When Shao Xuan and Tuo returned to the boat, they were carrying the small beast that the giant beast had brought over. It wanted to escape from the giant beast's mouth, but it was killed by Shao Xuan.
"Brother Xuan, you went out to hunt at night?"
Guang, Duo Li, and the others had woken up. For some reason, they couldn't sleep that night and felt uneasy. When they came out and heard that Shao Xuan and Tuo had gone out to investigate, they didn't go back to the cabin to sleep but waited outside.
"You brought this back just to eat? I'm hungry, hehe … "
Duo Li's "hehe" was halfway through when he stared at the beast that Shao Xuan had thrown over as if someone was strangling his throat.
The night watchers also came over and saw the teeth marks on the beast's body.
Although the giant beast didn't bite the beast directly, it had brought it over from the other side of the river, so it was inevitable that there would be teeth marks left on the beast. The Yanjiao people were all too familiar with beasts, so even if the teeth marks weren't deep, they could roughly guess.
Kun Tu reached out and gestured at the shallow marks on the beast. "It's a big guy. I'm curious why this small one wasn't hurt. "
"I'm curious too." Tuo exhaled deeply, as if expelling all the tension from his lungs.
Kun Tu glanced at Tuo and pointed at his mouth in confusion. "What's wrong with you?"
Tuo raised his hand and wiped his mouth. There were still traces of blood. The corner of his mouth twitched. "I was scared."
When the giant beast looked at him before it left, Tuo tried his best to stay calm. All the hair on his body stood on end, and he clenched his teeth so hard that his gums bled. However, because his mouth was tightly shut, the blood didn't flow out. It only flowed out after he relaxed.
As soon as the giant beast left, the closed pores all over his body opened as his body relaxed. In just a few breaths, Tuo was covered in a layer of sweat. His back was still wet.
"I was scared to death." Tuo told them what he had seen. He didn't see as clearly as Shao Xuan, but he could still roughly describe the situation.
"Brother Xuan, what do we do with this one?" Guang gestured at the beast with his knife. "Do we eat it?"
"No, let's keep it. I'll bring it to the Drumming tribe tomorrow to talk to them." Shao Xuan said.
"What do you want to talk to them about? Don't they want us to leave as soon as possible? "Duo Li was reluctant. He was interested in the beautiful beads that the shaman of the Drumming tribe had mentioned, but he also noticed that the shaman of the Drumming tribe was trying to drive him away.
"I want to know too, how did the Drumming tribe in such a big way?" Shao Xuan couldn't figure it out. Moreover, the people of the Drumming tribe didn't seem to want their help. They didn't even want others to know about this.
That night, the atmosphere by the river was very strange. Although Shao Xuan and Tuo had already left, they knew that the giant beast was still moving. It didn't stop moving the beads. It wasn't until dawn that the tense atmosphere relaxed. Fish started swimming around the river.
The beast that Shao Xuan killed did not know how to swim, and the giant beasts had brought them here for other reasons. The Drumming tribe must have known the answer to that.
The next day, Shao Xuan only brought a dozen people to the Drumming tribe. They carried the beast they killed last night.
"Is your chief here? I need to talk to him. "Shao Xuan asked the people guarding outside the Drumming tribe.
The other party didn't expect the Yanjiao people to come again. They didn't dare to delay. The Yanjiao tribe was bigger than theirs. After reporting to the tribe, the other party came back and brought Shao Xuan's group to Bo Gu's house.
The beast Shao Xuan was carrying attracted a lot of attention. Although to Shao Xuan's group, it was just a small prey, but in this place where even fearsome beasts were hard to come by, this beast was already very eye-catching. They had never seen such a beast before, not to mention how easily Shao Xuan carried it. It was as if he wasn't carrying a three-meter-long beast, but a small piece of clothing.
The rumours of the Yanjiao people being strong were true! Some people thought to themselves.
Bo Gu frowned when he saw the beast Shao Xuan was carrying. However, he still spoke politely, "Were you all okay last night? Where did you hunt this beast? "
"I hunted it last night." Shao Xuan threw the beast on his shoulder in front of Bo Gu and didn't say much.
A few people who were close to Bo Gu came over and squatted on the ground. They used their hands to touch the beast that had been dead for a long time. They looked at each other and didn't say anything. They wanted to ask Shao Xuan something but didn't know what to say.
Bo Gu closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about how to reply. When he looked up again, he said to Shao Xuan, "There have been more fearsome beasts around here recently. It's better for the Yanjiao people to leave quickly."
"We hunt more fearsome beasts in Yanjiao than we eat grains." Shao Xuan looked at the people from the Drumming tribe. Seeing that they still didn't want to say anything, he didn't force them, "Okay, since you said so, we won't stay any longer. This beast is for you all. "
Shao Xuan told the others to leave the Drumming tribe. Before Duo Li left, he looked back at the people from the Drumming tribe. He said to Shao Xuan, "They want to hunt fearsome beasts. We have a lot of experience. Why didn't they ask us for some advice?"
Then, Duo Li asked, "Are we leaving now?"
"Why? Do you have any ideas? "Shao Xuan glanced at Duo Li.
"Hey, I'm just curious. How will they deal with this?"
Shao Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe they'll make a move soon. It'll be a big one."
"Really? Why don't we stay for a few more days and see how they deal with this big problem? I still don't know how other tribes hunt. "Duo Li's eyes lit up. He was even more excited than when he saw a gem.
It wasn't just Duo Li. The other people from Yanjiao were curious too. Watching others hunt was an effective way to learn more about them. Sometimes, it was even more convenient than fighting them directly. They really wanted to know how the Drumming tribe fought. They didn't have much strength. Did they just rely on nets and stone tools?
While the Yanjiao people were discussing if they should stay and watch the show, Bo Gu looked at the beast on the ground with a gloomy face. He raised his hand and signaled for everyone to disperse. Then, he walked to the wooden frame under his house.
The net wrapped around the frame blocked the view from the outside. Bo Gu walked to the center of the frame and stomped on it three times. It seemed like a casual stomp, but every time he stomped on it, a wave of air would spread outwards, causing the grass on the ground to sway.
After three stomps, Bo Gu stood there and waited. When he felt the force under his feet, he took a step back.
Where Bo Gu was standing, a thick round wooden cover opened. There was a layer of soil on top of the cover. There was grass growing on the soil.
There was a hole in the ground!
When the thick wooden lid opened, a man came out. His face was full of stubble and his nose was protruding. He didn't come out directly but instead leaned against the edge of the hole. He looked up and narrowed his eyes at Bo Gu, then yawned, "What's the matter?"
"Is it safe underground?" Bo Gu asked.
The person impatiently smacked his lips, "Of course. If it's not safe, why would I sleep here? It's just too noisy at night. You guys are making too much noise. "
The person spoke quickly and his voice was sharp. If someone wasn't familiar with him, they wouldn't be able to hear what he was saying. But Bo Gu was already used to their way of speaking. He could hear every word clearly.
Bo Gu didn't mind his complaints and only said, "As long as it's safe." Then, he turned to leave.
The person saw this and was about to go back to sleep when he thought of something. He poked his head out and quickly asked, "I heard there are Yanjiao people coming to your tribe?"
"Yes."
Bo Gu's expression was indifferent as if he didn't want to say more. But the person didn't seem to notice Bo Gu's expression and continued to ask.
"I haven't seen Yanjiao people before. I heard they look like fearsome beasts. Is that true? Do they have fangs, claws and a long tail? "The person squinted his eyes and asked again.
"None. Nothing special."
"I don't believe you. Are they still here? I want to take a peek. "
"Nope. They left."
The person's face was full of pity. He then asked, "Why didn't you ask the Yanjiao people for help? I heard the Yanjiao people are good at hunting fearsome beasts. If you ask the Yanjiao people for help, it will be easier. "
"This is our tribe's business. There's no need for the Yanjiao to interfere." Bo Gu said expressionlessly.
"Oh, since it's your tribe's business, then we won't interfere." Then, the person didn't wait for Bo Gu's response and closed the hole. The ground returned to its original state. There were only a few traces of the hole being opened.
Bo Gu took a deep breath and raised his leg. He wanted to stomp on the hole and collapse it. Let's see how the people below can sleep peacefully!
But Bo Gu controlled himself and sighed. He walked towards the shaman's house.
