Chapter 576 (2/2)

Without the fire seed’s presence to unite them, would the tribe be scattered all around? This was a question that weighed on the shamans and chiefs.

There was no point in thinking too much, they had to deal with this step by step. They’ll find a new place then think about this.

Shao Xuan took out the ropes again. He wanted to confirm the direction.

“What now?” asked the two chiefs nervously.

“No changes to the original plan, we continue in this direction.” Shao Xuan held the ropes tightly in his fists. With a flick of his wrist, the straw rope turned to shreds. Shao Xuan had entertained the thought of going to the old homeland. The rope divination seemed to be pointing to that direction. It was indeed a good location but he knew they wouldn’t be able to live there for a thousand years. The river was another problem too.

The long line marched forward. Many of the carts they made were destroyed so they weren’t able to transport people. The injured would sometimes get a lift from their farm animals.

The tribesmen met a few robbers on their journey. The robbers were from smaller tribes where these changes were disastrous for them. They were left stranded without food or manpower so they resorted to robbing for their essentials. However, there were too many Flaming Horn tribespeople so their attempts failed.

The route looked different from the time they travelled here. After all, they mostly used boats then and were travelling on foot now.

Some dried up rivers had a steady flow of water in them now. They weren’t sure of the reason but this was a good sign.

More and more people knew about Flaming Horn moving tribes as they travelled on. Some people from Longboat tribes came over to help them in exchange for goods.

They all had their eyes on the seven green-faced fanged beasts within the Flaming Horn tribe. Before they started their journey, the tribesmen fed the beasts medicine to knock them out so they slept through all the tremors. Shao Xuan also enslaved them so they didn’t have as much attacking power.

The Longboat tribe tried to make weapons with the beast they captured but failed. They were more experienced now but they lacked the materials to try again. They were hoping to use this opportunity for a trade.

Flaming Horn declined their offers.

The boats in the Longboat tribe were mostly damaged. Repairs were going to cost time as most of the trees here were damaged too. If they needed to make large scale repairs, they wouldn’t have enough materials.

The people of Flaming Horn didn’t want to trade for boats from the tribe either. They could make their own boats if they wanted to and they didn’t want to share the secrets of their new bronze weapons.

Other than the Longboat tribe, the other tribes came forward and had the intention to go up to them too. However, they too were faced with their own problems after the disaster.
