Chapter 508 (1/2)
Your Target
The Flaming Horns did not know the slave masters were now thinking of taking advantage of them. Even if they did, they would snicker and say, ‘A bunch of idiots!”
If the whole fire seed was still in the fire pit, perhaps the slave masters still had a chance to regain their former glory. It was the tribe’s source of power after all.
Unfortunately, the fire seed had now been merged into the Flaming Horn’s bodies. Even if Wanshi and the slave masters could sense its changes, they would not think of this. BEcause merging had never happened before!
Not every slave master knew all the secrets. The ones hiding in Wanshi were not very familiar with the fire seed, hence they had the wrong impression of it. They thought that the destruction of the fire seed would be the time they could rebuild their kingdom. Many people were thinking of returning to the desert to take revenge on Rock Hill City.
While they strategized, Wanshi was preparing for battle. Within the Fearsome Beast Forest, Flaming Horn had already regrouped on a large scale.
Every person not involved in the battle was safe in a set shelter. The terrain there was tough for battle, if any sudden changes occurred, it would still keep them safe for a while. The wanderers had another shelter.
When Shao Xuan returned to the tribe from the edge of the forest, he saw a group of warriors chatting. They had just completed training. They stood proudly, filled with vibrancy.
“This time, we must chase Wanshi out of here, not even one bit of land will be left for them! All of the land outside the forest will be used for our crops!”
“Yeah! They destroyed our fire pit once, now’s our chance to dig up theirs!”
“Yeah! Dig! Dig! Dig!”
These were the ones who witnessed the pathetic state of their old haunt when they arrived. All of them were passionately shouting to kill.
The tribe had its boundaries. Anyone who crossed it would have a war coming for them. This war had been delayed for a while, it was finally the day.
Beasts are chased out by hitting them, not by reason. To the Flaming Horns, Wanshi was an evil fearsome beast circling by their homes, always ready to pounce on them. They must unite to slaughter this beast with all their might, either this or they must chase it out.
Who the fuck could tolerate such a thing? No more of this bullshit! Not everyone could live peacefully with their neighbours like Flaming Horn and Taihe.
Lei and Tuo were in the crowd, the lines on their faces showed anticipation and determination.
Tuo held a stone knife, the kind he was used to. Although there were metal knives, they didn’t have the time to make the kind he was used to. There was a huge difference between stone and metal. Since they were going to battle, he did not want the enemy to gain an edge because he wasn’t used to his knife.
“How are the preparations?” Shao Xuan, Duo Kang and the rest asked Tuo.
“Great,” smiled Tuo, “Excited for revenge.”
Tuo and Lei’s hatred against Wanshi and the slave masters ran deeper. When they left with Shao Xuan for the desert, they were kidnapped and tossed into the fighting arena. Without Shao Xuan, they would’ve died there.
The people who hurt Lei and Tuo were Wanshi’s new shaman and the people of White Stone City. They must take revenge!
Excitement and anger flashed within Lei’s eyes. He could finally take revenge now!
War was an important component of human activity. Large and small conflicts often occurred between slave masters’ cities, tribes etc. Warring was the most direct way of resolving conflict. The ultimate goal was survival.
Duo Kang and the rest were no stranger to war. They had gotten their land, resources, salt mines etc through war. To the other half, this was their first large-scale battle in one thousand years.
Shao Xuan was thinking when he heard someone call him.
“Ah Xuan, the shaman wants to talk to you,” said Mai, hurrying over.
It must be something important. Immediately, Shao Xuan left Duo Kang and the rest behind and ran.
The two shamans’ houses were not far away. When he arrived, Shao Xuan saw Ao and Zheng Luo at the old man’s door.
When he saw Shao Xuan, Ao nudged towards the house with his chin, gesturing for him to hurry.
Hurrying inside, Shao Xuan realised the old shamaness was also present.
They were both sitting on thick animal hide, apparently waiting for Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan sat on the huge piece of animal hide on the ground before them. “Do you have something to tell me?”
