Chapter 35, Encounter 77: Hilichurl Camp
Qiqi panicked and ran along the river without knowing where to go.
Along the way, countless sweet flowers and mints left her with nowhere to hide.
There are no obstacles here.
Qiqi slowed her pace in disappointment, like a deflated balloon, completely devoid of fighting spirit.
Looking at the flat, gentle riverbanks and grasslands all around, Qiqi was even prepared to surrender!
I'm quitting! I'm withdrawing from the competition!
Just then, a white crane floating on the water not far away spread its broad wings and flapped its wings, flying towards the sky.
"White cranes can fly."
Qiqi's eyes shone as she stared blankly at the white crane that flew away, her eyes filled with envy.
Coming to her senses, Qiqi followed the white crane along the river with a determined look in her eyes.
But the white crane wouldn't wait for poor short-legged Qiqi; it flapped its large wings and flew further and further away.
After Qiqi ran for a few minutes, it disappeared from sight completely.
"So tired, White Crane, gone."
Qi Qi leaned slightly against a large tree, breathing slowly. At the same time, she pouted, looking indignant, suspecting that the white crane had deliberately sped away.
Bad white crane!
Just ten steps away was a Hilichurl camp.
Because the tree was surrounded by grass, and because Qiqi's height was not obvious, the Hilichurls had no idea that Qiqi had arrived.
At this very moment, the Hilichurls are happily dragging their victorious hunted prey back to camp in neat formation.
"Guru-guru, Mimi muhe mosi mita!" (We're hungry! We want to eat meat!)
The Hikkuri people shouted and danced excitedly.
They eagerly began to divide the work, setting up grills, cleaning prey, and starting fires by rubbing sticks together.
Hearing the commotion, Qiqi poked her head out to observe the situation.
She spotted it immediately; a Hilichurl had secretly torn off a piece of meat while the others weren't looking.
"Dada!" (Yay!)
The black Hilichurl, Little Black, looked delighted, as if it were the smartest one in the camp.
However, just as Xiao Hei was about to hide the meat, his accomplices discovered it.
“Biat! Ye yika!” (You bastard! You're so mean!)
The other Hilichurls noticed this and, clenching their fists, slowly approached the little black creature, angrily surrounding it.
Little Black had nothing to say. At this moment, it could only nervously drop the meat and crouch down on the ground, preparing to accept the punishment for its thieving behavior.
However, it will dare to do it again next time!
The Hilichurls, enraged, raised their fists and rushed forward, ready to teach the Black One a lesson.
Seeing Xiao Hei so panicked and helpless, Qi Qi couldn't help but want to save it.
"You, don't, bully it!"
Seven-Seven, only half the average height of a Hilichurl, bravely stepped out of the bushes and sternly interrupted their impending act of violence.
"Yo si dala?" (Who are you?)
The Hilichurls stared blankly at the little girl in front of them, not knowing what she was talking about.
Qiqi also couldn't understand what they were saying.
While the Hilichuriki were still in a daze, Qiqi fearlessly rushed into the crowd and pulled out the still-shaken Xiao Hei.
"Little Black, don't be afraid, I'll protect you." Qi Qi's small voice carried a hint of strength.
Although Xiao Hei couldn't understand, he felt unusually at ease.
"Yo dada!" (You're great!)
When Qiqi arrived, the Hilichurls were very happy, after all, it was the first time they had met a friend from another race, so they decided to have a meal with Qiqi.
Xiao Hei's behavior was forgiven.
Xiao Hei sighed with lingering fear, then happily pulled his new friend Qi Qi to sit in the center of the banquet.
Qiqi sensed their kindness, and a radiant light appeared on her stiff face.
And so, the Hilichurls formed a large circle. Some Hilichurls celebrated around the pillar, joyfully dancing the Hilichurl Dance, while the Wind Hilichurl Shaman held his cane and performed the Wind Field for everyone.
The entire venue was bustling with excitement.
Meanwhile, the King of Chuqiu sat calmly on a nearby hillside, guarding their peace.
Just as Qiqi was immersed in this wonderful atmosphere, a gunshot rang out on the grassland not far away.
"It's a Hilichurl! Brothers, get ready to charge!"
A group of hunters stood on the grassland, their eyes turning red the moment they saw the Hilichurls.
"It was them who killed our brother! Brothers, let's go and avenge him!"
The silver-haired middle-aged man, Ah Yin, who was leading the group, raised his hunting rifle menacingly and fired a shot at the nearest Chuqiu King.
"Ouch!" The Chuchu King was unable to dodge in time and was hit in the right arm by a shotgun bullet.
Upon hearing the commotion, the Hilichurls immediately went into battle mode.
They had no idea what had gotten into the humans in front of them, that they were coming to cause trouble.
However, they injured their leader, King Chuchu, which is unforgivable!
And so, the Hilichurls excitedly grabbed the sticks and crossbows on the ground and charged forward.
"No, fighting...!"
Qiqi looked helplessly at the chaos before her, feeling very distressed.
Why did they fight? What happened?
Qiqi couldn't just sit and watch them fight, so she wanted to step forward and reason with them.
When the group of middle-aged men saw a little girl approaching, they temporarily pointed their guns downwards, and the Hilichurls also paused their attack.
"Why are you fighting?"
Qiqi stared at Ayin with a puzzled look in her eyes, her gaze filled with longing and yearning for peace.
"Hmph, little girl, it's dangerous here. Don't meddle in other people's business, get out of here right now!"
After saying that, Ah Yin raised her gun again and signaled her accomplices to pull Qi Qi to the back so as not to hurt her.
"Brothers, we must avenge our little brother!"
"They are good people! Don't hurt them..."
Qiqi hung her head and tightly held the hand of a middle-aged man with brown hair, Ah Zong, trying to persuade them not to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
Ah Zong sighed and looked at Qi Qi, who was as tall as his child. Not wanting Qi Qi to see this bloody scene, he personally pulled her away.
"Big brother, you guys go first, I'll pull this child away!"
Despite Qiqi's desperate struggle, Ah Zong still managed to drag her away.
As soon as Qiqi was pulled away, the group picked up their weapons and launched another attack.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three shots rang out across the valley, and the Hill Cubs halted their advance.
It was the Hilichurl King, who was standing at the very front, who fell!
The Chuchu King lay weakly on the ground, struggling to raise its hand to cover its bleeding wound, the pain preventing it from making a sound.
It was easy to see its pain from its face covered in sweat.
After seeing their leader fall to the ground, the Hilichurls were even more determined to fight back.
The Wind Sorcerer Shaman unleashed his full power with a powerful wind field, blowing away all the weapons of the middle-aged men.
Immediately afterwards, the Hilichurls used water arrows and ice arrows in combination to freeze the middle-aged people.
