Ancient Eden-Chapter 86

Chapter 86

(27.4)

It was just earlier than she had expected, and, although she had previously thought of many possibilities, but she had not expected such a situation.

There was no suspense. Mu Qing knew.

She had the painful feeling of being abandoned for a moment, but this painful feeling was not serious.

No matter who it was, this was the only choice one could make in a situation like this. She understood this logic. Besides, now, his people made the choice instead of him.

Da Wu was once again exchanged.

This time, there were no more incident.

They left while carrying Da Wu and their injured men on their back. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝒍．𝒄𝙤𝙢

Mu Qing kept her eyes downcast and never looked at Li Mang again. She felt she did not have the courage to look at him. It would only add to her despair.

When the groans around began to resound on-and-off, she looked up in some confusion.

It was already empty over there, just like her heart at this time.

How it had been possible for the people here to catch her and Da Wu, why they had made an attempt on Li Mang’s life behind his back, Yi Jia’s strange look, and Tu Lu who had clearly seen the bow and arrow behind Li Mang but had remained expressionless, all of this did not matter anymore.

Mu Qing was once again brought back to a cave. But not the first one.

But she would rather return to the original place with the foul smell of blood.

This was the cave where their chief Gang Tu lived.

She was now very dirty, covered with mud all over her body, the soles of her feet were scraped and numb with pain.

But that Gang Tu did not seem to care about that.

When he came in the evening, the look that flashed in his eyes as he looked at Mu Qing was almost crazy.

That was the look of someone looking for revenge.

During that thrilling hostage exchange of the day, although he obtained animal skins and food, but the cost of it was one of his arms and five corpses from his clan, in addition to the guard Gu Da that this woman had somehow managed to kill. This was too far from what he had anticipated. His tribe’s population was already small, and the loss of so many warriors at once was a very heavy blow to him.

One day he was going to crack open Li Mang’s skull and suck out very slowly his brain marrow.

For now he was going to possess his woman first, and make her endlessly increase the population of his tribe in the future.

According to the secret agreement they first had, he had promised the other party not to touch her, and to just watch her until his return. But now the situation was already beyond his control, since the moment Li Mang did not get shot by the poisoned and secret arrow.

He needed to vent his anger and hatred.

This woman, who looked a little strange and who killed one of his people, would be the beginning of his venting. Even though she now looked dirty like hell, but that did not affect her function.

Mu Qing backed up step by step until she had her back against the cave wall and there was no further way back.

She had already searched every corner of this place, but could not find anything that could be used as a protective weapon.

She looked at Gang Tu who was coming at her in a compelling manner. One of his arms was now hanging helplessly around his waist and, along with his hideous face, he looked somewhat strange and ridiculous. There was no medical treatment here, so his arm was most likely crippled.

Li Mang would not leave and abandon her like this, he would definitely come back sooner or later to save her. This was what she kept repeating to herself when she was locked up alone in this cave during this long afternoon. When he saw her, the overwhelming joy and concern in his eyes became the only source of warmth for her. Like an opium addict, she voraciously recalled the expression on his face over and over again.

She had to convince herself of this so that she would have the courage to continue living.
