Chronicles of Primordial Wars - Chapter 266

Chapter 266

The person who has been beaten, transformed into a different figure . The moment Shao Xuan arrived, he could clearly see the incredible changes happening to that person . The tall man transformed into an obese person . At this time, Shao Xuan had underestimated the person in front of him .

When they were fighting against each other, the petite woman who had retreated to the side, stared at Shao Xuan with amazement . She knows that Shao Xuan is clever . When she detected Shao Xuan tailing behind them, they immediately changed their plans .  They tried to avoid the patrol team especially Shao Xuan’s patrol team .

“How did this brat discover us? How are we supposed to get past them in the future?”

Shao Xuan also noticed the movements of the petite woman . Whatever happens, he was mentally prepared to fight the woman if she joins the fight, but she just stood there and watched the battle .

When Shao Xuan looked back at his opponent, he was caught by surprise to see the man on the offensive and attacking him . Suddenly, the man moved and jumped back . His face was somewhat distorted . His bones haven’t been restored to its original form . He was smiling at Shao Xuan and then, started to laugh for some reason . It was weird and horrible .

The man looks like he was about to speak, but he looked up at the sky .

“Someone is coming! Let’s go!” said the petite woman . She quickly ran away from the scene .

The man who was fighting Shao Xuan also quickly left the scene, but they were both going in different directions .

As soon as they left, ten people came and chased after the two people . Shao Xuan could not catch up to the two people .

After fighting with the man, he is now sure that the man he fought with was the one he met in the tribe last year . Perhaps he could have also stolen the things that belonged to the tribe .

It didn’t take long before the ten people came back . From their expressions, Shao Xuan can see that they did not catch the two people

“What happened?” asked Shao Xuan .

“They ran away,” Gui He said .

The white dragonfly in the sky also came back . It also failed to find the two people .

“Were the two people thieves?”

“Seems like it . ” Shao Xuan answered .

Shao Xuan asked around to see where those two thieves lived . Shao Xuan described the faces of the two thieves .

It did not take long for Shao Xuan to find out where the two thieves lived .

“Is it here?” Gui He kicked the door open .

The people inside the room didn’t understand what was happening, but they did know who Gui He and Shao Xuan are . One is the tribe’s boss and the other is the tribe’s elder . Both of them has high status in the tribe . The people in the room did not dare to speak a word .

Shao Xuan talked to Tuo and asked him to do something . Shao Xuan entered the room .

Tuo told the customers that two couples had secretly left their rooms without paying . He asked if any of them knew the two couples .

Shao Xuan listened to the information provided by the people around Tuo . From the information that Tuo has gathered, the two people were already in the tribe before winter!

After looking around the house, they found nothing useful . Shao Xuan and Gui He went to the leader and reported the matter .

The thieves entered the tribe secretly . This made the leader felt angry and vigilant .

“Go to each tribe and re-register the people . You are responsible for this matter!”

“Yes!”

Last year there was a lot of negligence, and there was a lot of trouble . Now that something has happened, you need to clean up the mess . Not only do you need to re-register the people of Yanjiao tribe but also the tourists who live in the peripheries . You guys have to re-register and then check and re-check them every once in a while .

The leader asked: “Xuan, how did you find them?”

“Intuition . ” Shao Xuan said . He couldn’t tell why . After seeing the two, they felt a little bit suspicious . After following them, he felt more and more suspicious .

“I will get more people to try and find these two thieves,” said the leader .

After leaving from the hustle and bustle, Shao Xuan walked with the patrols and walked through the residential area Yanjiao . He left the patrol team and planned to go over and see if he could find some clues .

Similar to the other wooden houses, there was a wooden table that has been smashed and shattered in the room . There was a lot of wood residue on the ground . In the wooden house, the furnishings were simple . The wood on the wall was knocked over . Marks were left by the tools, the ground was also shaved, they probably did not find anything, and got so angry that the wooden bench was also crushed .

Shao Xuan did not find anything suspicious . It really feels like those who have not yet have their Totem Power awaken .

Nothing special here .

No . There is something .

Shao Xuan smelled carefully . Since he has seen lots of herbs with Wu, he can identify many of them . The subtle smell of here is more like grass, not bitter medical herbs . By the fire pit, there were some light green dregs . Shao Xuan picked some with his finger and lifted it under his nose . Were those two injured? Probably recently, too . Thinking of the ceremony a few days ago, Shao Xuan wondered if their injury was inflicted by the fire in the ceremony . Really? Are thieves these days so relentless? All that rejection and pain from the fire, just for some petty theft? How dedicated . He looked around, but nothing sketchy other than those dregs . Shao Xuan was about to leave, but he turned around after some brief thinking . He looked around again, but with his special ability .

The entire place was shrouded in darkness . The wooden walls and stone-like objects lost their original color and turned gray…though there was one exception! Shao Xuan’s gaze was fixated at the base of a particular place along the walls . There a dim glow that stood out from the surroundings . Compared to the gray hue around it it was very noticeable .

After closing the door to the log cabin, Shao Xuan walked over to take a look at the dim light . It appears to be coming from the ground . Unable to see what was buried underneath, Shao Xuan took out a dagger and started digging . As he dug further, the light became brighter and finally, he was able to see the light emitting item . It was a pouch made of animal hide with something inside . It was cylindrical and about a forearm’s length . He opened the pouch and took out what was inside it . It was a wooden tube of some variety . It was not bamboo, but it was not a type of wood Shao Xuan had commonly seen before . This was slightly harder . There was a tightly stuffed stopper at the end of the wooden tube . There was the trace of a golden powder-like color near the stopper . What was this shiny gold material? Was it some kind of metal? To be hidden like this by those two people, could it be a stolen treasure from some other tribe? Filled with curiosity, Shao Xuan decided to pull out the stopper . Though it was just a stopper, he needed to apply quite a bit of strength in order to pull it out . An ordinary passerby would not have the strength to do so . In order to prevent the contents inside from spilling out, Shao Xuan kept the stopper faced up as he pulled with force . The abundantly packed gold powder dazzled as if it was placed under sunshine . Was it gold? No, no it was not . In fact, it was not any sort of metal . Shao Xuan slightly weighed the tube in his hands and stirred up the contents a bit with the dagger . The golden powder was not as heavy as metal or stone . It was more akin to wood! A golden colored wood?

Unlike the dyed color, it was more like a natural gold .

Looking around, Shao Xuan found a wooden plate and took it . After wiping the wooden plate clean, Shao Xuan poured out the gold powder into the wooden tube .

He carefully pinched at the clipping within the gold powder . It appeared to be a portion of a leaf that had been shaped into a square-like shape . The cut marks could be seen on both ends but they were not apparent along the borders and the leaf veins were still visible . The wooden tube gave Shao Xuan the impression that it was very archaic, but the leaf looked like it was freshly plucked with no signs of withering .

Sniffing the leaf, he could smell a faint foliage scent . Though it was not pungent, one whiff of it would cause one’s built up fatigue to disperse . What was more fascinating to Shao Xuan was the design on the leaf . The lines were in a messy zigzag so he could not tell what it was .

Was it a letter? It did not seem like it . Shao Xuan delicately blew off the gold powder covering the leaf in order to get a clearer look . Looking on top of the dark green leaf, he noticed the golden letters formed by the powder were gradually fading out so he stopped .

The windows were tightly shut but even if the wind were blowing in it would not have scattered the powder that quickly . Moreover, the powder on the wooden plate beside him was fine, only the golden powder letters on the leaf were rapidly disappearing . Shao Xuan wanted to bury the leaf in the gold powder again thinking it would perhaps prevent the powder from dissipating . Before he could do so, his vision blacked out and he had lost consciousness .
