296 The Older birdman's plan

The reason he cared about Raweth's return was he doesn't want to see his little brother's suffering and amidst his suffering, he would occasionally say, 'Brother, where are you?'

Whenever he heard that pained voice, the masked birdman was unable to control his emotions; however, there was no cure for the poison in his body.

And he didn't care about the soundproof barrier that covered Krico's house as he could guess that Krico was once again starting his planning about something.

...

Inside Krico's house,

'Where are you Raweth? Please come back soon, I have some great plans for you,' Krico still believed that Raweth would come back to the tribe as he was the chosen one. 

And when he comes back, he could use his technique to transfer Raweth's talent, bloodline and cultivation into his own body.

"By the way, why the hell he wants to talk to me at a time like this," All of a sudden, Krico became irritated as he looked into a specific direction and took out a round plate from his space ring.

'Damn old slave, if I don't get anything useful from you this time, I will not make any more deals with you,' As he muttered, Krico lightly tapped the plate in his hands.

As soon as he did that, the entire tribe shook for a while before stopping, making all the tribesmen puzzled for a moment before going back to their work.

"What was that?"

"I think it's the fourth or fifth time, in this month,"

"Whatever, as long as my house stays strong, I don't mind it,"

"Same here. Now let's go to our works,"

All the tribe members were very simple and talked as though they were used to those earthquakes which would only appear for a second before disappearing.

"Hehe, you seem like you are in a bad mood, what happened?" 

After the earthquake, the older birdman from the ancient ruins appeared behind Krico as he asked with an eerie laugh on his old wrinkled face.

"What do you want this time?" Krico was not happy to see the older birdman but he still asked him.

"I sensed Raweth, hehe" The older birdman smilingly said as he walked towards Krico with his hands behind his back.

"Really? Where did you sense him?" Krico's previous anger disappeared into thin air as he asked the older birdman with an excited tone.

"Looks like you change your mood quite quickly than I thought, hehe," The older birdman said with his usual eerie smile.

"Stop joking with me and say where do you sense him?" Krico became angry as he asked him once again.

"He is in the Lightning Dargon Hawk's tribe and I only sensed him for a moment before I lost him. If my guess is correct, then the Hawk tribe is doing something with Raweth, so if you want to complete your plans, you need to hurry up and save him," the older birdman urged Krico to save Raweth from the hawk tribe.

'Damn you Krico, can't you just attack the hawk tribe?' the older birdman became angry in his heart but he suppressed it as he calmly said, "Okay then, I am going now. If he dies all your plans to become your fire crow tribe's chosen one will be lost."

The older man didn't bother to ask Krico to attack the Hawk tribe; instead, he mentioned Krico's plans and acted as if he was leaving the tribe leader's house.

"Stop. What should I do now?" When he heard that his plans would be spoiled, Krico didn't hesitate to ask for advice from the older birdman.

'Hehe, this is what I want, my foolish little crow,' the older birdman thought inside his heart; however, he showed a small smile on his face as he said to Krico, "Attack the Hawk tribe and I will save your tribe from the spirit beasts which surrounded your fire chrome tribe."

The older birdman revealed a cunning smile as he looked at the pondering Krico.

"I don't need you to save my tribe; however, promise me that you will help me secure Raweth from the Hawk tribe whereas I will distract the Hawk tribe's leader, Qwerek," Krico thought for a moment and planned something and asked the older birdman to just help him save Raweth from the Hawk tribe.

Krico knew that the older birdman could not harm or kill any of the three tribe members, so he just asked him the job of rescuing whereas he would do some action.

"Okay, then what about your tribe?" The older birdman asked a question which he already knew the answer to.

"Tribe? It will be protected by others. Even if I asked them to come with me, no one would leave the tribe. So, it's better for me to go solo and challenge Qwerek for a one-on-one fight with him," Krico scoffed at his tribe's elders and continued, "While I was at it, you do your job and rescue Raweth. I want him to be in perfect health. Do you understand?"

Krico already decided to challenge Qwerek a long time ago =, so he immediately applied that chance for his own use.

"By the way, why are you so eager to say about Raweth's presence in the five elemental world," Krico puzzled at the older birdman's eagerness and noticed something was wrong as he wanted to ask for some time to plan the Raweth's rescue operation.

"I want a powerful tribe leader from one of the three tribes and among the three tribe leaders, you are the only one who has sufficient strength and wits. Once you become a powerful tribe leader, I have a request to ask from you. So, I hope you will help me at that time," The older birdman said with a sad tone as he ended his reason for his eagerness.

As soon as Krico heard those words, he was over cloud nine and smiled inside his heart and felt proud of his strength as he nodded his head at the older birdman.

However, inside his heart, Krico thought, 'Damn you old slave, once I have sufficient skill, I will make you my personal slave. Then I will see how you will manage to keep fires between tribes.'

Every tribe leader knows some cruel facts about the older birdman who managed to successfully create frictions between the three tribes and made each tribe member kill another tribe member. So, he wanted to make the older birdman suffer in the future for his past deeds which made him lose some of his loyal followers.

'I know what you are thinking, little fire crow leader. But, you still don't know about me completely. Do you really think you are the powerful tribe leader? Even if you fight the Netherworld Ice Sparrow tribe's tribe leader, you won't win against her much less you wanted to fight the Lighting Dragon Hawk tribe's tribe leader, Qwerek, hehe' the older birdman who lived for many centuries knew the exact thoughts in Krico's mind but he shook his head at Krico's ignorance.
