Chapter 551 - To Each Their Own
Shao Xuan’s words sent the tribespeople into a frenzy. They had travelled far to this dangerous land just to catch the green-face fang beast.
They were jealous when they saw the Flaming Horn tribespeople catching one yesterday. Now, they had the chance to get one themselves.
The crowd carefully listened. They could hear shouts and the occasional roar which wasn’t out of the norm here. Nothing indicated that the beasts were coming.
“The sounds of the wind, that violent-sounding wind. That is the roar of the beast,” explained Shao Xuan.
“No wonder. I was wondering why the wind was so loud but the trees weren’t moving,” said someone from the Mang tribe.
“If there are many, we don’t need to focus in just one direction,” Gu Su from the Eight Limbs tribe.
The air exhaled out of the tied up beast had vibrated the air around it with an odd frequency. It howled. Steam coming out from its nostrils had a higher temperature than boiling water. Although Shao Xuan and Gu La had backed off, they could still feel the heat coming from it.
After tying it up, Shao Xuan took out some needles filled with poison. He got the poison from a tree in the forest. He used one of the needles to inject it into the beast.
The poison could cause some larger animals to faint and even cause death for some less poison-resilient animals. Shao Xuan wasn’t sure whether the poison would work on the green face fang beast, he didn’t try it on the previous beast they got.
After three injections, the struggling from the beast had significantly subdued. Its breathing rate was much slower too.
“Three to five injections, no more,” said Shao Xuan.
Soon after, Shao Xuan caught another one that dropped into a trap they had laid out. The beasts were much easier to catch when they were in the traps. Their speed was no use then and the tribespeople could easily tie them up and inject the poison.
