Chapter 383- The Power of the Elder

A cloud had blocked the sun. It grew a little darker. 

The forest seemed to grow a little solemn in the shade. 

The trees next to the sandy piece of land were very tall, this was what Shao Xuan liked best. Shao Xuan had observed the types of trees and the strength of their roots. The spot he stopped at was the best point to start. 

A troublesome beast like that was not a good opponent in a direct fight. He was a hunter, he had to use another method. 

Today’s weather and their surroundings were perfect. Hiding in a tree, he watched the crouching beast. 

However, all his predictions were still theoretical. He still had to be careful. He was not wearing the wormskin he used to wear for protection. He had used it to protect the core seed for Tuo to bring it back to the tribe. Without protection with him, he was more careful. It would do him no good to injure himself. 

He had silk thread with him though. He aimed and threw a stone nail over, tied to a piece of thread. 

The sound of the nail falling on the ground alerted the eating beast. Its relaxed frame was suddenly stiff, its body contracted. 

When it noticed the tiny human charging at it, it roared and waved its claws. 

Shao Xuan dodged and threw a small screw tied to some thread so it would circle a thick tree trunk. 

He still hadn’t used his knife yet. Although there were a few good opportunities to do so, they were not going to be fatal cuts. That would just break its skin, at most, but definitely anger the beast even more. Without knowing what the beast could do in extreme rage, it was best not to take that risk. 

He dodged another claw with utmost agility. Every time, when it looked like he was going to be hit, he would dodge it. 

Tao Zheng and the rest were sweating. To them, he looked like he was dancing on the line between life and death. They were all terrified that Shao Xuan would end up like the fish that was slapped into pulp. 

With every dodge, the beast had become agitated and each swing grew more forceful. It reached further to grab him but a large tree nearby snapped. While it did not break cleanly, the crown of the tree was still shaking furiously. 

Crack! 

Another tree was snapped in half. 

However, 

Shao Xuan still hadn’t used his knife. His strategy was still mainly running around and making the beast run in circles. 

“What the hell is he doing?” Zhui couldn’t help but ask. 

The rest were also confused as ever. Their initial concern had worn off. It was obvious Shao Xuan had the ability to fend himself from the beast, yet he still ran close to the beast. 

“We’ll just watch. If it really gets bad, Shao Xuan is strong enough to escape. Again, he hasn’t asked for help yet,” said tao Zheng. 

“What did he throw?” asked Wu Zhan, who hadn’t spoken. 

“Knife? Spearhead? Doesn’t look like it. Also, who throws stuff away from an animal?” Tao Zheng shook his head. 

The sun was still blocked by a cloud so it was a little dark. They could not see every detail, nor could they approach. This might just disrupt Shao Xuan’s plan and put themselves within the beast’s reach. 

That was why they all silently agreed to watch from afar. 

At this moment, Shao Xuan ran up a tree, then did a flip off it. Right under him was the beast, its jaws wide open, all its hook-like teeth waiting for it.
