Chapter 552
Escape!
In this dark night, every tribe was fighting their own battles.
Sometimes a painful cry was heard, other times a loud thud or crash.
Shao Xuan had successfully caught his third green-faced fanged beast for the night. After injecting the poison in the beast, he blew the whistle.
Soon, Duo Kang, Mai and the other tribesmen from the Flaming Horn and Hui tribe were there.
“How was it? Is anyone hurt?” Shao Xuan smelled iron in the air, the blood of the beasts didn’t smell like this so it could only be from human blood.
“No worries, just a small injury.” Duo Kang lifted his arm. There was a cut as long as a finger and an inch wide. It was already treated with a bandage on it. The fang from a green face fang beast had lightly brushed past his arm. Luckily, it wasn’t that serious.
Each of the tribe members had minor injuries here and there. The more serious one was on the Hui tribesmen. If Duo Kang didn’t manage to pull him away from the beast in time, that wound would instead be a large hole gushing out endless amounts of blood.
He She was very grateful towards the Flaming Horn tribe. He made a mental note to send them gifts when they got back. He hoped to continue working with them because compared to the other tribes, Flaming Horn was the one most likely to keep their word.
“We all caught one each, Duo Kang caught two,” said Mai.
The four of them collectively caught five beasts while Shao Xuan caught three. In addition to the one in the cave, in total, Flaming Horn had caught nine beasts.
“Shao Xuan, should we continue?” asked Duo Kang.
“No, let’s prepare to leave,” said Shao Xuan.
“This early?” Duo Kang wasn’t willing to go yet.
“We have to leave now since the beasts have their focus on the people of Rock Hill. Once they change their targets, it will be hard for us to get away. We shouldn’t be greedy.” Shao Xuan couldn’t wipe away the sense of danger he felt. Those city folk may run in their direction to lead the beasts here.
Duo Kang thought about it for a while. There really was no hurry since their tribe was just north of the Fearsome Beast Forest. Compared to the other tribes, they were located quite close to this place.
“Sure. Then let’s hurry, those slave masters are the cunning kind.” Once Duo Kang got Shao Xuan’s perspective, he couldn’t wait to get back with those beasts and try out wielding new weapons. He was wary of the slave masters. The slave masters on the other side of the sea were huge figures not to be messed with. Although the slave masters here only really controlled the desert, they were still slave masters. They had skills that they should be cautious of.
Gu La blew his whistle to inform the other tribes. Then, Shao Xuan headed to the cave to bring the first green face fang beast out and gave it three doses of poison. He wasn’t willing to take the risk of bringing it back conscious.
“Why aren’t they coming back?” Shao Xuan went downhill and noticed the members of the other tribes weren’t here. There was nothing important left in the cave, everyone was able to leave with their weapons. Gu La had given the signal for them to leave, did they not hear it or were they just unwilling to leave?
“I’ll try again.” Gu La said with a sour expression. The tribes had worked together for years, everyone knew what the signal meant. What was the reason that everyone here wasn’t reacting to it?
At that moment, bird caws came from a corner of the mountain.
“It’s the Feather tribe, they don’t plan to leave yet. Let’s wait for the others then.” Gu La said with a frown.”
“Tell them, either we all leave together or they stay here and we leave,” said Shao Xuan.
Gu La did as he was told. The reply he got was that the others didn’t want to leave yet.
“Up to them, let’s go,” said Shao Xuan as he let Gu La send one last reply.
Soon, a short whistle was heard.
“They agreed.” Gu La didn’t understand their logic. Were they really willing to stay here just for the green face fang beast? Were they really that greedy?
Shao Xuan thought this was out of character for them. Unless they knew something about the beast and how important it was.
