Buffer
They travelled from the grasslands to an even more barren land where Shao Xuan once discovered the Thousand Grain Gold. Based on what Ji Ju taught him about recognising herbs, he instructed the tribesmen to collect some.
Many incidents happened along the way from attackers to dangers within the forest. The medics used up a lot of medicine. Even the sacks given by Taihe were almost empty. They picked herbs and medicine along the way but at this rate, not much was left either. The ones who hadn’t had their totemic power awakened and the elderly became sick as the journey grew longer.
It had been twenty days since they left the village. There was still a long way to go. They must prepare more medicine if they want to survive.
Shao Xuan taught them about regional medicinal herbs so they could pick some.
He looked up. Shao Xuan noticed a bird flying past. He couldn’t see what it looked like as it flew too high. It was agile too, it would be difficult to shoot it down.
“What?” asked Zheng Luo.
“That bird. It’s here again.” Shao Xuan pointed at the faint dot in the sky.
It was true. The shamaness did not refuse. After hearing Shao Xuan tell her about staying, she stared at him for ten minutes, expressionless. Even Shao Xuan was sweating. Then, she said flatly, “Just go.”
If it wasn’t for the green veins bulging in her hand holding her walking stick, other people would’ve thought she was as calm as she looked.
At this point, no one could remain calm. The confusion and uncertainty about their future was worrying. However, they had already travelled far. They could not turn back.
After crossing the barren mountains, the lands were flat and vast. There was evidence of human activity too. Due to frequent travelling, there were several paths on the ground.
There were trading parties travelling in the area, though much smaller than groups like the Black Bears. These grounds only had about a hundred members, some only had twenty to thirty members.
Everyone looked at Flaming Horn with curiosity. They hadn’t met Flaming Horn before, wondering who these odd people were. They all looked travel-worn, all of their clothes were dirty, their faces tired yet there was an undeniable force.
They weren’t people you’d want to provoke. This was everyone’s first impression.
Hence, everyone looked down and quickly left, worried Flaming Horn might rob them.
Shao Xuan looked up at the sky. The bird was gone but that did not mean they weren’t being watched. In contrast, their enemies thought there was no need for surveillance because they were here.
