C275 – A Bad Feeling

Posted on October 9, 2018 by AzureOrchid92

The two men, the Shaman and Shao Xuan, kept talking about the concerns raised by the three men opposite them.

Ao felt it was funny, so he did not interrupt Shao Xuan and the Shaman’s talk. He was having fun looking at the three opposite people’s change of expressions. Still posing? Who do you think you are?

“What does our enmity with the Wanshi tribe have to do with the other tribes? Why would these three not let us fight with them?” Shao Xuan asked.

“It was said that we will going to have trouble,” said the Shaman, sighing.

“How much trouble?” Shao Xuan asked again.

The Shaman sighed again, “Very big.”

“Then, what if we still attack?” Shao Xuan asked.

This time, not waiting for the Shaman to reply, Huang Ye finally found it unbearable.

“I advise you not to go to war with the Wanshi tribe. It is for your own good! If you really want a war with them, the disadvantage will be on you! We just gave a good reminder! Do you really think we’re going to take care of you?” Huang Ye endured for a time, however, he could not endure anymore so he directly roared to scold them. The people of the Flaming Horns tribe were as they say, stubborn! Ignorant!

“Is it because of the slave owner?” Shao Xuan suddenly said.

“…” Huang Ye’s burst of anger seemed like it was directly estinguished by this big fan. This person who thought that the Flaming Horns tribe only knew how to solve the problem with brute force, did not want to hear this sentence from Shao Xuan.

Even the Eight Limbs tribe and Feather tribe were also surprised that they raised their chins.

Not only these three, the Shaman and the chief, as well as the two team leaders were startled. They really didn’t know that. Although it was very uncomfortable for the other tribes to meddle in their own war, they knew for sure that there was a reason, but never thought it was Shao Xuan who would suddenly say such words.

“Was the Wanshi tribe standing behind them?” Shao Xuan asked again.

There was silence in the room.

Even the stunned Huang Ye, still with a cold expression, did not utter a sound.

“I knew it.” Shao Xuan nodded. “Let’s talk about the second thing, then. What is going on with this special expedition team?”

This sudden transition from Shao Xuan managed to bring back the others’ concerns, Huang Ye and the other two looked at Shao Xuan. “What do you mean, ‘I knew it’?”

You know, and then what? Do you agree not to go to war for the time being? Or not? Give us a reply! Why the change of subject?

Huang Ye didn’t want to talk. He actually had a lot of things to say, wanting to learn more about this uppity boy. But he can’t say it as he was in a panic.

Still with a smiling face, Qiu Gu took care of the conversation, “We organize such a long journey team. One is to let you these young people communicate with each other. After all, now is not the same as the chaotic era full of revenge. It’s good be more knowledgeable. The second thing was as Shao Xuan had mentioned. Most of the tribe’s knowledge of the slave owners was very limited. Hence, the formation of such a travel team was also to let our people understand the threat of the slave owners.”

From what Qiu Gu had said, Shao Xuan only believed thirty percent. But he was able to identify that the central tribes were indeed united to guard against the slave owners.

Among the slave owners, Shao Xuan had only met Shi Shu and had not seen the others. But, to be able to make the big central tribes so afraid, they certainly have their reasons.

“I will join.” Shao Xuan said.

Qiu Gu looked at Shao Xuan in the eye, light flashing in his squinted eyes. “This is not a rushed up, long journey team. Not everyone can join, the strength must be recognized by the other people in the team.”

They knew that the Flaming Horns tribe was indeed strong, there was no objection. However, now was not the same era after all. Did the Flaming Horns tribe still have their combat prowess? With this, they were skeptical. Looking at the state of life in the tribe, they were questioning whether the Flaming Horns tribe had regressed. When all the other tribes were ascending, these people were retreating. Then, how could they trust the ability of the Flaming Horns tribe? Therefore, they decided to come over to the tribe to see. It made them rather curious because of the records left by the ancestors. However, they were disappointed.

“There is one more thing I want to remind you. In this expedition team, with each trip, the number of casualties were many. The death of more than half was not unusual!” said Qiu Gu.

Mentioning this, whether it was Qiu Gu, Huang Ye or Gu Zhi, left a heavy feeling for their tribes.

More than half dead, not just half injured. The basic form of the big central tribes’ travel team, unexpectedly, had such a high death rate, showing the travel difficulties encountered.

The Shaman’s complexion changed. They would rather not participate in such a travel team, especially not wanting for Shao Xuan to have an accident.

When the Shaman was about to say something, they heard a “gu~” sound. In the quiet room, it was very clear, moreover, the people sitting in the room have quite good hearing.

“Cough.. Presumably everyone is hungry, so let’s stop today and continue tomorrow.” Shao Xuan said.

The three people look at each other, then nodded. “Ok.”

“If that’s the case, then let’s continue tomorrow.” Ao rose from his seat.

They needed to have a good talk about this. Besides, the time was really late now.

They let Ta and Gui He lead Huang Ye and the other people to rest, while Ao was with the Shaman and Shao Xuan as they went together to the Shaman’s stone house.

Shao Xuan asked for a piece of jerky from Ao, so his hunger was temporarily resolved. Waiting until they reached the Shaman’s house, he did not answer their doubts, but told them what he had found in the mountains, the ancestors and the records of “history”.

With this, the Shaman and the chief ignored the other issues. What Wanshi tribe, what expedition team, what slave owner? For them, compared to the ancestors and the “history” of the Flaming Horns tribe, all the others had to be pushed to the back.

That evening, the two team leaders and ten hunting team leaders were all summoned by Ao to a meeting. In the list of hunting warriors, they selected fifty people and the leaders spoke to them. They had a day to prepare, then, the day after tomorrow, they would follow Shao Xuan to the Ferocious Beast Mountain forest to bring back the ancestors’ remains and their precious “history”.

The next day, Huang Ye and the two people met with the Shaman, the chief and the young elder again to continue yesterday’s unfinished discussion. However, the three soon found that the chief of the Flaming Horns tribe had his eyes wandering while the Shaman seemed out of sorts. It was only Shao Xuan who was talking to them about the details regarding the travel team and the slave owner.

At noon, the matter has been discussed, with the Flaming Horns tribe’s Shao Xuan choosing to join for the other people to discuss again. Anyway, the travel team’s time to start the journey has not yet arrived. This did not dwell for long in the minds of the Shaman and the chief, since it was already decided and naturally a foregone conclusion.

As to how to be recognized in order to join the travel team, Shao Xuan was confident. He just had to find a person who has been determined to be included in the travel team to fight for the position. Because tomorrow, they had to leave for the forest, this matter must be solved today, who to look for?

Shao Xuan turned to the area the tribe arranged for the visitors, his eyes sweeping back and forth.

While Shao Xuan was selecting his target, Huang Ye and the other two were also discussing.

“This tribe’s people were acting strange today.” Huang Ye said.

“What is it that they haven’t told us? Did they forget our advice and still want to fight the Wanshi tribe now?” Feather tribe’s Gu Zhi said.

“No, that shouldn’t be it.” Qiu Gu thought a little, then said to Gu Zhi, “How was the birds you brought with you?”

Speaking of the birds, although the team leader of the Flaming Horns tribe had a fierce beast level white falcon, it could not necessarily be able to block all the birds they brought with them. Aside from the two they had visible, there were other two who were lurking very well.

Gu Zhi took out a long bone flute in his hand, then blew loudly.

However, after blowing for a long while, the two who were visible looked like they had a fight with the Flaming Horns’ white falcon, their feathers messy. Meanwhile, they were very concerned about the two birds in hiding as they still did not see their shadows.

Huang Ye suddenly said, “Don’t you remember, the Flaming Horns tribe actually has a mountain eagle? It was said that the eagle of another tribe was easily defeated by this mountain eagle.”

“…” Gu Zhi had a bad feeling.

At the same time, in another mountain peak not far from the edge of the Flaming Horns tribe, Chacha’s paw was pressed against a struggling bird on the ground, the other paw stepping down.

You’re still calling out? Then, I’ll step on you again!

When the bird Chacha was holding down could not call out anymore, not far from the place was another bird who was trampled and had fainted. Its feathers were pulled out as it lay there motionless, breathing its last breath.

Note: Chacha was too fierce! ❤ Got his targets before Shao Xuan selected his!

Anyway, this will probably be the last time I’ll release five chapters on the same day. (・_・;)
