Chapter 480: Chapter 481: Old Affairs 18
Hai Qin’s voice trembled slightly. He couldn’t imagine that one day his sister, who had always been so delicate and would even complain about a minor skin scratch, was actually being roasted over a fire by others!
Thinking of the suffering his sister had been through, Hai Qin was in such pain he wanted to die!
He kicked Nanding mercilessly in the kneecap again. He heard a crisp crunch, followed by Nanding’s scream, and he knew Nanding’s leg was broken for good!
But there was no satisfaction from revenge in his heart - if he could, he now wanted to skin and depone all the Beastmen who had tortured his sister!
His eyes were so red they were nearly bleeding!
"What are you screaming about? Lead the way quickly, do you want your other leg to break too?"
Nanding’s face turned as pale as a ghost from the pain, his sweat was falling from his forehead, and as he endured the severe pain, he limped and hopped to continue leading the way.
...
At the beginning of the rainy season, the tribal chief brought back a female, claiming that she was the female of the betrayer Kasuo. Once brought back, she was put into the Fire Prison, a suggestion made by the priest.
She was tied to a wooden stake, surrounded by piles of fire. The fire was just enough distance away that it wouldn’t touch her but could let her feel the burning heat.
At the time when this little female underwent the punishment, she was pregnant, her belly bulging. Many people in the tribe found it cruel and wanted to change their minds.
But the chief didn’t change his mind and instead declared, "If anyone else says such a thing, come and be punished with her!"
The members of the tribe then shut their mouths.
Some people didn’t want to watch and wanted to leave, but the chief wouldn’t let them!
He made those who wanted to leave stand at the front to feel the severity of the Fire Prison up close.
Nanding remembered clearly, the little female’s screams resonated through the tribe, her once tender skin was cracked from the intense heat, wrinkling and no longer attractive. This made Nanding feel a pang of regret at one point.
After the implementation of the Fire Prison, the female gave birth to a cub, which resulted in a lot of blood loss.
The chief declared that the cub of a betrayer was also a betrayer, so he ordered the most softhearted female in the tribe to kill the cub herself.
Although it was cruel, it must be said, the chief’s action made the members of the tribe even more reverent and fearful of him!
The place where Aqi was being held was a very secret cave in the Forbidden Mountain. Only the tribe chief, the priest, and the two Beastmen who had escorted her were allowed to go in and out.
Nanding and Xiding stumbling across this place was unexpected; they inadvertently entered the restricted area of the tribe, the Forbidden Mountain. Fearing being discovered and experiencing the same kind of torment, they were very careful on their way out, afraid of being found.
But no one discovered them; instead, they discovered the place where Aqi was being held.
...
The path in the Forbidden Mountain was winding and difficult to traverse, not to mention Nanding’s right leg had been broken by Hai Qin, causing him to lose all strength.
After walking some distance, Nanding was panting heavily, "I can’t... I can’t go on..."
Seeing this, Hai Qin sneered, mercilessly breaking Nanding’s left leg this time!
The screams once again stirred up a flock of birds in the jungle! n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
"There we go, you don’t have to walk yourself now, I’ll drag you. Lead the way!"
Nanding’s face turned ashen. He shakily pointed in a direction, "Over...over there..."
Hai Qin snorted coldly, "If you dare to lie to me, ha!"
