Chapter 229 - Should not be silen (1/2)

Edited by Ilesyt

They had prepared for the battle, and hearing the whistle made them nervous. They heard the cry of an eagle, so they became very worried. And they soon confirmed it because they saw the chief, the shaman, and a group of people behind the chief rush to the bank of the river.

“Maybe…”

Fu Shi who was patrolling looked very surprised.

“Buddy, I have to leave for a moment.” Fu Shi said to the man beside him and ran to the river bank.

Left at home and sharpening a blade, Chen Jia, on hearing the cry of the eagle, rushed to the river bank while holding the sword. He was very familiar with the cry for he had often heard it.

Chief Fan Mu led many people to the river bank while looking for the eagle in the air.

“Shao Xuan!” Fan Mu said with happiness. He did not expect Shao Xuan to come here, but now he could ask Shao Xuan whether he could ask the Flaming Horns tribe.

“Chief, chief, look!” The man next to Fan Mu hit him with the elbow. He was so excited that he hit him very hard. He normally wouldn’t have dared to do so, but now he didn’t pay any attention to such a detail.

Fan Mu was about to ask him. He looked down, saw what was happening on the river. and suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Besides Fan Mu, everyone that rushed to see the scene were shocked.

On the river far from them, ships were approaching.

Those ships were not better than those of the Longboat tribe, but for the members of the Drumming tribe, they were the best ships they had ever seen, especially the three in the front.

“They are... members of the Longboat tribe?” Seeing the fleet, the people thought so at once.

“No, no!”

“That’sthe Flaming Horns tribe!”

The man who shouted next to him was so excited that his voice was shaking.

Although the ships were still far away from them, those with good eye sight could vaguely see the pattern painted on the sail, which looked like Shao Xuan’s totem pattern of the Flaming Horns tribe.

The Flaming Horns tribe. It was said that Shao Xuan had a good relationship with their tribe. Did the Flaming Horns tribe get the news and came to help them?

If so, that was really good!

What good news! When everyone around them was avoiding them and they thought they had to confront with the enemies alone and suffered a lot, that tribe came to help them.

On the other side, people on board found they were getting closer and closer to the river bank.

“Finally, we are here.”

“Are they the members of the Drumming tribe?!”

“Did they come to welcome us? So many people!”

“Tuo, look at me. How about the horn on my head?”

“Hey, wasn’t it said that there are crocodiles? The crocodiles, where are the crocodiles?”

People on board were chatting fervently.

“Hey!” Ao glanced at them.

Everyone stopped talking, raised their heads, straightened their backs, and showed the largest tooth of their bone necklaces.

Everyone wanted to show the Drumming tribe their best, because this was the first other tribe they had ever seen.

Ao managed to keep his image as a majestic chief, but his palms sweated so he had to wipe the sweat off his palms with his animal skin coat.

The Shaman kept his typical “Shaman Smile” and looked very calm. Those that didn’t know much about him would think the old man was very calm.

Chacha arrived there first and circled in the air for a while. It didn’t land until the chief of the Drumming tribe and the chaman got there.

Close to the ground, Shao Xuan released his hand holding the eagle claw, fell to the ground and stood firmly.

“Everyone, long time no see.” Shao Xuan looked at those of the Drumming tribe people and said with a smile.

“Shao Xuan!”

“Shao Xuan, you got taller!”

“Are you coming to help us?”

“Shao Xuan, those behind you are members of your tribe?”

Fan Mu knocked against those jostling and held back his excitement and joy. He said to Shao Xuan,“Long time no see, welcome to the Drumming tribe again.”

“Yes, our tribe is ready to go back to the old land. This time we need to go past your tribe. Sorry to bother you.” Shao Xuan said.

In the Drumming tribe, there were several tributaries flowing into the river, one of which was quite wide. The water level there had not dropped yet, so the ships could sail on it to go through this area.

“No problem.” Fan Mu agreed without hesitation, but then he glanced at the shaman. Then he said to Shao Xuan, “I will greet them in person.”

Shao Xuan noticed the talk between the two leaders of the Drumming tribe and knew that they kept something secret. The Drumming tribe was about to get some the water moonstones so he guessed they were talking about it.

Finished talking with Fan Mu, Shao Xuan once again returned to the ship, and told Fan Mu’s reply and his thoughts to the Shaman and Ao.
