Chapter 500 (2/2)

Perhaps this could result in the growth of the fire seed.

At the same time, Shao Xuan noticed an obvious change.

The totemic patterns on his body thickened and extended across a larger surface area. Its colour changed too.

The people of the old haunt had darker patterns while Zheng Luo and the rest with fire seed within initially had totemic patterns the colour of molten rock. Shao Xuan too, but brighter. However, everyone’s patterns were changing now.

The patterns were now brighter than the former, yet still darker than the latter’s. It was purple-black, yet didn’t seem to be made of one colour. Upon a closer look, these patterns looked as if they were flames covered with a layer of skin, dulling the light within.

After the merging of a complete fire seed, these people exuded power and danger. These patterns were more suited for the forest because when they appeared, they served as a camouflage!

Just like stripes on an animal, just like the adaptation of an animal to its habitat!

The fiery glow lighting up the forest gradually dimmed. The floating flames disappeared. Within the fire pit, there would never be the constant flame of a fire seed again.

Many people felt hopeless when they saw their fire pit like that but soon, they perked up as they felt the changes within. They were stronger and they would live longer.

Zheng Luo and his people felt a deep change, their eyes ablaze. No one would call them ‘diseased’ now, they wouldn’t be short-lived idiots again! They would fight longer in the forest, and they would fight for more!

The glow among the clouds faded. The lands returned to darkness once again.

The shaman knelt before the fire pit, no longer burning. Everyone else knelt in prayer too. It was the highest gesture of respect, a gesture of farewell to their fire seed.

From this moment onwards, they welcomed a brand new era.

It was an important day in Flaming Horns history. This day would forever become a memorial day for their fire seed. Every year, on this day, they would hold a prayer ceremony to remember the change in their fire seed. Other than the other ancestral prayer ceremony, this would be another important date for Flaming Horn.

“The Flaming Horns will be glorious once again!”

They must take back the glory that was once theirs!

As for the Flaming Horn wanderers who left, the moment they abandoned the Flaming Horn tribe was the moment they lost the chance to merge with the fire sed.

Naturally, every shaman from other tribes sensed changes within the Flaming Horn tribe too.

“How could this be?!” the Mang shaman was shaken, losing his composure instantly.

“What? What happened to Flaming Horn?” asked the Mang chief hurriedly. He sensed something but not like the shaman.

“The Flaming Horn’s fire seed, it’s gone!” the Mang shaman’s voice was shaking.

“Gone?! How is that possible?!” the Mang chief almost jumped in surprise.

Yeah, how is that possible?

Even if they were very weak, they still wouldn’t let anyone extinguish their fire seed, would they? Plus, what just happened didn’t feel like they were defeated by someone.

“No, it’s not gone. It’s still here, it just exists in a different state.” The Mang shamans’s voice trailed off as he fell into deep thought.

Not just this shaman, every shaman from other tribes were also alarmed.

A similar conversation occurred within the developing Rock Hill City in the desert.

“Did you feel that?”

“Something is happening to the fire seed!”

“Not bad. They’ve found it. They’d found the method to merge with the fire seed!”

If they were initially skeptical about reports, they were now very sure the rumours were true!

“The Flaming Horns are a peculiar bunch.” Shi Shu looked towards the direction of the Flaming Horn village, then turned to look towards the ocean.
