Chapter 241 - Come visit often
Translated by Lesyt Team

The Shaman was in the smallest carriage this time with Gui Ze. They were the only ones in this carriage, and without doubt, the fire seed was also placed there.
The smallest carriage was the most important one, surrounded by the most powerful warriors of the tribe. It was pulled by the turtle.
Although it was usually too lazy to move, it did not run slower than other landdwellers. It could keep up with the team in spite of its slow speed.
The number of carriages was limited, so not everyone of the fleet could get on them. Only the sick, the old, the disabled, and the pregnant of the tribe could board the carriages. The warriors did not intend to get on the carriages. Those who had not awakened their totem power tried to walk outside and didn’t get on the carriages unless they were tired.
Many children, as long as they could walk, were led by their fathers. When they were too tired, they had a rest and then got off to continue to walk.
They thought this as an exercise. They knew they could not be too weak. After knowing about the living conditions of the wanderers and slaves, they were more eager to become stronger. In the past, they had just followed the ancestors’ rules and tried to be strong. But now they had to get stronger in order to survive and also for the whole tribe.
The people of the Flaming Horns tribe were very ambitious, so the wanderers could not be the exception. They did not get on the carriage if they could walk. If they didn’t do so they would be despised. They may even be abandoned by this tribe. They finally had a hope of leading a new life. They could not give up at this time.
The route of the land in the plan avoided the places where a few big tribes were. At this time, the Flaming Horns tribe tired to avoid having a conflict with other big tribes. According to the Shaman, their first task was to return to the old land to start the fire seed.
Therefore, the tribe went past some sparsely populated areas and some desolate tribes. Several times they almost fought with others. But when their enemies saw the ferocious beasts of the Flaming Horns tribe pulling the carriages, they hesitated and in the end just watched the team passing in front of them.
The Shaman and the chief had ordered the members of the teams to act only on their orders.They couldn’t move arbitrarily. If they broke the rules, they would be chased out of the tribe.
They took a detour to avoid unnecessary conflicts and get food. To look for food, they had would go to the sparsely populated places where there were mountains and rivers. Taking the least amount of risk possible.
Climb the mountain? Will the carriages not overturn?
Who said that?!
We can’t pull the carriages, but we can carry them. It was possible for several warriors to carry a carriage filled with people.
The Flaming Horns tribe kept moving to the old land and were never stopped. No one knew how many beasts in the mountains had been eaten, the local people and beasts were scared no matter where they arrived.
The members of the teams mentality gradually changed. On the other side of the river, they had to be alert and low-key when outside of the tribe. But here it was the opposite.
When they met those who caused trouble and were sent here to get some information, they used the most direct and most violent way to deal with them to warn those who were thinking of causing trouble. Otherwise, they would be killed directly!
This way, they had killed numerous beasts and people.
Some traveling teams deliberately walked behind the Flaming Horns tribe so no beasts dared to attack them.
As long as the traveling teams did not cause trouble, the Shaman and the chief didn’t stop them. Moreover, they could be paid.
“I feel it is close.” Looking at the leaping flames in front of him, in the center of the carriage, the Shaman said with excitement.

So many years ago, what was the old land like?
The Shaman looked at the leaping flames and gradually became absent-minded.
Shao Xuan looked outside and saw the large grassland in the surrounding area. The warriors who had gone hunting came back, but they looked quite depressed. There were many trees, but few beasts. The food was not enough for them to eat. Even if they didn’t starve today, what about tomorrow? Maybe in the place they would arrive tomorrow, there would be fewer beasts and they couldn’t get enough food.
They had thought they easily became hungry when they just ate regular beasts. Therefore they didn’t like eating beasts. But now they almost couldn’t eat even the beasts!
“Chief, what should we do?” Ke Ke held up a hare in his hand and shook it. Then he looked depressed.
Dragging a snake as thick as a man’s arm, Tuo came back listlessly. But this snake was not enough for him.
Guu~~ [ED: Stomach rumbling]
They ate very little, so many warriors had begun to feel hungry.
Ao did not know what to do and did not immediately reply.
“Let’s go to exchange for some food. Where we are is not far from the Lu tribe, which breeds many beasts. I can take some people to exchange with them for some beasts. There won’t be much food that we can get before we arrive at the old land. The food is not enough for us.” Shao Xuan said.
The people living here mainly raised animals and grew crops. Furthermore, in this journey, there were less mountains, all of which were small, and so there were few large beasts. It was difficult for them to hunt enough beasts for food.
Regarding the Lu tribe, Ao had learned about it from Shao Xuan’s record. Ao liked this tribe. The people of this tribe lived on raising beasts and were known as the kind people in the central region. He believed they were good trading partners.
After thinking about it, Ao agreed with Shao Xuan’s idea.
The team didn’t need to stay here and wait, Shao Xuan estimated where they would arrive. He agreed with Ao to meet at a place. Then he brought some water moonstones and left for the Lu tribe with fifty warriors.
Shao Xuan hadn’t seen the people of the Lu tribe for two years since he left, but that man called Yan Jiu still remembered Shao Xuan.
Hearing Shao Xuan wanted to exchange for some beasts, Yan Jiu led Shao Xuan and his followers to the farm with enthusiasm.
Although Shao Xuan had told Ke Ke and the others about the farm of the Lu tribe, they were still really surprised when they saw it. Yan Jiu felt proud of his tribe when he noticed their reaction. He boasted about the various breeding beasts.
The warriors who ate a few small beasts for a couple days, couldn’t help but drool and fix their eyes on those fat birds as big as cranes.
Meat, meat!
“What do you need?” Yan Jiu asked Shao Xuan. He knew that although Shao Xuan was not the oldest, he was the leader among them.

“Shao Xuan, that one! We must take the fattest one!” Ke Ke hurriedly pointed at it to Shao Xuan.
“What else? We will take them out for you.” Yan Jiu said with a smile.
Shao Xuan ordered some beasts, the few people next to him could not help but choose several.
Shao Xuan calculated how many beasts they could exchange their water moon stones for while Ke Ke and the others chose some. Fortunately in the central region, the water moonstones value appreciated, so they could exchange them for more beasts.
After they finished choosing the beasts, Yan Jiu calculated the number of the breeding beasts in his mind twice and then said,“Two hundred and fifty, right?”
Shao Xuan: “...Yes.”
Taking out the water moon stones to Yan Jiu, Shao Xuan looked at five breeding birds which had been tied up and saw someone pushing a wooden cart towards him. He said, “We don’t need the cart.”
“You sure?” After confirming that they did not need the wooden cart, Yan Jiu took out a dozen bird eggs, “Since you do not need us to carry the beasts, I will give you some eggs.”
The eggs were placed in astraw net, and Shao Xuan had Chacha hold the net. Each warrior held five of the breeding beasts.
Seeing Shao Xuan and the others walking quickly with five big birds each, Yan Jiu was shocked.
While seeing off Shao Xuan and the others, Yan Jiu smiled and said, “If you need more breeding beasts, you can just get me a message. I’ll send them to you!”
“OK, we will soon return to our old land. When we settle down, you can visit us often.” Shao Xuan said, turned around, carried the breeding beasts and then left the Lu tribe with Ke Ke and the others.
“Where will you settle down?” Yan Jiu asked.
“The Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest!”
Yan Jiu stood still in the original place: “...”
Rubbing his stiff face, Yan Jiu could not help but clean his ear with his finger. He asked the man next to him in a daze, “Where did he say they will settle down?!”
Standing next to Yan Jiu, the man swallowed his saliva, and stuttered, “Maybe… near the Wan Shi tribe, the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest.”
Not mention the Wan Shi tribe, the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest is a dangerous place. They will settle there? Did he ask us to visit them often?
Who dares?
