Chapter 643 The Shaman from Gu Tribe (2/2)

A thousand years ago, before disaster struck, before the large river was formed, this piece of land and the land of beasts were connected together!

The shaman left out a long sigh and closed the scroll. The moment it was shut, all of the worries he felt all converted into something else. A strong urge to kill, full of determination.

“It’s been a thousand years, this must end!”

Shao Xuan was very confused when he saw the beast then, he had no idea how the Gu tribe had angered such a beast. Last year when the disaster caused the river to disappear, the Flaming Hron tribe weren’t able to stop all the beasts but they didn’t attract such a powerful enemy that was hidden deep in the forest in such a small time.

The beast was quite peculiar too. It started to move smaller beasts to the other side of the river to test the tribespeople. This meant that it was rather cunning but it was being overly careful.

The truth was that this grudge had started a thousand years ago.

A thousand years ago, when both sides were still connected, the tribes by the river always encountered beasts. The painting on the scroll depicted a hunt a thousand years ago.

Then, the Gu tribe ancestors already had their eyes on the beast. They were ready to kill it but the beast had escaped.

Soon after, disaster struck and a large gap appeared in the river. Dangerous currents and even more dangerous beasts appeared in the river, dividing the two banks even more. That was why the tribes had lived a thousand years without beasts. The beasts from the other side of the river were killed every time they crossed over so they stopped coming too.

Now, with the physical gap gone, the beast was back for vengeance.

A thousand years had passed, the hunting ancestors of the Gu tribe were long gone but the beast was now larger and smarter. It was the kind of immortal beast that would continue growing as long as it was alive.

It hadn’t forgotten about the time their ancestors cut off its claw. It was here to make the tribe members pay.

Why was it extra careful this time?

Although the beast was much stronger now, it still couldn’t help but feel fear whenever it was near the Gu tribe fire seed. Getting half of its claw chopped off and almost thrown into a pot for cooking was something it still remembered well!

Not many knew about this secret and it had been a long time since they dealt with this beast. To prevent the whole tribe descending into panic, the shaman decided to wait for Bo Gu to return before doing anything.

Naturally, Bo Gu didn’t know what had happened on his way back from the Flaming Horn Trading Point, or he wouldn’t have dared to go to the river to fish. If he was in the tribe and he knew the truth, he wouldn't have told the whole truth to his son. Instead, he would drop hints and stop him from going to the river.

After Bo Gu returned, some of the core members of the tribe knew the truth but from that day on, the shaman decided to tell every member of the tribe what had happened.

The shaman felt that this was purely a Gu tribe problem so they shouldn’t ask for help from other tribes. Their ancestors left them an unfinished task and they had to be the ones that completed it.

The shaman then wrote a sentence on the drawing too, “If seen, kill immediately!”

The shaman then probably knew the dangers that beast brought to their tribe. However, the disaster then stopped them from thoroughly solving the problem.

Knocks on the door stopped the shaman’s train of thought.

Through the rhythm and the force of the knocking, the shaman knew who it was standing outside the door. Even without listening to the knocks, he would still know. He could sense everyone in the tribe, there was a reason why he was the shaman.

“Enter.” The powerful gaze he had while looking on the scroll immediately disappeared. His expression went back to a neutral state as he left the room.

It was Bo Gu. Bo Gu knew that the shaman should be the one that decided one thing. Every time before they went on a hunt, the shaman would conduct divination readings to check whether it was the optimal time for hunting. Bo Gu was here just for that.

“How is it, shaman?” asked Bo Gu.

“Three days later,” said the shaman.
