Before his eyes, on a nearby open ground, stood a wooden stake surrounded by patches of black, seemingly scorched by fire.
A hint of gloom passed through Hai Qin's eyes, and he dragged the chieftain of the Sky Swallowing Python Clan towards the stake.
"Ajue!"
Ajue nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a golden rope, seemingly possessing a life of its own, flew towards the chieftain of the Sky Swallowing Python Clan and tied him tightly to the stake.
The tribe members peered around and gasped at the sight.
Hai Qin glanced at them and then at Ajue, "I'm going to fetch Aqi. You watch them here."
"Sure."
Hai Qin sprinted towards the hidden cave entrance, peeled back the bushes, and found Aqi still sound asleep inside.
She was curled up tightly, clutching herself closely. Whether she touched her wounds or something else caused her pain, she twitched from time to time.
