Chapter 534

The Ferocious Flaming Horn

Nobody asked if they could eat them, but seeing Shao Xuan’s calm reaction, many of them felt teased. They already lost their appetite when they saw this beast. Why would they even think about eating it?

In fact, many of them had been to the desert, and there were also many beasts there. Since they experienced the desert, they should already be mentally prepared for this. But forests were not the same as deserts, and killing people was also different from killing beasts.

The desert where the slave masters lived had too many deaths. Sometimes they looked over and saw not even a single living creature. But as long as they were cautious, they could avoid most of the dangers.

But it was different here. There was a sign of life everywhere, and all these living creatures were ready to kill. It was hard to defend themselves against them, and if they really had to defend according to the different types of creatures, they would be exhausted.

This was the home of ferocious beasts.

Screech---

Several hawks cried out from the sky above.

The faces of people from the Hui tribe changed suddenly. They could feel the anxiety from the hawk’s cry, and they wanted to climb a tree to see what had happened. The trees were lush and the branches were too leafy. It blocked out the entire sky from above, and only small beams of sunlight shone through the narrow gaps.

“You don’t need to look. Your hawks probably got lost and entered the territory of other beasts.” Shao Xuan guessed without looking.

“Don’t let them fly around. We need to follow our original plan and stay on it. Don’t try to fight those beasts. It won’t be good if more birds come our way.” Shao Xuan explained.

Gu La nodded, climbed onto a tree, and facing the sky, he blew a whistle. As the giant hawks descended, he gave them some instructions and then returned to the rest of the team.

Screech----

“In the forest, there are many places where you need to pay attention to. Some places are territories marked by some beasts, and we shouldn’t barge in carelessly. We need to judge and see whether they are enemies we could handle. If you barge into the territory of a beast you can’t beat and hunt their prey, or you will be out of luck.” Shao Xuan explained to those who were unfamiliar with the forest as he led the way so that they could gain a deeper understanding and cause less trouble.

“But how do we know which area belongs to a beast, and which beasts we can beat?” someone in the team asked.

“Isn’t that why we’re here?” Shao Xuan said, “We haven’t entered the heart of the Fearsome Beast Forest yet, so we’re still pretty familiar with this area. As long as you follow our instructions, then we can avoid most troubles.”

Did this mean that they had to follow the Flaming Horn’s instructions and go wherever they were instructed to go?

The people who heard Shao Xuan’s words were a little unhappy, but after all, they had no experience living in the forest, so they could only follow the Flaming Horn’s instructions and do what they’re told.

“I just hope that you guys can do your best in leading the way,” said Huang Ye of the Mang tribe.

“We will. Don’t worry.”

As soon as Shao Xuan finished his sentence, a snapping sound came from not far away, the sound of branches and vines snapping, and it was inching closer towards them.

A huge head of a beast suddenly emerged between the interlocking vines and branches, the lines on its skin were like cracks in the bark of an ancient tree. Its nostrils were so huge that it could suck a person right in, and its low growling was like the sound of a thunderstorm.

Such a huge beast was so close to them and hid so well that they couldn’t even sense its breath.

Everyone in the team glared at Shao Xuan. Didn’t he just tell them not to worry? Now, what is this supposed to be?

How could you tell us to calm down?! Some of us were scared to the point that we almost peed our pants!

As if he knew what the people in the team were about to say, Shao Xuan raised his chin and tilted his head in the direction of the beast, “Don’t just watch, attack! This is our dinner tonight!”

The others were lost for words.

Disregarding the others’ reactions, the five people from the Flaming Horn tribe picked up their respective weapons and raced toward the beast.

"Urghhh--" The beast roared provocatively.

On their side, Shao Xuan’s team of five simultaneously released the most powerful totemic force, its energy and momentum oppressing the beast from a distance away.

Both human and beast did not give way, and the overbearing energy from both sides collided in the enclosed area.

On the intricately intertwined vines around them, leaves suddenly began to fall, as if someone forcefully pulled them off from the vines.

Lush bushes growing densely with branches and leaves swayed violently, rattling with the sound of trees under a thunderstorm.

Under the impact of the two energies colliding, the people around them felt the bones in their own bodies creaking. They felt like lonely boats, uncontrollably swayed by the force of strong ocean waves.

Once they entered the hunting state, the Flaming Horns could not be distracted. This was one of their favourite things to do and what they were best at.

When they faced people, they had to make too many considerations. Sometimes, being stronger than your enemy didn’t mean you would end up with the results you wanted.

The hearts of humans were too complicated and it wasn’t easy to understand. The Flaming Horns learned about this after they came into contact with the other tribes.

Because of this, many people in the Flaming Horn tribe preferred hunting in the forest. To them, hunting was a dangerous and thrilling exercise that stirred their blood.

Sometimes they might encounter beasts that were more cunning and would surprise them with their unique moves, but most beasts were not like that. Usually, beasts relied solely on their natural advantage in their battle for survival.

As a hunter, being stronger than the prey was more than enough. The weak became the food for the strong. It was as simple as that.

The beast roared. Sharp and blunt weapons clashed. The turbulent energy that filled the air frightened and scared away all the animals around them.

Meanwhile, the people from the other tribes watched from the side. They were stunned as they observed the five Flaming Horns hunt in the most direct, brutal style.
