Chapter 1149: Chapter 596 Don’t Say I’m Heartless and Ungrateful

Three days later, Sean Knight already had six sections of the Tree of Life in his possession, the longest of which was the treetop.

This section was over seven meters long, but it contained the least amount of life energy.

The tribe that owned this part of the Tree of Life was now reduced to less than 100 people. Although they were not short of food, they had little contact with the outside world, and the male to female ratio within the tribe was severely lacking, which probably meant they couldn’t last too many more years.

This tribe also had no priest, or rather, although the chief acted as a priest, he didn’t have the abilities of one, and therefore couldn’t actually sense the characteristics of the Tree of Life. This section of the Tree of Life was used as construction material, fashioned into a tree house.

Sean Knight brought the tree house down at night, took away this treetop section, and then left behind ten bags of rice.

The tribe was isolated from the world and probably hadn’t encountered much danger. Only one warrior was on night watch and had no idea about Sean Knight’s actions.

Having collected all the fragments of the Tree of Life scattered outside, Sean Knight set out for the tribe where Aiwa resided.

He decided to take that section of the Tree of Life as well, leaving some branches for Aiwa.

Of course, he planned to discuss it with Aiwa, as after all, the two of them had a good relationship. Sean Knight had no intention of taking it by force.

Two days later, Sean Knight arrived at Aiwa’s tribe.

When he was two kilometers from the tribe, Sean Knight felt that something was amiss!

He immediately picked up his pace and ran towards Aiwa’s tribe!

Then he heard faint shouting!

Although he couldn’t understand it, it was clear that a battle was underway over there!

Casting aside thoughts of how to persuade Aiwa, Sean Knight had already drawn his automatic rifle while running; whatever happened, he was definitely going to help Aiwa!

Upon reaching the vicinity of the ancient city, Sean Knight finally saw the fighting parties, the Amazon warriors of Aiwa’s tribe, and a group of male warriors wearing the same tree leaves, Sean Knight recognized them at a glance—it was the same tribe of warriors from whom he first stole the tree stump!

How did they track them here?

Sean Knight naturally did not know that two Amazon warriors Aiwa had secretly sent after him had been tracked and their whereabouts leaked during the chase, leading them here.

The warriors, who had lost their Sacred Tree and had their old priest killed, were now taking their rage out on Aiwa and her people!

Sean Knight didn’t ponder too much; he decidedly aimed at the archer warriors and squeezed the trigger!

"Bang bang bang!"

The familiar sound of gunfire erupted, and those who had been fighting the Amazon warriors suddenly dropped their opponents and, with fury, charged toward Sean Knight!

This was exactly what Sean Knight had hoped for. Holding his automatic rifle, he fired while retreating, quickly drawing these men into the jungle.

After a rough estimate, there were about fifty to sixty warriors. Sean Knight dodged javelins and arrows while throwing hand grenades. The warriors periodically fell one or two at a time, but they didn’t care and continued to charge at Sean Knight with bloodshot eyes!

Aiwa in the Divine Temple saw those warriors run off after Sean Knight, and her body finally collapsed to the ground.

Just now those warriors had rushed to the temple, and as a Female Priestess, she had already picked up a weapon to fight.

While the Amazon warriors were well-trained, it was hard to cope with the opposition who outnumbered them, and were richer in stamina and experience.

In just a short time of fighting, her warriors had lost nearly twenty people, with another dozen injured!

Although the tribe’s residents had hidden away, there were quite a few injuries among them too!

If it hadn’t been for Sean Knight’s timely return, her people might have been annihilated!

As it was now, this place was no longer safe!

Aiwa now somewhat regretted sending those two warriors to follow Sean Knight; she was well aware it was her own warriors who had led the enemy here.

Only one of the two warriors had returned, the other was killed by the pursuing warriors.

After resting for a while, she forced herself to stand up again and called the Leader of her warriors, instructing her to lead the remaining warriors in pursuit of the enemy!

"We must cooperate with our friend and kill all those warriors, otherwise our tribe will only have one path to death!"

The battle between the two tribes was a fight to the death!

After all, the other side had come with the intention of annihilating her tribe.

Sean Knight quickly identified a warrior among the group who had the most abundant life energy and fitness and was also obviously their commander.

Because he was shouting orders occasionally, at first Sean Knight thought he was venting his anger, but later he realized that the shouting was directing the warriors to encircle and form up!

After tossing a few smoke bombs, Sean Knight climbed up a tree and set up his sniper rifle!

"Bang!"

With just one shot, the warrior collapsed to the ground—

He had been moving unpredictably—having been involved in the battle earlier at the tribe, he knew the enemy possessed weapons far beyond the ordinary.

But the gap in weaponry couldn’t be bridged with just one or two battles’ experience.

Sure enough, with this warrior downed, the other warriors’ offensive slowed, and someone immediately carried off the fallen warrior.

Sean Knight continued to engage them until dozens more Amazon warriors caught up. Recognizing the situation was hopeless, the enemy warriors dispersed into the jungle.

Sean Knight didn’t pursue further and headed towards the ancient city with his rifle.

The Amazon warriors now knew that Sean Knight was their guest, a friend of their priestess, and so they were all very polite to him.
