Chapter 512 (2/2)

Tuo and the rest heard him. There was a momentary pause, then everyone backed away from the fire pit.

“More! Further!” Shao Xuan continued yelling.

The Flaming Horns were retreating from the fire pit, though more and more of their own arrived. Wanshi tribesmen arrived. There was now a very peculiar phenomenon- the Flaming Horns wanted to stay away but the Wanshi people kept blocking them from retreat.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Hurried, consecutive thuds exploded from the fire pit.

The roaring greyish flames filled the entire pit, then a column of fiery light shot up into the sky. Like a volcanic eruption, fireballs spewed out of the pit.

Fireballs seemed to roll and hang in the air, as if they were about to cover the patch of sky above. With the sound of a tsunami, the blanket of fireballs fell from the skies like the apocalypse.

The Flaming Horns witnessing such a scene broke out in cold sweat. They were the first batch of Flaming Horns who arrived here, they were nearest to the pit too. To the warriors of the old haunt, this was their first time attacking another tribe. To the warriors from the other side of the ocean, this was their first time attacking a tribe with primitive fire seed. Neither side had seen such a thing before.

The fire seed was too powerful. It felt like they were standing in the face of a king beast- no, this was worse!

Staying here would only mean death. Even the chiefs, Ao and Zheng Luo would tell them to run above everything else.

The Wanshi shaman by the pit sneered, his chants now longer and higher-pitched.

Fifty meters?

How could it just be fifty meters?

That was just an act! Just from how its power exploded, the fire seed’s range was definitely not just fifty meters long!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground exploded as fireballs hit the ground, like the roars of an angry beast as it echoed across the lands.

They were supposed to be just fireballs, yet when the flames landed, as if heavy boulders had hit the ground, the earth shook.

The fireballs started landing further and further from the fire pit. Fireballs that hit the ground turned to grey flames. They could see the shaman’s faint silhouette through these grey fireballs.

The ground around the fire pit was already filled with grey flames. The second ring was quickly forming. These flames seemed to be growing upwards to form a tall mountain!

The fireballs were landing quickly. With the Wanshi people blocking them, the first batch of Flaming Horn warriors could not run out of range in time.

These warriors felt an invisible force pressing on them, a freezing current pressing up on them so every hair stood on their bodies. They did not look up to check the skies but they could feel the force of a mountain on them, as if even the ground would collapse on itself.

The effects of another tribe’s fire seed limited their mobility, even running was much more difficult. Their breaths ragged, faces pale… but they could still feel the growing weight on their bodies. Even moving their feet was too difficult now.

The shadow of death loomed over the warriors’ heads. Behind them, countless grey fireballs getting closer and closer to them. Every fireball fell with the power of rolling thunder, as if slamming into the ground with the force of a mountain.Death hung around as the grey fire spread at alarming speeds.

The sky was covered in a layer of grey fire, blocking out the morning sun. A sense of danger lingered.

The flowing air currents brought bone-piercing cold.

This was the last defense of the Wanshi tribe! Also the strongest!

So that was why the hunt leader trusted the fire seed’s power so much.

To the tribesmen, the fire seed was the most sacred, most powerful object. The fire seed held the power of the skies and the earth!

The Wanshi people believed that no one could break their defenses unless there was a more powerful fire seed. However, with the concept of ‘the fire seed growing roots in their fire pit’ as the source of power, which tribe would dare bring their fire seed out of their tribe?

They dared build their village outside the Fearsome Beast Forest only because they believed that all beasts would avoid their tribe because of their fire seed!

While the Wanshi fire seed might not be as powerful as the ancient, major tribes, here, they were kings! They were the gods of this world!

The slave masters chose to lean on the Wanshi tribe not out of convenience, they had their reasons.
