Chronicles of Primordial Wars Chapter 204

A dozen people arrived, judging from their clothes, they didn’t live in the wanderer area. They wore thick coats and they walked with arrogance.

The residents of the wanderer area had looks of either fearfulness or full of vigilance. They were always afraid of provoking others and getting into troubles. But travelers didn’t act like that.

Looking at those striding towards them, He Er, who rushed here to tell them the news, shrunk his head, he did not expect these people would come so soon.

“Yan Zhi, you go look for Mu Qian. Hurry up, maybe she can still stop them, or it will really be too late!” He Er said anxiously.

Living in this place since childhood, he knew Jiao Wu and his brother. They got more and more familiar with each other and helped each other. Although sometimes they had conflicts, He Er cherished their friendship, for most of his friends who grew up with him were gone forever. They were the few who survived today. Rationally speaking, Yan Zhi and his brothers were powerful in the wanderer area, so their group was more capable. But if today they are killed by the travelers, he would lead a miserable life.

He Er saw that Yan Zhi was still unwilling to go get Mu Qian and said, “Maybe I can go there to get her!”

“No, you don’t need to. And right now the gate of the Longboat tribe is closed.” Said Yan Zhi.

During the snowy season, the tribe closed the gate, which was the rule of the Longboat tribe, for the members worried that outside people would sneak into the living area of their tribe to take shelter from the heavy snow. That is why when the weather is bad, the Longboat tribe would close the gate and no one is allowed to come close to the border. Those who came close to the tribe’s living area besides the gate would be attacked by the warriors. Those wanderers were not powerful enough to defeat them. Perhaps before they could even cry out, they would be pierced by spears or arrows and look like hedgehogs.

“Let’s go!” He Er pulled Yan Zhi and wanted to leave. But no matter how hard he tried to pull him, he kept still.

In fact, usually when Yan Zhi saw the arrogant travelers, he would try to get away and find a place to escape them. In the past, they had met travelers several times. Mu Qian had witnessed their encounter once. They used to run away from the wanderer area and find a place to avoid them, and then they would came back after the travelers left.

But now, Shao Xuan did not move. It seemed that he didn’t want to leave. Yan Zhi naturally would not leave Shao Xuan alone, because now Shao Xuan was their hope. Even if they lose their lives, they would not let Shao Xuan die from this.

Yan Zhi looked away from Shao Xuan and then looked at Yang Sui, who was standing in the house and looking outside. He noticed that this shaman candidate didn’t look anxious.

Were they certain that they could defeat the travelers?

Yes. Shao Xuan is a totem warrior, and Yang Sui will be the next shaman of the Rain tribe. Those travelers should avoid offending them. In most cases, travelers didn’t provoke totem warriors and shamans.

He Er knew he couldn’t pull away Yan Zhi, so he looked at Jiao Wu. He saw that Jiao Wu was still standing there. He looked at Yan Zhuo and his wife, who had just finished packing things to leave. But they put the things down, for they didn’t intend to leave.

Jiao Wu didn’t think through it as much like his brother, as he wasn’t smart. He saw Shao Xuan and his brother stay standing still, so he naturally did not flee alone.

“He Er. You leave first.” Yan Zhi said to He Er. Those men obviously came for them and it was kind enough for He Er to ask them to leave. But if he stayed, he would just unnecessarily get dragged into it.

He didn’t understand why they didn’t flee or ask for help, even though they knew that the travelers came to cause trouble. Did they have a deathwish?

He Er was anxious and scratched his head. He hurriedly ran away, but said, “I will go look for help!”

He Er said that he would look for help, but he would not go to the Longboat tribe, for the gate was closed because of the heavy snow. He would not go there to sacrifice his life in vain. He turned to the wanderers who had a good relationship with them, to see if there was a solution.

As a dozen travelers were getting closer, the men in the surrounding areas carefully paid attention to their movement and saw they were not the targets. They instantly felt relieved, as they weren’t the targets of the travelers.

Judging from their facial expressions and tense air, everyone knew they were coming to kill some people!

Seeing several people walking in the front clearly, Yang Sui whispered to Shao Xuan, “Those are the people we saw in the boat yesterday.”

In other words, it was very likely that these people had killed the wanderers yesterday. They had killed one or two people yesterday, and today they could kill four or five more. As long as they didn’t make a big trouble or damage this wanderer area, the people of the Longboat tribe would not stop them.

Shao Xuan had seen the man walking in the front yesterday, but after only less than a day, that man had forgotten him. Shao Xuan was probably no one worthwhile noticing to him. He never remembered such a small potato.

The man walking in the front arrived in front of the wooden house and glanced at the several people standing at the door. He was very shocked that they didn’t run away when they saw them approaching. He had sent a few men to guard at the nearby crossings. It seemed there was no need for him to do so.

“Who is Yan Zhuo?” The man said and glanced at each of them, one by one, with his sharp eyes. In his eyes, they were the same, but when he saw the coats of Yan Zhi and the others, his eyes flashed. He didn’t like such kind of animal skin, because to him these animal skins were cheap.

Yesterday, Yan Zhuo and Jiao Wu had exchanged for animal skins, which were worn by Yan Zhi and the others now. Because of the cold weather, they all wore thick animal skin coats. As Shao Xuan said, they needed to stay healthy now, for they had to hurry along their journey. Shao Xuan told each of them to wear one or two coats.

The wanderers in this area rarely wore so many animal skin coats, and these coats weren’t worn out. This proved that the travelers got real news.

Hearing the man’s questions, Yan Zhi did not move, and Shao Xuan did not move. Jiao Wu was confused, he could not help but glance at Yan Zhuo.

The man was shrew, so he saw the movement of Jiao Wu. He looked at Yan Zhuo standing next to him and gave a malicious smile.

“Are you Yan Zhuo? I had lost a few pieces of jade yesterday which I had gotten from the Mang tribe. However, when I got off the boat, I lost them. I heard that you picked up my jade, right?”

It sounded like a fake story, and when he was talking, his facial expression told everyone: “I am coming here to rob you”.

When the man shouted his name and looked at him, Yan Zhuo knew who the snitch was. He had always been alert to wanderers and travelers, but he was once again betrayed by the man who he considered a good brother rather than a liar. This really upset Yan Zhuo. This time. because of him. everyone got into trouble. Of course, he would not admit taking his jade.

“I didn’t pick up your jade.” Yan Zhuo said.

“No?” The man looked at Yan Zhuo with his sharp eyes, “But someone said he saw you do so! Otherwise, how could you exchange it for so many animal skin coats?!”

As the man was talking, his voice became more and more high-pitched, and the totem patterns appeared on his face. Those wanderers hiding in nearby houses listened to the sounds outside carefully. When they heard this. they also wondered why Yan Zhi got so many animal skin coats.

Among the travelers who came here, the leading man was a junior totem warrior. In a fight against an ordinary man, if he used the totem power, he would put a large pressure on the ordinary man.

However, when that man looked at Yan Zhuo, Shao Xuan stood in front of Yan Zhuo.

“I don’t know who told you this.” Said Shao Xuan. “Yan Zhuo got the animal skin coats using the things I gave him.”

The man was a little irritated when Shao Xuan helped Yan Zhuo explain for it. But hearing Shao Xuan’s words, he was happy. He had wondered who was the previous owner of this jade, and intended to get some information from Yan Zhuo. But now he didn’t need to bother to get the answer.

Looking at the young man standing in front of Yan Zhuo, the man first thought he was just a ordinary person, who dressed not much better than those wanderers and looked young and energetic.

His eyes looked greedy and he smiled more happily. He spoke with some arrogance, “Oh, it is you who stole my jade.”

Yan Zhuo and Jiao Wu had intended to say something, but they were stopped by Shao Xuan who raised his hand. He moved three steps forwards and came in front of the man.

As travelers, they had experienced ups and downs and had narrow escapes from death many times. That was why they were more sensitive than many people. When Shao Xuan moved forward three steps to come closer, each of them suddenly felt scared.

Especially the man who was standing opposite Shao Xuan no longer smiled. He felt many hairs on his body stand erect, and looked at Shao Xuan with eyes full of vigilance.

“A totem warrior?” The man said with astonishment. He could only judge the man standing in front of him was a totem warrior, but he couldn’t tell his level.

Taking a deep breath twice and holding back his scare and doubt, the man moved his neck to get rid of his strange scare. He shook his sturdy arms and his strong body looked powerful. Swinging the arm, he held a big stone hammer in his big hand to show his strength.

The stone hammer was stained with dry blood, so that the people who saw it could not help but feel scared. The blood on it was left by the wanderers he killed yesterday.

“Which tribe do you belong to?” The man asked. He often led his people everywhere, so he became used to talking with arrogance and aggression.

Shao Xuan didn’t have any facial expression facing the man’s aggression, but gently said,“The Flaming Horns tribe. Shao Xuan.”

“The Flaming Horns tribe?” The man said the name of the tribe again. He tried to recall but failed. Then he looked at the man next to him.

The man next to him shook his head, meaning he had never heard of it. Such an unknown name showed that it was certainly a small tribe. He did not care.

Travelers seldom offend those from middle and big tribes and their shaman. They were not scared by those from the small tribes, even though many of them came from small tribes.

“Oh, Shao Xuan from Flaming Horns tribe. What a pity. Probably you will be unable to return!” The man said as he tried to look especially fearsome.

He never expected that he would meet a totem warrior from another tribe in the wanderer area, which more or less destroyed his original plan. But it didn’t matter, because he just came from a small tribe. He believed that even the least powerful man following him here could kill this warrior from a small tribe. What’s more, even if this brat was a intermediate totem warrior, the people he brought here could easily defeat him!

“But, I don’t think anyone can can stop me from going back.” Shao Xuan still looked calm.

The man fixed his eyes, but didn’t come to kill him himself. He always felt that as a leader he shouldn’t do everything in person, his men would rush to take action. So when he wanted to kill Shao Xuan, he just moved his fingers to tell the people standing behind him to do that.

Then a man among the travelers there walked quickly towards Shao Xuan, carrying a small stone hammer, and threw it towards Shao Xuan. Much snow on the ground moved in the air because he ran very fast and fiercely.

Everyone thought they would see what had happened yesterday again, but they only heard a bang and the sounds of broken bones. The man rushing at him with the hammer had fallen to the ground, and it seemed that he was embedded in the snow.

Beating the man, Shao Xuan kept his feet firm on the ground. Just now, he had just moved his arms.

The hammer that was thrown into the sky was dropping down.

Shao Xuan reached out to catch the handle of the stone hammer, moved it over the man’s face, and dropped it.

Bang!

The man. hit by his own stone hammer, screamed, but he only screamed once. His face bled and he fainted. His face had been hit by Shao Xuan and he nearly fell into a coma. Hit by his stone hammer again, he almost fell unconscious.

The leader of the travelers standing in front of Shao Xuan felt his eyelids twitch twice. His eyes were full of malice as he looked at him angrily.

He really did not expect that this brat in front of him could defeat his men, and his actions obviously disdainingly provoked him! Provoking him!

And the people standing behind Shao Xuan opened their eyes wide. They knew that Shao Xuan was a totem warrior, but they never thought Shao Xuan could defeat the other totem warriors with just a punch! Just one punch!

Those travelers who came to create trouble had very unbelieving facial expressions. As if they saw a dragon come out of a quail egg.

He should have inquired more about this totem warrior. It seems it is difficult to defeat this brat!

When He Er finally returned with some others, he saw their confrontation.
