Ancient Eden

Chapter 79

~ 78

Mu Qing had no intention of begging him, by promising him that she would stay away from Li Mang in the future, as long as he didn’t leave her alone in the jungle. Not to mention the fact that she wasn’t able to say such complicated words yet, even if she could, his heart wouldn’t soften even after hearing her words. Because she saw a glint in his eyes, a mix of cruelty and cunning, which she had never noticed before.

She just blamed herself for being too gullible, only thinking of him as an ordinary old man who was about to quit his position. She forgot that he must also have been a brave and even merciless man in the tribe when he was young, which allowed that man to lead his people to survive in the jungle and reproduce to such a large scale today.

And now, he was eradicating his daughter’s rival.

Chapter 79

(25.3)

Mu Qing was sweating, and now she felt cold, but still even more sweat kept constantly flowing profusely, her hair was clinging to her neck and back, and the whole person looked like she had just been fished out of the water.

She reckoned she was not strong enough to fight him if he wanted to kill her here. Even though the chief was old, but after all this walking, he showed no sign of fatigue or panting, the bones of his hands stood out, the back of his hands were bursting with veins, besides, he had that sharp bone knife on his waist. It was more than enough to deal with her.

“There is a tribe on the way ahead, you find it yourself. Don’t come back from now on, or I will kill you.”

Da Wu looked at her as he said those words slowly, and then he pointed towards the north.

Mu Qing did not fully understand, but she understood most of his intention. The only thing she was glad for was that he didn’t want her life, he just wanted to drive her away.

She did not want to provoke his anger, and the next moment end up as a fallen corpse that would be eaten by insects and wild beasts, slowly rotting away, becoming lonely bones.

But even if she was lucky and could escape wild beasts, after finding another tribe, would they accept and treat her well as a foreigner?

Besides, if Li Mang thought she escaped, would he be sad for a while, and then slowly forget about her, and completely go back to his old life??

Mu Qing’s heart felt like it was soaked with cold water, sinking uncontrollably towards the bottom of her body.

Da Wu’s eyes swept a somewhat complex glance at her, but he very quickly pursed his lips, passed by Mu Qing, and walked towards the direction they just came from.

Mu Qing watched his figure disappear into the dense jungle.

A feeling of fear arose in her heart, like insects slowly biting her heart.

She felt a little out of breath and couldn’t help but hold her head and slowly squat on the ground. After she felt more comfortable, she finally regained her footing, looking around in a daze.

Should she go in the direction where Da Wu went, or go the other way?

If she went north, she might be eaten by wild animals, she might get lost in the jungle and die, or she might find the tribe Da Wu was referring to and begin her unknown destiny.

Towards the south, she could also die in the jungle, or be lucky enough to see Li Mang again. But after that, what did she expect Li Mang to do? To make an enemy of the chief, or even the whole tribe, for her?

As she hesitated, she suddenly heard a rustling sound behind her, the rustling sound of vegetation being parted.

Her first thought was that it was a wild animal, her heart was beating so wildly that it felt like it was going to pop out of her throat. When she turned around the next moment, she was horrified to see the faces of several men appearing from the jungle.

They were obviously of a different race than Li Mang’s tribe. They were shorter and smaller, each one branded with a bowl-sized hideous beast head tattoo on the chest, each with a fierce and cruel face.

Mu Qing’s skin broke out in goosebumps, crying out in fear, she started running at once, but the men behind immediately found their way out of the bushes, squeaking and yelling something with their mouth, and caught her in a few seconds.

Mu Qing barely resisted. One of the men carried her onto his shoulders, just like the first time Li Mang had caught her.

They ran fast through the jungle, even jumping over gullies, and Mu Qing was almost turning insane from all the ups and downs.

When it became dark, they entered a cave, dropped Mu Qing on the ground, and started a fire.

Mu Qing looked around carefully and saw that this place did not look like a permanent residence. They probably had not yet reached their den, so they were only staying here tonight temporarily.
