Chapter 731: 98
Shao Zifeng strained his eyes to see the person on the back of the Kebobite beast, but she was positioned right in the middle of the sun, and within the dazzling sunlight, he could only make out a slender silhouette.
His vision grew more and more blurred, and Shao Zifeng couldn’t help but close his eyes; he could feel this woman harbored no malice towards him.
“#￥%…?”
The man who had spoken earlier respectfully said sothing, but regrettably, Shao Zifeng couldn’t understand the language at all and could only judge their attitudes by sensing their emotions.
The woman was dressed in a beast skin armor, her silver-white hair tied back in a sprightly ponytail, and she wore an ice-blue mask different from the others, with twisted totem patterns that gave off a sense of mystery.
She didn’t respond to the man’s words, her eyes behind the mask staring unblinkingly at Shao Zifeng for a long ti before finally shifting her gaze away.
The woman looked around, raised her arm, and shouted with her spear held high: “#￥&!”
The rest of the people followed by raising their weapons, fervently repeating the woman’s words: “#￥&!”
Shao Zifeng felt the hostility around him gradually lessen, and he stealthily opened one eye to look at the woman.
Hisss!
So dazzling!
The woman led the way, and Shao Zifeng, through gestures and broken phrases, finally understood they wanted to take him back with them.
Over twenty Kebobite beasts surrounded Shao Zifeng in their midst and galloped away towards the direction of the sun.
…
Under their guidance, Shao Zifeng arrived at a land where mountains stretched on and on.
The towering mountains held back the snow and severe cold; this was the first ti Shao Zifeng had ever seen land, the air for the first ti ever carrying the elents of rock and earth.
After traversing a long gorge, the flat side of the mountain unfolded before Shao Zifeng’s eyes.
Simplistic houses spread far and wide, with countless won and children cheering as they ca forward, ready to share the spoils of the hunt.
But when they saw Yaya within the herd of Kebobite beasts and Shao Zifeng, the won and children gradually slowed their steps.
They looked at Shao Zifeng, whose skin color and facial features were vastly different from their own, their expressions filled with curiosity and a touch of restraint.
This restraint lasted until the warriors dragged the Ice Silent Death Worm to the square; the won and children cheered at the sight of the huge body of the Ice Silent Death Worm, and middle-aged won skillfully began to butcher the carcass with knives, while younger won sang strange chants, their faces flushed with shyness as they approached the warriors they had longed for.
Shao Zifeng felt like an observer, curiously watching this community that was only slightly larger than a village.
The houses were built very primitively, or rather, sowhat chaotically; many were simply piled up with stones, their walls filled with gaps, seemingly unconcerned with the cold…
Hm.
Shao Zifeng recalled the water sack, perhaps the people here really didn’t fear the cold.
Apart from the small square they were at now, the outer edges of the village had several cleared spaces filled with piled snow, and beneath the snow, sothing seed to be planted.
Just then, several snotty-nosed kids gathered round, curiously looking at Yaya and reaching out with their snot-wiped hands to touch it.
“Wu!”
Yaya backed up a few steps and lowered her head, letting out a low growl akin to a threat.
The kids were so frightened they ran off on shaky legs, hiding behind the won and whispering sothing.
At this mont, the people finally rembered Shao Zifeng; the won would occasionally steal glances at him, murmuring to each other in low voices.
The man who had descended from the Kebobite beast beckoned a woman over and instructed her with a few words, then shouted sothing loudly at Shao Zifeng.
Indeed.
Shao Zifeng could guess what he ant with his toes.
After getting down from Yaya, the woman ca over, murmuring sothing in a low voice, and then turned and walked away.
Shao Zifeng thought for a mont, instructed Yaya to rest up well here, and then followed the woman into the settlent.
Creak—
The woman pushed open the wooden door that looked as if it could fall apart at any mont, and the snow on it fell off like dust.
The woman turned sideways and whispered softly, “&*#.”
Shao Zifeng understood in a second and habitually said thank you.
The woman lifted her head in confusion, appearing sowhat flustered because she didn’t understand the aning of Shao Zifeng’s words.
Seeing her expression, a smile of apology spread across Shao Zifeng’s face.
If there is a universal recognition of beauty among humans, then although Shao Zifeng’s appearance had so differences from theirs, he was handso.
A simple smile made the woman show a shy expression, her originally light blue face…
Um.
Turned even bluer.
Bending down to walk into the room, the dim indoor environnt slightly relieved the discomfort in his eyes.
The room’s decoration was very sparse, with only a rough-style table and a wooden bed propped up by stones, covered with a light blue animal hide that truly didn’t sll very pleasant.
Shao Zifeng sat on the bed, and the next mont his face turned green.
It was cold again!!
Just as he lifted the animal hide, the woman ca in holding a stone bowl. She glanced at the bed strangely, then spoke softly, lowering her head.
Shao Zifeng pointed to the stone bowl in her hand and then at himself, “For .”
The woman nodded, seemingly understanding yet not.
Shao Zifeng took the stone bowl and slled a faint, refreshing fragrance. He blew on it gently, then lifted it toward his mouth.
“#￥%.”
The woman stopped him sowhat frantically, and Shao Zifeng’s motion halted.
This wasn’t Shao Zifeng acting recklessly; communication was truly difficult, so it might be better to watch the woman’s reaction using this straightforward approach.
With the recent interaction, the woman seed less shy than before. She snatched the stone bowl from Shao Zifeng, stirred it with her finger, and then gestured for Shao Zifeng to lower his head.
The cold paste was evenly applied to Shao Zifeng’s eye area, and the woman’s face wore a look of astonishnt throughout.
This man was actually warm!
After finishing, the woman gestured for him to rest well, then left the cabin with the stone bowl.
Under the effect of the paste, the discomfort in Shao Zifeng’s eyes quickly subsided.
He lay in bed recalling the day’s events. Overco by weariness, Shao Zifeng slowly drifted into sleep.
…
In the very center of this gathering area, a wooden house stood out conspicuously.
Unlike the other cabins, this wooden house was exquisitely crafted. Every piece of wood was joined together seamlessly and a white tiger skin hung on the door.
The interior of the wooden house was spacious and well-lit. The girl who had taken off her leather armor was wearing a water-blue dress, her waterfall-like hair casually tied up as she walked barefoot on an unidentified animal hide on the floor.
“Ka… Chief, may I co in?”
A man’s voice ca from outside the door. The girl glanced casually, “It’s not convenient, you can talk from outside.”
The man hesitated to speak for a while, then after a mont, he said in a low voice, stifling his emotions, “Chief, why did you bring that man back? Have you forgotten how our holand was destroyed?”
The girl’s light blue feet pressed against the animal hide, and after a long pause, she spoke lightly, “I felt like it.”
