Chapter 230 - Night slaughter (1/2)

Edited by Ilesyt

The arrival of the Flaming Horns tribe caused the people of the Drumming tribe, who were laden with tension and anxiety, to become very relieved. At least, they were not alone in the upcoming battle and would feel more at ease with a helper.

After the two chiefs exchanged ideas with each other, they started to build houses in an area with fewer ponds. After all, not everyone liked living on a pond. Fan Mu took this into consideration and decided to use that area after discussions with Ao.

That area was a little bit far away from the habitat of the Drumming tribe. No one walked there except the patrolling groups. That was what Ao wanted.

Even if it was the cooperation between the two tribes, precautions against each other were necessary, as both were not that acquainted to stay together without any defense. Moreover, that area was closer to the branch where they were docked.

It not only resolved the housing problem, but also kept a distance both agreed on. Certainly no one rejected this decision.

With the assistance of the people of the Drumming tribe, they worked fast on the construction. On the second day, many houses appeared in the forest overgrown with weeds. Although those houses were simple and crude, people of the Flaming Horns tribe didn’t care, as they were not here for a long stay. After the issues of the Drumming tribe were resolved, they would have to leave.

The old, the women, and children were still settled on the boat, where it was relatively safer. When someone invaded, the people of the Flaming Horns tribe would also try their best to stop the invaders from getting on board.

“Shao Xuan!”

Shao Xuan was clearing up the trees and bushes around the newly built temporary residence and setting up some alarm traps. He looked up when he heard someone calling his name.

It’s been two years since he saw Chen Jia the last time. Chen Jia obviously grew taller and gained an a scar on his face like a cut from a blade.

“What happened? ” Shao Xuan pointed to the scar on Chen Jia’s face.

“This scar?” Chen Jia smiled, saying proudly, “I got it in the Water Moon Festival last year.”

Every year there would be lots of troubles in the Drumming tribe during the Water Moon Festival. Last year, Chen Jia joined in the defensive battle and got wounded. It was then when he gained the scar on his face.

While smiling, Chen Jia became depressed: “This year my father doesn’t allow me to join in the battle.”

Because of the message they got, the people of the Drumming tribe were on the highest alert. Unless there was no other way, they would not let these young kids join in the battle, as these young people in the middle of growth would be the hope of the tribe in the future in case any accidents happened to the warriors who are participating.

Young warriors were always ready to share their glory with others.

After finishing his stories, Chen Jia looked around. Seeing no one watching them, he asked in a low voice: “Shao Xuan, do people of your tribe usually dress up like this?” Chen Jia gesticulated on his head, his neck and his body.

“Not quite. We only dress up in this way on important dates.” Shao Xuan replied.

So, it means the Flaming Horns tribe attaches much weight on his own tribe? Chen Jia felt pleased in his heart. He decided to tell everyone this finding when he returned.

“By the way, Shao Xuan, where are your animal skin clothes?” Chen Jia looked around inside the room. When he saw the people of the Flaming Horns tribe before, he never took his eyes off the unknown animal skin and various ornaments, as well as those big teeth on the people of the Flaming Horns tribe, which made him dumbfounded!

But Chen Jia was not acquainted with the others of the Flaming Horns tribe, so he had to come to Shao Xuan, wanting to see the clothes in the style of the Flaming Horns tribe, so that he could brag to others after returning.

“I only brought one with me, I put in the wooden box inside. The rest are on the boat.” Shao Xuan pointed to the wooden box on the right at the corner.

These were sent by Caesar early this morning at the request of old Ke: two boxes, one with daily necessities and clothes, and the other with the clothes made of fur of the Thorn Black Wind, which was enlarged. Old Ke was afraid that Shao Xuan had nothing to “show off”.

“May I take a look?” Chen Jia asked with expectations.

“Sure.”

Chen Jia ran to the front of the wooden box with joy, opening the box.

“Wow~~!” Chen Jia curiously touched the clothes with the long thorns. Except the crocodiles, they only saw some wild animals in daily life, he really never saw any animal like this with so many long thorns.

While Chen Jia was watching the clothes made of fur of the Thorn Black Wind with shining eyes, Shao Xuan also tried to make conversations and asked him about the approaching battle.

Don’t belittle these rebellious kids who always caused trouble. What they know was not necessarily less than the adults. There were close contacts between Chen Jia and the other kids.

“Apart from the Martyr tribe, the Jian tribe is probably also coming, also an extremely dangerous tribe.” Chen Jia said.

“Jian tribe?”

“Yes. One of my friends overheard that. But the Jian tribe is near the central region and seldom comes here. Whether they will really come here is uncertain.”

While listening, Shao Xuan was changing the positions of the threads in his hand, thinking to himself, that there really would be many people coming over for the water moonstones this time, and all were hardy enemies. Probably someone from the central region also interfered.

No wonder that people of the Drumming tribe were so desperate before.

The Flaming Horns tribe has to be more cautious.
