The rain poured down on the earth.
With the arrival of the rainy season, those huge river rulers began their annual migration.
In some invisible places of the river, there were many aquatic creatures doing the same thing as the river rulers.
Compared with the active creatures in the river, the people of the Flaming Horns tribe were much quieter. Except the guards who were arranged to stay in various places, most people stayed at home.
One insect climbed out from an unknown place and it was moving its countless claws to climb into the house very fast.
After finishing carving the words, he added a word at the end of that sentence: “Xuan”.
Standing up, Shao Xuan blocked the vent with stones and straw, and then went out.
A gust of wind was blowing, and he could still smell the smell of fish.
Shao Xuan looked at the stone wall close to the entrance of the cave. There were still some words left carved by him when he hadn’t awakened the totem power yet, and some pictures drawn by him with carbonized twigs.
Besides Shao Xuan’s paintings, a variety of traces were left here, for the children had lived here for nearly a thousand year. There were also fish bones, old beast skins, and messy straw in piles…
Exiting the cave, Shao Xuan moved a big stone not far from the cave to block the entrance of the cave in order to cover the cave.
When he arrived at the mountain top, everything had been moved away. He didn’t need to do anything else, but the Shaman did not let him leave.
Besides Shao Xuan, Chief Ao, the two teamleaders, Mai and the other heads of hunting teams, and a few elderly people always involved in the discussion had not left.
The Shaman led them to the top, and then came down. The Shaman was holding a small flame in his hand. The flame was much smaller than it was in the fire pit, like that of a birthday candle. It was held in the palm of his hand.
Chief Ao went next to the Shaman, and Gui Ze, as the next shaman, helped the Shaman hold the stick and stood on the other side, slightly behind Ao. The others were standing around to protect the Shaman.
While walking along the road of glory down the mountain, on both sides of the road, two rows of warriors were standing there. All of them were intermediate totem warriors or above.
When the Shaman passed them, the standing warriors knelt down to show their greatest respect. They rose when the Shaman left and followed him in the back. Each of them had red eyes.
The Shaman didn’t go fast from the road of glory to the artificial lake where twenty-three ships were moored. However, no one complained about this. The people who had boarded were not impatient.
The largest ship had been docked and a wooden ladder was put down from the top.
On the ship, there was a “fire pit” as small as the basin. The Shaman brought the fire seed to the ship and then placed it into the small “fire pit”.
When the Shaman was ready, Ao announced the beginning of their voyage.
Woo~~!
The sound of a bone horn was heard. Then each person in charge of each ship gave the order to start the voyage.
They had received training, though they could not control the ships as skillfully as Shao Xuan did.
All the ship had left the artificial lake one by one. The water gate between the lake and the river was opened, so the ships gradually entered the river after leaving the channel.

At the head of the fleet,
“Well, be careful. Don’t separate from the fleet!” Ao roared.
The fleet travelled farther and farther, and the mountain they had lived looked smaller and smaller. Each of them would have the same experience which Shao Xuan had had.
Under the water, large and small piranhas were active. If you looked down while standing at the edge of the ship, you could see many big fishes which were longer than a man. When the fishes swam past the ships, they hit the ships from time to time and the ships shook.
During the journey, Shao Xuan, who had stayed in each ship to make observations, found that the farther the ship was from the central ship, the more it was hit by the fishes.
Shao Xuan hadn’t known the reason at first, but had guessed it. In his special vision, he saw that the central ship emitted a light and influenced those closest ships. That was why they were rarely hit by the fishes.
The fire seed?!
Holding Chacha’s feet, Shao Xuan went from the outer ship to the central one. He told his discovery and guess to the Shaman and the chief, but he did not tell them about his special ability.
“Because of the fire seed?” The Shaman thought about it and his eyes flashed. “Yes, the fire seed. It is able to protect the tribe from the attacks of other beasts, ferocious beasts and the fishes in the river.”
Then the Shaman read the Shaman-spell as he did in the ritual ceremony to make the flame spread across the entire fire pit. But the fire pit on the ship was much smaller.
“Let everyone get close.” The Shaman said to Ao.
Ao went out and told the Shaman’s order to everyone. The other ships got closer to the central one, but they could not get too close. If so, an accident may happen.
Out of the cabin, Shao Xuan saw the light emitted from the central ship was much brighter and also expanded to cover the ships close to it.
After that, the other ships were seldom hit by some big curious fishes, so they were safer than he had been during his lonely voyage.
Day by day, everything was going on well. In order to save time, besides the use of sails, the people on each ship took turns to paddle. This time, Chacha didn’t push the ships, but they picked up speed. Once they confirmed the direction, they directly moved forward. They tried to take a straight route, unless they encountered some floating large fish bodies and avoided the danger. After all, if they failed to reach the other side of the river before the water level dropped, all their efforts would be in vain. If so, their tribe would be extinct.
At the same time, Shao Xuan had a strange feeling again.
This time, thanks to the fire seed and more helpers, Shao Xuan had a little more leisure time. He spent his free time in observing around the river carefully. He even observed the sky, the clouds, the moon, the stars and so on.
Shao Xuan suddenly made a guess.
Perhaps the river was not as vast as he imagined.
