Chapter 562
What To Eat
On this day, everyone was informed to stay at home and not go outside for the time being. Whether they lived in the forest or outside the forest, they all stayed indoors.
Many people in the tribe panicked, worried that something big had happened.
The wanderers who went to work on the farm every day also panicked. Farming was the only way for them to exchange food with the Flaming Horn tribe. When the Flaming Horn tribe sent out such news, they couldn’t help but think about what had happened. Could it possibly be another robber?
No, it shouldn’t be. They didn’t need to take such precautions for robbers. Was there something dangerous out there? Even if there were thieves, were they that dangerous?
No matter how curious they were and what they thought in their hearts, they had to follow orders passed by the Flaming Horn tribe.
All of a sudden, the mountains and forests became much quieter.
In order to prevent the green-faced fanged beast from getting angry, the tribesmen moved Caesar and the other beasts away and made sure the beasts did not see each other.
The patrolling soldiers kept guard everywhere, with their shields and nets ready to subdue the beasts just in case they suddenly decided to cause trouble.
Each of the beasts were as tall as Shao Xuan’s waist and abdomen. The largest one reached Shao Xuan’s chest level. The vine rope attached to the beasts was thicker than the arm of an adult. They were the toughest vines in the tribe usually used to tie up beasts. Shao Xuan could not hold onto seven vine ropes at once. It was too inconvenient. He only needed to take control of the knot holding all the seven ropes together.
The seven green-faced fanged beasts that were finally released seemed extremely excited and were ready to dash off anytime. Unfortunately, their necks were tied, and Shao Xuan firmly held the other end of the rope. They were unable to escape. After the successful enslavement, the slaves’ fear of their master kept them from using their fangs to pierce the rope. Rather, they all slowed down because they were not allowed to “fly.” Thus, when Shao Xuan led the seven beasts out into the grounds, this was what the tribesmen saw:
Seven figures with green faces, droopy eyes, long fangs, and fierce expressions. They swung their stubby limbs quickly, kicking the grass on the ground and causing it to fly up into the air. Their huge nostrils snorted out hot air.
The rope was pulled tight, and it was making a squeaky sound. Fortunately, the rope was strong enough so it didn’t break.
“Are all of you ready?” Shao Xuan looked at Duo Kang who ran back from outside the forest.
“Yes. Besides those patrolling soldiers and warriors, everyone else is safe inside.” Duo Kang rubbed his hands while he stared at the seven green-faced fanged beasts with eager eyes. He kept thinking in his heart, “Just pick something to eat. Don’t be so picky! How can we raise you if you’re so picky about food?”
Shao Xuan continued to move forward after he received a clear answer from the beasts.
Where the seven green-faced fanged beasts stood became four pits dug by the rapid movements of their stubby limbs. Now as Shao Xuan moved, the beasts became more active and were ready to dash. Luckily Shao Xuan was pulling on them, or else they would have run away.
Shao Xuan initially thought that green-faced fanged beasts would sniff everywhere to look for food, but it was not the case now. Besides stopping for a while after their release, they never stopped trying to rush in the direction of the forest. Shao Xuan thought that the beasts would all try to escape in different directions, but to his surprise, the seven beasts all moved in a uniform motion.
Shao Xuan followed them from behind, and because they ran on an open path, there were no trees obstructing their path. So far the journey was smooth. The beasts wanted to run in a straight line, but if they went straight ahead, they would enter the forest where the seven ropes tying them together might become entangled due to the intertwining trees. What Shao Xuan did was he led them back onto the open road before they ran out of the safe route.
Others from the tribe may not be able to handle the pulling force of seven green-faced fanged beasts alone.
After the patrolling soldiers saw this, they were discussing among themselves.
“I heard that those beasts can fly on the grass. Is it true?”
“But they look heavy. I don’t see them flying yet.”
