There were man-eating flowers everywhere inside the Vile Canyon. If the green-skinned aboriginals didn’t apply the secret medication their elders gave them on their bodies, they would be eaten by the man-eating flowers.
Because the Vile Canyon was the safest region for the greenhaze tribe, they built a camp here.
The main thing was they wanted to use the area here to raise livestock and imprison the wild beasts they captured.
Naturally, it was used as a prison now and there were many humans locked up.
They would become bargaining chips. If their luck was good, they would be redeemed by the Saint Gate. If their luck was bad, they would become fertilizer.
Sun Mo’s group finally saw the campsite, but they were stopped by the aboriginal soldiers at the entrance.
“You guys, wait a while for me.”
Lian Fangcao stepped forward.
“I can see that those guards show a very good attitude to the green-skinned female. Maybe, her status in the tribe is very high.”
Li Ruolan analyzed.
Lian Fangcao wanted to bring the invaders into the camp, and this was something the guards couldn’t decide. Hence, they went to report this to their boss. Not long later, a muscular aboriginal that was 2 meters tall came out.
“It is really so green!”
If it wasn’t that the situation was inappropriate, Li Ruolan would burst out laughing. This green-skinned male was even wearing a green hat.
She didn’t know that green hats that were made of weaved vines represented good luck and god’s blessing in the greenhaze tribe. Only adults were qualified to wear something like this.
After the two spoke, they began to quarrel.
The muscular aboriginal shot a glare over and wanted nothing more than to devour Sun Mo and the others.
“I think the situation is bad.”
Bai Xiqing’s expression turned heavy.
As expected, she was correct.
After quarreling for 15 more minutes, Lian Fangcao returned angrily. After that, her expression turned to one of guilt.
“Sorry friend. Mu Qiansen says that you guys are spies. He doesn’t permit you all to enter.”
“What about my students? Were they captured by them?”
Sun Mo asked anxiously.
“Mn, Mu Qianlin captured them.”
Lian Fangcao didn’t hide this from them. “But don’t worry, they are fine. You guys should wait outside. I’ll look for Mu Qianlin to get them back.”
After speaking, Lian Fangcao turned and left.
“Will she cheat us?”
Li Ruolan was worried.
She could see that there were close to 40 green-skinned aboriginals here in the camp, and all of them looked muscular and powerful. It could be seen that they were brave warriors with a single glance.
If the other party wanted to catch them, they would be like turtles in a jar.
“At the very least, Lian Fangcao wouldn’t lie to us.”
Sun Mo believed in his own judgment.
But he couldn’t simply sit and do nothing. Hence, Sun Mo activated Divine Sight and stared at the powder on his body.
“Damn!”
Sun Mo cursed. He had always known that this eye technique was useless.
…
In the camp, there were many ghost orchids being planted. This was a very large herbaceous plant. After that, there were many cells made from weaving vines underneath the orchids.
The cells weren’t big. Even if a youth entered, they would at most be able to hug their knees in a sitting position and wouldn’t have much space to move. Also, there were even thorns on the vines, and the more the prisoner moved, the deeper the thorns would pierce them. Hence, it was basically impossible if one wanted to escape.
“You guys have quite a huge harvest during these few days!”
Lian Fangcao was shocked. She counted at least over 60 captives here.
“It’s all big brother’s credit.”
Mu Qiansen’s tone was filled with worship.
Very soon, the two of them entered a building that resembled a steamed bun. It was also made from plant materials.
“Fangcao, you are here?”
Mu Qianlin, who was currently standing in front of the map and thinking of plans, immediately smiled.
“Brother Mu, I hope you can release a few people.”
Lian Fangcao went straight to the point.
“Reason?”
Mu Qianlin was still smiling, but his smile was already somewhat stiff.
He didn’t like Lian Fangcao’s attitude. From his point of view, all the invaders should die.
Lian Fangcao then explained.
“They saved you?”
Mu Qianlin mocked, “This doesn’t mean anything. It’s just like when we hunt prey and release their cubs. The reason for doing so is to wait for the cubs to lead us to their entire group.”
“No. Sun Mo is a good person.”
Lian Fangcao persisted.
“How long have you known him that you dared to say he is a good person?”
Mu Qianlin was unhappy. “What about me? Am I a good or bad person?”
“Neither good nor bad.”
Lian Fangcao completely didn’t know how to chat. She spoke what she thought directly.
“Hehe!”
Mu Qianlin had a self-mocking smile on his face. “Not too bad. At least, I’m not a bad person.”
“Brother Mu, please spare the students of that man. In any case, we have so many captives and wouldn’t lack them!”
Lian Fangcao persuaded.
Mu Qianlin was the son of an elder, and his status was roughly equal to her who was the daughter of the chieftain. Hence, she had no way to force him to do anything.
“Sister Lian, you are in the wrong for this matter.”
Mu Qiansen could no longer watch. “My brother is doing this out of consideration for our tribe. Do you know how many of our tribesmen died during these few days? They were dissected after their deaths as well.”
“I’m also doing my best to save our tribesmen!”
Lian Fangcao sincerely spoke, “How many people does our tribe have? And how many invaders are there? If we continue fighting like this, we will all be annihilated before three months have passed.”
“It won’t happen. As long as we exterminate the first batch of invaders and establish our might, those invaders will feel fear and stop coming.”
When Mu Qianlin said this, his expression turned to one of arrogance.
“Enough, I can see that you are tired. You have not eaten yet, right? Let us eat while we speak!”
Lian Fangcao also knew Mu Qianlin’s temper and understood that she couldn’t convince him in a short time. She could only settle for the next best thing. “I will bring Sun Mo in then, so you can take a look at him.”
The green-skinned female felt that Sun Mo would be able to depend on his learning and charisma to convince Mu Qianlin.
“Better not. I’m worried I might kill him.”
Mu Qianlin shook his head.
“Can I take a look at those captives then?”
Lian Fangcao wanted to ascertain the situation of Mei Ziyu and the others. She hoped to be able to release them no matter what. After all, staying in the cells was too tormenting.
“Go on!”
When Mu Qianlin saw Lian Fangcao departing, he instructed his younger brother to prepare some food. “You know what to do, right?”
“Elder brother, don’t worry!”
Mu Qiansen revealed a sinister smile.
“After preparing the food, bring some men to surround those humans. Make sure you act cleanly.”
Mu Qianlin glanced back at the map. “I will return later on, the matters here will be left to you to handle.”
“Ah? So early?”
Mu Qiansen was badly shocked.
“There is news saying that some invaders have entered our holy ground. We have to kill them before they cause any greater damage.”
Mu Qianlin’s expression turned solemn.
Their holy ground being profaned was a major matter.
…
15 minutes later, Lian Fangcao returned.
“Can you release them?”
Lian Fangcao sat in front of the table.
“I can give them preferential treatment. But releasing them? You don’t need to think about it.”
Mu Qianlin spoke and waved his hands, “Qiansen, you go handle it.”
“Mn!”
Mu Qiansen just so nicely borrowed this excuse to retreat. After that, he summoned his people and went to the camp’s entrance.
“How long do we have to wait?”
Li Ruolan grew impatient.
Bai Xiqing wanted to speak to Sun Mo, but after seeing that he was in no mood to speak, she also felt embarrassed to insist on it.
“Teacher Sun, some aboriginals came out.”
Murong Mingyue warned.
“Hey, Sister Fangcao is afraid you guys might be hungry and specially prepared some food for you all.”
Mu Qiansen passed a wooden plate to Sun Mo. There was roasted meat, some type of fried granules, and some vegetables.
