Chapter 627 Making A Name (1/2)

In front of the few entrances were giant stone plates carved with the new rules of the trading point. Every new face that came by were gestured by the Flaming Horn guards to read the rules first, or else they wouldn’t even know the reason if they were killed inside the trading point.

Once their lives were involved, those who didn’t care at first immediately went back to take a closer read.

These new faces were people who followed the few major tribes when they came to attend the grand feast. Before, they couldn’t even enter, but when they heard that the Flaming River Trading Point was officially opened, they thought about it for an entire night before they finally made the bold decision to go in.

If they already made it this far and were accustomed to expeditions, they had a heart for adventure and were full of curiosity, or else they wouldn’t have followed them until now.

When they were hiding in the distance and observing the Flaming River trading point, their curiosity made them want to know more, but because they couldn’t, they had to hold back the urge.

Now, they could finally see everything inside the Flaming River trading point.

None of the twenty-four tribes that came left. All of them planned to stay here and trade. Some wanted to leave later while others were waiting for the perfect time to go.

Like the Zhi tribe, they didn’t leave yesterday because they over-ate and couldn’t run fast. There were also all sorts of dangers outside.

Now that night had passed, they had finished digesting most of the food, and they also finished up all the leftovers they took from inside the Flaming River Castle. Now, they were only waiting for those people outside to come into the trading point. Then they would leave. If they left earlier, those people outside who had bad intentions might stop them on the way, so the best way was to wait for those curious people to enter first and then leave. That was the safest option.

Some other smaller tribes thought the same way too. They were not good at most things, but they knew how to determine the best time to escape.

The people who just entered the Flaming River Trading Point were already attracted to all sorts of “sturdy” goods.

“Whoa, look over there! What a giant piece of meat!”

“Judging by the colour, I don’t think I’ve tried this before. Is this what they call fearsome beast meat?”

“Fearsome beast meat?!”

“What is this meat?” someone with widened eyes asked. He went closer to smell the bloody meat as he asked. His face expressed his fascination, “This must be delicious!”

“Giant Bear,” the Flaming Horn tribesman who was selling it said slowly.

“Giant Bear? How giant is it?” someone asked curiously.

“What is this other meat?” Before they even got an answer from the seller, another person asked again.

“That’s the meat of a giant claw beast,” the person in charge of that stall replied calmly.

“Giant claw? How big is giant?”

“Um, like that one over there,” the person who was selling pointed to the stall opposite from his. It was full of beast fangs and beast claws. “It’s that third giant beast claw if you count from this side.”

“Oh ~~~” another group of people rushed over together.

“So this is the claw of the giant claw beast?”

“Yes,” the uncle who was selling the beast fangs and claws smiled at them with his dazzling teeth. He took the giant claw down from where it was and let these people who had never seen the “real world” take a closer look.

The people who rushed over touched the beast claw from top to bottom. Then their hands went from bottom to top again. Their eyes stared with awe at the giant beast claw that was twice as tall as them.

“What beast does this claw belong to?” another person asked from the side.

“That’s a beast fang.”

“This beast fang is so huge!”

“It’s okay, it’s not THAT big,” the man who was selling the beast fang grinned at them with his white teeth, “Would you like to buy this?”

The people who were growing excited suddenly felt like they were splashed with a bucket of ice.

Their expressions were all frozen, dumbfounded.

They were too rushed when they came, so to ease their travel when they were tailing the major tribes, they didn’t bring enough “money”. They felt around their pockets and only found a few glittering gems, stones, or shells. There was some jade, but they were not of decent quality. They really couldn’t get much out of their pockets. At first, they wanted to trick the Flaming Horns about how valuable their goods were, but seeing how the Flaming Horns were capable of hosting a “showing-off” feast, how was it possible for them to not have seen these? As they recalled everything they had seen since they entered the Flaming River Trading Point, they didn’t dare to trick the Flaming Horns.

They thought about the rules that were carved on the stone plate when they entered the trading point, and then thought again about how carefree the uncle who was selling the beast fangs and beasts horns was, how effortlessly he moved the giant claw over for them to see…..

You’ll get killed, alright?!

But, if they came all the way here without bringing anything back to show off, they felt sorry for themselves.

But to rob?

Some of them looked around with fierce glares and glanced around them. They were searching for those people from the smaller tribes who came over to attend the feast. Some were tribes that even had trouble filling their own stomachs. If they wanted to rob anyone, it would be them. Indeed it made no sense to rob those powerful tribes. Even idiots wouldn’t do it!

But when they began their search for these people, the Zhi tribe and other smaller tribes had already left. If they wanted to chase after them, it would be too difficult!
