Chapter 691 Prisoners of War (1/2)

Those two birds were lucky, but the other five suffered a different fate.

Even though it was just flames, the force that it brought was undoubtedly powerful.

As the Flame Giant’s hands slapped down on them, it passed right through their bodies. The burning energy burned through them, and they felt like they were burning from the inside, a wave of burning pain.

Those were not real flames, but flames originating from the totemic flame of the fire seed. Just like how some people’s skin was covered with a layer of flames as they activated their totemic power. This was similar to it, except no one had been able to summon such a huge giant like Shao Xuan. They could not comprehend this at all. Only those who came for the Flaming River Grand Feast wouldn’t be surprised by this.

Most tribespeople were apprehensive towards foreign powers that were extremely powerful. They were all knocked out of their conscious minds for a while. They only recovered and felt the shivers from the fright after the flames slowly disappeared.

The Flaming Horns who were guarding at the bridge post looked away from the scene. The others didn’t know what that was, but they knew it clearly. They proudly expressed in their hearts, ‘Nice one, Grand Elder!’

Seeing how trouble was still laid out in front of them, the Flaming Horn guards over here became stern and looked at the crowd of foreign tribal members who gathered here. The Grand Elder’s actions already gave them the mental support they needed. They didn’t need to overthink. As long as they did what they needed to do, even if they couldn’t hold these people back, the Grand Elder would be here to deal with these people.

Seeing how the Flaming Horn guards at the bridge were looking at them with stern expressions, the person who was complaining the most suddenly stopped. He forced a smile and turned around to leave after a short “Haha”.

They must be kidding. No one would want to suffer a blow from such a massive flame giant. They no longer thought about barging right across the bridge. What if the person who came by saw them?

Seeing the change in the situation, they no longer thought about forcefully crossing the bridge. Even though the Flaming Horns were not exactly the same as they were described in the rumours, they were quite scary. They didn’t want to start a conflict with the Flaming Horns. As for how they wanted to test the Flaming Horn’s patience…

Whoever had the courage could try. They no longer wished to test their patience anymore.

“But leader, aren’t we going for a walk on the Giant Bridge?” someone asked.

“We can wait until the Flaming Horns finish with their matters. We can come back next time.” The Giant Bridge of the Flaming River was no longer their main focus.

The most important thing was, they no longer viewed the Flaming Horns the same way as before. The Flaming Horns’ ratings would definitely soar once again.

Since those people who were causing a ruckus already left, the other people were also afraid and wouldn’t stay here any longer. The people at the back of the crowd looked again where the Flame Giant appeared. Since the Chang Le’s were already defeated, the Flaming Horns would definitely not let them escape. They might even kill them right away. The Flaming Horns definitely wouldn’t let them live after they stole their goods.

Luckily they didn’t make any reckless moves. These individuals looked at each other and rejoiced. At least it wasn’t them. For now, it was best to observe and wait a little longer. Change of plans: They no longer wanted to go to the Flaming Horn headquarters.

On the other side, Shao Xuan was running towards the five individuals who had been slapped down from the sky. Two others were escaping in the air. He did not chase after them. He also didn’t summon the Flame Giant from the elder’s bones anymore.

All of them, human or bird, felt terrible after they suffered a blow from the Giant’s slap, especially the bird and human who were already injured. Even if the person who was severely injured was protected by the long-winged bird’s cushion, he also passed out and died immediately after suffering the strong blow.

They finally fell to the ground after struggling through the branches. The Chang Le member was groaning in pain. He was so out of breath that his face turned red. He seemed ready to cough, but somehow he just couldn’t cough. He tried his best to breathe in heavily. The muscles on his face were sore and twitching.

Wu He helped his companions up from the ground and observed Shao Xuan carefully as he approached them. His eyes were focused on the giant green sword in Shao Xuan’s hand.

The blade carried heavy murderous energy. Even if it hadn’t killed any humans, it must have killed a lot of fearsome beasts. Now, this sharp blade was aimed directly at them.

Some of them had broken bones in their legs and some immediately fainted after they suffered the slap. They couldn’t escape together even if they wanted to.

Whoosh-

People were approaching from within the forest.

“Grand Elder!”

The people Ta sent over arrived. Seeing the five strangers, anger flashed across their eyes. They carried a fierce murderous vide as they walked over, but they didn’t make a move right away. Instead, they looked at Shao Xuan and waited for him to speak.

“Tie them up,” Shao Xuan said.

“Huh?” The people who came already prepared axes in their hands and were ready to execute. They were stunned by what Shao Xuan said. They didn’t understand what he meant, so they asked again, “Kill them and then tie them up?”

“No, we need them alive.”

Wu He and his companions heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Shao Xuan said. They were already injured when they went to steal the grains, but the force from the slap was an injury on their previous injury. Even Wu He, who wasn’t severely injured, couldn’t summon even half of the energy he usually was able to summon. But it was a different case for the Flaming Horns. Shao Xuan had slapped them down from the sky, but they weren’t sure what he was about to do next. More Flaming Horn warriors came to reinforce too, so it was too difficult for them to fight back even if they wanted to. This was the Flaming Horn’s territory after all.
