Chapter 392 (2/2)
Whoa—
The crowd was forced to break open a path, then four tall, muscled men opened the road in front, followed by a young man in a silver-gray animal coat coming towards them. There were other people in his wake, the most conspicuous of which was the man standing next to him, carrying a heavy object. With each of his steps, he was able to leave a clear footprint on the ground, accompanied by a heavy beat, as if he was very, very heavy. On his back, there was a heavy object wrapped in cloth. Was it the cauldron?
The crowd only felt that the ground beneath their feet was shaking with each of the other person’s steps.
Boom!
The heavy cauldron was put down not far from where Shao Xuan and Duo Kang were. When it landed, it let out a muffled sound with a metallic clang. The hearts and minds of those who heard it felt like they were being shaken by this sound.
“That’s…”
Someone guessed the identity of the young man.
A person with such an arrogant aura was naturally a slave owner of Anba City, his identity was well-known here.
The young man walked slowly, then lifted his hand to sweep off nonexistent dust on his skin coat. He spoke with an arrogant tone to the people, “One Ding cauldron. Don’t you tribesmen like bronze? I’ll give you this which is more than enough for you to make a lot of swords.”
Duo Kang almost spat at him. Listening to this tone, he mused at how these people thought they could take advantage of the tribesmen. Could a scrap of copper be the same as an already casted sword? Did they really think that any metal could simply be made into another thing? When were we so gullible?!
The other party pulled off a piece of cloth, revealing the copper cauldron that reflected the dazzling sun. Many of the people present marvelled at the sight.
When they looked at it, they thought that this cauldron was actually a good product… Wait. No. Why were this cauldron’s three legs not of the same length?
The copper cauldron had two long legs and one twisted. Once it was put on the ground, it looked unsteady. The pattern on the copper cauldron looked blurred, and even some parts of its round body were misshapen!
The slave owners here attached great importance to the cauldron. As part of their rituals, they would certainly not tolerate such failure to have for themselves. Yet this bastard wanted to trade with such a crappy product?
He acted as if he was doing a beggar a favour, tossing his trash at them.
The people of the Flaming Horns tribe never liked the slave owners. When you talked to them about strength, they talked to you about class. When you talked to them about class, they talk about something else. Their values were never the same, so the last thing the Flaming Horn tribe liked was slave owners with some superiority complex. However, the slave owners did have a lot of good things in their hands. There were a lot of skills and knowledge they could learn from them, and they admit some price had to be paid to try to learn it. But learning from them was different from being afraid of them.
The slave owners looked at the people of the Flaming Horn tribe. They thought tribespeople were a bunch of dumb but stubborn people!
Unfortunately, this young master clearly did not understand the style of the Flaming Horn tribe.
“We won’t trade! A sword or axe has to be cast, then we’ll take it,” said Duo Kang.
Not expecting to be rejected, the young man frowned, not satisfied with Duu Kang’s answer, “You don’t want it?”
“We don’t want cauldrons,” Du Kang affirmed again.
The young man smiled. There was not much laughter in his eyes, instead, a glimmer of anger flashed. “You have to!”
As he spoke, the man who put down the copper cauldron retracted his arm. Almost all of his power gathered in his arms, then he pushed out the scrap of copper towards Shao Xuan and Du Kang.
The copper cauldron was shoved forward at a high speed, accompanied by a flash of golden light. It went off the ground. With the cold strong wind and the chill of the gold, it went straight to where Shao Xuan was at, holding the crystal!
Black Bear thought that Duo Kang would take the shot. After all, in these usual cases, the fights were taken care of and blocked by the team leader. They represented the whole tribe. It meant that their decision was the decision of the whole team.
To contend or compromise? The onlookers pondered to themselves.
But to everyone’s surprise, Shao Xuan, who stood closest to the Duo Kang, did not dodge but was still standing in place.
In the face of the copper cauldron rushing towards him, Shao Xuan just lowered his waist and bent his knee. His whole body was like a mountain rooted to the ground. He raised an arm, punching it out towards the scrap of copper.
He actually chose to face it himself!
Bang!
With a trembling echo of the heavy metal, the deafening sound waves like from a huge drum suddenly sounded. Even the golden light reflected by the three-legged copper seemed to be completely shattered in that instant.
At the moment the deafening clang sounded, everyone at the trading area was shaking from the force of it!
What happened?! Someone who didn’t witness this thought.
What happened?! Someone who witnessed the scene but couldn’t process it wondered.
Black Bear’s eyelid twitched. That kid… He could actually save himself alone!!
Bang!
There was another rattling sound, but it was different from the sound from just now. It was just the sound of the copper falling because of its weight.
