Chapter 489 - Into The Ocean

The carriage had several problems after the shower of rocks. Before Chaoqiu and Feng City arrived, they would repair it before setting off once again.

“I refuse to believe our people will lose to them!”

Although they had witnessed Shao Xuan’s power, due to Yi Zong and Ji Lu saying that it was impossible for Flaming Horn to maintain such strength, they believed the opportunity to attack would come. Plus the desert region was in front. After that was the ocean. Their army was large, Flaming Horn would be forced into a dead end.

When they thought about it, the army, initially sulking due to their defeat, finally perked up again.

Flaming Horn had entered the semi-desert region. They did not directly use the water they carried in their flasks. Instead, they drank from cactus sap.

After a harsh winter, although many cacti died, most survived. When the ice melted, all these cacti absorbed so much water they looked swollen now.

Flaming Horn tribesmen rarely encountered such dry weather. They’d always lived in the forest with abundant water. However, they had to bear with this. They must get used to this.

Shao Xuan and the buffer team followed a distance back. They had sent several people to catch up and report what happened. That was why the tribe was not too worried about them.

There were several depressions in the ground perhaps due to past stagnant water. The soil was swill moist with weeds. All the tribesmen living here avoided Flaming Horn as much as they could, staring both cautiously and curiously. They had never seen a situation like that before. Why would such a large tribe move here? WEre they going to settle here? They already had so little resources, competition would be intense!

Days passed. Along the way, Shao Xuan saw the bird in the sky too, knowing that it was watching the Flaming Horn tribe. King City’s army must still be behind them. They wouldn’t give up this easily. At most, they would be more cautious.

Shao Xuan saw Maka tribesmen too but did not know them. He didn’t see Wanfu. These people were very guarded too so Shao Xuan did not greet them.

The tribe’s path avoided the settlements within this semi-desert region to prevent unnecessary conflict.

Temperatures rose quickly. It was very dry. When Shao Xuan saw the familiar mist, he got his tribe to quickly collect dew. They were lucky.

After passing through the mist, Shao Xuan could smell the ocean and heard waves crashing upon the shore.

“The ocean’s right in front.” Xiang Chen had been there several times, he was familiar with the place. Now that they were at the end, they all could only wait for the shamaness’ instructions. The shamaness said this was where their ancestors came from. But how would they return? Would they swim? Make several ships? There weren’t enough trees here to make ships. Nothing changed with the sea too. Not like how a tunnel formed for Shao Xuan to cross.

A group of people stared at the ocean in awe. It was their first time seeing the ocean. The ocean was huge, much larger than what they imagined. But they couldn’t see the other side of it so how would they cross?

It was also the shamaness’ first time here. She looked out at the ocean that extended to the horizon., then told everyone to rest. She went to look for SHao Xuan.

Now, Shao Xuan and the buffer team were already with them. When he saw her, he said, “I’ll go underwater to check.”

Putting his leather pouch down, Shao Xuan waded into the water and swam to the deeper parts.
