Chapter 136 – The Severing Land (2/2)

The Shaman looked at Shao Xuan, and was silent for a moment. Then he said, “It is very dangerous. You may not be able to return.”

“I know.” Shao Xuan had made the decision, and would not change his mind. “Please tell Uncle Mai about this.” He added.

The Shaman gave up persuading him out of this decision, and just let out a low sigh.

Shao Xuan knew he accepted his decision. Then he grinned, saluted him, and said, “Don’t worry, I will come back safely.”

The Shaman felt his eyelids twitch, and then waved his hand helplessly to let Shao Xuan go out at once.

In the following first hunting of this year, with the help of several ferocious beasts, Ta and the five group leaders would try to give good performance.

Mai was talking about the upcoming hunt with Qiao excitedly, and then he heard the message brought by Shao Xuan.

“Are you going to the Severing Land?”

The muscles on Mai’s face were twitching. He almost asked him word by word. He took a deep breath several times, pinched his hands, and almost could not help beating the person in front of him.

He knew that Shao Xuan would not give up without a try. What the hell was his promise last year!

This time he directly asked the Shaman for agreement, and the Shaman had agreed. What could he say!

“No, that place might be located on the other side of the mountain, or in other places. I’m just going to have a look to find out why Chacha always wants to go there.” Shao Xuan explained.

Hearing his explanation, Mai and Qiao felt even more worried.

They appreciated the courage of the warriors who were not afraid of death, but were unwilling to witness them taking unnecessary risks of death. Even the ancestors did not go to that place. Could Shao Xuan, who was not even a senior totem warrior, come back safely?

So terrible! Really terrible!

However, the hunting group did not know Shao Xuan’s plan of going there until they went from the first location to the third.

“The Severing Land! Don’t go there!”

“Ah-Xuan, listen to Mai. Don’t go.”

“If you go, you will not be able to come back. Don’t go. If Chacha really wants to go there, you can let it go alone. Why do you follow it?”

People in the hunting group were trying to persuade him out of going there. Over the past few years, they became closer with Shao Xuan, and were very optimistic about his development as a new warrior. More importantly, Shao Xuan was born in a cave near the mountain foot, but he was not inferior to those born higher up in the mountain, which made them proud of him.

In the eyes of many old warriors born near the mountain foot, Shao Xuan would have great achievements in the future, like those higher up on the mountain. He was supposed to live directly up on the mountain. Many of them often took Shao Xuan as an example to motivate their own children, like Sai’s father. Every time when he found Sai did not behave well, he always mentioned Shao Xuan. So now, Sai always very disliked seeing Shao Xuan.

But now, Shao Xuan intended to go to where the ancestors had not been. Did he want to die?!

Unfortunately, their persuasion was useless.

Why did the Shaman agree?

They did not understand.

But since the Shaman had agreed, they would no longer persuade him.

Mai asked Shao Xuan to have a talk with him alone, and also gave him a few good stone spears.

“Uncle Mai, if six days later I still do not come back, you don’t need to wait for me.” Said Shao Xuan.

Mai hesitated, but finally nodded.

Shao Xuan was not going to take Caesar with him, and he told Old Ke that if he did not come back, Old Ke could keep Caesar as a company.

The day before the departure for hunting, Shao Xuan did not bring Caesar, but left him in the tribe. When Shao Xuan left, Caesar also followed him for some distance. He did not stop until Shao Xuan scolded him.

After saying goodbye to the hunting group, Shao Xuan told Chacha to set out with him. And then, he held his feet as Chacha flew into the air. It was not easy to travel over the mountain, for there were hurdles on the way, and it was time-consuming. It would be easier for them to fly in the air, and there were not many large birds.

While standing on the ground, Chacha was slightly higher than Shao Xuan’s shoulder, so it was not so tiring for him to carry Shao Xuan.

They had been flying over this jungle, the more they moved forward, the fewer animals were found in the woods.

Half a day later, Shao Xuan saw the “Severing Land” that was recorded in the ancient volumes from the air.

It was a brown-colored thorny region, where there were very thick thorns, and branches covered with hard and sharp thorns. They overlapped with each other to keep people away. It looked like a horrible forest, almost blocking everything.

Some of the thorns near the ground were not very large, but they were still terrifying, like a pair of bloody eyes. They looked like an evil staring at each creature flying over the thorns.

Even the ferocious beasts that dominated the other places in the woods did not set foot here.
