Chapter 90: The World of Beasts: The Fake Priestess Is Really Cultivating Immortality
The night was as dark as ink, and the moonlight sprinkled on the high ground of the Eagle Tribe, covering this quiet land with a layer of silver gauze.
Liu Shiwen stood in front of Fangyan Cave, feeling nervous and expectant. She knew that tonight was the critical moment for her and Yingtan to escape from the tribe.
Yingtan stood beside her, his face also showing a solemn look.
He knew that this action was extremely risky, but he still decided to help Liu Shiwen. He looked at her deeply, then turned and walked out of the room.
Liu Shiwen took a deep breath and tidied her clothes and hair.
She didn't want to look too embarrassed while escaping.
She picked up the package she had prepared, which contained some of her necessities and some tools that might be useful.
She quietly opened the door, stuck her head out and looked around.
After making sure no one was paying attention, she quickly walked out of the room and headed towards the agreed location.
Since she had been behaving well recently, there was no one guarding the door; after all, they still needed to hunt to feed their family.
Yingtan was already waiting for her there. When he saw her coming, a smile appeared on his face. He stretched out his hand and motioned Liu Shiwen to follow him.
The two men walked through the tribe's streets, avoiding the patrolling tribesmen.
They came to the edge of the tribe, where there was a dense forest.
Yingtan took Liu Shiwen into the woods and they began to walk down the mountain.
The night in the woods grew darker, with only the occasional chirping of insects and rustling of leaves breaking the silence.
Liu Shiwen followed Yingtan closely, her palms full of sweat. She knew that if she was discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.
Yingtan's flying ability is excellent. He took Liu Shiwen through the woods and avoided many obstacles.
They soon arrived at the foot of the mountain, where there was a wide meadow.
"Let's say goodbye here." Yingtan said, pointing to a mountain in the distance.
"Not far behind that mountain is the territory of the snake tribe. You will be safe once you get there."
Liu Shiwen looked at him with gratitude in her heart. She knew that she was able to escape successfully this time thanks to the help of Yingtan.
"Thank you, Yingtan," she said, her voice choking a little.
"Why don't you come with me? What will you do if they find out I'm missing?"
She was a little worried, after all, he was her man.
Yingtan smiled and said nothing.
He turned around and prepared to leave, but at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came. They looked up and saw a group of Eagle people rushing towards them.
Liu Shiwen and Yingtan's faces changed.
They knew that their whereabouts had been discovered.
"Run!" Yingtan shouted, pulling Liu Shiwen's hand, and ran down the mountain.
However, Liu Shiwen did not have the flying ability of the Eagle people after all, and Yingtan was soon caught up with the burden, and a group of Eagle people surrounded them.
Falcon walked forward with a sneer on his face.
"Well, you two actually wanted to escape." He said, with a hint of anger in his voice, "Yingtan, my good son, you dare to betray the tribe and help the goddess escape!"
Yingtan didn't say anything, he just stood silently beside Liu Shiwen, protecting her.
"Chief Falcon, I don't mean to betray the tribe."
Liu Shiwen said, her voice was trembling but full of determination.
"I just want to go back to my hometown, to the tiger tribe and the snake tribe."
"Return to the Tiger and Snake tribes?" Falcon sneered.
"Do you think we will let you go? You are a goddess. We, the Eagle Tribe, need you. You can't leave!"
When Liu Shiwen heard this, she felt despair.
She knew that she couldn't convince Falcon to let her go now.
She could only hope that Yingtan would find an opportunity to take her away.
However, Yingtan did not move. He stood there, silently enduring the rage of the falcon.
"Tan'er, you really disappoint me." Yingshun said, waving his hand and signaling his men to take Liu Shiwen away.
Liu Shiwen was escorted away by several Eagle tribe members.
She looked back at Yingtan and saw helplessness and guilt in his eyes.
She knew that the escape attempt had failed.
Liu Shiwen returned here again, feeling extremely depressed, and smashed things in the house to vent her anger.
She leaned against the wall, her heart filled with despair. She knew that she had become a prisoner of the Eagle Clan and it was almost impossible for her to escape again.
Meanwhile, Yingtan was also brought back to the tribe. He was brought before Yingshuan and questioned by the tribe leader.
"Tan'er, you really disappoint me." Yingshun said, with a hint of anger and disappointment in his tone.
"As the young leader of the Eagle Tribe, you actually helped outsiders escape from the tribe. Do you know what this crime is?"
Yingtan lowered his head and said nothing. He knew that his behavior this time had indeed violated the clan rules.
"Do you know you are wrong?" asked the falcon.
Yingtan raised his head, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
"I know I was wrong," he said.
"But father, I don't want to make her sad."
Ying Falcon's face darkened when he heard this. He didn't expect Ying Tan to say such a thing.
"She is a goddess!" said Falcon. "We the Eagle Tribe need her strength and wisdom. If you let her go, you are betraying the tribe!"
Yingtan didn't say anything. He just silently endured Yingshun's anger. He knew that no matter what he said, he couldn't change Yingshun's mind.
"Someone, come and lock up Yingtan!" Yingshun said, with a hint of coldness in his voice.
Yingtan was taken away from Yingshun and put into another cell.
Yingtan leaned against the wall, his heart filled with guilt and self-blame.
On the other side, Liu Shiwen spent her days in the room like years. Every day she thought about how to escape from this place, but every time she thought of Yingtan being imprisoned here, she felt heartache and guilt.
She knew that this incident was a big blow to Yingtan, and he might even be severely punished.
Liu Shiwen decided that she must find a way to rescue Yingtan no matter what. She knew that only he could help her escape from the tribe.
The most important thing now is to gain the trust of the Eagle Tribe and earn more merits, so that we can have confidence.
And only after gaining the trust of the Eagle Tribe can he find a chance to escape and get in touch with Snake Pattern and Tiger Stone.
Believe that they will not give up on you, they will find you soon and rescue you.
With such a beautiful wish in mind, Liu Shiwen gradually fell asleep.
