Chapter 214 - The decision (1/2)

Edited by Ilesyt

Shao Xuan’s return changed the atmosphere in the tribe again.

Some people in the tribe had doubts, but now they had faith and looked forward to it.

In the morning.

Shao Xuan walked out, felt the sunshine from the sky, and stretched.

“The soup is ready, and the meat is beint roasted. Before you go up the mountain, drink the soup and eat the meat.” Old Ke said in the house. He had prepared the food early in the morning and then started grinding the stone tools.

“Ok.” Shao Xuan replied. Thanks to a night of rest, all his tiredness caused by the trip disappeared, and he was energetic now. He hadn't so slept well for a long time.

Yesterday he had promised the Shaman that today he would go up the mountain to discuss with them. Then Shao Xuan quickly took down the meat which was already roasted well and poured a bowl of soup.

After eating the meat and drinking the soup, he felt especially pleased as his stomach was full.

“Undoubtedly, ferocious beast meat is more delicious.” Shao Xuan wiped his mouth, said goodbye to old Ke, and then went up the mountain.

In the past year, the Shaman had contributed to narrowing the gap between those living up the mountain and those at the foot of the mountain so they got much closer. The previous division had become blurred.

The Shaman said if they wanted to go back, they had to be one group. Outside the tribe, every one of them was a members of the Flaming Horns tribe, and there was no top of the mountain or the mountainfoot.

Perhaps, there were still many people who didn't understand and had the old mindset. Even the team leaders and many others couldn't change their thinking in a short time before leaving.

When going up the mountain, Shao Xuan was seen by many people who wanted to ask him question, but they knew that Shao Xuan was going to visit the Shaman. So they could only say hello to him and then watch him climb the mountain helplessly.

When he arrived there, no one stopped him, so he didn't need to take out the Shaman's plate. People in the mountain saw Shao Xuan and their eyes flashed. Even those old people who always put on airs now looked kind.

When Shao Xuan walked into the house, the Shaman was alone, for others had just left.

They didn't sleep for a whole night, so the Shaman was tired. But his eyes were full of excitement. He also read the roll written by the shaman of the Drumming tribe and also learned about the cooperation discussed between that tribe and Shao Xuan.

“Well done!” Said the Shaman.

If another man was spoken highly by the Shaman, he would be very excited. But now it was Shao Xuan who was admired and sitting in front of him.

Shao Xuan calmly sat down opposite the table and said, “So, your and the chief’s decision is?”

His answer was what Shao Xuan expected.

Last night, at the top of the mountain, they had discussed about this for a whole night and made an initial decision. Then, they would do everything possible to prepare for the return to the old land.

They might prepare for a year or two, maybe longer. After all, they had been here for nearly one thousand years since the ancestors came here. One generation after another, this group of the Flaming Horns tribe settled here and produced offspring.

There was no doubt that they would return. Their ancestors and everyone who knew the “old land” had always been obsessed with it. Old He had told Shao Xuan that the root of their tribe was still there. They had to go back.

Undoubtedly they could also bring their “root” here in other ways, but no one in the tribe was willing to do that, because “old land” had left a deep impression on them when they had heard of it for the first time.

“You mean, all of the tribe will move there?” Shao Xuan asked.

“Everyone.” The Shaman said firmly.

Wherever the fire seed is, the tribe should also be there.

If the tribe migrated, the fire seed would naturally be taken along.

As long as the fire seed was taken along, everyone in the tribe had to leave there. Without the fire seed, they couldn't live in peace there because the ferocious beasts in the surrounding area would come to them gradually.

The fire seed could deter the ferocious beasts, which could not be underestimated.

This was also true in the old land. Just the underground fire veins alone could make ferocious beasts rarely appear there.

“What about this place?” Shao Xuan asked. To be honest, Shao Xuan felt nostalgia for this place. Compared to the other side of the river, this place was really quite peaceful.

There were always disputes among people. Usually, more complex things happened besides robbery and murder. Would those who had lived here since childhood adapt to the life there? This really worried Shao Xuan.

“Here is our escape!”

The Shaman was standing near the window and looking in the distance.

“If we cannot survive in the old land, we will return here again. We can build up our strength and then go back when we are strong enough!”

The Shaman had made up his mind, probably because it was his duty to carry out what the ancestors had said.

“The exchanges with other tribes will promote the development of our civilization. This is good.” However, the temperament of the people in the tribe was too straight and had to be refined.

The Shaman looked in the direction of the river and said, “We will go and we will naturally get used to it.”

If we fail, we can just do as he just said. We can come back to build up our strength and make more preparations.
