Chapter 528 (1/2)

Guess

The rest of the faces paled when they heard Shao Xuan.

“Another one came?” asked Ao.

“Yes.” Shao Xuan nodded, “But they’re gone now.”

After some thought, Shao Xuan said, “It didn’t seem like the one from before.”

Shao Xuan was referring to the aura he felt at the wander’s district not long ago. It felt familiar to that one but was still different.

Zheng Luo and Ao couldn’t feel the presence of that aura but they weren’t going to doubt Shao Xuan.

“I did what you told me to do last time. I think there’s more than one that’s hiding here,” said Ao.

When Shao Xuan caught Robber Eleven and limited Robber twelve’s movements, Shao Xuan sent the guards back with a message to Zheng Luo and Ao.

As Shao Xuan released Robber Eleven and Robber Twelve, he spread something on their bodies.

The people of the Flaming Horn Tribe would smear a type of powder on beasts that had special medicinal properties or had valuable body parts during their first encounter while hunting. They did this too to beasts that had the tendency to run away.

Most of the powders had a strong smell to them like the one they used on the thieves at the beach. The scent made it impossible for the thieves to hide from them.

The powder used for tracking had a faint scent that only some beasts could smell. Most people wouldn’t smell a thing.

Shao Xuan had smeared the latter on the two robbers.

The message told the two chiefs were to use some beasts with a sensitive nose to patrol the area.

Shao Xuan hoped to use the two robbers as a medium to pass on the scent to people around them, especially Robber Seven that was harder to catch.

According to Ao, Robber Eleven and Robber Twelve had been back to the tribe after they were released but they only stayed in the outskirts.

Ao was sure that there were some others that were lurking around in the area. Within those was that better and strong robber that Shao Xuan mentioned.

“There should be other robbers other than eleven, twelve and seven but they may not be here as a team.” Zheng Luo found it to be troublesome for the tribe to be the target of anyone that good at staying hidden, especially if they were the famous robbers.

”I'm actually wondering how did they get here so quickly? As soon as the battle ended a few of robbers appeared.” Shao Xuan said his thoughts aloud. News in his area travelled slow, the few tribes could gather this quickly because they were already spying on them but how did the robbers that were spread across the world and weren't spying on the tribe get here? These robbers were high ranking ones too.

What attracted them to Flaming Horn?

Their victory against Wanshi wouldn't attract so many masters over. The Robbers were here to rob not like the others that were here to check out the situation.

”Are they after our fire seed? Or our core seed?!” said the old shamaness.

The few in discussion couldn't come to a conclusion but they all knew they should be vigilant. They weren't worried about the fire seed but they need to take extra care of the core seed.

Shao Xuan thought about the chase just now. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the two weren’t just here to the longevity leaf. They had two years to retrieve it why did they wait until now to move?

Then if the intruder in the wanderer district really was Robber Seven as Robber Eleven said then the robbers arrived here much earlier than the other tribes.

They may have even arrived here before the Battle of Wanshi!

”Something must have happened without us knowing,” said Shao Xuan with a sigh. Although he had some straw rope with him now, he had no way of finding out what happened but his gut was telling him that they weren’t here because of Wanshi!

“Do you think those visitors at the edge of our tribe is hiding something from us?” asked Shao Xuan.

“Possible. Wouldn’t be the first or second time they did that.” Ao’s tone was filled with resentment.

They were even spurring bullshit about cooperating and teamwork!

Ao had the impulse to hack at people while looking at his axe. He disliked everything about them! If he didn’t know it would be bad timing for them to pick a fight with the other tribes, he would have done it.
