Chapter 615 Beast Fang Gate (1/2)

The banquet would not be delayed because of these issues. It wasn’t because the Flaming Horn tribe cared about other people’s complaints, but they were also not willing to take all the blame. So many people came for this occasion, and in order to organize a successful banquet, a lot of food in the trading point was made free. Thus, the amount of food consumed each day was huge.

The Flaming Horns wanted to hold a banquet similar to a grand feast just to show off their wealth. They weren’t like those overconfident people who didn’t even have the wealth but still desperately wanted to hold a grand feast. Those people would only end up impoverished.

Therefore, they notified everyone about the specific time and location for the banquet the next day.

The boat team from the Longboat tribe finally arrived on the day before the banquet. They had encountered some problems on their way. There were some obstructions in the river so they arrived later than expected. The good thing was they made it in time.

The five major tribes from the central region as well as the Lu tribe that had a decent relationship with them before were all here.

Because the Longboat tribe arrived late at night, they could not see many things in the trading point clearly. It was not until the next day when they walked out of the houses the Flaming Horn tribe had prepared for them that they saw their surroundings and took a deep breath.

“This… this is a trading point?!”

Aren’t trading points just set in designated places where people could just display what they wanted to trade? Why were there so many buildings? And this was not even the Flaming Horn headquarters?

The people from the Longboat tribe had already seen the Flaming River Castle the previous night. It was the one building that was located in the centre of the trading point, towering over all the other buildings. They just didn’t see the castle in its entirety because they didn’t get close enough the night before.

When they thought about the things their tribe did to the Flaming Horn tribe during the migration from the previous disaster, some of them felt regretful. Back then, they should have taken the initiative to help the Flaming Horn tribe instead of taking advantage of the situation and urging for negotiations. They never thought that the Flaming Horn tribe could develop so fast after enduring such a disaster and migration.

It hadn’t even been long since that time!

In the custom of most tribes, banquets were usually held in broad daylight and not at night. There were too many uncertain factors they had to consider at night, so they would prefer to avoid the night time. The Flaming Horn tribe’s banquet this time also took into consideration the customs of most tribes, so it began in the morning.

When they received a signal from the Flaming Horn tribe telling them it was okay to move forward, they packed their things and headed for the Flaming River Castle in the center of the trading point.

Many people came from each tribe, but not all of them would enter the Flaming River Castle. Even if the Flaming Horn tribe wanted it to be arranged that way, the other tribes might not necessarily agree. After all, they didn’t fully trust the Flaming Horn tribe. It was always safer to keep their guards up.

They sent a group of people in, and kept another group outside to keep watch. Actually, there were also people outside the trading area waiting for signals. If there were any changes outside the trading area, they would send out a signal.

Teams came out from their houses one after another. Even if they met any familiar faces on the way, or anyone who had bad history with them, no one cared enough to talk at this time. Rather, all of them looked thoughtfully at the direction of the Flaming River Castle, wondering what might happen next.

There were a few entrances into the trading point, but only one gate into the Flaming River Castle.

All the tribes that were invited had to enter through the same gate into the Castle.

The gate of the Flaming River Castle was a large rectangular space that was wider horizontally and about twenty meters high. Even Chacha could easily enter from this gate.

Above the entrance was a giant stone carving of two horns similar to the totem of the Flaming Horn tribe.

At each of the four corners of the entrance was a giant cone-shaped fang, far bigger than the ones Shao Xuan had gifted the Feng tribe. If all the fangs were aligned, their lengths combined would far exceed the height of the gate.

The pair of fangs at the bottom slightly protruded outwards, so the fangs from the top and bottom didn’t come into contact. This solved the problem of the beast fang being too long, and combined it made the design more three-dimensional than before. This entrance was like the mouth of a giant beast, waiting for the guests to walk in.

As the sunlight shone down on this entrance, the dazzling reflection from these four sharp fangs struck terror to the hearts of those who saw it. It made them feel as if the four fangs would snap shut anytime, biting and crushing down on them.

Although a few of the people who belonged to the major tribes were shocked, they had seen enough of the world and encountered giant beasts. Even though the beasts they had seen before could not compare at all to the four fangs laid in front of them, their past experience enabled them to maintain their composure, so they seemed calm at least on the surface.

But those people from smaller tribes who had never even encountered giant beasts trembled and gave out cowering cries.

“Goodness! Are those fangs? Real fangs?”

“...Yes they’re real, I just went over to touch it. I swear on my totem, that is definitely real,” the person who spoke mumbled on, his body shivering from the peculiar chill around him. It was as if the murderous intent from the beast fang was still stuck on his hands and couldn’t be shaken off.
