Chapter 49 Seeking One's Own Death

Watching the retreating figures of the Li family and their group disappear into the distance, someone in the Gu family's group, his eyes bloodshot, gritted his teeth and said, "Those beasts, they're not even human!"

"We finally got this prey, and now, this is all we have left."

The man beside him choked up as he looked at the prey that was now only half-eaten on the ground.

This small portion of the prey consists of wildebeest heads, so it's easy to imagine that there's even less meat to eat.

Gu Ze clenched his fists, his hatred soaring to the heavens.

He had wanted to shoot Li Xiong dead with an arrow more than once, but he was also very clear about the consequences of doing so.

Not only will they die here, but their relatives left in the village will also face retribution!

Gu Jianghai glanced at everyone, forced a smile, and comforted them, "Try to look on the bright side. We're not going home empty-handed, are we? We can always go hunting again tomorrow."

"Jiang Hai, it sounds easy, but it took us several days to achieve this today."

"Yeah, and besides, even if we're lucky, what if we run into those beasts from Li Family Village again?"

The atmosphere fell silent.

The morale of the crowd plummeted to rock bottom.

Some people even wiped away tears. It is said that men do not easily shed tears, but in fact, it is just that they have not yet reached the point of being heartbroken.

Just then, a man with a flat nose and thick lips sneered twice, looked at the backs of the Li family and the others, and said, "Those people from Chen family village didn't help when they were dying. Now they're going to be in trouble too."

Upon hearing this, the group immediately became excited.

"Yes! Those short-sighted fools think they can buy them time by using us. Ha, they're dreaming."

"With so many prey, they can't run fast. It's only a matter of time before they get caught. When that happens, their fate will be even worse than ours."

"That's right, that's right."

The four seemed to have found an outlet for their emotions, and their mood improved considerably.

Gu Ze remained silent, but he also harbored some resentment towards Chenjia Village for what it had done.

However, he also knew that it was a favor if others helped, and it was perfectly acceptable if they didn't.

Gu Jianghai suddenly stood up, looked into the distance, and said, "Let's hurry up and follow them; maybe we can be of help."

"What?"

Gu Ze and the other four all looked like they had seen a ghost.

"Jiang Hai, do you know what you're saying?" the man with the flat nose said excitedly, "When those people from Chenjia Village passed by, they didn't even glance at us. Where were they when we needed their help? Now that they're in trouble, we're supposed to help them? Are you kidding me?"

Not only him, but the others also couldn't accept it and started making a fuss.

"Dad, they're not willing to help us, so why should we help them?" Gu Ze said, dissatisfied.

"Sigh, helping them is helping us."

Gu Jianghai sighed.

"We are outnumbered, and we will definitely suffer if we encounter Li Family Village. But Chen Family Village is different. We are not much fewer than them, and we have plenty of prey. They may not be willing to hand it over obediently. If the two sides really fight, we can help Chen Family Village drive away Li Xiong and take back our prey."

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately!

"What if a fight doesn't break out?"

Some people have raised questions.

"Even if a fight doesn't break out, we can still stand where we are and boost the morale of Chenjia Village, making the people of Lijia Village more cautious. In this way, the people of Chenjia Village might be grateful to us. Otherwise, our village has fewer people and we will never be able to escape the situation of being at a disadvantage."

Several people were tempted by what they heard, but they still felt somewhat unwilling or uncomfortable.

"Alright, get up, everyone. If you're any later, you might miss your chance."

Gu Jianghai urged him on, picked up his weapon, and ran over quickly.

The group exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and followed.

...

"Look, they're right ahead."

The group from Lijiazhai hurried along and finally spotted several figures in the distance, about five or six hundred meters away.

"Damn it, are these guys rabbits? They run really fast." The man holding a bow and arrow cursed. The wasteland was uneven, and if you weren't careful, you would fall flat on your face.

"Will it work?"

His companion next to him sneered.

"Running fast won't help unless they drop their prey."

"Would they be willing to abandon their prey?"

"Hahaha."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, their eyes gleaming with greed.

"Brother, how many of these five prey do we want?"

Someone asked as they chased after them.

"Is that even a question? Of course, we want them all!" Li Xiong sneered.

"Oh, that's not good. If they all starve to death, who will hunt for us in the future?"

"Yeah, Brother Li, from a sustainable development perspective, let's leave them half a head."

"What you said makes sense."

Li Xiong thought for a moment, "Gu Jianghai is right. Always leave a way out so you can meet again in the future. Let's leave them halfway."

"Brother Li is such a good person."

"If Chen Guodong knew, he would be extremely grateful."

"But what if they don't want to?"

Someone said something, and the surroundings fell silent.

Everyone looked at the man who had spoken, who involuntarily took two steps back and said sullenly, "Brother Li, last time, weren't they unwilling? This time, it seems they're even more unwilling."

"Reluctant?"

Li Xiong snorted coldly, "Do they even have a choice?"

As he spoke, he looked at the two men holding bows and arrows and said, "Listen up, you two. When you catch up with them, shoot them a couple of times first. Give them a warning so they won't argue with me later."

"No problem, brother."

"Let's shoot that kid."

One of them thought of Chen Fan, and a smile appeared on his lips.

You brat, who are you trying to scare with a bow that can be drawn with a hundred pounds of weight?

If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll never know how high the sky is or how thick the earth is.

After they finished speaking, the group quickly closed in again. In the blink of an eye, the two teams were less than 400 meters apart, and the distance was rapidly decreasing at a visible speed.

"Xiao Fan, they're catching up!"

Gao Yang glanced back briefly and hurriedly said.

The long run with the weight left him drenched in sweat and unable to speak clearly.

The others weren't much better off.

Despite being mentally prepared, I was still incredibly nervous when it actually happened, and my legs were trembling.

"Xiao Fan, should we stop?"

Chen Guodong asked.

"Don't stop."

Chen Fan calmly said, "Keep running forward, and it's best to speed up so they think we're scared."

The group exchanged glances and then took off running again.

Chen Fan, with a bow in one hand and his prey dragging in the other, ran at the back of the group.

He glanced back, then looked away, a cold smile playing on his lips.
