Chapter 266

The person who has been beaten, transformed into a different figure. The moment Shao Xuan arrived, he could clearly see the incredible changes happening to that person. The tall man transformed into an obese person. At this time, Shao Xuan had underestimated the person in front of him.

When they were fighting against each other, the petite woman who had retreated to the side, stared at Shao Xuan with amazement. She knows that Shao Xuan is clever. When she detected Shao Xuan tailing behind them, they immediately changed their plans. They tried to avoid the patrol team especially Shao Xuan’s patrol team.

“How did this brat discover us? How are we supposed to get past them in the future?”

Shao Xuan also noticed the movements of the petite woman. Whatever happens, he was mentally prepared to fight the woman if she joins the fight, but she just stood there and watched the battle.

When Shao Xuan looked back at his opponent, he was caught by surprise to see the man on the offensive and attacking him. Suddenly, the man moved and jumped back. His face was somewhat distorted. His bones haven’t been restored to its original form. He was smiling at Shao Xuan and then, started to laugh for some reason. It was weird and horrible.

The man looks like he was about to speak, but he looked up at the sky.

“Someone is coming! Let’s go!” said the petite woman. She quickly ran away from the scene.

The man who was fighting Shao Xuan also quickly left the scene, but they were both going in different directions.

As soon as they left, ten people came and chased after the two people. Shao Xuan could not catch up to the two people.

After fighting with the man, he is now sure that the man he fought with was the one he met in the tribe last year. Perhaps he could have also stolen the things that belonged to the tribe.

It didn’t take long before the ten people came back. From their expressions, Shao Xuan can see that they did not catch the two people

“What happened?” asked Shao Xuan.

“They ran away,” Gui He said.

The white dragonfly in the sky also came back. It also failed to find the two people.

“Were the two people thieves?”

“Seems like it.” Shao Xuan answered.

Shao Xuan asked around to see where those two thieves lived. Shao Xuan described the faces of the two thieves.

It did not take long for Shao Xuan to find out where the two thieves lived.

“Is it here?” Gui He kicked the door open.

The people inside the room didn’t understand what was happening, but they did know who Gui He and Shao Xuan are. One is the tribe’s boss and the other is the tribe’s elder. Both of them has high status in the tribe. The people in the room did not dare to speak a word.

Shao Xuan talked to Tuo and asked him to do something. Shao Xuan entered the room.

Tuo told the customers that two couples had secretly left their rooms without paying. He asked if any of them knew the two couples.

Shao Xuan listened to the information provided by the people around Tuo. From the information that Tuo has gathered, the two people were already in the tribe before winter!

After looking around the house, they found nothing useful. Shao Xuan and Gui He went to the leader and reported the matter.

The thieves entered the tribe secretly. This made the leader felt angry and vigilant.

“Go to each tribe and re-register the people. You are responsible for this matter!”

“Yes!”

Last year there was a lot of negligence, and there was a lot of trouble. Now that something has happened, you need to clean up the mess. Not only do you need to re-register the people of Yanjiao tribe but also the tourists who live in the peripheries. You guys have to re-register and then check and re-check them every once in a while.

The leader asked: “Xuan, how did you find them?”

“Intuition.” Shao Xuan said. He couldn’t tell why. After seeing the two, they felt a little bit suspicious. After following them, he felt more and more suspicious.

“I will get more people to try and find these two thieves,” said the leader.

After leaving from the hustle and bustle, Shao Xuan walked with the patrols and walked through the residential area Yanjiao. He left the patrol team and planned to go over and see if he could find some clues.

Similar to the other wooden houses, there was a wooden table that has been smashed and shattered in the room. There was a lot of wood residue on the ground. In the wooden house, the furnishings were simple. The wood on the wall was knocked over. Marks were left by the tools, the ground was also shaved, they probably did not find anything, and got so angry that the wooden bench was also crushed.

Shao Xuan did not find anything suspicious. It really feels like those who have not yet have their Totem Power awaken.

Nothing special here.

No. There is something.

Shao Xuan smelled carefully. Since he has seen lots of herbs with Wu, he can identify many of them. The subtle smell of here is more like grass, not bitter medical herbs. By the fire pit, there were some light green dregs. Shao Xuan picked some with his finger and lifted it under his nose. Were those two injured? Probably recently, too. Thinking of the ceremony a few days ago, Shao Xuan wondered if their injury was inflicted by the fire in the ceremony. Really? Are thieves these days so relentless? All that rejection and pain from the fire, just for some petty theft? How dedicated. He looked around, but nothing sketchy other than those dregs. Shao Xuan was about to leave, but he turned around after some brief thinking. He looked around again, but with his special ability.

The entire place was shrouded in darkness. The wooden walls and stone-like objects lost their original color and turned gray…though there was one exception! Shao Xuan’s gaze was fixated at the base of a particular place along the walls. There a dim glow that stood out from the surroundings. Compared to the gray hue around it it was very noticeable.

After closing the door to the log cabin, Shao Xuan walked over to take a look at the dim light. It appears to be coming from the ground. Unable to see what was buried underneath, Shao Xuan took out a dagger and started digging. As he dug further, the light became brighter and finally, he was able to see the light emitting item. It was a pouch made of animal hide with something inside. It was cylindrical and about a forearm’s length. He opened the pouch and took out what was inside it. It was a wooden tube of some variety. It was not bamboo, but it was not a type of wood Shao Xuan had commonly seen before. This was slightly harder. There was a tightly stuffed stopper at the end of the wooden tube. There was the trace of a golden powder-like color near the stopper. What was this shiny gold material? Was it some kind of metal? To be hidden like this by those two people, could it be a stolen treasure from some other tribe? Filled with curiosity, Shao Xuan decided to pull out the stopper. Though it was just a stopper, he needed to apply quite a bit of strength in order to pull it out. An ordinary passerby would not have the strength to do so. In order to prevent the contents inside from spilling out, Shao Xuan kept the stopper faced up as he pulled with force. The abundantly packed gold powder dazzled as if it was placed under sunshine. Was it gold? No, no it was not. In fact, it was not any sort of metal. Shao Xuan slightly weighed the tube in his hands and stirred up the contents a bit with the dagger. The golden powder was not as heavy as metal or stone. It was more akin to wood! A golden colored wood?

Unlike the dyed color, it was more like a natural gold.

Looking around, Shao Xuan found a wooden plate and took it. After wiping the wooden plate clean, Shao Xuan poured out the gold powder into the wooden tube.

He carefully pinched at the clipping within the gold powder. It appeared to be a portion of a leaf that had been shaped into a square-like shape. The cut marks could be seen on both ends but they were not apparent along the borders and the leaf veins were still visible. The wooden tube gave Shao Xuan the impression that it was very archaic, but the leaf looked like it was freshly plucked with no signs of withering.

Sniffing the leaf, he could smell a faint foliage scent. Though it was not pungent, one whiff of it would cause one’s built up fatigue to disperse. What was more fascinating to Shao Xuan was the design on the leaf. The lines were in a messy zigzag so he could not tell what it was.

Was it a letter? It did not seem like it. Shao Xuan delicately blew off the gold powder covering the leaf in order to get a clearer look. Looking on top of the dark green leaf, he noticed the golden letters formed by the powder were gradually fading out so he stopped.

The windows were tightly shut but even if the wind were blowing in it would not have scattered the powder that quickly. Moreover, the powder on the wooden plate beside him was fine, only the golden powder letters on the leaf were rapidly disappearing. Shao Xuan wanted to bury the leaf in the gold powder again thinking it would perhaps prevent the powder from dissipating. Before he could do so, his vision blacked out and he had lost consciousness.
