Chapter 493 - The 4th Lock

“What?” Ao asked, puzzled.

Shao Xuan told him about the situation on the other side of the sea. The past winter was very odd, both coasts showed extreme weather on both sides of the spectrum!

As one side froze, the other side was so hot they didn’t want to wear clothes.

As he spoke, Ao fell deep in thought. Shao Xuan’s descriptions were worse than the climate they faced at the large river.

No one was settled knowing that the climate had changed. Although they had many speculations, they hadn’t expected it to be this serious.

“No matter what, it’s fine if everything remains the same after this. If this year’s winter becomes hotter, we will have to make preparations accordingly.” Even warm weather was not a good thing. Plants would loose their original rhythm of life, the habits of forest beasts would be ruined. If they wanted to maintain their harvests and stores, they had to be prepared.

However, there was about half a year more- there were more pressing matters.

The whole troop rested and regrouped for three days. They could not stay for long because food and water were constant problems. If this continued, the situation would worsen.

Several beasts helped carry a portion of the patients. Ao also instructed some people to carry the patients. Even if they were tired, they were still in better condition than the people who just crossed the ocean.

Even if the situation wasn’t the best, everyone was still in a good mood. Joy was motivation enough.

Shao Xuan got Sapphire to let its army follow behind them, travelling underground. This was because the beetles would scare other desert beasts away. While in the past they didn’t want to meet the beasts, now they needed food!

That was why when a large scorpion appeared, everyone’s eyes turned green. When the fierce scorpion suddenly felt a wave of more intense aggression, its waving tail froze and it turned to run.

Whoosh—

Tens of people sprinted out. The scorpion didn’t stand a chance.

Guihe and the rest wanted to show off in front of their brother tribe. “Let us do it, you all back off! We’ll do it ourselves! You rest, we should be the ones serving you!”

While Duo Kang and the rest said, “You don’t have to, really! We can do it! We haven’t hunted in so long, we’re itching to hunt!”

The scorpion was not enough for the whole tribe. Even the several beasts felt like minor characters in their show. Their cool, majestic stance was ruined by that beetle, until now, they hadn’t had a chance to do anything.

Most of the time, the tribe waited until the sun dimmed before travelling. During the day, they rested.

It was impossible for such a large group of people to avoid attention.

When Flaming Horn entered the desert, Rock Hill had already sent spies to watch them. However, they encountered the insect swarm and couldn’t follow. They sent a report to their leaders and stood guard in several points, preventing tribesmen from robbing them again. If they hadn’t kept their important goods first, the tribesmen would’ve taken more.

During the desert wars, many tribesmen took the opportunity of the chaos to rob them of metal weapons. These desert folk had a very bad impression of tribesmen. That was why they grew cautious when they saw a thousand tribesmen enter the desert like that. In the past, they had seen tribesmen but not on this scale. They even brought beasts!
