Chapter 686 The Flaming Horns Are Famous Again (2/2)

Now, everyone in the other trading points, as long as there were places for expedition teams to rest, people were talking about how the Flaming Horns used a king beast to build the “Giant Bridge”.

Trading Points existed in many places, so not many people were really interested in the Flaming Horn’s trading point. However, they were all curious about how a king beast created a long stone bridge that extended across a giant river, so all of them set up their teams and prepared to set off for the Flaming River.

Many teams rushed to the Flaming River Trading Point as soon as they heard the news of the Flaming Horn tribe using a king beast to their advantage. They were all curious about the miraculous bridge that the king beast built, so more people gathered around to witness the incident.

People were all influenced by herd mentality. Even though some of the smaller tribes were worried when they heard about the king beast, when they saw people crowding around the place, they also went to join the excitement. Before when there was no trading point beside the Flaming River, they would only stay within their own tribe or the forests nearby the area. However, since they heard about the trading point, they fell in love with the excitement and gossip, not to mention all the goods that were available there.

This was also the main reason behind all the excitement these few days.

Seven long winged birds flew above the forest nearby the Flaming River Trading Point. There was a person riding on each bird, and they were all observing the long grey stone bridge in front of them. Everyone’s face was shocked, except Wu He.

“Too bad you guys weren’t here to watch it happen. What a pity!” Wu He looked pitifully at his friends who had just arrived at the Flaming River Trading Point. He almost said, “How could you guys be called Chang Le’s?”

One of them lifted his eyebrow, as if he wanted to say something ironic. They were indeed quite unhappy that they couldn’t see the king beast build such a majestic bridge. This was really something they regretted. It was rare for them to encounter such an interesting event.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore, Wu He. What are your plans?” The other person was already tired of Wu He’s despicable character and how he liked to show off. They had just arrived, so there were still many things they didn’t know about. Seeing how Wu He was the first among them to arrive, he must know some things that they didn’t, and they desperately needed another topic to distract them from their current regret.

“My target is not the trading point. Let’s go to the Flaming Horn headquarters. Their farms should have quite some treasures by now,” Wu He smiled as he rubbed his hands together. His eyes were full of hope.

Recently, Wu He discovered that while many people’s attention was focused on the Flaming River Trading Point, the Giant Bridge, and the new area that the Flaming Horns claimed, something else was happening at the Flaming Horn headquarters. With his sharp intuition, he could tell that the Flaming Horns were planning something else, and it was not related to the other issues at the trading point or the giant bridge. He finally came to the conclusion that there were some treasures growing in the farms at the headquarters!

“Some treasures?” The eyes of the other few all brightened. After all, this was the season of harvest.

“Splendid! We finally have something to do!” Regardless of whether there was actually a treasure there, they had to go take a look and see for themselves. They didn’t want to just sit around.

“So we’re going there now?”

“Let’s just go look around for now,” Wu He patted the bird he was riding on and pointed at the farms in the Flaming Horn headquarters. “Go!” They didn’t dare to barge right into the central region of the Flaming Horn headquarters, but they could still approach the farms from the side. The farms at the Flaming Horn headquarters were massive. Even if the Flaming Horns noticed them, not many of the Flaming Horns could actually chase them away.

But…...

After he gave his order, he waited for a while. The bird he was riding on didn’t move a single inch. It stayed at the same spot. It wasn’t just Wu He’s bird, but all six other birds behaved the same way.

“Go! Are you disobeying me?” Wu He continued to press on, and even slapped the bird on its back.

After a loud cry, the bird flew a short distance slowly and flapped its wings forcefully. It looked like it was not at all willing to fly there, and behaved even more scared than when it approached the king beast.

“What’s wrong?” someone asked.

“Coo!”

The long winged bird that Wu He was riding on cried out loud. This made Wu He even more perplexed. He frowned until his eyebrows were tightly arched.

“There’s something there that this bird is afraid of.” Wu He looked at the direction he planned to travel with a serious expression.

After he encountered the king beast’s incident, anything strange made him feel uneasy. Even though they wanted to find something fun to do, they still had to be cautious.

“Is it the giant eagle you mentioned before? The one the Flaming Horns tamed?” one of them speculated.

“No, it’s not him,” Wu He shook his head firmly, “Even though this bird is afraid of that eagle, there’s no reason for it to be THIS scared.”

Wu He patted the bird’s neck. The bird’s feathers were already on their ends, an expression of anxiety. He looked over at the other birds. They were all acting the same way.

“Have you discovered any of the Flaming Horn’s secrets during your time here?” someone beside Wu He asked.

Wu He moved his mouth, “The headquarters are too strict. It’s very different over there compared to the trading point. I haven’t even been here that long. How much can I know?”

“Don’t tell me it’s another king beast?” someone asked.

“Not very likely,” Wu He shook his head.

They were silent for a moment. Someone laughed, “Then we should really go and take a look.”

Everyone else laughed when they heard this.

This was the Chang Le people’s character. The more they didn’t know about something, the more curious they were. They wouldn’t rest if they didn’t find an answer to their doubts. The long winged birds’ reactions didn’t even make them forfeit their plan. Instead, it made them even more curious and excited. They thought to themselves, ‘If they didn’t see any king beasts, would it mean that something even more interesting was about to happen? Was it a secret the Flaming Horns kept?’ They could sell these information to other tribes for a high price.

As they thought about these, all they felt was pure joy. Hehehe…...
