Chapter 964: Call for Daddy To Spare Your Life!
A matter such as surrendering was truly too humiliating and shameless.
Let alone the tribe’s honor, even in terms of psychology, Mu Qianlin completely had no way to accept it. He was a brave warrior ranked within the top ten of the tribe, an expert at the Longevity Realm.
Now, not only did he have to surrender to an invader, but the person he was surrendering to was a weakling much weaker than him.
(The heavens above, it’s really impossible for me to do this!)
If this incident was learned by the people of his tribe, Mu Qianlin wouldn’t be able to raise his head high ever again.
But if he didn’t surrender, could it be that he should fight fearlessly to death?
Seeing how ruthless Sun Mo’s attacks were, Mu Qianlin didn’t feel that Sun Mo would show mercy.
(How infuriating, your archery skills are so good and you even have a flying cloud as a mount. Why didn’t you show them at the start? If I knew this in advance, I would have called you daddy and not even chased you for half a step.)
Mu Qianlin watched as his comrade fell from the beanstalk. When his scream entered Mu Qianlin’s ears, he almost cried out for his daddy.
“Brother Lin, what should we do?”
At this moment, other than Mu Qianlin, only two aboriginals were left.
They already began to feel despair. If they ran, they would be shot to death in advance. But if they stayed, they could only wait for death. Truly, it could be said that this was a difficult choice.
Mu Qianlin’s remaining bit of pride didn’t allow him to say any words of surrender. However, he was smart and soon thought of an excuse.
(Right, I’m choosing to live on for the sake of my tribesmen, so I have no choice but to lower my head and accept a compromise.)
“Human, I…I…surr…”
Mu Qianlin felt that he should be more reserved. After all, if he surrendered too quickly, it would be too shameful. He had to pretend to hesitate and think for the bigger picture.
Swish~
The third aboriginal that was closer to the bottom was shot to death by Sun Mo.
When Mu Qianlin said the word ‘surrender’, he wanted to explain that he was doing so for the sake of everyone. But he suddenly fell silent.
Because his last comrade was already shot to death.
Now, only their commanding officer Mu Qianlin remained.
“Mn? Do you have something you want to say?”
Sun Mo asked.
(I…I’ll…f*** your mom!)
Mu Qianlin felt despair. (Even the reason I prepared for surrendering is now rendered useless by you. Can’t you attack slower and spare some of my comrades? What do you want me to do now?)
“Hmm, you want to surrender?”
Sun Mo surveyed Mu Qianlin’s expression and suddenly felt a myriad of emotions.
(So what if this fellow is at the Longevity Realm? He is a person too! He will also fear death!)
“…”
Mu Qianlin found it hard to speak.
Sun Mo smiled and lifted his bow. He didn’t fire immediately but took his time to aim.
“You…you…”
Mu Qianlin wanted to say, ‘just kill me as you will’, but when the words were at the side of his mouth, he trembled and wasn’t able to utter them.
“Coward!”
Sun Mo’s lips twitched. “If you don’t want to die, don’t move.”
Swish~ Swish~ Swish~
Four arrows shot out and pierced into Mu Qianlin’s wrists and ankles, nailing him to the beanstalk.
Sun Mo rode on Little Silver and moved closer.
There was an instant where Mu Qianlin wanted to ignore everything and choked Sun Mo to death. After all, at such a close distance, although he might be injured, he was still stronger than Sun Mo.
But when Mu Qianlin saw a smile on Sun Mo’s face as Sun Mo matched his gaze, all his courage began to melt like snow under the sun.
(He looks down on me!)
Mu Qianlin was very familiar with such a gaze. Disdain and mockery…because he always used such a gaze to look upon his defeated opponents. Moreover, in the clear eyes of Sun Mo, he could also see a hint of casualness.
(He definitely still has a trump card, or he wouldn’t look at me with such a gaze.)
Mu Qianlin pondered but eventually decided not to act.
“After I rescue my companions, I will release you.”
As Sun Mo spoke, he patted Mu Qianlin on his shoulders.
“Y…you are not bringing me to my camp to threaten them to release your people?”
Mu Qianlin was astonished. At the same time, he also felt a little joy. If Sun Mo didn’t bring him back as a captive, he would be able to maintain his reputation.
“No need for that!”
Sun Mo kneaded Mu Qianlin’s shoulder. “If you can escape from here, consider this my loss!”
After speaking, Sun Mo rode on Little Silver and soared upward.
“How good must that be!”
Mu Qianlin looked upward and felt very envious. He also wanted a mount like this.
After waiting for 15 minutes and not seeing Sun Mo or that human female coming down, Mu Qianlin guessed that they had left. He then started to boldly execute his cultivation art, preparing to struggle free. However, to his shock, he discovered that he had no way to circulate the spirit qi in his body.
With no spirit qi, he couldn’t use his cultivation art. He could only depend on his brute strength.
Also, honestly speaking, he was fatigued due to climbing the beanstalk for such a long time. He wasn’t able to depend on his bodily strength to get down.
“What did that fellow do to me?”
Mu Qianlin panicked and bore with the pain, pulling out the arrows from his hands and legs. After that, he soon regretted it. Because of the tall alt.i.tude and powerful winds, the beanstalk was swaying.
With no spirit qi, Mu Qianlin found it difficult to even stabilize his body.
“Why did I have to chase that human?!”
Mu Qianlin wailed, feeling so much regret that he wanted to die.
…
Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue sat on Little Silver and soared through the air toward the campsite. They wanted to take a look at the terrain first, and even if the aboriginals raised their heads, they wouldn’t be able to discover anything.
“Even if you didn’t kill that aboriginal leader, you should at least have tied him up, right?”
Murong Mingyue didn’t understand Sun Mo’s intentions.
“Don’t worry, I sealed his meridians. He would have no way to use spirit qi.”
Sun Mo explained, “Some people would only cherish something after they lost it. If he doesn’t want to become a cripple, he can only follow my instructions.”
Murong Mingyue also understood that Sun Mo had made it so that the aboriginal wouldn’t be able to use any cultivation arts or techniques.
One must know that Sun Mo was the G.o.d Hands. If he said he would cripple someone, it meant he absolutely could do so.
Also, that aboriginal probably needed a day or so to get down from the beanstalk. Before he could go around to raise the alarm, Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue would have rescued their people.
…
Mu Qianlin had personally acted and was chasing two weaklings. Hence, the aboriginals staying in the campsite weren’t nervous or worried at all.
Sun Mo easily snuck in and sprinkled a mushroom powder, which could cause people to faint, inside the well.
This was the knowledge that Sun Mo obtained from learning the Poison Scripture.
“Would something happen to Teacher?”
Ying Baiwu was worried. She had seen Li Ruolan being caught.
“Don’t worry, our teacher is blessed by fortune. He will surely be able to escape.”
Lu Zhiruo consoled her.
Mei Ziyu was curled up in her cell and felt so much self-reproach that she wanted to die. If it hadn’t been for her not being able to protect the students, she wouldn’t have made Sun Mo fall into such perils.
“Teacher, don’t blame yourself. There were so many aboriginals at our camp back then. Even G.o.ds wouldn’t be able to escape.”
Li Ziqi consoled her. After that, she racked her brains, trying to think of a way for them to flee.
“Eldest Martial Sis, your brain is the best. Do you have any ideas?”
The papaya girl asked in a small voice.
“The question now is, how should we deal with those man-eating flowers?”
Li Ziqi frowned. It wasn’t a problem for her, a spiritual controller, to escape the cell. But how should they leave the flowerfield?
After they had been captured and brought here, they had personally seen those man-eating flowers hunting animals.
This was also one of the reasons why the aboriginals were so relaxed in their guard. Even if a captive escaped from the cell and ran out, they would only become food for the man-eating flowers!
“Shh, someone is coming.”
Ying Baiwu reminded them.
“Who among you guys are the disciples of that Sun Mo?”
Mu Qiansen had a fiendish look on his face and wanted to kill humans to vent his emotions.
