Chapter 153 – Tribe (1/2)

CoPW 153 – Tribe

Translated by Jon

There wasn’t any mention of tribes living across the river on the animal hide that the Shaman had given to Shao Xuan.

What the hides had told him was that in the past, this area was nothing but wasteland.

For some unknown reason, during the ancestor’s time, they left their old homes in search of new lands. Unexpectedly, the ground split open, and the gap gradually grew larger and larger, until the other side couldn’t be seen.

Shao Xuan speculated that after the giant crevice had appeared, the rapid topological changes caused water to flow in from other areas. The crevices quickly filled up and turned into a river, and then various lifeforms entered, including the fierce creatures he had seen in the water.

However, the formation of this river stood firm, blocking the ancestors return path.

After the river’s formation, the ancestors had held it in great reverence. And so, when they had wanted to return, they would look for alternative routes instead of passing through the river. Adding to that was the fact that there were various threats lurking in the river.

Approximately a millennium has passed since then, and the Flaming Horn tribe, that was separated by the crevice, has been living in isolation.

While on this side of the river, great changes have also occurred. What was once considered a wasteland has now become a swampy land covered with water, that now houses a tribe.

Luckily, there wasn’t a language barrier and they could easily converse.

“What is your tribe called?” Shao Xuan asked.

The other party did not respond. Getting up, he carefully sized Shao Xuan and asked, “Were you truly in the river for twenty days?”

“Indeed.” Shao Xuan responded.

“Liar!”

The other party cried out, walking towards Shao Xuan with large strides as his fist came flying in an imposing manner.

Bang!

Shao Xuan’s palm caught the incoming fist.

At this moment, the other party realized that his fist had been firmly grasped by Shao Xuan. Failing to break free, his eyes let out a murderous light, and his other hand shot out like lightning, grabbing onto Shao Xuan’s wrist. At the same time, with an abrupt twist of his ankle, he launched himself up, spinning rapidly in the air.

The mud on the boy’s body flung out in all four directions as he spun through the air.

Pa!

His two feet fell to the ground, his spinning coming to a halt.

“I won’t let you trick me… huh?!” His triumphant expression froze, his eyes widening as he looked incredulously at his hands.

He originally thought that he could have twisted Shao Xuan’s arm, but instead of doing so, he found himself bound up by grass rope. He raised his head to find Shao Xuan in perfect condition, and then looked at his two hands. How did this happen?!

Just now, the boy was lying down motionless, recovering his strength. Then, with the small amount of strength he regained, he actually used it against his savior!

What kind of person is he?

The previous strike had used up all of the boy’s strength. With his hands tied, raggedly gasping for breath, he glared fiercely at Shao Xuan.

The boy’s face and arms were still covered in mud, but after spinning around, most of the mud had flung off. This allowed Shao Xuan to get a clearer view of him.

When the boy was attacking him, Shao Xuan had noticed that the boy’s body lit up with totem lines. Every one of his lines connected as they covered his whole body, and on his face, the kid’s mouth opened almost as far up as his ears, revealing a row of sharp teeth. Shao Xuan was confident enough to bet that the kid had personally sharpened them to be used for biting.

Right now, without any strength, the patterns on the boy’s body had disappeared, and his mouth was restored to its original appearance.

“I’ve never thought that there would actually be someone who would attack their savior! It seems your tribe isn’t filled with good people.” Shao Xuan said.

“It’s you who isn’t a good person! Thief!” The boy stubbornly said.

“What did I steal? Don’t you use your eyes to see? Daring to call someone a thief without using your eyes to confirm it, that’s called slander. Do you even know what slander means? For someone like you, who only knows how to talk crap, do you have shit for brains?

Have you heard the story of the farmer and the snake? Oh, you have definitely never heard it before. It goes, even if a person saves the life of a snake, he will still be bitten in the end. Next time you encounter danger, let us see who will save you! Do you still remember the taste of death?!”

Shao Xuan spouted out a tirade, saying whatever came to his mind without thinking. He noticed there were people around; they were probably with this kid. They had just arrived and were observing the spectacle, so Shao Xuan announced everything that had happened, voicing out the injustice he had received. If the kid continued to say the same things as before, then they would be irreconcilable and he would fly off to another place with Chacha.

After the boy was bombarded by Shao Xuan’s words, although there were a few he didn’t understand, it didn’t hinder his general comprehension.

Could he really have made a mistake?
