Shi Mu stopped moving his blade. He then raised his arm, and hung the blade back on his shoulder. A faint curve appeared on the corners of his mouth as he examined the boulder from top-to-bottom a number of times.
The Crow Horn Tribe had joined hands with the Fierce Snake Tribe in order to get rid of their common enemy – Shi Mu. Therefore, Shi Mu didn’t care if this matter came into the light. In fact, he wanted to see who would be more frightened once this matter was exposed.
Shi Mu then tried and found his David’s Deer outside the camp. He tore-off the shattered cloth, and tied up the boulder on its body with it. He then hugged its neck, and caressed it a few times.
The David’s Deer seemed to have understood Shi Mu’s unsaid words. It issued a "moo… moo" sound a few times. It then rubbed its furry head against Shi Mu’s body. It looked as if it was reluctant to part with him.
