Chapter 385 - It's Him!
Every year, as winter approached, the tribe would hunt more frequently. If it weren’t for limitations in human labour and they could not bring more things, they would’ve stayed longer.
That was because they would prepare animal hides to be sold to the slave masters and exchange for other things. When the weather turned cold, the demand for animal hide would greatly increase. Their slaves would prepare a lot of goods to be exchanged for animal hide.
Those with good quality fur can be twice the regular price.
Things that could not be produced in the village like grains and bronzeware were exchanged this way. The households that were better off would buy some rare products sometimes too.
All these relied on the prey brought back from their hunts.
Last night, before sleep, Shao Xuan heard many people discussing what they needed to get for the trade. They asked Shao Xuan too but he hadn’t participated in a trade before so all he could do was wait and see.
On the second day, before the sun was up, the small teams had already left to hunt.
At the fork shaped like a “Y”, the people of Taihe tribe were transporting some prey too. When they heard the Flaming Horn’s singing, the leader of the hunting party was annoyed. “Them again?!”
His mood was ruined!
“Leader… They…”
“Ignore them!” The leader sulked. “We’ll walk and pretend they don’t exist!”
However, their presence was too strong, you couldn’t just ignore them.
When the Flaming Horn people arrived at the fork and were about to get on the shared path, both parties met.
Duo Kang eyed the Taihe tribe’s prey and then snickered.
Taihe’s leader was furious. “What, are you looking down on us?”
“Hey, not at all! Really, I wouldn’t!” Duo Kang said and shouted to the back. “Duo Li, hurry! It’s just a small animal, why are you so slow?!”
The people at the back did not speak, it was as if everyone shared an inside joke. Just as he spoke, Shao Xuan noticed everyone was visibly excited. Soon, Duo Li and the rest arrived in the front, carrying the bone beast.
When they saw the beast, the Taihe people were speechless. The leader’s face twitched as he turned green.
Shao Xuan was happy too, hurrying forward while carrying his prey.
The Taihe’s hunting leader was about to retort when someone from his team gasped.
“WHAT?!” roared the leader.
A young warrior leapt forward, ignoring the leader. He yelled, pointing at Shao Xuan, “It’s him! That’s the one!”
