Chapter 667 A Delayed Repulsion (1/2)

The wanderers who were working hard in the fields saw a giant creature hopping like a rabbit from far away. As Caesar hopped, he stopped to see if there were any familiar faces nearby. If he saw any familiar faces, he growled lightly to greet them.

At first, everyone thought that Caesar was happy because Shao Xuan had returned, but very soon, more and more people noticed that his empty eye socket that was initially covered with a blindfold was replaced with an entirely new eye. It looked just like any normal eye and didn’t seem fake at all.

“How is this possible?!”

The people in the fields were stunned as they watched Caesar hop away. They snapped back into reality with unbelievable expressions on their faces. One of them asked his friends hurriedly, “Did I see it wrong?”

“No, you saw it right. I saw it too!”

“Could it be that fearsome beasts can grow new eyes?” someone suspected. There were fearsome beasts that had regenerative abilities, but they never heard about any wolves with such an ability. Plus, if he had this ability, why did he wait until now to regenerate a new eye? How much time had passed since then? Caesar’s case became the new discussion topic for the tribespeople.

Shao Xuan didn’t publicly announce it to everyone because he didn’t know it would succeed, but since it was a success, Shao Xuan explained to everyone when he went up the mountain for a meeting.

“The Jing tribe’s True Eye?” Xing paid no attention to his favourite pottery today. He came over to ask Shao Xuan about Caesar’s eye.

Everyone else came for the same reason. Even Zheng Luo and Duo Kang who were guarding the post at the Flaming River Trading Point came over. After all, some warriors in their tribe had lost their eye too. They were all curious if they could regenerate new eyes like Caesar, so everyone was looking forward to his answer.

However, after they heard Shao Xuan repeat the Jing shaman’s message, their enthusiasm faded.

Blood affinities, fire seed. These were unchangeable factors. They could cause strong repulsive reactions. If they had to risk losing their lives for an eye, it was not worth it. Some things could not be forced.

They decided to set the topic of the True Eye aside. They were more curious about the Universal Eyes that Shao Xuan brought back. Although the ground eye stones were pretty, to most of the people in the Flaming Horn tribe, especially those who had already been living here from the start, the ground eye stone was not even worth more than a piece of beast meat. The people from the other side of the sea, however, were more interested in the ground eye stones. They were smarter and more sensitive when it came to trades, so they were the main force stationed at the Flaming River Trading Point.

“This is even better than the sun stone.” Zheng Luo picked up a Universal Eye. He held in tightly and observed it in his hands to check if it was pointing in the right direction.

“It can tell apart sunlight and moonlight. It’s good stuff.” Ao was also excited.

They had a total of eighteen Universal Eyes accumulated from all their encounters downstream. The Gu shaman gifted them some, then they traded some with the Jing tribe, and then the Jing shaman also gave them some more. After they divided the stones up, Shao Xuan and four other elders, along with Gui Ze and Gui He, the current chief and shaman, each of them had one Universal Eye. Ta and Duo Kang, the two hunt leaders, also received one each. The nine extra Universal Eyes were left in Gui He’s keeping. If anyone needed to go on expedition trips, they could ask him for more in the future.

In their tribe, they were all part of the same team, so naturally, their goods would also be distributed evenly. Shao Xuan had no intention to keep it all for himself, but they were also rewarded by their effort, so since Shao Xuan was the one who helped them obtain most of the ground eye stones, he had more authority in making the decisions.

“Right, today the Hui tribe sent over a beast hide scroll.” Zheng Luo brought out a beast hide scroll that they had received at the headquarters and passed it to Gui He.

After Gui He looked over the scroll, he did not look too happy. “People are coming from the other side of the sea.”

“They’re finally coming?”

“No, there were some movements, but they are still not sure who was coming over. Something strange happened near the desert. Maybe there were some conflicts, but we’re still not sure what exactly happened,” Gui He said.

“As long as the people of Rock Hill City are keeping guard, even if people are coming over, there wouldn’t be many of them,” Shao Xuan said.

“Indeed, there are not many of them, but it’s still better to be careful. We’ll start expanding the patrolling grounds today, especially the area near the Flaming River Trading Point.”

No one objected to Gui He’s decision.

“Is anyone going over there from here?” Shao Xuan asked.

Gui He passed the beast hide scroll to Shao Xuan. “I’m not sure about other tribes, but they mentioned that the ‘robbers’ are quite active recently.”

Every time they mentioned the ‘robbers’, they couldn’t hold back the disgust they felt towards them. They even almost vomited their dinner from the day before. These people stole other people’s treasures so openly and proudly, and they were not at all embarrassed by their actions. Instead, they were proud. This was why all the tribes guarded against the ‘robbers’.

However, as the two continents drew closer to each other, there were more goods on the other side of the sea, so it was not at all strange that the ‘robbers’ were attracted to the other side.

The robbers were probably targeting the rich slave masters over there. As the Flaming Horns thought about this, many of them were feeling quite happy.

Let the ‘robbers’ go to the slave masters!
