Chapter 356
C356 – Strange Old Man
Posted on May 4, 2019 by AzureOrchid92
After leaving the Macca tribe, Shao Xuan also saw other tribes who were out, but he did not join them. Those people were more guarded against Shao Xuan, presumably because they were carrying some goods which they were worried that Shao Xuan would steal.
Shao Xuan has experience traveling. He knew that in the middle of an encounter with strangers, the team would choose to avoid, so he did not go up to them. He stopped at a distance of twenty meters to ask them.
The other side saw Shao Xuan did not come close, so they reluctantly answered his two questions, but then hurried away.
Shao Xuan just asked about the geographical structure of the surrounding area, but the other side’s answer was too brief. Shao Xuan could only relate it to the information he got from the Macca tribe to speculate of the place he should go to.
Here, there were tribes that were also under the jurisdiction of slave owners, but tribesmen and slave owners did not have much contradictory relations. Not like on the other side of the sea where there was always conflict. It was even common for many tribesmen to often trade in the cities under the jurisdiction of the slave owners. The Macca tribe, for example, often has a traveling team to the nearest city, exchanging things for clothes, copper weapons and so on.
Shao Xuan, however, had no intention of going around the slave owners’ turf. What he most wanted to know now was whether the other half of the Flaming Horns tribe was here or not.
If those people’s preferences have not changed, they would probably be more inclined to reside in the forest area, a place where there were especially many fierce beasts. If they went to a place with a lot of people, the animals and beasts would naturally become less, so Shao Xuan planned to go to the mountains where there were fewer people to try his luck.
After asking about the surrounding land structure, Shao Xuan used rope divination once again to determine the position and went to that area. He just got a rough direction, and did not know the exact distance, so he only went straight.
(ﾉ_-;)… I forgot to upload again. Sorry. Came home late last night and had to leave early this morning. But maybe I should just move the upload to Saturdays. I’ll think about it…
