Chapter 678 Youre Stupid If You Dont Run (2/2)

He was a member of ‘Changle’. This name might not be known here but it was a famous name on the other side.

“Changle” was not a tribe, they were a unique organisation formed by people of different backgrounds. The members loved taking risks and were a curious bunch. To them, everything else was boring and all they wanted was to rely on their sharp eyes to get themselves an opportunity for entertainment.

In simpler terms: they were a bunch of very curious adventurers, also the first batch of people from the other side of the ocean.

As for why they had not appeared much- that was because most had not mastered the language here. If they could not even speak the language, how would they seek entertainment? They could not even ask for directions.

If people on this side unanimously hated the ‘Robbers’, then on the other side, both slave masters and tribesmen found ‘Changle’ people revolting. This bunch of madmen would go around provoking other people when they were bored, finding joy in causing others pain.

After knowing that the ‘Changle’ people had crossed the ocean, people on the other side heaved a sigh of relief, as if the fly buzzing annoyingly in their ears had disappeared.

No one knew that the Changle’s first target was the Flaming Horn tribe. They were currently regrouping in a secret spot, waiting for the rest of their members to arrive and learning the local language to receive intel. Trickery required skills too.

Wu He was one of the first of them to master the local language.

Yi Si was not upset at the mocking tone. “It’s up to you to listen. You lent me two long-winged birds so I’ll return you the favour by warning you once again. It’s best you leave here as soon as possible. Something huge is happening.”

“A-ha, something huge? That’s even better! More the reason for me to stay!”

Wu He had just finished speaking when he paused and turned.

Yi Si looked at the sky outside the window and at Grasshopper who had been cowering in a corner. “It’s here.”

“What is here? What do you mean?” Wu He looked at Grasshopper.

Due to the beast blood inside Grasshopper, his control over his totemic energy was not as sophisticated and could not completely retract his totemic patterns. However, the totemic patterns on him were clear as ever now, like animal stripes. His coarse hair stood up like needles.

Huff---

Short cone-shaped pricks appeared on his back as his sunken eyes were filled with terror. Grasshopper kept retreating into the corner. This was a huge muscleman who could touch the roof of the house if he jumped, yet now he was trying hard to make himself disappear.

“What’s making him so scared?” Wu He raised an eyebrow and looked outside where the unusual aura was coming from.

Since he was far away, the feeling was faint. However, it was enough to make him uneasy.

Not just them, even Zheng Luo and the rest inside the Flaming River Castle and anyone more sensitive in the trading area sensed it.

What was happening?

At the entrance of the trading area, Kun Tu and the rest of the guys watched every person cautiously. Zheng Luo mentioned there had been suspicious people in the area but they were not able to pinpoint who. This meant the disguises were impressive.

Suddenly, a shrill and urgent whistle could be heard from the patrol team.

It was a warning call.

“Someone’s coming!”

Kun Tu’s eyes were locked ahead.

Very soon, they saw seven people scrambling out of the forest.

These seven people looked usually with different portions of their body covered in grey-white layer. It looked like colour pigment but upon closer inspection it looked more like rock.

They looked hysterically, as if they had just witnessed something terrifying, continuously letting out hoarse screams as they sprinted.

When they saw Kun Tu and the rest, their eyes lit up and they screamed, “Help!”

They had just been talking about how they would never set foot into the trading area yet during the escape, they had divided into two groups. One group ran off to another direction but these seven felt like a place with more people was safer. And there were more people to share the burden with.

The only place with more people was Flaming Horn. Hence why they ran over here.

Kun Tu obviously would not let them into the area just like that. He tied them all up, though they kept struggling and screamed their heads off, “It’s coming! Behind! Behind!”

Kun Tu did not know what they were talking about. He initially wanted to knock them out but thought that while they were hysterical, perhaps they had some information so he sent them to Zheng Luo.

When they struggled, the grey rock-like parts of their body seemed to chip off together with some flesh as they wriggled and tugged. Yet these seven people ignored their bleeding wounds and continued to scream.

“Boss, what did they see?” Duo Kang’s voice shook.

Kun Tu might not know what was going on but Duo Kang had his guesses. He refused to believe it.

How could this be?

How could they be so unlucky?

No, it’s not what he thinks.

Duo Kang brainwashed himself.

Zheng Luo dashed his hopes in the next moment.

Clutching his knife so tight his fingers turned white, he said in a strained voice, “Inform everyone there’s a king beast nearby!”

Thud!

Kun Tu’s hand slipped and the tied-up person collapsed on the ground.

“King… king beast?” Kun Tu felt a chill rushing down his body.

The person struggled even harder after hearing Zheng Luo, his throat extremely hoarse, “Let me go! I want to leave! I want to leave!”

Duo Kang ignored them. He walked up to the top of the tower, took a deep breath, then let out a huge roar.

“There’s a king beast nearby! Be careful everyone!”

With his advanced-level totemic power, his scream could be heard by everyone in the vicinity.

The bustling trading area fell silent as everyone digested this piece of information.

Very soon, the simmering pot boiled over.

A king beast is here!

Like a bomb tossed into water, it raised sky-high waves.

A king beast is here! What do we do?

Run, of course!

The other option was to die here!

Wu He, who was drinking water in Yi Si’s house, spat out his water with a ‘pfffft’, tossed his cup aside and leapt out of the window.

“Why are you running? Didn’t you want to stay and watch? To entertain yourself?” yelled Yi Si at the running Wu He.

“I’m looking for entertainment, not death! You can stay there on your own!”

No wonder I felt the chills! It’s a king beast! Wu He sprinted out of the trading area immediately.

To the people who rarely met regular fearsome beasts, king beasts were legendary figures. This did not prevent them from fearing its name. From the stories passed down by their ancestors, they knew that king beasts were indomitable. High casualties were certain during every encounter with one.

Of course, there were some odd ones out.

“Hahaha, I’ve waited for years, it’s finally here! I’m not running, I want to see the king beast!” someone yelled with two fists high in the air, his face red.

Everyone looked at him like he was insane.

“You’ll die if you don’t run!” his friend advised.

“It’s fine if I die! I just want to see what a king beast looks like! I’m staying! No one can stop me!”

He can’t be saved!

Everyone gave up on the stubborn man. There was no time to hesitate. They packed up and ran immediately. Any stupid idiots who wanted to stay could suit themselves.
