The Shaman gave Shao Xuan a bag of herbal medicine for recuperation, but did not apply the medicine for wounds. He asked Shao Xuan to ask Ta for it the day before the hunting trip.
The bag was not big, and some of the herbs were hard to find. Therefore, the medicine for Shao Xuan was not much. According to the Shaman, it was enough for ten days.
If he could return safely, even if he was kicked back to his original hunting group, he could still look for opportunities in the future. Even if he could not join the advance group, he could still try to exchange some medicine with the Shaman. However, he decided to check the effect of the medicine first. He wondered if Old Ke would feel better after taking the medicine. Shao Xuan thought.
The hunting group came back on the twenty-first day. Three people were seriously injured, and one was missing. The missing person was dead, and even his bones could not be found.
It seemed that the hunting group was in big trouble this time. However, the game brought back by the hunting group still made everyone excited. Except for the families of the wounded and the dead, the families of the other warriors were all shouting excitedly. At least, they would not have to worry about food for the next twenty days.
In the evening, Tuo came to Shao Xuan's cabin and sent him a message, "Xuan, find some time tomorrow to go to the team leader to get the things. We will leave the day after tomorrow."
"Thank you, I got it."
Tuo did not enter the cabin. He still had to inform the people who were patrolling.
Shao Xuan looked out of the window. Night Swallow had become restless and active. People in the mountain foot district had all returned to their own houses. But it was different from the previous days. This time, there were children in the mountain foot district who would participate in the first hunting trip in their lives. It was inevitable that they would be excited. They trained during the day, and when they could not sleep at night, they would roar to vent their excitement.
Closing the window, Shao Xuan packed up the few stone arrowheads that he had made today.
He heard that the advance group would hunt in farther places, where it was more dangerous. But he did not know what was the difference between them and the other hunting groups. Were the ferocious beasts more difficult to deal with? Or was it something else? Thinking about the game brought back by the advance group, he could not find anything special.
The next day, Shao Xuan went up the mountain to look for Ta. He met many people from the advance group.
Because they were not informed in advance, the advance group was very surprised when they learned that Shao Xuan was going to hunt with them this time. There were also a lot of suspicious protesters, but they were all suppressed by Tower.
After taking the medicine, Shao Xuan was left behind to get to know the other warriors of the advance group. However, he didn't have much to say to them, so they still treated Shao Xuan as a child. In terms of strength, Shao Xuan was indeed the weakest, so in the face of their doubtful and contemptuous gazes, Shao Xuan only smiled and did not explain.
On the day the hunting team departed, Shao Xuan sent Caesar to Old Ke's place.
Facing Old Ke's worried gaze, Shao Xuan clenched his fists. "Don't worry!"
Hearing Shao Xuan's words, Old Ke's heart skipped a beat, and he became even more worried.
Last time, this kid also said "don't worry" before hunting, and what happened? First, he encountered the Thorn Black Wind, and then he got lost in the cave. It was said that Mai and the others were so worried that their faces turned pale. Not to mention that he was going with the advance group this time. Would he encounter more trouble?
Don't worry? Don't worry my ass!
Looking at Shao Xuan's back as he carried the equipment up the mountain, Old Ke sat at the door, worried.
Just like last time, they had to gather and sing a song before hunting.
Shao Xuan learned the hunting song seriously after he came back, and this time he did not make up the numbers.
While singing the hunting song, the Shaman glanced at Shao Xuan, and was satisfied that this kid was not pretending like last time.
However, this time, the Shaman did not look at him, but Shao Xuan attracted more people's attention.
All the people present stood together in groups. Last time, Shao Xuan stood with Lang Ga, but this time, he stood with Tuo, Keke, and the others.
The other warriors in the hunting group naturally knew who Tuo and Keke were, and that was why they were so shocked.
That was the advance group! Did Xuan go there to seek death? How could the team leader agree?!
Of course, more people were jealous, especially the new warriors in the hunting group this time. They were awakened at the same time as Shao Xuan. When they were still training, Shao Xuan had already joined the hunting group. When they finally joined the hunting group, they found that Shao Xuan was already standing with the advance group. They were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
Even Mao, who was recognized as the most talented among the new awakened warriors this year, was not brought in by his own father. What did Shao Xuan do?
The warriors could not figure out what the team leader was thinking, but it did not stop him from teaching the kid a lesson. For example, Sai was scolded by his father again.
Hoodlum did not join the hunting group this time. Shao Xuan broke several of Hoodlum's ribs when he came back from the last hunting trip. Hoodlum recuperated at home for nearly ten days, and was beaten by Mao again when he went out. Shao Xuan was still worried that Hoodlum's family would make trouble for Old Ke, so he did not beat him too hard. But Mao had his father and grandpa to back him up, so he beat Hoodlum even harder. Hoodlum was beaten down again before he had fully recovered. Now he was still recuperating at home, so he could not join the hunting group.
Everyone knew that Hoodlum was in trouble, so they did not interfere, and just let Shao Xuan and Mao beat him up.
The team leader also ordered Hoodlum and his father to stay at home and reflect on their mistakes.
Even a healthy warrior might not be able to go hunting with the team every time. Every time, there were rules and quotas for who could go and who could not go. Every time, the team leaders would report it to the team leaders, and then the team leaders would make the final decision. If they could not pass the team leaders' final review, then they should just stay at home!
What? Almost out of food?
Even if there is no food, you better stay at home and starve! If you don't starve, you don't learn from your mistakes!
As the team leader, Ta already knew that the results of his hunting group were not as good as those of the other hunting group. Naturally, he would not allow anyone to be a hindrance and a joke!
This year's hunting group, Ta made an example of Hoodlum and his father. With Hoodlum as an example, the new warriors would be more obedient this time.
As they walked down the Path of Glory, the crowds on both sides were very excited, especially those women who had not yet awakened, but whose husbands and children were with the hunting group. They were shouting as if their lives depended on it.
Shao Xuan looked over there and thought that those women were probably competing with each other to see who had the loudest voice. They were shouting and shouting, and even started fighting. They had fully inherited the tribe's tradition of being barbaric and valiant, and solving any conflict by force.
When they got close to the mountain foot area, Shao Xuan also saw Old Ke, who was riding a wolf. He waved to him, and then left with the hunting group.
With the experience from last time, it was not difficult for them to deal with it. After they got off the Path of Glory, they began to speed up. The farther they were from the tribe's residential area, the faster they ran. But no one was left behind. Obviously, the training of those new warriors since their awakening was not in vain.
After they got out of the tribe's patrol area, Ta signaled everyone to stop before they entered the forest, and each group could do a little rest.
Shao Xuan was still thinking about what he should do later, but after listening to Ta for a while, he realized that he had nothing to do at all. Everyone else had been assigned tasks, and when the advance group entered the forest, they had already arranged who would be in charge of which direction. Shao Xuan only had one thing to do, and that was to stay by Ta's side.
Shao Xuan accepted that he was not as strong as others. When the others in the hunting group laughed at him for "needing protection", Shao Xuan just glanced at them and did not refute.
Tuo kicked those who were laughing. The team leader went to talk with the team leaders of other hunting groups, so he did not pay attention to them. These guys in the hunting group became bold again, and if he did not stop them, they would go even further.
"Don't mind them. With your ability, maybe you can surpass them in ten years." Tuo comforted him.
"It's okay." Shao Xuan did not look at those who were still laughing, but turned to ask Tuo, "Will the advance group hunt more ferocious beasts?"
Tuo heard this and paused, then said meaningfully, "Who told you that we must hunt wild beasts and ferocious beasts?"
