Chapter 693 - I Won’t Tell Even If I Starve! (2/2)

Actually, delivering a letter was not a difficult task at all. They just needed some time to get there.

They couldn’t help questioning the Flaming Horn’s intention when they thought about the destination addressed in the letter.

“The Flaming Horns really have great ambition,” that person remarked.

“What do you mean ambition? I don’t see them declaring a battle with anyone,” another Chang Le member was in doubt.

“Some things can be attained without a battle.”

Wu He stared idly as the other Chang Le members left. Then they brought him back to the cave and locked him back up.

“Oh no. Did our leader give up on us?” another prisoner asked sadly.

“Of course not! Our leader came to an agreement with the Flaming Horns. They’ll definitely come back for us once the deal is finished,” Wu He said. It wasn’t that he didn’t understand it. He just didn’t want to stay locked up here. They had to fight with mosquitoes everyday, not to mention those rough grains. The Flaming Horns planted so many grains, and yet they fed them these!

Wu He complained about it once, but the Flaming Horns only said, “A prisoner of war should look like a prisoner of war.”

You stole from us and you’re still bold enough to complain? Is there bird poop in your brain?

“I want meat! Hot, freshly roasted, fearsome beast meat. Oh, also meat soup…” Wu He shouted while nobody cared. He never expected the Flaming Horns to really treat them with hospitality. He shouted merely to vent.

He heard footsteps approaching. Someone had entered the cave. Wu He and the other four prisoners heard the guards address that person “Grand Elder”.

The footsteps were getting closer. As he approached, there was also a smell of roasted meat. It smelled absolutely delicious! They knew immediately from the smell that they definitely put seasonings on the meat. They had a taste of this seasoned meat once in the trading point. It was also because of this that they salivated faster than usual.

Wu He wiped away the saliva on the corner of his lips and looked at the person who came.

“It’s not impossible, you know, if you want to eat fresh hot fearsome beast meat.” Shao Xuan was holding a bowl of meat. He uncovered the bowl before he entered the cave. The wind was blowing into the cave, carrying with it the aroma of the delicious meat.

Wu He breathed in heavily twice. After he heard what Shao Xuan said, he crawled up and both of his eyes brightened. He looked like a wolf that had been starving, “What are the conditions?”

He wasn’t stupid. The Flaming Horns would never give these to them without asking for anything in return.

Shao Xuan took out a black object and threw it to Wu He, “How did you guys make this?”

Wu He could tell what it was as soon as he saw it. That was the black giant shield they carried when they stole the grains in the Flaming Horn plantations. Shao Xuan was only holding a small piece in his hand.

What were Chang Le’s most afraid of?

Temptation!

Their excessive curiosity made them vulnerable to temptations, regardless of whether these temptations were food or something else.

But now, even if these delicacies were tempting, they didn’t dare say another word about it.

That was Chang Le’s secret. They would never tell anyone, even if it meant they would starve to death.
