Chapter 789: Cunning Human!
Xunfeng tribe.
Sacrifice day.
As the annual sacrificial day of the Xunfeng tribe, the tribe from top to bottom attaches great importance to it and starts preparations early.
The place with the most noise among them is naturally the animal pen.
Apart from some simple formalities, the main content of the sacrificial day was related to these slaves.
Free hunting.
This is the biggest event of the festival.
On this day, all the young beasts in the tribe can participate and capture the released slaves freely without considering any external factors.
As for whether to swallow the creature directly after catching it or to drain its mental power first, it is all decided by the captor.
You know, under normal circumstances the tribe would never allow them to do such a thing of draining the pond to catch fish. Even for the direct bloodline of Xunfenghu, they would only dare to find one or two humans at a time, and would be punished if they found more than that.
But today, there are no such restrictions.
"Hurry up and run far away, don't ruin the fun of the young masters!"
Several guards kicked a slave who was walking slower and rushed them out of the tribe into the vast woods outside.
Since it is hunting, there must naturally be a hunting ground, and the hunting ground of the Xunfeng tribe is the huge Tianjiu Forest in front of them.
Unlike the fenced hunting grounds of humans that Bai Qi was familiar with, the Xunfeng tribe did not bother to surround them in advance and even left enough time for the human slaves to escape.
As a well-known tribe with wind attributes, the ferocious beasts of Xunfeng tribe are absolutely confident in their speed.
If someone does not gain anything during the sacrificial day, he will basically live in endless ridicule for the next year.
"No wonder these people dared to take the risk and escape. In such a large forest, if they had thought of a way out in advance, they would have had a good chance of escaping. However..."
Bai Qi glanced quietly at the dark cloud that was always following them above his head and sighed silently.
What sacrificial day, what hunting day? It was obviously a fishing day deliberately created by the Xunfeng tribe to lure out those human slaves who still dreamed of escaping.
"From now on, if anyone says that ferocious beasts are brainless, I will get angry with them!"
Bai Qi restrained his eyes and disguised himself to be the same as the others. He followed the marks that had been agreed upon long ago and followed Ji Aotian all the way.
Because of long-term exploitation, the human slaves were not advancing very fast, and the Xunfeng tribe seemed to want the slaves to run farther away, so they did not take any action.
But some of them are obviously a few points faster than others.
"I didn't expect there would be so many people. It seems there are many people like Ji Aotian."
Bai Qi looked around quietly and soon found nearly a hundred people who were moving in a similar trajectory as him. A trace of helplessness flashed across his face.
In such a desperate environment, a glimmer of life suddenly appeared. It was indeed difficult to resist unless you were completely numb.
"But it's your luck to meet me."
Seeing this, Bai Qi tried to chase after him, but before he had gone far, he was grabbed by a pair of hands.
Discovered ?
Bai Qi pretended to be confused, turned around and saw a dirty boy pulling his clothes tightly.
"It's dangerous over there, don't go there, I know a safe place."
The young man whispered something in Bai Qi's ear in a low voice, and then without waiting for Bai Qi to answer, he continued to run to the next person.
There were two other teenagers of similar age who behaved like the boy.
"What did these young men know ?"
Bai Qi looked thoughtfully at the three teenagers who were running without any effect. However, after seeing Ji Aotian and others gradually going away, he did not follow the teenagers but quickly caught up with them.
"Wang Xi, what should we do? They don't believe us."
A blond boy with blue eyes ran up to the dirty boy with a worried look on his face and said, "If they go over there, they will definitely be eaten."
"It's all those damn guys. They even deceived their fellow countrymen."
Another tall young man with a crew cut gritted his teeth and looked in the direction of the Xunfeng tribe, his eyes full of hatred.
"Feng Xu, calm down."
The young man named Wang Xi grabbed Huo Fengxu and said, "It's so hard to get a chance to escape. No normal person would want to miss it."
"But……"
Huo Fengxu was still somewhat unwilling, but after seeing the boy's discerning look, he could only force himself to endure it.
"Let's follow them and see what's going on. If nothing works, we can only take a gamble!"
Wang Xi glanced at the direction Bai Qi and the others were heading, exchanged a glance with the other two, and then strode after them.
…
After leaving Wang Xi, Bai Qi quickened his pace and caught up with Ji Aotian and others.
Without exception, these people were tricked into finding a way to escape. Although there was little communication between them, Bai Qi could still see a strong desire to survive on their faces.
As the surrounding environment becomes more and more hidden, this desire to survive is becoming stronger and stronger.
Finally, Ji Aotian led a group of people to a cave. Before they could enter, several humans armed with weapons walked out.
"Don't worry, these are our compatriots. If it weren't for their support, I wouldn't guarantee that I could take you away."
Ji Aotian walked out of the team, took out a bone blade, and said, "Okay, now hurry up, I will help you break the contract, and you will never be discovered by the beasts of the Xunfeng tribe again."
Hearing Ji Aotian's words, the eyes of those who followed him suddenly lit up and they rushed towards Ji Aotian one after another. The people who came out of the cave also took out similar bone blades and started to help together.
Ji Aotian was very skillful and quickly helped more than a dozen people break their contracts. These people then walked into the cave one after another with smiles of relief.
According to Ji Aotian, comfortable clothes and fresh food were prepared inside, and they could have a good rest.
"It's amazing how these guys could think of letting these people walk into a trap with hope."
Bai Qi frowned, feeling the several auras in the cave, his eyes gradually turned cold.
"In theory, the human soul can burst out with powerful power when experiencing drastic emotional changes."
Jerry looked at the cave and said, "From hope to despair, the mental power these humans have unleashed is far greater in both quantity and quality than usual. I'm afraid the Xunfeng tribe is fighting for this purpose."
"Um."
Bai Qi nodded and followed the crowd forward, only to find that the three young men had also followed him.
"Are they still planning to rescue people?"
Bai Qi raised his eyebrows upon seeing this, not quite understanding what the three young men were thinking. However, he had already arrived in front of Ji Aotian, and it was too late to stop them.
"Go in and rest, good days will come soon."
Ji Aotian still had that warm smile on his face. He picked up the bone blade and gently scratched Bai Qi's arm. Bai Qi immediately felt a strange substance entering his body through the wound, and his blood and mental power became active at the same time.
"The psychotropic drug Shunxincao can relax you in small amounts, but too high a concentration can amplify your emotions and cause irreparable damage to your mind."
Shuke analyzed the composition of this substance in an instant, and Bai Qi's face became even uglier. He exerted his muscles and squeezed out the substance.
"This is really an attempt to squeeze every last bit of value out of these people."
Bai Qi took a step forward and walked into the cave.
Ji Aotian did not deceive them this time. The cave was indeed filled with clean clothes, delicious food, and even luxury items such as wine.
When Bai Qi entered, some people had already started singing and dancing.
Unfortunately, these people did not notice that in the shadow of the cave, countless pairs of cold eyes were looking at them, as if they were looking at delicious food.
Soon, all humans entered the cave, and Ji Aotian and his companions blocked the cave entrance.
This behavior did not arouse the suspicion of the human slaves, but instead made them feel more at ease.
"Everyone, hurry up and eat and drink. We can't stay here for long. We are going to another place soon."
Ji Aotian walked to the center of the cave, looked at his fellow humans who were feasting, and said loudly.
"Where else are we going?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi took the initiative to step forward and asked.
"Where to go? Of course, to the belly of the honorable Lord Xun Fenghu!"
Hearing Bai Qi's question, the smile on Ji Aotian's face suddenly turned gloomy, and the Xunfeng tigers that had been hiding in the cave for a long time also rushed out one after another.
"Why is it so slow? We have been waiting for a long time."
The black tiger that had been to Bai Qi's pen before glared at Ji Aotian with a hint of reproach, but Ji Aotian smiled apologetically and said, "Don't be offended, Master Feng Xing. If it weren't for this, these people wouldn't taste so good."
"Forget it, as long as I can eat it."
Feng Xing waved his claws upon hearing this, turned his head to look at the hundreds of humans standing there, and revealed a ferocious smile.
This is a unique benefit for their Xunfeng Tiger lineage, which other ferocious beasts do not have.
Seeing Feng Xing take action, the other Xunfeng Tigers also moved. They were not in a hurry and slowly approached the collapsed human slave.
Cats playing with mice and humans are also good entertainment for them.
"Some emperors and kings dare to be so rampant. Don't they know that humans are terrifying when they get angry?"
A cruel smile appeared on Bai Qi's face, and the wheel of fate was turning quietly, brewing a massacre.
But at this moment, three young men led by Wang Xi suddenly jumped out, one of them holding a handful of blue powder in his hand and sprinkled it at the Xunfeng Tiger.
These powders were very light and floated away with just a slight wave, and followed the Xunfenghu's breath directly into their nasal cavity.
After inhaling the powder, several Xunfeng tigers actually became limp and fell asleep on the ground.
"Nepeta? How dare you, such a cunning human, plot against us!"
