Chapter 1548A. Ascetic
The Golden Crow Tribe’s Golden Crow was dead.
There were two different ‘golden crows’ that this sentence referred to.
It was no big deal that the half human barbarian Golden Crow had died. He was not very well-liked in the tribe anyway.
However, the other golden crow was different!
The reason why the Golden Crow Tribe was strong and powerful was because their warriors were born to control Sunfire. The key to controlling this lay in the tribe’s Golden Crow Totem.
Even though there was more than one golden crow, there could only be one kingpin, and only the kingpin was qualified to become a tribal totem.
And the person who was the tribal totem was the one who had been swallowed by Rourou.
When the bead was put into her mouth, the totem of the Golden Crow Tribe turned into ashes with one last miserable howl.
The entire Golden Crow Tribe fell into turmoil and a monstrous killing intent erupted.
The Golden Crow Totem could only be inherited in an orderly manner. Until the death of the previous totem, they had to reproduce to pass on their pure blood to the next king.
By killing the current Golden Crow Totem, the inheritance was cut off! In any case, they had to seize back Golden Crow’s bloodline at all costs.
It was not difficult to pinpoint who the murderer was. Just when the Golden Crow Tribe was ready to rush out and carry out their bloody revenge killings, a bare-footed guest arrived and waited outside their tribe.
There was a hideous scar on the top of his head, but it did not distract from the warm aura in his eyes.
“Greetings, Lord Ascetic!”
The tribe’s door opened and the Golden Crow’s tribe leader was on the ground, giving a display of the most respectful etiquette as he invited Lord Ascetic to enter the Golden Tribe’s residence.
……
At the Imperial Clan’s smuggling team’s camp.
The members of the Golden Crow Tribe had already dragged away Golden Crow’s body and left hurriedly.
The burning aura that filled the air previously had mostly dissipated, but the tense atmosphere that enveloped the camp did not. Instead, it became more and more tense.
Golden Crow had died.
And the golden crow had been eaten.
Either way, it was going to cause big trouble!
The Golden Crow Tribe was one of the strongest tribes in the Barbarian Clan, with more than 100,000 soldiers under its command.
No matter how strong General Jinwu was or how amazing his methods were, no one thought that he would be able to resist the Golden Crow Tribe’s vengeance.
Since they were deep into barbarian territory, the fate of their team seemed to be rather predictable. One by one, they looked in the direction of the two big trees. Their gazes were filled with anxiety, fear, and also a bit of anticipation.
It would be a lie to say that they harbored no resentment in their hearts. But as mentioned before, even though Qin Yu was no god, his show of power was very effective.
After seeing the means by which General Jinwu had suppressed the members of the Golden Crow Tribe, these smugglers were all filled with awe and respect for him.
Even if they were unhappy, they kept it in their heart and did not dare to show it in the slightest.
In the treehouse that everyone was looking at, Qin Yu looked at Rourou who was opposite him and could not help but raise his hands to rub his temples. “So, you really ate it, the Golden Crow from the Golden Crow Tribe?”
Rourou nodded. “It delivered itself to me, I’m not the one who provoked it.” As she spoke, she blinked her eyes innocently. “Qin Yu, you witnessed it yourself; it was that Golden Crow who spat fire at me first, you can testify to that.”
Qin Yu almost choked to death.
Let’s not mention the golden crow spitting fire. It was trying to escape, albeit a little slow, and he was caught and eaten by you. Even if it provoked you first, what’s the use of me testifying? Do you think the Golden Crow Tribe will believe what I say?!
Taking a deep breath, Qin Yu looked at her and said, “You will take the responsibility for this.” All these things happened because of Rourou, so she had to bear the consequences.
Rourou nodded, her face looking relaxed. “Sure, I’ll definitely take responsibility for this. If the Golden Crow Tribe is unhappy, they can just come and find me directly.”
Qin Yu laughed bitterly to himself.
Unlike everyone in the camp, his thoughts were different. He was not worried about retaliation from the Golden Crow Tribe at all.
On the contrary, he was worried about the safety of the Golden Crow Tribe.
Seeing how Rourou looked like she did not care, it seemed that in her heart, she was wishing for the Golden Crow Tribe to come and visit them sooner.
Then, she would have an excuse to have a good meal.
“Stop. Hold all your thoughts. You can’t touch the Golden Crow Tribe,” Qin Yu warned her seriously. “Unless, you are ready to give up this identity and leave early.”
Opposite him, Rourou thought for a while before picking up chicken overlord and holding him in her arms, rubbing him.
She pouted, looking extremely dissatisfied.
She understood Qin Yu’s warning. Now, Rourou’s identity was just a girl from the Demon Sect.
The methods that she showed just now were already very shocking. If she wiped out the entire Golden Crow Tribe, wouldn’t it make it clear to everyone that she was hiding some very big secrets about her identity?
West Desolate cultivators were not blind or deaf. They would definitely have some kind of reaction to this. When that happened, her vacation would have to end early.
In her pair of white and tender hands, chicken overlord who had been kneaded into eighty different postures plastered an innocent and teary look on his face, thinking, ‘I didn’t even do anything, why am I being dragged into this?’
Qin Yu said, “It’s good that you understand. So, I will handle all the upcoming matters.” Speaking of this, he could not help but rub his temples again.
He said he was going to handle it, but in fact, Qin Yu had not thought about what he was going to do at all.
Such a big thing happened, so the Golden Crow Tribe was definitely not going to sit by and do nothing. He would make a judgment based on the situation when they arrived to take their revenge.
This would very likely be the first time that the new Barbarian King initiated contact with his followers.
But Qin Yu was not sure what the consequences of doing this would be.
The great barbarian shaman, Lost, from the underground mine was the best example of this. Not everyone in the Barbarian Clan wished for the new Barbarian King to show up. If something went wrong and Qin Yu’s identity was revealed, perhaps the next thing that he would need to do was to flee to the other end of the world.
Of course, with Rourou’s presence, there was still a certain guarantee of safety, but all his painstaking efforts that went into creating his General Jinwu persona would disappear.
This was bound to inflict a fatal blow to Qin Yu’s plan, which was to use West Desolate to fight against that clan.
The consequences were serious, so he had to be prudent about this.
After giving Rourou a few more warnings to remind her not to cause any more trouble, Qin Yu got up and left. His ‘eating and drinking’ sessions also had to be temporarily suspended.
As soon as he landed on the ground, Qin Yu turned his head and glanced at the treehouse, frowning slightly, and immediately returned to calmness. The mysterious being from space time would never cause trouble for no reason.
There must be a reason for Rourou to eat the golden crow. It was definitely not as simple as what she said…that she was just too hungry recently.
Therefore, Qin Yu did not stop her and only chose to silently accept what she was doing.
Thinking about how Rourou had been in a state of drowsiness and sleep for a long time since the treehouse was built, a glint of light flashed across Qin Yu’s eyes.
If it was really what he was thinking of, then, even though swallowing the golden crow would cause a lot of trouble, it was still worthwhile.
Just when Qin Yu was silently pondering, a ‘pu-tong’ sound came from in front of him. Zhou Dafu, who was missing a few teeth, knelt on the ground. He started to speak incomprehensibly, “General, it’s my fault. It’s all my fault. If you want to punish someone, or kill someone, I won’t fault you for that, but we really can’t stay here any longer!”
Qin Yu frowned as he looked at Zhou Dafu.
