Chapter 382
Let Me Try
After he proved his point, the rest trusted Shao Xuan a little more .
“So?” Tao Zheng looked at Zhui .
Zhui buried the rock expressionlessly, covering it with leaves again . “Since we’ve made the decision, let’s hunt it . ”
The bone beast was tempting . A good hunter was excited by a challenge .
Once they confirmed the decision, Tao Zheng retreated a little with the rest for a discussion before they moved . If it were an animal they were familiar with, they would not need to discuss . However, they had to plan for this one because it was their first time .
Unfortunately, the world did not wait for them .
Just as they were discussing, a bird dove into the river like a gust of wind to catch a fish . It did a flip in the air and found a rock to rest on .
Tao Zheng and the rest stared anxiously . Fly away, bird! Fly away quickly!
The bird did not leave though . It had chosen this rock .
The rest watch as the bird with a long neck flew towards the bone beast with the fish in its beak .
They all cursed the bird in their hearts . You idiot! Why did you pick THAT rock? I’d rather you pick a diseased tree than that ‘rock’!
Just as its claws landed on the beast’s head, all hope vanished . They would rather shoot it down now . Some of them closed their eyes- not because they did not want to see it eaten, but because they had to stop themselves from shooting the bird .
It was such a good opportunity, now it was ruined by a stupid bird!
If the bird had landed on another rock, perhaps the beast would not bother with such small prey and continue hiding . However, it would never let an animal standing on its head go .
Roar!
A roar that sounded like boulders rolling off a slope echoed . A boulder cracked open to reveal hook-like teeth, snapping up the bird who was bold enough to step on its head .
The deep roar and the bird’s high-pitched squawk scared all the other birds away, all flapping their wings frantically to escape . The young animal they had encounter shuddered and then sprinted off .
The squawk suddenly stopped, its fish plopped on the ground, gasping for air . It was about to leap back into the river when the bone beast stepped on its with its claws . It was now pulp .
It was as if a hill rose from the ground . When the beast emerged from the sand, pebbles and stones crackled under its claws .
It chewed on the bird, panting . The group could feel every rumble of its breath in their bones .
They looked at the bone beast, shocked by its size .
Shao Xuan climbed up the tree for a better view of the animal .

The bone beast was similar to the dinosaur but only in terms of body shape . There was still a huge difference in its features because one was herbivorous, the other carnivorous .
The dinosaur was a little rounder while this one was muscular . It was like comparing a fat pig to a muscular bull .
Of course, its greatest defence was hard bone covering its entire body .
Tao Zheng and the rest discussed in a low voice as they watched the animal slowly chew on tis food .
“What now?” someone asked .
Give up? But it felt like a waste . Hunt it? But they had no guarantee . This was not what they had planned .
Tao Zheng had several ideas but they were all no use . They were too dangerous . Even if they succeeded, they might get hurt in the process . They would never risk their lives like that just for an animal .
He felt a nudge . Zhui glanced upwards, indicating Tao Zheng to look up .
Tao Zheng looked up to see Shao Xuan observing something in the tree . In a low voice, he asked, “Shao Xuan, what do you think?”
He still had to ask for the Elder’s opinion . This person was capable and ranked higher than him .
“Let me try,” said Shao Xuan .
“What?” Tao Zheng strained his ears, fearing he had mistaken .

“I’ll try,” said Shao Xuan, leaping off the tree .
The rest of the team looked at him . While they were not mocking him, they did not think it was a good idea .
“Do not underestimate the bone beast,” Tao Zheng said solemnly .
There were many animals who looked slow due to their large frame . However, they were powerful during a real fight .
“I know . ”
That bird was a fast one, yet the beast could catch it . He had witnessed its explosive strength . When it emerged from the sand, he had a general idea of its muscles and strength distribution in its body .
“I’ll go try . Don’t worry, I have a plan,” said Shao Xuan .
The rest of them were a little less worried when he said that . They wondered if he had other powers .
“Be careful . If it doesn’t work out, we will save you, then retreat,” said Tao Zheng .
“Mm . If I can’t handle it, I’ll tell you . Do not make brash decisions if I did not ask for help either,” said Shao Xuan .
Tao Zheng hesitated, then nodded . “Alright . ”

He passed his weapons to him but Shao Xuan refused .
“Thanks but I have mine too . ” Shao Xuan patten the pouch he carried then walked over to the river .
When he left, another guy asked, “Other than that short black knife, what else does he have with him?”
“I don’t know . ” Tao Zheng shook his head .
“That knifes made of stone, right?” another asked, worried .
Tao Zheng stopped them with a sigh . “We’ll have to wait and see . ”
As they watched Shao Xuan approach without making a sound, everyone was impressed . It really seemed like he was experienced in this .
Then, they saw Shao Xuan climb up a tall tree and stopped . Then, he tossed something, though not aiming directly at the beast .
Feign attack?
They all wondered if this was a feign attack . It was a good opportunity to learn . However, what happened next made their jaws drop .
Shao Xuan charged directly at the beast instead .
Tao Zheng almost had a heart attack . What fucking happened to ‘don’t worry’?!
