Chapter 513 (1/2)

Mountain of Rocks

Wanshi meant ‘ten thousand rocks’ because their fire seed originated from rocks!

The Wanshi fire seed was born within ten thousand boulders stacked up into a mountain!

Amongst the grey flames, the Wanshi tribe was only faintly visible. Due to the air currents and flickering flames, his silhouette was distorted and stretched, making him look eerie.

Although they could not see him clearly, Shao Xuan heard a manic guffaw coming from the fire pit.

“Hahaha! Whose fault is it that the Flaming Horns have no more fire seed? Let’s see how you will fight me without a fire seed!”

Boom! Boom!

Grey fireballs crashed into the ground like asteroids. There was no time to breathe. There was already a third ring of flames around the fire pit.

The Flaming Horns carrying the wounded could feel their bodies weakening very quickly, muscles twitching at their temples and large beads of sweat rolled down their bodies. They had only run barely a hundred meters, this was nothing. Yet they felt like they were running against floodwaters, every step was difficult.

The warriors protecting the rest also felt the same, warding off people fiercely. However, they felt their strength wearing out, their muscles weakening. Flaming Horns were a strong group so they could still resist for a while. Other people would have died under the Wanshi’s attacks already.

“Careful!”

A large ball of grey flames was headed towards the group of people.

The grey patch of fireballs in the sky was rapidly expanding, covering a huge area. They would not be able to escape in time. Dodging one fireball did not mean they could dodge the next. The ten warriors in the group could only face the fireball head-on. As they stared at the fireball heading towards them, they raised their weapons and braced for impact.

The grey flames penetrated their knives, spears and axes, then their bodies. There was a loud boom as the flames landed. The ground shook for what seemed like a long time.

Although the flames pierced through their bodies, it did not cause any surface physical damage. Yet the Flaming Horns within fle like they were crushed by a huge boulder, trapped underneath with a strong force pressing from all directions. They felt their blood vessels flatten, a terrifying force rushing towards their heads.

Even the slave masters hiding outside the battlefield shuddered. Although they weren’t there, the power of the fire seed terrified them. They could easily control a slave without a fire seed but it was very difficult to control a warrior with awakened totemic power. This was the power of the fire seed.

The slave masters who had once mulled over the idea of betraying Wanshi were relieved that they didn’t go through with their plans. If Wanshi was forced to unleash their fire seed, they would meet the same fate as the Flaming Horns.

“Thank goodness we didn’t act then!”

“Looks like Flaming Horn is going to suffer. Let’s hope Wanshi will take this chance to destroy Flaming Horn.” The slave masters who never liked the Wanshi tribe started to change their minds.

One slave master’s eyes darted around. With a low voice, he said, “What if we take this opportunity to help Wanshi?”

This idea came from the young master of Sky Wheel City, the one who previously looked down on Wanshi. Now that Wanshi was at an advantage, he changed his mind.

“You make sense. Let’s do it!”

There were other people who agreed with the young master. They led their slaves towards the battlefield.

Shao Xuan was also within range of the Wanshi tribe’s grey range. He could clearly feel his powers being suppressed, though his movements were still more agile than the rest.

When he saw more and more Flaming Horns falling within range, his heart clenched and he shouted, “Everyone, group together! Come closer! Don’t scatter too far! The more of us, the better! ‘If the tribesmen exist, the fire seed will exist’! Do not fear!”

Did the Wanshi shaman really think their fire seed was gone? How could he?!

‘If the tribesmen exist, the fire seed will exist’, it just wasn’t in its primitive state.

Shao Xuan started pulling the Flaming Horn warriors closer together. He dodged a blade and kicked a Wanshi tribesmen’s chest, then continued heading towards a group of Flaming Horns.
