Those Who Oppose Me Shall Die

By noon, the Han Tribe's corral was finished. Luo Chong herded the 12 blue antelopes left in the tribe into the corral and was now holding a sweet root from a Man-eating Tree, trying to lure the baby Dinophants into the shed.

Qu Bing also held a sweet root under a Dinophant's trunk. It snatched it up and ate it in one bite, then extended its trunk again, asking for more.

Qu Bing chuckled, looking up at Luo Chong with his small face and asking, "Chieftain, what are they?"

"They are Dinophants. They have gray skin, two big tusks, and long trunks. Their trunks are as flexible as hands, and they are grass-eating animals." Luo Chong also picked up a root and fed the other Dinophant.

"Oh, do they have names? My name is Qu Bing. What are their names?"

"Uh, well, I haven't named them yet. How about you give them names?" Luo Chong scratched his head. He had difficulty naming things; if he had to think of a serious name, he couldn't come up with one quickly.

"Really? You'll let me name them? Then I'll call this one Rou Rou!" Qu Bing said excitedly, jumping up and down.

Heh, that's a spot-on description. Isn't it just a big lump of meat? Luo Chong's mouth twitched as he muttered in his heart.

"Okay, then we'll call this female one Rou Rou. What about the other male one?" Luo Chong nodded in agreement. Rou Rou, on the other hand, was oblivious, continuing to beg for food, completely unconcerned about its name.

"The other one, let's call it... let's call it Hui Shan, because it's gray and looks like a small mountain, and it's even bigger than Rou Rou," Qu Bing said, patting Hui Shan's thick leg. Hui Shan, however, tilted its head and looked west, suddenly letting out a roar that startled Qu Bing.

Luo Chong also looked west. He saw four blue antelopes dragging the bodies of two companions, running towards Luo Chong. Blood flowed the whole way, leaving a red trail. Several long spears were still stuck in the bodies of the two antelopes. Those weren't from the Han Tribe; the Han Tribe used standard White-shafted Long Spears.

"Were they attacked? Why haven't the lumber team members returned? Are they all dead?"

Luo Chong was shocked. He quickly picked up Qu Bing and ran towards the cave, shouting as he ran, "Enemies! Everyone back to the cave! Get your weapons! Hurry and call all the children back!"

Lame, who was smelting copper near the cave, reacted first. He immediately stood up and yelled about enemies, telling Big Mouth and Monkey to quickly call back the children who were gathering grass.

Luo Chong put Qu Bing down inside the cave, took out his Golden Spear and Bow and Arrow, and brought out all 200-plus arrows from storage.

Less than 3 minutes later, the children returned, holding rakes. The women also arrived at the cave entrance, each taking a long spear. The Elder and Lame also came before Luo Chong, waiting for orders.

Luo Chong looked at the tribesmen gathered before him, took a deep breath, and said, "All the children go into the cave. The Elder will guard the home. The women also go into the cave and seal the entrance. Do not open it until I return.

Lame, you take Big Mouth and the other four to the corral. Drag those two dead antelopes in there too, and guard that place. No one is allowed in until I return."

"Chieftain, where are you going?" the Elder and Lame asked together. Qu Bing also poked his head out from behind his mother, looking at Luo Chong.

"I'm going to see why our Hunting Team hasn't returned. You all guard the home," Luo Chong said with a frown.

He was very worried about the Hunting Team's situation. Not a single person had returned. Were they all dead, or were they captured? Whichever it was, the enemy wouldn't be few, so Luo Chong decided to go and see for himself.

The 200-plus arrows were divided into two bundles and hung around Hui Shan's neck. Luo Chong slung his Longbow over his back, held the White-shafted Golden Spear, and jumped onto Hui Shan's back. Pointing the spear forward at the bloodstain on the ground, Hui Shan roared and charged forward.

Rou Rou also trotted after them. After running a couple of steps, it turned back, used its trunk to grab two sweet roots, and then caught up.

The two young elephants must have grown up among people; they weren't afraid of them and didn't mind being ridden. Clearly, they did this often.

Hui Shan carried Luo Chong, galloping all the way, following the bloodstain into the jungle, with Rou Rou close beside them.

One person and two elephants headed west. After running for a while, a group of people suddenly appeared ahead. The leading figures were carrying golden axes – it was Dashu and his group. Luo Chong was startled, patted Hui Shan's head, and quickly made it stop.

Dashu and the others also saw Luo Chong and hurried over.

"What happened? Did you encounter enemies?" Luo Chong saw that all 10 people were there and unharmed, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Dashu didn't recognize the enemies and motioned for Beast Tooth to speak. Beast Tooth immediately spoke proudly, "Chieftain, it was people from that tribe to the west, the one we trade pottery with. They attacked first, killing our antelopes. Then we counterattacked twice and killed... hmm... that many of them."

Beast Tooth thought for a long time, then held up 7 fingers.

Baldy's tribe? Luo Chong was a little puzzled. Why would Baldy's tribe attack his? Did they want to annex his tribe?

"Where are they now?" Luo Chong asked with a frown.

"They ran away. They probably went home. They ran after we killed a few of their people," Dashu replied.

They ran away? Did running away mean it was over? Did my antelopes die for nothing? I worked so hard to get them back.

"Let's go, pursue them, and kill them. Anyone who dares to attack my tribesmen must die, even if they only killed antelopes!" Luo Chong waved his long spear and pointed west.

One-Ear and the others naturally had no objections. If the Chieftain said they were going for revenge, of course they would go. How imposing the Chieftain sounded just now, saying anyone who dared to attack his tribesmen must die, whether they were people or antelopes. Wait, that's not right. Which is more important, people or antelopes?

But no one answered his question at that moment. The others had already followed Luo Chong. One-Ear also quickly followed.

It wasn't until about two o'clock in the afternoon that Luo Chong and the others reached the vicinity of Baldy's tribe. Looking from a distance, there wasn't a single person on the open space by the cave entrance. The entrance was blocked by a huge rock, but there was still a significant gap, and several pairs of eyes were secretly looking out.

Baldy was one of them. What he feared most was the other party returning for revenge. He had been hoping, by chance, that since the other party hadn't suffered a loss this time, they wouldn't come back. But he didn't expect them to actually come, and with such a lineup.

The leader had Snake-skin Hair Binding, wore a Bone Hairpin, held a gleaming Gold-tipped Long Spear, and had a grim expression. He rode a long-nosed giant creature taller than a person, and there was another one beside it.

If I had known the other party was so powerful, why would I have bothered fighting? At this moment, Baldy was filled with regret. He wished he could immediately offer land and compensation, or arrange a surrender under the city walls, just to send this god-like man away.

Luo Chong was also bewildered. He had originally thought that if the other party didn't have many people, he would directly defeat them and then annex all the remaining people. But they wouldn't even come out to fight him.

What should he do now? Challenge them? They didn't even speak the same language! Calling out wouldn't do any good.

Looking at the eyes peeking out from inside the cave, Luo Chong plunged his long spear into the ground, took down the Longbow from his back, drew the bow, nocked an arrow, and whoosh.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

"What the hell, I only shot one arrow! Why are there so many screams? Did it skewer them like candied hawthorns?" Luo Chong's mouth twitched, a little confused.

In fact, Luo Chong really only hit one person, and it happened to be Baldy himself. He was shot through the eye, and half an arrow protruded from the back of his head, stuck in the skull, without injuring the people behind him. The others screamed because they were scared.

There was nothing he could do. The distance was too close, less than ten meters. The penetrating power was just that strong. If it had a metal arrowhead, it would definitely have flown out the back of the skull.
