Chapter 247 - Go ou (1/2)

Edited by Ilesyt

On the evening when the fire seed was lit, no one knew how many people were sleepless. They didn't know and never thought about what the other tribes thought and they just did what the Shaman and the chief asked them to do.

The fire seed was lit again in the old land and each of them felt their totem power was strengthened, which was a good change.

On that evening, another seven were promoted as senior totem warriors, which surprised the Shaman and the chief. Those seven hadn't made any breakthroughs after absorbing the energy of the fire crystals. Unexpectedly, they succeeded now.

Many in the tribe said they realized the dream of their ancestors thanks to the return of the fire seed to the old land. Shao Xuan still felt that the fire seed was incomplete, though it looked more powerful.

The fire seed had been divided in two halves and only one half was at the old land. The Shaman didn't tell them about this. He didn't know where the other half was and couldn't feel it.

In the early morning, Shao Xuan got up and had planned to build the house for Old Ke first. But he was asked to go to visit the Shaman before he started building it.

Near the fire pit, there was an incomplete stone house which was built for the Shaman. They could the build others' houses later, but they should take the building of the Shaman's house as a priority. The warriors building that house didn't sleep for a whole night. They didn't feel tired. Instead, they were still excited.

When Shao Xuan got there, over thirty people were already there.

”Uncle Mai, why did the Shaman ask us to com here?” Shao Xuan asked in a low voice.

”For picking up the wanderers.” Mai replied.

”Really?” Shao Xuan had thought the Shaman would send people to pick them up after almost finishing building all the houses.

They had gotten along with many wanderers, so they understood their strength and capability. They were stronger than those not awakened yet, but inferior to the totem warriors. The Shaman hoped that they could pick up as many wanderers as possible.

After the ritual ceremony last night, the Shaman and the chief had been discussing about this and finally agreed on the list of the warriors who would go to pick them up.

Shao Xuan glanced at those asked to come here. He was familiar with those surrounding Mai, they were the members of his hunting group. It seemed that they would go out in teams.

All asked to come here had arrived. Then Ao asked them to come to a place where there was a wooden pillar and several broken stones next to it.

Ao drew ten copies. About five hundred warriors in total were ordered to come here, and every fifty formed a team. Each team would be led by a former hunting group leader with a map.

The routes were highlighted on the roll. Each team would follow one.

Ao arranged for them to take on the tasks and told each team briefly about its route. The tribes on the routes were highlighted. Perhaps some were missed, but the important ones were marked.

“Ah-Xuan, you go with Mai and the others. Bring them to the grasslands to pick up the wanderers. You have been there and you are more familiar with that place.” Ao said.

“Ok.” Shao Xuan thought of the old man who sang the Hunting Song on the mountain. He wondered whether the wanderers on the grassland had set out and when they would meet.

After telling them their tasks, Ao let them to go back to prepare for their trip. They would set out tomorrow. The ten team leaders were asked to stay there, for Ao had something to tell them. When they would go out, the ten team leaders would be in charge of their teams and they had to know more.

Having just been here for a short time, they hadn’t become used to living here. They used to focus on hunting while going out. But now they had to be alert, because people were often more dangerous than the ferocious beasts. At the same time, they had to adapt to the new rules.

“Ah-Xuan, you stay here.” Ao said.

Ao didn’t know as much about the situation here as Shao Xuan.

In fact, Shao Xuan didn’t know much about it. He just heard about it a lot and drew some conclusions. According to what Yang Sui had told him, he guessed the relations of different tribes and some famous figures.

After talking to the team leaders, Ao let the team leaders leave, but Shao Xuan still stayed there.

“Is there something else?” Ao asked with confusion.
