Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2126 (Two Thousand One Hundred and Twenty Six)
Tie Wandao said: "The situation is different now, but I have the same dignity as always."

The subordinate immediately echoed Tie Wandao's words and said, "Yes, the clan leader has dignity and is always consistent. It will not be directly affected by... by a certain event. If sometimes because... because of different circumstances, some things can no longer be done... that incident will not have the slightest impact on the clan leader's dignity!"

After hearing what his subordinate said, Tie Wandao felt a little more balanced and said, "You really know how to talk."

The subordinate said, "I... I am the chief's subordinate... I will be... I will be influenced by the chief to some extent. Even if I couldn't speak before, even if I am dull, I will make progress under the chief's influence."

Tie Wandao said, "Did you try your best to do what I asked you to do? For example, when I asked you to take something, although I knew it was not easy to take, did you try your best?"

The subordinate knew that Tie Wandao had made it clear that he wanted him to take the mat, and he was a little scared, so he said, "I will do whatever the clan leader asks me to do... I will try my best!"

Tie Wandao said: "But you have been standing here without taking any action."

The subordinate asked: "How...how do I act?"

Tie Wandao said seriously, "At least let me see that you want to do something but can't do it! What about the mat? I asked you to take it, but you should let me see you do it. Whether you have done it or not is another matter. Otherwise, where will I put my face?"

The subordinate knew that he had to get close to the cave entrance no matter what, otherwise he didn't know how Tie Wandao would punish him, so he quickly said: "Oh, I'm... just about to do it! I was just concentrating on talking to the tribe leader just now. I respect the tribe leader very much, and I think it's not good to talk to the tribe leader while doing something else... Then... Then I'll do it now!"

After hearing this, Tie Wandao felt more comfortable. He thought to himself: Even if he can't take it out, he gave me this face, so I don't have to punish him.

Although he had thought so, in order to show his authority, he still said: "Hurry up and let me see your attitude, and I won't punish you."

When the subordinate heard the word "punishment", he was really frightened. He immediately squatted down beside the hole where the black bug dragged the mat in, squinting his eyes to take a closer look. He squinted his eyes not because he could see more clearly, but because he was really scared. He saw that half of the black bug's body was exposed outside the hole, and he didn't know whether he would affect the black bug if he approached the hole.

He thought: If the black bug itself has something to do with ghosts, will I offend "someone" by being so close to it? The hole is not big. If I reach out and take away the mat, will the black bug have such a reaction?
Just as he was thinking about it, the other half of the black insect's body also entered the cave.

In order to show Tie Wandao, he moved to the side, with his back to Tie Wandao, thinking that his back could block Tie Wandao's sight, so that Tie Wandao could not see the situation of the black hole. He stretched out his right hand, moved his hand very close to the black hole, and leaned his body, showing that he really wanted to take the mat out of the black hole.

Suddenly, the thick black worm stepped back and half of its body was out of the cave again.

The subordinate exclaimed "Ouch" and retracted his hand.

At this time, the black insect used its two sharp legs to kick backwards one after another, kicking the small lump of earth at the entrance of the hole.
