Chapter 398 (2/2)

“This is…”

The shamaness stared, murmuring. At this point, she had a guess. She immediately turned her eyes to Shao Xuan to try to get answers from him.

“It's the fire pit’s second flame—Flying Flame!” Shao Xuan said softly.

Synchronized!

The fire pits on both sides were synchronized!!

Even across the sea, even if the situation on both sides was different. At this moment, at tonight's ritual ceremony, the two fire pits were synchronized!

The four bone ornaments on Shao Xuan’s neck lit up. The sparks bursting out of the pit were the same as last time he had seen it, erupting and wrapping around them, then it formed a flame giant and sprang up.

Because of their previous experience, everyone was a bit calm this time. They were just astonished at those fluttering sparks. This was the first time they have seen it in their lives.

It was strange, but they felt an inexplicable closeness from the bottom of their hearts.

The tall flame giant slowly turned around, looking in a certain direction, which was also where Shao Xuan was looking.

At the same time, in another faraway place, at the Fearsome Beast Forest.

The Flaming Horns tribe’s ceremony tonight was solemn as they were still worried about Shao Xuan, who had disappeared for a long time. Since the event at the desert, Shao Xuan couldn’t be found, even when the shaman had sent people to check. It took a lot of effort for them to find out that Shao Xuan was hunted, then he jumped into the sea, went down and did not appear again. The Flaming Horns tribe nearly started a war in the desert, but then everyone was stopped by the shaman.

“Ah-Xuan is still alive.” The shaman told everyone confidently as he was holding the box of the elders’ bone ornaments.

Tonight, there were a lot of people thinking about Shao Xuan. However, they never expected that there suddenly would be a flame giant in the fire pit!

If Shao Xuan was here and the flame giant appeared, they could still remain calm. However, Shao Xuan was not here now!

Consequently, the flame giant that appeared did not show any interest in the people below it. The figure composed of huge flames slowly turned towards a certain direction.

When the shaman looked at the lit-up box, his hands shook excitedly, nearly shaking out the bone ornaments in the box.

“He found it! Ah-Xuan must have found them!”

The others didn’t understand what the Shaman was saying, only that what the Shaman meant was that Shao Xuan was still alive. This was enough.

“When will he return?”

The others may have thought that the shaman only meant Shao Xuan, but Chief Ao standing next to him knew that this statement meant it was not just Shao Xuan.

At the end of the ceremony, no one was calm.

The Flaming Horn tribe of the Fearsome Beast forest were thinking about when Shao Xuan would come back, while the shaman and the chief were wondering if Shao Xuan actually found the other part of the Flaming Horn tribe. On the other side of the sea, the crowd was also thinking. The flame giant looked in a certain direction, so the ancestors wanted to convey something to them. Some people guessed the reason, therefore, they had a sleepless night.

Chief Luo sent a team of people with Shao Xuan to the coast where Shao Xuan landed to see if there was an undersea passage. Only that the result was a disappointment when they returned.

Not only was there no safe passage, Shao Xuan couldn’t even see that undersea passage where he came from. It was probably still not the time yet.

Even if they saw it, Shao Xuan felt that they couldn’t be sure that many people could survive in the tunnel except him.

He wasn’t saying it was not a disappointment. But this side had a very rich civilization and staying here could also offer a good life. However, Shao Xuan still wanted to go back to the other side’s Flaming Horn tribe so he could reunite with everybody.

Build a ship? Not only were their skills lacking, but it would also be difficult to build one capable of supporting such a long voyage. There also seemed to be a lot of monsters in the sea. A whip of its tail could be all it took to overturn them. It was as dangerous as crossing through the tunnel.

Come to think of it, Shao Xuan felt that, if the bridge at the bottom of the sea were to rise, then everyone would be able to move directly from one continent to another, as they did thousands of years ago.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have that ability.

Forget it. They’d just wait for another chance, or look for other ways.

By the time they got back to the tribe from the coast, the weather was already warm. Some people had begun to try to grow crops in small fields within the tribe. Even if they didn’t grow much, it was worth it if they could grow something to relieve the pressure on food. Besides, the shamaness had told everyone that while hunting was important, planting was too. This skill couldn’t be wasted.

It was still a little time away from the next hunt. Looking at the busy people in the fields, Shao Xuan then asked the experienced growers some questions. He remembered that he actually had something important at hand.

Earlier, he had snatched some thousand gold grains from the rodents together with Old Ju. Shao Xuan still had a bit with him. He brought it with him as he also wanted to plant them. However, he had been busy. Shao Xuan had forgotten about it until today.

He took out the bag containing the grains. They looked dull in the light when he took them out.
