Chapter 512
The Fire of Wanshi
The shaman of the Wanshi tribe stood by the fire pit with a taunting look on his face. He listened carefully to the sound of battle nearby, unmoving.
There was not a single Wanshi tribesman by his side. The nearest warrior was fifty meters away.
With the Wanshi fire pit at the center, there was a circular patch of empty ground. The Wanshi shaman was the only one present within the fifty-meter radius.
A fiery glow with a tinge of grey danced within the fire pit. It was Wanshi’s colour.
The shaman was once worried when their flames had died down into only a small fireball. However, soon after Flaming Horn’s fire seed disappeared, their fire seed seemed to be rejuvenated after losing one more opponent. It returned to its original vibrancy before the arrival of the Flaming Horns.
This reassured the shaman. Though he did not know why Flaming Horn’s fire seed disappeared or how their warriors retained their initial strength, he knew that without the suppression of the Flaming Horn’s fire seed, their own fire seed could unleash its true powers!
Why should they fear the Flaming Horns? Flaming Horn did not have a fire seed but Wanshi did!
The ground around the fire pit was already filled with grey flames. The second ring was quickly forming. These flames seemed to be growing upwards to form a tall mountain!
The fireballs were landing quickly. With the Wanshi people blocking them, the first batch of Flaming Horn warriors could not run out of range in time.
These warriors felt an invisible force pressing on them, a freezing current pressing up on them so every hair stood on their bodies. They did not look up to check the skies but they could feel the force of a mountain on them, as if even the ground would collapse on itself.
The effects of another tribe’s fire seed limited their mobility, even running was much more difficult. Their breaths ragged, faces pale… but they could still feel the growing weight on their bodies. Even moving their feet was too difficult now.
The shadow of death loomed over the warriors’ heads. Behind them, countless grey fireballs getting closer and closer to them. Every fireball fell with the power of rolling thunder, as if slamming into the ground with the force of a mountain.Death hung around as the grey fire spread at alarming speeds.
The sky was covered in a layer of grey fire, blocking out the morning sun. A sense of danger lingered.
The flowing air currents brought bone-piercing cold.
This was the last defense of the Wanshi tribe! Also the strongest!
So that was why the hunt leader trusted the fire seed’s power so much.
To the tribesmen, the fire seed was the most sacred, most powerful object. The fire seed held the power of the skies and the earth!
The Wanshi people believed that no one could break their defenses unless there was a more powerful fire seed. However, with the concept of ‘the fire seed growing roots in their fire pit’ as the source of power, which tribe would dare bring their fire seed out of their tribe?
They dared build their village outside the Fearsome Beast Forest only because they believed that all beasts would avoid their tribe because of their fire seed!
While the Wanshi fire seed might not be as powerful as the ancient, major tribes, here, they were kings! They were the gods of this world!
The slave masters chose to lean on the Wanshi tribe not out of convenience, they had their reasons.
The slave masters made this decision because they saw potential for Wanshi to grow into a powerful major tribe!
