Chapter 236 - Who (2/2)

Shaw Xuan felt it carefully and found some people that he was familiar with, such as Fu Shi, Qing Yi, Fan Mu... etc.

Some of them didn’t leave the party and some were patrolling in the woods. Only one was... abnormal!

In the front, there was a moving spot coming towards him. This spot was not as white as the people of the Drumming tribe. Instead it was an unobtrusive gray. If he was not careful enough, it would’ve been easy for him to miss this spot.

Not a person of the Drumming tribe?

He was very strange. Naturally he was not a member of the Flaming Horns tribe.

So who was he?

Shao Xuan opened his eyes and looked to the front.

There were almost no footsteps, but he was approaching.

Shao Xuan stood still with a sword in his hand, looking at that place quietly.

Probably he had noticed Shao Xuan found him, so he no longer hid himself. His footsteps became loud, but he still controlled the sound and rhythm. It sounded as if a patrol warrior of the Drumming tribe walked at such a speed and made such noise.

A strong figure came out. Judging from his stature, he looked and dressed like many warriors of the Drumming tribe.

“Are you a member of the Flaming Horns tribe?” The wild voice of the man showed randomness and familiarity, as if the people of the Drumming tribe said to those of the Flaming Horns tribe.

Shao Xuan also saw his appearance as the man slowly approached.

He looked like a person of the Drumming tribe.

“You are a patrol warrior? What is your name?” Shao Xuan asked.

The man smiled, and it seemed he was a bit embarrassed to tell him.

“I was just, being lazy and taking a rest, and just going for a...” The man said slowly and finally he stopped before finishing the sentence.

“Really keen.” The man glanced at Shao Xuan’s sword in his hand. He noticed that Shao Xuan did not have confusion so he knew that he was recognized. He no longer made any excuses, and even his tone changed.

“Actually, I am just a bystander.” He said. His voice didn’t betray his age or gender.

Crack, crack, crack...

With sounds of several cracks of bones, Shao Xuan saw that the man’s body shape was changing. He had been burly but now became thin. His face was also changing. He no longer looked like a member of the Drumming tribe.

Bang!

It was like the sound of a wooden pillar falling down.

The man suddenly pushed off his feet, his legs were as lean a wet wood. However, it seemed that they were as hard as the steel. Shockwaves were caused by such a powerful force, and everything touched by his feet scattered around. The weeds on the ground were torn into small pieces, and that slightly dry soil in the bush instantly smashed to dust.

The man stamped, jumped, and rushed towards Shao Xuan. His entire leg that swung to him was as cold as a sword, and showed its arching orbit in the air. It attacked Shao Xuan with great strength.

Shao Xuan did not intend to resist this attack directly, but he chose to retreat to avoid it.

Missing the target, the man did not stop. Like a snake biting others, he stamped and bounced again, and it seemed he wanted to try once again.

However, beyond the expectations of Shao Xuan, this time, after stamping, he disappeared. He didn’t hid himself, but ran away.

Shao Xuan: “...”

The man only took two steps since he was discovered.

In the first step, he tried to kick Shao Xuan, and looked as vicious as a beast’s claw and a serpent’s teeth. It seemed that he had intended to kill Shao Xuan. However, in the second step, he suddenly changed his strategy and then ran away.

Shao Xuan did not follow him for the man acted in such a strange manner. He could run so fast that it was not easy to catch up with him. Moreover, he was so powerful. In addition, Shao Xuan did not feel that the man attempted to kill him even if he had just tried to kick aggressively, but he had failed. He did so in order to frighten Shao Xuan and retreat immediately.

Shao Xuan looked at the man disappear in the distance, and wondered who on earth he was.

When he had stayed in the Drumming tribe before, he had encountered someone who was good at camouflage. He was not a member of the Martyr tribe.

Could he be the man what the people of Drumming tribe called “Thief”?

His purpose was to steal water moonstones? But he couldn’t be. There were so many water moonstones along the way and none was stolen.

So, as he said, was he just a bystander ?

Encountering such a strange person, Shao Xuan naturally would not keep it as a secret. He took out the wooden whistle and blew it. Hearing the whistle, the patrol warriors closest to him came here, and so did those who had not left and stayed with Fan Mu. They didn’t know the meaning of the whistle of the Flaming Horns tribe, but they knew Shao Xuan would not just whistle for no reason.
