Chronicles Of Primordial Wars (Ch. 271-500)

ch. 391-392

Chapter 391

Some people around also noticed the big man approaching. The people who were pushed away wanted to scold this man, but as soon as they saw him, they immediately swallowed their words.

Most of the people present here knew who this man was. He was a famous wanderer, known as Black Bear. With his appearance, it was a very appropriate name, especially him in a thick brown animal leather, combined with his stocky figure. He really was like a black bear.

The surrounding crowd was pushed back as the Black Bear stepped forward with a steady pace towards Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan did not notice Black Bear and the crowd’s movements, his attention at this time had always been focused on the stone in his hand. He knew that there were already some people crowded around him, and that there were more than he had expected.

Originally, Shao Xuan only wanted to see if he could use his stone carving to attract a few people to check the animal skins. Even if nobody was attracted, after carving the stone well, he could place it here to advertise. There would always be curious people. After all, there was no one else doing the same.

Shao Xuan’s stone carving technique was polished from grinding his tools often. When Old Ke taught him, the requirements were quite strict. His mistakes in subtle places would be pointed out to Shao Xuan, then he’d continue to polish it, to correct it, until there were no more mistakes to be seen.

Since the effect of him trying to attract the crowd’s attention was better than he thought, this had to be taken more seriously. The approximate outline had been formed, so Shao Xuan replaced the stone hammer with a knife and continued.

As he carved again, Shao Xuan also quickly entered a more focused state.

The ding ding sounds were gone, but everyone was already focused on the stone in Shao Xuan’s hands. As stone powder fell, a figure was taking shape.

The traders here had already left their hunting habits which were passed down from generation to generation. Some of the traders had stopped hunting any large beast so seeing a stone carving of something they hadn’t encountered would naturally look strange to them.

“Is this a carved giant bear?!” There were other Flaming Horns tribe warriors next to Shao Xuan talking.

The “giant” word was heard by the rest and, suddenly other people were also talking about it. They did hunt a giant bear, but how could one carve it with such vivid detail?

Although others had carved on bronze or other artefacts, they have never seen such a lifelike stone carving. This stone carving was small, but it made a person feel the deep wild mountain forest with the roaring of a fierce giant bear.

“How much is this stone carving?” Before the stone carving was finished, someone already asked.

Tribesmen generally required for a direct trade, which was mostly among the wanderers. They understood well the requirements of the tribes that some people even just directly pull out a copper knife to exchange.

When the others noticed it, those of the same mind also moved, taking out a knife a little bigger than the person in front. They directly went to find Du Kang to discuss.

The people here already knew that the head of the Flaming Horns tribe was the person standing nearby. To discuss the trade, of course directly looking for the most powerful person was the best idea. As for the boy carving, why wouldn’t he listen to the leader’s orders?

So, the people who thought they had a smart idea went to Duo Kang to talk.

Meanwhile, Black Bear, who was now standing in front of Shao Xuan, did not move. His eyes were glued to Shao Xuan’s hands, on the nearly finished stone carving.
