Chapter 386 - All For You
The Taihe tribe’s leader was stunned and then suddenly realised what ‘that’s him’ meant.
The Pure Fruit!
The young man carrying some prey from the Flaming Horn hunting party was the person who snatched their Pure Fruit!
“Stand right there!” roared the Taihe leader, taking two large strides towards Shao Xuan. He was so angry the veins in his neck were bulging.
When he moved, Duo Kang moved too. With a turn, he stopped in the middle. “What, you want to take our prey?”
Everyone from Flaming Horn stopped, looking at the Taihe people. With one word from Duo Kang, they were ready to drop their prey and fight.
The people from Taihe were silent.
When she saw this, the shamaness sighed in relief. Looks like she had made the right decision.
Wearing the four ornaments, Shao Xuan walked out of her house. He picked out some of his share of meat to make some soup.
He shifted a huge stone wok out of the tribe’s storage. It was used by their ancestors. Sometimes, when the tribe was having a large celebration, they would take this stone wok out to cook for everybody.
One the first day, he cooked near the peak. On the second day, he cooked further down the slope. On the third day, he cooked near the foot of the hill. There was so much meat from the hunt that it was enough for everyone for three days.
As for the pure fruit, after he cut it open, he found about twenty little balls inside.
He took it to Chief Zheng Luo. However, Zheng Luo only accepted half as Shao Xuan’s gift to the tribe. He told Shao Xuan to keep the other half in case anyone needed it in the future.
After all this, Shao Xuan finally returned. He took out the three rocks he collected at the river to study them.
On the table next to the window, Shao Xuan washed and placed them where there was light. He studied them and shaved them with a knife. The hardness was similar to the rock he got from the mute crocodile.
The colour and texture were similar but he still couldn’t determine if they were the Water Moon Stone from the Drumming Tribe.
He might never know.
He heaved a sigh, rolling the rock in his palm as he reminisced the harvest of the Water Moon Stones at the Drumming Tribe. They could transform because of the Flame.
As he was thinking, he had a sudden thought. He cleared all the clutter in his mind and observed the difference in his mind.
The totemic fire in his mind was still there but the ‘outer shell’ was flickering.
The light flickered, and with every flicker, it got brighter. Shao Xuan could feel a thin thread extending out of the fire.
The thread of energy flowed down his shoulder to his palm, where the rock was.
Rustle rustle rustle—-
It sounded like flowing sand, the same rumble he heard at the Drumming Tribe.
