Chapter 752 - Welcome To The Flaming Horn Tribe (1/2)

After the fifth lock was unlocked, Sapphire dug into the depths of the desert ground and slipped into a deep slumber. Shao Xuan had no clue how long it’d take to get past this stage. If the process was successful, Sapphire would grow stronger and recover fully from its injuries. After emerging from each slumber following an unlock, Sapphire would experience changes like so. If it wasn’t successful, not only would the injuries not heal but it would also suffer from negative effects. The Flaming Horn Tribe headquarters were a considerable distance away from the desert. Even if a problem were to arise, Shao Xuan wouldn’t be able to make it back in time. Sapphire would have to fend for itself.

Not many Rock Hill City members were encountered during their journey home. Most were smaller groups, probably patrolling teams. They did not initiate attack even at the sight of the Flaming Horn convoy.

Those teams had consisted of regular slaves and not monsters. The current location was a long distance away from Rock Hill City territories, so the monsters had become a rare sight. Maybe they were all dispatched to the coastal battles.

Hence, after the whole ordeal with Su Le, Shao Xuan and his men were not met with too much trouble. They trekked in the cooler night and rested in the warmer day. Before unlocking its lock, Sapphire was the one transporting the golden armours that were stripped off Su Le’s slaves by the Flaming Horns. Now, the Flaming Horns had to carry it themselves. The weight of the armours was no big deal to them. They were even able to carry those armours along to hunt down desert beasts.

Though the armours were indeed useful, it had limited movements when donner. It was hard to get used to. Hence, the Flaming Horns had decided that the best solution was to melt the armours down to forge new weapons. Perhaps a few excellent weapons could be made.

“We’re finally out of this forsaken place!” Ta stared ahead and exclaimed.

Cha Cha was already one step ahead. It had flown out of the desert to search for the Flaming Horns that were waiting for their arrival nearby. They would be coming over to get them.

The wind stirred the sand and created a visual obstacle. Though their vision was blurry, they could still feel the presence of approaching Flaming Horns.

“Hunt Leader! Grand Elder!” Someone ran towards them.

“Were you successful? Oh? You raided someone’s party?” The welcoming party quickly helped them with the armours. From the looks of it, these did not look like it would be used by desert slaves.

“We met some trouble halfway. We looted these after we solved the issue.” Ta offered a simple explanation.

Noticing a few unfamiliar faces in the convoy, someone asked, “Are they from the Gongjia family?”

“Yes, that’s them.” After leaving the desert, Ta’s mood began to relax. He introduced the six Gongjia members to the other Flaming Horns. In consideration of the language barrier, Ta made an effort to use some coastal languages. Though he was far from fluent, Gongjia Ren and the others could understand him sufficiently.

The welcoming bunch looked at the coffin-like item on Shao Xuan’s back. They offered their assistance, only to be rejected by Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan was still unsure if this item was harmless. It would be better if he was the one carrying it. If the person inside the coffin was reanimated all of sudden, at least Shao Xuan could detect the activity right away. There was no one else capable of this.

The other person did not press questions. After the desert group was received, they intended to leave the desert as soon as possible. The mission was completed and they needed to head back soon. This place really wasn’t suitable for an extended stay. They were merely waiting for them outside the desert and they had already felt uncomfortable. It went without saying that those who entered the desert were definitely suffering.

“Move, move! Let’s go home!” Ta and others did not wish to stay another second longer in this place. Though they were exhausted from the rushed journey, they were adamant on reaching home fast.

Soon, shrubs were seen among the sandy grounds and they were no longer surrounded by a vast sea of yellow sand. The greenery brought life to their surroundings. Gongjia Ren and the others felt like they were bestowed a new life, even the Flaming Horns shared the same feeling. Their time in the desert was like a prolonged nightmare and they had almost fallen into an inescapable hell. Thank goodness everything was over.

Entering a new place, everything was fresh to the six Gongjia members. Even the air felt different.

The tribal zones were very different from their home. At the coast, there was traffic everywhere. The coastal cities were very lively. One could find many paths that lead to the city. However, this place felt a little more desolate. Forests were plenty and places with barren soil were completely voided. Only wild birds could be found in those places.

There were not many caravans that passed through here. They occasionally sighted small-scale long-distance teams that held stone tools and horn tools in their hands. Their clothes were not as exquisite and there were no gemstones to be seen. They had different values, hence their accessories were naturally different.

At the sight of the Flaming Horns, some of the groups looked nervous. Noticing the golden armour over their shoulder, some people had even tried to snatch it over. However, they failed miserably and had sustained injuries inflicted by the Flaming Horns’ weapons.
