Chapter 186 - Encirclement & extermination

Translated by Lesyt Team

From the moment the man that was disguised as a dealer brought Shao Xuan here, to when the four men were all killed, not much time had actually passed by.

Shao Xuan tied up the four dead bodies with straw ropes. There were no other people around at the moment, but maybe someone could have heard the movements here. These four men should have other companions. Shao Xuan didn’t intend to stay for a long time here.

While Shao Xuan was tying up the bodies, by his side, Chacha had nothing to do but look around, looking at the scrubs over there for many times. Then it looked back at a weird looking injured bee beside him, which was squirming around on the ground.

It was the treasure-hunting bee tamed by those men. When its owner was killed by Shao Xuan, it got hurt as well by the shock from the bursting airflow and fell down to the ground, unable to fly up temporarily. No matter how hard it flapped its wings, it could only go round in circles in the same place, making buzzing sounds.

Chacha stared at the bee for several seconds and then pecked at the bee, eating it.

“Well, come on, Chacha. Let’s find a place first to get rid of these men!” Shao Xuan said, jumping on the back of Chacha.

Chacha flapped his wings and flew up, its big claws grabbing the four tied up men. Although these men were quite heavy, it was not a problem for Chacha now, as long as it was not a long flight.

Before leaving, Shao Xuan glanced at the scrubs and then took back his gaze.

He knew someone was behind the scrubs. The young man he saw in the cave was also there. Just because of that, he used that brutal and violent manner to handle those four men just now. Which was exactly the way how uncle Mai and the others hunted the ferocious beasts, for example, uncle Mai once used his fist to beat the four-tooth wild boar head-on.

The Flaming Horns tribe mostly used that manner and advocated strength. So in order to frighten the others, Shao Xuan surely needed to use the manner the most like the “Flaming Horns” tribe. Moreover, to get the best effect, he didn’t even use a stone knife, but only used his fist. In this way, he should be able to make some impressions on the people over there?

After Shao Xuan and Chacha left, Qu Ce and the other came out from behind the scrubs and went over to the battle place just now for a closer look.

“Extremely powerful strength.” It could be considered as savage and overbearing, but it was not in the same manner as those of the tribes that Qu Ce was acquainted with.

Some of those tribes also beat their opponents with absolute power, but they could not manage to do it like this. Moreover, that man was so young.

Shao Xuan and Chacha arrived with the four bodies to a forest not belonging to either the Mang tribe or the Eight Limbs tribe, and threw the four bodies away there. There were traces of many wild animals in the surroundings. It wouldn’t take long before these four men “disappeared”.

The things on the bodies of these four men were all looted by Shao Xuan, among which were some jades and several pieces of good-quality animal skin.

Cleaning up the blood marks on his body and putting the jades and animal skin into a hide bag, Shao Xuan made some adjustment to dissipate the bloodlust and appease the negative emotions, just as when he would cleanse the sword after having returned to the tribe after hunting.

After a while, when Shao Xuan opened his eyes again, he looked the same as he used to before, still like a hot-headed inexperienced young man as a whole. No one could see that he killed four men not long ago.

Tapping the head of Chacha, Shao Xuan said, “Come on. Let’s go back.”

Yu and some people from the Pu tribe were walking around in the market and exchanged the things they wanted to trade. When the walk was almost finished, they saw Shao Xuan coming over.

Looking at Shao Xuan up and down and finding no injuries on his body, they felt relieved, “How did it go?”

Shao Xuan took out a jade the size of an egg, throwing it in the air, “It’s done.”

“Hey, let me see. How much better is the jade from the Mang tribe than the water moonstone from the Drumming tribe?” Yu said.

Shao Xuan passed the jade over, which was just one of the jades he took from the bodies of those four men. The jade contained very little energy inside, but it was quite calming.

After the set time, Shao Xuan followed the others back to the cave, while another group of people took turns to go out. These people going out were not familiar with Shao Xuan, so Qu Ce didn’t get any useful information about Shao Xuan when he had someone investigate.

After two days, the people of the travel team started to prepare for departure. It was the last day they could hang out in this market, so they had to hurry with the exchange. After they left this market, they probably would not come here again until next year.

Shao Xuan came to an old man’s wine shop and exchanged for some bamboo wine. He took a taste of the wine. Its alcohol was not high, bit it had a subtle but kind of refreshing flavor, as well as medicinal properties. As the wine was put in the bamboo tube, it also spread the fragrant smell of the bamboo. Nevertheless, it was still no match for the juice of some plants in the green land at the other side of the river.

While drinking the wine, Shao Xuan also exchanged ideas with the old man. In his last life, Shao Xuan used the grapes in his own yard to make wine by himself, so he shared some of his experience with the old man.

The old man was from the Mang tribe, who also wore a jade on him. But the size and pattern of the jade were not that exquisite or big as those of Qu Ce’s jade, which showed that this old man didn’t rank high in the Mang tribe. But in the market, those nefarious kind of folk did not dare to target him.

The old man displayed an air of arrogance, but when discussing with Shao Xuan about how to make wine, he became very hospitable. This was a man who devoted himself to making wine, talking about his favorite things, so he didn’t display the lofty attitude of before, but asked Shao Xuan to sit there and also took out several other grain wines for Shao Xuan to drink.

While chatting with the old man, Shao Xuan also figured out the functions of the pottery tools for making wine. If it were not for that the soil texture of the Flaming Horns tribe was not suitable for pottery-making, they would not have had to use only things made of stone till now.

As they were talking, one man stood in front of the booth, “Hey, you!”

The old man was in a bad mood for being interrupted while talking happily with Shao Xuan. He was about to berate the other person when he looked up and saw the jade on that man in front of the booth. The berating was blocked and he immediately wore a smile.

But the man in front of the booth ignored the old man and spoke to Shao Xuan, “Hey, you come here. I’d like to have a word with you.”

Shao Xuan didn’t pay attention to him, but kept on drinking the wine remaining in the bamboo tube.

Seeing Shao Xuan’s attitude, Qu Ce had intended to curse him with some words. But after second thoughts, he went over and turned his head sideways. Seeing the old man by his side, he waved his hand.

The old man quickly stepped back further with a face full smiles, keeping a distance away from them.

After the man backed off, Qu Ce lowered his voice and said to Shao Xuan, “Would you like to see the ending of the companions of those men who tried to rob you that day?”

Thinking for a while, Shao Xuan got up from the ground, “Where to?”

Shao Xuan didn’t have much interest in those robbers. What he wanted to see was how the Mang tribe would deal with those men. The people of the Mang tribe, how powerful were they? action

After telling Yu and the others, Shao Xuan left with Qu Ce and headed towards a mountain relatively far away from the market.

The mountain was neither the territory of the Mang tribe, nor that of the Eight Limbs tribe.

Somewhere in the mountain, a dozen people converged in front of a wooden house. The leader was a man of enormous size and with curly facial hair. He grabbed a jar filled with water, suddenly drunk a lot of water and swung his arms, throwing the jar heavily to the ground.

Bang!

The jar broke into pieces instantly.

“Still no clue of them?” The curly-haired burly man asked, his sharp eyes glancing at all the people around like knives.

The one closest to the curly-haired burly man answered carefully while quivering: “Not yet.”

“Even the treasure-hunting bee has not returned?” The tone of the curly-haired burly man was forced, as if suppressing his anger.

Domesticating a treasure-hunting bee took a lot of work. Those four idiots brought the bee and sent a message that they found fire crystals. Then what? No sight of one fire crystal and all four of them disappeared, together with the treasure-hunting bee. They were probably all killed. He assigned someone to look for them, who only found blood stains in one place. If those four didn’t come back, they may never come back.

“Brother, could it be that people of the Mang tribe or the Eight Limbs tribe found something out?” One man said, trembling with fear.

“Do you mean that they know we stole their things?” Another one said with worry.

“In that case, we’ll have to move.” Someone advised. “If they come over, we’ll have little chance to escape.”

Listening to the conversations of his followers, the curly-haired burly man became even angrier as he pondered. With reddened eyes, he punched his fist on the stone table in front. Visible ripples of the air spread out. The stone table turned into broken pieces in an instant, the stone chips dispersing away.

“All of you restrain yourselves today. Don’t mess around!” After a pause, the curly-haired burly man took a deep breath, “Pack up your stuff. We’ll leave tomorrow!”

With his word finished, whizzing sounds in the air came from different directions.

Thin and tough bamboo needles shot out like rain to the people converging there.

Those with quick reactions had already started to defend with the tools in their hands, while those slow-reactors were shot directly like hedgehogs. Nevertheless, even in this situation, they didn’t die, and were still conscious. It’s only that they couldn’t move at all. When they moved their muscle lightly, it would lead to twinges all over; every time they moved, their blood would flow out along with the bamboo needles.

Such slender and tough bamboo needles could only be made from the bamboo from the grove of the Mang tribe.

The people of the Mang tribe!!

At this moment, the curly-haired burly man didn’t need to say more. Those people around all dispersed and ran in different directions, with the hope that the ring of encirclement there was relatively weaker, giving them the chance to escape.

Yet, they had not run far when they were all confined by silk strings. Before being able to struggle out of it, they were already stunned or killed directly. Those who quickly rushed out of the encirclement by force just now were sliced into several pieces when they ran past the passage between the two big trees.

Shao Xuan could also hear the snapping sounds of strings. Those strings cut people into pieces, but they also snapped off thanks to that fast and powerful force.

Not only the Mang tribe, but people of the Eight Limbs tribe also came over!!

Despair arose immediately in the heart of everyone who were encircled. But they didn’t understand, why would the Mang tribe and the Eight Limbs tribe make an alliance against them so cautiously? They just stole several jades of bad quality and extracted two pieces of spider silk. Is it possible that just because of that, they annoyed these two large tribes?

The curly-haired burly man was also confined by some strings while escaping. He shouted with a loud roar, his muscles covered in black totem tattoos jumped out, as if ready to burst.

Another loud roar came, like a volcano erupting fiercely after waiting for a long time. With dense sounds of breaking strings ringing out, he had manage to get rid of those strings by force.

Although there were some cuts on his body, it didn’t matter at all. But, the moment he got rid of the strings, he heard slight sounds rushing against the wind coming from right behind.

The curly-haired burly man felt the danger out of instinct, especially a sudden chill climbing on his neck. He was greatly shocked by the change at the moment. Obviously, the people that came here weren’t the common kind in the Mang tribe. Carrying out this encirclement and extermination, they didn’t hold back the slightest.

A bamboo knife, with sharp edges of two fingers wide and half an arm long, appeared at the neck of the curly-haired burly man.

The bamboo knife appeared at an extremely fast speed. The distance between the knife and the neck was clearly short, as if it could cut down the man’s neck the next moment, but it also made people feel an illusion that there seemed to be plenty of time to escape.

Yet, illusions were just illusions.

Puff~

Blood splurted out.

The curly-haired burly man still kept the previous unbelieving expression on his face, like a frozen and rusted machine which paused and moved by turns, turning his head around at the side.

Over there stood a person. The curly-haired burly man opened his eyes wide and looked carefully at the jade hanging on the waist of the other.

That was a slightly green jade, three quarters of a full circle.

Why, why should this kind of figure come here and deal with their group in person?

For their group, though they also killed many people, deceived and trapped some people of the Mang tribe and the Eight Limbs tribe, for the sake of prudence, they never killed anyone from these two tribes after coming here!

But, today, the Mang tribe assigned someone like this man to encircle them in person! Usually speaking, this kind of figure should not pay any attention to people like them. They were very arrogant. Why do this?

Till the end of his life, the curly-haired burly man still had no idea how he provoked someone wearing a three quarter jade ring.

Bang!

The burly man fell to the ground.

That man wearing the three quarters jade ring shook off a few blood stains on the bamboo knife and looked around, not caring about the remaining blood marks. Those people, who were encircled, were already either dead or stunned.

Not only the dead burly man, but Shao Xuan standing not far away and watching, also didn’t understand it either. In case of such great differences in power between both parties, if it was in the Flaming Horns tribe, only Tuo and Ke Ke would be enough to take care of it.

“Uncle Huang Ye, what did you find?” Qu Ce asked.

The man wearing the three quarters jade ring and holding the bamboo knife shook his head, “They are not the ones.”

“They are not?” Qu Ce became puzzled, “If it’s not them, who else could it be? Here only they entered the woods of the Mang tribe. Lots of my bamboo rats were eaten by them!”

“They don’t have that ability.” Huang Ye replied. As he was sure these people were not the wanted ones, he killed them all mercilessly, instead of taking them back and torturing them for information.

“Then who else could it be?” Qu Ce was thinking, his eyes glanced at Shao Xuan by his side. But he denied this thought in his heart. No, it’s not this young man. Although he was strong, he couldn’t go so far as to sneak deep in the woods of the Mang tribe and steal several good jades without letting anybody know. This matter even made the leader go crazy with fury.

“Could it be…?” One name came to Qu Ce’s mind.

Huang Ye said with a low sigh, “It could be ‘Dao’.” [This is not the ‘Dao’ you are looking for thinking of. This ‘Dao’ meanins stealing, robbing, etc.]

Qu Ce felt kind of downcast. If it was “Dao”, it would not be that easy to catch.

“Clear it up. Let’s go back.” Huang Ye ordered the others.
