Chapter 177 - eugenol
"No, no, no. Of course I want to go back. I just didn't expect to be here so soon. I wasn't even prepared." It was obvious that he was abnormally excited at this moment.
Seeing this, Ling Xiao could more or less understand how he was feeling. After all, he had been driven out of his hometown by the enemy, and thus had fallen to such a state in order to survive. However, there was nothing he could do about it, because he did not have the power to resist, so he could only endure.
At this time, Ling Xiao suddenly thought of the other clan members who had finished fighting Yan Ao Gu. Maybe they did not have as good luck as he did, or maybe they did not encounter any kind people who were willing to help them, and just died like that.
Ling Xiao did not bother Yan Ao so much that he could release his emotions, and only said indifferently: "If you're done, come over, I'll be waiting for you on the horse."
Then, Ling Xiao turned and walked back to the house, telling Ah Zi that everything was over.
Although Ah Zi was very obedient and did not stand out, in truth, how could she endure it? She leaned on the window curiously and looked outside, clearly seeing everything that had happened.
"Big Brother Ling Xiao, that move of yours just now was so cool, you knocked them all down in one go!" Seeing Ling Xiao walk into the house, Ah Zi immediately ran over to Ling Xiao's side and said with a face full of worship.
After Ling Xiao heard this, he patted Ah Zi's head and said softly, "Do you want to learn? I can teach you."
Hearing this, Ah Zi immediately stuck out her tongue, and said with a little mischievousness: "No no no, it must be very troublesome, I just want to follow Big Brother Ling Xiao, I'm not afraid of anything, and no one will bully me, so you don't need to learn."
Hugging Ah Zi in her embrace, Ling Xiao laughed heartily: "Alright, in the future, by my side, I'll definitely let you live a comfortable life!"
After bringing Ah Zi out of the house, Yan Aobo also came over. Everyone checked their food and water bottles to make sure that they had enough resources before they set off for the road.
"Yan Ao Gu, with your current speed, how long will it take for us to reach your Tribes?" Ling Xiao asked.
"Three and a half days, four at most." Duyan Ah Gu said with a firm tone.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao nodded his head, and said: "En, that's still alright, it's not very far, then walk slowly, there's no need to rush."
Upon hearing that, Yan Ao Gu asked in confusion: "Sect Master Ling, you said before that if we don't understand the poison in their bodies, they will die in the end, so they will definitely rush back as fast as they can. If we delay them on the way, won't we be coming soon?"
However, Ling Xiao said with a bland smile, "I understand your thoughts. Even though they would rush back in a hurry because they want to live, the poisonous energy in their bodies would flare up every so often, causing them to have no choice but to delay on the road. Thus, in terms of time, we can definitely catch up."
Hearing that, Yan Ao Gu nodded his head: "So that's how it is, Sect Master Ling has already considered it."
Just like this, everyone rode on horses they snatched from the enemies, but they were travelling slowly, on the road, they were mostly playing and enjoying the scenery. Ah Zi had a good time along the road, and Yan Ao Gu was in a good mood, because they were about to reach his hometown.
As he neared the Tribes, a happy smile surfaced on his face, one that was unable to be stopped. It was enough to show just how strong his desire to return home was.
"Why did they expel you?" Ling Xiao suddenly thought of something and asked.
Hearing that, Yan Ao Gu stopped smiling, and replied seriously: "Although our Tribes is located in a very barren place, but there is a place not far away from it with many wild animals, it is a very good natural hunting ground, before the enemies came, most of our food source was from the eugenol."
"So it's like that, those people have their eyes on your eugenol, that's why they want to expel you." Ling Xiao said.
"That's right, this group of people are extremely tyrannical. They clearly came first because we did, but they want to drive us out and monopolize everything!" Even if we were to hunt together with them, we would not say anything, but they are truly too much, not only do they want to monopolize the eugenol, they even want to exterminate our entire clan! As Yan Ao Gu spoke, he clenched both of his fists tightly. When he got to the point where he was excited, tears had already welled up in his eyes.
Looking at this scene, Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "This is what happens when you don't have any martial arts defenses. This world is focused on the law of the jungle, although it is wrong for the enemy to kill all of you, it is not a problem to rob the eugenol."
Maybe Ling Xiao's words had struck Yan Ao's heart, he sighed heavily, then shook his head helplessly, as though he was sighing at his own incompetence.
At this moment, they had already arrived at a desert, and it wasn't too far from Chidan.
"Are you people of Chidan?" Ling Xiao thought of the Tribes he met earlier and inquired.
Upon hearing that, Wuyan Aobo was stunned for a moment, then nodded his head and said hesitantly: "I guess so. We are at the border, but in truth, I do not know where our Tribes is located."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao understood why their Tribes was so weak. Tribes who didn't even have a place of his own naturally didn't have a strong power to protect him, just like the little Tribes he met in Qi Dan earlier.
When passing through the eugenol, Ling Xiao saw that there were deer and rabbits in the forest, and there were quite a lot of resources. It was no wonder why those people would use such ruthless methods to kill everyone to steal this piece of eugenol.
After passing through the eugenol, Yan Ao Gu raised his hand and pointed towards a black spot on the plains. With an excited expression, he said: "It's there, my hometown!"
Ling Xiao looked in the direction he was pointing at, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said: "The locations of the buildings are too terrible, and the surrounding areas are all vast and empty plains. Aren't you guys just giving them a beating?"
After hearing these words, Flawless Yan Ao was stunned. He asked, puzzled, "Then where should we build it?"
"Naturally, we should find a place where we can rely on, either by the mountain or by the water. If the resources here are scarce and there is nothing we can do, we should at least find a cliff and hide a little, right?" Ling Xiao said helplessly.
"This... It didn't seem to think that much when it was established. " Upon hearing this, Wuyan Aobo scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Humph, then no wonder he would be bullied." Seeing that, Ling Xiao snorted.
