Chapter 647 Burn (1/2)

Just to put on more nets, the Gu tribe had to pay a hefty price, tens of their people had died. Currently, if they continue to hold on like this, the death toll would only increase.

Sustaining major injuries would be considered the best-case scenario when facing a beast like this.

The shaman watched as the beast got closer and closer, his calm eyes suddenly showing more and more worry.

Not enough!

It really wasn’t enough!

This really wasn’t enough nets to get the results he wanted! Even with preparations, the shaman had underestimated the beast.

The people working the nets were trying their best, the shaman couldn’t tell them to do anything else. The root cause of this was their inexperience, they had missed too many opportunities to act.

The shaman looked at the beast carefully.

Is that it?

No, there’s still a gap! If we can fill it, we can make it.

Two warriors struck from above, each carrying a rope.

Although they were quick, the beast was quicker. When the two noticed the sound of the wind whooshing, they tried to avoid the claw aiming at them but sadly they failed.

The two fell from the sky like shooting stars, heading head down into the forest, leaving a path of red in the sky.

It was too late!

The people holding the nets were at their limits.

The shaman looked at the approaching beast and took a step back.

They didn’t have any better weapons, they didn’t have strength like the Flaming Horn warriors, their nets couldn’t tame this wild beast but they still had one last trick up their sleeve.

“Burn!”

Whoosh--

All the nets were lit on fire.

Its head, neck, body and limbs that were wrapped by nets were set ablaze.

The fire seemed to come from the nets itself. The nets didn’t seem to burn away like wood did, they kept their shape with only the colour turning slightly redder.

To lure, chase, trap, capture and burn were the basic steps of the Gu tribe way of hunting. They rarely used the last step as it really was just a preventative measure. Even their ancestors rarely used the last step during their hunts.

Unfortunately, after a thousand years later, they were forced to use this step. Most of the warriors had no experience with this move. For many of them, this was their first time in battle.

The aura of the fire seed immediately was felt by everyone there, especially by the beast. The area was currently the place where the aura was strongest other than the fire pond.

The moment the ropes burst into flames, loud howls from all over the place suddenly stopped, the only one that was heard came from the beast that was very close to the fire pond now.

The tough scales that stone tools weren’t able to break open were darkening at beneath the flames.

This was the power of the ancient fire seed!

The beast stopped in its tracks from the pain it felt from the fire. It let out a chain of painful roars.
