Chapter 42: The Showdown
Time passed day by day.
The people of the opposing tribe were unexpectedly resilient.
Despite their food source being essentially cut off, they managed to survive for several days just by melting snow for water.
During these days, Luo Ji didn’t go easy on them at all.
He visited them at the temporary camp at regular intervals, acting like a bunch of utter thugs, going in and out of the enemy tribe and doing whatever they pleased.
Their numbers were small, so they couldn’t kill the young chief of the opposing tribe.
While the opponents had more people, their overall strength was low, and they couldn’t defeat Luo Ji’s group.
Neither side could really do much to the other.
However, under this premise, Luo Ji, who had sufficient food supplies, held an absolute advantage.
He could completely outlast them, but the opponent didn’t have that confidence…
At this moment, the young chief’s eyes were bloodshot.
This terrible situation had prevented him from getting a good night’s sleep for several days.
His eyes were frighteningly red, filled with blood vessels.
At the same time, having not eaten for several days, his cheeks were also deeply sunken, and he had inevitably fallen into a weak state of malnutrition.
On this day, facing the wolf warriors’ attack once again, he finally couldn’t help but roar out a question in his hoarse voice.
“What in the world do you want?!”
This question already carried obvious grief and indignation.
Yes, what in the world did they want?
If they wanted to wipe them out, they should have been able to do so two or three days ago.
But the opponents just wouldn’t do that.
Every time they had fought enough, they would retreat and then start patrolling the outskirts.
If the opponents left the tribe, the wolf warriors would charge up. If they stayed in the tribe, the wolf warriors would continue to patrol outside.
They were just wearing them down like this.
What in the world did they want?
To wear them down until they starved to death and then come up to collect their bodies?
To be honest, the young chief was a bit unable to understand, because in this era, wearing down a tribe until they starved to death and then collecting their bodies was troublesome and pointless.
Who would be so bored as to do such a thing?
Luo Ji was naturally not such a bored person.
To be honest, he was also mumbling to himself, these stubborn people were too tenacious.
They were in such a state and still hadn’t packed up and run away?
Were they planning to fight him to the death?
As for wiping them out, Luo Ji hadn’t even thought about it, because he completely didn’t plan to endure the death throes of these barbarians.
And he wouldn’t accept their surrender either.
The tribe couldn’t digest them.
Taking in this group of people would instead cause their tribe’s development efficiency to decrease, and it might even make the tribe internally unstable, affecting unity and development.
“Since things have come to this, I’ll be frank.”
“I have no interest in fighting a decisive battle with you, but your presence here is quite troublesome to me.”
“So, would it be too much trouble to ask you to find another place to live?”
Luo Ji’s words were polite, but the content was not polite at all!
Upon hearing this, the young chief’s facial muscles twitched immediately.
Find another place to live?
What kind of joke was this?!
In this season of ice and snow, did they need to think about how terrible it would be for a tribe to lose its camp and be displaced?
Moreover, the temperature had been continuously dropping over the past few days, with no sign of warming up.
If this trend continued, in a few more days, the temperature might become even colder.
At that time, before they could find a new place to settle, who knew how many tribal members would freeze to death in this bitter winter!
This was practically forcing them onto a path of death!
Thinking of this, a look of undisguised ferocity immediately appeared on the young chief’s face.
“Hearing your words, you probably don’t want to face our desperate counterattack, which is why you’ve been wearing us down like this, right?”
“Aren’t you afraid that you’ll push us too hard and we’ll charge out?!”
“At worst, everyone dies together in this bitter winter!”
The young chief’s words carried obvious threats, completely adopting an attitude of ‘if you provoke me again, I’ll take you down with me.’
However, Luo Ji didn’t fall for it at all…
“Is that so?”
“Don’t worry. If you charge out, I’ll take my people and run back.”
“I definitely won’t give you the chance to die together.”
Luo Ji said with an incredibly serious and sincere tone when giving his reply to the young chief’s threat, almost making the young chief standing opposite him vomit blood.
Facing Luo Ji’s shameless words, he was completely shocked.
His heart twitched non-stop. He was actually being forced to this extent by such a shameless monster, who was neither human nor ghost?
Did this guy have no dignity as a warrior?!
At the same time, a deep sense of powerlessness arose in his heart, because after thinking it through carefully, he realized that he really had no way to deal with this shameless guy.
Without staying any longer, and not needing the young chief’s reply, the threat that the barbarians of this tribe could pose to them had become smaller and smaller over the past few days.
After doing whatever he pleased for a while, Luo Ji left with the other seven wolf warriors in a triumphant manner, leaving only the barbarians in the camp looking at each other…
“Chief, we…”
The group looked at each other, no one knowing what to say.
They were living well here, who would want to leave?
To find a new settlement in the ice and snow?
Were they crazy?!
But the current situation made them feel like they had to bow their heads.
In the end, they could only hand over the decision-making power to the chief, and if the chief made the decision, everyone should have no objections.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Luo Ji, who had returned to the temporary camp, looked up at the sun in the sky.
Bathed in the sunlight, he felt no warmth at all.
Considering the continuously dropping temperature over the past few days, this temporary camp was quite rudimentary after all, and continuing to wear them down like this was actually not that easy for them either.
Just then, a wolf warrior responsible for continuous harassment returned to the camp quickly.
“Chief, the people of that tribe are dismantling their tents! It seems they are planning to leave! Should we…?”
“No need.”
Luo Ji knew what the wolf warrior meant.
When the opponents left carrying their belongings and with their families, their movements would clearly become inconvenient.
If they suddenly attacked at this time, the success rate would be very high.
But he still didn’t plan to do so.
The reason was simple. there was no benefit.
As long as the people of that tribe were willing to move away, his objective had already been achieved.
There was no need to create additional problems.
To be safe, Luo Ji put on his wolf bone mask and personally went to the outskirts of that camp to keep an eye on them.
The opponents’ movements were fast, probably wanting to quickly find the next shelter before dark and get through the first night after being displaced.
Luo Ji had no sympathy in his heart.
Their positions were different.
In this kind of situation, there was no right or wrong.
Before leaving, that young chief even glanced towards where Luo Ji was standing, his gaze as if to say, ‘I will kill my way back sooner or later.’
Luo Ji didn’t care about this.
He believed that by then, their Mirror tribe would have established city defenses and developed farming.
In other words, in this era, he would already be in an invincible position!
