332: Killed a man

With the death of their leader, the Snake Clan members also lost their morale and the courage to resist. In an instant, some died, some fled, and quite a few were captured.

Xu Sanyan emerged from the shadows, looking at the Snake Clan leader lying dead on the ground, and shook his head lightly with a slight sense of pity.

“What a waste.”

“Clean up and prepare to return.” The Clan Chief gave the order and began to move the piled-up mountain of meat.

These were all excellent ingredients and could not be wasted. In this primitive world, food was even more important.

A large part of the reason for the small tribal population was insufficient food. Their food sources were singular and limited; besides hunting, they could only pick some fruits to eat.

Xu Sanyan did not help. He strolled over to the Snake Clan leader’s corpse, squatted down, and used two fingers to pry open her lips, frowning slightly as he looked at the dense, pointed teeth.

“Such a beautiful appearance, how did she grow such a set of teeth?”

“How can this be used?”

“What a waste of this face.”

The tiny, pointed teeth almost reached her upper palate, and her throat was thick, feeling as though a fist could fit inside.

The reason Xu Sanyan opened her lips to check was because Xun An Cai’s mouth was also different from ordinary people; her two canine teeth were much longer than average, making it especially convenient for tearing and eating.

“Are you alright?” Xun An Cai leaned over, asking with concern.

“I’m fine.”

Xu Sanyan shook his head, looking at the ground full of corpses, most of which belonged to the Snake Clan, with a small portion from the Dog Clan, and occasionally a few Three-Headed Dogs also lying motionless.

Xu Sanyan suddenly remembered a question and looked up, asking, “What happens if your dogs die?”

Xun An Cai looked at her Four-Headed Dog, “If it dies, it’s gone. There’s only one companion dog.”

Xu Sanyan nodded slowly. No wonder some people in the tribe never led dogs; that might be the reason.

At this moment, the Clan Chief spoke, “Bring the bodies of our clan members, let’s go.”

“Yes, Clan Chief.”

Xu Sanyan counted. Originally, there were a hundred and some people when they set out, but now only ninety-plus remained, meaning about ten had died, but they had also captured over a dozen prisoners.

Looking at the beautiful faces of the Snake Clan women, Xu Sanyan lightly licked his lips. These women looked more attractive than the Bear Clan women.

“Let’s go.”

Xun An Cai carried two Tuo Beast corpses and also found two cans of fresh milk from the wooden hut, holding them in her arms. “This milk is so delicious, you should try it.”

Last time, Xun An Cai promised to bring him some Tuo Beast milk to taste, but due to a series of events, she hadn’t been able to. Now, she had fulfilled her promise.

Xu Sanyan picked up the can and took a small sip. The milk was fragrant, and upon careful tasting, it was a bit sweet, but more than that, it had a strong Fishy smell (fishy/gamey smell), not as delicious as he had imagined.

This was not Xun An Cai’s fault, as she had never tasted anything truly good. In her understanding, this Tuo Beast milk was the most delicious thing.

“How is it? Is it delicious?” Xun An Cai looked at him with anticipation in her eyes.

“Mhm.” Xu Sanyan nodded, not disappointing her good intentions. “It’s delicious.”

“Hehe, I told you so. When we get back, I’ll give it all to you.” Xun An Cai was very generous; she never had any selfish intentions towards Xu Sanyan.

“Mhm.”

Xu Sanyan did not talk much with her and followed the team on their return journey.

On the way back, the Clan Chief divided everyone into three layers: inner, middle, and outer. The outermost layer was still a large group of dogs patrolling and guarding, the middle layer consisted of Dog Clan members who were not carrying food but were more vigilant, looking towards the dense forest.

The innermost layer consisted of Snake Clan prisoners and some Dog Clan members, who were responsible for carrying the Tuo Beast corpses.

Xu Sanyan was also in the very center, but he did not need to carry anything; he just needed to keep up with the team.

With nothing to do, he looked at the swaying buttocks of the Snake Clan women, and at their torn clothing, revealing large expanses of skin.

Their slender waists that could be grasped with one hand, strong and powerful thighs, plump buttocks, and full breasts.

“How wonderful,”

Xu Sanyan praised in his heart. “Look at this figure, this appearance, and this wildness; it’s simply exciting.”

There were also men among the Snake Clan, but Xu Sanyan glanced at them and then looked away.

“Why not kill all the male prisoners?”

The return journey was different from the trip there. With the Tuo Beast corpses becoming a burden, they had to be careful and cautious. The bloody Qi emitted by the Tuo Beasts could easily attract foraging wild beasts.

After walking for a long time, the sky gradually brightened. The hazy sunlight illuminated the mountains and forests, and the Clan Chief in front stopped.

The Six-Headed Dog lay prostrate on the ground, looking fiercely at the forest ahead. Xu Sanyan immediately became alert. Something was happening!

Rustling sounds came from the forest, and an angry male voice rang out, “Dog Clan members, you have violated your original oath!”

Xu Sanyan habitually narrowed his eyes. Had they encountered Snake Clan reinforcements?

“How could it be so fast?”

Even if many Snake Clan members escaped last night, the journey back and forth was not short, making it impossible to bring reinforcements so quickly.

Xun An Cai, beside him, whispered, “Be careful. It’s probably the Snake Clan’s reception team. Every year after hunting Tuo Beasts, someone comes to meet them and help transport the prey.”

Xu Sanyan understood. “That’s really inconvenient.”

As he pondered, his gaze turned to Xun Yang in front. It seemed there was another opportunity.

“Hmph, why say so much? What will you do?”

Although the Clan Chief knew she was in the wrong, she showed no sign of guilt.

Their three clans had been openly and secretly fighting for many years, barely maintaining a balance. But ever since the Bear Clan was annihilated, this balance was broken.

The Dog Clan had annexed the Bear Clan, successfully digested it, and greatly increased its strength. If they did not take this opportunity to sweep away the Snake Clan, once the other side gained an advantage, they would certainly not let the Dog Clan off.

The Dog Clan Clan Chief’s biggest worry was the Snake Clan attacking the Dog Clan after the Old Clan Leader’s death. But for some reason, they did not do so, which gave the Dog Clan ample time to develop.

Now, the two clans were in a death-or-death situation; a great battle between them was bound to happen sooner or later.

Strike first, suffer later.

She didn't know that saying, but she understood the principle.

Faint movements came from the forest ahead. Xu Sanyan looked up, only to see the dense forest obscuring the view, making it impossible to tell how many people there were.

The man on the other side spoke, “Leave our Snake Clan members and the food, and I will let you go.”

Xu Sanyan lowered his head slightly. It seemed the other party did not have many people, otherwise, there would be no need for idle talk; they would just attack directly.

The Clan Chief was in a dilemma for a moment. Snake Clan members were agile and extremely fast, and this forest was their home ground. It would be impossible to catch them, but she was unwilling to give up the food they had obtained.

The situation now was different from yesterday. Yesterday, the Snake Clan leader stayed to resist because she was reluctant to give up the prey she had worked so hard to catch.

But now the situation had changed, and the Dog Clan Clan Chief was equally reluctant to give up the food she had obtained.

“You can let them go, but I’m taking the prey.” The Clan Chief took a step back.

The man in the shadows sounded even more furious, “No, this is our Snake Clan’s prey!”
