Chapter 258 - How big (2/2)

“Good.” Although Shao Xuan was unhappy for the intervention of the Hui tribe, he saw Gu La and noticed he had something to say. He didn’t refuse him.

After entering the hole, Gu La told someone to guard the hole to stop others from getting close.

“Do you know what he just said to me?” Gu La asked.

This “he” referred to the leader of the Dishan tribe.

“No idea.” Shao Xuan had not expected Gu La to even tell him this.

Gu La said in the low voice: “A fire crystal mine.”

Shao Xuan’s eyelids twitched. No wonder the people of the Hui tribe were willing to help those of the Dishan tribe. The fire crystal mine was really tempting.

“In the grasslands, there is a small mine. The Dishan tribe found it, but they have not been able to grab it yet. There are others trying to snatch it.” Gu La said with irony, “I know what they’re playing at. They want us to fight for it so that they can get it without much effort, isn’t that right?”

Gu La paused and asked Shao Xuan: “Do you want to have a look at it?”

Shao Xuan shook his head, “Since it is in the grasslands, we will not go there, for it is too far.”

Gu La had asked this in order to guess the situation of the Flaming Horns tribe based on Shao Xuan’s reaction. Unexpectedly he got such an answer.

“Where is your tribe? If we come out for travel again, we may visitthe Flaming Horns tribe.” Gu La said.

“Oh, it is not too far away.” Shao Xuan pointed to one direction. “Go in that direction. It is in the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest.”

Gu La: “...”

The others of the Hui tribe had been listening carefully: “...”

Even Shan Dao, who had stretched to look outside also made a strange cry.

Gu La no longer looked calm and said: “If I remember correctly, the Wan Shi tribe is over there.”

“Yes,” Shao Xuan nodded, “it is just next to the Wan Shi tribe. They are outside the forest, but we are inside it.”

Gu La asked more questions about the Flaming Horns tribe, but Shao Xuan didn’t reply. Gu La knew that even if he kept asking, he would not get the answers. Then he talked about the Hui tribe and his keeping of Shan Dao.

“It’s not easy!” Gu La sighed.

Shao Xuan nodded while listening to him: “Raising them is really not easy.”

“Indeed.” Speaking of this, Gu La was excited again, “In the beginning, Shan Dao was the smallest egg in the nest, like this.”

Gu La said, and also swung his hands to show how ”small” it had been.

Shao Xuan looked, as Gu La said, if the egg was put vertically, it came higher than his knee. It had been “the smallest egg in that nest”. Because of this, Shao Xuan looked strange.

Gu La spoke excitedly, “When Shan Dao came out, he was the weakest among his brothers and sisters. After all, it was the smallest egg. Some people said it is difficult to hatch the smallest egg of the giant mountain eagle. Even if it hatched, it would also be difficult for it to survive, let alone grow up. When I brought Shan Dao here, I had little hope. Unexpectedly, Shan Dao survived, and now he became the strongest among his siblings. Even in the whole tribe, among the mountain eagles of the same size, he is the most powerful!”

Gu La said with obvious pride on his face.

In the Hui tribe, he really deserved praise because of this. Unexpectedly, During Shan Dao’s first outing, he encountered Chacha and was defeated. He suffered a crushing defeat.

The fight between the giant mountain eagles had always been like this. There were many fights among the mountain eagles in the tribe, and many losers even suffered a lot more than Shan Dao had. Gu La thought he wasn’t bullied, for the giant mountain eagles should meet challenges head-on and become tough. In this way, they would be able to overcome difficulties in the future. This was why when Gu La saw Shan Dao defeated, he didn't get very angry.

Thinking of this, Gu La curiously asked Shao Xuan: “Chacha looks very good, and very strong. It is the strongest among the eagles of the same size I have seen. The egg was also very big, right?”

Shao Xuan: “...Oh.”

“How big was it in the end? Don't worry. Tell me the truth. I have seen bigger eggs. Tell me, how big it was?”

Shao Xuan showed his index finger and thumb, and made a gesture: “Like this.”

Gu La: “...” Do you think I have not seen the giant mountain eagle eggs?!
