Chapter 161
CoPW 161 – Kill
Translated by Joycelyn
It wasn’t very far from Chen Jia’s house to the central area. However, it also couldn’t be considered near. The Drumming tribe had a huge territory, as it was spread along the river. Therefore, the living areas were not packed together like in the Flaming Horns tribe.
Now that most of the tribe’s warriors had already gone to repel the intruders, there were only a few left in the internal area. The ones who were patrolling in search of dangers there may not be able to take everything into account.
Shao Xuan walked along the riverside. The night was not completely dark due to the moonlight, which allowed him to keep an eye on his surroundings. But even so, it was not easy to identify the dangers hiding in the dark.
At the front, Qing Yi was leading the way, his pace not too fast and not too slow. He did not slow down because of the unknown dangers of the night and did not speed up either.
At the riverside, there was a pool of blood. Laying on the water grass, there was a person with not a breath left in him. Judging by his clothing, he was from the Drumming tribe.
When Chen Jia and the rest hurried over to his side, they revealed a face filled with grief, but did not utter a single word. There would be similar incidents happening every year. However, not every year would they suffer such heavy losses.
Bang!
The opponent’s sword did not reach Shao Xuan. Instead, it went into the mud near Shao Xuan’s feet at full force.
The strike was like a miniscule bomb exploding. It slammed down, splashing the muddy water in all directions, just like mud-coloured fireworks.
At the moment, Chen Jia was unable to see what was going on behind the explosion of muddy water. But after it dropped, the battle behind had already ended.
The intruder stood by the muddy waters, hand holding a black bone sword, still maintaining the position of hacking. The scale-like totem pattern vanished and his eyes stared with disbelief at his chest. There was a bloody hole. The red liquid was constantly flowing out, staining the muddy waters.
Shao Xuan was very calm the first time he killed a human. He did not know if it was because his new body had affected his way of thinking or if it was because he had grown accustomed to this world’s cruel rules. Or even maybe because he was naturally cold-blooded.
Shaking off the blood on his tooth sword, Shao Xuan observed his surroundings and saw that somebody was making his way over to him. He did not know if they were Martyr tribe members who broke through or the ones who were sneaking within the tribe.
No matter, this was not a place to stay for long. It was better to send the children off to the chief’s side as soon as possible.
From the sky came a shadow and Shao Xuan’s heart pulsed with happiness. Now, if they could send off these five children, everything else would become easier to handle.
