I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1924 - 1316: The Madman (Part 2)

The ’Young Man’ may not understand the exact reason, but he knows the person who brought the news specifically told him about it, and that person believes he has seen the powerful figure.

In the ’Young Man’s’ memory, before this hunting expedition, the powerful figure had gone mad six times, with intervals ranging from several years to over a decade.

He sought out the figure and even found him, but every time he saw him, he had a deep impression. However, after leaving, the memory of the figure’s appearance and voice seemed to dissipate with the wind.

This is the reason people around him think he’s ’senile’. Of course, this is a joke. In reality, the people around him hope he doesn’t get himself killed for no reason.

Although the powerful figure has no tales of brutality, when he goes mad, it’s earth-shattering and too dangerous, so don’t go looking for him just to chat.

But the ’Young Man’ didn’t think so. He believes the powerful figure is quite lonely. Although he curses and searches for something when mad, this process never causes any casualties.

He understands that while the Thunderstorm Area seems dangerous and people are afraid to approach it, conquering the terror brought by the fury of nature reveals that the area is quite safe, and even small animals aren’t much affected.

Of course, many small animals would be frightened into fainting.

The ’Young Man’ believes the mad powerful figure is absolutely kind, even if he only has a few words to describe him.

The elder sighed in melancholy. If the ’Young Man’ in front of him were the elder, he would be fuming with anger right now, but his appearance is too young, even though he’s his grandpa, there is no sense of authority at all.

It’s been like this for decades, many people envied him, but his grandpa’s uniqueness is unparalleled. Although his descendants are more gifted, they age slower, but not like his grandpa.

Take him for example; he appears as an elder because he has a beard and dyed his beard and hair. Without the beard, he just looks like a middle-aged man.

"Grandpa, aren’t you thinking of going to have a look?"

"No, no, this time he seems especially angry, I better not go."

The ’Young Man’ shook his head. The roaring of the thunderstorm contained fury, stronger than any he remembered. Maybe the powerful figure found the person he’s pursuing?

Although the place where that figure has been active hasn’t changed over the years, he believes the powerful figure’s search has never ceased.

No one knows who offended such an entity, causing him to remember it so persistently.

"Moreover, isn’t someone from that academy coming?"

The Young Man’s ’great-great-great-grandson’ is studying at that academy. The tribe has contact with the city, but people here never thought of migrating there; there’s no need.

Materials obtained from hunting here are purchased by people from big cities; development here is not worse than those places.

"Yes, a new year’s student selection." The elder nodded, ever since the family who had designs on his grandpa was wiped out, there have always been outsiders coming to their tribe. Some of these outsiders want to explore the deep mountains.

They try to find adventures; some leave empty-handed and are lucky to return, while some never come back. During hunts, they often find some relics.

The tribe has a special place to store these relics, and every year many come to collect them, helping them earn considerable income through this ’business’.

"Let’s see how many of these young ones get selected this time." The ’Young Man’ shook his head, muttering: "Honestly, each year those coming for selection are prettier than before."

His words made the elder want to retort, but claiming each year prettier was a bit exaggerated. However, nothing was wrong with what his grandpa said; initially, they thought all women in big cities were like this.

Then those with clever minds realized what was going on—all these were coming for his ’grandpa’!

With his grandpa’s looks, who would believe he’s their grandpa elsewhere?

"Grandpa, aren’t you going to take a look this time?"

"Yes, but this selection won’t end quickly." The ’Young Man’ glanced towards the thunderstorm area; even from afar, just a slight look chilled one’s spine.

He pondered and said: "Forget it, since the figure’s mad again, I’ll take you over to have a look."

"Ah?" Not just the elder, others in the team couldn’t help but show horrified expressions: "Xiyun boss, don’t be like this!"

The ’Young Man’ might have the highest status among everyone, yet his identity in the tribe is no secret, and he’s easygoing. In public, calling him grandpa is inappropriate, so they directly call him ’Xiyun boss’.

"What shouldn’t I do? Just follow me; this is a rare opportunity. I’m not letting you go directly inside, just feel it nearby, it’s beneficial!" Xiyun snorted coldly: "Don’t be inferior to those little girls!"

There are females in the hunting team because they rely on these mountains and the tribal folks are hardy, unlike some delicate women in big cities.

"Alright, let’s hurry up. We’ve heard so much from grandpa about that powerful figure, now we can finally get close and take a look." The elder, looking at his grandpa in slight annoyance, quickly cooperated.

He wasn’t worried about his grandpa harming tribe people, because even he as a grandson couldn’t understand how strong his grandpa is presently. A few years back, the academy’s principal came personally, showing respect to his grandpa.

If his grandpa wanted to harm people, would he need to do all this extra?

"Be efficient; we don’t have much time. We go now and return tonight."

Xiyun looked towards the distant lightning storm area with reminiscence in his eyes. He always appreciated the powerful figure and never thought of exploiting him.

Sometimes he even took the initiative to clear problematic people to ensure the powerful figure’s peace.

After all, after going mad like this, wouldn’t you want them to be peaceful when not mad?

Even bringing people over to see, is merely to experience that ’might’, to temper the tribe’s will, without staying too long.

The elder nodded, their hunting generally lasts from one day to three to five days.

Specific time depends on the locale, this hunt was planned for two days, but his grandpa had spoken, and the elder understood the reason.

The academy’s representatives were arriving soon, and with that figure mad again, they would surely hurry.

These hunters should also return sooner, since his grandpa didn’t wish for any troublesome people to disturb the powerful figure.

As they neared the storm area, the distant and close roars became clearer, within these roars were amusing insults resonating with them.

"Isn’t the powerful figure’s knowledge... profound?" someone in the team suppressed nervousness, trying to discuss a lighter topic. Of course, he dared not insult the figure’s low quality, to curse with such variety that it can only be made by frequent pondering.

"Indeed, very impressive." Another strong man nodded sincerely, full of survival instincts.

"Stop with the nonsense; soon you’ll feel the powerful figure’s pressure nearby. Braver individuals may try those falling lightning bolts."

"Ah?" Again, someone was shocked: "Xiyun boss, is this appropriate?"

"Of course it’s appropriate, I’ve been struck several times myself; though painful, it’s not fatal. At least, without malice, it won’t be fatal."

He tested it himself on those with ulterior motives.

"Grandpa, if there’s such benefit, then why..."

"Shut up!" Xiyun glared at his grandson: "I only discovered this in the last two trials."

The elder fell silent; his grandpa said ’two recent times’, but these ’two times’ spanned over thirty years...
