Chapter 624 Wait, Grand Elder, What Are you Trying To Do?! (1/2)

Although all of the Flaming Horns were burning and the flames from their bodies were not the same height, there wasn’t too much of a difference.

However, the flames from the person who stood in the centre between the current chief and shaman of the Flaming Horn tribe suddenly burst upward and scared many of them.

Those who were still shocked at the burning bodies of the Flaming Horn tribesmen suddenly shifted all their attention to Shao Xuan.

The burning human figure suddenly burst upward and was as tall as the Flaming River Tower. It continued to extend upward until it could see everything in the nearby region.

This was the reason why Abuli tilted his head upward to look. He looked over the moment Shao Xuan’s flames burst upward.

When the burning figure stopped extending upwards, it started expanding in all directions. The fire pillar grew thicker and more flames flew out from it.

Although the people of the Flaming Horn tribe were shocked at first, their eyes were gleaming with joy after they calmed down.

Shao Xuan was able to hold the title Grand Elder because he had all six bone ornaments that only an elder was qualified to wear, and no one complained.

Not just anyone could wield them.

These six bone ornaments carried the wills of their ancestors, only when Shao Xuan wore the bone ornaments could the burning giant appear.

The reason they held a sacrifice after the grand feast was to inform their ancestors about their achievement, and now, the bone ornaments were responding. The flames were not as solid as before, but everyone could tell that it was a burning giant! It was the first ancestor’s burning giant!

Their ancestor’s will has appeared!

This made all the Flaming Horns so excited that they were on the verge of crying, but they maintained their composure.

At this moment, what they felt was similar to what a very hardworking student would feel after he had tried his best in answering on a test. Now, a teacher who was going to correct their papers and give them a good grade had appeared. This was someone they had waited to meet all along, someone they respected. Of course they would be excited.

The fact that the first shaman of the Flaming Horn tribe left them these six bone ornaments really was a big deal to them. Without these six bone ornaments, they had no ancestral power and it would not be possible for them to merge so quickly and smoothly. Regardless of whether it was the time when they were chased by the murderous slave masters on the other side of the sea or when they parted the sea to return, they used the power from these ancestral bone ornaments.

Back when they were planning this sacrifice, they didn’t expect the bone ornaments to suddenly power up. This was a joyful surprise.

They were not sure whether it was because the bone ornaments had not completely recovered, but when the burning giant came into shape, the flames were wavering and the figure wasn’t as firmly held together. But even so, the Flaming Horn tribespeople were already really satisfied. They couldn’t wait to bow down to it a couple more times.

In the forest outside the Flaming River Trading Point.

The teams that came to attend the feast left a few people outside to wait and observe what was happening on the inside. Not only did they have to check what was happening on the inside, but they also had to be careful of everything suspicious outside.

Besides these people, others who followed the teams that came to attend the feast who were not invited were also hiding in the forest. They came because they were curious.

When the grand feast started inside the trading area, they could smell the food from outside. It made their mouths water and their tummies growl. But all they could do was drink some unclean water and chew on some stiff jerky.

When the flame suddenly burst upward inside the trading area, it naturally caught their attention.

“The Flaming River Trading Point...is burning?! What happened?!” someone exclaimed.

Just now, they only sensed energy coming from inside the trading area that made them feel uncomfortable. They understood that this was the Flaming Horn’s territory. It was normal to feel this way in other people’s territory.

Before they were even not used to not having this type of energy around. But what was the violent flame all about?

“Don’t tell me… that the Flaming Horn tribe actually made a move?” the person who spoke gestured with his hands, demonstrating a chopping action with his hands as blades.

“That doesn’t make sense. How could the Flaming Horn tribe be that stupid? And don’t forget, amongst the tribes that went in, besides the smaller tribes, there was the Mang tribe, Thousand Masks tribe, Eight Limbs tribe, and others. You think they could get rid of them all in one go? There are even eagles from the Hui tribe and Tianshan tribe watching from all around. They didn’t even fly in yet.”

Indeed, there were eagles from the Hui tribe and Tianshan tribe watching from all around, but they were not flying around and keeping watch in the sky now. Rather, they were farther away from the trading area, either resting on a tree, a mountain, or a rock, watching the movements inside the Flaming River Trading Area.

They didn’t hear any whistles signalling them to come down. Of all the tribes that went in, none blew on their whistles.

“Let’s wait and see!”

The people who were hiding inside the forest speculated on the movements inside the trading point anxiously. They were tensing up and ready to rush in that direction anytime.

Meanwhile, the people who saw this inside the trading area were also shocked.

Especially the people who were closest inside the Flaming River Castle. They felt extremely confused. If the fact that the Flaming Horns could summon the energy of the fire seed shocked them, then seeing the Flaming Horns burning up shocked them even more. Now, Shao Xuan’s transformation looked like a pot of oil was splashed onto a blazing fire, its sizzling sounds burned on everyone’s nerves.

They could not comprehend or imagine the scene in front of them. This was not at all similar to the world they were familiar with. Their views that they firmly held onto must be changed now.

Blood and fire from the same source…..

This was the only hypothesis that could justify the fact that the Flaming Horn tribe didn’t have a fire seed and could still cause such a scene. Even if it was just a guess, when they encountered this, they couldn’t stay calm. The theory that blood and fire were coming from the same source couldn’t really explain what they were seeing now. This was probably a unique skill possessed only by Flaming Horns that was passed down by their ancestors. Other tribes didn’t have this.
