Shao Xuan lifted a large stone and quickly walked from the river bank to the door of Yan Shuo's house. He kicked some wooden blocks to the side and threw the stone on the ground.
Bang!
Even those who stood further away felt the ground shake, not to mention Yan Shuo's family.
The close shaking caused another part of the wooden house, which was not very sturdy to begin with, to collapse.
He had overdone it.
Shao Xuan picked his nose and smiled apologetically at Yan Shuo's family.
"Cough, about that, I'll help you fix the house later." Shao Xuan said. When he was in the tribe, building a big house did not take much time. He followed the people of the Pu tribe and squeezed into a small place only because he thought it was troublesome. He would only stay for two or three days, so building a house was unnecessary. Moreover, he was unfamiliar with the place, so it was safer and less worrisome to stay in a place arranged for him.
However, now that he met people from the same tribe, it was a different story.
Yan Shuo's family was not angry at all. Instead, their eyes were shining as they looked at Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan was strong, so was the tribe. The stronger the tribe, the more stable they could stand in this world and survive for a long time.
No wonder their ancestors repeatedly told their children and grandchildren to remember their tribe and wait for the day they returned. Now it seemed that all their efforts were worth it!
After Shao Xuan threw the stone here, he jumped up and sat down. He waited for Yan Shuo's family to calm down a little before he discussed matters with Yan Shuo. As for moving the large stone in front of everyone, it was only a deterrent. Perhaps it was not much in other places, but here, it was still useful.
Looking at the happy atmosphere, Li wanted to reduce his presence as much as possible. He wanted to run as far away as possible. Shao Xuan's series of actions had already made him tremble with fear.
Looking at the snake slave who was still kneeling there in pain and the broken snake head at his feet, Li took a deep breath and turned to run.
However, just as he turned and took a step, a wooden stick broke through the wind and pierced through his chest.
The two ends of the wood weren't sharpened, but it still forcefully pierced through Ruthless' chest. Before Ruthless could even sense it, he had already been hit.
Kneeling on the ground, Li tried his best to keep his eyelids open, wanting to see who threw the wooden stick at him. But all he saw was a ball of golden light slowly approaching from afar.
The so-called golden light was naturally not some special luminous object, but the slave owner wearing the golden fur.
Yesterday, Shao Xuan saw that the slave owner was still wearing a black spotted animal skin. Today, he had changed it again. The golden fur reflected the light of the sun, making the slave owner look quite eye-catching.
It seemed that this slave owner liked to use this method to show his nobility. As a slave owner with a lot of slaves and financial resources, there was no shortage of animal skins.
Shao Xuan learned some information about this slave owner from the other members of the Pu tribe. The slave owner's name was Shi Shu. He had only been here for a few years. Sometimes he would stay here for a while before leaving. Sometimes he would disappear for a long time. He had a lot of people under him, so he didn't need to personally manage them.
It was said that the leader of the Pu tribe's traveling team had a good relationship with Shi Shu, so he could get some preferential treatment here. But Shao Xuan felt that when Fan Ning was facing Shi Shu, he was not so natural, and even cautious.
Shi Shu was a very dangerous person. The cruelty of a slave owner was something that everyone understood. The smile on the surface was not necessarily true, there could be a knife hidden in the smile.
When Shi Shu, who was wearing a dazzling golden outfit, slowly walked over, there was still a smile on his face. It was as if the stick that killed Ruthless was not kicked by him.
Beside this slave owner, there were two other people who were also his slaves. However, those two people had a relatively high status among the slaves owned by Shi Shu. They were not comparable to the snake slave that Li Yi brought.
While everyone was looking at Shi Shu, who was wearing a dazzling golden outfit, Shao Xuan raised his eyes to the sky. Just now, that slave owner had kicked out more than one stick.
In the sky, a long shadow quickly fell from a high place.
Puff!
The person who had been beaten by Shao Xuan to kneel there, unable to get up, had his throat pierced from behind.
He looked at his own blood flowing down the wooden stick, as if he wanted to say something, but his throat could not make any other sound. The chain-like lines that originally appeared on his neck began to disappear from the wound.
He raised his arm, wanting to grab the person who walked past him, but found that the distance of less than five steps was like a natural moat that could not be touched. He could only watch as that golden ball slowly passed by him.
When all the chain-like lines disappeared, the person who often came to the wanderer area to be arrogant, powerlessly dropped his hand, no longer breathing.
The people around only felt a chill go straight to their heads, and their fear of the slave owner deepened.
Shao Xuan looked at the slave owner who was walking straight towards him. He was wearing clothes made of linen, much better than the coarse linen that the Pu tribe had. And on Shi Shu's waist, there was also a very fine polished stone axe hanging from a leather rope.
The stone axe was not big, the body was flat, the blade was wide, the curve of the arc was a little big, and the two corners were slightly upturned. There were also some patterns on the body, and it could be seen that those patterns were very carefully carved. And this kind of carefully crafted stone axe was definitely not used for cutting trees. This kind of autocratic primitive weapon looked like a kind of accessory that hung on the body.
In addition, Shao Xuan also felt the movement of the power of inheritance from Shi Shu.
The slave owner was like the combination of the chief and the shaman in the tribe. He had absolute leadership and some abilities similar to the shaman. It was just that the slaves under him were not as lucky as the warriors in the tribe.
Shi Shu looked at Chacha next to him, then turned back to Shao Xuan and said, "Sorry, the slaves below are not obedient."
Obviously, the slave owner had understood the whole story, but he did not attack Shao Xuan as other people thought, nor did he apologize as he said. Instead, he watched Chacha eat the snake with great interest.
After watching for a while, the slave owner dressed in glittering gold left with his people, as if he had come just to execute the two disobedient slaves. But Shao Xuan guessed that the slave owner's goal was not so. Just now, Shi Shu's eyes stayed on Chacha's feet for a while.
Shi Shu's focus should be on the Yanjiao tribe.
Could it be that he knew about the Yanjiao tribe?
Many slave owners would often travel around the mainland, so maybe he really did know. But, looking at Shi Shu's appearance, he did not intend to say more.
Shi Shu left, and the people around him also took away the two slaves who were killed. Only the two pools of blood on the ground told everyone what had happened here.
After leaving the wanderers' area, one of the people who followed Shi Shu asked for the vacant position.
"If you killed them, you killed them. Just promote another one." Shi Shu said indifferently.
The person next to him respectfully bowed and responded. Shi Shu's answer was as he expected. Maybe the slave owner did not even know the names of the two slaves.
The ranks of slaves were divided into "li", "fu", "fu", "fu", "tai", and so on. The slaves below "tai" were all inferior slaves. The snake slave was only responsible for raising snakes for the master and got more power, but his rank was still a bit lower than "tai", so it was not worth the slave owner to remember his name. The slave owner naturally did not care about the life and death of the inferior people.
After Shi Shu left, Shao Xuan chatted with Yan Shuo.
Next, Shao Xuan would definitely go to the central region to inquire about some information. With Yan Shuo's current ability, it was too dangerous to go to the central region. Plus, he still had his wife and children, so Shao Xuan could not bring them all. He did not understand the situation in the central region. He only knew that many people there were very strong. Before the situation was clear, it was not convenient to bring these people.
Yan Shuo also knew that it was not good for his family to go to the central region, so he wanted to stay. When Shao Xuan came back from the central region, he would follow.
Shao Xuan originally intended to let Yan Shuo live in another place. The slave owner was not easy to get along with. Yan Shuo refused.
"No need. If the slave owner really wanted to kill people, he would not wait. Just like Li and the others, he would do it on the spot. Since he did not do anything to us, he will not do anything in a short time. "Yan Shuo still had some understanding of the slave owner.
"Moreover, I am more familiar with this place. I also know what kind of people are around here. If we change places, it may not be the same." Yan Shuo said.
Shao Xuan thought about it and agreed. He only knew people from the Drumming tribe and the Pu tribe here. The Pu tribe would not let people from other tribes stay in their tribe for a long time, and the Drumming tribe was too far away. No one would go there. Yan Shuo's family could not go there by themselves. It was too dangerous.
After thinking about it, Yan Shuo's idea was more practical.
"Then you can stay here for the time being. I will help you build a house."
With Shao Xuan's help, the new wooden house could be built quickly. The person who came to find Yan Shuo last night was in a daze because of his injuries. He woke up very late today. When he woke up, he heard others talking about Yan Shuo and hurried over.
As a comrade who had fought together, Yan Shuo also wanted to help him. Before the other party went to find the slave owner, he would let him stay with them.
The new house was bigger than the previous one, so it was possible for one more person to live in it.
Shao Xuan also felt that it was feasible. With more people, they could take care of each other.
"When I come back from the central region, I will bring you back to the tribe." Shao Xuan left some water moon stones for Yan Shuo, and also made some stone tools for him.
Compared to before, Yan Shuo's strength was a little stronger now. It was absolutely possible for him to make a living, and maybe he could even hunt a lot of prey.
On the day the Pu tribe left, Shao Xuan temporarily bid farewell to Yan Shuo's family. He followed the expanded travel team and continued to head to the central region.
According to Yan Shuo, he was not sure what happened to the tribe that year, but he knew that there should be many wanderers like him.
If he could find these people, Shao Xuan could bring them back to the tribe.
