Chapter 487: Chapter 488: Old Affairs 25
He always remembered the admonition of the elderly chieftain; he wanted to save the Beastmen in the tribe who still possessed conscience.
But he was alone and powerless, especially under the space power of the current chieftain, preventing him from deploying his superpower, hence the assassination was indefinitely postponed.
Later, he met Aqi, the female who captured his heart in a glance and made him realize the world could still be beautiful.
The time spent with Aqi was the happiest of his life. He even thought about abandoning the tribe and running away with her to live somewhere else outside the Xiluo Forest.
After he confessed his feelings to Aqi, she told him, "Don’t live with regrets. Rescue the Beastmen whom you believe still possess a conscience. We can leave together!"
Kasuo found her suggestion reasonable, and he was delightfully surprised at her understanding!
Since then, he was diligent in training, striving to connect with the sympathetic Beastmen within the tribe. They conspired in the shadows, waiting for Kasuo to breakthrough to Level 6, and then leave Xiluo Forest together.
However, things didn’t go as planned; Kasuo indeed reached Level 6, but Aqi’s stomach grew bigger, hindering her mobility. Unable to keep up with Kasuo’s pace, she was hidden away. They decided that once Kasuo rescued the Beastmen, he would return for Aqi and they would leave together.
But Kasuo had not expected that all of it was a trap set by the current chieftain!
The conscientious Beastmen in the tribe had been manipulated long ago. The chieftain knew about every interaction Kasuo had with them!
So not only Kasuo failed to rescue the Beastmen, but when he returned to Aqi’s hiding spot, he found her gone!
At that moment, Kasuo felt like the sky was falling. He knew the chieftain must have taken Aqi hostage!
He made every effort to find traces of Aqi, but to no avail.
Although the Sky Swallowing Python Chieftain could not catch him, he was helpless against the tribal leader because his superpowers were being suppressed.
After three disoriented days of fruitless searching, Kasuo couldn’t hold off any longer! Fired with fury, he attacked the tribe, fully willing to die along with them!
Upon noticing Kasuo’s arrival, the Chieftain, along with the priest and two other Beastmen, hid in a cave.
Kasuo was seeing red; his superpower whirled wildly around the tribe, indiscriminately eradicating anyone who stepped within the blue vortex.
In the end, Hai Qin and Wen Jue arrived, leading to the scene at the beginning.

"You should leave. Get as far away as possible. I don’t want to see you, and my sister doesn’t want to see you either."
Kasuo stood there quietly, solitary and vulnerable as though even a gust of wind could sweep him away.
He dropped his gaze. "Say sorry to your sister for me. I’ve been a burden on her..."
Upon saying these words, he looked wilted and walked out of the cave unsteadily.
Hai Qin coldly withdrew his gaze, looking at the fallen Sky Swallowing Python chieftain as a sly smile crept onto his face.
"What? You don’t believe that I found my sister? Why don’t I take you to see her? I can assure you that the suffering you inflicted on her will be returned, double-fold."
The Sky Swallowing Python chieftain was dragged out like a dead fish by Hai Qin.
The blue vortices that had once hovered everywhere were now vanishing. The tribesmen who had hidden, out of curiosity, peered out to see.
When they saw their chief being dragged by a Beastman, they were all in disbelief, their eyes wide with shock.
