Chapter 24: Red Fox Tribe
“Chase!”
Perhaps due to the obstruction of the mask, Luo Ji’s voice was now a little low.
Combined with the exceptionally ferocious appearance of the wolf bone mask, it added a terrifying aura to his entire being.
With eight monsters in inhuman masks hot on their heels, the three fleeing barbarians used every ounce of strength they had, desperately running for their lives!
Each bolted wildly, heads down, not daring to look back.
That glance earlier had scared the three of them badly, making them think they had encountered ghosts or evil gods, fearing that once their eyes met, they would be killed by the eight monsters.
However, at this moment, as the pursuers, Luo Yong, also wearing a wolf bone mask, controlled his speed slightly and quickly moved beside Luo Ji.
“Chief, those three guys running ahead, I find them a bit familiar.”
“Which tribe are they from?”
Luo Ji did not slow down, asking as he chased.
“If I remember correctly, they should be from the Red Fox Tribe.”
“Red Fox Tribe?”
Luo Ji clearly had no impression of this name.
The system settings that initially appeared in his mind also did not describe this so-called ‘Red Fox Tribe.’
“It’s a small tribe with a population size similar to ours before, and their strength is probably not as good as ours.”
After saying this, Luo Yong thought for a moment and spoke again.
“Our two tribes were quite close in location back then.”
“They likely also suffered from that blizzard, which is why they would appear near here.”
Population size similar to theirs before? And their strength was weaker than theirs.
Getting these two pieces of information from Luo Yong, Luo Ji immediately understood.
“Meaning, we can easily defeat them now, right?”
“Easily, Chief.”
Luo Yong nodded seriously.
Although only eight warriors were chasing this time, their combat power was far beyond what it used to be.
Moreover, a small tribe like the Red Fox Tribe likely didn’t even have eight decent warriors so they were definitely no match for them.
At this moment, Luo Ji showed complete trust in his tribe’s first warrior and directly revised his previous plan.
“Keep chasing.”
“Everyone, control your speed and conserve your energy.”
“Let’s see if those three guys will lead us to their tribe.”
“When the time comes, we’ll wipe them all out to avoid future troubles.”
People whose mental will has been crushed by unknown fear will have significantly reduced thinking ability, or rather, they no longer have the extra energy to think about anything else.
The fear in their hearts will instinctively make them flee to a place they feel safe.
And in this icy and snowy weather, what place other than where their tribal companions are could make them feel a sense of safety?
Fleeing all the way, the three terrified barbarians quickly escaped back to the temporary camp of the Red Fox Tribe, located on a hillside.
There, the 20+ members were hiding at the base, using the natural terrain as a barrier against the wind and snow.
“What’s wrong? Weren’t you told to go hunting?”
Seeing the three return with panicked faces, an ominous feeling rose in the Red Fox Tribe’s leader’s heart.
“Mon… monsters! There are monsters!!”
The three barbarians plunged into the crowd, then hugged their heads and curled up in the innermost part of the hillside.
Their incoherent words made the tribal leader frown deeply.
“Monsters?”
Subconsciously glancing in the direction the three had come from, his brow furrowed even tighter.
“Where are the monsters? There’s nothing!”
“No… nothing?”
Hearing this, the trembling bodies of the three returning barbarians slightly calmed down.
Then, suppressing the fear in their hearts, they cautiously glanced behind them.
The terrifying figures from before did not appear in their line of sight.
Looking at the blindingly white snow in the distance, the three who had been on edge the whole way began to gasp for air, letting the cold air fill their throats and lungs.
Through this slightly stinging sensation, they finally found a sense of reality, and then a look of relief at having escaped death appeared on their faces.
“They didn’t… didn’t chase us! We survived, we survived! Hahahaha…”
Looking at the three tribal warriors whose reactions clearly showed signs of nervousness, almost as if they had gone mad.
The Red Fox Tribe’s leader was full of doubts, his two eyebrows nearly twisted together.
The reactions of his three tribal warriors made him unable to ignore it.
“What exactly did you encounter?”
“What monsters?’
“Explain yourselves clearly!”
Facing the continuous questioning from their tribal leader, the three barbarians’ expressions froze simultaneously.
Their recently calmed emotions were once again enveloped by fear.
“Their… their bodies are similar to ours, but their heads are not human at all!”
As they spoke, the ferocious and terrifying appearance of the Wolf Warriors reappeared in the minds of the three barbarians, and the fear on their faces became even more pronounced.
“Yes, their heads are like both beasts and dead men’s bones! And they are holding strange weapons…”
One after another, the three very unstable barbarians finally recounted the situation with considerable accuracy.
The surrounding barbarians of the Red Fox Tribe became somewhat unsettled by their words, while the tribal leader’s doubts grew stronger and stronger.
“Bodies similar to ours, heads like both beasts and dead men’s bones?”
‘Holding strange weapons?”
Muttering these words to himself, honestly, based solely on these descriptions, he could not imagine what those things could be.
After all, did such inhuman monsters truly exist?
But looking at the three tribal warriors who were clearly scared out of their wits, he did not think they were lying to him.
Tribes that could survive in this era were either strong enough to plunder the population, food, and resources of other tribes, or cautious enough to avoid danger and survive painstakingly.
The Red Fox Tribe before him clearly had no connection to the word ‘strong,’ yet they had survived until now.
Therefore, their tribal leader was a very cautious person.
Although he still didn’t know what the monsters his three tribal warriors spoke of were, not wanting to take any risks, he decisively decided to quickly leave this temporary shelter they had finally found.
Regarding their leader’s decision, the tribal members, though looking exhausted, still expressed their agreement.
However, before they could make any further moves, a sturdy figure suddenly leaped from the hillside behind them!
Then, accompanied by a dull thud, the force of landing created a deep pit in the snow before them.
Continuous cries of alarm rang out in his ears.
The terrifying figure in the Red Fox Tribe leader’s mind gradually overlapped with the descriptions of the three tribal warriors from before…
“Thinking of leaving?”
“Too late!”
