Chapter 61 – Die without regrets (1/2)

Translated by Sunyancai

Do not get so worked up?

How’s that even possible!

Talk like adults?

How could they talk? They were totally speechless!

It is the ancestors, the ancestors of the tribe!!

The others had no doubt about Shao Xuan’s claim, for they all knew that for generations, only people from the Flaming Horn tribe lived in this area. So, whoever was lost in the mountain, should be their ancestors. It was highly likely they were their ancestors!

Thinking that Shao Xuan was carrying the ancestors on his back, the crowd had an intense emotion filling up their chests.

They believed in the totem, and worshiped their ancestors. For people in the tribe, the totem was sacred for sure, and the word “ancestor” had its own halo.

The others in the tribe were standing still with only their lips trembling. Now, finally they started to move.

At first it was only baby steps towards Shao Xuan. They could effortlessly leap and run during normal hunting missions, but right now, it seemed that just one baby step exhausted all their strength.

Gradually, the paces became quicker, but they still were baby steps, as if they would wake up their ancestors if they took a big step, and they had to be as careful as possible.

Looking at almost three dozen hunting warriors approaching him, Shao Xuan suddenly wanted to run away. He felt that their facial expressions were much too creepy than what he could bear.

When they were only about three steps away from Shao Xuan, Mai in the front of the crowd took the lead and kneeled down in front of Shao Xuan with one knee! The others all followed Mai and made a serious salute towards him. It was the salute they made to the ancestors.

Although unlike the highest salute on bended knees, they were kneeling down on only one knee, the sound of the knees hitting on the ground was loud and clear. Shao Xuan could almost feel the pain by listening to that sound. What’s more, except for Mao, all those warriors were either a lot older than him, or much higher in status than him in the tribe. They were all kneeling down in front of him!

Shao Xuan was speechless.

Fuck my life! Won’t this shorten my life? Shao Xuan felt a thousand Caesars howling in his heart.

Thinking about that, Shao Xuan couldn’t help but try to move aside for a little bit.

“Don’t move!” Mai and the others almost shouted out at the same time, to stop Shao Xuan’s attempt.

Shao Xuan was stunned and he stopped.

Seeing people like that, Shao Xuan really did not know what to do. He was rigid with shock for a while, with only one feeling, that the four ancestors were as heavy as steel. And the weight made him sweat a lot.

Seeing Shao Xuan having tied those four ancestors like that, people felt that Shao Xuan was disrespectful towards the ancestors. With a closer look, they found that he used the antenna of that hateful insect in the mountain as the rope!

Shao Xuan sat aside, resting, but during which time he was glared at over and over by condemning eyes. However, he had thick skin, so he just sat there as if nothing happened. He wasn’t stupid enough to offer explanation to those fanatical people about anything. Apparently they were all soaked in extreme emotions, and no one could reason with them right now.

However, even when there was nothing to explain, Shao Xuan didn’t want to be glared at like that. So he diverted the others attention by telling them what happened in the cave briefly.

Earlier, all of them were curious about how Shao Xuan got out from the cave, but their attention was caught by the ancestors and no one had any interest in other things. Now since Shao Xuan was willing to speak, all the others paid attention to his tale of survival.

Of course Shao Xuan wouldn’t lay his cards open on the table, so he simply narrated the story of how he killed that insect, and encountered the king stone worm. He also made it clear that he hadn’t seen the king stone worm for real, but only experienced the change of environment. Then, he thought about the Shaman’s lecture. Then, under the guidance of the totem, he found those ancestors.
