Chapter 533
Searching for the Green-Faced Fanged Beast
When they found out that the Rock Hill City was looking for the green-faced fanged beast, Ao and Zheng Luo couldn’t wait any longer.
To them, the green-faced fanged beast was equivalent to a weapon of higher rank. With this higher ranking weapon, the power of their tribe would be improved immensely. Who wouldn’t want a weapon like that?
Since the s.h.i.+ family of Rock Hill City sent people to look for the green-faced fanged beast in the Fearsome Beast Forest, did it really imply that the beast was here?
Not necessarily. But if there was a place on this land suitable for such a beast to exist, it was none other than Fearsome Beast Forest, because there weren’t many other large habitats suitable for it to live in.
Finding green-faced fanged beasts was certainly not easy. If it was, the s.h.i.+ family of Rock Hill City probably wouldn’t have sent so many people, not to mention the fact that they hired several skilled thieves to do the job.
“Do green-faced fanged beasts really exist in Fearsome Beast Forest? Then why hasn’t anyone from Rock Hill City found it after all these years?” Ta said.
“It might not be the case. Even if they found one, as long as they kept it to themselves, no one would know.” Ao expressed his opinion. “But if they didn’t, why would they keep their eyes on Fearsome Beast Forest? Rock Hill City has existed for almost a thousand years anyways.”
Several generations of rulers in Rock Hill City sent people to look for it. This meant that they had never given up on this forest. If it really wasn’t here, why would they be so persistent? Rock Hill City had too many secrets. If it were not for the battles that happened in the past two years, who would know what conspiracy they were up to? No one would even know about their real strength. Perhaps they still had more, maybe cards they hadn’t revealed.
“That’s true too. Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go look for it! I’ll be the first to join!” Duo Kang was excited.
“We’re not in a hurry,” Shao Xuan looked at the direction of the tribes that have previously settled outside the forest. “Those people aren’t done yet.”
Since the people from the Hui tribe expressed their intention to cooperate, the Flaming Horns would gladly do so too. No matter how arrogant they were, they shouldn’t think that they had the power to challenge several other tribes at the same time. So an alliance was good for them.
“Go tell Gu La to get ready. We will enter the forest,” Shao Xuan said.
“What if people from other tribes want to follow?” Gui He asked.
“Then let them show their sincerity!”
Among the people who came to Flaming Horn, there were actually two factions. One group supported the idea of abandoning the other tribes and joining forces with the Flaming Horn tribe. Another group believed that the Flaming Horn tribe was not worth their cooperation, because they had nothing other than their physical strength. Perhaps they may have some schemes, but they were still far behind the other tribes.
Nonetheless, they still chose to join forces with the Flaming Horns at the end. Their first reason for joining forces was because they wanted to unite with the other tribes, though their relations.h.i.+p with them was not the best. Many times they had to find out about news through their own means and they didn’t really receive any benefits. Secondly, they could no longer stand the overly cautious and hesitant behaviour of those people.
In recent years, the Hui tribe felt that something big might happen, and the Hui shaman also made a prediction during the sacrifice. He predicted that there might be a huge change coming. Although it was not certain when it would come, it was certainly not far away. This made it impossible for the Hui tribe who had just returned and were living fairly peacefully to calm down. If this change was so big that it could affect them, they definitely shouldn’t underestimate it. Unfortunately, their progress had brought nothing but disappointment. They couldn’t wait any longer.
On this day, a few people from the Hui tribe were arguing over their alliance with the Flaming Horns. Since the day Gu La went to look for Shao Xuan, the Flaming Horns had not given them a satisfactory answer. So many days have pa.s.sed and yet there was no news. Some of them began to worry. Haven’t you seen people from other tribes joking about them? They didn’t even want to leave their houses. They were afraid that once they went out, they would be surrounded by a circle of mocking faces.
Right when they were complaining, Gui He came over to look for them.
“Let’s clean up, we’ll be going into the forest soon.”
“Into the forest?!” Gu La burst into joy. When Gui He said going into the forest, he knew it wasn’t for hunting. They were looking for something!
“Do you guys already know what we are looking for?” He She asked uncertainly.
Gui He did not give them a direct answer but gave a broad smile that
As soon as Gui He left, the surrounding men from different tribes rushed back to the Hui tribe’s living headquarters and heard from them that they desired to follow the Flaming Horns into the forest. Hearing this, they could not sit still so they went to look for the chiefs of the Flaming Horns.
They did not believe that the Flaming Horns knew what Rock Hill City was looking for. All they wanted was for the Flaming Horns to lead the way so they could follow along. They have lived outside for a long time, and would surely experience discomfort if they enter the forest. They also knew that Fearsome Beast Forest wouldn’t give them time to adapt, so rus.h.i.+ng in without a plan would only cost them their lives. As for the “sincerity” that the Flaming Horns mentioned, they also knew what the Flaming Horns wanted. They wanted to collect a fee for leading the way. At least this was negotiable.
Thus, after listening to their people’s opinions, the three leaders went to meet Shao Xuan.
“A huge boat from the Longboat tribe, half a carload of jade from the Mang tribe, and a strong bow from the Eight Limbs tribe…”
After they finished speaking, Shao Xuan raised his eyebrows, “Make them double this amount.”
“What?!”
The three leaders were shocked. Even the two chiefs who had been listening next to them felt that Shao Xuan’s requirements were too high.
“Those people may not agree,” Zheng Luo said.
