Chapter 489 (2/2)
Flames pushed waves of water apart beneath the blue sky.
The ocean breeze grew stronger, blowing towards the shore and seemed to bring with it flickering embers.
White foam bubbles on the surface of the blue ocean, now separated and travelling in two separate directions. A stone tunnel was revealed.
The rock tunnel was covered on all sorts of seaweed. Animals hidden in the weeds wriggled away in panic, diving into the two walls of water.
Shao Xuan stood on the rock tunnel, staring at the water walls in shock. He knew his ancestors hinted at coming here but he didn’t know this would happen.
There wasn’t a tunnel, so they literally made one!
All the tribesmen standing on the coast watched the evolving ocean in shock. The narrow corridor within the ocean was more shocking than the flame giant.
The shamaness quickly knelt in prayer, thanking the ancestors for helping them, thanking the ancestors for creating such an opportunity!
Then, Chief Zheng Luo, leader of the hunting party- Duo Kang, and the rest all knelt.
The bird in the sky squawked in fear and turned around.
“We don’t have time, let’s go!” yelled Zheng Luo. “Everyone, follow me!”
Zheng Luo and the Shamaness walked in the front, into the ocean.
Over four thousand people followed. If someone else saw this from another angle, they’d think the entire tribe was on a major suicide mission.
When everyone entered the rock tunnel filled with seaweeds, as the last two people entered, flames shut off the tunnel behind them. The parted ocean merged once again.
They continued walking along the tunnel, unable to see the end. The wall of water on both sides grew taller and taller. Everyone was anxious. They could see fish swimming in the walls next to them, through the flames. These fish would turn around abruptly as they approached.
A large fish swam up from the depths. Everyone saw its faint shape in the water, the closest could see stripes on its body.
Children stared at the walls of water covered in a layer of flames, clutching to their father’s clothing because the ground was too slippery with seaweed.
Shao Xuan suppressed his shock and continued walking. Behind him, a long line of people followed. They were slowly moving away from the coast.
Near the coast, the seawater had returned to its original state, no evidence that it had just been parted.
Rumble…
King City’s army had arrived along with Chaoqiu and Feng City’s reinforcement troops.
The closer they got to the coast, the more confused they became.
Where was Flaming Horn?
Weren’t they travelling in this direction? How could they just disappear? Did they become fish?
“Where did they go? What’s going on in front? Why aren’t you moving?!” shouted Ji Lu out of the carriage, opening the curtain.
“Master, I…”
The messenger from the front was stuttering hard, he could barely form a word. Ji Lu waved in irritation, leaping off the carriage.
Yi Zong’s eyelid twitched. His bad feeling was growing stronger. He also got off and hurried forward.
They were standing on higher ground, staring out at the ocean. Far from the coast, there was a long walkway where the sea had parted, There were people walking inside, heading away from the coast.
The person sitting on a beast almost fell from his mount in shock.
“What… What the hell is that?! Someone tell me, WHAT IS THAT?!” roared Ji Lu, pointing at the ocean.
They’re.. Walking in the ocean? How was that possible? How?!
Yi Zong closed his eyes, his hand shaking. He regretted telling his men to catch up later. They should have killed the tribe as soon as possible, no matter the cost. However, it was too late now. Too late.
A thousand years ago, Muhan and the rest left after chaos within King City while Flaming Horn arrived from the other side. Now, Flaming Horn crossed the ocean once again. Would the people who left come back to this side too?
As Shao Xuan led Flaming Horn along the stone walkway, on the other side, within the Fearsome Beast Forest:
The shaman stood at the fire pit. Staring at the sudden burst of flames within, he sent out an order.
