Chapter 158
Chapter 158 – Battle
Translated by Joycelyn
Ping and Chen Jia stood nervously by the bank, waiting.
At this time, the number of Water Moonstones that their houses produce will affect how well off or poor they will be the next day. If they produced a lot of Water Moonstones, each big and shiny, their houses will be hitting it rich. If they brought these out during the trade period, they can exchange for many things; but if the stones that they produced are not many, and small as well, then there will be hardship.
Whether they will be rich or poor, will all depend on this canal that flowed through their houses. This idea felt quite novel for Shao Xuan.
Ping was already nervous and started praying, Chen Jia was also biting on his fingers. He always loved biting his fingers whenever he got nervous.
The turbid river was getting clearer, after not even 10 minutes had passed, the river was already half transparent. The light spreading out from under the river was even more eye catching than the moon in the sky.
The muddy river gradually became clearer, and at the bottom of the river, something shining could be seen. Those were the Water Moonstones.
A few of them were talking, while someone who went to inquire about the situation at the water moon canal came over.
“Fu Shi, your family struck it rich this year! Your house’s area was the brightest!” Someone came, out of breath, and said.
“Ah Ha!” Fu Shi got excited and couldn’t help but jump a few rounds on the spot. That’s great! En, when it’s time for trading, I will trade for some good stuff, get a few beautiful clothings and gift them to Ping, trade for some good quality stone weapons for Chen Jia…..
A few others were like Fu Shi, their houses although did not gain as much as Fu Shi’s this year, but their harvests were not too little. When it’s time to go out to trade, what should they exchange for?
While thinking, Fu Shi’s face tensed up, the muscles under his skin bulged up, making his already strong body even more sturdy. The black lines of his scale-like totem patterns grew all over his body. Both his legs burst out a tremendous force, disappearing from where he was, in one step chasing after the silhouette that was rushing away from here.
Fu Shi suddenly held his stout arm covered with totem patterns up high, every muscle was filled with power, and the skin, under the expansion of the muscles, became tighter. His fingers clenched into a fist and punched towards the silhouette. Like a shot of a bullet landing onto the silhouette’s body.
Bang!
The originally fleeing silhouette was pounded hard into the ground.
The first punch landed, now came the second punch.
Ka!
Fu Shi’s punch directly smashed the opponent’s brain.
The guy lying on the ground had totems tattoos different from the Drumming tribe’s. Due to his death, the tattoos swiftly disappeared.
The sound of Fu Shi’s breathing was not the usual wheezing sound, but a burst of coarse and loud grunts. Dense black markings gradually extended around the tip of his pupils.
Cold eyes flashed past, Fu Shi had just killed one person, but he wasn’t stopping at that. Both his legs’ muscles expanded instantaneously, his body that was just now standing upright was now low on the ground on all fours. Both his palms and feets vigorously pushed against the ground, launching himself towards another silhouette. The surrounding wet mud splashed from the impact of his sudden burst.
Competing with a crocodile by running is okay, but competing with instantaneous movements, that is difficult.
Crocodiles advantage is not with its speed, but with its response and its explosive force. You might be able to run past them, but at the time you start running, whether they will give you the chance to run first is the point. Or maybe even before you run, they may have already bitten you.
The Drumming tribe’s members have many similar traits to crocodiles. Their strength and speed may not be that great, but their explosive outbreak always overwhelms the opponents.
Yet another silhouette was clamped, the next moment, he was twisted off from the middle.
The two guys were too fast just now, therefore Fu Shi did not have enough time to inform the rest while dealing with the two of them. He took advantage of this gap to unleash a roar like that of an ancient beast from his throat.
The roar was like a clashing sword, passing over the damp area, through the woods, splitting the quiet night.
The moon illuminated the sky the brightest this time of year. Nevertheless, under the moonlight, the battle had started.
