Chapter 502
The Cave With The Core Seed
After leaving the village, Shao Xuan saw the few mountains Chacha usually rested on. There were still eagle claw marks on the walls.
When he first returned to the old haunt, Chacha preferred tall places without too many people. It didn’t really interact with Flaming Horn tribesmen anyway, it was different from the several other fearsome beasts. It lived around the mountains near the tribe.
Shao Xuan didn’t see it when he returned. Ao and the rest told him that soon after Chacha sent Tuo and Lei back, it flew to the desert, then went to the Hui tribe and left with several of their eagles.
However, the Hui tribe explained that the great mountain eagles might be heading to Eagle Mountain together. That was why Ao and the rest weren’t too worried. They weren’t very familiar with great mountain eagles but Chacha had been there before. Though they didn’t know what route it was using, they should be safe in a group.
After this year’s winter, an excursion team from the Hui tribe exiting the grasslands came to the Fearsome Beast Forest with news. They said their few eagles had returned to their tribe but they did not see Chacha. They didn’t say much, as if there was something on their minds that they didn’t dare ask. Since Ao was thinking about the fire seed’s abnormal behaviour at the time, he did not question this.
They’d gone to Eagle Mountain but Chacha didn’t return with them. Did Chacha not leave the mountain? Or had Chacha left, just to somewhere else? Shao Xuan didn’t know.
When Shao Xuan asked about it, Ao felt very bad. Indeed, everyone had forgotten about the eagle and didn’t ask about it. The Hui tribesmen did not stay long, leaving soon after passing the message. If he wanted to know more, Shao Xuan had to go to the grasslands and talk to them. Hui tribesmen often interacted with the great mountain eagles. If they could understand that the great mountain eagles had banded together to head to Eagle Mountain, then they must know more too. They must know something about Chacha.
Shao Xuan looked around. Based on the results calculated from the formulae in the ring diagram, he walked over and studied the rocks.
In this spot, all the rocks that were the same distance away from the core seed had irregular patches of metallic substance on their surfaces. This was where the core seed’s influence was most concentrated. They would get their copper from here!
It was magical.
They shifted some metal ore outside, along with several boulders to be brought back to the village.
