Chapter 287

Chapter 287The human brain is marvelous; sometimes, even the person themselves doesn't know what kind of thoughts will spring forth in the next moment.

Take, for example, the leader of the Sheep Tribe.

At first, he was pondering why the people of the Green Sparrow Tribe chose to float downstream. But as time passed, thoughts about the Green Sparrow Tribe began to surface in his mind.

Such as the wealth and strength of the Green Sparrow Tribe.

The root cause of all these changes for the Green Sparrow Tribe was the underage person they referred to as the Divine Child.

As he thought about it, that idea of snatching the Divine Child, which he had long since forgotten, somehow resurfaced.

This reemerged thought startled him because he knew full well the power of that tribe. Trying to snatch the Divine Child from them would be futile, and it would bring great disaster to the tribe.

The leader of the Sheep Tribe shook his head, pushing away this unsettling thought from his mind.

Several days passed without the return of the Green Sparrow Tribe. The leader of the Sheep Tribe, along with all the able-bodied adults of the tribe, sealed off their cave, armed themselves with weapons and fur and set off toward the Green Sparrow Tribe.Since the adults from that tribe hadn't returned, there weren't many adults left in their tribe.The Divine Child was still underage and wouldn't go with them to an unknown place.

If they all mobilized, there was a chance they could snatch the Divine Child.

If the people from that tribe had returned along the river without them noticing...

The leader of the Sheep Tribe looked at the large amount of fur carried by the tribe's members, and his uneasy heart began to settle.

If the large group of adults from that tribe returned, they could trade fur with them.

They wouldn't know what their true intentions were.

A fool may have many thoughts, but there's always one that works.

When a person keeps thinking about something, they can always come up with some ideas, whether they work or not for the time being.

After more than two days of walking, the people of the Sheep Tribe approached the wealthy tribe. They could see the tall walls connected to the small mountain through the growing branches and leaves.

The leader of the Sheep Tribe couldn't help but feel his heart race.

"￥3!"

The leader of the Sheep Tribe, walking in the front, suddenly turned around and said.

The people of the Sheep Tribe threw the fur they were carrying on the ground and hid behind the trees, peeking out to look ahead.

Following their gaze, they saw a group of people heading towards the Green Sparrow Tribe.

This group was the Bone Tribe, carrying ladders and preparing to attack the Green Sparrow Tribe.

Because the leader of the Sheep Tribe had a guilty conscience, he stayed here without moving, intending to wait until the people of the Bone Tribe left before leading his people over.

And as they waited, they soon witnessed an unforgettable scene...

The leader of the Sheep Tribe, along with the people of the Sheep Tribe, watched as the people of the Bone Tribe fled in a hurry towards the south bank of the small river, mouths agape like hippos.

Fear, disbelief... these complex emotions intertwined, leaving them all dumbfounded.

What did they see?

More people came than them, a stronger Bone Tribe, yet before they even reached the front of the tribe's walls, they abandoned many lives and fled.

How could it end so quickly?

When the leader of the Sheep Tribe realized that the Bone Tribe was also attacking the Green Sparrow Tribe, he felt both excited and worried.

He was excited because, with the Bone Tribe in the lead, they could assess the strength of the Green Sparrow Tribe and pick up the pieces afterward.

But he was worried that the people of the Bone Tribe might conquer the Green Sparrow Tribe and snatch away the Divine Child.

Regardless of his thoughts, in his anticipation, this attack initiated by the Bone Tribe was supposed to last for some time before concluding.

However, the result was unexpectedly different!

The people of the Bone Tribe had barely started accelerating forward before hastily fleeing at an even faster speed.

Their speed was so fast that it caught everyone off guard!

Everything happening before their eyes seemed like a farce played out by children when they got carried away.

so much so that initially, both the leader of the Sheep Tribe and the rest of the Sheep Tribe, watching all this, were filled with astonishment.

What were these guys doing? Why did they flee so abruptly?

This astonishment turned into fear when they noticed that many people from the Bone Tribe were missing as they fled.

The people from that tribe who had floated downstream had returned when they weren't paying attention!

Otherwise, the people of the Bone Tribe wouldn't have retreated so quickly!

The leader of the Sheep Tribe's heart was pounding uncontrollably.

Amidst the fear and apprehension, there was also a profound sense of relief.

Luckily, the people of the Bone Tribe arrived ahead of them.

Luckily, they hadn't acted recklessly and had made preparations in advance. They brought not only weapons but also a large amount of fur. Otherwise, the Bone Tribe would have been their tribe now.

Suffering such a blow, their tribe would have inevitably weakened.

"￥3..."

Someone quietly approached and, with a trembling voice, asked what to do next, their eyes filled with intense unease.

After thinking for a while, the leader of the Sheep Tribe decided to go back and instructed everyone to be careful and not let the other tribe discover their tracks.

At this moment, they abandoned the idea of pretending to trade with fur, fearing that the aggressive Green Sparrow Tribe might attack them.

As they quietly and nervously made their way back, the invisible walls of the other tribe's compound finally disappeared from view. The leader of the Sheep Tribe and the others breathed a long sigh of relief.

They hadn't noticed how tense they were before, but now that they had relaxed, they felt the soreness in their bodies intensely.

Even though they hadn't done anything, they felt more tired than after a hunting expedition...

The second Senior Brother and the others on the wall were unaware of the secret events that transpired. If they knew, they would surely lament the missed opportunity.

The defensive ditch and the row of "wooden stake array" outside significantly reduced the area the Green Sparrow Tribe needed to defend.

This allowed them to concentrate manpower at the gate without a defensive ditch or wooden stake array.

The relatively dense defense, combined with the high walls and long-range weapons, made it easy for them to overpower the enemy in this scale of defense battle.

Of course, things were different once outside the walls.

The second Senior Brother and the others, who knew their most significant advantage, didn't quickly leave the compound. They held their weapons, vigilantly watching outside.

As for the Bone Tribe members who were injured and unable to escape, they were in deep trouble.

Experiencing the situation where any movement would attract stones and feathered arrows to them, they all obediently lay on the ground, not daring even to whimper.

Fear and pain, at certain times, can make people wiser...
