Your warriors die beneath the knives and clubs of the Wazdon; your hunters are taken by ja and jato; no day goes by but witnesses the deaths of few or many in the villages of the Ho-don, and one death each day of those that die are the toll which Jad-ben-Otho has exacted for the lives you take upon the eastern altar. What greater sign of his displeasure could you require, O stupid priest?"
It was the smile of a strong and wicked man who knows his power not a pleasant smile at all. "I will leave, Pan-at-lee," he said; "but you shall go with me to the cave of Es-sat, the chief, to be the envied of the shes of Kor-ul-ja. Come!" "Never!" cried Pan-at-lee. "I hate you. Sooner would I mate with a Ho-don than with you, beater of women, murderer of babes."
The Waz-don have no cities they live in the trees of the forests and the caves of the hills is it not so, black man?" he concluded, turning toward the hairy giant beside him. "Yes," replied Om-at, "We Waz-don are free only the Hodon imprison themselves in cities. I would not be a white man!" Tarzan smiled. Even here was the racial distinction between white man and black man Ho-don and Waz-don.
Tarzan held a club in either hand and, swinging one he hurled it at a warrior before him and as the man dodged he rushed in and seized him, at the same time casting his second club at another of his opponents. The Ho-don with whom he grappled reached instantly for his knife but the ape-man grasped his wrist.
Near the entrance to Kor-ul-lul they came upon another body of their warriors with which were several Waz-don prisoners from the tribe of Kor-ul-lul. It was a raiding party come up from a Ho-don city of the valley after slaves. This Pan-at-lee knew for the occurrence was by no means unusual.
The beast that held her crouched and the creature that faced it crouched also, and growled as hideously as the other. Pan-at-lee trembled. This was no Ho-don and though she feared the Ho-don she feared this thing more, with its catlike crouch and its beastly growls. She was lost that Pan-at-lee knew. The two things might fight for her, but whichever won she was lost.
Nevertheless, the ape-man gave a good account of himself, being presently urged to redoubled efforts by the fact that the Waz-don above Ta-den glanced down and discovered his pursuers just before the Ho-don overtook him.
