Chapter 70 – You just rest assured (2/2)

All warriors present were standing in the units of their hunting groups. Last time, Shao Xuan was standing beside Lang Ga, while this time, he was standing with Tuo and Keke.

Naturally the other warriors knew Tuo and Keke’s position, and that was why they were so surprised.

That was the advance group! Did the kid Ah-Xuan himself ask to join? Why would the team leader agree on that?!

Certainly, many people were envious of Shao Xuan’s position, especially the newly-recruited warriors. They all awakened at the same batch, but when they were still in training, Shao Xuan had entered the hunting team. Now when, they could finally be recruited into the hunting team, they found that Shao Xuan was already in the advance group! Soon enough, all their jaws seemed to fall down on the ground out of shock.

Even Mao, who was considered as the biggest talent this year, was not brought into the advance group by his own dad, how could Shao Xuan be selected?

The warriors did not know what the team leader was thinking, but it did not stop them from lecturing their own kids. Sai, for instance, got schooled pretty hard by his old man again.

Ah-Fei was not with the team this time. When Shao Xuan came back from the hunting mission, he kicked Ah-Fei’s ass and broke a few of his ribs. Ah-Fei lay in his bed for almost ten days, and when he could finally get out of the door, he was beaten up by Mao. Shao Xuan held back some strength, for he worried that Ah-Fei’s families might mess around with Old Ke, but Mao had his dad and grandpa on his back, hence he was more ruthless. So, with last time’s wounds not completely healed, Ah-Fei was kicked down to the ground again. Now, he was still resting at home. Naturally he was not able to tag along.

People also knew that Ah-Fei started the trouble, so none of them interfered with Shao Xuan and Mao’s revenge.

Also, the team leader requested that Ah-Fei and his father stayed at home, so they could reflect on it.

Even healthy warriors might not be able to tag along with the hunting mission every time, for there were rules about who could go and who couldn’t. All group leaders would report the name list in their hunting group, for the team leader to decide. So whoever couldn’t pass the team leader’s final check had better be calm and stay at home.

What? Not enough food stored?

Then you should starve! No starving meant no lesson learnt!

Being the team leader, Ta already knew that the hunting result of his team was not as good as the other team’s. Of course he would not endure someone ridiculous to hold the team back, and give reasons to other people to make fun of him.

This year, he used Ah-Fei and his father as an example during all hunting missions. With Ah-Fei’s example as a warning, the new warriors tagging along would better behave themselves.

When they walked down along the Path of Glory, the people on both sides were extremely excited, especially those women whose husbands and sons were in the hunting team. They were roaring like hell.

Shao Xuan looked at them, and he felt that those women were competing with their volumes. Some of them even fought each other while yelling. It was such a fine example of the people’s savage characters. In the tribe, there’s a tradition that all problems could be solved by violence.

When they got to the mountain foot area, Shao Xuan spotted Old Ke on Caesar’s back in the crowd. He waved at them, and then left with the hunting team.

With last time’s experiences, it was not hard for Shao Xuan to cope with the pace. When they left the Path of Glory, they started to speed up, and left the tribe’s residential area behind. They ran faster and faster, but no one was left behind. Apparently all the newly-awakened warriors had trained well in the past few days.

When they left the patrolling area of the tribe, Ta told the team to stop and take a break before they enter the woods.

Shao Xuan wondered what he should do later, but after paying attention to Ta’s words for a while, he realized that he had no task at all. The others all had their tasks assigned, and it was pretty clear who was about to handle which direction after they entered the forests. However, Shao Xuan had one thing to do, which was being at Ta’s side and not be a burden.

Shao Xuan acknowledged the fact that he was not as strong as the others, so he just glimpsed at those who laughed at him for “still needing the protection” without refuting any of them.

Tuo kicked on those who were laughing at Shao Xuan. The team leader was distributing assignments to other group leaders and paid no attention to their side, so some of the warriors became bolder. If no one stopped them, they might cross the line.

“Just ignore them. Perhaps you will beat them after about a decade.” Tuo consoled him.

“It doesn’t matter.” Shao Xuan looked at the few people who were still sneering, and then turned to Tuo, “Is the advance group going to hunt for ferocious beasts that are more fierce and vicious?”
