Chapter 790, Prolonged Campaign

*Whoosh whoosh whoosh…*

 

Two hot air balloons flew through the sky, eventually slowly converging at a single point.

 

This was Yan Hua and the others. They had already been away from the Flame Dragon Tribe for over ten days.

 

They had also successfully completed the mission Su Bai had assigned them. Those Tribes belonging to the Dark Scorpion Tribe had all been dealt with.

 

The two squads finally met in the sky today at the appointed time, with each team having dealt with several Tribes.

 

Of course, the Tribes they had eliminated were the known ones. There were still many unknown Tribes remaining.

 

“Ah’Hua, I wonder if what they said was true or not.” Sha Lan still felt somewhat concerned.

 

“They shouldn’t be lying. After all, I have methods.” Yan Hua rotated her wrist.

 

Yan Hua was also very clever. Before dealing with the last few Tribes, she had questioned them first.

 

She checked whether there were any other Tribes belonging to the Dark Scorpion Tribe in their vicinity. Fortunately, all the answers she received were negative.

 

They all said that the Tribes belonging to the Dark Scorpion Tribe were mostly quite far from here.

 

The Tribes closer to here had all been dealt with already. In other words, using the Flame Dragon Tribe as a central point radiating outward, there were no more Dark Scorpion Tribesmen across a vast area.

 

The remaining Tribes were all independent Tribes, never belonging to anyone.

 

“Hahaha… It’s not good of you to frighten them like that.” Sha Lan covered her mouth and laughed.

 

Sha Lan found it quite amusing recalling how Yan Hua had tricked those people. Her interrogation about matters related to the Dark Scorpion Tribe were all made from deception.

 

In short, she tricked them into believing she had placed an insect into their bodies, an insect raised by the Shaman. This insect had also been imbued with Shaman Techniques. It could sense whether they were lying, and if they lied, this insect would take their life.

 

This was Yan Hua’s method for extracting useful information from those people, and it proved infallible.

 

Those people all feared death greatly and dared not hold back the truth. Furthermore, having reached this stage, there was no need to continue lying, so they all told the truth.

 

Of course, this method was something Su Bai had secretly whispered in their ears before Yan Hua had left.

 

Since they were already going out on a mission to deal with these Tribes, why not make these Tribes’ deaths worthwhile?

 

They certainly needed to pry some information about the Dark Scorpion Tribe from their mouths. Su Bai only cared whether there were any near the Flame Dragon Tribe.

 

As for other places, he could slowly deal with them later. Right now, the Flame Dragon Tribe did not have the time and energy to eliminate all these hidden threats.

 

He only wanted to resolve the hidden threats around the Tribe, allowing the Flame Dragon Tribe to develop steadily without worry.

 

After developing covertly to success, then using a major strike to eliminate these Tribes would not be too late.

 

“As long as I can obtain useful information, I don’t care about the methods.” Yan Hua waved her hand.

 

“It seems we’ve been away from the Tribe for fifteen days already? To think we’ve been gone for this long.” Sha Lan remarked.

 

Sha Lan missed the Flame Dragon Tribe. This was the first time she had been away from the Tribe for so long since returning.

 

Previously, she would only leave for a few days before returning again. Now, having been away for half a month, she naturally felt very nostalgic.

 

“Yes, we can return to the Tribe tomorrow. I really miss the Yong’an Building.” Yan Hua stretched her body.

 

Although dealing with those Tribes had not consumed much of her energy, sleeping outdoors every day was still somewhat draining.

 

What truly consumed her energy was the constant travelling and the sleep. Dealing with Tribes had been relatively easy.

 

With recurve bows and the explosive packages inside the hot air balloons, those Tribes were simply fish on a chopping board.

 

“We’ve been away so long, I wonder what the Tribe has become.” Sha Lan remarked.

 

Sha Lan was very curious. After all, the Flame Dragon Tribe developed so rapidly that if one were not paying attention, it would transform into something entirely different.

 

“Calculating the time, there should be about forty-plus days until the rainy season arrives. The Tribe is probably now preparing to store food.” Yan Hua speculated.

 

“The Shaman should be quite looking forward to the power these Shaman Bone Tablets can unleash.” Sha Lan looked at the Shaman Bone Tablets in the corner of the hot air balloon.

 

These Shaman Bone Tablets had all been seized from those Tribes. All useful items from those Tribes had been taken away.

 

Of course, the only useful items were these Shaman Bone Tablets. Sha Lans looked down upon their weapons and such.

 

However, some food could be taken. Besides these two types of items, there wasn’t much else worth taking.

 

“These Shaman Bone Tablets look so worn and tattered. I wonder what abilities they have.” Yan Hua wondered curiously.

 

Yan Hua had several times, driven by curiosity, wanted to test the power of these Shaman Bone Tablets.

 

However, Sha Lan had stopped her every time. These Shaman Bone Tablets definitely needed to be shown to the Shaman before use.

 

“I hope this mission of ours can help the Tribe’s development.” Sha Lan suddenly remarked.

 

Sha Lan truly couldn’t believe the Flame Dragon Tribe’s current development. It was simply like being in a dream.

 

Several times during moments of happiness, Sha Lan would question whether she was still immersed in a dream.

 

Because after witnessing so many Tribes, not one Tribe resembled what the Flame Dragon Tribe had become.

 

In every aspect, it simply crushed other Tribes by several streets. It was like a cheat-like existence.

 

“Since the Shaman dispatched us to execute this mission, this mission must be very important to the Tribe.” Yan Hua spoke earnestly.

 

Yan Hua now brimmed with a sense of mission, feeling she must properly protect the Tribe.

 

“I feel the Dark Scorpion Tribe cannot possibly be defeated this easily.” Ye Jiu suddenly spoke coldly.

 

She had originally been standing beside the Two Tailed Grey Wolf, looking solemnly at the scenery below.

 

However, hearing Sha Lans discussing the Dark Scorpion Tribe, she could not help but want to participate in the discussion.

 

“Yes, this whole war will take time. Since the Dark Scorpion Tribe can tame so many Tribes to belong to them, it demonstrates their Strength is formidable.” Sha Lan was also very solemn.

 

Although the Flame Dragon Tribe’s current development was quite good, many times better than other Tribes, Sha Lan still worried greatly about the Dark Scorpion Tribe. Based on their opponent’s strength and size, they were certainly a formidable adversary.

 

“No matter how difficult the opponent is, I will definitely protect the Flame Dragon Tribe!” Yan Hua shouted with surging passion.

 

This mission’s success had greatly boosted Yan Hua’s confidence. She had developed a determination to become much stronger.

 

“I only hope our mission this time makes them retreat!” Ye Jiu blinked her grey eyes.

 

“In any case, let’s return to the Tribe first.” Sha Lan swished her cat tail.
