Chapter 753: 753

Walking to this point and seeing the pile of bones on the ground, reminded of the tribe’s warmth towards him, Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Well then, I’ll take you out too, so you can be laid to rest."

Xiao Zheng immediately took off his coat, wrapped up the bones, and carried them on his back. Then, he grasped the rope and climbed up the cave.

Just as he stepped out of the cave entrance, Xiao Zheng noticed a brilliant sunrise slowly ascending in the distance, casting millions of beams that brightly illuminated the forest.

Xiao Zheng looked around and found no one nearby, except for Little Arman and her mother sitting under a large tree in the distance; they had apparently been waiting for a long time, so by then they were asleep with morning dew in their hair.

Xiao Zheng felt a warmth in his heart, not expecting that this mother and son had been waiting for him all this time. He walked over, woke them both, and smiled, "I’m back."

"Ah, big brother, you’re finally back! I was so worried! I wanted to go down to look for you, but my mom wouldn’t let me."

Little Arman woke up and, seeing Xiao Zheng, was overjoyed, rushing over and hugging him.

"Warrior, that you came back safe is really wonderful. Others in the tribe were saying that you might never return. I didn’t believe it and just kept waiting here. Eventually, Little Arman sneaked over too," said Little Arman’s mother, also visibly delighted.

"Ha-ha, thank you. That cave was indeed very dangerous; there was a terribly fierce beast, but it’s been dealt with by me. I also brought out the bones of people who had died in that cave," Xiao Zheng explained, gesturing to the bundle on his back.

"Really? That’s wonderful! Basiba will be extremely grateful to you," exclaimed Little Arman’s mother joyfully.

The Asman Clan is a tribe that venerates its ancestors, valuing proper burial. For Basiba, retrieving these bones was an immense act of kindness.

"Alright, let’s head back to the village, your clothes are wet; go change into something dry," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

"Okay."

Both mother and daughter nodded.

Xiao Zheng immediately led them towards the tribe. However, just as they got a short distance away, a gunshot suddenly rang out from the direction of the tribe, followed by a racket of noisy sounds.

"Not good."

Xiao Zheng’s expression changed.

The mother and daughter were startled by the gunshot, stopping in their tracks, their faces pale.

"Something dangerous might have happened in the tribe; it’s unsafe. You two go back to around that cave and hide there; I’ll go check what’s happening," Xiao Zheng decided on the spot, telling Little Arman and her mother.

"Warrior, don’t go alone, it’s very dangerous," Little Arman’s mother couldn’t help but caution.

"Don’t worry."

Xiao Zheng smiled and then darted towards the tribe.

Soon, he arrived just outside the tribe and saw a scene that made him furious. A dozen foreign mercenaries in camouflage were holding guns and brashly gathering all the tribespeople in the middle of an open space in the center of the village, ordering them to squat on the ground.

The villagers, though simple, were also very tough; many warriors bravely stood up to resist, but since the mercenaries had guns, they were no match, and soon several bodies added to the ones already on the ground.

"Has anyone among you seen bones like these?"

The leader of the mercenaries pulled out a photo, addressing the surrounded Asman people in the local language.

"If you know anything, you’d better tell me honestly, or I’ll kill you all!" he threatened.

Xiao Zheng saw this scene and his pupils slightly contracted—the bone shown in the photo was exactly like the Golden Bone!

"These people are indeed here for the Golden Bone, and they are likely underlings of the King of North Africa," Xiao Zheng thought to himself.

At that moment, after the leader of the mercenaries asked his question, the many Asman people just coldly waited without anyone speaking.

"Damn it!"

The group of mercenaries immediately became furious and raised their guns, ready to kill.

"Wait." Just then, the leader stopped everyone.

After scanning the Asman people, he sneered, "Let’s not be in a hurry to kill them now. We’ll send some men to search for the Golden Bone. If we can find it, that would be great. If not, then we can kill!"

"Yes."

At the command, the mercenaries immediately dispersed to search throughout the village.

Xiao Zheng saw them preparing to shoot and was ready to make a move, but the leader stopped them, so he did not act immediately. After all, the Gang Qi in his body was suppressed by the mystic power of this primeval jungle,

and facing so many armed mercenaries, especially when they had Asman people in their hands and the stakes involved, the possibility of victory was not great.

Seeing the men disperse, his eyes couldn’t help but gleam.

"A perfect opportunity to strike!"

A cold light flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes, and then he moved like a ghost into the tribal village.

He had roamed this village for a few days already and was very familiar with the terrain, easily finding a place to hide.

Soon, a mercenary walked right by him. This mercenary was very rough, entering a room and violently smashing all the furniture, turning everything upside down.

Xiao Zheng, watching this, grew even colder!

The Asman people led a primitive life, so everything in the house was very important and precious to them. Yet, this mercenary was violently destroying everything!

Bang!

He hesitated no more. His body shot forward like an arrow to the mercenary. The mercenary’s eyes widened in horror, but before he could react, Xiao Zheng had already struck fiercely!

He wrapped his hands around the mercenary’s neck and gently twisted. With a crisp crack, the mercenary’s neck was completely broken, very neatly.

"One down."

Xiao Zheng dropped the body to the ground and then rushed to another location.

Moving like a phantom, he eliminated several more mercenaries in no time!

However, things always have twists. When Xiao Zheng killed the eighth mercenary, that mercenary managed to fire a shot. The gunshot immediately drew the attention of others.

The mercenaries rushed towards the area at once.

"Hmph."

With a cold snort, Xiao Zheng flashed his body and found a spot to hide.
