Chapter 145 The conspiracy of water flow
Li Ziru couldn't help but tremble. The anger and strong sense of humiliation made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
Colum knelt on the ground, his face full of determination and resoluteness. "Young Master, we, the Beastmaster Tribe, cannot be insulted by the Xishan Tribe! Please return to your tribe and lead the people to fight against the Xishan Tribe!"
"Even if I die, I will never accept Tong Ying's conditions!!"
After Columbine finished speaking, the beastmaster behind him also knelt down and said, "We beg the young clan leader to return to the clan and prepare for a battle!"
Li Ziru was silent, and then he saw Columbine and the others stand up, and then disappear into the darkness.
"Colum..." I will definitely bring people back to rescue you!
You must hold on!
Li Ziru's eyes were bloodshot. Even though he was unwilling, he had no choice.
"let's go!"
He reached out to pull Yazhi's hand, but the girl immediately pulled her hand back the moment his hand touched it.
"Young Master, I can walk by myself. If you pull me, I won't be able to run fast."
Li Ziru's hands were empty, and a strange emotion arose in his heart, but he didn't have time to care about it at this time. He just said: "Then be careful!"
Tong Ying shouted a few times, but still got no response.
His face turned ugly. He didn't expect that Li Ziru, at such a young age, could be so calm!
If we give him more time to grow, it will be even more difficult to attack the Beast Tamer Clan!
"Everyone, speed up! We must defeat the Beastmaster Tribe today!"
"Yes!"
As soon as the voice fell, dark shadows flashed one after another in the place where the firelight illuminated.
A scaly wolf beast suddenly appeared and jumped onto several Xishan people who were holding round-thorn wheels. It avoided the sharp thorns and bit one of them in the face.
Screams of pain were heard, the formation was disrupted, and the round thorn wheels used to defend the beasts fell to the ground.
Suddenly, several more wild beasts jumped out and used the same method to break away the Xishan tribe's round-thorn wheels, and more people were bitten.
Tong Ying reined in his horse, his face gloomy.
Those trained beasts that seemed swift in the eyes of ordinary people were obviously much slower in his eyes. Coupled with his extraordinary hearing, he could basically lock the location of those trained beasts in advance.
The silver spear was thrown, and a wild wolf was nailed to the tree behind.
"Ouch, ouch..."
After two whimpers, the wolf died.
After a tamed beast was killed, the morale of the Xishan tribe soared, and they all raised their weapons to fight against the dangerous tamed beasts in the darkness.
Li Ziru was running at this time, and from behind him, the screams of people and the painful howls of trained animals could be heard from time to time.
He kept running, running so fast that he didn't even notice that Yazhi was far behind him. He listened to those voices, his heart bleeding.
He knew that Colum and the rest of the tribesmen were risking their lives to buy time for them, and he must not be slow any longer!
He secretly swore, "Tong Ying, I will make you pay the price!!"
With the help of Colum and others, Li Ziru finally escaped from the Xishan territory.
“Zhe——”
The sound of a bone whistle rang out and drifted away into the distance.
That was a secret order calling on all the beastmasters and warriors in the tribe. Only the tribe leader and the deputy tribe leader knew the rhythm and method.
The Beast Tamers, who had been on high alert for a long time, immediately rushed out of the forest upon hearing the sound and charged towards the territory of the Xishan Clan!
The sound of charging and fighting echoed throughout the valley outside the mountain.
The unusual behavior of the Xishan and Beastmaster tribes had long been discovered by the Dongshan and Lishui tribes. They had each sent a number of people to investigate. Only after witnessing a formal clash between the two tribes did they pass the news back.
In the meeting hall of the Dongshan tribe, a middle-aged man with a stern face sat on the upper seat; below him to the right sat a young man wearing a white robe, with an elegant and handsome face.
He sat aside drinking tea, and the casualness and relaxation on his face made the man in the main seat frown.
"Does the Lishui tribe also intend to get involved?"
Wei Donglai, the patriarch of the Dongshan tribe, spoke with doubts in his heart, but more of contempt.
Shui Ziliu always looked like he didn't care about anything, but he had been coveting the redwood forest of the Beast Tamers for a long time, and he had instigated friction between Xishan and the Beast Tamers countless times.
"They're not from the Lishui tribe." He gently twisted the teacup with a look of enjoyment on his face. After taking a sip of tea, he continued, "They're from the Dongshan tribe, and the Lishui tribe."
Wei Donglai raised his eyebrows, indicating that he didn't understand what he meant.
Shui Ziliu may not be very old, but his scheming and cunning are beyond compare. Seeing him like this, he just smiled faintly and said, "Since I have come to the Dongshan Clan, it is naturally to seek cooperation with Clan Leader Wei."
"Isn't Chief Wei also very fond of the Xishan tribe's medicinal fields?"
Wei Donglai's expression changed, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This water flows by itself, and it even knows this!
"Then how does the Water Tribe Leader want to cooperate?" Wei Donglai asked.
"Of course, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits!"
"After this is done, Beast Taming Mountain will belong to me, and West Mountain Peak will belong to you. How about that?"
He put down the teacup, a gentle and polite smile on his face, and his handsome face made people feel like spring breeze at first sight.
But after hearing what he said, the only feeling I got was coldness. As for warmth, I couldn't feel any at all.
Although Wei Donglai really wanted the Xishan medicinal fields, they belonged to the Xishan tribe after all!
The West Mountain Tribe was the most populous and powerful tribe in the Shanwai Valley! Furthermore, Tong Ying was no ordinary character. If they truly angered him, and the West Mountain Tribe launched a desperate counterattack, the East Mountain Tribe wouldn't necessarily stand to gain anything!
Wei Donglai was still worried. "Are you so sure you can take down those two tribes?"
"Of course!" He looked at him with a smile, a strong confidence emanating from him.
"This time, both the Xishan and Beastmaster tribes will suffer heavy losses. By then, we won't have to expend any effort to subjugate both tribes. Is there anything to doubt?"
"Patriarch Wei, what are you worried about?"
Wei Donglai was silent, his face looking very solemn.
The four major forces in Shanwai Valley have existed for hundreds of years. There is really no benefit in breaking this balance.
In fact, if there were no one interfering, the four tribes could actually live in peace by exchanging what they have and what they need in the valley outside the mountain.
His eyes fell on Shui Ziliu, and a hint of contempt flashed through his heart.
He also had some idea of how ruthless this seemingly weak and delicate young man actually was.
If the Xishan Clan and the Beast Taming Clan were really gone, would the Dongshan Clan also be completely devoured by this kid in the future?
He is really worried!
"Then, what about the two surviving tribesmen?" Wei Donglai asked again.
Shui Ziliu stood up, an incredulous smile on his face, "Patriarch Wei, you are not kidding me, are you?"
Wei Donglai's expression changed slightly, and he still sat in the main seat as still as a mountain. However, his heart was unconsciously shaken by the flow of water.
"The winner is king and the loser is a bandit. The loser will naturally become a slave! I heard that your Dongshan tribe is also in urgent need of labor. Why don't you want to find some free labor?"
Wei Donglai remained silent, feeling wary and fearful of Shui Ziliu. He truly knew the Dongshan Clan like the back of his hand!
However, what he said did have a certain appeal.
"Or, if you don't like those people, you can kill them. I have no objection."
Even when talking about killing people, his face remained calm, as if what he said he killed was not a person, but a pheasant, a wild rabbit...
Wei Donglai lowered his eyes, then stood up. He was becoming less and less confident about cooperating with Shui Ziliu.
Just as I was about to refuse, the water began to flow.
"Is Patriarch Wei worried that I might stab you in the back?"
Perhaps it was because she could see the fear in his heart, but the smile on Shui Ziliu's face became more sincere.
Wei Donglai didn't say anything, but there was no sign of relief in the eyes that were staring at him.
"Don't worry! This mountain valley is so vast, it's impossible for our Lishui tribe to occupy it all. If Li Chuzheng hadn't been so stubborn and refused to share the redwood forest with our Lishui tribe, I wouldn't have planned this drama today."
"You, what did you say?!"
Wei Donglai heard a message from his words that shocked him greatly.
The current conflict between the Beastmasters and the Xishan Clan was actually a conspiracy orchestrated by him!
