Chapter 391 - Eye-Catching
xSome people around also noticed the big man approaching. The people who were pushed away wanted to scold this man, but as soon as they saw him, they immediately swallowed their words.
Most of the people present here knew who this man was. He was a famous wanderer, known as Black Bear. With his appearance, it was a very appropriate name, especially him in a thick brown animal leather, combined with his stocky figure. He really was like a black bear.
The surrounding crowd was pushed back as the Black Bear stepped forward with a steady pace towards Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan did not notice Black Bear and the crowd’s movements, his attention at this time had always been focused on the stone in his hand. He knew that there were already some people crowded around him, and that there were more than he had expected.
Originally, Shao Xuan only wanted to see if he could use his stone carving to attract a few people to check the animal skins. Even if nobody was attracted, after carving the stone well, he could place it here to advertise. There would always be curious people. After all, there was no one else doing the same.
Shao Xuan’s stone carving technique was polished from grinding his tools often. When Old Ke taught him, the requirements were quite strict. His mistakes in subtle places would be pointed out to Shao Xuan, then he’d continue to polish it, to correct it, until there were no more mistakes to be seen.
Since the effect of him trying to attract the crowd’s attention was better than he thought, this had to be taken more seriously. The approximate outline had been formed, so Shao Xuan replaced the stone hammer with a knife and continued.
There were not many animal skins left, so Shao Xuan stopped his carving. Seeing that the Flaming Horns did not have much stuff to sell anymore, he decided it was time to get his own stones out. For this reason, he had asked for help to watch over it yesterday so that these stones could shine all day under the sun. Now, when they were placed in a slightly darker place, you can see the obvious light on the stones.
These days, more and more tribesmen had come to Anba City, dominating the place with their yelling and quarrelling voices, all fighting to outshout each other. From time to time, you’d see people injured from actual fights.
Shao Xuan would not shout to join these voices. Instead, he made a wooden card with words written in bright plant pigments—”A unique glowing stone that will absorb sunlight—Water Sun Stone.”
The crystal of the Drumming tribe produced from the light of the moon was called the Water Moon Stone. Therefore, Shao Xuan changed moon to sun with this stone that absorbs sunlight.
The wooden signboard was propped up with a long pole inserted on the ground. Shao Xuan did not have to yell to wait for people to come to his area. The wooden sign Shao Xuan made could turn to let people see it in all directions so everyone could see the words on the wooden board.
New things could always attract attention. Just now, when the other tribes were finally relaxed that the Flaming Horns tribe were almost out of animal skins, nobody expected that people would flock around them again in such a short time.
This is impossible! It’s just a sign, what’s so eye-catching about it?!
