Chapter 451 - What Happens Next?
Within the tower, the bunch of people who were pathetically panicking froze when they heard the cracking sounds and look towards its source.
Everyone in the tower had been brutally affected by the energy waves. Some people were crouching, some standing while leaning against the stone pillar. When he heard the sounds, the person leaning against the thick stone pillar stopped breathing. His eyes widened as he stared at the stone pillar like he had seen something unbelievable.
A long crack appeared on the pillar, extending upwards like an unstoppable snake. It swam under his palm up to the top.
Feeling the vibrations under his hand, the person leapt and ran immediately.
“Run! It’s collapsing!
As if the wicker to a bomb had been ignited, everyone exploded in panic. Without caring for their clothes and hair, everyone rushed down the tower.
Crack— Crack crack—
“I want to ride one, take a nap,” said Shao Xuan.
Maoda’s eyes flashed, understanding that Shao Xuan might not be as well as he looked.
With a shrug, he said, “Take any one of them.”
Shao Xuan chose the nearest one. It was coincidentally the bear that wanted to attack him when they first met.
When Shao Xuan approached, the bear shuddered and wanted to hide. Too bad Shao Xuan had already sat on his back. After, the bear walked awkwardly and lost all rhythm in its feet, almost tripping itself over.
In the past, he was cautious of Shao Xuan. Now, he was terrified. However, since Shao Xuan did not do anything after getting on its back, it slowly relaxed.
Shao Xuan had to rest so his injuries would recover. He had faced such a huge force- from his neck to his shoulder, every bone and muscle seemed to groan. He could feel his body getting heavier by the second as every movement became more difficult.
However, with his rejuvenation abilities, a nap would greatly improve his situation. That was why once they were out of the city and no one was watching, he slept ton the bear’s back.
Guang Yi didn’t speak, guarding the back of the bear. At the same time, he was thinking. If Shao Xuan was so powerful, would he be able to find a way across the ocean? The shamaness and chief had placed all their hopes on Shao Xuan. In the past, Guang Yi was sceptical. Now, he thought, perhaps Shao Xuan could.
He was very interested in the other branch of the tribe. At the village, when his old friends ate together, they’d talk about their brothers in the other tribe. It had been a thousand years but the Flaming Horn people still did not develop strong feelings for this piece of land. The shamaness said this was not where they should be, that was why they did not feel like they belonged.
If outsiders attacked, Guang Yi would guard the tribe with the rest. However, if they could not defend, and the shamaness and chief decided they had to move, they would not be too emotional about it. Every year, they’d hear about some tribe moving. Some moved from the forest to somewhere with more people. Others were forced to leave their centuries-old homes to hide in the mountains.
When the fire seed did not root itself in one place, the humans did not root themselves either. They just floated and landed wherever they could. Some tribes scattered and never reunited again. Other tribes’ values became distorted– like the Linlu tribe.
What would happen to the Flaming Horn tribe?
Guang Yi looked at the falling yellowed leaves in the mountain. He hadn’t been this emotional in a while.
