Kill four to save one clan, abandon one clan to save four...
Quanfeng closed his eyes helplessly, his face contorted in pain.
He knew he had no choice; he couldn't save those four children…
This scene left Leopard Autumn, who was not far away, completely dumbfounded.
this…
This ability to manipulate vines is just like their priests'!
Chapter 56
We need to leave as soon as possible.
Mu Qi manipulated the withered vines, tightening them even more.
Looking at the Wushan tribe, which he had firmly controlled, he felt an indescribable sense of pleasure.
That's it, that feeling of complete control.
The pinnacle of power that Mu Qi had been pursuing for so long.
Painful howls echoed in Quanfeng's ears, each one urging him to make a decision quickly.
His eyes were bloodshot, gleaming with a terrifying light, as he stared intently at Mu Qi.
Mu Qi watched Quan Feng's expression with great interest, her smile widening.
This weak and useless chieftain, besides staring at him like a maddened dog, would never do anything else, nor dare to do anything else.
Quanfeng's gaze did not frighten Muqi in the slightest; on the contrary, it made him even more enjoy the supreme power that belonged to him at this moment.
He was happy to push them a little further, wanting to see more interesting expressions. "If you don't choose now, they'll all die."
Inufu's pupils contracted, hatred replaced by pain.
He bit his lips until they bled, and each word seemed to be uttered in tears: "I choose."
Mu Qi's eyes gleamed with excitement. He released the withered vines from Quan Feng's body. "Hurry up. If you're any slower, I can't guarantee I won't strike first."
Quanfeng did not answer; he walked step by step toward the fire, his choice already clear.
Every piece of wood in the fire was burning fiercely. Quanfeng pulled out the longest piece, a small flame that had broken off from the fire, and it shook violently in the air.
It looks like it might be blown out by the wind at any moment.
Seeing this scene, Bao Qiu unconsciously lowered his breathing.
He could sense the orc's reluctance and helplessness.
The sight of the four bound children made Bao Qiu's heart clench.
In the past, he wouldn't have been emotionally affected by such a scene.
However, during his time living in the Mu tribe, he watched the children of the Mu tribe grow up with smiles every day.
When shoveling snow, we would circle around him, asking him to shovel more snow so they could build little snowmen to play with.
Sometimes they would bring him some jam that they had treasured from their earthen house, mix it with water, and give it to him as a way of thanking him for his help.
The children had chubby, round faces, and were fairer and more delicate than children from any other tribe. Because the priests valued cleanliness, the people of the Wood Tribe also kept themselves very clean.
The children before him were emaciated and dark-skinned. Having seen so many children from the Mu tribe, Leopard Autumn was somewhat shocked to see children from other tribes.
Although the children of the Feather Tribe looked similar to those of the children of the Black Mountain Tribe, they had smiles on their faces.
There were no smiles on the faces of the children from the Wushan tribe.
Leopard Qiu instinctively assumed an attack stance, ready to transform at any moment.
After witnessing this scene, he knew clearly that the priests of the Wushan tribe would not trade Wushi with them.
Chief Quanfeng's attitude was also very clear: for the survival of his tribe, he would definitely trade for the black stones.
Since that's the case...
A nimble leopard darted out of the bushes like an arrow, and Quanfeng felt a strong gust of wind rush towards him, extinguishing the fire in his hand.
The powerful aura of the orcs made Quan Feng breathless, and the tall and mighty beast form of the level seven orc warrior seemed about to crush the altar.
Leopard Qiu raised its huge paws and easily pushed over the four wooden stakes.
The children were so terrified by the powerful orcish aura that they forgot their fear and held their breath, afraid to breathe.
Leopard Autumn struggled to bite the four wooden stakes with its teeth, carefully avoiding the child's body.
Mu Qi was also startled by this sudden turn of events, but he quickly recovered.
They removed the withered vines binding the necks of the Wushan tribesmen and launched an attack on Bao Qiu.
Inu-feng quickly realized that this orc was the child who had saved his tribe.
Its animal form is a leopard.
He thought of the powerful orc named Leopard Autumn who had come to the Wushan tribe before and said he wanted to trade with them.
Could it be him?
Inufu didn't waste time confirming; he trusted his intuition.
Mu Qi's withered vines quickly wrapped around them. Quan Feng didn't dare to be too obvious, after all, his clansmen were here, and they couldn't escape.
Taking advantage of Leopard Autumn's large size, Inufeng seized the opportunity and dodged just as Leopard Autumn raised its sharp claws to attack Nanfeng.
To outsiders, it looked as if Leopard Autumn had slapped Dog Wind away.
Leopard Autumn was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Dog Wind pounce on that wicked priest and pin him to the ground, unable to move, Leopard Autumn understood.
This person did it on purpose.
Leopard Autumn had no intention of getting entangled with the priest of the Wushan tribe. This person's abilities were the same as their priest's, and he was sure to be a tough opponent. If they really fought, he might not be able to win.
Therefore, Leopard Autumn was prepared to escape from the very beginning, and it was this gap that gave Leopard Autumn the best opportunity to escape.
The leopard's muscles were taut, unleashing terrifying explosive power. In the blink of an eye, it was far away and difficult to catch.
Mu Qi's forehead throbbed, and his eyes blazed with anger. "Aren't you getting up yet?"
The dog-like wind pressing down on him remained motionless. Mu Qi, filled with rage, wanted to vent it as soon as possible, so he manipulated the withered vines to wrap the dog up.
When Quanfeng was hoisted up, Muqi realized that he was injured, and the injury was quite serious.
To avoid arousing Mu Qi's suspicion, Quan Feng actually took a solid hit.
A large gash was ripped open across his entire back, the skin torn and bleeding profusely. Inufusa had already lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss.
Looking at the deadly injury, Mu Qi dismissed her previous thought that Quan Feng had done it on purpose.
This man is pitifully timid; he wouldn't dare to truly resist anything, so how could he possibly risk his life?
Withdrawing the withered vines, Inu-kaze was slammed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust around him.
Mu Qi looked up at the sun; it was time for cultivation.
He had no interest in why the leopard had kidnapped the four children. Mu Qi left without even glancing at the unconscious Quan Feng on the ground, let alone treating him.
After Mu Qi left, the people of the Wushan tribe quickly carried Quan Feng to the cave.
"Quickly cover it with soil! The chieftain can't bleed anymore!" an elder of the tribe shouted, then quickly added, "It has to be dry soil, not wet soil!"
The dry, broken soil contained sand and gravel. The old man picked out some obvious small stones, and without having time to sort them out, he poured the dry soil directly onto the bloody wound.
After doing all this, he put his hands together and pressed them against his forehead, pleading for help from their omnipotent beast god.
Hopefully, the Beast God can awaken the clan leader.
Yang Wu felt that there was a reason why the leopard-shaped orc warrior suddenly appeared and took away their tribe's children. Moreover, he was behind and to the side of the leopard-shaped orc warrior, and he saw Quan Feng's movements more clearly than anyone else.
The person didn't intentionally injure Quanfeng; Quanfeng offered himself up. Yangwu, filled with doubt, went alone to the bushes. After a careful search, he discovered the animal hide that the leopard-shaped orc warrior had shed after transforming. The hide had a very peculiar shape; anyone who had seen it once would never forget it.
Leopard Autumn.
The name came to mind; he had been standing next to Quanfeng when the man came to the tribe to discuss the trade.
He then asked the other person why the animal skin they were wearing looked like that, and Bao Qiu said that they called such animal skin clothing.
It was a very novel name; he had never heard it before.
Leopard Autumn then pulled out a small piece of animal hide, about the size of a palm, from the left side of the animal hide clothing and let Dog Wind touch it. No one knew how happy Dog Wind was when he touched that small piece of hide.
Quanfeng wanted to exchange it for Wushi. In fact, the people in the tribe didn't really know what Wushi could be used for; the priest just treated it like a treasure.
When their priests learned that Dogwind wanted to trade for the black stone, they not only refused but also drove the people away.
Yang Wu thought that Quan Feng would still choose to obey orders after being unhappy, but he was wrong.
Inu-feng secretly contacted Leopard Autumn, urging him to reconsider. Autumn asked Inu-feng what was so special about Black Stone, but Inu-feng couldn't answer.
They said this black stone must be of great use, otherwise their priest, who looked down on everything, wouldn't be guarding it so closely.
Yangwu was also thinking that it would be great if the other party agreed, as they had an entire mountain of black stones. The tribe's name was also derived from this mountain—the Black Mountain Tribe, which has been passed down from generation to generation to this day.
After Leopard Autumn left, Sheep Crow asked Dog Wind why he was so determined to make the deal this time.
He remembered that Quanfeng said: "The animal hides are so soft and warm that they are enough for the tribe to get through the winter."
The surroundings were quiet and deserted. Yangwu silently picked up the clothes on the ground and dodged people all the way back to his cave.
He dug a hole behind the cave and buried the clothes in it. When filling the hole with soil, Yang Wu reluctantly touched the soft fur, then withdrew his hand, gritted his teeth, and covered the clothes with soil.
This must not be seen by the priest. The priest doesn't know the orc's name, so he didn't recognize the beast's form. But if he sees this strange animal hide, he'll definitely know who did it.
He would do everything in his power to protect Leopard Autumn from being discovered by their priests.
Protecting Leopard Autumn means protecting those four poor children from the Wushan tribe.
…
After rescuing the children, Leopard Autumn brought them to the Feather Tribe. The four children were already terrified and didn't say a word.
Wolf Rain found a new animal skin coat for Leopard Autumn to wear, and gestured towards the trembling children with his lip, "What are you going to do with these four children?"
After getting dressed, Bao Qiu was also a little worried.
