Chapter 279: Claw Clan Assassins
The group of Claw Tribe people had naturally discovered the herd of horses a long time ago, but they did not walk away. Instead, they moved closer step by step, as if they were afraid of scaring the horses.
As I approached, I saw that these people had slightly pointed nostrils and very short nose bridges, a big, thick and wide mouth, and thin, dry hands like claws. They were indeed some Claw Clan assassins, and I didn't know why they appeared here and were heading south.
Chu Xiaomu took a closer look and saw that these Claw people either had their clothes burnt or had blood on their faces and chests, and were coughing as they walked; or had bandages wrapped around their legs and hands, and were limping as they walked. It turned out that many of them were injured.
Walking in the front and in the middle was a tall and strong Claw Clan assassin. His face looked like a snake, his eyes were like a wolf, and there was a particularly conspicuous slanting scar on his lips. His claws were black in color, occasionally flashing in the sun, which made him look extremely scary. There was a long blood scar from his left shoulder to his right waist. He was obviously injured, but he was not wrapped in cloth like the other Claw Clan members. Judging from his momentum, he seemed to be the leader of this group of Claw Clan assassins.
Although Chu Xiaomu was not very clear about the art of cultivating weapons, he could guess that the level of cultivation he had reached was much higher than that of the others, as the claws of this person were very different from those of the others. He thought to himself that it was fortunate that he did not rush to attack this group of people, otherwise, even if these people were injured, he would not necessarily win, and even if he won, the losses would definitely be huge.
The Claw Tribe thorns slowly approached the herd of horses, spreading out in a semicircle, and when they were only a few feet away from the horses on the outside, they suddenly started chirping and waving their claws to drive the horses away. Chu Xiaomu and his companions then realized that this group of Claw Tribe thorns wanted to prey on the horses.
The nine little zebras were at the outermost edge of the herd at this time, running and jumping, sometimes nibbling on the wild grass, sometimes chasing and playing with each other, completely unaware that danger was approaching.
I only heard the tall black-clawed thorn disciple shouting, "The journey back to the territory is still long, everyone should catch more."
A skinny assassin shouted, "We have been hungry for almost two days. The assassin has indeed received the auspicious light from the God King. With these wild horses, we don't have to starve anymore. Come on, everyone!"
After hearing this, the assassins suddenly surrounded the two sides and pounced on the dozens of horses at the outermost edge.
The horses were frightened and they all crowded inside. However, there were already many horses inside and they moved slowly, so the crowding made them move even slower.
The nine little zebras had no fear at all and continued to chase and bite each other, thinking that those strange-looking people outside were playing with them.
Chu Xiaomu and the others were extremely anxious, and they kept shouting in their hearts: "Run, run farther!"
The black-clawed assassin shouted, "Catch these ponies first; their meat is more tender and delicious." The other assassins shouted in surprise, stretched out their claws, and gathered around the ponies.
The nine little dragon zebras were extremely agile. They dodged left and right in the circle formed by the Claw Clan's assassins. When they were approached and pursued, they quickly ran away. After avoiding the attacks, they lowered their heads and ate a few mouthfuls of grass as if nothing had happened. Their round eyes looked around, and their silly and stupid appearance made the nine members of the herdsmen team so angry that they jumped to their feet, but they did not dare to shout out.
Fortunately, most of these claw tribe thorn disciples were injured, their legs, hands and claws were not very flexible, and their speed was far less than that of these little dragon zebras. For a while, they didn't even touch a horse hair, but were tired and panting, and those with wounds were screaming. The black claw thorn disciple just stood outside the circle and didn't attack with the other thorn disciples. His momentum made everyone dare not show up.
The dragon zebra also failed to break out of their encirclement. As the encirclement shrank, it was only a matter of time before it was caught by the claw tribe's assassins. Chu Xiaomu and his companions became more and more anxious.
Seeing that his men had not succeeded for a long time, the Black Claw Assassin began to get impatient and shouted, "Everyone watch and learn from me!" He suddenly jumped out and stretched out his claws to grab the neck of a wild horse next to him at an incredibly fast speed.
The wild horse's neck was bleeding, and it neighed loudly and jumped up. The black claw stabber's claws dug deep into the flesh and did not pull out, still holding the wild horse's neck tightly. Although the wild horse jumped hard, it could not escape the stabber's grip.
Everyone looked at each other in shock. The wild horse was a strong adult horse, with the strength of 10 or 20 men, and was very sturdy. But when the black claw thorn disciple grabbed it, it was like its neck was nailed to a wall, and it couldn't break free. It was obvious that the man was not an ordinary claw tribe thorn disciple.
All the Claw Clan assassins cheered loudly, and the skinny assassin said loudly: "Li Ji Ci Luke has boundless spiritual power, and he will show his power today!" It turned out that this assassin also knew how to flatter.
When Chu Xiaomu heard the words "Li Ji Ci Lu Ke", he suddenly remembered what the two assassins who were killed in the Nanding camp said - "The leader Li Ji Ci Lu Ke was a little too aggressive this time", "Yes, I heard that the two brothers Li Ji Ci Lu Ke attacked him and injured him at that time", and he was immediately shocked. It turned out that this black claw assassin was the main general who led the army to attack Hu Mu Pass and Nanding camp, and it was he who injured Zhou Bo, the central army. But why did this person appear here, and he was injured? Could it be...
Before Chu Xiaomu had time to think about it, he heard Li Ji say: "How can you call it 'displaying your power' just because you killed a horse? If you can fight with Bi Ye here, that would be called displaying your power." Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but feel angry. He thought, you even needed your brothers' help in the battle against Zhou Zhongjun, and with such a tiny ability, you are worthy of fighting against the general?
The skinny assassin said, "When you recover from your injury, we will gather the assassins again. The Spirit King will let you lead the army back to Bicheng. Then we can capture the guy who attacked our camp alive. No, we should capture their Spirit King Biye alive!"
Li Ji laughed loudly and said, "It is our Spirit King's job to capture Bi Ye alive. What I should do next is to capture that kid surnamed Yang. You know what, this kid surnamed Yang is quite capable. He is even more powerful than that Zhongjun named Zhou Bo. I don't even know his name."
The skinny assassin said, "The Cangmu people are only good at playing tricks, but no one expected them to burn our camp with kerosene this time. You were too anxious and didn't show your true abilities. If we talk about real abilities, that guy named Yang is definitely not your opponent."
Hearing this, Chu Xiaomu no longer had any doubts. It seemed that the camp of the Claw Tribe had been breached by the Green City Cavalry led by Yang Luo, and the general Li Ji fled here in a panic, obviously having suffered a great defeat. As for why they fled to the east side of Lange Mountain, it was estimated that there were Green City pursuers on the west side, and these assassins had no choice but to flee east first, and then find a way back south.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
