ch. 375-376

Chapter 375

“You’re really… really from the other side?” the shamaness’ eyes fell on a specific spot.

Shao Xuan knew what she meant, nodding. “Yes.”

“Are all of you here? Where did you come from? Why are you wearing the Elder’s Bone?” The shamaness had always been a solemn person of few words, yet she was firing several questions at once. 

Shao Xuan answered all her questions, telling her about the thousand-year history of the tribe, the life of the other branch of the tribe and other matters of where he came from. He also told her about other tribes and the slave masters on the desert. 

“The slave masters of the desert were warring, I encountered the underwater tunnel by coincidence, that’s how I got here. The rest of them are still over there,” he said. 

When Shao Xuan spoke of their lonely lives on the other side for the past thousand years, and their difficulties, the Shamaness and the chief secretly bled for them. Their eyes welled up. 

The Flaming Horn Tribe described by their ancestors in their records were once a mighty force, yet after an incident a thousand years ago and the separation of their people, the powerful tribe had become two, surviving in the world alone. 

“As for this ornament, I found some remains of our ancestors in a stone worm’s cave while hunting. That ancestor was wearing this. After that, the shaman let me wear this. When we went back to our tribe, as the fire seed was lighted again, this ornament regained its colour,” Shao Xuan told them about the Fire Giant. 

When they heard this, the chief and the shamaness stood up emotionally, their voices solemn and the hand holding a walking stick shook. 

“Really?!” 

“It’s true.” Shao Xuan took off the bone ornament hanging from his neck and passed it to the shamaness for a better look. 

The shamaness tossed her walking stick aside, both hands carefully holding the ornament as if she was holding the most precious treasure in this world. Her eyes were filled with reverence. Then, she knelt in prayer towards a direction, two streams of tears flowed down her weathered face, dripping unto the floor. This was the first time in her life losing composure like this. 

Chief Zheng Luo and the shamaness both performed the prayer reserved only for the most respected. Although they still had a Fire Pond here, it was not as active as what it used to be. However, they prayed in the direction of their roots, for that was what their ancestors once used. 

Thud! 

Someone pushed the door open in great force, his face filled with anger and accusation. However, he paled when he saw the kneeling chief and shamaness because he was now directly in front of them. 

This person immediately leapt away, his anger dissipated in a moment. Stuttering, he asked, “What-what-what-what happened?”

There were many people squeezed outside the door, including Duo Kang, Guang Yi and many others but they did not dare barge in like that. They were all whispering outside. However, the chief’s door was made using a soundproof wood so they couldn’t hear the inside, all they could do was suppress their curiosity. They were waiting anxiously outside but when they saw the kneeling two, the crowd flew to the sides immediately. 

Upon this sudden interruption, the chief and the shamaness regained a bit of their composure. Although they were still emotional, what they wanted to know most was already known. There was time to ask about the rest. 

They named a few people for them to enter, Zheng Luo giving the guy who barged in a dirty look. The person also understood that he’d done something inappropriate so all he did was scratch his head.
