Chapter 532
Disbelief
Upon hearing the name, even the two shamans couldn’t stay calm, needless to mention Zheng Luo, who was standing right in front of Robber Seven.
When Robber Seven mentioned it, Zheng Luo couldn’t even hide the shock and excitement from his eyes.
Meanwhile, the one who was talking was no less surprised.
Robber Seven expected them to have a confused expression rather than a surprised look. But it seemed as if they already knew about this.
Didn’t they say that besides the people in Rock Hill City, no one else knew about this?
Even those slave masters who had been arrogant for many years didn’t know about it. Besides the Shi Family from Rock Hill City, nobody else did. Not even the tribes outside the desert.
How did the Flaming Horns find out about this?
There could only be one way for Rock Hill City to know about the green-faced fanged beast. This information had been passed down from generation to generation from those who knew about it thousands of years ago. Therefore, those who could draw out this picture were people from thousands of years ago. With this, it was enough to prove that Robber Seven was trustworthy.
Both Ao and Zheng Luo understood it at this point. Years ago, if they were put in the same situation as Robber Seven, they probably would’ve drawn a similar drawing, or even worse. It was because Shao Xuan taught them all types of drawing skills later on that helped them improve. But because they had improved, they looked down on other paintings.
When they were suddenly presented with such a simple drawing, they couldn’t take it and had high expectations. That’s why they were so disappointed when they saw Robber Seven’s final drawing.
As they calmed down and took a closer look at Robber Seven’s drawing, they noticed that the creature looked like a deer or maybe a goat. So this was the green-faced fanged beast.
Ao dismissively took a glance at the painting and said to Robber Seven, “Tell us more about what you know. Your painting is not telling us much.”
The robber’s face was already swollen, but now his eyes glared angrily from his overwhelming anger.
How dare you insult my drawing!
However, he had to keep his head down because he was still being held captive, and he still hoped for them to fulfill their promise and release him. All he could do now was to take a deep breath, calm down his emotions, and tell them whatever he knew.
However, Shao Xuan and the others already knew about everything Robber Seven told them. The green-faced fanged beast was small in size, with a green face and thick skin. It had hooves but no horns, and its sharp fangs grew upward. It had an aggressive nature, and was herbivorous. There was nothing more to know about it.
“That’s all you know?” Ao looked in the robber’s direction.
“That’s all.” Sensing the murderous vibe rising in the air, he knew they were unsatisfied and quickly added, “The people who told us about it really only said this much, but they told us one more thing. If you really encountered the green-faced fanged beast, you would naturally be sure.”
“Was it the Shi family of Rock Hill City who showed you this drawing?” Shao Xuan asked.
“No.” It was clear that Robber Seven didn’t want to talk about this issue. This was a secret amongst the robbers. Even a timid thief had his principles. Some things could be revealed but some things had to be kept secret even under death threats.
“What has Rock Hill City promised you?” Shao Xuan asked again.
“As long as we found the green-faced fanged beast, we could bring it back to them in exchange for anything we want.” This information could still be told.
“It seems, you robbers have kept a close connection with Rock Hill City, otherwise it would be impossible to dispatch so many of you at once.” Shao Xuan said.
Robber Seven was silent again.
After another round of questioning, the few people from the Flaming Horn tribe reluctantly believed his words, and let him go as they had promised. They covered his eyes, and released him when they were outside the forest.
They thought that he couldn’t walk anymore after such injuries, but as soon as he landed, he escaped at the speed of a bird and disappeared in front of them.
“I told you he was faking it!” Ao remarked angrily. “Shao Xuan!”
“What?”
“Next time we see him, we beat him to death!”
“Alright.”
