Of course, besides making it easier for themselves to run faster by abandoning so much food, another important reason was that the leader of the Sheep Tribe hoped that these terrifying-looking people, upon seeing so much food, would stop chasing them.
The Sheep Tribe leader’s emergency plan was indeed clever, but things didn’t unfold as he had expected.
The people of the semi-farming tribe, riding their livestock, charged swiftly forward. Seeing all the sheep abandoned by the Sheep Tribe, they were filled with wild joy.
They initially thought they would have to fight to seize prey from the Sheep Tribe leader, but they never expected that this tribe, which could catch so much game, would be so cowardly, running away at first sight.
Some of the semi-farming tribe members who rushed over controlled their livestock to slow down and stop. Without waiting for their animals to settle, they eagerly jumped off their mounts and quickly went to gather the sheep.
The semi-farming tribe leader also wanted to dismount, but upon seeing the sheep dragged and scattered far along the ground, and then the few Sheep Tribe members fleeing in panic, he suddenly changed his mind.
He slapped the livestock heavily, then shouted, commanding his people to chase after the fleeing Sheep Tribe.
He had a strange feeling about this tribe and wanted to catch them. As for what to do after catching them, he had not yet made a decision.
Therefore, although almost everyone wanted to stop and gather the abundant prey, upon hearing the leader’s command, those who had not yet dismounted obeyed, slapped their livestock, and ran after the leader.
The livestock galloped swiftly, trampling the grass and quickly closing the distance with the fleeing Sheep Tribe members…
The exhausted Sheep Tribe leader was filled with despair, but at moments , his mind became sharper than before.
Can’t run back to the tribe, can’t run back to the tribe!
There were many minors in the tribe, and all the things he had painstakingly prepared with his people over such a long time.
If these terrifying demons learned the location of his tribe, then it would be completely over for them!
They could not defeat these dreadful demons, let alone the weaker people left behind in the tribe.
Perhaps only that rich and powerful tribe could kill these terrifying demons!
As he ran hard, the Sheep Tribe leader suddenly recalled a scene from long ago, when he hid in the grass and saw the Bone Tribe attacking the Green Sparrow Tribe.
That unforgettable scene!
“#￥%…Green Sparrow Tribe!”
Just after this thought, the Sheep Tribe leader shouted.
While shouting, he changed direction and ran toward the Green Sparrow Tribe.
Some who heard him also changed course while running, heading toward the Green Sparrow Tribe.
But to the Sheep Tribe leader’s despair, during this run, the tribe members scattered. Those nearby heard his call and changed direction, but the faster runners continued sprinting straight toward their tribe, not looking back.
The tribe is finished!
The Sheep Tribe leader was filled with hopelessness.
In despair, he ran faster.
Perhaps if he could reach the wealthy and strong Green Sparrow Tribe earlier and ask them for help, it might still be in time.
But no matter how fast he ran, he could not outrun the four-legged creatures.
The Sheep Tribe members had worked hard hunting these sheep over the past few days, enduring harsh conditions, and carrying their prey — they were already exhausted.
The riders of the semi-nomadic tribe soon caught those running west.
The last one caught was the Sheep Tribe leader, who had unleashed his potential.
As the semi-farming tribe leader approached, he pulled the reins of his livestock to slow it down a bit, then jumped off and charged straight at the Sheep Tribe leader.
This individual spent most of his time riding livestock, so his stamina was well-preserved. He caught up with the Sheep Tribe leader in just a few strides.
The Sheep Tribe leader, intent on quickly reaching the Green Sparrow Tribe to send a message, suddenly turned around and saw the semi-farming tribe leader running toward him on foot.
This guy didn’t have four legs but was just like a normal person!
This discovery immediately gave the Sheep Tribe leader courage.
Seeing the semi-farming tribe leader already at his side, unable to run away anymore, he suddenly stopped, shouted, and was the first to strike.
The semi-farming tribe leader was not afraid at all. He met the attack head-on, and the two struggled. Shortly after, the outcome was decided.
The panting Sheep Tribe leader was pinned to the ground by the semi-farming tribe leader and couldn’t move.
The Sheep Tribe leader struggled desperately to escape but had no strength left.
Apart from taking several hard punches, the struggles brought no benefit.
Realizing he could not break free for now, the Sheep Tribe leader stopped struggling.
He panted, bloodshot eyes fixed on the south—the direction of their tribe.
He was extremely worried that those damned tribesmen would lead these people straight to their tribe.
If that happened, the tribe would truly be finished!
From afar came panicked shouts. Not long after, the semi-farming tribe people appeared, leading livestock and escorting captured Sheep Tribe members.
Seeing all these people caught, the Sheep Tribe leader no longer felt worried; on the contrary, he felt a sense of joy.
As long as these foolish fools were caught, these evil people would no longer discover the location of his tribe’s cave.
Watching these excited people dismount, eyeing his group and the lambs, the Sheep Tribe leader’s worry and anger were mixed with intense regret.
If he had known these guys were only riding these animals and didn’t have four legs, he would never have ordered his people to run away at once…
While the Sheep Tribe leader’s mind was filled with complicated thoughts, the semi-farming tribe leader finally fully understood why they needed to capture these people.
