Chapter 208 – The Di Shan tribe

Edited by Ilesyt

Looking away from Huo Qiu, Shao Xuan looked at the three people who were standing there, trembling. Huo Qiu’s group consisted of ten people, but Shao Xuan only killed five and let one person go. The man ran in the direction behind Shao Xuan. Yan Zhi and the others hid there.

Shao Xuan deliberately let him go there. The man was just a junior totem warrior. Although he seemed to have vicious looking eyes, but compared to the dead people, he rushed with hesitation. Obviously, He was afraid of death.

Clearly he was not as resolute as the others. It’s better to let Yan Zhi and his men practice.

As for the three people standing there...

The three travelers who were still alive noticed Shao Xuan was looking at them, so they trembled even more violently. They felt their legs become weak, they almostknelt down. They wanted to run away at once, but when they saw Shao Xuan looking at them, they had no courage left.

“Which tribe are you from?” Shao Xuan asked.

Huo Qiu hadn’t finished his sentence before Shao Xuan asked which tribe they were from.

“I...I...” With shifty eyes, the middle of the three thought about how to answer.

While he was thinking, a cold stone sword was put against his throat, scaring him to death.

“Fine! I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you! We are from the Di Shan tribe! All of us are from the Di Shan tribe!!” His face was a little pale because of fear. He answered at once without thinking too much.

“You are also the travelers of the Di Shan tribe?” Shao Xuan looked into the man’s eyes and asked.

The person who was questioned only nodded again and again.

“Let me go... please!” The person knelt on the ground.

Shao Xuan looked at them, and then turned around to leave.

The three took a deep breath. Were they spared just like this?

A hint of bloodlust entered their eyes as they looked at the back of Shao Xuan. The leader will take care of this kid up when he gets here.

The three had just intended to run away, but when they took a step, they felt a sudden gust of cold wind blowing, and then there was nothing anymore for them.

Draining off the blood from the sword, Shao Xuan killed Huo Qiu, who was unable to speak, and then walked towards Yan Zhi.

Hearing the sounds, Shao Xuan knew that everything went on well there.

The four Flaming Horns people were panting for breath.

“Well done.” Shao Xuan said.

Shao Xuan’s words encouraged Jiao Wu, who was closest to that person. He had killed people before, but his previous opponents were wanderers who robbed his things. The disputes between wanderers were inevitable, and the losers would even be killed. However this was his first time fighting with a totem warrior.

Clenching his fist tightly, Jiao Wu felt the strength from the fist. Although he was weaker than Shao Xuan, he was still very confident. He lifted the foot wrapped in broken shoes and stamped the man on the ground. After confirming he was dead, he raised his head with complacence, and looked around to see if there was another dying person like that man.

“Okay. We have to quickly leave here. Many people are chasing us. There may be some senior totem warriors among them. We cannot fight them. If you want to fight, you can fight them anytime after you return to the tribe and awaken the totem power.” Shao Xuan said.

The four looked at each other and saw hope in each other’s eyes .

From their ancestors to them, so many generations suffering as wanderers, they finally had hope of a better life.

For the first time, they felt their blood boiling in their bodies, as if hiding a fire.

In order to evade the stronger travelers that were chasing them, Shao Xuan decided to run away quickly.

If the travelers still managed to track them, they needed to be alert. He wouldn’t be afraid of them if he was alone, and could even kill the ones chasing him one by one. He had killed the people of the Wan Shi tribe back at the old haunt this way. But now he had to pay attention to the safety of Yan Zhi and the others.

Shao Xuan led Yan Zhi and the others to a place and had Chacha fly from one mountain to another with them. Chacha could fly over a short distance with two or three people each time.

In this way, they could temporarily evade the ones tracking them using their footprints in the snow.

Chacha did so a few times. Later they took advantage of the fine weather to travel swiftly on their journey for a few days. They no longer met the people who chased after them.

Yang Sui said it was going to snow again. This time the snow would last longer, probably for about ten days. Perhaps it would snow heavily.

If Shao Xuan was alone, even in the snowy days, he could still continue on his journey. But it was difficult doing so with Yan Zhi and the others. He decided to find a place for shelter during the snow so that they could avoid injuries.

The day before it snowed, Shao Xuan no longer continued on but found a cave together with Chacha.

While looking for a cave, Shao Xuan also cut some leaves and plants from the bushes and some tree bark here and there. Yan Zhi and the others thought Shao Xuan was going to used them as herbs. But Shao Xuan did not explain, they will know when it’s time.

Finally, Shao Xuan found a cave on the mountainside, which was not very big. But it was big enough for six people to rest.

There had been a bear hibernating in the cave, but it landed in the pot.

Before entering that cave, Shao Xuan burnt those items he collected, put out the fire and smoked the cave.

Yan Zhi and the others saw a lot of insects running out from the cave.

Actually, no one in the Flaming Horns tribe used these plants to chase away the insects, because it was not as effective as some other plants. But here, he couldn’t find any suitable plants to kill the insects. Moreover, in winter it was even more difficult to find some leaves which hadn’t fallen from the trees yet.

When everything was ready, Shao Xuan started the fire. The six people sat around the fire, talking.

“Have you heard of the Di Shan tribe?” Shao Xuan asked.

“The Di Shan tribe? I have heard of it, but I don’t remember it clearly. However, the Tian Shan tribe is very famous, one of the strongest tribes in the central part.” Yang Sui said.

“Is the Tian Shan tribe related to the Di Shan tribe? Do they have a close relationship?” Yan Zhi asked. He worried that they would bring trouble to the tribe. The two tribes were not small, so undoubtedly they could cause big trouble to the tribe. Before coming back to the tribe, they had already caused trouble, so would they be accepted by the tribe?

Besides Yan Zhi, the others were also worried.

Yang Sui shook his head, “If the Di Shan tribe is as strong as the Tian Shan tribe, it should have been well-known.”

“But will the Tian Shan tribe give support to the Di Shan tribe? Their names resemble each other.” Jiao Wu said. [Ed Note: Di Shan mean Earth Mountain, Tian Shan mean Sky Mountain]

“Don’t think too much. Now the most important thing is how to return to the tribe. When the tribe really returns to the central region, we need not be afraid of the Tian Shan tribe even if they get involved.” Shao Xuan said.

It was impossible for the people of the Flaming Horns tribe to yield because of strong opponents. On the contrary, they would join the battle excitedly. However, there were less people in the Flaming Horns tribe. If the tribe returned to the old haunt, more wanderers may go there and then the tribe’s strength in all respects would be improved.

In any case, it was still too early to think about this. Everything depended on his coming back.

Having recorded this in the animal skin volume, Shao Xuan intended to go back and discuss this with the Shaman.

“Where are we going next?” Asked Yan Zhi.
