Chapter 194 - Chase and kill

Translated by Lesyt Team

Edited by Ilesyt

The team that first arrived at the place where someone whistled didn’t come close, because there were about at least twenty carnivorous birds that were eating there.

In the surrounding area, the air was filled with the smell of blood.

Those big birds that were grabbing the food looked vicious and difficult to deal with.

The leader made a gesture to order his men to retreat alertly. He had thought they would find the people that the shaman and the chief had mentioned. But instead, they met a group of carnivorous birds when they arrived here.

However, he ignored the Wan Shi beasts.

The Wan Shi beasts were selected from many ferocious beasts, and usually they still bit their prey even if they couldn’t defeat it. Unlike from those beasts that had been trained and branded by the totem of the tribe, they were not so obedient, and didn’t work well with the members of the Wan Shi tribe. When they became, crazy no one could control them.

Noticing that there were many carnivorous birds in front of them, four Wan Shi beasts roared, and tried to make the men loosen the ropes to let them rush there.

When the Wan Shi beasts made some noise, the team members knew they were in trouble. At this moment they became so angry that they even wanted to use the stone swords to stab the Wan Shi beasts, but doing so wouldn’t help.

The carnivorous birds that failed to grab the meat had noticed the men hiding there, so they shouted excitedly to those hiding behind the bush and rushed at them.

As soon as one bird moved, several others followed it, and then more also took action.

The leader could not help but curse, and no longer hid himself.

“Withdraw!”

The plants here were mainly bushes and weeds. The bushes and weeds were more than two meters high, and also grew thickly. Even though they had intended to be careful, they couldn’t pay much attention to the plants under their feet when the group of carnivorous birds were chasing them.

“Ouch!”

A man’s foot was entangled by something, so he fell and felt pain and numbness in his foot. After he saw the vines that entangled his foot and cut them off, he ran again but the speed slowed down a lot. Soon the birds rushed over and surrounded them.

Someone used a sword to cut those carnivorous birds, but he failed to drive them away. Moreover, those birds were provoked, so they chased them even more closely.

More than one man was caught in the traps in the bushes. In spite of this, in this place their feet weren’t tied and hung in the tree. Those simple traps were made of rattan grass with the colour similar to that of the weeds. And they just stumbled. The rattan grass was smeared with poison that was not deadly, but at this moment the poison could lead to their death.

Some of the men who were caught up with by the birds were smashed onto the ground by the claws. Some were hit by the birds’ heads, and others were beaten to death by the beaks. They were attacked one by one.

No matter how cruel the four Wan Shi beasts were, they couldn’t defeat this group of birds. Because of seeing the Wan Shi beasts break into their domain, this group of carnivorous birds were irritated. They were no less cruel than the Wan Shi beasts bred by the Wan Shi tribe.

At this moment, the men were shouting. The birds were crying, and the beasts were roaring. All didn’t stop.

Like the previous team, this team also lost one third of its members in such a short period of time.

“Climb the tree!!”

“Look for a tall tree and climb up!!”

Leaving the area covered by weeds, they saw the forest in front, and everyone was pleased. As long as they climbed up the tall trees, they could escape from these birds that couldn’t fly.

A warrior intended to climb up. His hand caught a branch, but a wood needle that was shot by someone pricked his hand. He felt pain and numbness in his hand so he failed to grasp the branch, fell down, and was trampled on the ground by the birds that came over.

“There is someone!”

“Watch out!” The eyes of the leader flashed and he glanced at the surrounding forest.

The man who climbed the tree found his leg was pierced by a wood needle. He immediately pulled out the needle and felt pain and numbness in his leg. Fortunately he stayed in the tree and didn’t fall down. He glimpsed a figure moving fast when he thought he was lucky.

“Be careful!!”

The leader warned him. Unfortunately, when he rushed over, that man had already been cut by the sword and died.

Under the trees, seven birds gathered, and now a dozen of men were still alive. In terms of number they had the advantage, so if they really fought with the birds, they might not lose. But now none of them wanted to fight with the birds, not to mention, some people who were hiding near them to get ready to kill them.

The leader said at once, “Go. Into the trees!”

The trees were not far from each other, so they could still jump from one to another the tree to move forward.

“Be cautious for there may be...” Before the leader finished his words, a slight “hum” was heard, as if a thin thread was touched.

When someone jumped from the tree, he touched a thin thread that was not easy to be noticed.

Whiz!Whiz!

A Half-arm long wood needle was shot through the leaves and the grass, to the men who were jumping between the trees.

They had to wave the blades to block those wood needles. A man who was not careful enough was stabbed and fell down. Soon, he became the target of the birds.

A man finally escaped the wood needles and stood firmly on a branch. He was cut by a knife who quietly got close to him.

This…

The leader opened his eyes wide and looked very shocked. When he saw Shao Xuan, he couldn’t identify the totem patterns on Shao Xuan’s body so he didn’t know which tribe he came from. But he could see that Shao Xuan was very young.

“Which tribe are you from?!” The leader felt the cold sweat coming out through the skin of his back, because he knew such a young and powerful man must come from a big tribe. action

Like the leader of the former group, this leader originally thought he was a member of the Eight Limbs tribe, but the totem pattern of the Eight Limbs tribe wasn’t like the on his body!

Who was he indeed?

While the leader was shocked, Shao Xuan slightly bent his right knee, and the soles of his feet pressed against the branch forcefully. Like a tiger climbing down the mountain, he quickly rushed to the leader. His stone sword moved at the lightning speed, as if it could tear anything.

Looking at Shao Xuan, whose eyes looked as ferocious as those of ferocious beasts, the leader restrained his feelings of shock and lifted his arm holding the knife to stop him.

Bang!

The leader felt the burning pain in his palm holding the sword as the strength passing through the sword nearly broke his whole arm. The sudden strength broke the branch below his feet.

So great the strength was!

Which tribe on earth did he come from? Why did he have so great strength and look as powerful as those in their tribe? Besides him, were there other people hiding near them?

The leader believed there were more people hiding. After all, even though he was strong, he was so young that he couldn’t have killed the twenty men of the previous team.

If many people were hiding around them, and then there was the threat of the ferocious beasts, which might appear at any time...

The leader thought of the bad results and looked frightened, judging from his eyes.

No, go back first !

Because of the broken branch, he fell to the ground. He looked at the birds rushing at him and turned his back on those who failed to keep up with him. He just shouted and then turned around to run away. In that direction, another team should be on their way here. They just wanted to leave here at once, and someone whistled in hope for the timely rescue offered by that other team.

Shao Xuan stopped and didn’t continue to chase to kill them. He then jumped into the forest, and soon disappeared.

After the leader and a few surviving warriors ran for quite some while, they no longer heard the noise made by the birds. Then they slowed down and calmed down slightly.

But it was too early for them to feel safe.

A roar of a beast resounded, and a nearly four-meter tall figure rushed out from the back of the forest. This made them feel like they were thrown into the wintery cold water. They felt bitter cold.

It was also a ferocious beast!

The bear waved its huge paw to attack them. The warrior closest to it was directly slapped away and the same time he spilled blood.

It followed the trace of the delicious honey and came here. He heard the noise of those big birds and voices of men. It always felt that this area was its domain. It could ignore those birds, but considered those completely unfamiliar men as intruders.

The trespassing of its domain naturally irritated it, so after hearing the noise and smelling their smell, it was hiding here in wait. As soon as the prey arrived, it rushed out.

As one kind of ferocious beasts that were good at pretending to be dead and using tricks, the giant bear’s strength always frightened the members of the Flaming Horns tribe. Therefore, during the hunting, they usually avoided the whereabouts of the giant bears, and only occasionally killed one.

And for the members of the Wan Shi tribe who seldom fought with the ferocious beasts, this was a nightmare.

The bear had slapped away a man and bit two men to death. It was chopped several times, so the bear just got angrier.

Three spears were shot at the bear.

Finally, the members of the third team arrived.

The bear had avoided one spear, but the second stabbed it. But it was not seriously injured. If it had failed to avoid the spear, its vital part might have been hurt.

Roaring, it didn’t attack those people, but turned around to run away. It couldn’t defeat the humans, so it had to run at once!

Four Wan Shi beasts chased it. While avoiding the spears and arrows of the warriors of the Wan Shi tribe, it ran off. It had to fight against the four Wan Shi beasts. On its body there were more and more injuries. The spears and arrows were smeared with poison, but it could stop the effect of the poison, so temporarily it was able to stay alive. But as time went by, no one knew whether it would die.

“Kill it.” Said a warrior of the Wan Shi tribe.

Even if they couldn’t see or find the men the shaman and the chief mentioned, bringing back a ferocious beast could at least make the leader control his anger.

“Kill it!” The leader of the third team finally ordered. They were not willing to provoke the ferocious beasts in the forest, but now they met such a ferocious beast that had been injured. No matter how the members of the other two teams were, they decided to capture this ferocious beast!

“Kill it!!”

They saw the bear still struggling to escape, and at once caught up with it. They seldom met such a wounded ferocious beast, so they made up their mind to kill this bear!

Over twenty men hurried here. They joined the several living men of the second team to chase the bear. They planned to kill the bear first and then look for the men hiding in the forest.

Shao Xuan stood in a tree and hid himself in the lush foliage. He looked at those men chasing the bear, looked at the sky, and counted the time silently.

After a while, Shao Xuan looked at the direction in which the men were moving.

Different from the roar of the bear, another roar almost shook the whole forest.

The reason why the bear was called giant bear was not that it was just three or four meters tall. This was a little bear. In general, near such a little bear, it was likely that there was a mother bear keeping guard. Shao Xuan had seen a larger bear paw print.

That kind of giant bear was not only smart, but also liked to take revenge. It would frantically chase and kill.
