Chapter 243 - Arrival (1/2)
Edited by Ilesyt
Passing a plain, the team finally saw the endless green border in the distance.
On the border between the sky and the earth, there was a green strip.
Farther, there were some mountains.
The warriors hadn’t arrived at that place yet, but their eyes flashed. They felt familiar with it, and this feeling made them instantly become excited. They felt as if they came back to the other side of the river, where the mountains were dangerous. They recalled their fearful experiences, but they no longer feared. Now they were so excited that they wanted to jump up.
Of course, the reason they were very excited, part of it was because of the fire seed.
Getting closer and closer to the old land, the totem power in the warriors’ bodies surge and seemed to rush out.
“That, is that theFerocious Beast Mountain Forest?” The people looked at the green strip in the distance with a complicated feeling. The people of the Flaming Horns tribe were excited, but the wanderers were worried and dazed.
Ta!
Ta, ta, ta, tata...
It began to rain, and soon it rained heavily. Large raindrops fell down and hit the ground.
Because of the rain, the dust lifted from the dry floor. The air was filled with the smell of soil.
The sky quickly became dark, and the dark clouds were like a giant hand that was coming down. The green strip in the distance, in the eyes of wanderers, was like a mouth full of fangs, waiting for its prey.
Raising their heads, they saw the thick clouds and felt too tense to breathe. In the front, it was the famous Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest. The pouring rain seemed to been pouring straight into the hearts of some wanderers. They were still standing here, they did not want to retreat or go back.
The tribe, don’t know when, suddenly became solemn.
They no longer talked or laughed.
The emotions of the wanderers were also affected by their solemnness. They no longer felt anxious, and they miraculously calmed down.
At this moment, anyone who could walk got off the carriage, including the sick, the disabled, and the old, with others’ help.
The Shaman waved his hand to reject Gui Ze and jumped down from the carriage. He wore his new leather boots which were made in the rainy season of this year. The gray and white boots were stained with mud when he stepped on the ground.
The Shaman looked at the forest with mixed feelings.
Over the past nearly thousand years, generations had never been here. They finally returned here, in place of their ancestors.
“Let’s go.” The Shaman said.
TheFerocious Beast Mountain Forest was big. The route of the Flaming Horns tribe team did not include the location of the Wan Shi tribe, and they were a little far from it. So they did not see anyone of the Wan Shi tribe.
Even without Shao Xuan’s guidance, everyone of the Flaming Horns tribe could find the right direction by intuition.
Walking into the forest, they heard the sound of the raindrops hitting the leaves and the sound was louder than the noise made by some of the creatures in the surrounding area. The various smells in the air became faint thanks to the rain.
It didn’t stop raining. In the rain, they couldn’t see clearly. Many people simply could not see the situation in the remote forest, but it did not matter. They just followed the people in front.
The fire seed was placed inside the carriage, and its barrier had been removed by the Shaman.
The fire seed suddenly became powerful in the forest.
Ta, ta, ta, ta...
On the soft ground covered by leaves, stones and soil, there were numerous dead insects. Warriors carrying animal skin bags and their weapons walked in the muddy forest and each step left a deep footprint on the ground.
The raindrops from the sky washed the dense leaves at the top, dripping to the ground, and soon filled these pits of the footprints with water.
The people of the tribe continued to walk, except the disabled, the injured, and those who failed to keep up. Whenever some children, led by their parents, took a step, all kinds of humus and soil on the ground stained their ankles. Fortunately, their boots were long, so the insects in the mud just bit their fur.
Cutting off thin worms with suction cups from their feet with a knife, they continued to move forward.
