Chapter 367 (1/2)

I'm Not Giving You This

Their party was also chasing after the long-clawed squirrel monkey. The cunning monkey had gotten rid of them and the team had to split up to look for it. The five of them had rushed over as soon as they heard some noises.

When they heard the cry of the squirrel monkey, they felt extremely anxious when they knew somebody had managed to catch the squirrel monkey. However, they never expected the person to be from the Flaming Horn Tribe too.

They had made sure no Flaming Horn people were following them before the operation started. This operation was a secret, most of the people from their tribe were not aware of it except the few of them. And yet, here he was.

Despite the distance, the two tribes still managed to meet each other. They were unsure if it was a coincidence or was it on purpose... Were there more Flaming Horn people nearby?

If there weren’t, the five of them were quite confident to snatch the prey back from one young warrior.

The five of them had worked and hunted together for a long time, therefore a few looks were all it needed for them to reach a tacit agreement. The leader of the team and the rest of the men gave each other a quick look, then they turned to Shao Xuan at the same time.

“We didn’t expect to meet a fellow Flaming Horn tribesman here, weren’t you all out hunting?” the leader asked.

Shao Xuan didn’t say anything. He knew they had misunderstood him but he didn’t want to explain himself. He was confused too and it was not the right time for him to talk too much. So, he decided to listen to what they were about to say and tried to get some information from them.

From the tone of the five people, Shao Xuan speculated that the tribe of these people wer enemies of the Flaming Horn Tribe. Even though if they were not enemies, they were definitely in a competitive relationship, so Shao Xuan did not have to be extremely polite with them. Yet somehow, the relationship between the two tribes had not reached the extent of having a feud. Therefore, Shao Xuan was still deciding on the right way to treat them.

“Why do we have to meet the goddamn Flaming Horn people everywhere we go?!” one of the men whispered with a slightly impetuous tone, his features scrunched with anger and helplessness.

Although the other party’s voice was not loud, it was loud enough for everybody to hear his words clearly.

When the squirrel monkey that was caught by Shao Xuan realized that the relationship between the groups was not doing quite well, its eyes started to dart around. It tried its best to make several calls from his throat, slammed his tied legs hard and acted like it was going to die due to being strangled by Shao Xuan.

Unfortunately, Shao Xuan was not affected by it. Meanwhile, the other five people across only glanced at it once and were not bothered by it.

The other party’s tone was still quite peaceful, but it was not friendly either. Even if they tried their best to suppress their emotions, Shao Xuan could still easily sense the nervousness and defensiveness from their facial emotions.

Shao Xuan looked towards the one that spoke earlier, he raised his chin and said, “Carry on.”

Carry on? Carry on what?

The leader paused for a second, he thought that Shao Xuan did not take this squirrel monkey seriously and said happily, “We can trade other types of prey with you, meaty prey and as good as this squirrel monkey.” The leader’s tone emphasized on the word “good” and “meaty”, thinking that this deal sounded convincing to Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan acted like he was thinking about it, then he said to the five of them, “I’m not trading it with you.”

“You!” One of the men from the group could not hold it in anymore. He raised his fingers, pointed at Shao Xuan and said threateningly, “So what if you are so powerful? You are alone now and there are five of us here!”

The Flaming Horn people were supposed to be hunting at this time, so the man thought that Shao Xuan must have run away secretly. But the man was unsure why Shao Xuan ran so far away from the Flaming Horn’s territory, could it be Shao Xuan was following them on purpose?

Shao Xuan did not care about what the group was thinking about, his facial expression did not change even as he was threatened. “There’s five of you but you still couldn’t catch a monkey, that tells me enough about your true capabilities. Since I was the one who caught the monkey, it should be my prey, so what does it have to do with you guys?”

These five people were not aware that their attitude was not right, and it then led to Shao Xuan’s decision. If the five of them revealed slightly about their good friendship with the Flaming Horn tribe, Shao Xuan would not be so merciless and turned them down so directly.

Shao Xuan saw the group move their feet subtly and asked, “So, are you going to try to take it from me now?”

“Since you refuse to trade, we can only take it from you!” The leader’s expression and glare suddenly turn murderous. Anyone slightly less powerful would’ve been nervous.
