*Whoosh, whoosh…* After leaving the Black Snake Tribe, Cheng Shi flapped his slender black wings and flew back to Su Bai.
When he left, it was not smooth sailing. Twice, he was about to take off when Totem Warriors passed by.
Ten minutes later, Cheng Shi landed on the ground and ran straight to the simple Teepee, catching his breath as he said, “Shaman, the message has been delivered.”
“Did something go wrong along the way? You were gone for so long.” Su Bai asked, because the boy had indeed been gone for quite a while. It had been a full hour, so it was inevitable to worry if something had gone wrong. After all, he was still young, unlike Shu Feng who was cautious and reliable. Since he was still a bit playful, Su Bai naturally had some concerns.
Cheng Shi shook his head, patted the dirt off his wings, and said, “I’ve told them everything the Shaman had told me to. They said we could start to attack as soon as I return.”
“Great.” Su Bai nodded, then turned to Yan Jiao and declared, “Chieftain, it time. Tell them to prepare.”
“Yes!” Yan Jiao’s deep voice sounded. At first, he was also confused as to why they should attack at night. However, after listening to the Shaman’s thoughts in detail, he immediately changed his mind.
Su Bai had told him that attacking at night would greatly increase their chances of victory, and it would also catch the enemy off guard. If they attacked during the day, the enemy would have plenty of time to prepare, and they would have Shaman Bone Tablets at the ready.
Attacking at night was different. Many people would still be sound asleep, and if an attack was launched, they would be in complete chaos.
*Thud, thud, thud…* The Totem Warriors brought the catapults to the direction near the Black Snake Tribe, but did not push them out. They had to wait until the people of the Black Snake Tribe started to panic before they would launch the Animal Hides soaked in Kerosene Fruit Juice.
“Shu Feng, you take Cheng Shi and Ai’er and act according to the plan. Show the results of your usual training.” Su Bai ordered.
“Understood!” Shu Feng nodded and set off with the boy and the butterfly girl.
Their task was to shoot and kill the Totem Warriors at the main gate, and then let the slaves escape from the Black Snake Tribe.
Shu Feng led the two, flying high in the sky, and arrived at the main gate of the Black Snake Tribe under the bright moonlight. He scanned the surroundings and solemnly declared, “Whether we can reclaim our Ancestral Land depends on how accurately you can shoot this time.”
“Don’t worry, Brother Shu Feng, I will definitely show the results of my training.” Cheng Shi grinned.
Ai’er took out her longbow and nocked an arrow, showing her canine as she said, “Our Leaders will see the results of our training.”
Although the two had many tasks to do and did not have much time to train, they were still skilled with the longbow.
Shu Feng showed a slight smile as he said, “Alright. I have faith in the two of you.”
Cheng Shi also took out his longbow and aimed at the direction of the gate, saying, “I’ll take care of the four near the gate.”
“Then I’ll take care of the two behind the gate.” Ai’er aimed at the two behind the gate.
Shu Feng flapped his wings and added, “En, let’s deal with all of them, together.”
*Whoosh, whoosh…*
“Ahh, ahh…”
The patrolling Totem Warriors at the gate were taken down by Shu Feng and the others in no time. Their actions of drawing arrows, nocking, shooting, and hitting the enemy were all smooth and fluid.
The series of actions were done without any hesitation. Those patrolling Totem Warriors had not even reacted before their heads were hit by arrows and they fell.
Shu Feng kept scanning the surroundings to see if there were any stragglers outside the Tribe.
Since it was late at night, there were not that many people patrolling the Tribe, just a few Totem Warriors at the gate and the outskirts of the Tribe. Most of them were just Warrior Trainees on patrol. The reaction speed of Warrior Trainees was nowhere near as good as Totem Warriors, and they were shot down in no time.
“There are still Warrior Trainees. We must not let any of them escape.” Shu Feng ordered.
“Don’t worry, no one will get away!” Cheng Shi said, closing one eye and continuously aiming at the ground.
Ai’er flapped her butterfly wings, moved to another part of the sky, and fired three arrows in quick succession. She easily shot down those who were slacking off or sleeping.
Everyone was extremely accurate with their shots, and there were not many people patrolling. Those on patrol did not even have time to shout before the arrows sealed their words permanently in their throats.
Shu Feng blinked his brown eyes, carefully observing the ground, and said, “Have you two found anything?”
He was right at the main gate, and within his line of sight, he could not see anyone else.
“There’s no one left on my side.” Cheng Shi was on the left side of the gate.
“None on my side either,” Ai’er was on the right.
Since the main gate of the Black Snake Tribe was far from the wooden houses, where most of the Tribesmen lived, there were not many people patrolling the outskirts.
The people patrolling the outskirts of the Tribe had already been dealt with, shot down by Cheng Shi and the others.
Shu Feng and the other two slowly landed on the ground. At this moment, the wooden gate of the Black Snake Tribe had been opened.
*Creak!*
*Thud, thud, thud…*
As soon as the row of wooden gates opened, a crowd of people rushed out from inside. Leading them were Da Shan, Huang Ye, and Ah Hu, with the others following closely behind.
“Everyone, quickly escape! Run to the forest! There will be people there to help us!” Da Shan loudly shouted.
“We must quickly escape, being caught and taken back means certain death!” Ah Hu echoed.
Huang Ye was looking back every few steps, afraid that someone might catch up from behind. He panted as he added, “Three meals a day is waiting for us!”
“Meat! Meat!” All the slaves were shouting, each face filled with smiles as they excitedly ran.
Some were so excited that the leaf around their bodies fell off. However, at this point, they had no time to care. The only thing on their mind was escaping from the Black Snake Tribe.
“Oh my goodness,” Ai’er was scared and immediately ran to one side. The slaves’ running had kicked up large clouds of dust.
*Cough, cough, cough…* Cheng Shi reached out to cover his eyes, choked by the dust. After a moment, he comments, “It is great that the slaves have all gotten out.”
Shu Feng flapped his wings and said, “You two stay here, I’ll go back to report to the Shaman.”
“Yes,” Cheng Shi and Ai’er nodded.
*Whoosh, whoosh…* Ai’er looked up at the black dot moving away in the sky and excitedly said, “We’ll be able to return to our Ancestral Land soon, right?”
“Of course. Once the slaves are out, the Shaman’s plan can smoothly proceed.” Cheng Shi grinned.
“Now, we just wait for the Black Snake Tribe to discover what had happened. As soon as they take action, we’ll be able to reclaim our Ancestral Land.” Ai’er smiled.
The slaves all rushed out of the Black Snake Tribe in a flurry, leaving only clouds of dust flying in the air.
