Chapter 173 – Such strength
Translated by Joycelyn
Flaming Horns tribe!
Among the people living in the wanderers area, there were a few that were quite familiar with Yan Shuo. They had been hunting in the mountains together, so naturally they had heard of the ‘Flaming Horns tribe’ from Yan Shuo before. But at that time they had all thought Yan Shuo was crazy, that he was unwilling to face reality. Even if the Flaming Horns tribe still existed, no one had heard of it, so it would also be a small tribe.
The appearance and destruction of small tribes happens everyday. Even if the Flaming Horns tribe flame of Yan Shuo was still burning, it probably wouldn’t last for much longer right?
However, it seems that how it actually was was not the same as the way they thought it would be.
Could a young man from a small tribe have this kind of power? With no difficulty at all, he had just defeated the slave with the snake to the point that he couldn’t even twitch; a slave that had given them countless troubles.
Could a small tribe have an eagle even bigger than an adult? Looking at the miserably torn up snake, they already knew that this eagle was not only enormous, but its claws could even stab someone to death.
Tribe, a word that made people envious.
Initially, everyone had thought that Yan Shuo and his family would be slaughtered by that slave, but who would have thought that things would turn out the way they were now.
If you have a tribe, then you would naturally have a place to go back to.
Their totem flame still burns.
Yan Shuo’s days of hardships are over, they have reached the end.
What the others understood, naturally Yan Shuo had as well. Only, things had happened so abruptly that he had totally no idea how to react to it.
Since he was young, he had always imagined that one day he could return to the Flaming Horns tribe that his ancestors always mentioned. During every single battle, he would think, ‘Flaming Horns tribe, what kind of place will it be? How are the people there? Is the tribe big or small? Are the totem warriors there strong?’
And now, he looked at this person in front of him who was a lot younger than him, who had already solved the trouble before he himself could even lift a hand. Then turning to look over at the huge bird pulling off the snake flesh, he could feel himself choking from excitement, he was at a complete loss.
Shao Xuan’s attention turned to Yan Shuo, then it turned over to the three people in the house. Those were Yan Shuo’s wife and children. He looked once again at the not-too-small-yet-not-too-big wooden house that looked like it may just topple over at any moment, and he sighed. Looks like this member of his tribe was not living too well.
He was also a wanderer.
Since he was a wanderer, this just says that there was none of the ‘Flaming Horns tribe’ he had wanted to find over here. That year when the tribe had split up, Shao Xuan did not know what had happened. But now was not the time to question about this.
He fished out some dried meat from his beast skin bag, stuffed them into Yan Shuo’s hands, then glimpsed over to the three in the house once more. Shao Xuan motioned Yan Shuo to first go and comfort his shocked wife and children.
Yan Shuo’s wooden hut couldn’t be lived in anymore, however Shao Xuan had water moonstones with him. Everything can be solved if he just pays a little remuneration. As for the future…. What will happen in the future, he needed to have a good talk with Yan Shuo later.
Yan Shuo’s hands quivered with the dried meat that Shao Xuan had given. With a entranced look he walked to his house and almost stumbled into the wooden wall that was overturned.
Yan Shuo’s wife had already wiped off the tears on her face. She tightly grabbed onto Yan Shuo’s hands and excitedly exclaimed, “It really exists, the Flaming Horns tribe really exists!”
Because her previous generations were all wanderers as well, Yan Shuo’s wife had never thought of ever joining a tribe. Being different from Yan Shuo’s situation, her tribe was already exterminated long ago. She was someone whose totem flame was really completely extinguished and became a wanderer. And now, Yan Shuo had found the Flaming Horns tribe and was able to join them, naturally she could also follow.
Their bitter days are finally at their end!
The couple was extremely excited. It was Yan Shuo’s wife that had recovered the fastest, planning to invite Shao Xuan in, but thinking about the situation her house was in now, she felt a little awkward. She had also seen Shao Xuan’s actions, and had restrained herself when facing him. That was a real totem warrior.
“No problem, sister in law, you don’t need to worry, I will sit here for a while by myself.” Saying so, Shao Xuan scoured the surrounding. Originally he was thinking of pulling over two wooden boards and standing them up by laying them against each other [/\] to use as a stool to sit on, but when he saw the wooden splinters on them, he gave up on that idea.
His sight rested on a river bank 200m away, his mind spun in thoughts for awhile before making his way over.
Once Shao Xuan moved, the surrounding people looked at him at the same moment. Their sight followed Shao Xuan’s every movement. They wanted to see what this totem warrior was going to do.
Yan Shuo and his family also curiously looked over to Shao Xuan, who was walking towards the river.
“Is he angry? He just said he had wanted to sit? Would it be because our house has nowhere to sit on?” Yan Shuo’s wife worriedly asked.
“It shouldn’t be that.” Yan Shuo did not think that people of the Flaming Horns tribe would get angry because of such trivial stuff.
Yan Shuo gave the remaining dried meat to his daughter, then turned to look at Shao Xuan’s back. Actually, he was also worried that this fellow tribe member, who had suddenly turned up, would abandon him and his family.
But seeing that eagle still chewing on the snake and not having any intention to leave, Yan Shuo’s heart was relieved.
Shao Xuan walked towards the river bank, over there, there was a 2 meter tall, 3 meter wide round rock. Normally, when there are people anchoring there near the bank, they would tie their raft’s rope onto that big stone. Because the rock was huge and heavy, even some totem warriors would be too lazy to move it away.
At this moment, there were some people sitting against the stone, in their hands was roasted meat.
These were some people who exchanged stone materials for some food, similarly they were wanderers too, but they had a difference as well. They were considered one of the stronger ones in the area, and they were a group too. The other wanderers did not dare to offend them.
In the wanderers’ area, that group was living the best life they could, and they were more overbearing too. The fruits that they find in the mountains, they would not let others take a single one away, and when seeing that the others had hunted small animals, they would also actively snatch them away. As the saying goes, with more people together comes more power, these few that had grouped together were also of considerably strong strength. The other wanderers would not dare to recklessly go against them, those that had were already dead.
The scene where Shao Xuan had beat up that slave just now, these few had seen it all. They were gloating and laughing at someone else’s misfortune as well. This was also because they had also suffered under that slave before, especially that chief. They had even secretly thought of roasting the snake that was always with that slave.
Isn’t it just only a slave? Showing off his prowess, always keeping such a huge snake on him; just to show others that he is stronger than the rest of the wanderers. After all, it was not everyone that could withstand the weight of an enormous snake and walk around freely. Also, that act of his, does he think if he acts like that, he can really be a slave master?
Therefore, when they saw that slave with the snake be defeated, their hearts were secretly elevated to no end. However now, seeing that Shao Xuan was walking towards them, some of them felt perturbed.
“Boss, he…..he’s walking towards us!” Someone softly exclaimed.
“I know!” The person being called as ‘boss’ answered while suppressing his voice.
“What does he plan to do? Snatch our food?!” The wanderers encountered food snatching the most, therefore the first thing they would think of naturally would be this.
“He wouldn’t be trying to take revenge for Yan Shuo right?” They had found trouble for Yan Shuo before, but later, they realised that Yan Shuo’s strength was indeed stronger than the rest, that he was a hard stubble. So they didn’t have any conflicts with each other, they would not bother to waste time on Yan Shuo. They had just gone to find some trouble with him a few times, and later didn’t bother with him anymore.
Seeing Shao Xuan coming closer and closer, some of their hearts were even more uneased. After, they had all somehow made the same actions: they took down their meat that was still not finished roasting from the fire, not caring if it was hot or not, and just hurriedly stuffed it all into their mouths. This way, the other can’t snatch it right?
Shao Xuan walked over, swept a glance over, then headed towards the guy lying against the rock.
That ‘boss’ saw Shao Xuan heading towards himself, he stuffed his meat in even faster, his hands even trembling a little. The end of the slave’s snake just now, he could still remember it clearly.
His head facing down, that ‘boss’ did not dare to face Shao Xuan, his cheeks drummed up, his mouth stuffed full with meat. He still had not managed to swallow it down his pharynx before he started to stuff another piece of meat in, stuffing till the point that his mouth wouldn’t close.
“Would you please move.”
The head heard the sounds of Shao Xuan’s footsteps coming.
If it were the other people, they would have gotten into a fight long ago, but looking at the eagle that was playing with that slave’s dead snake made the hearts of the people around feel tangled up. Fight? Or do we still have to pay up the meat we swallowed? Or is it necessary to apologize?
“Get off.” Shao Xuan said to the man still on the rock.
This time the boss snapped out of his fear and reacted, quickly moving his ass off of the rock. Seeing that he hadn’t moved far away from the rock once down, he quickly stepped back to create some distance. Looking back at his associates, he found that they had already stood up and ran away earlier.
Really, those cowards he called teammates would abandon him, their boss, in the face of trouble.
Bastards!
The boss cursed in his heart, thinking that he shouldn’t make any sudden movements or run away now, incase he might anger this person.
However, before he got up, he found something wrong. The whispers and talks around them seemed to have stopped, the air becoming like static.
Did something happen?
Feeling the tense atmosphere and seeing the people from the corner of his eyes, the boss found them acting very strange.
He hesitantly looked back at Shao Xuan, but soon found that on the ground next to him, there was a big shadow, and that the shadow was moving.
This is……
Stiffly turning his neck, he looked to the other side, and saw that the boulder that would have taken a few people to move, was easily lifted. Don’t even mention throwing the huge rock, just trying to get it to budge was difficult.
“Puff……Cough!”
Every single action this guy did was crazy, the boss felt like his moods became erratic from watching him. It was to the point that he wanted to spit blood.
The people who had run away before were looking on from the side. Their mouths were hanging open, you could see the meat they had stuffed inside. One by one, their eyes bulged as they looked on.
Since there was a large flow of travelling tribes coming and going, the wanderers had seen other totem warriors move large stones before. But they had never seen someone just picking up a boulder as if it weighed nothing more than a piece of wood.
With the boulder in his hands, Shao Xuan carried the boulder to where Yan Shuo was, and since the ground there was raised, Shao Xuan jumped over with the boulder firmly in place.
The people around were stunned, “……”
Yan Shuo’s wife looked at Shao Xuan as he easily carried the large stone over, her eyelids jumped and twitched as she recalled what Yan Shuo said about the Flaming Horns strength. “I now believe you when you said that the ‘Flaming Horns tribe warriors can easily carry a bear’.”
A bear in their hands was probably like carrying a child!
