Chapter 374 (1/2)

Do You Remember Us?

Duo Kang brought the horn with him everywhere he went. It was a gift to them from a person from a small tribe from within the forest a few hundred years ago. That tribe specialised in art and craft, especially making carvings like this cornucopia horn out of horns and bones. Even the slave masters might not own one of these.

The leader of the hunting party at the time had received this horn as a gift. Due to its extraordinary sound, which sounded like the roar of a ferocious forest predator, they did not use it often. There were stories of animals keeping their distance after hearing its roar.

While the horn was not large, it was of good quality. It had been a few hundred years but other than a few scratches, there was little wear and tear. It was not used often since there were other tools like wooden and skin whistles used for hunting. In the end, this horn was used only for emergencies that were very serious, passed down from leader to leader.

Since Duo Kang took over as the leader of the hunting party, the tribe had been peaceful. There were minor issues but they did not involve the entire village so there was no need for the horn. Yet, he now held the horn in his hand.

Woooo----

The black horn as big as his palm unleashed a deafening roar, breaking the tranquillity of the village.

Many people were busy cleaning the prey hunted that day. When they heard the call, most did not know what was going on. Only the older members that had experienced a call under the leadership of the previous leader knew how to react.

They had not heard this sound in many years, many were in disbelief, wondering if they had made a mistake. However, everyone had a solemn expression. They were all pale, wondering if the call was truly from the special horn. Then it sounded again.

In the past, the sounding of the horn symbolised major conflict or killings.

The younger warriors and small children were shaken. However, the older ones put down what they were doing without hesitation, calling for everyone to put down what they were doing. The tribe might be in danger, the horn was only sounded when something major happened. As for what other reasons, they could not think of any.

The ones on the hill had similar reactions, especially the chief, the shamaness and the rest of the higher-ranked leaders. They were all pale.

“What’s the matter? Duo Kang blew the horn?” asked the chief, Zheng Luo, running out of his house.

“I don’t know, it came from the foot of the hill.”

“Go, now!”

Someone put down their bowl of rice to rush over, some ran out of their toilets to follow the chief. The shamaness had been in a discussion with the chief. Since she was not a fighter, plus she was old, she chose to stay on the hill.

Even the animals kept in the animal pens shivered. Flaming Horn people were scary when they prepared to fight!

Although the tribe took up a large area of this hill, with the chief. Guang Yi and the rest’s abilities, they arrived where Duo Kang was in no time.
