C274 – Outsiders

Posted on October 9, 2018 by AzureOrchid92

Shao Xuan dragged the snake by its tail and carried the stone back home. Old Ke was cooking broth, while complaing to Ceasar lying outside the window. When he saw that Shao Xuan was back, Old Ke threw away what he was doing, and moved to help Shao Xuan with the snake.

“This snake is huge. Where did you hunt it?” Old Ke looked at the snake thrown at the door of the house, then came in the room to take out his tools, intending to cut it.

“Not far from the tribe. I directly dragged it back after killing it. This rock was the one that Chacha found.” Shao Xuan moved his shoulders, carrying the stone for too long made his shoulders hurt.

Old Ke took a small stone knife to touch the stone, then nodded. “It’s really good, worth your special trip… By the way, you should go to the Shaman’s side, while I take care of the snake.”

“Well, it so happened that I had something to say to the old man.”

“Wait! I almost forgot. Don’t go to the Shaman’s house near the fire pit. The Shaman is not there. He and the chief are in the big house over there, with a few tribes from the central region, to talk. They have not come back, so you should look directly over there.”

Shao Xuan looked at the direction Old Ke pointed at. There was a relatively atmospheric stone house built there, located at the border of the core area, surrounded by no other tenants. It was basically a very conspicuous house.

“It was the Shaman who knew that people were coming, so we were told to build a new one. These days, he and the chief were there, talking to the outsiders.” Old Ke explained.

“OK, then I’ll go over there and see.”

The ground was paved with stones, even if it was raining, one would not step on mud. This was not here before Shao Xuan left.

There were many warriors around the big stone house, most of them were the people of the Flaming Horns tribe, and there were also others from outside. The warriors of these outer tribes were not all from the same tribe. Even those with poor eyesight could see that they came from at least three different tribes. Their dress style was too obvious.

Each tribe’s clothing and costumes were related to the tribal totem and customs. For example, the people of the Mang tribe liked to wear green, some verdant, others dark green, clothing with similar material to linen, and the body was still covered with jade. From the jade, these people were at least intermediate totem warriors.

Meanwhile, the people of the Eight Limbs tribe had clothing with silky textures. This was their tribal characteristics. Some warriors also have crawling spiders of various sizes.

There was also a tribe with feathers on their head, similar to the man who had been blocking Shao Xuan’s way before. Their faces were painted colorfully, and the original appearance was not clear.

The Feather tribe?

When Shao Xuan observed these people, these people did not care about Shao Xuan who came over, except for two of them, but Shao Xuan had not seen them.

Both Qu Ce and Xu looked at Shao Xuan. They had a deep impression of Shao Xuan, especially when they saw him fight four people. Now, in retrospect, they still can not help but shake when they saw him.

As for the other Flaming Horns tribe warriors outside, seeing Shao Xuan unconsciously brought a smile to their faces.

“Looking for the Shaman?” one of the warriors asked.

“Well, if any of you guys go ask first if I can go in.” Shao Xuan said.

One of them, who often acts as a gurdian to the Shaman was familiar with Shao Xuan. He did not think the Shaman would prevent Shao Xuan from entering the house, but, because the situation was more complex, it was better to ask.

Not long after the man came out after entering the house, he motioned for Shao Xuan to go straight in.

Seeing that Shao Xuan went inside, several people from the other tribes have opinions. Inside the room were several important figures. What kind of small cockroaches could go inside?

“Who’s the kid that just went in? Why could he go in?” someone asked.

“He is Shao Xuan.” Qu Ce said.

Those who were still going to say something turned to look at Qu Ce and Xu, “He is that Shao Xuan?”

The words “Flaming Horns tribe, Shao Xuan” had already been known by some people before the Flaming Horns tribe came back. However, when they searched later, they could not find the person, until the whole Flaming Horns tribe appeared.

Several warriors of the Flaming Horns tribe looked at the other person and said, “Why can he enter? Because he is the elder of our tribe, and so far, the only elder! His status was second only to the Shaman and the chief. Why should he not enter?”

For the outside tribes who were always proud, the Flaming Horns tribe warriors already had an opinion. Now, these people were still dissatisfied with the elder of the tribe? If you dare to say it, we dare to do it!

Seeing the momentum was not right, a senior warrior pulled the few people in front. “Ok, we are not here to quarrel. Beware of the leaders when they get angry.”

Shao Xuan did not know that, outside the stone house, a fight almost happened. When he went in, he saw four other people from the other tribes, three sitting and one standing behind. Among the three seated, one of them Shao Xuan had already met. He was the Mang tribe’s senior totem warrior with the three quarter jade ring.

Huang Ye looked at the Shao Xuan carefully. The first time he saw Shao Xuan, he did not put much thought into him, thinking that it was only an insignificant character from a small tribe, until Qu Ce told him about the Flaming Horns tribe.

For these four people’s stares, Shao Xuan did not care, and went straight past.

When the Shaman saw Shao Xuan, the face with no expressions showed a smile, and he waved his hand. He gestured to the back of the house, to move a stool and come over.

Here, in addition to the Shaman and chief Ao sitting, Ta and Gui He were standing. However, after Shao Xuan came over, he became the third person in the Flaming Horns tribe to sit.

At the sight of the three people sitting opposite the table, several eyelids jumped. On the side of the Flaming Horns tribe, it was natural for a person with great status to sit. Even the two team leaders with the status of senior totem warrior could not sit down, but this young man still dared to sit without batting an eye. Unexpectedly, the other two people did not have any objection to it, so obviously, Shao Xuan’s status was above even the two team leaders!

How big was his talent?! Not even on par with a senior totem warrior!

“Flaming Horns tribe elder, Shao Xuan.” Shao Xuan said.

As the only non-senior totem warrior in the room, this man was not a bit timid, the senior totem warriors were naturally carried by the momentum.

Hearing the word “elder”, Huang Ye was very puzzled, but now was not a wise time to ask and he also might not be able to get an answer.

“Mang tribe, Huang Ye.”

“Eight Limbs tribe, Qiu Gu.” The man next to the Huang Ye said. The man looked at the young elder, but with a smiling face, unlike the other who was too serious.

“Feather tribe, Gu Zhi.” The third person said. However, the paint on his face was too much to see his original face.

“I just came back from the mountains. I am very sorry to disturb you all.” Shao Xuan said. But, in spite of that, there was no apology on his face.

Huang Ye was preparing to stab the two sentences and said aloud with a faint smile, “As the elder of the tribe, you are entitled to know what we are talking about.”

“Then, the talk was about what?” Shao Xuan asked.

The Shaman said a brief speech about their conversation just now. There were two things. First, they suggested that the Flaming Horns tribe do not fight the Wanshi tribe. The three people here had the same opinion, and they also represented the three tribes.

As for the second thing, every year, in the central region, there would be a special travel team with the majority of the team consisting of the young people of the tribes. This time, more than the Flaming Horns tribe, they came to see the candidates.
