Chapter 59
Chapter 59 – Getting out of the mountain
Translated by Sunyancai
Surely the man in the middle was one of the ancestors in the tribe, and it was highly likely that he was one of the members of the first batch of warriors who contributed in establishing the hunting route. This skeleton was so strong that it might even be stronger than the Chief Ao. However, Shao Xuan had not heard about him from Lang Ga.
Shao Xuan wasn’t sure who the other three skeletons were. Perhaps they were also part of the first batch of warriors like the one in the middle, or they might also be from a later generation and got lost in the tunnels.
Whether it was right or wrong, Shao Xuan felt a little baffled seeing the four skeletons here.
So, the direction that the totem led, the so-called intuition, all meant here?
Why did he feel that the ancestors were entrapping their descendants?
The warrior in the middle should be the first skeleton here, while the other three could be with him, or just followed their intuition and came here.
He tossed all the small pieces of stoneware inside his animal skin bag, and tied all the big pieces together with a leather rope he carried with him. Those were fine stones, and it would be a big waste just to leave them in here.
As for the four skeletons…no, those four mummies. Shao Xuan used that long antenna of that insect to tie them together.
“I sincerely apologize for this discourtesy from the bottom of my heart!” Shao Xuan whispered.
After he finished doing all that, he carried all the things and the ancestors on his back.
Well, that was heavy!
Unexpectedly, even though the ancestors were all mummified, they were still heavier than stones.
With those four mummies on his back, and all stoneware at hand, Shao Xuan felt that he was like a moving light bulb. The light it created drove away all creatures, it certainly helped Shao Xuan to avoid those insects and worms.
Before Shao Xuan got near to the swarm of small worms, the worms hurriedly diverged and ran away, as if they had encountered something disgusting. Shao Xuan did not even have to whip them away.
Still, he followed his intuition. This time, the intuition was indicating a different way. Not only that, Shao Xuan felt that he was walking through other tunnels, instead of heading to the mountain side.
There was no creature that dared to block his way. Also, those eyeless spiders that he met half way, all fled before Shao Xuan approached them.
Wow, why couldn’t the ancestors manage to find a way out with such a treasure at hand?
So, were they still just lost in the end? And since they could neither defeat the king stone worm, nor split the mountain directly, they were trapped and died inside.
Shao Xuan took two breaks during the journey, and used the breaks to eat some of the meat jerky he had brought. It was quite tiring and he needed to refuel the energy before continuing on the march.
He did not know for how long he had been walking. It could’ve been a few hours or dozens of hours. Shao Xuan’s head was totally messed up, for in here it was impossible for him to calculate the time attentively. The only thing he could do now was follow his intuition.
Finally, Shao Xuan smelled the air of the forest.
After spending so much time in a place filled with the smell of stones, Shao Xuan was delirious with joy because of the fresh air
There’s wind.
The wind came from the path ahead!
Shao Xuan sped up and switched his sight to the normal view. He found that light spot!
It was the light from the outside!
He was getting out of the mountain!
He managed to get out of the mountain!
However, since totemic power could really lead the way, why were the ancestors of the tribe ultimately trapped to death inside the mountain? and could only worship at the direction of the tribe? Even if he ignored the ancestors, why couldn’t the warriors in the tribe now walk into the mountain if they weren’t familiar with the paths yet?
Shao Xuan had no answer for that, and probably the only thing he could think of about his difference with others, was the special ability that he had…
