Chapter 505
You Do It
Huang Ye and his people had robbed many slave masters in the desert, hence they had many metal wares in their inventory. Before entering the forest, they had already prepared gifts if needed, bringing along a lot of metal wares.
Their impression of the Flaming Horns was that they rarely left the forest and must not have seen much. That was why they brought second-tier goods, mostly bottles and cans and very few weapons.
However, at this point, Huang Ye and the other two did not feel like they had the upper hand at all. They had deliberately put a large wooden crate in the empty space nearby, yet the crate was largely ignored. There was a ‘chip’ in the corner of the box to reveal the golden-coloured wares inside so the goods looked very shiny in the sunlight streaming from the windows.
The Flaming Horns did not look at the box at all. Even if they saw it, they merely gave it one look and nothing more. Especially the man who mocked them, he had taken a look of contempt at the box. As his eyes swept towards them, the condescension did not fade.
All three men were furious. They had never been treated like this when they visited other tribes! Only Flaming Horns would do this.
The Flaming Horns implied one thing- they were a stubborn bunch, if I don’t want to tell you anything, you can’t force me to.
But the secret of the fire seed was like a cat’s paw, scratching within their hearts.
Zheng Luo started to space out as he reminisced about their good neighbour, Taihe.
All three fell silent once more. They thought about this too, though none planned to act immediately. The two years they camped in the desert had benefited them greatly but they also had wounded men. Time was needed for recuperation. If it wasn’t for the fire seed, they would not offer to team up against Wanshi. They would not be too insistent on wiping out Wanshi either. In reality, Wanshi helped curb Flaming Horn. At least Flaming Horn couldn’t call themselves king here. If Flaming Horn prospered, they would become a threat.
Shao Xuan also came to the same conclusion. However, he knew the Flaming Horns well. This time, Flaming Horn planned to go through with it. Wanshi would be the lab rat for their newfound power.
In this place, one would only get power and influence through working hard and fighting for it. It was the most primitive law. Shao Xuan would bet that if Flaming Horn agreed to work with them today, even if Wanshi was obliterated, other people would say Flaming Horn only succeeded because there were other tribes involved. Their shaman would vomit blood if he heard this.
To the Flaming Horns, they believed in fighting for their dignity on their own, getting help did not count as success. They insisted on it.
If Flaming Horn wanted to return to its prior glory, then the Wanshi tribe was a good stepping stone. Only one could stand on this stepping stone, and that was Flaming Horn!
“About Wanshi… Our tribe will arrange for it accordingly, don’t worry about us,” said Shao Xuan.
Qiu Gu and the other two did not give up. They continued talking only to receive stubbornness in return.
When they were told to leave the forest, Qiu Gu and the rest were frustrated. How stubborn could the Flaming Horns be?
“Do you think Flaming Horn will actually declare war against Wanshi?” asked Qiu Gu.
“Not sure. Although they look as if they are easy to read, who knows what they’re really thinking?” At this point, Gu Zhi had branded Flaming Horn as a ‘cunning’ bunch.
“We’ll wait and see. If they really think so, then war will come soon,” said Huang Ye in a low voice. The Flaming Horns had always been stubborn.
