Chapter 234 - There's something wrong

Edited by Ilesyt

On hearing Mao’s whistle, Shao Xuan knew Ao decided to release those guys. However, Caesar was not included.

Shao Xuan did not let Caesar come over, he had Caesar protect old Ke and the others on the ships. After all, the elderly, children and women who hadn’t awakened stayed on board. Moreover, the Shaman and the fire seed were also there.

After Mao whistled, he was again targeted by two invaders. But this time, Mao did not immediately kill them. Instead, he kept moving around with both following him, and later three.

Suddenly, Mao stopped, stood there, and turned around to look back at the three.

Because of the sudden stop of Mao, the three people who were chasing him stopped at a distance of ten steps away from him.

The three targeted Mao because he was young, so they thought such a young warrior could be defeated easily. They believed that they should avoid those middle-aged warriors who looked very intimidating. But why didn’t this young warrior surrounded by three people look nervous and scared?

A trap?

The three were suspicious.

Then they looked down on him for they believed such a young warrior could not be very powerful.

While the three were rushing to him, they suddenly heard a sound and felt the ground shaking.

Clump, clump...

The sound quickly approached them, and the ground was shaking even more. All pointing towards a heavy creature moving closer.

What exactly was it?

The three looked back and saw a tall figure running rapidly from afar and shoving away the hindrances in front of it violently. Because of the quick speed, its fat was trembling.

Unexpectedly, such a fat creature could run so fast. It looked like a chariot rushing at high speed.

What is that?! The three showed awe in their eyes.

A boar without hair?

Anyway, it looked very powerful.

“Get away!”

The three people dispersed in three directions.

However, they didn’t expect that Si Ya could change his direction so fast.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Si Ya hit them consecutively.

Because of the rapid change of direction, the grass and mud were kicked away and scattered. When the grass and soil fell on the ground, the three who had intended to beat Mao disappeared and only some splashed blood was left on the ground.

Glancing at the happy Si Ya, Mao smiled, stood up, jumped on the back of Si Ya, and waved the sword with excitement.

“Come on! Let’s take our part or it will be grabbed by others!”

“En~” Si Ya issued a sound as a response to what Mao had just said.

In another place.

A warrior holding a stone sword in his hand was running, he was a member of the Jian tribe. His weapon had been damaged, so he picked up this stone sword from a warrior of the Drumming tribe, who had been cut and killed by him.

He was injured a little seriously, and his waist was stabbed by a sharp blade. His blood was dripping while he was running. He was bleeding continuously from his wound, so the blood spread everywhere he went.

He knew he could not survive this time. However, he didn’t want to wait for death.

He wanted to kill more people or get several water moonstones.

Thinking about it, he looked vicious, with his eyes revealing his determination and madness.

Why not kill another one, but kill who?

While he was running, he was searching the surrounding trees and grass to find a person who he could kill.

He suddenly felt a chill in the spine. He stopped, kicked the soil lump at his feet, and was tripped over.

He was about to get up when he saw a figure. That warrior looked very young.

He felt a sharp pain in the bleeding wound. His mouth twitched and showed a vicious smile.

He intended to kill the young warriors in the tribe.

However, before getting up, he found that the young warrior stopped not far from him. He no longer came closer to him, but it seemed that he was just waiting to see something.

What was he looking at?

Rustle...

Rustle...

Footsteps were approaching, coming closer and closer, almost beside him. Before that, he had not heard anything about it.

In the moonlight, a shadow was cast on the ground.

The approaching black shadow almost covered his whole body.

He had a sense of danger and crisis, which made him give up the crazy idea.

He felt all the hairs on his body stand erect, and his teeth were chattering uncontrollably.

Twisting his neck stiffly, he looked behind.

A large hairy paw appeared in his vision.

He felt the warm and bloody breath above his head.

Looking up little by little, finally he saw what the shadow was.

A cave lion?

Why is there a cave lion?!

A beast?

No, no!

A regular beast doesn’t look so powerful, so this is a...ferocious beast?!

Before he could think more about it, its big mouth opened and sharp fangs were exposed to him.

He failed to fight back.

“Aaah~~!”

In the woods, in the moonlight, a scream resounded, which causes shivers to run over the spines of the invaders.

If he had been just cut, he would not have had such a anguished cry. What had made him give out such a cry?

Similar things happened in all parts of the Drumming tribe.

And at the moment, shortly after the branded beasts had left, in the place where the Flaming Horns tribe fleet was.

A figure ran out of the woods like a ghost, almost without any sound.

The few beasts around the fleet had run away, so on the riverbank of the tributary where the fleet’s ships were docked, no ferocious beasts were guarding at this moment.

This invasion was much more difficult than ever before. As one of the people of the Martyr tribe who were good at hiding, he was one of the few people who could successfully overcome the defence. He had planned to go directly to the waterway of the Drumming tribe to get the water moonstones. However, after seeing the ships on this tributary, he came here.

Looking at the ships in front of him, that person was uncertain.

These were really not the ships of the Longboat tribe?

Why are these ships so big? Besides the Longboat tribe and those who exchanged a lot of things for the ships of the Longboat tribe, who else can make big ships?

After careful observation, he found that the ships were made of huge trees he had never seen before.

Probably even the chief of the Martyr tribe had never seen such big trees, right?

So where did the owners of these ships come from?

But he didn’t think about such a question for long. He believed in such big ships, there must be many precious things. Maybe there were fire crystals.

He showed his greed for a moment.

He decided to go there through the water, for many warriors were guarding around there.

In the Drumming tribe all the crocodiles had left. He remembered that it was safe to go through the water at this time.

In order to invade the Drumming tribe, the members of the Martyr tribe had practised swimming in the water. It was not difficult for him to go through the water.

He set out from another place and intended to get close to the largest ship. In the largest ship, he believed that there must be the most valuable things.

Quietly, he dived underwater and swam to the fleet.

But while swimming, he noticed the water around him moving, which was not caused by him.

What exactly was it?

Before he turned back, a big mouth like a hook tried to bite him, caught him on his waist, and then closed.

The blood spread underwater.

Standing on board, a warrior saw the dark liquid coming out of the water as well as the waves. Without any facial expressions, he looked at somewhere else to look for any potential invaders. The turtle guarded underwater.

…….

In the water moonstones stream, the children of the Drumming tribe hurried to collect the water moonstones out of water. The adults were watching them, who had been vigilant for they worried that someone would suddenly appear to grab the water moonstones.

But strangely, until now, none of them had seen an intruder.

They had just heard a scream ringing out not afar, but they had seen nobody else.

In the woods, the fight was still going on.

“Roar~~”

A beast roar came from the woods.

When they were still thinking about what it was, another beast roar was heard, just different from the previous one. They knew these were the sounds of two different kinds of beasts.

“Two beasts?” The hiding people thought.

However, this was not the end. Then another two cries were heard. The woods was trembling.

The sounds of another two different beasts were issued one after another as if something was reported.

At this moment, standing not far away from the Drumming tribe, those who planned to get something good and followed the Martyr tribe and the Jian tribe, stopped abruptly.

The chief was a bit fat. On hearing the roars ring out through the woods, the fat of his face repeatedly twitched. His fingers holding the sword became pale and his lips twitched due to his nerve, as if someone standing next to him slapped on his face.

They had only heard that the Drumming tribe had helpers, but they did not care. But now, they had to pay attention.

“Chief, should we... go in?” A warrior behind him asked and shivered.

“There is something wrong,” The leading man said in a deep voice. Although he hadn't gone inside the Drumming tribe to see what happened, he knew that the two tribes wanted to grab the water moonstones, which was a piece of bad news to them.

He did not think that the Drumming tribe could win against the joint offense of the Xun tribe and Jian tribe. He had heard of some unbelievable things before, but this was his first time actually encountering such a situation, so he was too shocked to be able to calm himself down.

“Chief, look, there is a bird over there!” A warrior said to the leading man.

The people in a row looked over.

In a tall tree not far from them, there was a white bird. Exactly, it was a falcon, as big as Zhi's crown kite.

They had never seen such a snowy white falcon, which was not like a wild one.

“That is?”
