Chapter 619 Poison! (1/2)

-DOGE.

Inside the Flaming River Trading Point, there were many others who were observing from the outside who didn’t follow the people into the castle to attend the feast. Although they also had food given to them, it was obvious that the food they ate were definitely different from the food the people were having on the inside, and the difference was clearly not a small one.

Here, the meat was all raw and they had to roast it by themselves.

And amongst these people, some were roasting the meat while others observed what was happening on the inside.

After observing for such a long time, they began to hear thunder-like sounds coming from within the Flaming River Castle. Besides that, they heard no other suspicious sounds from the inside. They also didn’t hear the whistles from their chiefs, so there was clearly nothing unusual happening inside.

“Say, what do you guys reckon is happening inside the castle? What are they eating in there?” the person on patrol who was bored asked his companion.

“Who knows, we’re so unlucky to be left out here, I would’ve followed them in if I could! Did you smell the food from there? It’s clearly not the same as what we’re having.” The person who spoke gulped and looked in the direction of the Flaming River Castle with envious eyes.

“Hmm, hey, look! The Flaming Horn tribe is sending food in again.”

The people who were patrolling from different places all looked toward the only wide path in the trading point that led to the Flaming River Castle.

Carts pulled by fierce beasts were sent in one after another, but this time, they did not smell any meat from the carts. It was completely covered so they couldn’t tell what was inside. Only when the carts shook that they heard the gentle clanging sounds from the objects inside. It sounded like pottery.

The fearsome beasts of the Flaming Horn tribe were all given a task today. Each was in charge of pulling a cart and transporting the goods to the back door of the Flaming River Castle for a final process. Even Chacha was assigned a task, to transport things by air. It seemed like the entire Flaming Horn tribe was busy working today.

Meanwhile, inside the Flaming River Castle.

Zheng Luo had already arrived at the seating area of the last tribe. Brandishing the giant green blade in his hand, he chopped up the thick meat into thicker pieces and cut the tender parts into thinner slices.

After cleaning the meat off the bones, only a plate of beast bones were left. On the other hand, the other plate that was placed beside this one was already stacked neatly with pieces of beast meat in all different sizes.

Whoosh!

The blade returned to its scabbard and they walked away.

Zheng Luo returned to his seat and just like Ao from before, he had a cheerful and proud smile on his face, full of satisfaction from his performance.

They had two ex-chiefs of the Flaming Horn tribe serve them meat. Wasn’t this a splendid show of hospitality?

If the others knew what the two ex-chiefs of the Flaming Horn tribe were thinking at the moment, they would’ve screamed, “This is too much! We can’t accept it!”

The newly appointed chief Gui He looked over at Zheng Luo who just returned to his seat, and then turned his head to glance over at Ao. He moved his fingers. His hands itched with the same urge to show off. He also had skills to show. Ao could cut the meat clean off the bones, Zheng Luo could slice up the meat, and as for him, he could break apart every joint on those beasts that they so often ate! With just one swing of the sword! At most, he needed three swings!

Seeing his father’s urge to perform, Gui Ze who was sitting on the side coughed softly, reminding his own dad to be cautious about his image. He was the chief now. In front of all the other tribes, his every movement represented the entire Flaming Horn tribe.

But in truth, who didn’t feel the urge to show off in the Flaming Horn seating area? Gui He was not the only one who felt that way.

As for the others in the hall, seeing the people of the Flaming Horn tribe shifting in their seats, they began to worry again and their facial expressions changed. Don’t tell me they’re going to do another round?

Can’t you just let us enjoy our food for once?!

This was just a distraction right? Right?

It didn’t matter. The Flaming Horn tribe had already achieved what they wanted.

They knew that they could not have too many shocking performances like these. Once or twice was enough to leave an impression. If they overdid it, the effect wouldn’t be as strong anymore. It wouldn’t be as surprising as the impact of the first performance. This the Flaming Horn tribe understood.

So, after Ao and Zheng Luo showed off their skills, the hall finally returned to a normal state.

By normal, they meant that the people had to cut up the meat by themselves. Giant uncut roasted beasts would be served and no one would cut it up for them. No one would be there to cut it into chunks, pieces, or shreds.

This also satisfied the wishes the people had when the first two rounds of meat were served.

Didn’t you want to cut the meat yourself? Sure, go ahead!

Needless to say, when the people in the hall started to cut the meat, they realised how difficult it was.

Even if it was already roasted, cutting fierce beast meat was not easy. If they did not understand the inner structure of the fierce beast, they would end up striking on its rigid bones. There would be no damage made to the meat, but they cared a lot about their blades. The bones of fierce beasts were a few times harder than the bones of normal wild beasts. Some beasts with tougher outer bones could even make a crack in the medium-upper grade stone blades.

Not everyone was that rich and willing to damage their own blade. They would certainly feel distressed if their blades were damaged.

The people who cared a lot about their blades were extremely careful while cutting the meat. They cut it up piece by piece. The experience was not at all fancy and cool like the performances put on by Ao and Zheng Luo before.
