Chapter 384 (2/2)

“Tao Zheng, what did you get this time…” The person on guard wanted to ask Tao Zheng, who was walking in front but was stunned speechless when he saw the animal.

“Bone beast?!” Two guards on duty shouted.

“What? Bone beast?!” More people ran over.

It was rare for them to get a bone beast, and every hunt used up a lot of time and energy. Often, they came back with nothing, or even injuries. They couldn’t believe Tao Zheng’s team had hunted one with the entire team with no severe injuries.

Tao Zheng and the rest couldn’t help but blush in embarrassment when everyone looked at them. They did not even lift a finger! The little scratches they had were from hunting other animals afterwards, unrelated to this beast.

“This was hunted by Elder Shao Xuan,” said Tao Zheng.

The rest did not believe it. Shao Xuan was just one person, how was that possible? This was a fully grown bone beast!

However, they only got more curious when Tao Zheng and his team explained. Everyone helped carry the beast as they asked questions.

There were three girls in Tao Zheng’s party. At this point, they were no longer anxious and a lot chattier.

“Xiao Lin, did Shao Xuan really hunt the bone beast?” asked one.

“Of course!” The girl named Lin started to tell them about the hunt excitedly.

Shao Xuan was dragged away by Duo Kang for questioning.

Duo Kang did not care about the bone beast. He had hunted one when he was younger too, but that was with a team. He was more concerned about whether he was used to hunting, if he was hurt.

Shao Xuan answered every question in detail. Now that he knew Shao Xuan was adapting well, Duo Kang was relieved. He even brought Shao Xuan around, introducing him to herbs they had picked during the hunt.

Shao Xuan had learned about herbs that grew in drier regions from Ji Ju but he was not familiar with plants in a forest. There were differences in species in different regions, of course.

After learning about herbs and a hearty meal of roasted meat, everyone started to go to sleep while the people on duty kept watch outside.

After a good night’s sleep, Shao Xuan woke up refreshed.

Shao Xuan walked out of the cave and looked down at the forest. He took a deep breath, shaking his shoulders and stretched.

There were people protecting the prey too, all experienced hunters so Shao Xuan was not concerned.
