Chapter 249 - Strange insects (1/2)

Edited by Ilesyt

In accordance with the descriptions by the wanderers, the patroling team immediately returned to inform the others and tried their best to find the insects, which Gua Er and others may encounter.

Those wanderers with minor injuries also helped them look for the insects at the border. They could not enter the tribe, but they could still reach the border and give a hand to Old He.

Since the blurry totem patterns appeared on their bodies, they had gradually become stronger. Especially the last time, that night, they felt particularly excited, they even had the illusion that they were true totem warriors. Because they became strong, they could walk all the way here and so many of them could survive. On the mountain, some people wanted to kill them in the war, but they jointly defeated the attackers, although inevitably some of them were injured and some even died.

While the Feng tribe was panicking by the news of the wanderers, the three that went to look for the missing sheep, as everybody expected, ran into trouble.

The three children were running very quickly and out of breath.

“Hurry up! It is going to catch up with us!” Gua Er roared.

They now extremely regretted why they had not just immediately informed the others. Not long after they had left the herd, their attention was attracted by some wool on the ground. They walked for a while, but they did not meet the patrolling warriors. Suddenly they noticed something behind them. The bumps on the ground were rising quickly and approaching them.

The three ran, even farther away from the residential area. At the beginning, they also ran while shouting. They hoped that someone around could hear their shouts, hoping that they could meet the patrol team. However, until now, they met none of the Feng tribe. When they focused on the surrounding area, they saw that it was empty. Although they were still on the site of the Feng tribe, they were close to the border and few came here.

The pursuers behind them seemed to deliberately avoid the patroling team and chased them here.

The three were so tired that they could no longer shout. They just kept running.

Thinking of what he had said, “If I find the one who stole livestock, I will kill him.” But now Gua Er knew he was wrong.

“Run over there. Don’t run out of the tribe!” Gua Er changed his direction with the two, but soon, they found that they had underestimated them.

Another red-brown insect climbed out of the ground and blocked them in front.

The insect was wider than their total width, and the erected earth was longer than three horses in a row. Its small and pointed head and two pincering teeth were moving. Its first two legs were like two long and soft sickles, they were swinging flexibly, inciting fear into the onlookers.

On the border, there were low hills. Climbing the low hills, they left the Feng tribe.

They had never left the tribe since birth. The adults had warned them that only when they stayed in the tribe they could be safe. Once they left the tribe, they would be chased by the other tribes.

But now they had no choice.

Gua Er clenched his teeth, rapidly changed his direction, ran towards the direction away from the tribe, and shouted: “Run!”

Duo Ya and Nai closely followed him.

When Gua Er ran away, he thought of his parents’ words. If he had a sheep, he could throw it to the beast that he had encountered and that chased him. The beast would get the sheep and give up killing him temporarily. If so, he could have a chance to escape.

At the moment, two insects chased them. Duo Ya and he were the members of the Feng tribe, but Ah-Nai was a wanderer. Wanderers, in the minds of many people, were the “sheep” that were abandoned when they were in danger.
