Chapter 482 - Team King City (2/2)
The person on the cus.h.i.+on pointed in a direction. “There, the Flaming Horn tribe is still in the forest. They haven’t stopped.”
“What the h.e.l.l are they planning?!” The girl slumped dejectedly, cupping her cheek as she looked in the direction he pointed. Yi Zong was one of the best in divination from the Yi family, no one doubted his readings.
“Do you think they’re afraid of us? So they panicked and moved. Maybe they are looking for a new place to settle down. These tribesmen like to hide in the forest though,” remarked another young man in the carriage.
The dense forest had a complicated terrain. Trees were dense and there were all sorts of venomous insects, fearsome beasts, king beasts etc. No one would be stupid enough to attack them inside. That was why they told interested parties about Yi Zong’s divination results. As long as the Flaming Horn exited the forest, they would kill the tribesmen immediately!
It’s best if they could corner the Flaming Horns to a secluded, far place. Let other people chip away at their manpower, then they’d finish the tribe in the end.
Fire crystals? Salt? Based on Flaming Horn’s personality, they would not give them away so easily. They’d definitely keep it close. Maybe robbers would get a little. They would not regret much if robbers got to their salt and crystals first. Their goal was just the people. These people just wanted to improve their reputations through this Flaming Horn matter!
Ever since the fire seed vanished, the power of the tribes became less concentrated. Many wanderers appeared. These people from various tribes might band together due to interest or hobbies, forming a new type of power. These people were often professional robbers or a.s.sa.s.sins. Just like the famous robber group, Qingfeng, or the famous hired a.s.sa.s.sins- Night Tribe.
When there was a huge reward present, they became hungry wolves sniffing out their prey.
“Are the Flaming Horns that scary?”
“I know about this. When the Flaming Horn guy slammed the Lu family head into the air, I was sitting in the city gate’s tower. At the time…”
He described what happened. “I heard our ancestors had always wanted to destroy Flaming Horn. They just always hid in the forest and in the end, they were forgotten. This matter would be remembered again every time Flaming Horn causes trouble in the city.”
“I heard the Flaming Horn people can command the king beast? Is it true?” asked the girl.
“You believe that?!”
“Why not? Don’t they all say that? No way, I’ve got to question the Fox chief,” said the girl as she pulled apart the curtains and gave an instruction to the people outside. Soon, the Fox chief, who was in the carriage behind, was called over.
The Fox chief was uncomfortable as he stepped into the carriage. He used to be a tribe’s chief, he was practically king. However, now that they were taken in by King City, he still felt inferior to these young aristocrats. These were the elites of their generation too.
“How do you do,” greeted the Fox chief, suppressing his nerves.
“You’re the Fox chief? I heard you all were slaughtered by Flaming Horn?” asked the girl.
The Fox chief’s head throbbed. Slaughtered?! Didn’t he bring a whole group of Fox tribesmen to the city? Weren’t they people? Also, why did she sound so condescending? Does she look down on us?
He clenched his fist and sighed, holding back his anger. “Flaming Horn, is very dangerous.”
As he spoke, he recited his script. The details relating to the king beast were vague, making it sound like the Flaming Horn tribesmen could really command the king beast.
“Alright, I understand. You may go.” The girl waved him away like she was swatting at a fly.
He took a deep breath and leapt out of the carriage.
When he left, she frowned. “He’s lying!”
“I told you the Flaming Horns aren’t as scary as the rumours tell. They’re just exaggerated for the sake of sparking anger against them. As for the incident at the city gate, it must be some secret technique. That Shao Xuan guy shouldn’t be that strong.” The young man leaned sideways, crossing his arms. “So what if the Fox chief is lying? As long as we obtain our goals.”
Whoos.h.!.+
The sound of fluttering wings could be heard outside the carriage.
The people inside perked up and opened the curtains. A striped bird flew in. There was a thin leather scroll on its claw.
They opened the scroll carefully and read it.
After reading, Yi Zong said, “Qingfeng failed. They’ve given Flaming Horn’s location to the Night Tribe.”
