Chapter 335: Evil Sacrificial Techniques
Lin Ye was discovered by the other party, and complications were likely to arise. Lin Ye wished for the war to end without anyone being harmed on their side without anyone knowing, as that was what he wanted to see most.
Lin Ye had them watch from afar, telling them that someone would come to relieve them later, with each person on watch for two shichen. When Lin Ye and Nanqiangren returned with a few people, it was already dark. Three bird calls could be heard from a distance. Before Lin Ye could respond, three different bird calls came from behind him. A person immediately emerged from the darkness, saying, “Tribe Leader, you’re back.” Lin Ye responded with a sound and saw someone emerge from the camp where they were stationed.
All these hidden sentries were arranged according to Lin Ye’s plan. Lin Ye had only proposed the idea, never expecting these people to execute it so well.
Fatty and the others, holding torches, came to greet them. Seeing Lin Ye from afar, Fatty shouted, “Tribe Leader, you’re finally back! If you hadn’t returned, your tribesmen would have already charged in.” Lin Ye chuckled and said, “Heh heh, my people wouldn’t act so rashly. It’s probably you who told them to charge out, isn’t it?”
“Tribe Leader, you wrong me. Everything I do is for your own good. I was afraid that something might happen to you. What if something were to happen to your tribe’s leader?” Fatty shouted dramatically.
“Haha, with Warrior Ye Zi around, who could possibly harm me?” Lin Ye laughed heartily, also speaking loudly.
Fatty glanced at Nanqiangren, gave a dry laugh, and said, “Yes.”
He then continued, “Warrior Ye Zi is only one person, after all. Even a fierce tiger can’t withstand a pack of wolves.”
Besides mentioning the two answers that Lin Ye had already guessed, A Qi said, “If it’s as the Tribe Leader described, then those people are very likely from the other side of the mountain. Legend has it that besides being man-eaters, they also practice evil sacrificial techniques, sacrificing to the heavens with human blood, hoping to gain the protection of the gods.” Upon hearing this, Lin Ye felt a chill in his heart for no reason, thinking that such tribes actually existed.
“You need to confirm this information,” Lin Ye immediately asked.
A Qi met Lin Ye’s gaze and replied, “This is a legend passed down in our tribe because our tribe is not far from Tianzuo Mountain. Therefore, our tribesmen often hunt on that mountain. Occasionally, they would go to the other side of the mountain and see many human skulls arranged at the foot of some mountains, arranged in the same pattern.” “This is really happening? Sacrificing living people to the heavens. Only evil gods would accept such offerings,” Lin Ye exclaimed in shock.
A Qi nodded. Fatty, shaking the fat on his body, also said, “Yes. I’ve heard about this before. It’s something that has been passed down in our tribe.” “It is said that those in the west are blessed by evil gods, and our Heavenly God is separated from those evil gods by Xiling.”
Black Wind also said, “We know about this too, and it’s widely spread on our side. I believe there must be some of our words circulating on their side as well.” “Yes, there must be similar legends circulating on their side as well.”
Lin Ye sighed lightly and said indifferently, “Chaos, the heavens are about to bring great turmoil. The world is in fourfold chaos.”
Lin Ye spoke of some principles from his past life, using the name of the Heavenly God as a guise, which stunned everyone. Their eyes immediately lit up as they looked at Lin Ye.
The words of the Heavenly God instantly reminded everyone of a saying that had once circulated among the primitive tribes: “The Heavenly God’s envoy, Wolf Red, he speaks the language of the gods.” This made everyone recall it again.
Lin Ye had never denied this.
Lin Ye wanted to bypass the slave society and feudal society and establish a good society, which was originally impossible. Society had to go through a long period of development. However, with a transmigration being present, there was a glimmer of opportunity.
The result of this discussion was to wait and see, that is, to deal with changes by remaining unchanged. However, the most important thing was not to let them discover themselves. Otherwise, they would lose the effect of a surprise attack. The art of war dictates that one should meet direct attacks with direct tactics and break through with surprise. Only by combining direct and surprise tactics can victory be achieved.
The people of the Caoqian Tribe who had been occupied were not good people to begin with. However, tonight, they had exceeded Lin Ye’s expectations. He never thought they would just disappear like that, disappearing so bizarrely. If it hadn’t been for the darkness of the night, Lin Ye would have sent someone to follow them. But because it was night, he thought they had returned to their tribe. It was only later that he discovered that after entering the tribe’s jurisdiction, they had all vanished without a trace.
Since pursuit was impossible in the dark, Lin Ye had no choice but to have people stand guard there. They would observe again tomorrow and then seize the opportunity to defeat them in one fell swoop.
Lin Ye smiled and sent everyone away, indicating that his mood was quite good and that he was not affected by the incident. However, after they left, they didn’t see Lin Ye’s eyes slowly narrow. This was Lin Ye’s way of thinking when he encountered difficult problems.
Lin Ye and Nanqiangren left last. Looking up at the dark night sky, Lin Ye held Nanqiangren’s hand and walked into the darkness. He knew that Nanqiangren would still patrol the camp once more before sleeping, and this time Lin Ye intended to patrol with Nanqiangren. Lin Ye had not told Nanqiangren about the commanding officer patrolling the camp, but Nanqiangren had heard Lin Ye speak about it at the primitive tribal academy. She did it silently.
Nanqiangren felt that besides being able to fight a few people, she couldn’t do anything else and couldn’t share anything with Lin Ye. Therefore, Nanqiangren had been thinking diligently all along. The people of the primitive tribe all felt that Mai Huang had learned the most from Lin Ye, and they all believed that Yun was the most diligent person. However, Lin Ye knew that Nanqiangren was equally diligent. Although Nanqiangren’s efforts were not as apparent as Yun’s, and their talents were different, Nanqiangren’s hidden hard work was no weaker than Yun’s.
Lin Ye and Nanqiangren hadn’t eaten for half a day. After patrolling the camp, they decided to roast something to eat themselves. They lit a fire in the tent and set up a small stove. Those below, upon hearing that Lin Ye hadn’t eaten and was cooking something himself, turned as pale as death. They rushed over to beg for Lin Ye’s forgiveness. When they saw Nanqiangren sitting obediently by the side, they immediately held their breath and dared not make a sound. They had run into the camp out of breath but immediately restrained themselves.
Lin Ye waved his hand, signaling them to leave. However, they still dared not go. Lin Ye had no choice but to say, “It’s not your fault. We wanted to cook something for ourselves. You can go down and rest. There may be a fierce battle tomorrow. Killing more enemies will count as a merit.” The crowd felt as if they had been granted a general amnesty but still didn’t dare to leave, secretly glancing at Nanqiangren.
