The chief and the Shaman had ordered them to dig a big lake, so everyone tried their best. When those hunting warriors went out, some stayed in the tribe to dig, and even some disabled people helped. In the tribe many women without awakened totem power also gave a hand.
After the first hunt, when Shao Xuan returned to the tribe, they had made a hole covering an area of more than four hundred square meters. They continued digging.
At the foot of mountain, some children from the cave were helping cooking fish soup.
A twenty-meter-long wooden s.h.i.+p was placed there, and Yan Zhi and the others were busy filling its gap.
This was only the first s.h.i.+p they tested, and there were another two bigger s.h.i.+ps next to it, which had not yet been built.
Shao Xuan picked up the tools to help them.
“How is everything going on?” Shao Xuan asked.
“Before the rainy season, we can finish building three s.h.i.+ps. Then we can test them first.” If they succeeded, they would try to make a bigger one.
As the Shaman said, the s.h.i.+ps they built concerned everyone in the tribe. If the s.h.i.+ps were not good enough, they would break and the water would fill them if they were hit by the fish on the journey. If so, they could do nothing but cry.
“How about the hunt?” Jiao Wu could not help but ask.
“Not bad.” Shao Xuan followed the advance team to the green land this time. This time in the green land they found some kind of curling plant, they also hunted a lot on the way. These satisfied them.
“We have to go hunting next time.” Jiao Wu said.
“Yes, but the time after next.” Shao Xuan said.
Yan Zhi and the others, like most of the new warriors, did not follow the hunting team for the first two hunts. They would do that at the third hunt. Yan Zhi and the others were different from other new warriors, so they would certainly be protected at that time.
“When we leave, you should pay more attention to what happens here.” Yan Zhi told Shao Xuan.
“Don’t worry.”
Yan Zhi and the others went hunting at a different time from Shao Xuan’s. They did so to ensure that one of them would supervise the s.h.i.+pbuilding for they did not trust others.
The men of the Flaming Horns tribe dug a hole as big as a lake. The hole was large enough to accommodate all the s.h.i.+ps of the Longboat tribe’s fleet, but the warriors were not satisfied it. If there were not the mountains in the surrounding area, they would dig a bigger one.
When the rainy season came, the hole would begin to store water. After the end of the rainy season, when there were no wood-eating insects in the river, they could divert the water from the river into the hole.

From the lake to the river, they dug a nearly ten-meter-wide waterway, so the s.h.i.+p could move from the lake to the river.
With the advice and guidance of Shao Xuan, they built a floodgate near the mouth of the river, which would be closed except for the end of the rainy season.
“We have the lake and the waterway, and we just wait for the arrival of the rainy season.” When it rained, they could divert the water from the river into the lake.
“Unfortunately, this year, we cannot go back.” Lang Ga looked at the lake and waterway and said, “If there weren’t insects in the river, we would not spend so much time in digging a hole and instead we could just test the s.h.i.+ps in the river.”
“Ok, we just have to wait and return there next year, probably.”
When the people in the Flaming Horns tribe were busy, on the other side of the river, the chief ofthe Wan s.h.i.+ tribe was walking with a large number of people in the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest to their old haunt.
This time, the number of people he brought was nearly one third of that of his tribe. Because of the ferocious beasts and dangerous plants in the forest, a lot of warriors died or got injured. However, they eventually found the old haunt of the Flaming Horns tribe.
Using a knife to scratch away the moss and vines on the stone, Fu Ji,the Wan s.h.i.+ tribe chief, with blood on his body, looked at the engraved stones in the woods, and gently read, “The Flaming Horns tribe?”
Then he laughed with disdain, and said with contempt to the shaman who came towards him, “Is this what you are concerned of? This tribe has been extinct.”
The Wan s.h.i.+ shaman was silent.
Fu Ji smiled but his face suddenly became frightening. He punched the big stone which was engraved with the words.
Bang!
On the hard stone, there was a hole as big as a fist. The stone which had firmly stood on the ground was knocked down by his great strength and rolled far away from them.
Ignoring the stone rolling away, Fu Ji continued to lead his men forward.
It was not long before they arrived at the ruins.
The people of the Wan s.h.i.+ tribe had known that a tribe had existed here, but that tribe had disappeared, and only ruins had remained. Later, the successive chiefs did not pay any attention to the ruins in the forest. As the forest expanded, the ruins and surrounding areas became more and more dangerous for them. That was why they seldom went there.
The ruins had seen a historical event causing a huge change. The members of that tribe had lived here. As the tribe waned, none of its member stayed here, so this tribe was considered to be extinct.
Although the surrounding area was full of vitality in the current season, each person standing in front of the ruins felt it was desolated. It was like an old man who stripped and exposed his scarred body.
Glory or obscurity, everything had happened several thousands years ago, they were no longer important. Except for the people of the Flaming Horns tribe of course.
