After this search, the Wan Shi tribe temporarily did not enter the mountain forest. But they did put guards outside the Ferocious Beasts Mountain Forest. They would pay attention to anyone not of the Wan Shi tribe that entered the mountain forest. Until they were properly prepared, they would not send anyone in there for now.
This was the conclusion the Wan Shi tribe shaman and chief reached after discussing together. They did not like seeing influences that could be threatening to them in the Ferocious Beasts Mountain Forest, but having a fearing mindset, they thought that as long as that side did not pose too big of a threat to their tribe, they could ignore it.
Perhaps, when things are more stable, they will again investigate it.
While the Wan Shi tribe people discussed the Ferocious Beasts Mountain Forest, wounded, Shao Xuan arrived at the old haunt and moved towards the fire pit.
However, after two seconds, Shao Xuan looked in a direction.
“Will you come out yourself or do I have drag you out?”
As Shao Xuan’s voice fell, a head appeared from behind some ruins covered with moss and plants.
“I.... I’ll come out myself.”
It was a slender young man, looking somewhat distressed. His hide clothes had many tears and cuts, some probably caused by swords, and was also covered in thin branches.
That person dreadingly looked at the sword in Shao Xuan’s hand and forced out a smile.
“I do not have any evil intentions.... I also helped you solve eight Wan Shi tribe people!”
“I only saw four.” Shao Xuan stared at the stranger. He really did not seem to be malicious.
Although he only killed those few severely wounded people and exaggerated a bit, his words weren’t completely wrong. But he still had to be vigilant, currently he was very exhausted and the opposite party was a stranger who he didn’t know anything about. It’s better to be careful.
That person was shocked, he did not think that while Shao Xuan was killing the Wan Shi tribe people, he actually also noted how many people he killed. Although he could say that “Some you did not notice”, but seing the unwavering look of Shao Xuan, he was quite shaken. Ridiculing himself, he said: “Yes, I only solved four... I was compelled to here by the Wan Shi tribe people.”
Shao Xuan did not speak.
The stranger walked two steps towards Shao Xuan, but was still maintaining a distance of ten meters.
As he moved, from the air, Chacha landed on the ground and stood next to Shao Xuan, his wings unfurled and his eagle eyes fixed on the stranger.
Shao Xuan comforted Chacha: “It’s all right.”
The appearance of Chacha gave the stranger quite the scare, making him step back and hide behind the ruins again. When Chacha flew up once more, he looked at the sky, at that eagle in the sky. After lowering his head, he introduced himself: “Rain Tribe, Yang Sui.”
Shao Xuan stared at the stranger for a long time as the smile on the stranger’s face became stiff.
He then calmly said: “Flaming Horns tribe, Shao Xuan.”
”Flaming Horns tribe?” As he thought, he remembered the writings he saw on those stones in the area. From the shock, Yang Sui’s mouth fell open for quite a while.
Flaming Horns tribe. That once big tribe that dwelled here? But wasn’t it said they had perished a thousand years ago?
Shao Xuan had been observing the reactions of the stranger, seeing the totem patterns appear on Yang Sui’s face, he squinted and then moved the blade in his hand slightly, the tip pointing towards Yang Sui. Although he had many very heavy wounds, but he was not without strength if he used his all. Moreover, the opposite party was not very strong.

"No no, wait! I’m just looking!” Yang Sui hurriedly said.
On Yang Sui’s face appeared some short vertical lines, this should be the Rain tribe’s totem pattern. But on his forehead. There was another mark, like a horizontal line.
The "pupil” inside the “eye” was a vertical line and it slowly opened.
"Can’t be, are you really from the Flaming Horns tribe?” Yang Sui had many doubts.
"There is no Fire Seed here. I also never heard that the Flaming Horns tribe still exists.” [Because people are confusing the flames on the Flaming Horns’ totem with the tribe’s Flame, we have decided to adopt the word Fire Seed instead from henceforth.]
Without the Fire Seed, nevermind the existence of the Flaming Horns tribe, even if there were descendants, they should now be wanderers, or some who have adopted a new totem, becoming members of another tribe. However, Shao Xuan said that he is a Flaming Horns tribe person... Shao Xuan is a totem warrior, this Yang Sui could affirm, and because of this, he was having doubts.
The day before yesterday, Yang Sui had felt something that looked like the fluctuations of energy from a Fire Seed, he only felt it that night, after that he could not feel anything anymore, it was just a regular stretch of ruins. Is it possible that his ability is insufficient? Yang Sui was puzzled.
Shao Xuan did not move, but was silent. He focused on the ‘There is no Fire Seed’ Yang Sui said. Obviously, Yang Sui had not noticed the burning roots below the fire pit.
Perhaps this was the reason that even after thousand years passed by that the burning roots under the fire pit in the old haunt still existed. Because others were unable to notice it, they thought the Flaming Horns tribe’s Fire Seed had already been destroyed.
"Are you a shaman?” Shao Xuan realized Yang Sui was using the power of inheritance.
"Yes... How did you know? Are you possibly also one?!” Yang Sui looked at Shao Xuan surprisedly.
"No.”
Shao Xuan no longer spoke and arrived by that high stone column and sat down with his back to it, and gestured to the sky.
In the sky, Chacha cried in compliance and flew off, after a while he came back and dropped a thing wrapped in leafs.
Catching that package, he untied the grass ropes and removed the leafs, revealing a cold lump of meat.
This was meat that he had roasted before but had not finished eating.
It was the meat of a ferocious beast that Chacha had caught before and had been roasted, it was not a strong ferocious beast, but it is always better than just a wild beast.
Having eaten the meat and drank some water, Shao Xuan felt a faint energy from the ferocious beast meat replenish him. In fact, he could also have used the fire crystal, the fire crystal could somewhat restore his exhausted strength very quickly, but there was a stranger here. As he did not have a good understanding of him, it was better to not take out the fire crystal.
Having come across with the matter of the Mang tribe and the Eight Limbs tribe, Shao Xuan understood that there were many people that could use various methods to seek out fire crystals. But there were also methods to hide it, for example with a jade box.
Shao Xuan’s fire crystal is currently in a jade box. It wasn’t any good quality jade, but he still spent many water moon stones to exchange for it. But it was good enough that it could serve its purpose.
Before dealing with the Wan Shi tribe people, Shao Xuan hid the jade stone with the fire crystal and other things.
Seeing Shao Xuan close his eyes and rest, Yang Sui took a look at the dark sky, moved a few steps towards Shao Xuan, but did not come too close, but was also not too far.
He understood his own strength, dealing with those four Wan Shi tribe people was the best he could do. Even if he relied on traps like Shao Xuan, the outcome would not be great if he met a ferocious beast in the forest on hiw own. After having seen Shao Xuan’s strength, even if he dreaded him, but it was always better than meeting a ferocious beast. In the night there were many dangerous ferocious beast that could appear.

Chacha rested while standing on the stone column, vigilantly watching Yang Sui.
This was also a real ferocious beast. Causing Yang Sui to feel tremendous pressure. He thought that under such pressure it would be difficult for him to fall asleep, but as he closed his eyes to just rest for a bit, he surprisingly started snoring. In his dreams he saw a fuzzy silhouette, it was like some sort of fire, inside the flames there were two horns. This was something he had never seen before.
Shao Xuan opened his eyes and looked towards the snoring person, becoming speechless. He thought Yang Sui was quite shrewd, didn’t imagine he was also like this. Was he really a shaman?
Carefully observing the surroundings, he did not discover anything dangerous approaching, so Shao Xuan closed his eyes once more and rested. Although the Fire Seed wasn’t burning, but the roots under the fire pit were still burning, giving Shao Xuan plenty of support. He could feel flames of the totem in his mind burning more vigorously, the totem power flowing within his body was also becoming more and more intense.
Next day, when Shao Xuan woke up, his injuries were much better now. The exhaustion had also alleviated greatly. He ran into the mountain forest to hunt for a not too big ferocious beast for breakfast.
Yang Sui watched Shao Xuan create a fire and roast the meat. As he wiped his saliva, he was also extremely surprised.
Although Shao Xuan had not bled that much yesterday, but Yang Sui knew the injuries that Shao Xuan received were quite serious. He also estimated he would need several days to recover. Unexpectedly he awoke today, and ran around energetically, even went hunting!
Is this a human?
Really isn't a ferocious beast in human form?
No, even a ferocious beast’s resilience isn’t so strong.
As he was wondering whether Shao Xuan was a human or a ferocious beast, Yang Sui heard Shao Xuan call.
"Hey.” Shao Xuan cut a leg from the roasted ferocious beast and threw it towards him.
Yang Sui had not regained his focus completely, but his body actually reacted quite quickly and hurriedly caught the ferocious beast leg. Not fearing being burnt, he quickly took a bite. As for whether Shao Xuan was a human or a ferocious beast, he put it in the back of his mind.
The reason Shao Xuan gave him something to eat was not out of sympathy, but using this, he reduced the anxious atmosphere and asked Yang Sui some questions.
Yang Sui did not conceal anything.
When they were young, the Rain tribe’s shamans would travel to various places to gain experience and learn how to become a better shaman, this was the same for Yang Sui. From the central region, the Rain Tribe was not very far, but Yang Sui had left the tribe since the beginning of the year, it had been nearly a year now.
Couple of days ago he arrived at the Wan Shi tribe and happened to run into their team returning from a war. He saw these women that the Wan Shi tribe caught and planned to rescue them before they were taken into the Wan Shi tribe. Unexpectedly, the woman he tried to save called out, causing him to almost be killed the Wan Shi tribe. Fortunately, he managed to escape quickly and hid in the Ferocious Beasts Mountain Forest, the chasers returned empty-handed.
Shao Xuan understood it now. No wonder there was a ruckus in the Wan Shi tribe, originally it was because of this guy. The Wan Shi tribe was probably afraid more people had entered their region.
"Did you also steal the fat birds from the Lu Tribe?” Shao Xuan asked.
"No! Absolutely not!” Yang Sui firmly denied with a straight face, but as he finished the sentence, he timidly added: "As I passed by there, I saw it standing there all alone so I took it along.”
That fat bird was also easily deceived, holding a fruit in front of it using a rope and a branch it started to run. At that time, Yang Sui was quite tired, so he used the fat bird as a mount. The route he took was different from the route the Lu Tribe’s caravan took, therefore Shao Xuan did not bump into him. But as he passed through the Wan Shi tribe time, he saw chaos in the Wan Shi tribe caused by Yang Sui.
