They came to the market. There were travelers walking scattered, some of them were probably from the tribes on the grasslands and lived close from here. They sold things at fixed stalls. They gathered with the members of their tribe as they were of being bullied.

The markets in the Mang tribe and the Eight Limbs tribe were orderly because they were under the control of at least two tribes. That was why others did not dare to cause trouble. If anybody caused trouble, those two tribes would not let them go.

It was different here, for there were often fights among large groups. When Shao Xuan got there, a fight had just ended, which was caused by two traveling teams. Some warriors of both team got injured or were killed. A lot of bloodstains were still left on the battlefield. Some people were cleaning up the corpses, while others who had seen such a scene before just stepped on the ground covered by blood and bodies clamly.

In this place, everything depended on your strength. They obeyed the most primal law. If you didn’t have strength, you would be slaughtered, and no one would care about it.

Fortunately, compared with the markets in the Mang tribe and the Eight Limbs tribe, this was not part of the central region. Only a few of those travelers were from the tribes in the central region. This place was close to the grasslands, so most were warriors from the tribes on the grasslands. There were many people from nearby tribes that came here to trade.

People sold at stalls here. Some people sold cows, goats and other livestock, and others did as the Pu tribe, who bought things from other places and sold them here again.

Most of the things sold in the market were livestock, food, tools, weapons and herbs. In general, the variety was no less than the market of the two tribes. And the market here was quite lively. After all, it was the only place where people could trade.

Tall and strong warriors were talking loudly. Some people directly fought with others because they did not finish the transaction. Such things could happen at any time.

Shao Xuan inquired someone about the market. It was said that no wanderer groups had come here, which made Mai a little disappointed. It seemed to be not easy to find the wanderers.

Kun Tu did not give up. Even in the market, he whistled ever so often, hoping that someone could hear the whistle in the market. Otherwise, how would they find the other wanderers in such a big place? Maybe the other people were not as fortunate and they got in deep trouble because they didn’t meet the warriors sent bythe Flaming Horns tribe.

Thinking about something, Ku Tu followed behind Mai absent-minded. As they walked all the way along the market, they did not find any wanderers and intended to leave. However, they heard a whistle when they passed the hill closest to the market.

It was the same as Kun Tu’s whistle.

“They are here!” Kun Tu’s eyes flashed and looked around. It was difficult for him to determine the location in a short time.

Mai’s hearing was better. They immediately found the location.

“Over there! Go, go!” There was a clue at last. Mai was very happy, but was also worried, because the mountain was a place where the travelers were resting. A large number of people stayed there and the situation was complicated because of the power struggle. They were totem warriors. For the wanderers, that was really not a good place.

Shao Xuan had encountered such a mountain. In the market of the Mang tribe and the Eight Limbs tribe, he followed the traveling team of the Pu tribe and stayed in similar caves and he witnessed a fight. All depended on strength if you wanted to stay in a cave. Because of this, he wondered why Kun Tu said the wanderers would go there.

Kun Tu blew the whistle twice and stopped. He blew it again, but there was no response.

“Why aren’t they blowing?” Lang Ga was puzzled.

“Maybe something bad happened.” Shao Xuan said.

As a place used to rest, the mountain was quite hollowed out. There were several entrances and exits, and the most important one directly divided the arched mountain. If you looked down from above, this mountain where travelers rested looked like an arch of nearly three hundred degrees.

Many of the holes in the mountain were manually dug, such holes could be seen everywhere.

When Shao Xuan hurried to the mountain, there were ten wanderers standing at a place on the arched mountain. Several of them were injured and hadn’t wiped the blood off. And in the front, a traveling team surrounded them.

Other people were watching this place as if they were watching a movie. No one intervened in this situation. Such an incident actually gave them some entertainment. They stood in the holes where their teams stayed, looking at what was happening there.

Among the ten people, the leader was called Chi Yi. He was holding a wooden whistle in his hand. But it was not he who whistled, rather a young man beside him. But before he could blow the whistle again, Chi Yi took it. He naturally knew his companions were nearby, but he did not want to let them come here. They were wanderers. And this place was like a big mouth, and those totem warriors were the sharp teeth in the big mouth. If a wanderer came in, he would get badly injured and even die. They could sacrifice their lives, but others should not get involved in it.

In front of Chi Yi, the traveling team watched them jokingly as if they were the prey in the cage.

“Why don’t you continue to blow it? Did your companions come here? Go on and blow it, tell them to come here. I want to see what your companions are like.” A man of the traveling team said.

“Yeah, keep blowing. We welcome all of you.”

“Are there any women?” Someone beside him echoed.

Hearing those words, Chi Yi and a few people looked even worse, but now they could not escape.

Chi Yi looked to the people in another hole not far away from them. He knew many of them, but none of them stood up and helped them.

As everyone looked at Chi Yi, a totem warrior went into a hole above them with a clay jar full of water. He walked along while talking with the other companions in the hole, “These wanderers are bold. Only ten in a group dare to come here.” He saw the scene over there when he went out to get some water.

“Wanderers? Why did the wanderers come here? Even one hundred coming here will die.” Someone in the hole asked.

“Who knows?” The man holding the clay jar said indifferently. “If you want to know, you can go out to watch. They haven’t started fighting yet.”

“Well, where is the fun? If two traveling teams fight, I will be interested. But a battle against wanderers? Not interested.” The man distorted his mouth, leaned against the wall and looked to a person coming from within the cave, “Gu La, do you know what happened to Shan Dao? Did he really encounter another eagle?”

The people coming did not answer and just sighed.

In the hole, a wounded eagle was resting there. There were many scratches on its body and some parts were bald, for the feathers were forcibly pulled off its body. It was still bleeding. It was feeling better now after getting some medicine. Compared to Chacha, this eagle called “Shan Dao”, which was as big as Chacha, was injured more seriously.

Gu La took the water bottle and drank, recalling the scene he saw this morning. He did not expect that Shan Dao would encounter an enemy in the air here. Because of the size and strength of Shan Dao, he could hunt on the other birds. It was not very likely for him to meet an equal. So they did not worry about him. However, they were shocked when they saw Shan Dao come back like that.

At that time, Shan Dao’s feathers were stained with blood and some feathers were in a mess. He couldn’t fly stably. When he flew back, he fell on the ground straight away, crying from pain. After he got some medicine, he became quiet and fell into a sleep. If he was awake, he would’ve tried to fly out.

What happened? Why was he hurt so badly? Gu La did not know.

Other people were resting in the hole. Two teenagers, among them, felt bored and left the hole to see what was going on over there.

“They are the members of the Di Shan tribe, they can only bully the weak.” One of them saw the traveling team over there and spoke disdainingly.

Chi Yi was thinking of how to deal with the current situation when he heard the whistle coming from outside once again. Seemingly afraid that they could not hear it, the man tried his hardest to blow as they approached.

Chi Yi was anxious, why did they come here?!

The people of the Di Shan tribe wore a sardonic smile and looked at the depressed Chi Yi. The leader said: “It seems that your companions are coming here. You can either take them with you, or stay here with your companions!”

Chi Yi’s facial muscle was twitching because of excessive anger and anxiety. He turned to look at the entrance of the mountain and prayed: Don’t come in, please!

Besides Chi Yi, others were curiously looking at the entrance at the bottom of the mountain, where the whistle came from. Many people thought: The wanderers were bold. Here is the site of totem warriors, and they still came in. Fools, right?

Above, two young warriors were lying on the path in front of the hole, and stretching their necks to look down. What did the bold men look like?

Soon, they saw an ordinary dark man running in and in his mouth there was a wooden whistle. Look, who is next to him...?

Suddenly, the people in the mountain became confused. More than twenty people came in with the man blowing the whistle, and they didn’t look like wanderers!

Mai glanced around and fixed its eyes on Chi Yi. He walked a few steps quickly and did not wait for Kun Tu to make his way up the mountain on his own. He seized Ku Tu’s animal skin coat and then bent his legs to jump.

It was common for the people of the Flaming Horns tribe to climb mountains. They were good at climbing even the steep mountains. They climbed mountains every time when they went hunting. For them, the mountain where these travelers rested was very easy even without walking on the path.

They climbed the mountain like apes climbing trees, and more than 20 people reached the place where Chi Yi and the Di Shan tribe were.

“Sure enough. They are totem warriors!”

“Only totem warriors can climb the mountain so easily. It is as easy as climbing a tree for them.”

“But why are those totem warriors staying with the wanderers? Are they helping the wanderers?”

The people in the mountain had a heated discussion.
