Chapter 622 Sounding Horns At Sunse (2/2)

The low-sounding resonance of the horn sounded like a low-roaring thunder from the sky. It carried a vigorous strength as if it was travelling across space and time, and the sound spread out to even farther places.

The earth was also vibrating as if an ancient giant beast took a heavy step.

Following this sound, the Flaming Horn tribespeople who were busy with their work sped up their pace and rushed to finish the job at hand. If they couldn’t finish their job in the shortest amount of time, they set it aside and arranged their clothing. They washed away the dirt on their faces and changed into new and clean outfits.

Meanwhile, the team that were delivering goods also heard the sound of this low-sounding horn and the leader quickly looked for a place to rest and prepare his team. The few beasts that were pulling the carts of goods also followed the leader’s orders obediently.

As for Chacha, as soon as he heard the sound of the horn, he dropped everything, turned around, flapped his wings, and left immediately. The Flaming Horn’s sacrifice was none of his business. The sound of the horn passed through the entire forest in the Flaming River region. Even the Drum tribe’s crocodiles lifted their heads and looked in the direction of the trading point. Their cold irises were lit with curiosity.

On the other side of the Flaming River, the sound of the horn was also clearly heard. Although the sound had already weakened due to the distance, they could still hear it clearly.

The person who was walking over to feed the ducks threw away the duck food in his hands and ran back to his home. The people who were busy working in the fields and farms also rushed back to their wooden houses beside the fields. After washing up, they changed into new and clean outfits.

The guards were already prepared and did not need to change their clothing. But their expressions grew sterner, and when they saw people who still didn’t know what they had to do, they supervised them and made sure they knew what to do.

After the first horn was sounded, the onlookers inside the Flaming River Castle thought that the Flaming Horns were gathering their people, but after they looked left and right, no one was walking towards the area!

What was happening?

Everyone in the crowd was confused.

Above the Flaming River Tower, after Mao sounded the first horn, he waited for about half an hour. Tao Zheng looked over at the hourglass that Shao Xuan had made from crystals. As he waited for the sand to fall through from the top to bottom, he did a few warm-up exercises and then flipped it over again. Now, he brought out another fierce beast horn.

Compared to the one Mao blew just now, this one was a lot thinner and longer. It was lighter in colour and the stripes were not circular on this one. These horns came from two different fierce beasts.

After he took out the horn, Tao Zheng inhaled deeply like Mao did before, and blew into the second horn.

Wooooooooooooo---

The second horn did not sound as deep and vigorous as the first. This time, it sounded a bit calmer, like the sound of normal horns they heard every day. The sound was loud and travelled far.

The stretching sound wave was like an invisible giant hand, smoothing out all the messy vibrations in the area.

At this moment, it was like all the Flaming Horn tribespeople were ready and cleaned up all of their things. They waited for it to begin.

In the Flaming River Trading Point, the members of the other tribes who were still unsure what was happening when they heard the sound of the horn saw the Flaming Horn tribespeople leave their homes after they tidied up and stood still facing the direction of the Flaming River Castle.

All the patrolling warriors also stood where they were in lines after they heard the sound of the second horn. They were all facing the direction of the Flaming River Castle.

The team of warriors who were travelling from the headquarters to the trading point all stood up and held stern expressions. They stood up straight and faced the direction of the trading point. Even the beasts that were resting on the ground straightened up and held a firm stance.

Everyone in the Flaming Horn headquarters, no matter where they were, on the mountain or below the mountain, all of them came out from their houses and faced the direction the sound came from.

After Tao Zheng sounded the horn for a second time, the amount of time between the two horns were slightly shorter. Only half the amount of sand in the hourglass spilled to the bottom, but Tuo who was waiting on the side had already brought out a third horn.

This horn was also the thinnest and longest amongst all the three horns.

Taking a deep breath, Tuo blew into the third horn.

Wooooooooooo---

This time, the horn did not sound as low in pitch as the first, but it wasn’t as calm as the second horn either. This horn was rather sonorous and loud, and it was as if it had the ability to arouse their emotions and bring it to the extreme.

In the hall, all the dining utensils on the stone tables began to tremble and made loud scratchy sounds. The pots and vessels that originally had the Eight Treasures Porridge or the wine, and other pottery all cracked in that instant, under the force of a strong vibration. A small line started to appear up the bottle and the crack finally split the bottle into two.

The sound of the horn did not drag on. It was like a decisive sound of a whistle hinting that the sacrifice was officially starting!

Seeing the newly appointed shamaness of the Flaming Horn tribe take a step forward like she was ready to begin the sacrifice, the onlookers’ facial expressions were all astonished.

Were they really starting their sacrifice?

Wait, they’re not going to gather their people?
