Chapter 451 (2/2)
“Yes, yes!” said Maoda worriedly. In the past, he’d joke around with Shao Xuan but after seeing Shao Xuan hit Luzong in the air, Maoda dared not talk nonsense with him.
“You all should leave soon. As for the city gates, since the Lu family already said they’d bear the costs, we don’t have to worry,” said Black Bear.
If they stayed, they might never leave.
Shao Xuan thanked Black Bear sincerely then left with Maoda.
The Lu family did not chase after them, the guards did not stop them. Even the Lu family members hiding in preparation for an ambush outside the city looked at each other awkwardly. None of them dared attack, merely watching as the bears passed by. Especially when Shao Xuan passed, the ones near him shuddered.
At this moment, in several spots within King City, the ones who did not take the Lu family and Shao Xuan seriously were shocked to hear the news.
Within the palace, several people rushed in. They had also received news-- personally, they had also felt a chill just now.
“Flaming Horn? Flaming Horn tribe? Why is it always them?” frowned an old aristocrat with white hair.
“Since when did they get so powerful?”
“I heard it’s the Flaming Horn’s tribe Elder. Very young.”
Someone recalled the words left behind by a master of the Yi family years ago and panicked. “The huge changes the master mentioned, was it referring to the Flaming Horn tribe?”
“If you recall, Flaming Horn comes from another place.”
“This tribe is a large threat, I have been saying this for years.”
In a moment, everyone sitting down was silent. They thought it was possible.
While the people of King City debated how much of a threat his tribe was, Shao Xuan had already left the city. As he walked on the long dirt road and into the forest, not just the bears- Shao Xuan was a lot more relaxed too.
“Maoda, I’d like to borrow your bear,” said Shao Xuan.
Maoda was thinking of forging a closer relationship with the Flaming Horn people. Just from today, they could see that the Flaming Horn’s capabilities far exceeded their expectations. It would benefit them to work with this tribe, plus Shao Xuan knew Master Heng and Ji Ju.
When he heard Shoa Xuan, his train of thought was interrupted. He asked in confusion, “Borrow my bear? For what?” Was it for food? He heard the Flaming Horn people ate a lot of beast meat after expending a lot of energy.
“I want to ride one, take a nap,” said Shao Xuan.
Maoda’s eyes flashed, understanding that Shao Xuan might not be as well as he looked.
With a shrug, he said, “Take any one of them.”
Shao Xuan chose the nearest one. It was coincidentally the bear that wanted to attack him when they first met.
When Shao Xuan approached, the bear shuddered and wanted to hide. Too bad Shao Xuan had already sat on his back. After, the bear walked awkwardly and lost all rhythm in its feet, almost tripping itself over.
In the past, he was cautious of Shao Xuan. Now, he was terrified. However, since Shao Xuan did not do anything after getting on its back, it slowly relaxed.
Shao Xuan had to rest so his injuries would recover. He had faced such a huge force- from his neck to his shoulder, every bone and muscle seemed to groan. He could feel his body getting heavier by the second as every movement became more difficult.
However, with his rejuvenation abilities, a nap would greatly improve his situation. That was why once they were out of the city and no one was watching, he slept ton the bear’s back.
Guang Yi didn’t speak, guarding the back of the bear. At the same time, he was thinking. If Shao Xuan was so powerful, would he be able to find a way across the ocean? The shamaness and chief had placed all their hopes on Shao Xuan. In the past, Guang Yi was sceptical. Now, he thought, perhaps Shao Xuan could.
He was very interested in the other branch of the tribe. At the village, when his old friends ate together, they’d talk about their brothers in the other tribe. It had been a thousand years but the Flaming Horn people still did not develop strong feelings for this piece of land. The shamaness said this was not where they should be, that was why they did not feel like they belonged.
If outsiders attacked, Guang Yi would guard the tribe with the rest. However, if they could not defend, and the shamaness and chief decided they had to move, they would not be too emotional about it. Every year, they’d hear about some tribe moving. Some moved from the forest to somewhere with more people. Others were forced to leave their centuries-old homes to hide in the mountains.
When the fire seed did not root itself in one place, the humans did not root themselves either. They just floated and landed wherever they could. Some tribes scattered and never reunited again. Other tribes’ values became distorted-- like the Linlu tribe.
What would happen to the Flaming Horn tribe?
