309 Lion People Tribe, Captured Humans! (2)
Under the shocking change, Iron Axe and Wang Zhen immediately activated their respective abilities. Then, they held their axes and began to slash at the huge net that had already begun to shrink.
However, the strange thing was that these extremely weak nets seemed to be invulnerable.
Their axes were useless against this.
“Big Brother, use the index!”
“Index!”
Zhou Wenjie, who had escaped, looked at the two of them who were still struggling and hurriedly raised his left hand, indicating for them to use the escape function of the Beast Taming Index.
The two of them gritted their teeth and were about to press the button on the index when they saw an extremely strange scene.
A “person” with golden fur on his neck and a scar that ran from the corner of his eye to his chin suddenly appeared beside Zhou Wenjie like a ghost.
At this moment, Zhou Wenjie did not notice at all.
“Run!”
As soon as Wang Zhen finished speaking, Zhou Wenjie felt a warm aura coming from the main artery on his neck.
“!!!”
Just as Zhou Wenjie was about to press the button on the Beast Taming Index, the “weird person” gently stabbed a small knife into his left hand. At the same time, ten extremely sharp claws directly popped out of its furry claws and entered Zhou Wenjie’s back.
“Uh…”
Just as he raised the ability in his body and was about to escape, Zhou Wenjie slowly collapsed on the grass.
However, he was not dead.
Although his breathing was relatively weak, it had stabilized.
However, Iron Axe and Wang Zhen in the net did not see this scene.
They only saw Zhou Wenjie being killed by the monster that looked like a lion man.
“Ahhh!”
“I’ll f*cking kill you!”
Seeing Zhou Wenjie fall, Iron Axe’s eyes turned red!
Veins popped out on the arms that were holding the axes as they slashed at the huge net that was binding them.
The lion man glanced at the two people “trapped” and bent down to carry Zhou Wenjie on his shoulder.
Wang Zhen, who was originally prepared to charge out at all costs, immediately calmed down when he saw that Zhou Wenjie, who was carried on the lion man’s shoulder, seemed to be still breathing slightly.
“Howl!”
At this moment, he discovered that other than the lion man who had ambushed Zhou Wenjie, no less than ten such lion men had already appeared around them.
Moreover, these lion men were riding majestic and mighty lions and rushing towards them.
Clearly, the two of them, or rather, the three of them, had been treated as prey by these lion men.
“Third Brother!”
“Calm down!”
“Wen Jie is not dead yet. Let’s leave this place first!”
Hearing Wang Zhen say that Zhou Wenjie was not dead, Iron Axe, whose eyes were red, calmed down.
Looking at the quickly approaching lion men, Wang Zhen immediately took out his Beast Taming Card and summoned the Wind Sparrow leader outside the net.
“Go, follow these lion men here!”
“Chirp chirp ~”
After arranging for the leader of the Wind Sparrows, Wang Zhen and Iron Axe pressed the button on the index together.
Their voices directly disappeared when the lion men were less than five meters away from the net.
“Roar?”
The lion man who first arrived looked at the empty net and let out a puzzled roar.
Why did those two strange two-legged prey… suddenly disappear?!
“Roar!”
With its angry roar, the lion men who came with it immediately rode lions and scattered.
Clearly, the lion man felt that his prey should not have run far.
…
…
At the spatial door, Wang Zhen and Iron Axe appeared with lingering fears.
Feeling the violent beating of his heart in his chest, Wang Zhen took a deep breath.
“Big Brother!”
“We have to go back!”
“Wenjie, he…”
Wang Zhen waved his hand.
“I know.”
“However, we can’t walk in blankly like before this time.”
At this point, Wang Zhen patted his head regretfully.
“I should have known!”
“It’s impossible for such a huge grassland to not be dangerous at all!”
After calming down, Wang Zhen sensed the location of the Wind Sparrow leader. After putting away the axe, he directly strode in the same direction as before.
“Let’s go!”
—————————————————-
After marching rapidly for more than twenty minutes, the two of them, who were already feeling a little breathless, hid behind a hill and quietly lay in the grass that was enough to cover them. They looked at a “tribe” at the bottom of the hill about a few hundred meters away.
Or rather, it should be a village.
This place was less than a kilometer away from the place where Wang Zhen and the others had been ambushed previously. However, there were more small hills in this area, so they could not see these buildings at all when they came.
“Are… are they really beasts?”
Holding a pair of binoculars, Iron Axe looked at the city wall made of stones. There were also lion men patrolling on the city wall with longbows on their backs. Inside the city wall was… a thriving scene.
Seeing this scene, Iron Axe felt his worldview collapse.
Wang Zhen was also speechless for a long time.
Being able to farm, harvest, and sell goods by the roadside… If not for the fact that it was a lion man with a lion head and a human body, Wang Zhen would have thought that he had encountered a “human” in the Beast Taming World.
“Although I’m also very surprised, it’s undeniable that they’re definitely beasts.”
“Have you forgotten the taurens and pig-headed people we saw outside the dojo on the academy’s side previously?”
“This time, it’s just that the human has become a lion man.”
Hearing Wang Zhen’s words, Iron Axe opened his mouth and nodded dejectedly.
“But isn’t this a little too big?”
“It feels even bigger than the small town with tens of thousands of people we encountered in the wilderness a few years ago.”
Wang Zhen held the binoculars and looked into the distance of this lionman tribe. His heart kept sinking.
Just as Iron Axe had said,
This place was unbelievably big.
It was much larger than the old district of Jiangzhou City.
Although most of them were one-story buildings, they could not withstand the size of this area.
Moreover, it was not as if there were no tall buildings here.
In the middle of the “tribe” was a stone building nearly ten meters tall.
Looking at the orderly appearance everywhere, Wang Zhen did not know how to sneak in.
He and Iron Axe were both strength-type mutants. Beasts did not have the ability to become invisible.
As for forcing his way in…
Wang Zhen felt that this was a last resort.
Moreover, there was a high chance that he would be buried with Zhou Wenjie.
“Big Brother, what… what should we do?”
Although Iron Axe was brainless, he knew that it was impossible for him to barge in with brute force now.
Wang Zhen gritted his teeth and looked at the distant tribe through the binoculars, feeling very conflicted.
“Why don’t… we go back and get reinforcements? We’ll find Hall Master Lin!”
Hearing Iron Axe’s words, Wang Zhen was tempted for a moment before shaking his head.
“What I’m afraid of is that if, if those lion men…”
Before Wang Zhen could finish, Iron Axe exclaimed.
“Big Brother!”
“Look, look at the door!”
Wang Zhen immediately moved the binoculars to the wide stone door of the lion man tribe.
Then, he saw Zhou Wenjie, whose hands were tied behind his back, being carried out of the door by two lion men.
Seeing this scene, Wang Zhen and Iron Axe could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
At the very least, Zhou Wenjie was still alive.
Although he looked very weak,
However, his legs could still move.
“What are these lion men doing?”
As soon as Iron Axe finished speaking, the actions of the lion men told them what they wanted to do.
After roaring at the door for a while, the two lion men directly tied Zhou Wenjie’s legs.
Then, he tied him to a wooden stake.
After doing this, the lion man refused to give up and roared at the grass outside the stone door.
Even Wang Zhen and the others could hear that voice from hundreds of meters away.
However… they really did not understand what this meant.
