Chapter 39

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the foot of the stone mountain, Jiang Xuan brought everyone to the altar and prayed to the ancient vine, hoping that it would protect the Vine Tribe.

Not long after, the buzzing of bird beak mosquitoes suddenly came from above the bamboo forest.

A dozen or so bird beak mosquitoes with wingspans of more than half a meter followed the aura of humans and found the members of the Vine Tribe first. They circled above them and gave directions to the warriors of the Mosquito Tribe behind them.

“Swish!”

Chi Shao picked up his bow and shot an arrow at a bird beak mosquito in the air. However, the bird beak mosquito flew very quickly and kept changing its position. The arrow missed.

“Chief, what should we do?” Someone began to panic.

The ancient vine did not respond, but they had already been discovered. The situation was extremely unfavorable for them.

“I’m thinking of something.”

Jiang Xuan was also very anxious. Now that they were targeted by the bird beak mosquitoes, it would be impossible for them to escape silently.

These birds and mosquitoes would stare at them from the sky and report to the people of the Mosquito Tribe. They would not be able to escape at all.

“Quick, they’re over there!”

“Chase after them and kill these damn vagabonds!”

In the bamboo forest, the voices of the Mosquito Tribe warriors were getting closer and closer. The Vine Tribe members slowly retreated to the foot of the stone mountain and looked at the dense bamboo forest in fear.

Just as Jiang Xuan was feeling despair, the sound of a small helicopter flying suddenly came from above.

On the stone mountain, a huge dragonfly with a wingspan of six meters locked its 360-degree holographic eyes on the beaked mosquitoes. Its four huge wings flapped quickly, stirring up a violent wind.

“Whoo-hoo!”

The giant dragonfly swooped down and rushed over the bamboo forest. It instantly captured a bird beak mosquito. Its six barbed feet grabbed the bird beak mosquito tightly, preventing it from escaping.

“Crack…”

The giant dragonfly’s powerful pincers crushed the head of the bird beak mosquito in one bite. Then it quickly chewed the mosquito with its sharp mouth.

The giant dragonfly was very big. The bird beak mosquito was like an ordinary mosquito in its mouth. It ate it in a few bites.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz…”

The giant dragonfly swooped down again. A bird beak mosquito did not escape far before it was caught and eaten in a few bites.

The remaining bird beak mosquitoes fled into the bamboo forest in panic. They instinctively used the thick bamboo to avoid their natural enemies.

“Good!”

Seeing this, the Vine Tribe members cheered. Even Jiang Xuan was very surprised.

Previously, he was still thinking about taming a giant dragonfly. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, this giant dragonfly that had been resting on the stone mountain helped them a lot.

Although Jiang Xuan knew very well that this giant dragonfly was only hunting, without these annoying bird beak mosquitoes, their chances of escaping were greater.

“Run!”

Jiang Xuan did not intend to sit back and wait for death. Since the ancient vine did not react, they could only escape by themselves.

However, before they could take a few steps, a sinister-looking Mosquito Tribe warrior suddenly appeared in front of them. The three horizontal lines on his face were very obvious.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

He was the leader of the Mosquito Tribe, Tiger Mosquito, a powerful three-color warrior.

The strength and speed of the three-color warrior far exceeded that of the other warriors. Therefore, the Tiger Mosquitoes were the first to catch up to the stone mountain and stop the people of the Vine Tribe.

Tiger Mosquito first glanced at the simple yellow clay altar under the stone mountain and sneered in disdain. Then he stared at Jiang Xuan coldly.

“Kid, how dare you trick me? I’ll torture you to death later!”

Under Tiger Mosquito’s gaze, Jiang Xuan felt his hair stand on end. This person was so powerful. Even if they attacked together, they would definitely not be able to defeat him.

The giant dragonfly that had eaten the two bird beak mosquitoes had already returned to the stone mountain. This confirmed Jiang Xuan’s guess. It was only here to hunt for food and did not really want to help the Vine Tribe fight the enemy.

At this moment, the other Mosquito Tribe warriors also arrived at the foot of the stone mountain. They surrounded the members of the Vine Tribe and completely cut off their escape route.

This time, the Vine Tribe was in a truly desperate situation.

Am I going to die here today?

Jiang Xuan was very unwilling. It was not easy for him to survive in this world and establish a tribe.

If he died here like this, he would really die aggrieved.

“Kid, how do you think I should cut you?”

Tiger Mosquito approached, step by step. He pulled out a bone knife from his waist and smiled cruelly.

At this moment, Chi Shao took a step forward and stood in front of Jiang Xuan, holding a bone spear tightly in her hand.

“If you want to kill my brother, you’ll have to kill me first.”

“Sis…”

Jiang Xuan was very touched, but the current situation really made him feel extremely aggrieved.

If he was weak, he would be bullied.

This principle was vividly reflected in the primitive world of the wilderness.

Unfortunately, the weak Vine Tribe had been established for too short a time. Before they could grow, they encountered the ferocious Mosquito Tribe.

If Jiang Xuan was given a few more years, he believed that the Vine Tribe would definitely become stronger. At the very least, they would not be at the mercy of others like now.

Tiger Mosquito continued walking forward with a cold smile on his face. “Don’t worry, I’ll kill all of you!”

The encirclement formed by the warriors of the Mosquito Tribe was getting smaller and smaller. They were about to attack.

Why don’t I risk it? Jiang Xuan thought.

He could not give up and die a cowardly death.

Even if he was destined to die, he would die on the way to a charge, not humiliated with a knife to his neck.

Jiang Xuan gripped the bone spear tightly. He looked back at Hook Vine, Stone Loach, South Star, and Sweet Pine and saw the anger in their eyes.

As for the other vagabonds, their combat strength was too weak. It was useless even if they tried their best. They were almost negligible.

Jiang Xuan gave Hook Vine and the others a look. He was prepared to attack together when the Tiger Mosquito got closer. Even if he died, he would stab him.

Hook Vine and the others seemed to understand Jiang Xuan’s gaze and tightened their grip on their weapons.

As Tiger Mosquito walked closer, Jiang Xuan’s breathing became hurried. Chi Shao in front was already prepared to attack.

However, at this moment, Tiger Mosquito suddenly stopped and did not continue forward.

“Yes!”

Tiger Mosquito realized that his feet seemed to be entangled by something. He looked down and realized that two vines had wrapped around his knees.

“What’s this?”

Tiger Mosquito pulled his feet hard, wanting to break the vines with brute force.

“Sou sou sou…”

However, the vines were extremely sturdy. Even with his terrifying strength as a three-color warrior, he could not break free. Not only that, the two vines actually grew quickly and became thicker and thicker.

In the blink of an eye, the two vines had already wrapped around the Tiger Mosquito’s chest and were still wrapping around him.

“Get lost, get lost…”

Tiger Mosquito panicked. The sudden appearance of the strange vines made him fearful. His thoughts of killing became thoughts of how to escape.

“Ah…”

“My legs…”

“Help me…”

At the same time, all the Mosquito Tribe warriors let out cries of surprise, screams, and cries for help.

Like Tiger Mosquito, they were all entangled by the strange vines that suddenly appeared. They struggled harder and harder, and they fell into endless fear.

The Vine Tribe members, who were about to go all out, were first stunned, then overjoyed.

Jiang Xuan said excitedly, “Vine God, it’s Vine God!”

“Great, we’re saved!”

Hook Vine and the others cheered. The vagabonds all knelt on the ground, surprised and terrified by this strange scene.

“Poof!”

At this moment, Chi Shao attacked decisively. She rushed forward and instantly pierced Tiger Mosquito’s neck with the stone spear in her hand.

“Gulp… Gulp…”

Tiger Mosquito’s eyes widened. He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t.

He had never expected to die in such a way, in a small tribe built by vagabonds.

“No one can kill my brother!”

Chi Shao pulled the bone spear free and spat on the ground. Blood dripped from the tip into the dirt.

Tiger Mosquito’s body fell to the ground and was completely entangled by the vine, like a big cocoon woven by vine.

“Kill them!”

Jiang Xuan shouted. The members of the Vine Tribe attacked, one after another. With the help of the ancient vine, they killed all the other Mosquito Tribe warriors.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz…”

The bird beak mosquitoes seemed to have realized something and fled out of the bamboo forest towards the south.

On the stone mountain, the giant dragonfly attacked again and ate a few more mosquitoes. In the end, only three mosquitoes successfully escaped and disappeared into the vast primitive forest.

On the stone mountain, the ancient vine was covered in green light, making it look even more mysterious.
