Chapter 460 - Destruction
Chapter 460
Destruction
Under the night sky, a row of people hurried across the salt flats. The ground crackled as if an animal was moving ahead.
The night was dark but the troop did not light a fire. Zheng Luo initially wanted to use Shao Xuan’s glowing rocks to light the way. Even advanced totemic warriors could not function well in almost complete darkness. However, glowing rocks would be very obvious in this dark night from afar.
Shao Xuan volunteered to lead. After walking for a while, he understood what sort of grounds should be avoided or were more dangerous. He was clear on which direction they were headed too.
There was no light but Shao Xuan had his extraordinary vision. He could clearly see the terrain, the puddles and the salt flowers.
With Shao Xuan leading, the rest were not worried that they might hit a salt flower or step into a shallow pool. If one tripped and accidentally ingested some salt on the ground, one would die. Then their plans would go south.
Shao Xuan maintained the speed they had during the day, leading the way in front. After some initial scepticism, Zheng Luo finally relaxed and followed closely behind him.
The troop travelled in a very narrow, long formation. This reminded him of the times in the tribe when the children played games. The first time he went out hunting, he had travelled like this with his spear too. But he was running for his life then, this was just travelling.
“Yes, sir!” The people who receive orders went to the Shen’s cave next door to instruct the sleeping recruited tribesmen, sending them to the Flaming Horn cave.
At the cave, the parts near the mouth of the cave had already collapsed. Everyone was working to destroy more parts.
“The rocks here are difficult to break,” said one man swinging his hammer, stopping to wipe his sweat.
“Yeah, it’s getting more difficult as we go deeper,” said another.
“Shut up and get to work!” roared a Shen tribesman watching the workers.
The Fox and Shen tribesmen were here to watch these recruits. If they did not guard the place, they could easily be cheated. That was why the guard monitoring the lands scattered with boulders turned around to help watch these workers too.
It was just at this point, in the lands, outside the mines, there was a furious roar.
Zheng Luo’s face contorted with rage. He had just arrived with his men, and he saw these people destroying his tribe’s salt cave!
To enter undetected, he had tried to suppress his anger. Now that they were close enough, he could no longer keep down the fire. Not just Zheng Luo, everyone else was pissed too.
