I Built a Home on the Back of the Black Tortoise

Chapter 44: Blood Beard’s madness.

At night.

At the foot of a hill, the bonfire burned very strong.

Two thieves, one tall and one short, were on watch on the hill and were looking around.

“Boss is furious this time. He didn’t expect to be deceived by that small camp.” The short thief whispered.

The tall thief glanced at the bonfire under the hill and lowered his voice, “Who says no? The two poor scouts were killed on the spot.”

“Fortunately, the leader of the tracker went with him, and when he smelled it, he knew it was left days ago, or else we’d have to foolishly chase them down.”

“We’re going back tomorrow, so let’s hope we can share a little more water this time.”

“Huh? Look, there’s a light in the distance.” The short thief padded his feet and pointed to a bright light emanating from the darkness in the distance.

The tall thief shot a glance and warned, “Don’t look. Don’t be too curious about those lights. You’ll die.”

“Why? Maybe there’s someone over there. Let’s go grab it?” The short Thief eagerly encouraged him.

“Do you want to die?”

The tall thief said, “The beasts at night are very scary, and they are also very smart, some bright lights are made by the beasts to attract prey.”

“Really?” The short thief jumped in shock.

“Just you wait, that light will be gone soon.” The tall thief snickered.

“Huh? It’s really gone.”

“Am I right? Perhaps the beast that emitted that light is as big as a hill.”

“I know, you don’t have to say anything.”

The night fell silent again.

The next day, the sky was not bright.

The Blood Beard bandits then gathered and headed for the main camp once again.

All the way on a sharp march, the atmosphere was very depressing, Blood Beard had thrown several tantrums, wounding many people.

Even the Night Jackal and Tracker, two head captains, did not dare to offend Blood Beard’s temper.

In the evening, when they returned to the valley, they saw Blood Blade leading two hundred people waiting.

“What are you doing out here? Who’s guarding the house?” Blood Beard’s face darkened, and his hand was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

If the answer did not satisfy him, he would send the son to lie down for a few days.

“Father, the cultivation room is gone.”

Blood Blade shrank in fear and said bitterly, “The cultivation room was infiltrated by thieves and important things were stolen.”

“What? Where’s the crystal fish?” Bloodbeard’s beard exploded with anger, and as he grabbed Blood Knife’s collar, and his saliva sprayed onto his son’s face.

“Also, also gone.”

Faced with his father’s murderous gaze, Blood Knife replied stiffly, “Only, only some water and dried meat were left.”

“SMACK!!!”

Blood Beard smacked his son three to four meters away.

Crystal fish was the root of the thieves’ group and the core resource for the formation of the thieves’ group.

Without the crystal fish, the bandit group would sooner or later fall apart and everyone would not be convinced of his rule.

If Blood Knife wasn’t Blood Beard’s only son, he would have cut him on the spot.

“Get the hell out of here.” Blood Beard chased away the surrounding people, leaving behind the four-headed leader and Blood Knife.

He did not even enter the valley, but sat on the stone by the side of the road.

Bloodbeard said ruthlessly, “Tell me exactly what’s going on.”

“The night before yesterday, the thief climbed up from behind the hill. After entering, he even blocked the door.”

Blood Knife covered his swollen face and said in a muffled voice, “Yesterday we pried open the gate and found that the thieves had left, and we searched the entire camp but no one was found.”

“How can you be so stupid? Someone who can climb up from the hill would hide in the camp for you to catch?”

Blood Beard stared with his blood-red pupils, and his temper was a little unbearable.

Sly Fox, one of the four leaders, persuaded,” Boss, the most important thing now is to track down the thief.”

“Yes, the thief must not have gone far, we should still be able to catch up.” The tracker followed and persuaded.

In addition, the thief had already left for two days, but no one dared to say that they could not catch up to the thief.

“Hoo hoo…… what did the thief leave behind?” Blood Beard gasped and suppressed his temper.

“Leave some white rope.” The blood knife pulls out a white and a bit transparent rope from the pocket.

“Tracer, it’s all yours.” Blood Beard tossed the rope to the tracker.

“Yes.” The tracker took the white rope and began to place it in front of his nose and sniffed.

When he finished sniffing, he suddenly met a scent in his memory and said in astonishment, “Boss, this scent is the same as the one left behind by the people in the small camp.”

“Are you saying that the people who lured us over at that little camp are the same people who stole from me?” Blood Bard’s eyebrows rose.

“Yes, the residual scent was left by the same person.” The tracker said with great certainty.

“Very good, they actually plotted against me.”

Blood Beard grinned sinisterly, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. He said hoarsely, “Chase after me. I want to see what kind of person dares to tease me like this.”

“Yes.” The tracker said respectfully.

He looked up and sniffed in the air, and again sniffed the white rope in his hand.

“Here are some more ropes.” Blood Knife immediately had someone bring over all the white ropes collected.

“Sniff~~” After the tracker smelled it, his expression changed dramatically.

Bloodbeard said coldly, “Tell me if you find anything.”

“Yes, there are two smells in the rope, one very faint.” The tracker looked grave.

He said again with a hint of consternation, “The remaining kind of smell is very strong, and it doesn’t smell like a human being.”

“I don’t care if it’s human or not.”

Bloodbeard growled impatiently, “I only asked if you can catch up.”

“Yes, smelling the strong smell of the rope, I can catch the traces of the other side.” The tracker was confident.

As a mutant, he had a dog-like sense of smell and could catch the scent left by people as long as it was not more than three days old.

“Go and bring out all the water and meat, and let everyone eat and leave.” Blood Beard went crazy.

He decided to take a band of more than 500 thieves and chase the thieves through the night.

With the crystal fish gone, he could hardly afford to raise the thieves.

If they could take back the crystal fish, it would be easier to manage.

“Yes.” Blood Knife led the men to carry meat and water.
