Chapter 290

C290 - Desert Beast

Posted on October 20, 2018 by AzureOrchid92

The dusty weather has passed, therefore, the travel team would not stay in the Rain tribe. Huang Ye and the other people decided to start tomorrow since the rain won't continue until tomorrow.

The rain has become smaller. The rain that almost fell down like silk threads has now become drop-like again. The sky with a thick cloud layer has already begun to open up a gap, causing the golden sunlight to overflow. They believed that before long, the sky would clear up.

"I didn't think I could really ask for the rain." Tuo was amazed

"So is that why it was called the 'Rain' tribe?" Lei said.

Not only Lei and Tuo, but the others, even if they did not say it, had their hearts still shocked. That previous scene was enough to impress them.

"Didn't they say that the Shaman of the Rain tribe was to be burned to death? Did they burn him?" someone asked.

"Nonsense. That was said when he couldn't ask for rain. Under such a big rain, can this not be credited to the Shaman. With this, it was expected that the Shaman of the Tain tribe will have his status elevated."

"Not only raised. To my understanding of the Rain tribe, if the call for rain was successful, he will definitely get the most rights in the tribe. Nothing he said will be refuted, and his status will be even higher than the chief."

Indeed, now, the Rain tribe's people were simply treating Yang Sui as a god. Even if he had them kneel and lick his toes, they would do it.

Shao Xuan had a look at the Rain tribe totem in his sea of consciousness. The points on the totem were still rolling, but, compared to during the heavy rain, the speed of rolling moves more slowly.

Probably because the tribe successfully called for rain for the first time rain in many years, the Rain tribe people sent water and food back to the border where their visitors rest. These were usually a lot of things they need, but now, the Rain tribe was happy. Since they were happy, they would not let themselves be happy without others following, so water and bread were sent.

However, for these water and bread, the travel team members were not much interested. Water? They have already received enough. Bread? That dry hard rough that your teeth wanted to drop kind of bread, who would like to eat that?!

Still, experienced warriors were happy to accept the bread and put it in their hide bags carefully.

In the afternoon, Yang Sui came to find Shao Xuan. This time, Shao Xuan was not informed, but Yang Sui came in person. The crisis has passed and his status was stable, so they did not need to worry that it would bring trouble to Shao Xuan. On the contrary, seeing Shao Xuan and Yang Sui were acquainted, the tribes who manage this side would give Shao Xuan more preferential treatment.

Compared to the previous two days, Yang Sui now has changed into clean and tidy clothes. His previous embarrassment was also missing.

Only after a day, Yang Sui's whole person looked more stable. The change could be because of the events that happened or because of other stuff. In short, his looks were quite stylish.

On Yang Sui's side was only Mi Fu and no other people.

Now, the sky was clear, the air fresh after the rain. The moist cool feeling has not yet dispersed, so most of the Rain tribe's people have smiles on their faces.

"Congratulations," Shao Xuan said, then he took out the animal skin bag with the shells and handed it to Yang Sui, "I'll give this back to you."

"You take it. I don't need it now," said Yang Sui. He wasn't lying. Because of his status, he really did not lack this. Although the Rain tribe looked barren, they had a lot of "goods". As the Highest-ranking man in today's tribe, Yang Sui has more, and this bag of shells was nothing compared to the wealth he now possesses.

"What am I going to do with this? Take it back. I can't use it either." If there was no accident, the direction that this team would go was most likely the desert. There was no use for these for Shao Xuan. Even if there was a need, he could also do it by trade, so there was no need to bring a bag of shell coins.

Yang Sui heard Shao Xuan's words. Thinking of it, he had no objection and took the animal hide bag, then handed to Mi Fu on his side. Then, he whispered a few words to Mi Fu.

Mi Fu hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, and took the bag of coins as she left.

Seeing Mi Fu leave, Yang Sui told Shao Xuan, "Let's wait. I had her get something for you, that you will definitely need."

"You're going to the 'death' land?" Yang Sui asked.

Shao Xuan understood that the people on this side referred to the desert as "death", so he nodded. "I really wanted to go over there."

"I have seen a lot of people go in before, the same as your travel team but there were also slaves. However, there were more going in than out. I went in there when I was a little boy, and I almost didn't come out." Yang Sui told his own experience, "After entering, do not easily trust anyone, whether it is your team, or those who seem to be poor slaves. In order to survive, they may do anything. Also, in 'death', even if you see anything, be cautious. Sometimes, the eyes will be deceptive."

Shao Xuan nodded. Surviving in a desert was difficult. It may inspire some people with a heart on the extremes, but it was natural to be guarded. As for what Yang Sui said, there was a possibility of a mirage in the desert.

After telling his experiences, Yang Sui's face became solemn as he turned towards Shao Xuan to bow and give worship.

"Shao Xuan, thank you!"

Seeing Shao Xuan's puzzled eyes, Yang Sui stood up then smiled, "I know you helped me." During the rain ceremony, he felt the sign of the fire seed waking up, but soon, the fire was sleeping again. By then, he knew he had failed. But not long after that, the fire changed again, waking up. He felt a power revived the fire seed, and the force came from the border of the Rain tribe, where the people in the travel team lived.

At that time, Yang Sui's speculation was that the reason was Shao Xuan. According to his observation, Shao Xuan has a strange power of inheritance.

Now, after seeing Shao Xuan, Yang Sui was more certain.

As they talked, Mi Fu who had left had come back. She did not walk but rode a camel.

This was the first time that Shao Xuan has seen a camel in this world.

Its peak height was over two meters. The double-peaked camel has an overall khaki color, short ears and long tail. Most of its body hair was not long. Although it was large, it looked relatively thin.

Looking closer at its front, he noticed that the camel's face was white, as well as its two short ears. It had a thick long curved neck and a hump with long dark brown hair. There was a pinch on its forehead, that swayed when the wind was blowing.

Shao Xuan watched the camel run over, his heart was saying: Desert God Beast.

"I think you'll need it." Yang Sui looked at the camel trot over, then said to Shao Xuan, "They live in 'death'. This one was what we had finally caught and brought back to raise. Not many survived, while the living are used by the tribe to carry things, else they were eaten."

When Yang Sui brought the camel to the Shao Xuan, Mi Fun rolled down from the camel and looked at its eyes without shedding a tear. Consequently, this camel was familiar to both Yang Sui and Mi Fu, and Shao Xuan was able to feel its closeness to the two.

Giving this camel to him, these two people must have reluctance in their hearts. With it following him to 'death', the chance of getting out of there was small.

"And take this, too." Yang Sui handed Shao Xuan a heavy animal skin bag, and a large black stone wrapped in a leaf.

Shao Xuan took the heavy animal skin bag and opened it. He saw what was the inside the thing was a bread. "This is ..."

"Bread." Yang Sui said calmly.

Bread? This is a weapon, right?

Note: Ok, I'm not sure if I should refer to the term they use for the desert as 'death' or 'dead'.
