Chapter 76 – Playing a small role (1/2)

Translated by Sunyancai

“What?”

Seeing that Shao Xuan literally removed the poison caps on the white hairs, Keke couldn’t help but shout out “what”. Also, he used a pitched tone, showing his astonishment.

The other resting warriors all became quite curious by Keke’s “what”. They felt like there was a cat scratching their hearts, for not knowing what exactly happened. They wanted to take a look, but were afraid to be despised by the team leader. All they could do was to sit there in silence, while staring in Shao Xuan’s direction.

Unfortunately, Keke was a big fellow, who blocked everyone’s sight completely. The crowd wanted to swing a hammer on his head. You just observe closely all you want, but why block the sight of others?

Tuo did not mind it. He arrived at Keke’s side and squatted after he had taken care of the wounded warrior. He watched Shao Xuan being busy.

In fact, Shao Xuan was merely experimenting. Even though those white hairs were not easy to cut, they were still plants, so they were supposed to be afraid of fire. Unexpectedly, it worked.

Looking at the white hairs of different length in his hand, Shao Xuan twiddled his fingers.

Keke saw Shao Xuan take out two white hairs, and with his fingers twisting and turning, those two white hairs became tightly entwined with each other. In a short period of time, Shao Xuan connected all the white hairs without poison caps together into a long thread. It was nearly two meters long, and it felt elastic if you dragged it.

“Eeeh~~?!”

Keke’s “Eeeh” was much louder, and the rising tone was also higher.

The others sitting aside felt even more uncomfortable, for they were being tortured by their curiosity. Some of the warriors felt an itch to slap Keke sideways.

What the fuck! Why can’t you roll over and look from afar?!

However, the crowd dare not to tempt the team leader’s fury, and they remained sitting where they were.

Ah-Suo wanted to go and look, to check out what Shao Xuan was playing with. However, he had just taken one step, before he found that the team leader was glaring at him. He had no choice but to step back. Since he wasn’t not able to go closer, Ah-Suo picked up a chunk of dirt beside his feet, and tossed it towards Keke.

Bang!

The dirt bulk hit on Keke’s back, and immediately got scattered.

Keke totally ignored that dirt chunk. He was very curious seeing Shao Xuan turn the white hairs into a long elastic thread. He knew nothing about politeness or courtesy, so he directly grabbed the thread from Shao Xuan’s hand, “Give me!”

Shao Xuan did not hold tight on the thread, and he just gave it to Keke, and then continued to collect the white hairs in the surroundings.

Tuo had nothing else to do, so he helped collecting the white hairs.

“It’s a funny thread!” Keke murmured.

Ah-Suo glimpsed at Ta, and only to find that the blue veins in his forehead were popping.

Perhaps he was trying to see if this long thread of tiny white hairs could be pulled off, Keke twirled the thread around his hands at both ends, and pulled hard when there was only a small part of the thread in the middle left.

Just when Keke was about to bleed because of the thread, the thread broke and made a ‘pluck’ sound. However, the part that broke was not the middle part in between.

“This is super cool! What do you plan to do with it, Ah-Xuan?” Keke asked while rubbing his hands that were almost wounded.

“I’m thinking about setting a trap with it if there’s enough time, to see if I can catch something.” Said Shao Xuan.

The team leader was even more unsatisfied.

Ta regretted taking him out this time, and he decided to kick him out of the advance group once they came back. He would not allow Shao Xuan into his advance group ever again!

When Ta announced the end of the break, Shao Xuan had collected and fletched lots of white hairs. He rolled them up into a big roll and put it into his animal skin bag. Those white hairs were very light. Although the roll looked large in size, it weighed only as much a mere small nut.

Then, they had to besiege and hunt for those jumping fruits.

Those jumping fruits that dislocated themselves from the tree, if they were cut they would be totally disabled. The warriors in the hunting team were quite experienced, so they hardly missed.

As for Shao Xuan, he was not even qualified enough to pick up those disabled jumping fruits. the team leader just told him to “Stay aside and try not to be a burden.”

Shao Xuan did not complain, but observed closely. He was learning how the others were striking the fruits.
