Chapter 251 - Searching (2/2)

“Who did you fight with?” Lang Ga asked.

“He probably fought with a bird of his size and perhaps of the same race.” Shao Xuan took a feather with blood from his claw, which was a trophy. When Chacha flew back, his claw was still holding it. Obviously, the blood on the feather was not his blood.

The several feathers held by Chacha’s claw had almost the same size and color as his feathers. If Shao Xuan was not familiar with Chacha , he may even mistakenly think that they were all pulled off from Chacha.

“You look so joyful. Did you win?” Lang Ga said praisingly.

“Jiao~” Chacha replied and proudly flapped his wings.

Unlike Caesar’s intimacy with the Flaming Horns tribe, Chacha had always been alienated from the others, not to mention the fact that there were many strangers in this team. After Shao Xuan gave him the medicine, he flew back to the sky and followed the team. He did not fly away this time.

The feathers were his loot, so Shao Xuan helped him keep them. After they returned to the tribe, he would have Old Ke store them. When Chacha returned with trophies, Old Ke always kept some of them.

The wanderers were very curious about the two ferocious beasts in the team. But they did not dare to come close to Caesar, and Chacha in the sky was too far away from them. They could only look up at him. They did not expect that the Flaming Horns tribe would even have ferocious beasts. A tribe with ferocious beasts should be a strong tribe, right?

After leaving the grasslands, the team did not go back immediately, but went to another place. In that place, the leaders responsible for gathering, like Kun Tu, had agreed to meet the when they would come out of the grasslands.

The grasslands were large and there was not only one way out, and the shortest route for Kun Tu was not necessarily the shortest route for the people living in other places on the grasslands. Therefor they all set out separately.

“There’s a market there and a lot of travelers will pass by. But we didn't agree to meet in a place located in the market, instead, on a mountain. It is close to the market. Use this whistle to make contact.” Kun Tu told their arrangement to Mai.

In order to return to the old land and the tribe, they had made great efforts. Wanderers had always been a vulnerable group. Wherever they were, they were the weak. Even when they just collected some information, some of them were killed.

Getting along for two days, Mai knew a little about Kun Tu. He was smart and calm, no wonder Old He and the others always turned to him. Without Kun Tu, the wanderers in this side of the grasslands may not have been able to come here safely.

Although there were many untrustworthy people among the wanderers, most of them were loyal for they came so far. Otherwise, they would not take such a big risk, even considering that they heard that the tribe was in the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forests.

They arrived at the market Kun Tu spoke about after they left the grasslands and then walked for another day. Because they moved with wanderers and livestock, they slowed down a lot. If the totem warriors traveled alone, they could be there in half a day, but it was different when they went with the wanderers.

The market was popular among many travelers who went through the grasslands, and many of the travelers rested there before entering or leaving the grassland.

Kun Tu did not know where the other wanderers were, he had never left the grasslands. Everything he knew was by exchanging some food for info and asking several team leaders. When he arrived there, he was still confused. Even if he could refer to a map, it would be difficult to locate himself accurately, not to mention the fact that they did not have a map at the time.

Kun Tu kept his appointment and blew the wooden whistle. But there was no response.

“Haven’t they arrived here yet?” Someone asked.

“No, we are late a few days because of the tribal war and they are closer to this place than us. Did they get pulled into a tribal war? Even if some did, not every group would be the case. A war doesn’t break out so often on the grasslands.” Someone retorted.

Even if not all the teams arrived here, one or two should have arrived. However, no matter how Kun Tu whistled, there was still no response. Some of the travelers who went past them looked at them with curiosity. If the warriors of the Flaming Horns tribe didn’t look powerful and weren’t accompanied by Caesar, those travelers who were not afraid of them may even attack them.

Not receiving any response from them, Kun Tu became anxious and Mai frowned.

Shao Xuan looked at the sky, Chacha did not give him any messages, which meant there were no wanderers in the surrounding area.

“There are no wanderers around, we first find a place for them to rest and then continue to search.” Shao Xuan told Mai.

With so many wanderers and livestock, it was not easy to walk around.

Searching around the mountain, Shao Xuan and Mai decided to settle the wanderers and the livestock they had bought there. Then Shao Xuan went with Kun Tu and more than twenty warriors to continue to look for more wanderers. The remaining half of the warriors and Caesar were left behind to protect the wanderers.

They took Kun Tu to look for the wanderers around there. They also looked for them in groups, but they still did not see any wanderers.

Kun Tu’s whistle was different from Shao Xuan’s and the sound was not the same. Mai worried that they heard the whistle, but as it was not the same as that of Kun Tu, they would not respond. Therefore, he had to bring Kun Tu wherever they went.

They searched the mountains near the market, but they did not find any wanderers. Shao Xuan advised to ask for some information in the market. After all, there were so many wanderers. Though they covered their tracks, they would be seen. In that case, they could get some information about them.
