Chapter 496
Merging
“That’s…”
Ta walked over unconsciously. Everyone in the tribe also walked forward, standing behind Ta as they stared into the forest.
Many dots of light danced in the dark forest. In the beginning, they thought someone might be carrying torches. Soon, they realised the glow came from the people themselves.
The people were glowing?
There were many people in the forest, they knew this from the footsteps. They would’ve scrambled to get their weapons if they hadn’t sensed the familiar beasts’ footsteps, Ao and their own people’s scents. However, there was still a strong sensation of something foreign yet familiar.
Until they saw the frontmost person’s face…. Ta was shocked. “Ah Xuan?”
At this moment, Shao Xuan and his people had already stepped into the village. The warriors surrounding them also walked forward. Initially, they were worried they might be Wanshi people but this wasn’t true. These people did not feel threatening.
Jiao Wu showed him four fingers.
“Forty?” asked He’er.
Jiao Wu scoffed.
“Four hundred?” He’er was shocked. Four hundred was a lot.
Jiao Wu scoffed again.
“Four… four…” stuttered He’er. This was impossible.
“Hahaha, four thousand! We don’t have time to talk, they’re waiting for us.”
“Wait, four thousand wanderers?” asked He’er.
“Huh? These are people like us! I heard they’re awesome too.” Jiao Wu was not satisfied with this. INce these people rested, he must spar with them to check out their strengths.
He’er watched, stunned as the brothers left. He slapped his head and then ran home.
Although he didn’t understand, it seemed like something major happened. And no one looked like they were preparing for war.
Leave? I would never!
Of course he had to live under their protection if he could! Who else would treat him to such a good life? As a wanderer, this was a rare opportunity. He’er thought life here was amazing. Those people can leave if they feel uncomfortable, he’d never leave.
The flames in the fire pit roared through the night, warriors chatted and laughed around the fire.
Shao Xuan was finally back. Old Ke cooked a huge pot of soup for him. After a feast, Shao Xuan took a shower and slept soundly through the night. He was more tired than the rest, since he had expended more energy wielding the bone ornaments. He had recovered a little but then exhausted himself unlocking Sapphire’s lock. He was exhausted, the journey had been long.
Shao Xuan slept for two days straight. He didn’t wake once, nor did anyone wake him up.
On the third day, when he woke there were already many new houses in the tribe. Some were made of bricks, some out of wood. They couldn’t make more bricks in time so a portion of people had to live in wooden houses first.
