Chapter 63
Chapter 63 – Sword Cleansing Ritual
Translated by Sunyancai
After they arrived at the end of the Path of Glory, all the warriors of the hunting team put down their game aside, for they had a ceremony to attend before they could call it a successful conclusion of the hunting mission.
The Shaman asked the bearers to place the wooden palanquin down inside the fire pit. Since there was only a small ball of flame in the fire pit, there was enough space for the palanquin.
Those legs of the four bearers almost gave out when they finally put down the palanquin. They were neither afraid nor nervous. In fact, they were too excited. From their perspectives, it was a great honor, and serving as the ancestors bearer was an experience that they could share with their sons, and grandsons in the future.
After carefully laying down the palanquin in the fire pit, those four warriors left, while the Shaman came in to prostrate himself in front of the ancestors.
Shao Xuan had no idea about the status of the ancestors, but judging from the Shaman’s behavior, he guessed that the one with the bone ornament was the most important person among those four. The Shaman made a careful salute towards him especially.
After the salute, the Shaman left the fire pit, for he still needed to host the Sword Cleansing ritual for the warriors that had just returned from the hunting mission.
When he managed to stand still, Shao Xuan breathed heavily. He paid no attention to his broken arm, anyways it was not a severe wound. He fixed his eyes on his opponent – Keke.
Although Keke had no killing intent, and earlier he just went through the Sword Cleansing ritual. But due to his long hunting career, his every act and every move was filled with a ferocious air.
“Good!” Seeing that Shao Xuan could still keep standing there after he suffered so many strikes yet showed no painful expression, Keke was pretty satisfied. Shao Xuan didn’t even seem to care about his broken arm.
However, at the voice of “good”, Keke was kicked down.
It was Tuo that kicked down Keke, he was checking on the situation under the main leader’s command. However, the first scene he saw was Keke breaking that kid’s arm.
What the hell, Keke!
The main leader asked you to test him, and that was how you test him?
You are at least an adult warrior, with much higher strength than him, why did you bully such a kid by attacking him that way?! To prove that you were good? Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?! The Shaman and the Chief would punish us hard if they knew!
Tuo was furious and he stepped on Keke again, seeing that he was about to get up.
“You are such a tactless moron!”
Tuo retrieved his foot from Keke’s back and looked at Shao Xuan with a smile, “He did not mean harm.” Tuo was trying to seem nice.
Shao Xuan looked at his arm which had just cracked and looked up at Tuo again, poker-faced, as if saying: What, he did not mean harm, but he broke my arm?
Tuo had cursed Keke in his heart for a thousand times, but on his face, it was still a smile full of apologies. He searched his animal skin bag, and pulled out a bag of herbs wrapped in tree leaves, “These are fine herbs. Your arm will be okay in a few days if you drink it.”
Shao Xuan still stared at Tuo, poker-faced. When Tuo was feeling creepy from the stare, Shao Xuan looked down at his own animal skin bag.
Tuo immediately knew what Shao Xuan was suggesting. He silently blamed himself for being so careless. Keke had just broken his arm, so how could he receive the herbs from Tuo?
Placing the herbs inside Shao Xuan’s animal skin bag, Tuo smiled at Shao Xuan regretfully again, “He’s a moron who knows nothing. Please, kindly forgive him, okay? Given that we are in the same hunting team, haha.”
Fuck your sister! Shao Xuan thought as he continued staring.
Tuo was too embarrassed to face Shao Xuan’s stare, so he went towards Keke, and dragged him away.
Shao Xuan looked at their backs, and wondered why they acted the way they did…
