Chapter 207 – The chasers (1/2)

Edited by Ilesyt

When the leader of the patrol team of the Longboat tribe was wondering what kind of tribe the Flaming Horns tribe was, Shao Xuan’s group was hurrying along their journey thanks to the fine weather.

Originally he had planned to take a boat to travel, but found that there was still a lot of ice on the river. Although the ice was not too thick, it would certainly make it difficult to row the boat. In the Longboat tribe there was little livestock. The people of this tribe never traded livestock. Therefore they couldn’t travel by riding. Finally they decided to leave on foot.

Another four people joined them, so Chacha couldn’t carry them as before. Moreover, Yan Zhi and the others found it tiring to travel quickly, because they had not awakened their totem power yet. That was why they slowed down a lot.

After walking for more than half a day, Shao Xuan stopped to let everyone have a rest.

“Here, we have completely left the Longboat tribe, right?” Yang Sui asked.

“Maybe, I have never come so far from the tribe before.” Thinking about it, Yan Zhi said, “But I have taken a boat and travel such a long distance at that time.”

They had been deceived into leaving and got into trouble in a place which was far from the Longboat tribe. Had they been unlucky, they would have not been able to return to the wanderer area of the Longboat tribe safely.

But this time, they had completely different feelings.

Jiao Wu looked around and saw that the mountains were covered with something white. In some places on the mountain the snow had melted, so some rock and plants were exposed . If the fine weather lasted for five or six days, more would be exposed.

The weather here was better than that in the tribe, right now at this time it must be snowing with a heavy wind there.

An eagle’s cry was heard in the air, it seemed just like any other cry. But Shao Xuan was the only one who knew that Chacha had noticed something irregular, because he was familiar with Chacha.

“Someone is coming!” Shao Xuan said.

The people who were resting became nervous at once.

“Who?” Yan Zhi asked.

Shao Xuan looked at the sky, and then looked to where the Longboat tribe was located.

“The people of the Longboat tribe?” Yan Zhi asked bepuzzled, “They seldom go out in the winter.”

“No, not the people of the Longboat tribe,” Shao Xuan said, “maybe the travelers.”

Hearing this, Yan Zhi and the others felt worried and scared.

“Did they really chase us here to kill us?!” Although it didn’t snow, but the weather was still very cold. So Jiao Wu couldn’t believe that they still chased them.

Looking at the sky once again, Shao Xuan said to Yan Zhi and the others, “You find a place to hide.”

“And you?” Yan Zhi asked.

Yan Zhi sighed. They all felt helpless and very depressed, but they had to do as Shao Xuan said. If they didn’t do so, they would only bring trouble to Shao Xuan and be killed.

Huo Qiu, who had confronted with Shao Xuan in the wanderer area that day, was there. He was leading the group that was chasing them.

That day, after Huo Qiu had returned from the wanderer area with his men, he had felt even angrier, because he had been scolded and beaten by the leader of the traveling team due to his report about the situation. It had taken him two days to heal.

He had thought that the leader would directly help them give a lesson to the warriors of the Flaming Horns tribe. But several people of the Longboat tribe came looking for them, so the senior totem warriors of the traveling team were blocked. So Huo Qiu could only chase after them himself. There were still some footprints in the snow. Although the footprints were not very clear, Huo Qiu was sure that those were their footprints.

The tracks of wanderers were different from those of totem warriors.

But he didn’t know whether Shao Xuan was there.

Thinking of Shao Xuan, Huo Qiu was a little scared. But he only hesitated for a moment, and then they continued to chase them. Even if they couldn’t defeat them, he believed that they only needed to stop them moving forward and wait for their leader to arrive.

Huo Qiu was confident that they could stop them from moving forward.

While thinking about that, Huo Qiu suddenly felt a strong sense of danger.

“Be careful!” Huo Qiu said.
