Chapter 176
Chapter 176 – Thousand Masks
Translated by Jon and Joycelyn
On top of a branch stood a man wearing hairless animal hide. The process of removing hair required meticulous handling. The green stripes on the hide resembled that of the trees in the forest, as dark and light green colors intertwined. If used in the forest, it would be extremely difficult to spot.
This type of attire wasn’t too uncommon. When the weather warmed up, Shao Xuan found many people wearing these clothes. Rather, the more peculiar aspect of the man was the mask he was wearing.
At first glance, it looked like he had purposely put on a flower-patterned mask. But actually, this mask was a special transformation of a part of their facial bones. The patterns on the mask too were actually a totem pattern induced by their totem’s power.
A murderous aura drifted out, which startled the nearby birds pecking at the rotting meat, making them fly away.
The number of birds camping around the bodies wasn’t small, and when they all flew away, it resembled a black curtain obscuring the corpses.
Taking a deep breath and holding a stone dagger in his hand, Yu subconsciously pointed the tip towards the man’s direction, not knowing when the other side was going to pop out.
“Tch, why did they even dare to provoke the people of the Thousand Masks tribe?”
“Yeah, they were clearly looking to die. When we usually bump into people from big tribes, we won’t even dare to offend them, even if they are a child.”
The thieves had probably thought they were sneaky enough; they had not wanted to bring such disaster to their tribe. Or it was maybe that these guys had thought of the consequences, but greed had made them risk their lives.
Listening to the heated discussion, Shao Xuan also had a different experience. For powerful tribes, even children who did not have any fighting ability, would never be offended outside. Today’s incident did not happen very often, and most of the people had the same thoughts as the travel team members.
That was just how influential a big tribe was. Only hearing the name or seeing the totem pattern made people fearful.
