Chapter 240 - Travel by land (1/2)

Edited by Ilesyt

The wanderers in the cabin and the warriors of the Flaming Horns tribe who came in after hearing the noise had different views about what they saw. Suddenly, they all heard cracks from the two that fell down on the ground.

The sound was not loud, but everyone in the cabin heard it because of the absolute silence.

The crowd looked over at the same time and saw their bodies changing gradually. They had looked weak and thin due to injuries, diseases, and a hard life. Now their bodies stretched and swelled. Although they did not look very strong, they looked much better than before.

The warriors of the Flaming Horns tribe noticed the danger when seeing the two.

The wanderers in the cabin were shocked, for they were also aware of their obvious change.

It was impossible for wanderers to have such a change!

“Ah-Xuan, who are they?” A warrior of the Flaming Horns tribe asked.

“They may have come from another tribe.” Shao Xuan didn’t say more. He just reminded those in the cabin to take the medicine. Then he brought the fainted two and left the ship.

After Shao Xuan left, the wanderers in the cabin felt relieved. They had realized that he had attacked because he had found something wrong. They didn’t expect that some totem warriors of another tribe had hidden among them. They now became vigilant and just stayed with those they were familiar with and stayed away from those they didn’t know.

Shao Xuan brought the two to another ship, where Ao and the two team leaders stayed.

“Are they...?” Ao looked at the fainted two and asked.

They were asked to come here by Shao Xuan, who had told them some people of another tribe hid among them. On hearing this, they had rushed here without any delay.

“Yes. Perhaps they targeted us when we were in the Drumming tribe.” Shao Xuan said.

“Who are they?” Ta asked.

“I guess they are from ‘Thieves’. Before we left, the Drumming tribe lost something, probably something important. It was kept by the shaman of the Drumming tribe, but it was stolen.” Shao Xuan told them his guess.

That evening, Shao Xuan had notixed something off and everyone knew this. But they hadn’t known the shaman of the Drumming tribe lost something.

The thief was so crafty that he could steal something from a shaman of a tribe.

Ao and the others became serious instantly.

“Did they steal it?” Ao pointed at the fainted two.

“No, the thief wasn’t caught that night. He escaped. The two are also from ‘Thieves’, maybe. But they are not as crafty as him.” Shao Xuan said.

Ao and the two team leaders thought that they might have planned to steal the fire crystals they brought with them. Their eyes looked vicious for a moment.

“Kill them!” The three said almost at the same time.

“I know we should kill them. But I want to get more information about the Thief that hid in the Drumming tribe from them. Perhaps that thief has targeted us and he hasn’t been found yet.”

He had used needles coated in poison to throw at the two. That was the poison of a plant he had brought from the other side of the river. It was effective for a short period of time so that a totem warrior would fall unconscious. But the poison didn’t work long.

After about an hour, the two woke up

Questioned by Ao and the others, they didn’t speak. When Shao Xuan said he had met the Thief that night, the two finally made a response.

“Who is he?” Shao Xuan asked.

“I have no idea.” The woman said. Her breasts rose as she breathed. Her animal skin coat was torn when she was brought here, so they could see her breasts vaguely because of the dark light.

She looked at Ao and the other two several steps away from her. Her eyes told her plea and begged, “Spare me! Please. I came here out of curiosity and I didn’t steal anything.”

Their hands and feet were tied and the poison still worked in their bodies. That was why they could only move slightly.

That woman spoke while twisting her body and her animal skin coat was pulled down. Seeing this, Shao Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Ao and the other two behind him.

This woman was playing a trick. Perhaps she had had a lot of similar experiences, but this time she faced with the men of the Flaming Horns tribe.
