Chapter 78: Defeat and stabbing the bodies

Chapter 78: Defeat and stabbing the bodies

The dead were already gone, the injured wailed in the snow nests, and those uninjured continued charging forward.

The Flying Snake tribe members were accustomed to the bloody deeds of killing and arson in the harsh winter. The deaths of their comrades and the spreading scent of fresh blood did startle them, but alongside the shock, a bloodthirsty intent surged within them.

They howled, running fiercely toward the Green Sparrow tribe, no longer caring if they might stumble. Along the way, they would viciously hurl the stones in their hands towards the Flying Snake tribe.

However, in the current situation, they rarely caused harm to the Green Sparrow tribe. The Green Sparrow tribe had the advantage of higher ground, using spears that could be thrown farther than stones. Moreover, a massive two-meter-high earthen wall was in front, blocking the stones. Even if a few powerful individuals from the Flying Snake tribe ran in front with remarkable strength, they only managed to hit the wall with the stones in their hands.

After the first round of spears fell, a second round followed closely, then a third, and a fourth.

Under these rounds of spear attacks, the second senior brother had made three moves in total. Each time, a member of the Flying Snake tribe was pierced through the chest and fell in the snowy field, emitting hot, steaming blood, staining the pristine white snow.

Under the successive strikes of the Green Sparrow tribe's spears, the chaotic Flying Snake tribe became even more disordered. The number of casualties skyrocketed, with more than ten dead and even more injured.

After the first round of spears fell, the initially bloodthirsty Flying Snake tribe was indeed stirred up by the fresh blood. However, as the spears continued to rain down, harvesting the lives of their comrades, their boiling blood quickly cooled and transformed into deep-seated fear.

Once a tribe that had conquered many others, they were genuinely frightened.

The continuously falling spears, the tribe members dropping dead with their bodies pierced, or the wailing screams after being injuredall of this shook their souls, intensifying the fear within them.

Finally, the fear in their hearts overwhelmed the dread of strict regulations. Those who had nearly exhausted their supply of stones, driven by an unknown force, turned and fled one after another, forgetting about the rest.

However, leaving their backs to the Green Sparrow tribe was a more dangerous move.

Facing the enemy head-on, they could still dodge the falling spears or retaliate by throwing stones.

Several older underage individuals were not idle either. Following Han Cheng's command, they assisted a woman who had been hit by a stone thrown by the Flying Snake tribe and fallen from the low wall into the cave.

In the recent battle, the Green Sparrow tribe did not emerge unscathed. Three people were hit by stones thrown by the Flying Snake tribe. The most severely injured was this woman.

Not only did blood flow from above her left shoulder where the stone hit, but when she fell from the wall, she also landed on a stone, injuring her spine.

Fortunately, the damage was mitigated due to the thick snow on the ground. Otherwise, her situation could have been much worse.

Two other individuals were also injuredone with a broken head and another hit in the chest by a stone. Due to the protection of their clothes, the latter only suffered discoloration and swelling on the chest, without any bleeding or skin damage.

Third Senior Brother, leading the group, held spears and ruthlessly stabbed each fallen member of the Flying Snake tribe in the chest.

Han Cheng proposed this measure earlier to prevent enemies from feigning death, thus escaping death or launching surprise attacks.

Surprisingly, people were pretending to be dead in the snow nests.

One woman had her leg pierced by a spear falling from the sky. Realizing that her leg was likely useless, she promptly lay down in the snow, pretending to be dead. She intended to deceive this terrifying tribe, waiting for them to leave so she could crawl away slowly.

However, to her horror, these people did not immediately leave after defeating them. Instead, they stabbed each fallen body with a spear.

The sound of spears penetrating flesh terrified her, and she no longer dared to continue playing dead because, this time, it could be real.

She crawled out of the snow nest, continuously bowing to the Green Sparrow tribe members not far away who were stabbing the bodies. She spoke fearfully and urgently, uttering words they couldn't understand.

The third Senior Brother and the other Green Sparrow tribe members were surprised to see a person suddenly appear there. They were taken aback, and then they surrounded the woman with spears.

Third Senior Brother, holding a spear, approached with a cold and indifferent expression.
