Chapter 461 (1/2)

Kill!

The Flaming Horn army was divided into three teams, stealthily heading towards the salt mines. Every team was led by experienced salt mine guards who were familiar with hidden paths. This was so that the people at the mines would not be able to see them.

Although the Flaming Horn guards were forced out, the traps they set here had not been taken out. There was evidence of these traps being set off by other people. Their advantage was that they were familiar with the rocky terrain, they could walk here with their eyes closed since it was their part of the mines.

Now, the three teams were all close to the mines. Their success was due to their experience and that the people stationed at the mines were focused on people destroying the cave. Third, the birds usually keeping watch in the skies were all unsettled enough to hide in their caves. Of course, the most important reason-- Fox and Shen Forest tribes had not expected the Flaming Horn tribe to arrive so soon.

Zheng Luo’s suppressed anger exploded in a second, he launched the attack first. His pupils dilated with his emotion and totemic power surged within his entire being in a second. His muscles rippled as totemic patterns flowed like lava. His furious scowl was menacing.

He sprung forward with one giant leap, his body charging ahead like a lit cannon. Grains of salt on the ground flew in his trail. His eyes wanted death, slashing a tightly gripped wide bronze knife. Such power had only been seen in a forest beast, baring its teeth!

With a cold glint from the tip of the blade, a whistle could be heard as his knife cut through the air. It sounded like how the wind cut through the rough sand formations before a storm.

The person nearest to Zheng Luo was a guard from Fox tribe. Since the cave was collapsing at the mouth, he switched from his post to stand on a boulder outside the mouth. When he heard Zheng Luo, he turned and made a gesture to shield himself but it was too late.

The blade sliced into his waist. There was the faint smell of salt.

Pfft!

In the next moment, the blade had exited his back. Such a powerful slash did not meet any resistant. The blade was now stained with blood. Violence was in the air.

The person who was cut in half collapsed, his eyes still filled with terror and disbelief.

After his first kill, Zheng Luo did not retract his knife. Surfing on his momentum, he slashed horizontally to slash up another person’s torso. The knife did not meet any resistance either, chopping the other guard in half. You could tell how powerful his movements were.

Blood made the salt pieces on the ground brighter.

The smell of blood wafted through the air, bringing with it a chilling killing aura.

Didn’t they say the Flaming Horn and the other two were only arriving tomorrow?!

Who freaking said so?!

When they looked up, they were met with a pair of deathly eyes, identical to a ravenous forest predator.

The people in salt mines, out of terror, screamed. “Flaming Horn! It’s the Flaming Horn tribe!!”

Men who were sitting, standing, everyone from the Fox and Shen Forest tribe quickly picked up their weapons to fight.

Duo Kang, who was rushing towards the salt mines from another direction had an axe in his hand. The axe was filled with its owner’s fury, as if it was crackling with electricity. As they met the closest Shen tribesman, the opponent blocked with his sword, Duo Kang’s wrist jerked, the trajectory of the axe changed its angle and its sharp blade crashed into his opponent’s arm. If the guy had not moved, his torso would have been hacked in half.

Duo Kang deflected the sword away and cut the now one-armed man again. He roared at the top of his voice, “I don’t care which tribe you’re from! You stole our salt mines! Kill! How dare you destroy our caves! Kill! Kill! Kill!” He was furious when he saw their collapsed mines.

“Aooooo!”

The Flaming Horn tribesmen unleashed a peculiar war cry. All the warriors who were hiding quietly no longer had to suppress their anger. They raised their weapons and charged like maniacs!

You dare steal our mines?!

Kill!

You dare destroy our caves?!

Kill! Kill!

What? You’re not from the Fox or Shen, you were just recruited to help out?

Do you take me for an idiot? What’s that red and white block in your hand? Meat? That’s freaking salt! You’d probably taken it from OUR mines!

What are you doing here? Mining ore? Oh, but you’re destroying the cave at the same time? Even idiots won’t do that, you think I’ll believe you?

Kill!

Battles over territory and resources operated by one rule: if you don’t die, I’ll die.

White and red salt grains scattered all over the ground were now splattered in blood.
