Chapter 8: Barbarian Tribe?Translator: Exodus Tales
Editor: Exodus Tales
Walking in the center of three monster-like men, Bai Yang was going nuts inside his heart. He kept having this illusion of them tearing him apart like a piece of paper. Every step he took was a tribulation to his tiny heart.
But because of the language barrier between them, he wasn"t able to understand the ident.i.ties of the three men. Thus, Bai Yang could only identify them by their appearances. The most brawny young man was labeled “Barbarian no.1”, followed by the oldest man as “Barbarian no.2” and the last one as “Barbarian no.3”.
It was only after a long time, when Bai Yang finally learned their language, that he would come to know that their names were Zhu Zi, Zhao s.h.i.+, and Hu Zi….
Along the way, the three men had repeatedly demonstrated to Bai Yang the art of brute force.
The helmet Bai Yang wore was made of metal, even though Bai Yang had no idea if the helmet was bullet-proof, he knew that it would take him a huge hammer and a great deal of effort to smash the helmet into sc.r.a.ps. But to the curious “Barbarian no.3”, it was accidentally crushed into a ball of solid metal in his hands…
Seeing that, Bai Yang"s mouth twitched unnaturally in shock. When “Barbarian no.3” looked at him awkwardly, Bai Yang could only react back with an expression to show that he doesn"t mind at all….
Then, the metal-made military shovel fell into the hands of “Barbarian no.2”. He was, after all, elder in age. He was very curious about a multifunctional tool that could be used in many different ways. At one point he was using it to cut down the vines and the next second he was digging a hole on the ground. Then, he swung the shovel at a tree and broke it apart with the front half flying away into the forest…
“You do you, I don"t mind at all.” Bai Yang forced a smile on his face and said, not caring whether if they could understand him.
Whereas “Barbarian no.1” had his eyes s.h.i.+fting between Bai Yang and his stun baton. He was wondering if he could toy with the stun baton and if Bai Yang had any more delicacies to eat. Somehow, Bai Yang was able to understand the meanings in “Barbarian no.1″‘s eyes.
But he would not hand out the stun baton to them. Although he hadn"t used it before, it is the only thing that could provide Bai yang with some sense of security around these three men. As for food, he didn"t have any with him now. Even though he could always return to Earth and grab some, it was impossible to do it in front of the three barbarians. Hence, Bai Yang decided to ignore “Barbarian no.1”.
“Barbarian no.1” was equipped with a huge and long cane, the one that was used to strike the wild boar"s head. “Barbarian no.2” used a bow and “Barbarian no.3” also had his own weapon. “Barbarian no.3” was the one that was on the wild boar"s back. During the battle, his weapon was lost somewhere and when it was found again, Bai Yang realized that it was a saber that was even bigger than himself.
How brutal, what are these men? That bow, what is made of? But the limbs of the bow are almost as thick as my arms. How did he pull the bowstring? And that cane, it should at least a hundred kilograms to be able to create a hole on the ground with just one strike, right? And that saber, is it really not just a metal door?
Bai Yang felt his head spinning, he really wondered if he could survive even a minute around these men.
But what shocked him more was about to come. The two-meter high and five-meter long wild boar weighed at least a tonne. But Barbarian no.1 inhaled deeply, grabbed on the boar"s leg and hoisted it on his shoulders. Then, he used the cane to support the wild boar"s body on the bottom and continued walking leisurely in the woods…
Bai Yang didn"t know what to say anymore toward these men. And this was just the first three men he met in this world. G.o.d knew how many more men like them were out there in this world!
What kind of world is this? Are these men from some barbaric village?
Shou…
A sharp noise whistled by through Bai Yang"s ears followed by a stench. Then, just tens of meters away to the left of Bai Yang, a m.u.f.fled noise rustled in the bushes.
Barbarian no.2 casually waked past Bai Yang and dragged out a giant python from the bushes. Its head was already smashed and the six meter long python was carried on his shoulders.
Bai Yang swallowed a mouth of saliva. He had no idea how Barbarian no.2 notice the python…
Perhaps, they"ve confirmed that Bai Yang couldn"t understand what they were talking about, they stopped communicating with Bai Yang and instead, turned to comment on Bai Yang"s appearance.
“Those black things were really nice to eat. So nice to smell, so sweet. I want to have another piece of it…” Barbarian no.3 carrying the huge saber said as he enjoyed the aftertaste left in his mouth.
“Hu Zi, do you think, the cup we"ve picked up yesterday and also the delicacies on the ground belonged to him? Man, I feel like slapping him to death for wasting such nice food.” Barbarian no.1, Zhu Zi, was carrying the wild boar on his shoulder. Although there was sweat on his forehead, he didn"t seem exhausted at all and was still able to chat normally.
“I have no idea. Brother Zhao said to exchange the cup in the town for something nice but it was accidentally dropped in the fire and burned away.” Hu Zi scratched his head and said.
“Don"t you two keep thinking of food. Say, who do you think he is? Is it really okay if we bring him back to the village?” Barbarian no.2, Zhao s.h.i.+ said.
He had been keeping a close eye at Bai Yang. Other than finding Bai Yang weird in appearance, he couldn"t spot anything else extraordinary in Bai Yang. The white and pale face, the tiny muscles and small body size, Bai Yang was no stronger than a chicken to him. In their village, Bai Yang wouldn"t even be able to attract the attention of any ladies.
“Probably one of the young masters from the town or city, people who only know how to enjoy the privileges of their families, those who don"t contribute anything and have no strength at all. I wonder how he ended up here in the forest. But the food he has, they really are delicious.” Barbarian no.3 Hu Zi said nonchalantly.
“Or he may be a Divine Dao Cultivator, not focused on body strength.” Barbarian no.1 Zhu Zi said.
Barbarian no.2 Zhao s.h.i.+ shook his head in disagreement, “Doesn"t look like it. Martial Dao cultivates the body and Divine Dao cultivates the soul. Martial Dao Cultivators can strengthen their bodies without the cultivation arts, but the Divine Dao require the mysterious cultivation arts to cultivate. Even though we had not met any Divine Dao cultivators, there will still be some changes in the cultivators once they cultivated. But from the looks of it, it doesn"t seem like he had ever cultivated before.”
“Who knows. We"ll bring him back and let the village head decide. Now, the real question is, is he an idiot? He doesn"t even know how to speak and can only babble foolishly.” Barbarian no.3 scratched his head as he said.
While he was talking, Hu Zi t.i.tled his head, he saw Bai Yang panting heavily and couldn"t stand it anymore. He then grabbed on Bai Yang"s shoulders and carried him on his shoulder and increased his pace…
Bai Yang almost cried out in embarra.s.sment. He initially thought it was because of the wild boar that their speed was slowed down but it turned out that it was him that dragged them down their speed…
The four walked for almost two hours in the woods. Bai Yang was unable to estimate the distance they had traveled as their speed beyond his comprehension. They could jump over a five-meter high cliff and an eight-meter wide gully.
All in all, Bai Yang thought nothing was able to stop them anymore!
After a series of novel maneuvers, Bai Yang"s head was spinning crazily. He didn"t even realize when he was placed on the ground. But when he was able to look clearly at his surroundings, his eyes opened wide in shock.
They were still in the lush forest, but in front of them, there was a village built in the midst of the trees. Outside of the village was a ten-meter high fence built from tree trunks!
Standing before the village gate, Bai Yang noticed that there weren"t any houses on the ground. Instead, the houses were all built on trees that were at least twenty-meters high. The branches of the trees were the pathways connecting houses to houses.
Beneath the houses was a thirty-meter wide river flowing through the center of the village. A huge watermill was set up in the center of the river that delivered the river water to a huge water tank fifty-meters high up. The water tank had many bamboo pipes connecting to the houses to supply clean water to the households.
Every house had a bamboo pipe below it, these pipes were connected to a bigger bamboo pipe that extended all the way downstream the river. These pipes were was most likely pipes for the wastewater.
On the ground, nearly a hundred teenagers were training their bodies while the children were swinging from tree to tree with the vines as if they were Tarzan. Bai Yang looked at the children with a palpitating heart, wondering if they would survive if they accidentally fall to the ground.
What the h.e.l.l is this place? The question has been repeating nonstop inside of Bai Yang"s head.
The three barbarians that brought Bai Yang here raised their voice and shouted. Immediately, a bunch of people swarmed out and surrounded them. They were pointing their fingers and chattering softly.
It was at this moment that Bai Yang realized that the three barbarians weren"t aberrations in this village. He saw no fewer than twenty other men who were bigger and more muscular than the three of them.
Oh my gosh, what mad world is this?
Bai Yang"s mind blanked out all of a sudden. He highly suspected that this was a barbarian tribe of a barbaric age. He couldn"t help but wonder if the next thing the tribe was going to do was pull out a huge wok and cook him for a feast.
