Ancient Eden

Chapter 85

~End of chapter 84

Li Mang’s face immediately darkened, as he dodged the arrow like an agile cheetah, and threw the sharp spear in his hand like lightning towards the man. The spear heavily pierced into the man’s chest. The man took five or six steps backwards and fell to the ground on his back, with the end of the spear in his chest twitching endlessly.

This sudden scene did not stop the situation at all, for almost at the same time, the leader Gang Tu was already shouting, and leading his people towards Li Mang, to launch a frenzied attack.

Mu Qing was forcibly pushed on the ground by the few women who rushed at her. They were so strong that she couldn’t move at all as she was tied up with her hands behind her back. She was even kicked harshly several times on her rib cage.

But she no longer cared about her pain, she just raised her head from the ground, anxiously scanning through the fighting crowd searching for Li Mang’s figure.

Chapter 85

(27.3)

When Mu Qing saw Li Mang, his body was already stained with blood, she didn’t know whether it was his blood or someone else’s, but the whole person looked like a fierce and bloodthirsty lion.

.

People were already falling down on both sides.

A real bloody scene was actually being played in front of Mu Qing. Much more horrible than the bloody scenes she had seen before in films and television drama. She did not dare to look, and almost buried her head in the ground.

Those familiar shivers once again assaulted her, she had just killed a person with her own hands after all.

She suddenly heard a furious roar. It was Li Mang’s voice.

Mu Qing suddenly looked up and saw that Li Mang had grabbed Gang Tu firmly in his hands. Gang Tu’s hand was twisted in a strange shape in the back of his neck, and his other arm appeared to have been broken. The tip of Yi Jia’s spear was pressed against his throat.

The scuffle finally stopped. The people who could still walk quickly gathered around their respective side.

Li Mang did not have as many people as the opposite side, and if the fight continued, they would be the ones to lose. To seize the thieves, one first to seize their chief, perhaps no one had ever taught him this principle, but his innate natural instinct of the jungle let him know what was good for him.

Mu Qing saw Li Mang looking in her direction, the two people’ eyes met again.

She suddenly felt relieved for a moment, because the look in his eyes as he looked at her was full of concern, anxiety, comfort and perseverance.

She felt she was safe now, despite the fact that she was still in such a wretched position with several women’s bare feet stepping on her on the ground.

Li Mang started talking with Gang Tu, who was restrained by him.

She couldn’t hear much because of the distance, but she knew it was related to her, because almost all people’s eyes were on her.

They were talking about exchanging prisoners.

Li Mang initially demanded that their chief be exchanged for Mu Qing and the food and animal skins that originally belonged to them.

But it was rejected.

Here, women were as precious to a tribe as animal skins and food, and Li Mang could only choose one. Otherwise, Gang Tu would rather be killed and let his people choose another chief.

He had always been a ruthless and unfeeling man, and he was the same towards himself.

Li Mang did not hesitate and immediately chose Mu Qing.

But it was clear that some of the men behind Li Mang had disapproving looks on their faces.

They were probably thinking that it was more important to get back the food and animal skins. They just didn’t express any objection because of Li Mang’s attitude.

Mu Qing was picked up from the ground, and just when she thought she could quickly go back to Li Mang’s side, another accident happened.

Once again, Da Wu fell into the hands of the Gang Tu’s tribe.

After all, he was old and seriously injured, and although he had been holding on with the strength of his will, once he was back with his tribesmen, he could no longer hold on. When the fight started, there were his tribesmen to protect him, but now that the situation was under control, everyone’s attention was drawn to the middle here, and nobody noticed the men of Gang Tu’s tribe sneaking out of the woods behind him. They effortlessly captured him once again and were now holding him against a tree stump in a sitting position.

Da Wu was dragged to stand across from Li Mang together with Mu Qing.

Now the situation had changed again.

Between the woman, food and animal skins, and their leader, they could only choose one of them to do the exchange.

Li Mang’s face looked as dark as the sky before a storm, his arm that was twisting Gang Tu’s hand in his back was bursting with veins. Gang Tu’s face was distorted and cold sweat flowed down from his forehead, but he never lowered his head.

No matter what time, loyalty to the chief was unquestionable for them. The fact that Li Mang was not speaking and was delaying to make his choice made the men behind him feel very dissatisfied, and they finally could not resist urging him.

Yi Jia’s gaze swept between Li Mang and Mu Qing, and then he glanced at Tu Lu, the look in his eyes flashed with a slightly intricate light, but he very quickly tightly pursed his lips.

Mu Qing’s heart gradually tensed up, the clamorous quarrel behind Li Mang was getting louder and louder.

Li Mang …… in the end was forced to make a choice between her and his tribe.
