Chapter 173 External Conflict 13
"Didn't you say they were hiding here? Let's go down and clean them up quickly." One of the slightly burly animal trainers said to the silent person beside him.
The man raised his head, his eyes were cloudy and his face was so pale that it seemed as if he was going to die in the next second.
It's Xiaohei.
He pushed two of the people he brought with him down the mountain, and two of them were eaten by the beasts. Now he is the only one left.
Since yesterday afternoon, they had been chasing Qing Jiu and his companions with their herd of beasts until they hid in the cave where the apes had lived before, and even cut the rope they were using to get down.
The trainer ordered the beasts to attack back and forth several times, but to no avail, and he suffered quite a few casualties on his side.
After gathering with the beasts led by several other animal trainers, they had originally planned to attack the tribe directly, but Xiao Hei stood up and said that one of these people was the leader of the Taoli tribe. If they killed him, the rest of the people would be in chaos without their backbone, which would save a lot of effort.
But that night, those men did not come out, and the falcon they sent to check also disappeared.
A long straw rope was thrown in front of Xiao Hei.
"This is our last rope. If we can't kill them this time, you don't have to come up."
Xiao Hei stared at the rough rope. Not to mention letting him get down, he could break it with just a few pulls. Isn't this clearly asking for his death?
He responded muffledly and squatted in front of the rope, seemingly testing the toughness of the rope, but his eyes were full of calculations.
He was going to die, and he realized this not just now, but he did not regret it. On the contrary, he felt a bit of resentment in his heart. He hated Qing Jiu who drove him away, and he hated these animal trainers.
He can't kill Qingjiu.
But even if he dies, he wants to take someone with him.
After thinking for a while at the edge of the cliff, he saw a platform. He had to try to see if he could land on it and maybe save his life.
He didn't know what it meant to keep the green mountains alive so that there would be no shortage of firewood, but he knew that if he died, everything would be gone. As long as he was alive, no matter how he lived, maybe everything would turn around.
"Help me tie this one to the tree." Xiao Hei said to the burly animal trainer while pretending to tie a knot on himself with the rope.
The man came over cursing, "You're so slow. Why are there so many problems with the task I asked you to do?" He bent down to pick up the other end of the rope.
At this moment, Xiao Hei quickly put the rope in his hand around the trainer's neck, pulled the man over the cliff, and the rope was not strong, so it broke with just a little force. However, the trainer still fell off the cliff due to inertia.
Xiao Hei jumped onto the platform he had been eyeing for a long time. One of his knees and calf must have been broken, and it was difficult for him to stand up. But he couldn't relax at this moment. The trainer had also fallen here and was still groaning in pain. He had to get him off the cliff before he could react.
After he had pushed and kicked the man, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Qing Jiu and Dayan standing in front of him. They were holding blood-stained long swords in their hands, and their clothes were tattered and turned black after being stained with blood.
Although they were in such a miserable state, Xiao Hei felt somewhat happy.
Leaning against the mountain wall, he sneered, "I am satisfied to see you in such a miserable state before I die."
Knowing that this man had no remorse and it was too late for him to repent now, Dayan didn't hesitate and kicked the man down the mountain.
"I don't know what's going on in the tribe?" Xishi came out of the cave and said while looking at the valley in the distance.
"I hope Guo Qi can discover their conspiracy, so that everyone doesn't come out to look for us." Dayan sighed. Ahua and Xiaobai were still at home, and he was very worried.
The blood on Qing Jiu's face had dried a little. He thought that if he went back like this, the man might hate him very much, so his expression softened a little, "Let's hold back these animal trainers and the animals first."
As for those ambushing around the tribe, they can only rely on Guo Qi and Sa Shi to discover them themselves.
