Tomb raiding: Today is another day I don't want to go home.

Chapter 89 Disintegration

"Ah Xu? What are you doing here?"

Yanmeng had just finished cleaning his wounds and was about to go find some food when he saw Yanxu standing alone on the outskirts of the rest stop, holding his head in his hands, not knowing what he was doing.

"Ah!? I..." Yan Xu was clearly startled. He hurriedly stood up, but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Yan Meng. "I'm fine, I'm just feeling dizzy. Where are you going?"

"I'm going to find something to eat. You go over there and rest for a while. You don't look well."

"Okay, then be careful."

"Hmm!" Yan Meng was carefree and quickly forgot about Yan Xu's unusual behavior. When he returned, Yan Xu had already fallen asleep leaning against a tree trunk.

With a smile, Yanmeng first distributed the raw meat of the animals he had hunted to the other tribesmen, while he saved Yanxu's share for last.

"Ah Xu?" Yan Meng sat down next to Yan Xu and gently nudged the latter's shoulder. "Ah Xu, wake up and have something to eat?"

"Hmm?" Yan Xu's head was spinning, and his face was paler than usual. He frowned and barely opened his eyes, only to see a damp and bare forest.

"Wake up, you should be leaving after you finish eating," Yanmeng said with worry and heartache in his eyes. He pursed his lips and coaxed, "If you really can't, you can finish eating first, and I'll carry you on my back when we leave."

Yan Xu glanced at Yan Meng, finding it somewhat amusing: "It's not that bad..."

He reached out and took the raw meat from Yanmeng, then awkwardly turned around. From an angle he thought Yanmeng couldn't see, Yanxu ate the raw meat, cleaned the blood, and finally returned to his proper posture. He performed the series of actions with great skill, which made Yanmeng chuckle to himself.

However, this warmth after the life-and-death struggle didn't last long, because Yan Chen's voice came from not far away: "Let's go!"

Although Yan Chen's voice was low, it easily reached the ears of every member of the tribe. They really should leave...

Meanwhile, the Wang family, who had quickly closed the distance, would pass through a basin on their way to the Qilian Mountains. The town in the area with its dense rivers was called Golmud, which would make it convenient for them to replenish their energy and supplies.

"Master, something terrible has happened!" After being allowed to pass by the guards of the Wang family, Yanqi rushed into the spacious tent. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his words were somewhat slurred. "They... they're about to leave..."

Although Wang Tong had expected this, he still couldn't help but frown upon hearing it. He slammed down his teacup and walked out, muttering as he went, "Keep chasing!"

"Yes!"

In just a few minutes, Yan Chen and his group had completely left the Qilian Mountains. In contrast, the Wang family was much slower, and with the snowy weather, it was practically impossible for them to catch up with the Azure Dragon that could transform and take flight.

With a gloomy expression, Wang Tong glanced at Yan Qi not far away, raised his hand and beckoned him over: "Yan Qi, come here!"

"Master?" Yanqi approached obediently on the surface, but inwardly he felt a little uneasy. "What are your orders?"

"Aren't all members of your Azure Dragon clan capable of transforming into human form? Why can't you?"

Yan Qi's face stiffened, a flash of hatred crossing his eyes. He lowered his head: "Because... I was born without a dragon tail..." Unable to transform, and unable to take flight...

Wang Tong was somewhat surprised to hear this. He hadn't expected it to be for this reason. After all, Yan Qi had been following Gu Ling before. Even if he wasn't given important responsibilities, he shouldn't have betrayed the Canglong Clan. That's why he had always been on guard. But now... since he was also a cripple, let's make the most of him!

"Since you can sense your brother, can your brother sense you?"

Caught off guard by the question, Yan Qi's gaze involuntarily darted away. He noticed Wang Tong's ambiguous expression and lied, "No, only I can sense him!"

"Really?" Wang Tong didn't care whether Yan Qi's words were true or false. Whether he could sense it or not, he would have to try to find out.

The next second, accompanied by Yanqi's scream in the group, an arm fell to the snow. It rolled haphazardly a few times, the deep red blood gradually diluting and spreading across the pure white surface...

Meanwhile, Yan Xu, who was far above Tianshui, seemed to sense something. A sudden, inexplicable palpitation made him slightly distracted. He was very familiar with this feeling. From childhood to adulthood, he would have a similar feeling every time his younger brother got into trouble and was punished. However, this time, it was stronger than ever before.

Yan Qi is not dead, but he is in danger... This realization instantly extinguished Yan Xu's excitement. Ignoring Yan Meng's concerned questions from the side, he went straight to Yan Chen, who was leading the way.

"Yanchen! My brother isn't dead, but he's in great danger. I have to go save him!"

Yanqi? Yanchen stopped. He remembered that this man was one of the clansmen who had volunteered to go to the Southwest Camp with his wife. He didn't expect him to still be alive.

At this moment, none of the clansmen present knew that Yan Qi had betrayed the Azure Dragon Clan. He and Yan Xu were twin brothers and could sense each other's affairs. Everyone knew this, and Yan Xu's expression did not seem fake. They simply assumed that Yan Qi had escaped with his life by sheer luck.

"It's too dangerous for you to go alone. Let Yanmeng take a few people with you, but don't act rashly. Make sure you understand the situation before you act. Once I've settled the clan leader in the Qinling Mountains, I'll come and meet up with you."

"it is good!"

Yan Xu knew this was Yan Chen's biggest concession. Otherwise, given the current situation, anyone who left the team might never return. The Wang family would definitely still be relentlessly pursuing them, and the crisis of the Canglong clan had not yet been resolved. However, Yan Qi had to be saved; that was his younger brother.

Yan Chen frowned as he watched Yan Xu and the others leave. He wondered if his decision would send them to their deaths. But at that moment, he was selfish. His words were the most generous decision he could make. Not only in his mind, but also in his heart, he was absolutely certain that Yan Huai was the most important person to him, and he wanted him to live as well.

Sensing the subtle gloom and discontent within the team, Yan Chen pursed his lips. Even a saint couldn't treat everyone equally, let alone him.

"Let's go..."

Yan Chen turned his head and nudged Yan Huai on his back with his dragon horn, allowing him to be completely hidden inside his mane, before continuing to dash into the cold wind carrying snowflakes.

The Azure Dragon clan is born unaffected by harsh natural environments, but Yan Chen still doesn't want Yan Huai to be tainted by any cold air.

A few minutes later, Yan Chen and his group finally arrived at the outskirts of the Qinling Mountains. Unlike the snowy weather they had encountered along the way, this place felt gentle and beautiful, with plenty of greenery, which seemed out of place in winter.

"Your mission is now complete... Everyone, I, Yan Chen, am sorry!" Yan Chen, carrying the unconscious Yan Huai, knelt before the crowd. The Canglong Clan can now be described as collapsing. The remaining less than one hundred clansmen can only hide in various places and wait for the storm to pass before regrouping. This is the best way.

"Yanchen!"

"What are you doing!?"

Everyone was startled, and after realizing what had happened, they hurriedly moved away. The hierarchy of the Azure Dragon Clan was extremely strict, especially the clan chief system, which was the most revered. At this moment, Yan Huai was on Yan Chen's back, and when the latter knelt down, Yan Huai also lowered his head. Oh dear...

"From now on, the Azure Dragon Clan will have no more honor, no more servility..." Yan Huai's weak voice slowly drifted out, his eyes half-closed, filled with crimson light.

The clan leader is awake? That's good... This is the first good thing that happened today.

The Azure Dragon Clan members couldn't help but think the same way. As for the future, they would just take it one step at a time. As long as they were alive, that was enough.
