Chapter 381 - Accurate
The forest was dense, trees were tall and majestic. It would take three people hugging the trunk to fully circle it at the crown, while the trunk closest to the ground would take more than ten people.
Roots twisted as if an ancient beast had clenched its claws upon the ground. Some places even felt like small hills but the hunters paid them no mind.
A row of silhouettes trekked deeper into the forest. Once inside, they parted different ways, breaking off into small groups. This was not technically a group hunt so the groups were smaller.
Shao Xuan was with some of the younger warriors, there were about twenty of them in the same group. Tao Zheng and Zhui were here, this group was led by Wu Zhan. In terms of ranking, Shao Xuan should have been the leader but since it was his first time and he was not familiar with all the faces here, he did not accept the position.
Everyone worked well together on the team. Other than being a little stiff in the beginning due to Shao Xuan’s presence, after some time, they were a lot more comfortable and all returned to normal.
There was no speech, just a gesture and a look was enough. They worked seamlessly.
Tao Zheng was already given repeated reminders to take care of Shao Xuan by the chief, the leader of the hunting party and his father and a few other uncles. Although Shao Xuan was capable, plus he was the Elder, he might not be used to the fast rhythm of their hunting style. That was why as they approached their hunting spot, Tao Zheng wondered if he should stop to explain to Shao Xuan.
