Chronicles of Primordial Wars Chapter 250

After the crisis, the three children felt they were fortunate, but they were still scared.

Two years later, Ah-Nai still remembered Shao Xuan. After seeing Shao Xuan, Ah-Nai felt relieved and his face could not help but reveal his joy. His grandfather had said Shao Xuan and they were all the members of the same tribe.

Lang Ga and the others went to look at the struggling insect, which they had never seen before. Perhaps, such strange insects only survived on the grassland.

“Ah-Nai, why are you here?” Shao Xuan came over and asked. If they had arrived any later, it would have been bad.

Ah-Nai told him the story briefly.

“The livestock must’ve been eaten by these insects. It is said that a war among the tribes broke out on the mountain, and more beasts have appeared around the mountain recently. The insects may have come from the mountain.” Ah-Nai uttered his guess.

“Well, it must have been them. Where is your grandfather?” Shao Xuan asked.

“Grandpa has been waiting for Uncle Kun and the others for more than ten days.” Ah-Nai said.

Shao Xuan had already suspected this, but just then, he heard the sound of horseshoes.

“The people of the Feng tribe are coming.” Shao Xuan said.

Hearing Shao Xuan’s words, Duo Ya and Gua Er looked around.

Duo Ya was still vigilant. Even though these people saved her and the other two, they were not the members of her tribe. Seeing that both Ah-Nai and Gua Er were familiar with him, she became less alert, but she still carefully looked at these outsiders. It seemed that it would not be easy to deal with these people who were not inferior to the patrolling warriors.

When Duo Ya and Gua Er saw the members of the patrolling team on the other side of the hill, they were so happy that they shouted at once.

The team of the Feng tribe came here, led by Yi Bei, whom Shao Xuan had met. Gua Er’s father was also among them, and he was so anxious that he was sweating.

The two children were all right, and the people of the patrolling team immedately felt relieved. But the other ones who appeared here made them become vigilant. Not to mention, there was an unusual wolf next to them. Those who had hunted wolves before could see that the wolf was different from those they had killed. It would be difficult for them to defeat it, except for their chief. It was more powerful than the wild wolves in the forest.

Gua Er’s father drove the horse over, first he checked to see whether Gua Er was injured. Then he noticed this group of strangers.

Shao Xuan left an impression on Yi Bei, but he just could not remember his name.

Shao Xuan approached and said,“From the Flaming Horns tribe, Shao Xuan.”

“Oh, yes, you’ve been here with the traveling team.” Yi Bei remembered him.

Hearing “Shao Xuan” this name, Gua Er’s father knew that he was the creator of the wolf wood carving. He looked at the wolf next to him, and compared it with his wood carving. They looked really alike! He had made it according to the appearance of this wolf, right?

After Shao Xuan briefly introduced Mai and the others, he told their purpose of coming here.

“We came here to pick up some people and try to exchange for some healthy young livestock.”

Yi Bei glanced at the group of people behind Shao Xuan. All looked powerful, though they did not look very aggressive, they couldn’t be underestimated. If the people of the Feng tribe encountered such a team, they would immediately be alert. But these people had just saved their children, and they knew one of them.

Yi Bei noticed that after the members of the patrolling team arrived, they had fixed their eyes on the wolf. He was also shocked, for he had never seen such a wolf on the grasslands. Perhaps in some tribes on the grasslands there were some wolves of such a size. For example, there were ferocious beasts in the Hui tribe. But after all, there are few such tribes on the grassland. There were other famous big tribes, not inferior to those in the central region. But the one in front is an unknown ‘Flaming Horns tribe’.

No matter what he thought, Yi Bei still showed his enthusiasm since they were not malicious or aggressive. Their words showed their intention of exchanging with them.

Ordering some people to bring along the two dead insects, Yi Bei led Shao Xuan and the others to the tribe.

Shao Xuan had come here with the traveling team, with the people of the Pu tribe. Naturally he hadn’t got much attention. But this time, they came to represent their tribe, a mysterious tribe that could not be underestimated. Yi Bei should attach great importance, he had also ordered someone to go back to report it to the shaman and the chief.

Shao Xuan and others did not directly enter the Feng tribe. Instead, they went  to the place where Old He lived.

The wanderers who went out to find Ah-Nai had already gotten the news and hurried to go back. When Old He was told that Ah-Nai was fine, he was considering whether or not he would go back to see his young grandson. At that moment, he saw a group of people coming here.

“Shao... Shao Xuan?” Old He saw Shao Xuan, and his grandson, Ah-Nai, next to Shao Xuan.

Hearing the name “Shao Xuan”, the people sitting on the grass immediately got up, and stretched their necks to look at them. They had learned from Old He that two years ago in the tribe a totem warrior had appeared who was called Shao Xuan.

So some of their tribe arrived?

Thinking of this, the wanderers were excited.

Even those whose legs and feet were hurt had their partners help them up and looked at the team coming towards them. Obviously they had never seen them, but they felt familiar with them. They were really from their tribe.

“Yes... yes, it is the Flaming Horns tribe?”

“It’s ‘our’ tribe!” Someone corrected.

“They are really from our tribe, and they are certainly totem warriors!” The tribes on the grasslands had a different attitude towards totem warriors, compared with towards the wanderers. Since the members of the patrolling team of the Feng tribe were cautious, they knew they were totem warriors, not wanderers like them.

“Look, there is a wolf!”

“Such a big wolf! Is it tamed?”

Old He was so excited that he moved a few steps forward to welcome them.

“Grandpa!” Ah-Nai threw himself into his arms and told him what he had experienced.

Looking at his uninjured grandson, Old He looked at Shao Xuan with gratitude.

“Long time no see, Old He.” Shao Xuan laughed and said.

Looking away from Old He, Shao Xuan looked at a young man walking towards him.

With excitement and shyness on his square face, the man walking towards them had dark skin, rough palms, and new and old injuries and scars on his bodies due to frequent working outside. The torn animal skin coat failed to cover the traces left by the grass rope on his shoulders. Because of the hard life, although he was not stronger than the other warriors of the Flaming Horns tribe, but he looked sturdy. He hadn’t had a good rest for many days, so he looked a bit tired. But he looked at the warriors of the Flaming Horns tribe with keen eyes.

“He is called Kun Tu. Originally he intended to take us back together.” Old He introduced him to them.

Raising his chin, Shao Xuan stepped back, pointed at Mai, who was standing next to him, and introduced him to the wanderers, and said, “This is our team leader, a senior totem warrior, Mai.”

Shaw Xuan specifically mentioned he was a “senior totem warrior”. It was obvious that he wanted to make these wanderers feel more secure, and also make Mai leave a deep impression on them. If these people awakened the totem power in the future, Mai could lead them.

For the wanderers, they seldom saw totem warriors, not to mention senior totem warriors. He was at the same level as the leader of the patrolling team of the Feng tribe, right?

Mai let people distribute some food and herbs to the wanderers, talked with Kun Tu, and asked him some details.

“Mai, Shao Xuan. Our chief invites you to go to see him.” Yi Bei came and said.

Shao Xuan glanced at the wanderers. Yi Bei saw this, laughed and said, “They go with you.”

From now on, Kun Tu and the others were no longer wanderers. Since they were no longer wanderers, they were treated differently.

Thanks to the support from the tribe, the few wanderers had been excited for a long time and could not be calm.

They first found a place to settle those injured and tired wanderers. Mai brought some people to the tribe to visit the chief.

The chief of the Feng tribe wanted to see the people of the Flaming Horns tribe to know who they were and to thank them for killing the strange insects.

It was said that they wanted to exchage for some livestock, so the chief of the Feng tribe had someone take Shao Xuan to choose some.

Mai stayed there to talk with the people of the Feng tribe while Shao Xuan selected livestock with ten people. Not all livestock were in one place. They picked some in one place and others in another.

Gua Er saw Shaw Xuan with the people and the wolf coming to his home and he was especially excited,

“Father, a real living wolf. Living!”

“I know! Don’t go there. Be careful, or it will eat you!”

Gua Er’s father helped Shao Xuan pick the livestock, Gua Er wanted to come close, but he did not dare. He could only stand not far to watch them. He had forgotten he had panicked when he had met the insect. When he was free, he stared at Caesar.

Besides Gua Er, there were a lot of people standing around there, adults or children, especially Gua Er’s friends, who had seen Gua Er’s wood carving. Gua Er had showed it to them. They had thought the wood carving was exaggerated. Some of them had seen wolves, and even alpha wolves. But they had never seen such a wolf with such sharp paws and fangs.

However, it seemed that wood carving still could not show the essence of the real wolf. They glanced at the real wolf and felt afraid at once.

Shao Xuan let others help him select some, and he also selected a few, including cows, goats, and horses. All were young livestock, and they were able to run. Because the chief attached great importance to the Flaming Horns tribe, the people who helped pick the livestock took it very seriously.

After selecting some livestock, they exchanged with them with water moonstones or shells. On his way, Shao Xuan had traded water moon stones for shells and other things in a market. No matter what the Feng tribe accepted, Shao Xuan could give them.

At last they got twenty cows, twenty goats and twenty horses, male and female.

Then they asked the wanderers to look after the livestock, for they had experience on this and could take good care of them.

Tonight the Flaming Horns tribe would stay in the Feng tribe. Because of the war over the mountain, more beasts climbed over the mountain.

On the mountain, besides the Feng tribe, there were several other tribes which had been attacked by the strange insects and beasts. Naturally, the number of patrolling warriors was increased.

Caesar was lying on the grass outside and listening to the distant sounds, one after another. He felt it was too noisy. He stood up, shook his fur, looked up and howled.

“Awuuu~~!”

Its howl passed through the grasslands of the Feng tribe and even spread further to the mountain.

The cows and goats of the Feng tribe were shivering in the small field, and many horses in the paddlock became anxious, but not too much. They did not feel like the bloodlust was target towards them. Some of them had also faced against wolves before and they did not lack courage.

Some of the beasts that were active on the border of the Feng tribe, hearing the sound, without hesitation they turned around and ran away, especially the wolves.

Under the ground, a few insects were moving towards the Feng tribe. They also paused, and probably were thinking about it. After a while, they also turned around and went to another tribe.

After Caesar howled, everything became silent.

Not hearing any provocative shouts, Caesar was satisfied. He laid down again and continued to sleep.

The patrolling warriors of the Feng tribe looked at the beasts running away from them and looked at each other.
