Chapter 503 - Attempt (2/2)

“Some changes happened to our fire seed, you sensed it?” Shao Xuan was surprised. Lu tribe was quite far away.

“Of course we did! Not just us, the other tribes also know something happened to you all.” Many people had visited the Lu tribe, knowing they were close with Flaming Horn, to ask about it.

Shao Xuan guessed that people would be coming to their doorstep soon. In the past, the tribes weren’t on good terms with Flaming Horn but just for the fire seed, he feared that these people would insist on coming with their thick skins.

If they came to talk about the fire seed, what should they do?

Yan Jiu and Shao Xuan talked for hours before he left. They were also very annoyed by other tribes asking them. With their curiosity, they decided to visit. Yan Jiu knew he would not be told any of their secrets but he could sense a change. It felt as if their fire seed had disappeared, yet still existed. Just that its presence was faint.

The Flaming Horns were a weird bunch.

At least the Lu people were not too curious. They did not want to overthink this, just minding their own business. They did not like causing trouble. As long as this matter did not hurt them, they did not mind.

When Yan Jiu and his people left, Shao Xuan went to talk to both shamans about the fire seed. They had to talk about what they should say if these people came to their doorstep. While Flaming Horn could definitely shut themselves in and not entertain any visitors, these people would not give up that easily. He knew they would play all kinds of tricks. While he wasn’t afraid, he needed the tribe to be prepared. They did not want the tribe to be chaotic if this happened. Now that their tribe was larger, these matters should be announced beforehand.

However, Wans.h.i.+ and the gang of slave masters who escaped from the desert were also a threat. These people lived close by and did not have good intentions.

‘This nail should be pulled out as soon as possible,’ thought Shao Xuan as he clutched the knife in his hand.

Not just Shao Xuan, the two chiefs had already talked about it many times. It was just that Zheng Luo’s people were still not used to this place yet. Plus, after the merging of the fire seed, they weren’t in the best state for battle. They needed time.

After one or two hunts and training, they would all feel better. At that point, the complete Flaming Horn, the new Flaming Horn would have a place to test their new power— Wans.h.i.+ tribe and the gang of slave masters!

Days later, the first group of hunters after the merging returned.

They seemed to be doing well. They brought back lots of prey, it was a good hunt.

Duo Kang did not pay much attention. While he was competing against Gui He and Ta, he did not pay attention to the number of prey but looked out for the green-faced fanged beast that Shao Xuan mentioned.

When Shao Xuan looked at all the prey, his face twitched.

There was a huge pile of odd-looking goats, deer and cows… but none completely matched the beast’s characteristics.

To the other people, they thought the three hunt leaders probably had… odd interests.

“Shao Xuan, are these the one you’re looking for?” asked Duo Kang.

“None of them match the descriptions,” said Shao Xuan helplessly.

The three hunt leaders looked disappointed.

Duo Kang thought about it. “Must it be green-faced? Can’t it be red-faced? Or white-faced?”

“Actually, other fearsome beasts will work but that requires a Gongjia family’s secret technique, I have not seen anything about it. Plus the results might not be as good. But there is one animal that would be better than the green-faced fanged beast. I have seen that one before.”

“What is it?” The three craned their necks like a chicken about to be slaughtered.

“Stoneworm.”

“That’s great!” Ta grinned.

“Must be fearsome beast level or above,” said Shao Xuan.

Ta did not speak.

Most had not seen stoneworms of the fearsome beast level. If there was one, it would never break out of the ground’s surface either. It was impossible for them to keep digging just to look for one, was it? The worm would’ve probably left before they reached it. It was going to be very difficult.

The king beast ones were even worse. After meeting one king beast, Zheng Luo and the rest did not dare risk it. It was a suicide mission!

“… Let’s just continue searching for the green-faced beast. I refuse to believe that the forest does not contain one green-faced beast!” Duo Kang hurried off to the forging room, paying the prey no mind.

Gui He and Ta hurried over too. They were equally impatient for metal.

Shao Xuan mulled over this matter as they left. They didn’t have the green-faced beast, nor did they have fearsome-beast-level stoneworms. Were there other suitable animals? The Gongjia ancestors can’t have experimented with every type of animal in the world, right?
