Chronicles of Primordial Wars Chapter 276 – Taking One Step Forward

Shao Xuan didn’t know that Chacha had already ‘abused’ the two covert birds of the Feather tribe almost to death, and now he was thinking about who should he fight with. He didn’t know much about people from foreign tribes. If he chose a weak one, they would definitely think he was insufficiently capable of winning an overmatch. However, who was the one in the traveling team meanwhile strong enough?

After thinking about it for a while, Shao Xuan smiled again.

Since it was so difficult to decide, why he had to choose one by himself? It was a mere waste of time standing here and pondering over the target. Why not ask all of them, and the ones who wanted to battle would definitely take one step forward. Therefore, what Shao Xuan had to do is just to wait for a fight.

At this time, the foreign tribes were staying at the resting-place arranged for them. Their range of activities in the Flaming Horn tribe was limited after all. So after two days, they felt somewhat boring and just chatted in the house. Then, when they were having fun talking, Shao Xuan came.

Showing his purpose in coming, those young people were excited. Two days after coming to the Flaming Horn tribe, they had been bored. Fun things rarely happened, and they surely won’t miss it. Not all of them were qualified to join the traveling team. Some were not strong enough, but it didn’t keep them from being a looker-on.

The stir here was naturally known by Huang Ye’s group, and they cannot attend to figuring out whether the two birds were shot and eaten privately by the Flaming Horn or were captured by the eagle. The three people came outside the house, looking at Shao Xuan surrounded by people who were eager to try.

“You’ve decided?” asked Huang Ye, quite surprisingly, “Who are you going to challenge to prove your strength?”

“I don’t know who has joined the traveling team, but it doesn’t matter,” said Shao Xuan, glancing at surrounding people, including the young ones and other middle-aged warriors with totems, and then continued, “Among those who have entered that team, who is confident to battle with me?”

Huang Ye was surprised. How could Shao Xuan be so confident? Since Shao Xuan was given some time, they thought he would challenge a person he could defeat after careful investigation. After all, among those who were qualified to enter the traveling team, there were some weaker in strength. But unexpectedly, Shao Xuan took such a way to choose a compet.i.tor.

Shao Xuan’s words also made these energetic young people dissatisfied. They had planned to be lookers-on, but now they were provoked by Shao Xuan.

“I’ll battle with you!”

The first person who took one step forward was a tall, strong man who looked a little older than Shao Xuan. The exposed muscles on his arms bulged and looked very powerful. Judging from his clothes, this person must come from the Eight Limbs tribe.

“How about me?” said another person, turning a stone axe in his hand.

“Although I haven’t joined that team yet, I think I’m among the strong ones.” said the third person.

Then, the fourth, the fifth…

And there were some elders on the spot who also wanted to challenge Shao Xuan. But feeling themselves bullies if they did so, they didn’t step out of the crowd.

Huang Ye waited for a long time but didn’t see the person whom he expected. He couldn’t help but turn around and look at Qu Ce, only finding him staring at the leaves on a tree. It seemed that the leaves were so beautiful that Qu Ce immersed himself in them.

Was there something special on a tree with worms?!

Seeing Qu Ce’s reaction to Shao Xuan’s words, Huang Ye was angrier than before. Shouldn’t you take the lead at this time? Did you want to yield the opportunity to others?

Qu Ce still looked at the askew tree beside him, the leaves of which were bitten many holes by worms. It seemed that he wasn’t aware of the present situation at all.

Qiu Gu looked at Xu who stood quietly next to him and also wondered: Was this child not with a hot temper? Usually, he would fight anyone when that person said something he didn’t like, but this time, why could he bear the words and keep silent?

“All right, don’t argue about it. Let me have a try first.” A young man with colorful bird feathers on his head stepped forward.

Gu Zhi smiled with corners of his mouth upward and glimpsed with pride at Huang Ye and Qiu Gu who were depressed.

“Hong Xi, don’t go overboard.” In Gu Zhi’s eyes, the smile is beaming. When speaking, Gu Zhi saw Hong Xi didn’t bring his sword, then he offered his own.

Hongxi didn’t want to pick up the sword at first because he had his own weapon. However, he thought it over and finally took it.

Shao Xuan looked at the person standing not far away. Isn’t it the boy who blocked his way, and joked with the strength of the Flaming Horn tribe yesterday.

“Shao Xuan from the Flaming Horn tribe. “

Since it had been decided that Hong Xi would battle with Shao Xuan, Qu Ce, who was just observing leaves, immediately shifted his attention. Looking at the two people who were ready to battle, he whispered to Xu, “Let’s make a bet. If you lost, how about lending me your white-haired spider for one day.”

Xu touched the white-haired spider under her body gently. Now she could even sit on the white-haired spider that she had been holding in her arms in those days.

“What’s the bet?” asked Xu.

“Let’s make a bet on the result of the battle. I bet that Shao Xuan will win, and you bet Hong Xi. I’ll give you two bamboo rats if I lose.” Qu Ce paused and then said, “the fattest two.”

Xu glanced at him indifferently, “I’ll not bet.”

When Qu Ce and Xu were talking, the battle had already started.

Shao Xuan first moved. Just like a leopard hunting in the mountains, he was quick-moving and punched sharply.

Shao Xuan was indeed fast, but Hong Xi was faster. His body seemed to light up in an instant. Like the twist of the air, Hong Xi could easily avoid Shao Xuan’s fist every time. Hong Xi seemed to want to play with his opponent, only keeping defending.

Looking at Shao Xuan’s fierce attack, Gu Zhi nodded and said, “His style is exactly ‘the Flaming Horn tribe’ style.”

In perspective of strength, the Feather Tribe would definitely be defeated. Even Gu Zhi went into battle in person, he couldn’t bear the intensive and violent offensive of Shao Xuan, it was a weakness in nature. However, as for the speed, the Feather tribe was in a dominant position.

Even the people of the Mang tribe and the Eight Limbs tribe had to acknowledge that.

When Gu Zhi and Qiu Gu were evaluating them, Qu Ce and Xu looked at each other, falling in silent. They also thought that Shao Xuan’s attacking way was indeed in line with what the ancestors described, full of fierce violence. But the more they knew, the more doubtful they were. Yes, it was true that the people of the Flaming Horn tribe did have an absolute advantage in strength, but in terms of speed, they might not lose!

As expected, no sooner had Gu Zhi finished his comment, than the situation over there changed again.

Shao Xuan stopped his offensive, didn’t get as tired as everyone else thought before, instead, he loosened up his hands and feet.

“Warm-up was done, attention.”

After the words finished, Shao Xuan moved again, the totem covered till his elbow, and then the Power of Totem reached to the limit. If Shao Xuan’s figure was like a leopard in the forest, then now it’s more like a lightning, whose speed was directly increased by more than double. The stir of his footsteps was small, and every time when he was seen, his soles had risen to the sky, only leaving the scattered dust.

Fixed his eyes, Hong Xi’s teasing mind disappeared. In the face of such a fast and fierce attack, he intended to avoid it temporarily and looked for an opportunity to fight back later. However, he never thought that Shao Xuan also had an action while he decided to avoid it.

Shao Xuan’s soles turned heavily on the ground, which collapsed because of the strong force, leaving a pit on the ground. Shao Xuan turned his direction abruptly with the force. His galloping movement, like a fast arrow from a strong bow, rubbed against the air and made a sharp sound. Then Shao Xuan appeared in front of Hong Xi in an instant.

Shao Xuan’s arm, like a hurled spear, was thrown straight at Hong Xi.

Couldn’t avoid it!

Facing the unexpected situation, Hong Xi had almost no time to defend himself but stopped Shao Xuan’s fist with his sword body. If he could not block the punch, all his bones would probably be broken.

Shao Xuan’s fist hit on the sword with a dull thud.

The sword managed to block the incoming fist, but Hong Xi’s footsteps were disrupted.

An experienced hunter would have developed a long-term habit, that was, not allowing his prey a breathing spell.

The sounds of cracking didn’t stop. This time, Shao Xuan didn’t attack Hong Xi from the front. Instead, he jumped and threw his fist from the top after he caught up with Hong Xi.

Bang!

Blocking the punch with the sword once again, Hong Xi felt the powerful force transmitted through the sword and his body sank. Regardless of the sharp pain in his arm, Hong Xi thought: it’s all over.

The ground here was not as solid as it was elsewhere. There was more earth than rock. Therefore, under the great pressure, Hong Xi’s ankles sank into the soil. Hong Xi wanted to jump out, but before he took action, another punch followed.

All people around only heard a series of bangs that were as dense as a rainstorm. Under the punches, Hong Xi, like a hammered nail, sank a little every time Shao Xuan attacked.
