Chapter 1772: Chapter 1772: Pick One of Two

Ji You and Old Yellow Bull, upon Blue and Yellow approaching, surprisingly said nothing, turned their heels, and ran. This completely caught this disciplined army off guard.

Not even a fight?

Not to mention a fight, they didn’t utter a single word, not even a harsh sentence, they just directly fled.

Moreover, the bull ran fast, faster than expected by Blue and Yellow, and the combined forces of the two tribes couldn’t catch up.

In the team, one with deep blue eyes looked at the golden-eyed one beside him and said, "Should we immediately pursue them?"

The golden-eyed one furrowed their brows and said, "Blue, look at the direction the bull is running..."

What’s wrong with the direction?

Blue Eyes was a bit puzzled, then focused and saw that the bull wasn’t just running aimlessly, it was heading directly towards the Qing·Lv·Shi’s ambush’s direction.

What issue is there with going in this direction?

Wouldn’t it just run into the gunfire?

Blue Eyes was slightly confused until Yellow Eyes said, "It’s not the direction the bull is running that’s the problem, it’s its running posture..."

"Hmm?" Blue Eyes still didn’t understand.

Following this.

He took a closer look and noticed that the bull, originally sprinting for its life, slowed down as it neared Qing·Lv·Shi, its tail swinging happily, even mooing joyfully—

This bull didn’t look wild at all, it seemed more like a domesticated one.

That’s what was strange.

Blue Eyes narrowed his eyes and said, "What’s going on?"

Yellow Eyes said, "Isn’t this the bull we drove down from the Space Rift?"

Blue Eyes observed carefully and said, "It is indeed, its head and skin have many unhealed scorched marks, and the scars match, it’s definitely the same one."

"Then why does it seem so familiar with Qing·Lv·Shi?" Yellow Eyes inquired.

This was a question that Blue Eyes couldn’t answer.

The two of them fell silent for a moment, then simultaneously said, "Let’s chase after them."

So——

At an order, the large group rushed towards Qing·Lv·Shi’s direction.

At the same time——

Qing·Lv·Shi was completely baffled now!

What was going on?

It had ambushed there, intending to wait for the Red Clan to chase after the bull and start fighting Blue and Yellow. Then, it would join in, solving the Red Clan, or at least weaken the Red Clan’s strength and capture the bull.

Of course, its main goal was to eliminate Long Aotian, so it was willing to give up some benefits to Blue and Yellow.

Unexpectedly, the bull did nothing but ran straight towards its own direction.

What?

What’s going on?

Also, what were Blue and Yellow planning, why didn’t they attack the bull as agreed?

This was also a perplexing point for Qing·Lv·Shi.

Then——

Qing·Lv·Shi had to contact Blue and Yellow: "Your Excellencies, please come quickly, this bull is completely controlled by Long Aotian, we must solve Long Aotian swiftly."

As soon as he finished speaking——

He heard Long Aotian’s teasing, "Old Green, you’re truly deceivingly wicked, calling me Lord Long Aotian yesterday, and wanting my life today, how can you be so capricious?"

Qing·Lv·Shi: "..."

Qing·Lv·Shi kept a calm face and said, "I thought you would run away, now that you’re personally delivering yourself to death, I must accept it."

Ji You covered her ears and said, "No, I’m afraid of dying. Don’t mess around, if you do, I don’t know what I might do."

Qing·Lv·Shi didn’t want to waste words with her because the more he listened, the more easily he could be swayed by her, so he lowered his eyes and said, "Attack all at once."

With that, the soldiers of the Green Clan lurking around collectively aimed at Old Yellow Bull.

Old Yellow Bull opened its mouth and roared with a howl.

Ji You raised her hand, grabbed Old Yellow Bull’s ear, and said, "Don’t be afraid, you are an important hostage, no! Bullsthostage, a dead bull is certainly less useful than a living one, so they definitely won’t kill you immediately."

Old Yellow Bull: "..."

Is this human speech?

Ji You said, "But you still need to run, don’t run towards Blue and Yellow, run towards Qinglu’s position."

Old Yellow Bull started running, and it was at this moment that Qing·Lv·Shi’s army’s artillery fired directly at Old Yellow Bull.

Old Yellow Bull: "How——"

[It hurts so much!]

However, Old Yellow Bull had a thick skin and rough flesh, even the power of space overlap didn’t crush it, and Qing·Lv·Shi’s army’s attack power naturally couldn’t kill Old Yellow Bull in one blow. Old Yellow Bull stubbornly withstood this hit.

The next moment, as the enemy’s artillery was about to strike again, Ji You suddenly said, "Old Green, take a look at your Life Line."

Qing·Lv·Shi didn’t want to pay attention, just as he was about to order a second attack, he suddenly felt something strange on his Life Line. Looking down, his expression changed drastically!

On the thin and long Life Line, originally only sporadic black spots were now densely, in rows upon rows, filling the Life Line!

Qing·Lv·Shi’s face changed dramatically: "!!!"

In that instant, his legs almost buckled and he nearly fell, narrowly saved by the support of a nearby subordinate. Qing·Lv·Shi gestured for the subordinate to let go.

The subordinate with green eyes immediately released his hand.

Qing·Lv·Shi tried to stabilize his emotions, to make himself appear normal, then he instructed everyone to temporarily stop.

Old Yellow Bull was already prepared to withstand the second wave of attack, but unexpectedly, just as the enemies raised their weapons, they lowered them again.

For a moment, Old Yellow Bull was bewildered.

Ji You said, "That’s better."

As she spoke, Ji You’s face showed no abnormality whatsoever.

Qing·Lv·Shi looked around and whispered, "What do you want?"

Ji You smiled and said, "Nothing much, just want you to behave."

Qing·Lv·Shi: "..."

Qing·Lv·Shi took a deep breath and said, "What do you want? Speak."

Ji You glanced at Blue and Yellow Eyes who were already running this way, chuckled and said, "Death of a friend or death of a wizard, you choose one."

Qing·Lv·Shi: "???"

"Still not clear?" Ji You laughed and said, "You die, or others die, you choose one."

Qing·Lv·Shi lowered his eyes.

Though he roughly understood her meaning, hearing her say it still made Qing·Lv·Shi feel choked, almost wanting to kill this damned Long Aotian on the spot.

When his emotions fluctuated slightly higher, he felt a faint anomaly from his Life Line, then he heard Long Aotian’s faint voice: "You’re not being obedient."

Qing·Lv·Shi: "..."

At that moment, Qing·Lv·Shi suddenly couldn’t understand why he had ended up in this predicament.
