Chapter 355 – Is He Really a Shaman?

For the strong, people were always in awe. However, they also gradually backed off with slightly despising looks when they saw Shao Xuan was in ragged clothes.

As the sun approached the horizon, Shao Xuan finally saw where the Macca tribe was.

The stone wall separating the Macca tribe from the outside has a height that you could see past and the stone houses inside could be seen. Although it was not high, it was still orderly. Some homes also specially used stones to surround the yard.

Although Wanfu had brought back a stranger, the Macca tribe people did not intend to pay attention to him. However, Shao Xuan was noticeable in rags while carrying two wild animals. The impact was too contradictory. When they saw this scene, they couldn’t help but stare. Who exactly is this person? He’s weird.

On they way, Shao Xuan has learned that of the tribes here, many of whom were no longer bound by totems. They also have rituals, but most of it were just spiritual sustenance and not their main source of power. If a stranger was accepted by a certain family, as long as it did not interfere with the tribe, he could also be accepted and become a member of the tribe.

The closer he got to the Macca tribe, the deeper the doubts in Shao Xuan’s heart—he did not feel the presence of a fire seed in the Macca tribe.

When he asked about the fire pit, Shao Xuan was only told that, in the Macca tribe, they do have a fire pit. Perhaps it was a custom handed down by the ancestors. They also do rituals here, but, unlike the tribes known to Shao Xuan before, there was no fire in their fire pit.

Not only the Macca tribe, Wanfu told Shao Xuan that the rest of the tribes were the same. As for the fire seed, the ancestors would not mention it unless they tell it as a story to the younger children. But how the fire disappeared, no one could tell. A lot of it were just speculations because the stories were not clear. Nobody really knew as it happened a long time ago.

There were two old people and an elder brother living together with Wanfu. Wancha did not follow them to collect dew, but followed another team in another direction to find water. However, he only brought back some withered fruit, so it was not necessarily unproductive.

Shao Xuan temporarily lived in the Macca tribe. He spoke to Wanfu that it was only a temporary stay. He’s still going to leave in a few days.

Wancha was unlike his younger brother with a good temper. Upon seeing Shao Xuan, he also scanned him with discerning and guarded eyes as if looking at someone with bad intention. Even if Shao Xuan had brought two beasts, he didn’t change his attitude.

Shao Xuan in his ragged clothes already caused Wancha to disregard him. Then, to see Shao Xuan unexpectedly use a stone knife, Wancha had despised him even more. This man was still using a stone knife! No wonder there’s only rags that who knew how long he has worn in his person. A stone knife, tsk. That was what his grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather had used. Although their tribe was only a little bit capable, a lot of them have metal knives. In the eyes of some people such as Wancha, Shao Xuan was a poor man with only his great strength.

Wancha also waved his somewhat deformed, scratched short sword in front of Shao Xuan. Not only the Wan brothers, majority of the Macca tribe have metal weapons on hand, or a combination of wood and animal horns with metal. Pure stone weapons were not used, with the exception of some old people.

Of course, some people thought they were smart. When they saw Shao Xuan’s extraordinary stone knife, they’d tell him, “Look at you. Let me help you.” Under the guise, they wanted to exchange their own rusty knife for Shao Xuan’s stone knife. Of course, Shao Xuan did not exchange. He just calmly look at the other person until the other became uncomfortable and took the initiative to give up and left.
