Chapter 173 – Such strength (2/2)

These were some people who exchanged stone materials for some food, similarly they were wanderers too, but they had a difference as well. They were considered one of the stronger ones in the area, and they were a group too. The other wanderers did not dare to offend them.

In the wanderers’ area, that group was living the best life they could, and they were more overbearing too. The fruits that they find in the mountains, they would not let others take a single one away, and when seeing that the others had hunted small animals, they would also actively snatch them away. As the saying goes, with more people together comes more power, these few that had grouped together were also of considerably strong strength. The other wanderers would not dare to recklessly go against them, those that had were already dead.

The scene where Shao Xuan had beat up that slave just now, these few had seen it all. They were gloating and laughing at someone else’s misfortune as well. This was also because they had also suffered under that slave before, especially that chief. They had even secretly thought of roasting the snake that was always with that slave.

Isn’t it just only a slave? Showing off his prowess, always keeping such a huge snake on him; just to show others that he is stronger than the rest of the wanderers. After all, it was not everyone that could withstand the weight of an enormous snake and walk around freely. Also, that act of his, does he think if he acts like that, he can really be a slave master?

Therefore, when they saw that slave with the snake be defeated, their hearts were secretly elevated to no end. However now, seeing that Shao Xuan was walking towards them, some of them felt perturbed.

“Boss, he…..he’s walking towards us!” Someone softly exclaimed.

“I know!” The person being called as ‘boss’ answered while suppressing his voice.

“What does he plan to do? Snatch our food?!” The wanderers encountered food snatching the most, therefore the first thing they would think of naturally would be this.

“He wouldn’t be trying to take revenge for Yan Shuo right?” They had found trouble for Yan Shuo before, but later, they realised that Yan Shuo’s strength was indeed stronger than the rest, that he was a hard stubble. So they didn’t have any conflicts with each other, they would not bother to waste time on Yan Shuo. They had just gone to find some trouble with him a few times, and later didn’t bother with him anymore.

Seeing Shao Xuan coming closer and closer, some of their hearts were even more uneased. After, they had all somehow made the same actions: they took down their meat that was still not finished roasting from the fire, not caring if it was hot or not, and just hurriedly stuffed it all into their mouths. This way, the other can’t snatch it right?

Shao Xuan walked over, swept a glance over, then headed towards the guy lying against the rock.

That ‘boss’ saw Shao Xuan heading towards himself, he stuffed his meat in even faster, his hands even trembling a little. The end of the slave’s snake just now, he could still remember it clearly.

His head facing down, that ‘boss’ did not dare to face Shao Xuan, his cheeks drummed up, his mouth stuffed full with meat. He still had not managed to swallow it down his pharynx before he started to stuff another piece of meat in, stuffing till the point that his mouth wouldn’t close.

“Would you please move.”

The head heard the sounds of Shao Xuan’s footsteps coming.

If it were the other people, they would have gotten into a fight long ago, but looking at the eagle that was playing with that slave’s dead snake made the hearts of the people around feel tangled up. Fight? Or do we still have to pay up the meat we swallowed? Or is it necessary to apologize?

“Get off.” Shao Xuan said to the man still on the rock.

This time the boss snapped out of his fear and reacted, quickly moving his ass off of the rock. Seeing that he hadn’t moved far away from the rock once down, he quickly stepped back to create some distance. Looking back at his associates, he found that they had already stood up and ran away earlier.

Really, those cowards he called teammates would abandon him, their boss, in the face of trouble.

Bastards!

The boss cursed in his heart, thinking that he shouldn’t make any sudden movements or run away now, incase he might anger this person.

However, before he got up, he found something wrong. The whispers and talks around them seemed to have stopped, the air becoming like static.

Did something happen?

Feeling the tense atmosphere and seeing the people from the corner of his eyes, the boss found them acting very strange.

He hesitantly looked back at Shao Xuan, but soon found that on the ground next to him, there was a big shadow, and that the shadow was moving.

This is……

Stiffly turning his neck, he looked to the other side, and saw that the boulder that would have taken a few people to move, was easily lifted. Don’t even mention throwing the huge rock, just trying to get it to budge was difficult.

“Puff……Cough!”

Every single action this guy did was crazy, the boss felt like his moods became erratic from watching him. It was to the point that he wanted to spit blood.

The people who had run away before were looking on from the side. Their mouths were hanging open, you could see the meat they had stuffed inside. One by one, their eyes bulged as they looked on.

Since there was a large flow of travelling tribes coming and going, the wanderers had seen other totem warriors move large stones before. But they had never seen someone just picking up a boulder as if it weighed nothing more than a piece of wood.

With the boulder in his hands, Shao Xuan carried the boulder to where Yan Shuo was, and since the ground there was raised, Shao Xuan jumped over with the boulder firmly in place.

The people around were stunned, “……”

Yan Shuo’s wife looked at Shao Xuan as he easily carried the large stone over, her eyelids jumped and twitched as she recalled what Yan Shuo said about the Flaming Horns strength. “I now believe you when you said that the ‘Flaming Horns tribe warriors can easily carry a bear’.”
