Chapter 687 Prepare to Harves (2/2)

“Alright, we got it!” the middle aged person answered immediately.

He’er continued going from one household to the next, informing the others about the news. There were many wanderers and many caves here, he had to deliver the news as quickly as possible.

Even though the people in the cave didn’t know what exactly was happening, they did as they were told.

The Flaming Horn tribespeople were also busy preparing on the mountain they resided. There were many traps set in front of Old Ke’s house. “I heard a lot of birds are coming. Let’s make sure they don’t leave!”

Caesar was also helping on the side. Occasionally he looked over where the bat leader was with watchful eyes.

Two days went by.

Early that morning, Shao Xuan already told Ao and the others, “Get ready. The thousand-grain gold is ripening today. Around this afternoon.”

The atmosphere in the Flaming Horn tribe was growing tense.

Shao Xuan stood beside the thousand-grain gold plantation. He looked at the golden grains. They were even taller than back when they were on the other side of the sea. There were more grains now too. The grains swayed heavily in the wind, shining golden in the sun.

The shadow of the wooden stick that stood erect on the ground shortened gradually.

Far away, some birds were already flying over from the forest.

It was close to the thousand-grain gold’s ripening hour. There were fewer insects because their natural predator was here. Some birds were omnivores. They ate both insects and grains, so since they were here, the insects had to leave.

The insects didn’t have to fret if it was only two or three birds, but what if it was a flock?

Shao Xuan blew the whistle. Two sharp and loud sounds rang into the distance.

The people who heard the signal immediately reacted.

The wanderers who were told to stay quietly at home heard the noises of wings flapping outside. Some of them looked out their doors. Birds of different sizes were all waiting at their door, and judging by the sounds, more birds were coming.

Some of them wanted to catch a bird, but after they heard the whistle, they immediately shut the door tightly and locked it. They also shut all of their windows and left only small openings to see what was going on outside. More birds were descending. The birds were even fighting outside their door.

High up in the air, Wu He and the other six all observed from afar. They rode on the backs of their long-winged birds.

“What happened?”

“Why is this happening?”

“So...so many of them!”

It was exactly because they were flying high in the sky that they saw a clearer and wider picture.

They saw that flocks of birds were flying to the Flaming Horn tribe from the forest. To be exact, they were all heading for the Flaming Horn’s farms. Perhaps their target was the golden glittering patch of land that the Flaming Horns were guarding tightly.

The long-winged birds that they enslaved were all carnivores and didn’t eat any vegetables. They never ate any grains, so they weren’t interested in the grains in the Flaming Horn farms. Perhaps they also figured that these grains were special, but they didn’t react as wildly as the birds that were flying over.

“It’s definitely something valuable there!” someone exclaimed passionately. His eyes were burning with desire.

“I heard that the Flaming Horns went to the Golden Grains Field once, and Ji Ju also gifted them some presents,” Wu He said.

Wu He went there once personally to inquire, and he even found some shocking news, or else why would the Flaming Horns be his first target after he came here?

The eyes of the other six gleamed with curiosity as they heard this.

“Could it be that those are grown from the seeds that came from the Golden Grains field?”

“It might really be those secretly grown grains in the Golden Grains field!”

“Nice! Luckily we came this time!”

The seven Chang Le people couldn’t let such an opportunity slip away from their hands.

What was the status of the Golden Grains field? That was the land that belonged to the famous Ji Ju! All of the crops that came from there mattered greatly to the aristocrats. All the guards there were carefully chosen. They could not be compared to the normal guards in the King City. Those fields outside the King City were the hardest to enter. If anyone dared to sneak in or barge in, they would not be able to make it out. Not even a carcass would be left behind. What was left of them would be made into fertiliser.

However, it was different here. This was the Flaming Horn tribe, not at all strict as the Golden Grains field.

What a chance!

“Hahaha, can’t believe we found something like this!”

“Do you see those birds?” Wu He pointed at the flock that was approaching the Flaming Horn tribe. “Let’s make a move when these birds are giving them trouble!”

“Does that even need to be said?”

If they flew in with this flock, they wouldn’t be easily noticed, and they could even grab some of the grains if they get the chance.

In stark contrast to the excited Chang Le’s, the seven long-winged birds that they were riding on were all anxious. They were even looking pitifully at the birds that were flying to the Flaming Horn tribe.

On the thousand-grain gold plantation, Shao Xuan was fully focused on the glittering land in front of him. All around the farm, warriors held swords and tools for harvesting as they waited for Shao Xuan’s command.
