was poisoned and fell unconscious and no longer struggled.
The leader and the others looked up to the sky.
A silk thread.
Such silk threads…belonged to the Eight Limbs tribe.
It shouldn’t be. The Eight Limbs tribe was a little far from here. And this tribe didn’t get involved in a war. The Wan Shi tribe could defeat several small tribes, but if a big tribe fought in a war, more powerful tribes would be involved in it.
The Eight Limbs tribe didn’t want to get anything from this forest.
