Chapter 367 (2/2)

But Shao Xuan chuckled, “You really think the five of you can defeat me?”

The five of them were angered by Shao Xuan’s condescending tone. They knew that using threatening methods on the Flaming Horn people would mostly be ineffective, therefore they planned to rob it forcibly.

Five sources of energy suddenly exploded, water totem patterns appeared on their bodies like waves. Among them, there were two advanced totemic warriors and three mid-rank totemic warriors. They would’ve been excluded from this secret operation if they were not powerful.

The five of them knew the greatest strength of the Flaming Horn people, which was their alarming physical strength. Therefore, it would be stupid to compete with the Flaming Horn people based on strength.

So they decided to fight based on other qualities, such as speed, flexibility and with the advantage of the number of people they had. Even though the Flaming Horn people hunted with great speed and adaptibility too, these characteristics were often ignored as other people only focused on their physical strength.

Shao Xuan knew what their strategy was the moment they started moving.

The two advanced totemic warriors rushed towards Shao Xuan with one on the left and the other on the right, wanting to limit Shao Xuan’s movement.

Shao Xuan was not anxious while he faced the five totemic warriors he’d never encountered before. In order to make it easier for him to fight, he grabbed the hand of the squirrel monkey and flung the beast directly to a big tree nearby.

The five of them were happy when they saw Shao Xuan flinging the squirrel monkey away from him.

The other three of the warriors that were behind were particularly happy and started to change their direction, bypassing where Shao Xuan was and headed directly to where the monkey landed.

Even though the squirrel monkey’s hands and feet were tied together by vines, it’s flexibility was still surprising. Previously, it was terrified because its throat was being grabbed tightly by Shao Xuan. It was afraid of breaking its neck if it tried to move slightly. Therefore, it had no choice but to surrender. But now, it started to think about how to escape when it saw them fighting.

It turned its body when it was being thrown in the air, adjusted the radian of its tied feet. When it hit the trunk, both of the legs did a good job in buffering the impact to prevent itself from getting injured. Then, it used this strength to bounce off, trying to run away during the chaos.

It was not that the monkey despised humans, it was confident that its ability could certainly help him to get rid of trouble when it managed to break free. If it managed to get rid of these humans the last time, it can get rid of them the next time too.

Sadly…...

It struggled for a moment but it could not get rid of the vines.

It struggled again but failed too.

Although these vines were very flexible and were not easy to cut off, the squirrel monkey was never bothered by it. This was because it managed to get rid of the vines a few times before when it was caught by the tribesmen. Therefore, it was experienced in dealing with these vines. There were many times where it tried to act pitiful while it was being tied, then it escaped the vines easily and hid aside, laughing at the angry humans who realised they had been fooled.

But this time, it was a mistake. It thought it could escape easily as soon as he was freed from Shao Xuan’s grip but the truth was not what it was expecting.

No matter how much it tried, its long-claws were not able to reach the vines. So it was impossible to even slice them.

The vines greatly reduced its mobility. Sadly, in the end, the three mid-rank totemic warriors caught it as it tried so desperately to run. It knew it was useless to resist because the three totemic warriors did not care about its life and might kill it with their knives.

Therefore, the squirrel monkey gave up completely and obediently allowed the warriors to catch it. It then tried to think of a new strategy to escape.

On the other side, Shao Xuan, was being attacked from both sides, quickly moved a few steps backward to avoid the attack. While the two warriors kept trying to stab him with their daggers, Shao Xuan did not stop running, he tilted his body to one side to avoid the daggers. At the same time, he shook his shoulders then hurled himself towards one of the warriors.

The totemic warrior gritted his teeth and faced this attack bravely despite Shao Xuan’s violent collision. No matter what, he was still an advanced totemic warrior. Why should he be afraid? Even though Shao Xuan was younger than him, he was fitter. Also, Shao Xuan was not one of the most outstanding warriors among the Flaming Horn Tribe!

The two sources of energy and strength bumped into each other and made a muffled thud. If the other party’s power was described as a mighty torrent, then Shao Xuan’s power was just like a towering mountain anchored firmly on the ground.

In just one collision, the man staggered for a bit, his eyes were filled with surprise and his pupils contracted rapidly. Then, he was forced to take a few steps backward to diffuse the impact of the collision. He looked at Shao Xuan who did not step back nor was affected, it was clear that the collision was not beneficial for himself.
