Chapter 580 - A New Beginning (2/2)

One of the Drumming tribe warriors looked at the other bank and said, “I’ll bring more moon stone lights over and trade with them. Their things are so much better than Pu tribe’s.”

The others agreed. They always knew that the Pu tribe was cutting corners with their trades but the Drumming tribe wasn’t willing to travel further to trade. They had an excess of water moon stones so it didn’t really matter anyway. However, they now had a much better alternative, who wouldn’t choose that instead?

“What should be done about the floating bridge?” Fu s.h.i.+ asked Shao Xuan.

“Keep it here for now,” replied Shao Xuan.

“Sure thing, let me tie it again.” Fu s.h.i.+ went around to tighten the loose logs on the bridge.

Shao Xuan bade them farewell and crossed the river.

It was already dark out, too late for them to be constructing their new homes. Luckily, the weather had been nice recently so to the people of the Flaming Horn tribe who had been through so much hards.h.i.+p, this was a piece of cake.

Some of the children had already laid out their sleeping bags on the ground. They knew this place very well, the sense of familiarity allowed them to sleep well that night.

The shamans called Shao Xuan over to discuss the placements for the wanderers. In the end, they decided to give them the nearby hill. There wasn’t much vegetation on the hill but there were a lot of caves which were like small houses. The warriors used them to rest when they trained on the hill last time.

The wanderers were grateful for the land, they were exhausted so they didn’t have any strength to build houses. The Flaming Horn tribe warriors still had to a.s.sign tasks to search the area for beasts.

After walking around the area, Shao Xuan decided to rest for the day. The house he and Old Ke used to live in had fallen in. Caesar laid at what remained of the door as Old Ke yawned immediately after resting his back on Caesar. Chacha was off to somewhere no one knew.

Shao Xuan laid out his animal skin and closed his eyes. This was one of the rare chances he actually got a good night’s rest.

The next day, Shao Xuan skipped breakfast to check on the floating bridge right after he woke up.

The bridge had sunk in a little. After flipping over some logs, Shao Xuan saw some weird bugs with long antennae attached to the logs that were causing it to sink.

They were close to dying. Their bodies lacked elasticity and they just seemed lifeless.

With the large river gone, the ecosystem had been severely disrupted. Those that could leave had left, the rest that remained were just waiting for death.

Maybe after some time, there wouldn’t be any bugs to eat logs in the river anymore.

Many of the usual river beasts were nowhere to be found. This was good news to the humans though, they had one less problem to worry about.

The people of the Flaming Horn tribe had once again returned to their land, but they would operate differently now. They would no longer live in seclusion. This time, they wanted to go out to trade, to connect with people- all that was just a river log-bridge away.
