Chapter 384 (1/2)

Hunted by Elder

The bone beast had fainted from a concussion and looked like it was going to remain unconscious for a while. Even if it woke, Shao Xuan would just throw another boulder. Plus, there were other people like Tao Zheng watching.

Tao Zheng and the rest approached anxiously. When they confirmed that the beast was really unconscious, they became bolder and found some vine to tie it up. They found vines that were flexible and strong and tied it up like a cocoon. The protruding mouth was tied too. Other than breathing, the beast would not be able to move- at most, it would move its hoove a little.

Once it was tied up, they started touching and studying it. The bolder ones even lifted its lips to look at its teeth. The unconscious beast’s muscles were relaxed. Other than the hard armour that covered most of the body, places like lips and nostrils were exposed. These were its weaknesses that were usually out of reach during battle.

After they were done, they worked together to drag the beast towards their resting spot. Although all the teams hunted separately, the resting spot was still the same. Since this was a huge game, they had to first bring it over to the spot before hunting other animals.

The beast was huge but the Flaming Horn people were strong. They dragged it across the ground and worked to lift it up when they passed places where dragging did not work.

“Shao Xuan, are the people in your village all as strong as you? Are there many advanced totemic warriors at our age?” Tao Zheng asked after hesitating for a long time.

Everyone looked at him.

Most of them in this team lived near the top of the hill so they were more knowledgeable than others. Some knew from listening to rumours while the rest learned from their elders. They already knew Shao Xuan’s history from the adult.s

When he heard the question, Shao Xuan shook his head with a smile. “No, there are very few young advanced totemic warriors. But there are still many very powerful people.”

Tao Zheng and the rest relaxed when they heard this. So there were few like him, plus he was an Elder. There was only one Elder between the two branches!

If they saw other prey on the way there, they would put the beast down and hunt. It was convenient anyway.

Shao Xuan let the rest have their chance to hunt while he watched the unconscious bone beast in case it woke and caused trouble. One the way, when the rest were hunting, Shao Xuan noticed it was about to wake so he knocked it out once again with a large rock.

At the resting spot, many teams were there resting after a day of hunting. Some of them would stay overnight if they were far away but most still chose to rest here for peace of mind.

Animals that were easy to clean were slaughtered and shifted into the cave. Anything more troublesome would be tied up for the moment and then brought back to the village.

Some people stood guard outside, alertly watching the forest in case they were ambushed by other animals.

These people standing on higher ground saw movement in the forest and blew on their whistle for the people at the foot to stay alert.

Very soon, they understood that it was not a beast but their own members dragging some prey back. It was a large animal too. Everyone looked- it was Tao Zheng and his team.

Everyone was familiar with Tao Zheng and his team’s capabilities. Every hunt, they would get incredible animals. Tao Zheng, Zhui and Wu Zhan were some of the best young warriors here and their name was known in other tribes too.
