Chapter 698
We Share Nothing In Common
No matter how much they disliked the Longboat tribe before, Shao Xuan had to admit that there were some things about the Longboat tribe that won their respect.
“I can’t believe your ancestors had plans to move since such a long time ago. It’s too bad we never noticed!” a member of the Hui tribe exclaimed in shock.
Regardless of how shocked and stunned they were, all of their emotions changed when their ships entered the sea from the small stream.
While the others didn’t feel any different, the Longboat tribesmen were all excited. Something else seemed to have awakened from within them.
“So this is what the sea feels like!” Mu Fa looked toward the endless sea in front of him. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply as he felt the waves hitting on their ships. Slowly, he opened his eyes again and looked towards where the sky met the sea.
At this moment, every Longboat tribe member felt the same emotions Mu Fa felt. Pride and excitement filled their hearts.
The sea! They’re actually out at sea!
They had seen it once when they went to the desert, but they had never been out at sea on a ship.
Before, whenever they saw the sea, it was as if they could sense a voice calling out to them from the deep blue ocean. Although the water here was not pure blue, they knew that they would definitely reach that deep ocean blue if they kept advancing.
In their hearts, they yearned for a brighter future and held great expectations. These emotions gave them courage and boosted their fighting spirit.
Although the Longboat tribe was once a major tribe, most people had only associated them with “ships, rivers, flames, and streams.” They had never been acknowledged for any of their major achievements. It seemed to most people that they were just a tribe that travelled on their ships who sailed without any final destination in mind, and most people would just feel like they were either showing off their ship-crafting skills or going out for a trade. Some people would think that they were looking for a target to attack, but no one knew what their true intentions were. Besides trading and going back and forth in rivers on their ships, it seemed like they had nothing else to do.
One generation after another, for no one knew exactly for how long, the Longboat tribe’s ancestors had been working hard to open up this water route. They were limited by their primitive fire seed before and couldn’t travel too far, so they couldn’t travel too far away to other places in the world. Now, without the restrictions from the fire seed, it was finally their chance to shine!
They were no longer travelling down winding streams. Now, it was the vast sea! To them, the open sea held too many unknown factors. It was so marvellous and extraordinary that they couldn’t help but feel a sense of ambition and pride in their hearts!
The power of the fire seed charged up within them and rose long with their rising emotions. The merging process was still not yet complete, but the power of the fire seed was already flowing rapidly through their veins and spread throughout their body!
Whoosh!
Totemic flames suddenly burned on the bodies of the Longboat tribesmen as the totemic lines appeared on their skin.
Their blood was boiling. Every cell within their body celebrated with joy. This was what every generation of the Longboat tribe had been waiting for. Now this dream was finally fulfilled!
The passion and ambition that stemmed from the glory of their line of descent gave them strength. Now, even if they were facing an endless sea with giant strong waves, they wouldn’t retreat at all.
“Ah—” Mu Fa stood on the bow of the first ship and roared out loud, “We, the Longboat tribe, will charge on ahead! Nothing can stop us!”
“We, the Longboat tribe, will charge on ahead! Nothing can stop us!”
“Nothing can stop us!”
“Nothing can stop us!”
All the Longboat tribesmen roared from the fifteen ships. It was as if they wanted to let out all the emotion that had been suppressed deep within their hearts.
They were the first team to ever enter into the great sea. They were about to be the first group of Longboat tribesmen to step onto the other continent since the last ten thousand years!
They were paddling against the current and needed manpower to row the ships. That was why every ship in front had a few Flaming Horn members. Their strength was needed on every ship.
On one of these ships, Guang Yi was watching the Longboat tribesmen as they roared in excitement. He asked Duo Kang, “What’s wrong with them?”
“Nothing, they’re a little cuckoo,” Duo Kang replied.
Guang Yi, “….Oh.”
