Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland.

Chapter 536: Out of the Frontier (Combined Chapter)
Burning sun, valley of vengeance.

A long and narrow mountain path leads to the White Eyebrow Clan’s headquarters, connecting the Land of Shem with the Land of Revenge.

The edge of the junction.

A businessman in fancy clothes released the messenger crow in his hand.

The news that the Lord of Blood appeared in the eastern part of Flash will be transmitted to the other end of the continent, one flight to Hengcheng and the other to Edge Town.

There were only two slightly trembling black dots left on the horizon.

"Lu Beiyou appeared in the east, what does this mean?" Ren Lin watched them go away, "Originally I thought he was going to seek an alliance with the White Eyebrow Clan... but now it seems that is not the case."

Once he brings the so-called nameless clan to formally contact Wu Ma Baimei, the clan leader will know the true situation of the beast disaster and even the changes that took place in the swamp.

Although, Ren Lin was confident that the White Eyebrow Clan's position would not waver - their current prosperity was too dependent on the merchant guild they belonged to.

Once the Lord of Blood pushes too hard.

Ren Lin could even use this to completely pull the White Eyebrow Clan into their camp.

But after all, there are still unstable factors.

Ren Lin is also reflecting on himself.

My previous reaction was too extreme and I lost my composure easily.

Even if the Lord of Blood really came to the White Eyebrow Clan, he might not know about their arrangements, and it was even less likely that he came just for them.

Truly worth watching.

That’s why the other side was able to get out of the West.

Under the influence of the beaked beast disaster, he can still be so cool and carefree. There is probably only one reason -

"He abandoned the entire tribe in the western part of Shan. Without these burdens, he can naturally go into battle lightly." Ren Lin's eyes flashed, "He is worthy of being the Lord of Blood."

A cold-hearted and resolute person.

Even though Ren Lin had anticipated this, he still couldn't help but feel terrified when he actually witnessed it.

From this perspective.

My initial behavior was understandable.

After all, the other party has a bad reputation.

Others may not know.

But those guild leaders who knew the inside story had no choice but to accept it.

"At this point, we can only leave it to the president and his men to handle..." Ren Lin thought to himself, "I'll just wait for Wumian to come back and gather the elder-level beaked beasts he has identified."

Related reports.

He has submitted them all.

Apart from this, there should be no other omissions...

Just then, Ren Lin was thinking this.

A spy came from the direction of the White Eyebrow Clan, with an anxious look on his face. He ran to his side without even having time to report, and quickly relayed the news -

The fat businessman's expression, which had originally calmed down, began to change again.

From surprise to uncontrollable anger.

"The White Eyebrow Clan wants to organize an investigation team outside the wall... Where will Wu Ma get the manpower?"

"Besides, what's the point!?"

The key to the plan to deal with the Lord of Blood this time is to block the news and mislead the White Eyebrow Clan, so that Wumian can have sufficient time and opportunities to develop and perform.

Once the White Eyebrow Clan gives up isolation.

The plan was aborted halfway.

For this purpose, Wumian even needed to release a small group of beaked beasts to attack the valley barrier every now and then to let the guards realize that the beast disaster was not over yet.

Thus maintaining a state of tension at all times.

Internally, it stands to reason that after Ren Lin's secret lobbying, guidance and intimidation, the Baimei clan has reached a consensus on continuing to defend themselves in the barrier.

Even if Wu Ma is the patriarch.

They are also unable to force the various factions to carry out what they consider to be a "suicide" mission.

He should have no one available now.

And from where...

"Sir, they are the animal trainers from other tribes in the east of Shan." The spy reminded.

Ren Lin was stunned, then suddenly said:
"As expected of Wu Ma..."

These people came from various tribes who had come here to seek refuge, and their origins were confusing and complicated. At least until today, none of them had been assigned to any internal faction of the White Eyebrow Clan.

They are exactly the ones that Wu Ma can use right now.

At the same time, it will not arouse the resentment of the internal elders.

The people you use are not yours.

There is no position to oppose it at all.

All along, when Wu Ma was in charge of the White Eyebrow Clan, his gentle style made Ren Lin subconsciously ignore it——

Anyway.

He is the leader of the largest nomadic tribe in the entire land of Shem. His non-dictatorial nature does not mean he has no opinions, nor does it mean he has no skills.

"But how can Wu Ma convince them..."

Ren Lin held on to a last glimmer of doubt and hope.

"It's a signal," the spy confirmed. "A signal from western Shan."

He quickly stated the results of his investigation.

"The guards observed day and night for two consecutive days, interrupting once in the middle, and only then were they able to fully interpret the meaning of the flashing frequencies of the searchlights."

"They said: West of Shem, safe."

Ren Lin's fingers trembled.

His guess was completely overturned.

The spy didn't know what this news meant... The Lord of Blood did not abandon the tribes of the West, but only set out for the east after resolving the beast plague and ensuring that there were no future troubles.

He was not restrained by the beaked beast led away by the faceless man.

But solved them?
In a sense, this is even more terrifying than him simply abandoning the Western Region of Shem.

And lost the worries,

The fearless Lord of Blood...

Ren Lin felt as if a tiny electric current was flowing through his body, and a chill naturally surged up his back.

"Go, find Wumian!"

He gave orders to the remaining warriors.

Even if they went out now, because there was no trainer accompanying them, they might still be attacked by the beaked beasts, resulting in serious casualties.

But now I don’t care about that much anymore.

I must deal with it immediately.

At the moment, the only thing Ren Lin was thankful for was that the Blood Lord did not enter the barrier with the refugees, so he had no idea how the White Eyebrow Clan would react.

I guess the other party didn't come in at first.

He was also concerned about the unclear attitude of the White Eyebrow Clan. Any rash action might lead to him falling into a tiger's den. When two parties are fighting, only the one who is waiting will benefit.

As for the "Lord of Blood" Lu Beiyou, the Merchant Guild had already obtained his appearance and circulated it among the top brass. Ren Lin also got a copy.

That's different from the abstract paintings of wanted criminals.

It is a real photo, a lost technology from ancient times, the president's treasured collection.

A skeleton head that has lost its logical functions and only has the ability to record and store memories.

Ren Lin was amazed.

He also memorized the image of the Lord of Blood so that he would never mistake him if he met him on the road.

So, after that day.

Ren Lin sent people to confirm carefully and was sure that the other party did not disguise his identity and sneak into the Baimei clan. The news reported by the guard was not a smokescreen.

Although it is only temporary, as long as the Lord of Blood has not yet come into contact with the White Eyebrow Clan.

There's still time for everything.

So, the first thing that should be solved.

These are the many animal trainers who are carrying out the mission on behalf of the clan leader Wu Ma.

"How many of them are there?" Ren Lin asked.

"Although they promised lucrative benefits, Wu Ma did not force everyone to participate..." the spy recalled, "In the end, about half of the people decided to go out."

……

……

"Doctor, you didn't come with us," Xinping grabbed Lu Meng's hand, tears in his eyes, "This makes me feel very uncertain!"

He shook it vigorously, as if he wanted to shake his hands off.

Qing Rong on the side couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

He stepped forward and separated the two men, saying, "Xinping, the barracks also need him, and it's dangerous to go out. Since you are so grateful to him, you won't want to put others in danger, right?"

He turned to Lu Meng again:

"I respect your choice, Doctor. We in the White Eyebrow Clan will not force you to do anything. Personally, I also hope that you can stay in a safe place."

"Ah."

Lu Meng smiled and nodded in thanks.

"I don't mean any harm..."

Seeing Qingrong speak, Xinping reluctantly let go of his hand and said awkwardly.

He was just a little too excited.

I was also a little surprised that Lu Meng did not join the team investigating outside the wall.

Logically speaking, if you want to become a member of the White Eyebrow Clan in the future.

This is a good opportunity to demonstrate your loyalty.

Not to mention, the clan leader Wu Ma also promised substantial benefits.

And based on the doctor's popularity.

Most of the animal trainers present had received help from him directly or indirectly, so they would definitely take good care of the animals when they went out, and they would basically not encounter any danger.

It can be said to be free money.

However, since the doctor said not to go, Xinping could understand it, and he didn't think of it as a cowardly person.

On the way to the White Eyebrow Clan.

The dangers they faced were much greater than they are now.

Sometimes even the warriors of various tribes were frightened, but this military doctor, who was barely able to even tie a chicken, remained calm and was able to rescue the wounded from the mouths of ferocious beasts.

once,
The refugee team was attacked by a beaked gorilla. This creature already possessed preliminary intelligence and was as cunning as a human, making it difficult for everyone to guard against it.

Even many animal trainers.

They were all fooled by them.

But it was this military doctor who, holding a branch and bluffing, forced a beaked gorilla that was approaching the temporary camp to retreat. The gorilla later explained that this was because wild animals are often afraid of creatures larger than themselves, and the beaked gorilla had a hard time distinguishing the environment at that time...

All of you animal trainers who deal with animals all your life, after listening to this... will think it's nonsense.

But he did it anyway. Even when the orangutan was running away, he really showed a fearful expression like an anthropomorphic person... Even if it was just luck, it was enough to show his courage.

Timid?

nonexistent.

The trainers' admiration for him was heartfelt and all-round, and they naturally respected Lu Meng's choice at this moment.

Except for the animal trainer who decided to participate in the investigation.

There were also many remaining armed forces from various tribes who also went out to escort them.

Qing Rong led a small number of private soldiers from the Baimei clan as the commander-in-chief.

Although he said that he hoped Lu Meng stayed in a safe place.

But he himself had made up his mind from the very beginning to participate in the action.

In fact, Qingrong might be the one among all people.

The one that is most excited and determined in my heart.

The gates of the valley wall were opened again after a long absence.

This time, we are not here to greet the refugees coming in from outside, covered in dust, scars and tired.

Instead, they sent out an exploration force that was full of energy and ready to go.

There was a squeaking sound.

The bearing rotates.

Lu Meng watched them leave.

They looked exactly like the guards at the city gate and the families and relatives of the major tribes who were seeing them off.

But, when a young girl passed by him.

Under the iron mask.

There came a voice that only the two of them could hear, small but clear.

"Calling all wolf riders."

The young man's lips and teeth opened and closed.

Qi Ke's body paused for a moment imperceptibly, and then she lowered her head, as if to avoid suspicion, but also as if to agree.

Qingrong was at the front of the team.

He looked back.

From his distance, he could only see the originally towering valley wall becoming lower and lower, as if he could climb over it at any time.

Looking at it this way,
It seems that it is not as indestructible as the tribesmen thought.

And Qing Rong really wants to see it.

In fact, it was the figure of the military doctor.

He remembered that before he was about to leave, the other party said something, simple, but it shocked his heart.

"I've heard about the young patriarch's condition," said the white-haired, masked doctor. "I wonder if I could recommend someone - maybe I can cure him."

At that time, Qingrong stood there in a daze.

A sense of hope arises in my heart.

If Ji Hai's disease could be cured——

But in the end, he still shook his head and refused:

"I appreciate your kindness on his behalf...but I'm afraid no one else can do anything about this matter."

Not to mention, the symptoms of the illness that day were something I had never heard of before.

Even if the other party's medical skills are superb.

That can only treat physical symptoms.

The young patriarch’s other “madness” is in a completely different area.

Now, Qingrong looks back.

He was no longer visible.

——I don’t know whether he couldn’t see it or the other party had already left and continued to treat the wounded in the barracks.

But anyway.

Even within the Baimei clan, Ji Hai had been forgotten for a long time; as an outsider, Qing Rong could hear from the doctor's words that he cared about his good friend.

He was still very grateful.

……

……

In the White Eyebrow Clan, regardless of all the noise, regardless of the change of day or night, this tent is always shrouded in darkness, as if even time has stopped.

Ji Hai was tied to a bronze pillar.

He is still driving prairie mice to train his animal taming skills, while also exploring the current situation within the tribe.

Although the information he got was quite weak and one-sided, and sometimes before he could analyze anything, the actual situation had changed drastically, completely negating his previous ideas.

But he still worked tirelessly.

Keep doing this.

Ji Hai didn’t know what was the point of doing these things given his current situation - but if he didn’t do this, he would be even more worried.

A breeze blew, stirring up the dust in the tent.

Ji Hai was shocked.

He quickly drove away the third, fifth, and seventh brothers who had sneaked into the tent... and then asked tentatively:

"Qingrong, is that you..."

"Or...father?"

Outside the tent, the afternoon sun was shining brightly. Nanny Li was sitting on a mat, dozing with her eyes half closed and her head drooping from time to time.

Two deaf and mute guards stood with their backs to the curtain door.

Eyes burning.

There was no response from inside the tent.

Quietly.
