Chapter 252 - Bored people (1/2)

Edited by Ilesyt

They came to the market. There were travelers walking scattered, some of them were probably from the tribes on the grasslands and lived close from here. They sold things at fixed stalls. They gathered with the members of their tribe as they were of being bullied.

The markets in the Mang tribe and the Eight Limbs tribe were orderly because they were under the control of at least two tribes. That was why others did not dare to cause trouble. If anybody caused trouble, those two tribes would not let them go.

It was different here, for there were often fights among large groups. When Shao Xuan got there, a fight had just ended, which was caused by two traveling teams. Some warriors of both team got injured or were killed. A lot of bloodstains were still left on the battlefield. Some people were cleaning up the corpses, while others who had seen such a scene before just stepped on the ground covered by blood and bodies clamly.

In this place, everything depended on your strength. They obeyed the most primal law. If you didn’t have strength, you would be slaughtered, and no one would care about it.

Fortunately, compared with the markets in the Mang tribe and the Eight Limbs tribe, this was not part of the central region. Only a few of those travelers were from the tribes in the central region. This place was close to the grasslands, so most were warriors from the tribes on the grasslands. There were many people from nearby tribes that came here to trade.

People sold at stalls here. Some people sold cows, goats and other livestock, and others did as the Pu tribe, who bought things from other places and sold them here again.

Most of the things sold in the market were livestock, food, tools, weapons and herbs. In general, the variety was no less than the market of the two tribes. And the market here was quite lively. After all, it was the only place where people could trade.

Tall and strong warriors were talking loudly. Some people directly fought with others because they did not finish the transaction. Such things could happen at any time.

Shao Xuan inquired someone about the market. It was said that no wanderer groups had come here, which made Mai a little disappointed. It seemed to be not easy to find the wanderers.

Kun Tu did not give up. Even in the market, he whistled ever so often, hoping that someone could hear the whistle in the market. Otherwise, how would they find the other wanderers in such a big place? Maybe the other people were not as fortunate and they got in deep trouble because they didn’t meet the warriors sent bythe Flaming Horns tribe.

It was the same as Kun Tu’s whistle.

“They are here!” Kun Tu’s eyes flashed and looked around. It was difficult for him to determine the location in a short time.

Mai’s hearing was better. They immediately found the location.

“Over there! Go, go!” There was a clue at last. Mai was very happy, but was also worried, because the mountain was a place where the travelers were resting. A large number of people stayed there and the situation was complicated because of the power struggle. They were totem warriors. For the wanderers, that was really not a good place.

Shao Xuan had encountered such a mountain. In the market of the Mang tribe and the Eight Limbs tribe, he followed the traveling team of the Pu tribe and stayed in similar caves and he witnessed a fight. All depended on strength if you wanted to stay in a cave. Because of this, he wondered why Kun Tu said the wanderers would go there.

Kun Tu blew the whistle twice and stopped. He blew it again, but there was no response.

“Why aren’t they blowing?” Lang Ga was puzzled.

“Maybe something bad happened.” Shao Xuan said.

As a place used to rest, the mountain was quite hollowed out. There were several entrances and exits, and the most important one directly divided the arched mountain. If you looked down from above, this mountain where travelers rested looked like an arch of nearly three hundred degrees.

Many of the holes in the mountain were manually dug, such holes could be seen everywhere.

When Shao Xuan hurried to the mountain, there were ten wanderers standing at a place on the arched mountain. Several of them were injured and hadn’t wiped the blood off. And in the front, a traveling team surrounded them.

Other people were watching this place as if they were watching a movie. No one intervened in this situation. Such an incident actually gave them some entertainment. They stood in the holes where their teams stayed, looking at what was happening there.

Among the ten people, the leader was called Chi Yi. He was holding a wooden whistle in his hand. But it was not he who whistled, rather a young man beside him. But before he could blow the whistle again, Chi Yi took it. He naturally knew his companions were nearby, but he did not want to let them come here. They were wanderers. And this place was like a big mouth, and those totem warriors were the sharp teeth in the big mouth. If a wanderer came in, he would get badly injured and even die. They could sacrifice their lives, but others should not get involved in it.

In front of Chi Yi, the traveling team watched them jokingly as if they were the prey in the cage.

“Why don’t you continue to blow it? Did your companions come here? Go on and blow it, tell them to come here. I want to see what your companions are like.” A man of the traveling team said.

“Yeah, keep blowing. We welcome all of you.”

“Are there any women?” Someone beside him echoed.
