Chapter 527 (2/2)

“Is everyone done?” asked Shao Xuan.

“Most of them. All the Veins of the Sky are done but some smaller cabbages are still in the ground,” said Zheng Luo.

“Never mind those, wrap those that are done and leave the rest. We can come back later. You all pack up, I’ll head to the cave for a while.”

Shao Xuan brought a clay pot and lifted the stone slab. Then, he jumped down.

The three skeletons were still in that same position. Maybe they were stuck in the same position for the past thousand years.

Shao Xuan placed the small pot beside them and put some grains in it.

Finders keepers. It was the common rule for the tribes. Shao Xuan didn’t feel remorse for taking everything here. The Flaming Horn tribe had grudges against many of those from the Ji family in King City anyway. Those King City people even tried to kill them before.

Although he didn’t know the identity of these three, nor what happened here long ago, Shao Xuan still came back here. This was only because Ji Ju said that if he was ever found in a situation like this, he hoped a kind stranger would place a pot of grains for him, nothing fancy just a pot of grains.

Ji Ju was one of the few Ji family members that treated Flaming Horn tribespeople well. The seeds they had and the techniques to plant them were all from Ji Ju so Shao Xuan kept his words to heart.

Shao Xuan emerged from the cave and looked to the sky. He then joined the group and carried the freshly dug plants back to the tribe before it got dark.

As the sky got darker, it got harder to see things clearly. Those that followed the group there could only see the figures of warriors carrying things back from afar.

Some went to try to locate the cave after the warriors left but it was impossible to find any clue to where it was. The tribesmen did a very good job of hiding it by moving all the surrounding soil around.

The followers could only guess that the tribesmen dug something here but they didn’t know what.

The people of Flaming Horn didn’t try to hide everything, people knew that Shao Xuan had found a new type of food and brought people there to dig it out. However, even people in the inner circle weren't informed about the Vein of the Sky.

The visitors went to bed with a head full of confusion only to find out the next day something big had happened in the tribe.

In one of the newly cultivated areas, the tribespeople had barricaded the land with tall wooden planks without leaving a single hole to peep into. There were also several guards stopping people from getting too close.

The tribespeople from Tianshan tribe couldn't resist being in the dark and went towards their eagles but just as they ascended, the guards forcefully stopped them.

The guards were strict with the visitors. It was their land if you didn’t want to follow the rules you can leave! No need to deal with the networking bullshit. They’ll shoot you down the next time!

The upset Tianshan people didn’t complain for once but they were still very curious. What were the Flaming Horn people guarding so tightly?

The other tribes were also advised to stay back for the guards to explain the situation.

Except when they heard their explanation, the excitement immediately dissipated.

A new vegetable? That’s it? Every tribe there had enough food, even the Tianshan tribe and Hui tribe that didn’t rely on agriculture.

There was nothing exciting about a new type of food for the tribes.

Why were they guarding it so tightly for something so small?

These Flaming Horn people are really petty and ignorant for making that such a big deal!

At the same time, all the Veins of the Sky were planted in the fields in the forests. After a few days, the plants were showing a stronger sense of vitality with fewer competitors in the area for nutrients.

Gratified smiles hung from the faces of the two shamans as they looked at the Veins of the Sky. The large cabbages got everyone’s attention so these Veins of the Sky were more low-key.

“We need extra hands here.”

“For sure.”

“Do not loosen the security for the cabbages.”

“Understood.”

As the shaman and chiefs chatted on, Shao Xuan looked in a direction.

“What is it, Shao Xuan?” asked Zheng Luo.
