Chapter 627 Making A Name (2/2)

Some people did not want to stop there. They gathered their people and left the Flaming River Trading Point. Due to the rules and regulations inside, they didn’t dare make a move, so they could only search outside.

Meanwhile, as these people went to search, the chiefs of the major tribes, the Mang tribe, the Eight Limbs tribe, the Longboat tribe, the Thousand Masks tribe, the Feather tribe, the Tianshan tribe, and the Hui tribe all walked into the Flaming River Castle. But this time, they did not meet in the open-air venue they used before. Instead, they were led into a special meeting room inside the Flaming River Castle. Only a few of the chiefs entered, and on the Flaming Horn’s side, only Gui He and Shao Xuan went in.

Shao Xuan stood up and stretched. After such a busy day yesterday, he even had to deal with some things that came after the event. He didn’t get enough sleep, and the ancestor’s flame giant also consumed a lot of his energy, so he was feeling exhausted now.

When Shao Xuan stretched his arms, the people in the meeting room all looked at him.

When he felt those stares, Shao Xuan said, “Don’t worry, I’m just stretching.”

They didn’t care. Only when Shao Xuan finished stretching and yawning did they emotionlessly withdraw their stares.

They had no choice. Yesterday’s event terrified them. They didn’t know what happened to the flame giant, but they knew that Shao Xuan was the one who created it. With a simple pull of the sleeves, he flooded the entire trading point with a flame torrent. That left a deep negative impression on them. When Shao Xuan stretched his arms, they couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Gui He understood this feeling, but he knew that the ancestral flame giant rarely appeared unless they were holding a sacrifice. When he noticed their reactions, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn’t. When the ancestral flame giant appeared yesterday, he was standing beside Shao Xuan. At that time, he was so shocked that his entire back was covered in a cold sweat.

After gathering his emotions, Gui He looked at Shao Xuan, and seeing Shao Xuan nod in response, he said, “Let’s start.”

The stone door of the meeting room slammed shut with a “boom” and shut out all the sounds from within.

It was only until nighttime when the stone door was opened again.

The few chiefs had perplexed looks on their faces. It wasn’t clear whether they were happy or mad. They left with their people on the fifth day after the Flaming River trading point officially opened.

And the curious travellers who followed them here also left one after another.

With their help in spreading the news, the Flaming River Trading Point’s name would soon spread far and wide across the continent.

To the people who lived on this continent, news about the destruction of a tribe by another only lasted for a short time. Most tribespeople only talked about other tribes whom they were not familiar with or lived too far away when they were bored. If there were any other exciting news, they would immediately turn their attention towards it. But when it came to eating, they could discuss it for a very long time.

Some people even counted with their fingers and tried to recall how many tribes hosted “showing-off” feasts in the past few years.

Especially those expedition teams that belonged to different trading points. When they had spare time, they would gather together and discuss these matters.

“I wonder what they ate at the Flaming River Grand Banquet.”

“I heard even some major tribes praised the dishes.”

“Wow, that means the Flaming River Trading Point is very powerful.”

“Not the Flaming River Trading Point. The Flaming Horn tribe is powerful!”

“That means the same thing. Have you guys been there?”

“No. We know people from another tribe who went before.”

“So those rumours are all true? A beast fang this big? A beast claw this size?! Those are all real?” someone stood up and tried to show how big it was.

“Pfft, not that small. It’s way bigger than what you think! Too bad they didn’t bring enough goods to trade, they couldn’t bring a giant beast claw back. Those claws, heh, they don’t even need to be polished. They could be used directly as weapons! I heard it could even split rocks in an instant….”

It was rare for that person to catch the attention of so many, so he was delighted. He cleared his throat and continued to tell them all about what he heard.

Gradually, more and more people gathered to listen, and some even made strange sounds like “Ssssss”, “Ahhhh”, “Huh”, “Yaaaaa”, “Oh”.

“Umm, those people who went there didn’t have any goods to exchange, but they didn’t even try robbing?” someone asked.

“Are you sure you’d rob the Flaming Horns?” the crowd looked instantly at the person who asked the stupid question. In their minds, the Flaming Horn tribe was already at a new height. Their rank was not any lower than the few major tribes from the central region.

“Pfft! When did I say I would rob the Flaming Horns? Am I that stupid?” the person who asked tried to explain, “What I meant was to rob those smaller tribes!”

“No way, the tribes who lived in that region were too familiar with the geography there. I heard that when they tried to chase after some of them, they couldn’t even catch up and lost them,” the person in the centre immediately caught on to the topic and continued to blabber on.

“Why not, we find time to go on an expedition trip there?” a leader of some tribe’s expedition team said as he listened.

“I had the same thought, let’s go together.” the leader of another expedition team said.

“Haha, we can gather more people. It’s not easy to rob those smaller tribes. They’re very tricky and clever!”

The person who spoke only repeated what he heard once, but when that person told him about the smaller tribes and said how “tricky and clever” they were, he was speaking through gritted teeth.

That person said that whenever they were chasing those people in the forest, they were so close, but those people always succeeded and escaped. They even almost fell into an abyss.

“So that’s why, when we go to the Flaming River Trading Point in the future, we should bring more people. If people fell into the abyss, at least there would be others there to save them. And there would still be enough people to chase after the smaller tribes,” someone came over said with a professional tone.
