Chapter 515 (1/2)

Who Are You

Everyone was stunned by the sudden changes.

What just… happened?

They knew the answer but refused to believe it.

One injured Flaming Horn clutched his weapon, ready to fight to his death but he felt like his opponent had vanished.

Well, not physically, but the person in front looked like a puppet who lost its soul. His face was pale, his eyes empty and in a daze. He stood like a rock in the same position when he listened to the rumbles. Other than the twitches in his cheek, they would've thought he was stone.

These people were no longer a threat so the Flaming Horns did not plan to fight any longer. Just like during a hunt. They had been fighting a very strong fearsome beast but after a while, the fearsome beast had suddenly turned into a tiny cub with no teeth that could be killed easily. It was a very odd feeling so no one really wanted to fight anymore.

The pressing feeling disappeared along with the sound of the avalanche. The repulsion from the fire seed vanished too. The Flaming Horns did not feel the presence of another fire seed.

Everything had happened too quickly, the changes too sudden like a person who was slammed from heaven down into hell. They were caught off guard.

“What just happened?” Duo Kang gulped and looked around. He was already used to life without fire seed so he wasn’t as sensitive to fire seeds as the people here. After observing his surroundings, he had a guess. But he dared not speak for it was unbelievable.

“I think… Wanshi’s fire seed is… gone?” probed Tao Zheng. He was in disbelief too.

Gone? That was a physical fire seed! Apparently the most powerful thing a tribe could have!

Little tribes might have weaker fire seeds but Wanshi was a huge tribe. They experienced the immense power crushing on them moments ago. Even fire seeds had different power levels.

After experiencing such a force, the several hunt leaders were already planning to forget about the fire pit and kill all the Wanshi tribesmen first. They would then focus their entire tribe’s strength to fight the fire seed. If that didn’t work, they thought of inviting the shamans over after the war.

They had already prepared for this, yet everything changed in a second.

How could anyone smother such a mighty source of power?

At this moment, everyone wondered, ‘Who destroyed it?’

On Wanshi’s side, everyone walked like dead bodies without souls. This sudden psychological impact had shattered them mentally.

They turned their heads mechanically in the direction of the fire pit.

The grey flames had vanished. They saw it.

There was no longer a flame in their fire pit. The source of power guarding their tribe was gone.

They knew what this represented. They had destroyed other tribes before too. When they thought about the tribes they had destroyed, the wanderers that led difficult lives, the slaves that could be slaughtered anytime by anyone…

Everyone understood the harshness of this world. The strong ate the weak. However, in the past, they were always the butcher. Today, they became the meat under the butcher’s knife.

They were birds without protection flying amidst the storm.

It was a bright and sunny day but beneath the sky, the Wanshi people felt an unprecedented coldness in their bodies. This psychological frost penetrated into their bones, colder than a bucket of ice on a winter day. But they had no choice but to shiver in the face of such reality.

By the fire pit.

The Wanshi shaman’s lips moved, like he was about to say something but he could not make out a sound. Not even a word was uttered, as if someone had grabbed him by his throat.

How was this possible?

How was this possible?!

This line echoed in his heart.

There was a person squatting by the fire pit. A Flaming Horn tribesman. At this moment, his palm was right on the ground at where the fire seed used to burn.

The shaman stared at the hand, as if his vision could pierce through matter, checking to see if grey flames would shoot out from under the palm.

Grr--

A pebble rolled away, letting out a faint sound.

Shao Xuan slowly got up and lifted the palm within the fire pit. He looked at the pit.

This pit was dead. From This moment on, it would never burn again.

A shadow rushed over but Shao Xuan did not stop it. He watched as the Wanshi shaman ran hysterically, out of balance, then finally fell on his hands and knees. He dug the pit with his fingers like a madman, as if he could dig something out of the ground.

Pebbles were thrown out of the pit but these were just ordinary pebbles and soil. That was it.

“That’s not possible! That’s not possible!”
