The travel team moved on along the route as planned.
After leaving the regions of the Mang tribe and the Eight Limbs tribe, the travel team walked further for another six days, during which they passed through some small-scale markets or some medium-scale tribes in the central area and exchanged some things.
Shao Xuan marked every place along the way on the map he drew by himself, even the characteristics of every tribe being marked on the map.
As he had to hurry on with the journey, he didn’t exchange too many things, only in traded for some typical tribal items or small light souvenirs.
Certainly, on the way through some desolate mountains and woods, the team also ran into some wild animals and even ferocious beasts. The amount of ferocious beasts was relatively less than regular wild animals. Someone of the travel team pointed to the map and told Shao Xuan the position of most ferocious beasts, which was right in the direction of the old location of the Flaming Horns tribe where Shao Xuan intended to go.
The men over there shouted and then realized Shao Xuan standing by their side.
“Who are you?” One of them asked with suspicion on his face.
“I’m just a passerby. Well, that thing in the sky was my eagle.” Although those men were not in good mood, Shao Xuan saw that they didn’t mean to throw more spears. So he whistled and gestured to the sky.
With that struggling bird in his claws, Chacha circled above and then landed to the ground.
Those men still worried that Chacha would throw down the big bird directly from the sky, but only when nearing the ground did Chacha throw the big bird in front of Shao Xuan and then fly up quickly. He didn’t have a good impression on the man throwing spears at him.
The big bird on the ground only had some claw marks on its body and was a little frightened, not having recovered yet. After a few breaths, it intended to sneak away but was tied up in straw ropes by those men.
“Are you really just a passerby?” The leader of those men asked with a relatively good attitude this time.
“Yes. I was resting here when that big bird showed up.” Shao Xuan answered.
“I’m sorry for what happened just now. I thought that eagle was going to take away the bird we raised.” That man said with a smile. Every eagle in the surrounding region which stole their food, he knew them all, but that eagle he saw just now looked really foreign. Moreover, it was different from a domesticated eagle and a wild eagle. But just now he saw some drawings on the claw of that eagle. Although he didn’t see the drawing clearly, he guessed it should be something like totem tattoos.
Usually, the Lu tribe would not start a feud with others, so they would not offend many tribes, even if they were not familiar with them. And the young man in front, who could raise such a big eagle, the tribe he belonged to should be a relatively large one.
“Lu tribe – Yan Jiu.” That man introduced himself.
“Flaming Horns tribe – Shao Xuan.”
Flaming Horns tribe? Those men looked at each other, seemingly having heard the name for the first time. Could it be that the tribe was far away from here?
“Did you come here with the travel team?” One of them asked.
“Yes. I just left the team not long ago.”
He was really from far away. Those men thought.

Taking a look at the eagle in the sky, Yan Jiu said to Shao Xuan, “Shao Xuan, can you do us one more favor?”
“What is it?”
Yan Jiu told Shao Xuan briefly. So the story was that every once in a while, the Lu tribe would carry the animals they raised out of the tribe and return after exchanging things with the other tribes. But there was an accident early in the morning today: the fence was broken and didn’t get repaired on time; one big bird rushed out of the fencing and then several more ran away in succession.
They sent five teams to search for the birds in five directions, but didn’t find them all till now.
“So I’m wondering if you…can have your eagle give a hand and see if it can find the birds.” Yan Jiu said.
“No problem.” It was nothing difficult, so Shao Xuan called Chacha down to give him some words and then had him fly away.
Those men had been bustling about the whole morning, and had rarely gotten a chance to take a rest. Three of whom sat down on the ground directly, and thinking that if that eagle didn’t find the birds, they would still have to keep on searching.
“Hey, it’s coming back.” One man who fixed his eyes on the sky said excitedly.
In the past, they only saw eagles in the sky taking away their livestock; it was the first time that they had an eagle help them get the escaping livestock back.
This was only just the first bird brought back. About ten minutes later, the second bird was brought back. After that, Chacha didn’t bring back any more big birds.
“There should not be any birds in the surroundings. Let’s go back and see if the others found some.” Yan Jiu advised.
Meanwhile, to thank Shao Xuan, Yan Jiu also invited Shao Xuan. During the chat just now, Shao Xuan had shown great interest in raising those big birds. This also made the Lu tribe proud. They also liked to show their result of raising those birds, hoping that they could trade with people later on.
“Come with us, we have the largest farm in the central area. A lot of people have been trading with us…..”
As Yan Jiu talked with Shao Xuan on the way to the tribe about the breeding of the birds, his tone was carrying a sense of pride.
When they arrived, Shao Xuan was surprised at the scene in front.
They stood on top of a hill, looking down, there were hundreds and thousands of birds. And although they had a big and fierce looking body like the ones before, but they were tame and only herbivores.
In Shao Xuan’s eyes this was just a giant lump of meat!
