C276 – Standing Up on His Own

Posted on October 10, 2018 by AzureOrchid92

Shao Xuan did not know that Chacha was abusing the Feather tribe’s two lurking birds in only a breath. He was now thinking about who to fight. He did not know much about the other tribes, but if he selected someone weak, there would certainly be those who would believe that his ability was not enough and that he could only pick on the weak. However, who here was in the travel team, with enough strength?

After thinking, Shao Xuan smiled again.

Since it was difficult to decide, why did he have to pick it himself? It was better to go back to grind stone cores than choose now. After thinking about it, why should he stand here, and waste time getting tangled? Just let those people stand out on their own. Shao Xuan’s own work was only to fight.

At this time, the other tribes’ people were staying in the arranged resting area. Their activities within the Flaming Horns tribe was limited, that after staying here for two days they were bored. Everyone was just chatting inside the house, with Shao Xuan coming while they were talking about the selection.

While talking about their intentions, these young men were excited. They came to this tribe and were bored in two days as it was rare to find a fun thing to do, so naturally, they won’t miss this. Not every one of them was qualified to take part in the expedition. Some of them were not strong enough, but it didn’t stop them from watching the fun.

The movements here was known by Huang Ye and the others. It was not possible to constantly worry about the two birds, whether the people of the Flaming Horns tribe secretly shot and ate it or the eagle took it away, so these three people came to the outsiders house. Looking at Shao Xuan standing there, they noticed that he was near the area.

“You have already decided?” Huang Ye asked, surprised, “Who are you going to pick to prove your strength?”

“I don’t know who participated in the expedition, but it doesn’t matter,” Shao Xuan who was in front of the young men and other totem warriors who were near middle age, continued, “Who has been in that team, and feel that their strength is good enough, stand up.”

That made Huang Ye’s brow go up, so confident? He would have thought that he would prepare for a time, then carefully investigate the other side before selecting a person he could deal with. After all, those who were qualified to enter the travel team had their own strengths and weaknesses. Unexpectedly, they got such an answer.

Shao Xuan’s words made these young people dissatisfied. Young and vigorous, they just wanted to look at the fun next to them, but now, they have been provoked by Shao Xuan’s words.

“I’ll go!”

The first to stand was a tall and strong man, looking slightly older than Shao Xuan. The exposed muscles on his arms appeared to be very powerful. Looking at the clothes he was wearing, this man came from the Eight Limbs tribe.

“Let me do it.” Another person interjected, as he stood up and turned a stone axe in his hand.

“Although I have not joined the team yet, I think my strength is good enough.” A third man stood out.

Then there’s a fourth, a fifth…

There were those who were slightly older, but they felt that it was bullying, if they spoke up.

Huang Ye kept waiting for the movement that he wanted to hear. After a time, he could not help but look for Qu Ce, and saw him looking at the leaves on a tree next to him. It seemed that the leaves were beautiful that it attracted his full attention.

What’s so nice about a tree that has worms?

Seeing Qu Ce as such, Huang Ye felt more anger deep in his heart. Shouldn’t you be a kid this time? Not giving the opportunity to others?

Qu Ce was still looking at the crooked tree, where the leaves had a lot of holes bitten by worms, as if he didn’t know the current situation.

Qiu Gu also saw Xu not saying anything while quietly standing next to Qu Ce, and his heart also wondered: Usually, this child has an explosive temper? A situation were you could show your pride, but you were ignoring it?

“Alright, don’t argue, I’ll do it.” A young man with colorful bird feathers on his head stood up.

Gu Zhi’s mouth raised, seeing in the periphery the cold face of Huang Ye and depressed face of Qiu Gu made him brighten.

“Hong Xi, pay attention to the sense of propriety.” Gu Zhi said with a smile in his eyes, seeing that Hong Xi did not bring a knife, so he handed him his knife.

Hong Xi originally did not want to take the knife as he himself has his own weapons, but, after a thought, he took it.

“Feather tribe, Hong Xi, this year will also enter the travel team.” Hong Xi said.

Shao Xuan looked at the person standing not far away. This was the person who was blocking his way yesterday, and also made jokes about the Flaming Horns tribe’s great strength.

“Flaming Horns tribe, Shao Xuan.”

Since it was already decided that Hong Xi would fight, Huang Ye noticed that Qu Ce immediately shifted his attention, looking at the two people ready to fight. Then, he whispered to Xu on his side, “Let’s make a bet. You lose, you’ll lend me the white-haired spider to play for one day.”

To soothe the white-haired spider, Xu stroked it under its body as she held it in her arms, with the spider sitting on.

“What will we bet on?” Xu asked.

“Let’s bet on who will win between Hong Xi and Shao Xuan. I bet Shao Xuan, you bet Hong Xi. If I lose, I will give you two bamboo rats, the fatest two,” said Qu Ce.

Xu glanced at him faintly, “No way.”

When Qu Ce and Xu were talking, the two men had already started fighting.

Shao Xuan moved first, his whole person was like a leopard hunting in the forest, moving swiftly, his fist fierce and sharp.

However, even though Shao Xuan was fast, Hong Xi was faster. His body suddenly lit up, like the twist of air, every time, he could lightly avoid Shao Xuan’s fist. Hong Xi was not in a hurry, seemingly wanting to tease his opponent.

Gu Zhi looked at Shao Xuan’s fierce offensive, nodding, “His style is really the Flaming Horns’.”

In terms of strength, the Feather tribe would absolutely lose, even if it was Gu Zhi himself battling, he could not last against Shao Xuan’s intense and fierce offensive. They were born weak, but, in terms of fighting speed, the people of the Feather tribe were not afraid. Even the people of the Mang tribe and Eight Limbs tribe have to admit this.

At the time of Gu Zhi and Qiu Gu’s evaluation, Qu Ce and Xu looked at each other, silent. They also felt that Shao Xuan’s attack was exactly as fierce and violent as the ancestors had described it, but the more they knew, the more they doubted it. Yes, the people of the Flaming Horns tribe do occupy absolute superiority in power, but, in terms of speed, they may not lose!

Sure enough, without waiting for the second commentary to finish, the situation over there has changed again.

Shao Xuan stopped the offensive, but was not panting like the other people expected. He even had the mood to shake his hands and feet.

“Warm up done. Pay attention.”

After these words, Shao Xuan moved again, his totem patterns covered up to his elbow, and the power of his totem climbed to the limit. If it was said earlier that Shao Xuan’s figure was like a leopard in the forest, then now, it was like a lightning bolt, speed directly increased by more than double. His footsteps on the ground and movements were not big. Every time they see him pass, his feet had already left the place, leaving only scattered dust.

Hong Xi’s eyes was narrowed, trying to follow with his mind. While facing such a fast and aggressive attack, he intended to temporarily avoid it, then look for opportunities to attack. However, he did not expect that when he decided to avoid, Shao Xuan also had an action almost at the same time.

The foot suddenly stomped on the ground. Because of the strength of the foot, the ground collapsed open, leaving a pit. Shao Xuan’s body suddenly change direction by the force on the ground. The friction between the body and the air was like a strong bow, the arrow with a sharp broken sound instantly appearing in front of Hong Xi.

The arm that was like a spear that had been hurled, went straight towards Hong Xi.

I can’t hide!

In the face of the unexpected circumstances, Hong Xi only had the time to use a knife to block the fist rushing over. If he can’t stop this punch, he was probably going to have his bones smashed

A muffled sound.

The knife’s body succeeded in blocking the rushing fist, but the footsteps of Hong Xi were disorderly.

As was the habit of the hunting team, they could not give the prey any breathing time!

The rapid breaking of the air still did not stop. This time, Shao Xuan did not bombard from the front, but after catching up, he leaped and punched his fists.

Boom!

Once again, the knife blocked the attack of the fist. However, Hong Xi felt the powerful force transmitted through the blade. With no time to take into account the pain of his arm, he only felt his body sinking and he knew in his heart that it was bad!

The ground here was not as strong as the other places, mostly dirt, not rocks. Therefore, under such an attack, Hong Xi’s ankles were trapped in the soil. It was not easy to retreat. He wanted to jump out, but, not waiting for him to jump, another punch was thrown his way.

The crowd heard a series of bangs like heavy rain, and Hong Xi, who was subjected to such attacks, was like a hammered nail, sinking each time he was hit.

Note: Brutal. Like master, like bird.
