NOVEL NEXT Chapter 162.2: Ice
They had always believed that Humans were the most deceitful creatures. The Snake-People frequently witnessed Human traitors who betrayed their own kind for personal gain. But, after all, what was the difference between the Snake-People and Humans besides their appearance?
Humans had traitors, so why wouldn’t the Snake-People have them?
Suddenly, a series of recent events rushed into Yin Shi’s mind.
Why could those Humans always accurately find and attack the weakly defended Snake-People tribes?
Why, even when we increased our vigilance, could those Humans always withdraw at critical moments?
If it weren’t for Xiao Yan arriving tonight, those white-robed Humans might still have been able to leave peacefully after slaughtering the Yakachi tribe.
Was this all too coincidental?
Yin Shi contemplated these thoughts in his mind, and at this moment, dozens of Snake-People arrived.
“Tribe Leader Yin! Are you all right?”
Hearing the concerned words of one of the Snake-People males, Yin Shi instantly had an idea.
Since he had an idea, then let’s act on it!
Yin Shi immediately turned to Yue Mei and shouted angrily.
“Yue Mei! You are defending this Human boy who slaughtered our Snake-People tribe! What crime should you be charged with?!”
Huh?
Yin Shi’s sudden accusation left Xiao Yan and Yue Mei stunned.
No… How did Xiao Yan suddenly become a murderer of the Snake-People tribe?
Didn’t we all see it when we arrived at the Yakachi tribe? Those white-robed people were the ones slaughtering the Yakachi tribe!
And the matter of me defending Xiao Yan, didn’t you talk about it for a long time before? Why bring it up suddenly now?
Moreover, judging by your expressions, weren’t you already planning to let Xiao Yan go? Why suddenly pull off this act?
Yue Mei hadn’t reacted yet, but Kui Xing was the first to understand Yin Shi’s thoughts. He immediately followed Yin Shi’s lead and coldly said to Yue Mei.
“Yue Mei, as the Tribe Leader of the Snake-People, you are defending a Human who slaughtered our tribe. You are not worthy of being the Tribe Leader of the Snake-People!”
Then Kui Xing turned to Yin Shi and made a proposal.
“Tribe Leader Yin! I suggest removing Yue Mei from her position as the Tribe Leader! Treat her as a traitor to the Snake-People, bring her back to be dealt with in front of the entire tribe, as a deterrent!”
“I agree!” Yin Shi responded sternly, turning to Hua She Wang and Nan She. “What are your opinions?”
He even signaled to the two with a glance.
The two finally snapped out of their daze and nodded hastily.
“We all follow Tribe Leader Yin’s decision!”
Although they didn’t understand why Yin Shi suddenly did this, the two decided to trust Yin Shi’s judgment.
“Good! Half of the Tribe Leaders present have agreed! Yue Mei’s guilt is undeniable!” Yin Shi looked at the Snake-People and ordered sternly, “All Snake-People, listen to my command! Yue Mei has now betrayed the Snake-People! Follow me and capture her! And that Human too!!!”
“Yes!!!”
Although the Snake-People were puzzled by what was happening, since Yin Shi and the other three Tribe Leaders had given the order, even if it meant capturing Yue Mei, they had to obey.
Yue Mei finally came back to her senses. Her confused mind hadn’t yet figured out what was happening. She stared at Yin Shi with anger in her eyes.
“Tribe Leader Yin! What exactly are you—”
“Traitors need not say more! Face my move!!!”
Yin Shi interrupted Yue Mei’s question. He waved his hand, and a dark purple snake shot out from his palm, growing into a hundreds-of-meters-long snake that roared towards Yue Mei in the blink of an eye.
However, Yue Mei, because of Yin Shi’s attack, remained motionless in her original place.
Yin Shi’s attack seemed formidable, but Yue Mei could clearly feel that this strike didn’t contain much Qi that could harm a person. It couldn’t be compared to the purple giant snake that almost took her life just now. Even if Xiao Yan took this hit, he would probably be fine!
Yelling so loudly but acting so… merciful?
Although Yue Mei could sense it clearly, Xiao Yan, unaware of the vast difference in levels, was not so sure. To Xiao Yan, Yin Shi’s attack seemed more deadly than the one he had just blocked! And Yue Mei, for some reason, neither dodged nor avoided, just stood there as if waiting to die!
Without waiting for Yao Chen to remind him, Xiao Yan immediately flashed in front of Yue Mei, holding up the Heavy Black Ruler, ready to defend against Yin Shi’s attack with all his might!
At that moment, a wall suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Yan, stopping the purple snake firmly.
Looking at the wall that suddenly appeared, Xiao Yan was suddenly stunned.
This is… ice?
“Tsk!”
Just as Xiao Yan was puzzled, a voice came from below. Xiao Yan looked down and saw the small boy, who appeared to be six or seven years old but was actually sixty or seventy, standing in front of him.
The little boy tilted his head slightly, and his purple eyes glanced lightly at Xiao Yan.
“Although I only came here because I took money from Xiao Li, you really know how to cause trouble, kid.”
The little boy’s tone was extremely displeased, speaking nonchalantly.
