The Incense Burns Out, Seven Traitors
"Finally, a coward has appeared, and the choice he made was the most humiliating and disloyal third option!"
Du Bai narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself.
Every group has its strongmen and its cowards.
Even among eagles, there are fledglings who, fearing the heights, fall to their deaths.
Not to mention the Strength Clan.
It's human nature to be afraid of death, which is understandable. However, this person not only fears death but also betrays his clan, so his end will definitely be tragic.
When the members of the Strength Clan shouted at Du Bai, they quickly walked towards him, and some even ran towards him.
Because, beside the tribesman who chose the third option, many loyal tribesmen were glaring at him angrily.
Some of his clansmen even recognized the coward and angrily cursed him.
"Taizheng, I never expected you to be such a coward. I, Taimo, despise you and I'm severing ties with you!"
A member of the Strength Clan angrily cursed at Taizheng.
Not only was Taimo cursing Taizheng, but several members of the Strength Clan were also cursing at Taizheng.
"Taizheng, you spineless coward! I misjudged you before. I never thought you were so weak!"
"Useless thing, it's one thing to be afraid of death, but to actually be so rebellious as to make a third choice? You really have the nerve to stab the family heads in the back?"
"You bastard, I'll kill you!"
"."
Many members of the Strength Clan cursed angrily, and some even stepped forward to stop Taizheng.
However, Taizheng had already anticipated this, and at this moment, he was already faster and had arrived in front of Du Bai.
"Save me! I need to make a third choice!"
Na Taizheng said respectfully to Du Bai.
"Step back to my side."
Du Bai spoke calmly.
Then, Du Bai used his dash skill to knock away the clansmen who were trying to stop Taizheng.
After finishing, Du Bai came to Taizheng's side.
"I'll make the third option!"
Na Taizheng spoke to Du Bai again, repeating what he had said.
"I understand. You wait until this incense stick burns out, then I will let you complete the choice."
Du Bai spoke calmly.
"OK."
Taizheng responded somewhat timidly.
After setting Taizheng aside, Du Bai addressed the crowd of people again:
"This incense is almost completely burned out. If you don't want to die, make your choice now!"
As Du Bai spoke to the crowd, his eyes darted around, observing their expressions.
Sure enough, soon, several more members of the Strength Clan stepped forward.
"I, Taiqiang, will be the first choice."
A clansman named Taiqiang spoke to Du Bai ran towards him.
If they didn't run towards Du Bai, and were too slow, they might be intercepted and killed by some of the more hot-blooded clansmen nearby.
Therefore, Taiqiang dared not be negligent.
After running to a safe distance, Taiqiang bowed to the people of his tribe, looking very sorrowful.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I don't want to die, I still have lovely children to raise."
"No, I can't die, I love my wife and children."
Taiqiang apologized to the tribespeople, tearfully recounting his suffering.
Upon hearing what Taiqiang said, the clansmen were all taken aback.
It's understandable for a grown man to shed tears for his wife and children.
Perhaps Taiqiang is not a good member of the clan, but he is definitely a responsible man when it comes to his family.
The number of voices criticizing Taiqiang decreased significantly.
Taiqiang made the first choice: he knelt and kowtowed three times and called Du Bai" father" six times.
The first option was a bit humiliating, but there was no third option, as it would be treasonous to stab the patriarch twice.
Therefore, many clansmen expressed their understanding of Taiqiang and stopped verbally condemning and attacking him.
Besides Taiqiang, four other clansmen made their choices and ran towards Du Bai.
These four clansmen are Tainai, Taizi, Taihen, Tairuan.
Tainai: "I'm making a third choice."
Taizi: "I'll make the third choice!"
Taihen, "I'll make my second choice!"
Tairuan: "I'm making a third choice!"
The four members of the Strength Clan shouted to Du Bai.
After saying that, Tainai, Taizi, Taihen, and Tairuan ran towards Du Bai from different directions.
On the way, members of the Strength Clan tried to intercept and kill them.
But Du Bai stopped them all.
And so, Tainai, Taizi, Taihen, Tairuan came to Du Bai's side.
With the addition of Taizheng, who made the third choice, and Taiqiang, who made the first choice, six clansmen made their choices in an instant.
At this moment, the six clansmen who had made their choice stood behind Du Bai.
Taiqiang, who made the first choice, stood alone in a row.
Taihen made the second choice, stood alone in a row.
The four who made the third choice— Tainai, Taizi, Taizheng, and Tairuan— stood in a row.
They obediently waited behind Du Bai.
Du Bai continued to look around at everyone and then addressed them:
"Does anyone still want to survive?"
"This incense stick is almost burned out. If you don't want to die, hurry up and get on!"
Du Bai addressed the crowd in a deep voice.
A moment after Du Bai finished speaking, a figure stepped forward.
By this time, the incense stick had almost burned out, and the clansman, timing it perfectly, made his final choice.
"I'm Taixiao, so I'll make a third choice."
As Taixiao shouted, he ran towards Du Bai.
Du Bai observed Taixiao's expression; he was the one among those who had made the third choice who did not show any ruthlessness on his face.
Just like Taixiao's name, Du Bai felt that Taixiao was weak and timid.
Taixiao originally intended to make the first choice: to kneel and kowtow three times to survive.
But when he arrived, only three of his clansmen had chosen the third option, making a total of four including him.
Although Taixiao couldn't get the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, the four of them split five million Gold Soul Coin, so Taixiao alone would get as many as one million two hundred and fifty thousand Gold Soul Coin.
This made Taixiao tempted; 1.25 million Gold Soul Coin were equivalent to at least five years' income for the Strength Clan.
He could get 1.25 million Gold Soul Coin by Taixiao, which made him very tempted and willing to take the risk.
Anyway, if I don't make a choice, I might not survive in the end, so I might as well be selfish and take a gamble.
"I apologize, family heads of the Thai family."
Taixiao silently apologized in his heart, but he did not regret the choice he had made.
By this time, the incense stick had burned out completely, and a total of seven people, including Taixiao, had made their choices.
However, Du Bai did not stop there; he continued to screen cowards and traitors.
Looking around, Du Bai said, "I'll count to three and give you all one last chance!"
"If anyone still wants to live, make a choice within three calls and stand behind me. I will protect you!"
Du Bai gave this last chance to see if any members of the Strength Clan would choose to betray him in a critical moment.
At the right moment, Du Bai began to count.
"Three!"
"."
"Two!"
