Chapter 213 - There is hope

Edited by Ilesyt

At that moment, the fish that jumped out was pierced by so many spears and swords that it looked like a hedgehog.

Pierced by the spears and swords, the fish was pushed away from above the ship.

Before the fish fell down, a variety of stone tools that were thrown later hit it continuously. This hedgehog-like fish looked even more miserable.

Whoosh~~!

A stone rod that was as thick as a man’s thigh and much longer than a man's body was thrown as a spear and directly hit the leaping fish. The rod was part of of a fish cage and it was pulled out by someone.

Yan Zhi and the others just heard a thud and then they saw the blood splash in their faces.

When they looked at it again, the leaping big fish with fangs, which had just been shot, looked like a hedgehog, and then was smashed in by the stone rod.

The fish fell into the water again. During this whole process, Shao Xuan didn't turn around, as if he had known what would happen.

Such a violent and bloody scene shocked Yan Zhi and the others for a while, but it also made them feel surprised and an unprecedented excitement.

To put it bluntly, they had a feeling of being supported by others. They were no longer alone and weak. There were many people and a more powerful force that would support them.

Yan Zhi had once asked a man of the Longboat tribe how it felt belonging to a tribe. That old man with a good character told him: “When you are in danger, maybe you cannot cope with the situation. But it doesn't matter, because you know your tribe will help you.”

Yan Zhi still remembered when the old man said this, his eyes were filled with pride. Though he had also been bullied in the Longboat tribe, he knew that in his need the tribe was his greatest support.

And Yan Zhi finally felt the support from his tribe.

The splashed blood made the piranhas become more active in the river. Luckily, the ship quickly approached the shore because of Chacha pulling the ship. The piranhas currently targeted the fish that fell into water.

Having been away from this place for a year, Chacha was even more excited than Caesar. That was probably because travelling around made it finally believe that it was better to stay in the tribe. He was free in the mountain. While flying outside, he needed to considder whether the area controlled, and he was only accompanied by Shao Xuan. Whatever he wanted to do, he had tothink twice before acting. He had to solve all problems on his own. This made him feel very uncomfortable. The food was not good, so he felt he didn't grow bigger the past year. Now that he finally came back, the first thing he wanted to do was have a good meal!

Looking at the ship approaching quickly, the people of the Flaming Horns tribe were very happy. There were several people behind Shao Xuan!

With the ship approaching fast, the Shaman looked at Chacha, who forgot to slow down in the air, and told the crowd to make way quickly.

“Come on. Move!”

Since the Shaman told them to do so, everyone naturally obeyed.

Then, some empty space could be seen in the path of the ship in an instant.

The ship skid over the shore, and the smelly sand splashed on the bodies of those people who were close to it, but they did not mind. They raised their hand to wipe out the sludge on their faces, smelled it and twitched with disgust. They wiped the sludge on their arms and their body and chased after the ship.

“Chacha, stop! Loosen the rope!” Shao Xuan shouted to Chacha in the air.

Caesar bit the tail of the ship to slow it down after it came ashore.

Chacha felt the pull on the claws and heard Shao Xuan’s shout. Then he snaped out of the joy of having come back and began thinking of the various kinds of prey in the mountains.

Getting rid of the rope in its claws, Chacha glimpsed at old Ke, who slowly walked in the back, and flew directly towards him.

Looking at Chacha in the sky, old Kesighed, as if his child grew up and he finally come back after his trip. But when old Ke was still thinking of this, he was held by Chacha.

Old Ke: “...”

Back at the ship, Shao Xuan jumped from the ship that finally stopped, pet Caesar’s head, and then walked towards the Shaman and the chief.

“I am back!”

“You came back well! You came back well!” The Shaman showed his rare wrinkled laugh.

At this moment, the Shaman did not ask him too much, and he just made eye contact with Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan patted his chest, which was covered by his animal skin coat, and the Shaman got even deeper wrinkles on his face.

The people in the tribe had so many questions to ask Shao Xuan. But it was not the time when Shao Xuan could answer their questions one by one. Shao Xuan greeted Mai, Lang Ga, and the others who were familiar to him. Then he looked at old Ke, who was finally put down by Chacha.

Without saying anything, Shao Xuan gave old Ke a hug.

“Welcome home.” Old Ke said and smiled with his eyes filled with tears.

After greeting the people of the tribe, Shao Xuan did not forget to introduce Yan Zhi and the others, but not in detail. He only said that they lived outside the tribe and had not awakened their power yet.

The Shaman and chief knew that it must be a long story, but now it was not the time to ask him about the details.

Seeing the Shaman and the chief, Yan Zhi and the others looked a little helpless. They were so excited that they did not know what to say. Although Shao told them the etiquette of the tribe, they all forgot it because of the excitement.

The Shaman and the chief saw that, but did not blame them for that.

“Ta, Gui He, you two get them some place to rest. This trip must have been very tiring and they need to have a good rest.” Ao said.

“Yes!”

Shao Xuan said Yan Zhi and the others had not awakened their power, so they were very weak. But the two team leaders did not mind this and told the people to prepare some food for ordinary people. They couldn't eat ferocious beast meat currently for they were not strong enough to eat it.

When Ta and Gui He brought Yan Zhi and the others to the mountain, a warm-hearted aunt jostled and lifted Jiao Wu with one hand, weighed him, and then said with pity, “Not strong enough.”

Jiao Wu: “...”

Finishing her words, the aunt smiled with enthusiasm, patted Jiao Wu’s shoulder, and earnestly said, “Young man, eat more meat!”

Some people around them gave Yan Zhi and the others some food, but the team leaders told them that without awakening their power they couldn't eat some things. That was a pity.

Those who stayed on the shore surrounded the ship moored on the shore.

“Hey, is this a ship?”

“Of course! But it’s better than that one made by us last year.”

A totem warrior did not control his strength well, so he pinched the wooden ship and left a hole in it . Then he quickly stopped doing so.

“It’s good looking, but it’s not strong. We can make a more solid one this.”

“Right.” The people surrounding the ship said and nodded.

Shao Xuan had a brief talk with old Ke and then went up the mountain with the Shaman and the chief. Therefore those who wanted to ask him about the situation outside the tribe had no choice but to temporarily wait for his return.

Shao Xuan followed the Shaman up the mountain and once again came to the stone house of the Shaman, which was familiar to him. He went into the house, poured a glass of water and chugged it. And then with the expectations of the chief and the Shaman, he took out a animal skin bag and took out four rolls from it.

“These two are written by the Shaman and the chief of the Drumming tribe and they are for you. This is the map I drew. That place has seen great changes, and what the ancestors left was already out-dated. But I didn't have enough time, so I wasn’t able to go to all the places. And the last one is a summary of my trip.”

Handing in the four rolls to the Shaman and the chief, Shao Xuan took out some small items he brought back, such as coins, jade, and water moonstones. In terms of the origin and use of these things, he wrote them down in the last roll.

Putting down these things, Shao Xuan did not stay for a long time and went back down the mountain. Such a long sailing trip really consumed a lot of his energy, for he had to protect Yan Zhi and the others. Shao Xuan had felt excited at first but then he felt very tired. He needed to have a good rest tonight, so he would tell them more things the next day.

The Shaman and the chief would discuss about the things he had left for a long time.

After Shao Xuan left, the Shaman and the chief tremblingly picked up the rolls that Shao Xuan gave to them and then looked at them carefully. They looked at the last one first. This was the first time they knew about the situation outside the tribe.

In the evening, the Shaman and the chief asked all the prestigious people in the tribe to gather together in order to discuss the tribe’s migration. In fact, it was not a migration, but a return.
