Chapter 491
Hello, Brother
As they travelled, Shao Xuan could clearly feel the bone ornaments weakening.
In the beginning, the seawater was a distance away from them. After that, the open-air sections shortened in the front and back so the troop had to shorten their lines and squeeze together.
It was the first time they left the land they’d lived in for so long, the first time they walked on such a peculiar path. After the awe had worn off, all there was left was anxiety.
They feared the tall walls of water on both sides, worried that the bone ornaments might not have enough strength to sustain the journey, worried that the walls would collapse and drown them all. They felt how small they were in this vast ocean. Their future was uncertain.
There were many in this tribe who did the same thing every day. They had their daily routines. But now? They didn’t know what would happen. However, if the tribe was here, everyone was here. They were willing to die together.
Shao Xuan looked ahead. Although he could only see seawater before him, he felt a sense of familiarity.
His first slave, that blue beetle was there. Other than the beetle, there was one more…
Everyone turned to look at the blue beetle as it fluttered its wings, flying towards the flame.
Everyone stood in stunned silence.
Aargh! The guy can fly!
After a thought, Guihe made his falcon follow the beetle.
Shao Xuan was holding on, using all his might to control the tunnel. He had fire crystals but it was still exhausting. He was almost at his breaking point, every muscle screamed. But the land was close! He could smell the sand and dust in the air.
Sensing something, he forgot about his sweat and looked up.
Everyone heard the sound of vibrating wings and looked up.
Shao Xuan grinned when he saw the familiar block of blue.
“Sapphire. Long time no see.”
When he heard Shao Xuan, Zheng Luo gestured for everyone to put down their weapons.
Everyone watched as the enormous beetle lowered itself, following above Shao Xuan’s head.
There was also a screech in the skies. It wasn’t Chacha but Guihe’s white falcon. If it was here, then Guihe and the rest were here too.
With this information, Shao Xuan finally relaxed. The fire crystal in his fist had already turned into white powder. He gestured for Zheng Luo to pass another fire crystal.
“We’re here. There’s only the last section left. Hold on! Our brothers are here to greet us!” As he spoke, Shao Xuan sent Sapphire to bring the weakest elderly and children up to the coast first.
Zheng Luo first chose three people- one old person and two children. They were not doing well, severely ill. They had to be carried, for they were already unconscious.
Receiving Shao Xuan’s command, Sapphire grabbed the three people. Its first reaction was to roll these people up into balls and roll them away. Then after some thought, it realised these were live people. It had never carried live humans before.
A weight lifted as they watched Sapphire carry the three away. At the same time, they sensed friendliness from this region, like they were meeting their blood once again.
On the cliff, Ao had already received the three people and then sent his people to care for them.
“Where’s the rope? Prepare some rope!” roared Ao.
“Chief, there isn’t enough rope. We used some to catch fish.”
After some thought, he looked down at the leather clothes tired around his waist. Since it was hot out, most of them were topless, only putting on clothes at night when it was colder. He took it off. “Use this if we don’t have rope!”
If one shirt wasn’t enough, one thousand shirts would definitely suffice!
All of them were wearing fearsome beast skin- flexible but strong.
As they tied the clothes together, Ao rubbed his reddened eyes. He felt like crying.
The flames were approaching land, the people on the path could see the people on the cliff.
We’ve been separated for too many years.
Hello, brother.
