Chapter 665 Let’s Give It A Try (1/2)

The Jing shaman was also very patient. He told him whatever he needed to know. If something was related to any of the Jing tribe’s secrets, he tried to be as implicit as he could.

Shao Xuan knew long ago that the Jing shaman was different from the others in the Jing tribe. He did not think as traditionally as the other Jing people. His intentions were purely for the sake of the Jing tribe. He could use this information to trade for more things from Shao Xuan.

Looking out the window, it was unusually exciting around the centre quagmire. Many people surrounded and watched the people hunt the ground eyes. Even though there were only ten people who went down, many others helped from the side. There were also others who were cheering and watching the excitement. About more than half of their tribe was gathered here. Some Ya people even came to watch, not to mention Duo Li and the others, who were also watching from the side.

Tonight the people who went under the quagmire gained a lot of ground eyes. They didn’t have the shaman’s third eye, or Shao Xuan’s special vision, so they could only use nets or follow their intuition. Even without the third eye, they could still feel some things under the quagmire.

“Wow, it’s a Universal Eye!” a person shouted amidst the crowd.

“Who? Who caught the Universal Eye?” the people who were crowding in other places rushed over to look.

Not too long after, someone else shouted from another side of the quagmire, “Another one!”

“What?! Who caught it this time?” The crowd rushed over again.

“There are already thirty of them. Haha, let’s see who can beat my record today!” a Jing warrior who came up to catch a breath laughed as he spoke. It hadn’t even been that long, but he already caught so many. How many would he have by the end of the night? As he thought about this, he couldn’t stop giggling.

“I don’t know why, but the ground eyes in the quagmire are so easy to catch today. Many of them aren’t even moving,” someone said.

Hearing this, the Jing shaman’s face instinctively jerked upwards. Many of these ground eyes couldn’t move. They were probably shocked by the event that had happened. Shao Xuan’s smashing of the quagmire shocked many of the ground eyes. Even if they didn’t die from the shock, some of them were left unconscious. They probably wouldn’t be able to recover tonight.

The people who went under the quagmire should be thanking Shao Xuan for what he did. They were so lucky and caught so many ground eyes because of him.

The Jing shaman shook his head helplessly as he smiled. This bunch of kids probably hadn’t had such a lucky event happen to them for way too long. All of them were so happy.

The Jing tribe had a lot of stock in their hands. Even though they didn’t gain much every year, they saved a lot from previous generations. The amount they had was enough to shock a lot of people, but they still want to keep treasuring it?

“I have to see what the others think.” The Jing shaman decided not to express his opinion. Even though his values were different from others, he didn’t want to ignore other people’s values, but if one day his people were willing to take their savings out to trade, he wouldn’t stop them.

Shao Xuan rolled up the beast hide scroll with the important notes. After some thought, he asked again. “I have another question.”

“Please ask.” The Jing shaman thought Shao Xuan had another question about the merging of the True Eye.

Shao Xuan looked at the Jing shaman. “What did you see on me?”

The Jing shaman stopped fiddling with the ground eye stone in his hands. He never expected Shao Xuan to ask this question. So he found out after all.

After some thought, the Jing shaman answered, “A figure. I saw a figure behind you.”

The Jing shaman didn’t plan on telling Shao Xuan this. The Jing tribe’s ancestors had once warned them to not tell others what they couldn’t see. It could cause a lot of trouble. Legend had it that a long time ago, the Jing tribe’s shaman had been through some tough problems after telling someone something they couldn’t see. That was why the Jing shaman stopped Miu when he noticed the strange figure behind Shao Xuan. He was afraid of the trouble he might cause.

However, Shao Xuan was voluntarily asking, so even if he didn’t want to tell him, he couldn’t lie. The Jing shaman was also sure that Shao Xuan wouldn’t cause any problems after knowing this.

Even if Shao Xuan was mentally prepared, he was still stunned by this answer. “What does he look like?”

The Jing shaman shook his head. “I don’t know. I only see a blurry figure. I don’t know what he looks like, but I reckon he’s one of your ancestors.”

Was it really a Flaming Horn ancestor? Shao Xuan was shocked. He had given this excuse to the Gu shaman, but he was only using his ancestor’s name to evade the question, but after he heard what the Jing shaman said, had he actually gotten it right?

But what was his ancestor doing behind him? Who was it? There were too many ancestors in the Flaming Horn history. As he thought about the bone ornament necklace he was wearing, he speculated it to be the first shaman.

After a moment of silence, Shao Xuan shook his head. He didn’t want to guess anymore. He wanted to wait longer for other clues.

Shao Xuan gave the Jing shaman a palm-sized token made from green bronze. A Flaming Horn totem was carved into it. On the other side was a single character, “Xuan”.

In the Flaming Horn tribe, besides the current chief and shaman, only Shao Xuan, the Grand Elder, possessed a token like this.

If the Jing people decided to go trade in the future, they could bring this token to the Flaming River Trading Point. With this token, they would receive better hospitality and there would be people protecting them.
