Chapter 764 - You Guys Are Finally Here! (2/2)

“Sure, you can merge your fire seed there. Merge after we get there. I don’t care when, but it must be merged!” Dian Fa emphasised.

The Lu shaman glanced over at Bai Xing after hearing this. Judging by their current situation, this was the only way out.

Under the pressure of some elders around him, Bai Xing managed to inhale deeply and was about to say something when his facial expression suddenly changed.

The others’ faces changed too. Yan Jiu got to his feet and rushed outside. Something happened within their animal pens. The Lu tribesmen might be a little slow when it came to other matters, but if something happened to their beasts, they could sense it right away. The beasts that were stolen left the animal pens voluntarily after they were attracted by the bait so they couldn’t sense anything unusual when those beasts left. Even the guards couldn’t sense anything.

However, even though the Thousand Masks tribesmen didn’t feel anything significant, it was a completely different case for the Lu tribesmen.

“What happened? Are those foreigners here again?” Yan Jiu asked.

“I…I don’t know,” the person who was asked was still dumbfounded.

“Why are you still looking? Hurry and check to see what’s wrong over there!” Yan Jiu glowered at him. He was so furious that his veins felt like they were about to pop.

Is this even the time to be dumbfounded?!

As he said this, Yan Jiu rushed and departed to the animal pens. He trusted himself more than these cowards. They were under too much pressure. They might not even be able to tell anything apart if they went.

He had only taken two steps out of the house when he saw one of his tribesmen leading a giant black cow towards his direction.

This cow was usually assigned to pulling carts. It was different from other animals they reared and was more alert and sensitive to dangers. It had been trained very well.

Now, that black cow was stomping the ground with its hooves nervously.

“Something’s wrong!” Yan Jiu’s eyebrows knitted. He suddenly thought, could it be the Flaming Horns?

If it wasn’t the Flaming Horns, could it be those foreigners again?

Yan Jiu looked with mixed emotions at the person who pulled the black cow here. He didn’t know if he should feel happy or worried.

The black cow suddenly turned and looked in one direction.

Yan Jiu’s eyes followed.

Dawn had just broken, but the ground was already so bright that they could see everything clearly.

Yan Jiu rushed over to the edges of their territory. The person who brought the cow over also followed him.

After scanning the woods, he seemed to have not noticed anything. Yan Jiu turned toward the cow. It was now looking up into the sky. He immediately looked up.

In the sky, there was a silhouette of a bird.

Very soon, the bird’s shadow grew larger as it descended. Like a gust of wind, the bird landed and a figure jumped off from its back.

Dian Fa and the other Lu tribesmen also rushed over and saw everything.

Bam!

It sounded like a meteorite had crashed. The moment this figure landed, they heard a loud sound and cracks began to widen from where he landed, spreading across the ground in a weblike pattern. Dried soil flew up from the ground and instantly turned to dust. The dust flew up into the sky, like a thick mist covering the figure.

The ground’s quakes sent tremors through their feet.

Dian Fa blocked the dust with his arms and squinted his eyes to look at the figure that had just landed. There was too much dust and he couldn’t tell who this person was. He could only hear footsteps approaching them.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

As the footsteps approached, the dust also cleared.

Dian Fa was feeling gloomy, but when he realised who it was, he felt the chills down his spine. Through gritted teeth he managed to say, “Shao Xuan of the Flaming Horns?!” He spoke hesitantly and every word seemed to carry some weight.

After saying this, he turned his head to look at Bai Xing and the other Lu tribesmen. His eyes were daggers as he glanced at them. He managed to force these words out of his gritted teeth,

“You guys approached the Flaming Horns?!”

The senior members of the Lu tribe were very secretive about their discussions and Dian Fa only heard that there was such a possibility, but he never thought that the Flaming Horns would actually come to help these losers!

Since Shao Xuan of the Flaming Horn tribe was already here, the other Flaming Horns were probably not far away and would probably arrive soon. Damn these Flaming Horns! They ruined all of the Thousand Masks tribe’s plans!

Dian Fa’s face was still jerking as he observed the dent formed in the ground where Shao Xuan landed as well as the netlike quakes that formed in the ground due to the impact. He looked again at Shao Xuan who was walking towards them. He had to admit even if he didn’t like it that the Flaming Horns had a stronger physique and they were no match for them.

He wasn’t afraid of starting a fight with the Lu tribesmen, but he didn’t dare to provoke the Flaming Horns, especially their Grand Elder.

No wonder his eyelids began to jerk early this morning. He had an ominous premonition about this. Dian Fa cursed the Lu tribe’s ancestors for this.

“Aha!” the clouded feelings in Yan Jiu’s heart finally dispersed when he saw Shao Xuan. Seeing Shao Xuan come personally meant that the Flaming Horns chose to help them.

“Shao Xuan, you’re finally here!” Sensing the scornful stares from the Thousand Masks tribesmen, Yan Jiu forced a smile and tried to suppress the excitement in his eyes. He looked at Shao Xuan and asked, “You came alone?”

“The others are still on the way. For now, only two of us are here,” Shao Xuan said.

“Huh? Where’s the other person?”

Yan Jiu had just finished his sentence when he heard a terrifying cry from the woods. Not long after, they heard something being forcefully dragged across the ground.

A cloaked figure was holding a man at the neck and dragging him across the ground. Regardless of how hard the person struggled and clawed with his fingers, this cloaked figure did not at all loosen his grip.

Fresh blood dripped from this person’s free hand. Apparently there was no obvious injury on this person and the blood was clearly not his own.

Of course, these were insignificant injuries. Everyone’s eyes widened as they fixed their eyes on the sword that had pierced right through this cloaked figure. Not a single drop of blood dripped from this injury.

Under the strong winds, the linen cloak clung tightly onto the figure. It couldn’t be mistaken. That the sword had indeed pierced right through him.

However, that person was not bleeding. He could even walk over like it didn’t at all affect him.

“They got you?” Shao Xuan asked.

“It’s no big deal,” said an emotionless voice.

Yan Jiu and the others dropped their jaws. How could this be no big deal? He was pierced all the way through!

Suddenly, the cloaked figure grasped the hilt of the sword with his bloody hand and pulled it out of his body. After he pulled it out, he studied it and continued to drag the person along.

Yan Jiu was speechless.

The Thousand Masks crowd were all speechless.

Even the person who was struggling to break free gave up.

Dead silence pervaded and the atmosphere suddenly became cold as ice, making everyone feel uneasy. Everyone who saw this shivered.

Now, the trembles had spread to both of Dian Fa’s eyes and he couldn’t control it.

What…who…is this monster?
