In the blink of an eye, the body part below the waist of Hong Xi, who had been standing on the ground with others, got nailed to the ground now.
Listening to the sound of the bang, which froze their blood, the people who had wanted to come to grips with Shao Xuan at the outset felt that the boom seemed to be thumped on their own body.
How could it be… This guy threw punches as if he was using a hammer! Didn’t it hurt? Won’t the hand bones break? Why not use the knife? Is Shao Xuan not taking a knife?
Why not use a knife?
Huang Ye’s group clearly knew that if Shao Xuan really had used a knife, Hong Xi would have been killed.
After Shao Xuan stopped, Hong Xi was still maintaining a knife-lifting guard posture, frozen.
Shao Xuan looked at Huang Ye and others, asked, “Is it ok?”
With unclear meaning, Huang Ye just said, “Well”.
“Does that mean I am eligible to join the Traveling Team?” Shao Xuan continued.
“Of course,” said Huang Ye. w.a.n.gmama read。com
“Well, then see you next time.”
Finishing that, Shao Xuan left.
Realizing the sight threw by Huang Ye and Qiu Gu, Gu Zhi was blushing. Before that, he had asked Hong Xi to “be careful not to go too far”.
The people of the Feather tribe hurriedly pulled Hong Xi out. On Gu Zhi’s wide and thick stone knife, the temperature caused by the fight still remained, somewhat hot.
They checked Hong Xi’s injuries, which were not that serious, but miserable instead. Once Hong Xi moved, he felt the pain as if his muscles were torn.
“Hong Xi, you should have been holding the blade up. If so, you could have definitely blocked him! Maybe his hand would have been cut off by the blade when he punched you.” said someone who couldn’t help but share his opinion.
“Yes, right, and at that time, you should…“
“Shut up!” Hong Xi roared, blue veins appearing in his forehead, “Do you think I am so foolish that I don’t know how to use a sword?! Or do you think Shao Xuan is so stupid that he doesn’t even know how to avoid the blade? If I really had the chance, would I be beaten like this?! Well, he hasn’t gone far, you guys, why don’t you take the sword and continue the fight against him?”
Surrounding people become silent.
Hong Xi’s own weapon was not a sword so he was not well-versed in it, but it didn’t mean that he did not even know how to use it. Defense looked easy, but when facing Shao Xuan, the pressure was very high. At that time, Hong Xi had an illusion that he seemed to face a beast that had rushed out of the forest.
When he blocked the opponent’s attack, he felt that his hand bones were almost broken, and even turning the handle of the sword was difficult. As Shao Xuan suppressed Hong Xi in an imposing manner, both in power as well as speed, Hong Xi knew that his failure was reasonable. The last thing he should have done was looking down upon Shao Xuan at first, because of that he was always in a pa.s.sive state and got defeated in an extremely embarra.s.sing manner.
“If I had known your power earlier, I should have used my own weapon.” Hong Xi struggled and walked to Gu Zhi with the sword. Then Hong Xi handed Gu Zhi the sword and said a little angrily, “When I recover, we shall have a fight again! Next time, I will use my own weapon!” After falling into silence for a while, he added, “I’m not a sore loser, but feel that I have not played for my full strength.”
“Chi——”
Qu Ce couldn’t help laughing.
“What are you laughing at?” Hong Xi glared at him.
“Your bird feathers have fallen.” said Qu Ce, pointing to the feathers on the ground.
Hong Xi flushed and said angrily, “Qu Ce, just wait and see! I will fight you when I am alright!”
Ignoring the quarrel between the young men, Huang Ye sighed and then said to Gu Zhi and Qiu Gu, “Now I believe that Hu Ma, from the Di Shan tribe, was killed by him.”
Before that, all three of them had heard the rumor that Hu Ma, from the Di Shan tribe, was killed by a young man from the Flaming Horn tribe who had an eagle. But they did not believe it because 99% of the rumors were exaggerated and ridiculous, not to mention that the young man was from the Flaming Horn tribe whose power was in dispute at that moment. So they didn’t take what they heard seriously.
But now, it was probably Shao Xuan who killed Hu Shan.
“Ah!” Gu Zhi patted on his own forehead, “Forgot to ask him about the two lost birds. Maybe he knows about it.”
They did not talk to the Flaming Horn tribe about two other birds. If the Flaming Horn tribe knew they had two birds as spies, their motives would definitely be doubted. In this case, once a strange and suspicious bird was found, it’s highly possible that it would be shot immediately.
“How could we ask?” Gu Zhi felt quite sorrowful for the two birds. He had been training them for a long time and thus they had rarely been caught in the past. This time, he really didn’t expect it. The Flaming Horn tribe seemed to have a lot of secrets.
The next day, Chief Ao of the Flaming Horn tribe invited Huang Ye and other two to have a talk. When the three people saw the two dying birds on the stone table and looked at the serious faces of the Flaming Horn tribe soldiers around them, they suddenly understood. Huang Ye only felt a headache.
“Where is Shao Xuan?” asked Qiu Gu.
“He has other things to handle,” replied Ao simply.
Huang Ye glanced around the house and found that except for Shao Xuan, the two team leaders of the Flaming Horn tribes were not there either. Where were they going? Forget it, no matter where they were, it didn’t matter as long as they didn’t fight against the Wan Shi tribe.
Ao ignored the doubts of Huang Ye, just taking the two birds and talking with the people of the Feather tribe.
On the other hand, Shao Xuan left the tribe with Ta and Gui He and went to the Ferocious Beasts Mountain Forest early in the morning.
Not far from the border of the Flaming Horn tribe, a team with about ten people had been waiting for them there. Besides the team, there were a few ferocious beasts which hadn’t appeared in the tribe for several days.
The Shaman thought that since these ferocious beasts had no task and this time they would go to the deep forest, why not take them together? In case they lost their ferocity, don’t leave them in the tribe for too long. For ferocious beasts, it’s better to keep their nature.
“Is everyone here?” Shao Xuan looked around and asked.
“All are here,” said Gui He.
Over there, Ta also nodded.

“Then let’s go”
Shao Xuan, together with more than 50 people, ran towards the deep forest.
Around the team were those running beasts.
In this route they chose, Shao Xuan had walked through some roads, where he could tell others what to pay attention to, which kinds of b.r.e.a.s.t.s they should look out and what dangerous plants and animals were in the forest. However, as for the rest roads, Shao Xuan also knew nothing about them.
Last time, when Shao Xuan went into the forest, he went to the place Chacha showed to him, and then changed the direction halfway. This time instead, they started from the tribe. In order to take back the ancestor’s remains and the Flaming Horn tribe’s “history” lost for nearly one thousand years as soon as possible, they almost went straight.
There were a lot of unknown dangers, unpredictable evil beasts, and rugged environments, but they were fearless. For such an environment, not like people of other tribes, they had lost the fear, and the only thing they had was the excitement for challenges, as well as the persistence and urgency to bring back the ancestor and “history.”
At the same time, this road was likely to be their new hunting route in the future.
Since they returned to the old haunt, they hadn’t decided on a new hunting route. However, their ancestors helped them solve the problem. Perhaps this was also an indication from the ancestors.
In those days, the ancestors took this route too for sure. Nowadays, these people of Flame Horn would retrace this road and declared to the forest that those who left were back.
Without break, the stone slashing sounded in the mountain, the splashing blood was full of suffocating murderousness, the roar of the giant beasts was deafening, and the frightened birds chirped and flew toward the direction of the setting sun.
Under the darkening blue sky, the road stained with blood carried all before one.
