Chapter 521
The Robbers’ Secret
Even though the forest in front was a dense one, it still differed from Fearsome Beast Forest.
There were many trees here but they were not huge ancient ones. There were few trees that exceeded a hundred years old. There also wasn’t much human activity here. At most, it was the occasional traders passing through the forest.
There were no beasts here, only some smaller wild animals were active in this area.
As the person rushed into the forest, he started searching for the perfect hiding spot. His running route became irregular and unpredictable, weaving around the forest.
With his vision blocked by the leaves, Shao Xuan couldn’t see the figure of the person he was pursuing. He could only rely on the sounds of wind passing through leaves and tree branches cracking.
Shao Xuan soon realised the intruder was definitely a master from the way they moved. He could step around the forest with minimal sound, it started to seem apparent that he was purposely making sounds to throw him off.
Shao Xuan tried to sense the intruder’s fire seed but as he pursued the fire seed seemed to disappear.
He thought that these ‘Robbers’ had a different aura but now it could confirm that it was true.
He knew long ago that ‘Robbers’ were a special tribe. Their members were fairly independent unlike the other tribes that stayed together most of the time. No one knew their exact location.
Many hated them to their core and spent enormous effort to search for them, especially those that lost something precious. They called for the extermination of the ‘Robbers’ fire seed, to remove them from the surface of the world.
However, no one came close to succeeding all these while.
Of course, they wouldn’t succeed, the ‘Robbers’ original fire seed was long gone!
Shao Xuan had thought the Flaming Horn tribe was the first tribe to merge the fire seed but it looked like that was not the case!
This explained why the ‘Robbers’ were so secretive. No one knew that they had no need to gather around their original fire seed as they had already merged with their fire seed. They only gathered when necessary which was just another way of organisation.
No wonder no one could find their tribe.
“What did you steal from Flaming Horn?” asked Shao Xuan.
“Nothing! We hadn’t done anything when we got caught,” said Robber Eleven. He was telling the truth and did feel bummed out that he was noticed so quickly.
“Other than you two are there any other intruders?” asked Shao Xuan.
“I don’t know. We don’t know about each other’s plans. We do our own thing.” said Robber Eleven.
“Do you really not know? He went to the house where you buried something,” said Shao Xuan.
Robber Eleven and Robber Twelve facial expressions immediately changed. How did he find out they buried something? Did the Flaming Horn tribe discover the thing already?
“It’s Robber Seven.” The two felt no need to hide. They only told Robber Seven about the hiding spot. It was most likely Robber Seven that went there.
Seven? Their rank was higher than these two then. No wonder their reactions were so quick.
“Where did you steal the thing you buried from?” asked Shao Xuan.
The two didn’t speak but exchanged some glances.
“If you are honest, I’ll let you go.”
“Really?” The two looked at Shao Xuan, trying to see the truth in his words.
“Really.”
