Shao Xuan’s return changed the atmosphere in the tribe again .

 

Some people in the tribe had doubts, but now they had faith and looked forward to it .

 

In the morning .

 

Shao Xuan walked out, felt the sunshine from the sky, and stretched .

 

“The soup is ready, and the meat is beint roasted . Before you go up the mountain, drink the soup and eat the meat . ” Old Ke said in the house . He had prepared the food early in the morning and then started grinding the stone tools .

 

“Ok . ” Shao Xuan replied . Thanks to a night of rest, all his tiredness caused by the trip disappeared, and he was energetic now . He hadn't so slept well for a long time .

 

Yesterday he had promised the Shaman that today he would go up the mountain to discuss with them . Then Shao Xuan quickly took down the meat which was already roasted well and poured a bowl of soup .

 

After eating the meat and drinking the soup, he felt especially pleased as his stomach was full .

 

“Undoubtedly, ferocious beast meat is more delicious . ” Shao Xuan wiped his mouth, said goodbye to old Ke, and then went up the mountain .

 

In the past year, the Shaman had contributed to narrowing the gap between those living up the mountain and those at the foot of the mountain so they got much closer . The previous division had become blurred .

 

The Shaman said if they wanted to go back, they had to be one group . Outside the tribe, every one of them was a members of the Flaming Horns tribe, and there was no top of the mountain or the mountainfoot .

 

Perhaps, there were still many people who didn't understand and had the old mindset . Even the team leaders and many others couldn't change their thinking in a short time before leaving .

 

When going up the mountain, Shao Xuan was seen by many people who wanted to ask him question, but they knew that Shao Xuan was going to visit the Shaman . So they could only say hello to him and then watch him climb the mountain helplessly .

 

When he arrived there, no one stopped him, so he didn't need to take out the Shaman's plate . People in the mountain saw Shao Xuan and their eyes flashed . Even those old people who always put on airs now looked kind .

 

When Shao Xuan walked into the house, the Shaman was alone, for others had just left .

 



They didn't sleep for a whole night, so the Shaman was tired . But his eyes were full of excitement . He also read the roll written by the shaman of the Drumming tribe and also learned about the cooperation discussed between that tribe and Shao Xuan .

 

“Well done!” Said the Shaman .

 

If another man was spoken highly by the Shaman, he would be very excited . But now it was Shao Xuan who was admired and sitting in front of him .

 

Shao Xuan calmly sat down opposite the table and said, “So, your and the chief’s decision is?”

 

“Move!” He said in a loud firm voice .

 

His answer was what Shao Xuan expected .

 

Last night, at the top of the mountain, they had discussed about this for a whole night and made an initial decision . Then, they would do everything possible to prepare for the return to the old land .

 

They might prepare for a year or two, maybe longer . After all, they had been here for nearly one thousand years since the ancestors came here . One generation after another, this group of the Flaming Horns tribe settled here and produced offspring .

 

There was no doubt that they would return . Their ancestors and everyone who knew the “old land” had always been obsessed with it . Old He had told Shao Xuan that the root of their tribe was still there . They had to go back .

 

Undoubtedly they could also bring their “root” here in other ways, but no one in the tribe was willing to do that, because “old land” had left a deep impression on them when they had heard of it for the first time .

 

“You mean, all of the tribe will move there?” Shao Xuan asked .

 

“Everyone . ” The Shaman said firmly .

 

Wherever the fire seed is, the tribe should also be there .

 

If the tribe migrated, the fire seed would naturally be taken along .

 

As long as the fire seed was taken along, everyone in the tribe had to leave there . Without the fire seed, they couldn't live in peace there because the ferocious beasts in the surrounding area would come to them gradually .

 

The fire seed could deter the ferocious beasts, which could not be underestimated .

 

This was also true in the old land . Just the underground fire veins alone could make ferocious beasts rarely appear there .



 

“What about this place?” Shao Xuan asked . To be honest, Shao Xuan felt nostalgia for this place . Compared to the other side of the river, this place was really quite peaceful .

 

There were always disputes among people . Usually, more complex things happened besides robbery and murder . Would those who had lived here since childhood adapt to the life there? This really worried Shao Xuan .

 

“Here is our escape!”

 

The Shaman was standing near the window and looking in the distance .

 

“If we cannot survive in the old land, we will return here again . We can build up our strength and then go back when we are strong enough!”

 

The Shaman had made up his mind, probably because it was his duty to carry out what the ancestors had said .

 

“The exchanges with other tribes will promote the development of our civilization . This is good . ” However, the temperament of the people in the tribe was too straight and had to be refined .

 

The Shaman looked in the direction of the river and said, “We will go and we will naturally get used to it . ”


 

If we fail, we can just do as he just said . We can come back to build up our strength and make more preparations .

 

“Well, have you read the rolls I gave you yesterday?” Shao Xuan asked .

 

“Yes . ” Because he had read them, he thought about it a lot and strongly desired to go back . As a strong tribe in the central region, the Flaming Horns tribe should not be forgotten .

 

The Flaming Horns tribe should be known by more people, but Shao Xuan alone couldn't do so .

 

“Although I did not have much contact with the people of the big tribes in the central region . But I know that there are many powerful warriors in each tribe . ”

 

“Strength…”

 

“As far as I know, although there are only so many senior totem warriors in each tribe, but compared to our tribe, that is a huge amount . After all, there are still few people in our tribe . After we return to the old land, although there will be more wanderers that will join us . But before that, we have to be strong enough to make them be afraid of us . ” Shao Xuan said .

 

Hearing Shao Xuan’s words, the Shaman was silent for a while . He naturally understood Shao Xuan’s concerns, but it will take a long time to improve their strength .

 

“What do you mean?” Since Shao Xuan put it forward, the Shaman knew he must have an idea .

 

Shao Xuan smiled, took out a fiery-red crystal stone and showed it to the Shaman .

 

“This . ”

 

“The fire crystal? Too few . ” The Shaman frowned and said . They should be used by the best of the elites not by all, because it was difficult to find the fire crystals .

 

“Those living in the central region rarely eat ferocious meat, they usually eat the plants they grow and the animals they raise . They get very little energy from their food, so those from the big tribes in the central region improve their strength by exercising and relying on the fire crystals . Sometimes some disputes caused by fire crystals can destroy the entire tribe . ” Shao Xuan told him his experience . That was the massacre that he had seen when traveling with the Pu tribe to the central region .

 

“The fire crystals are naturally precious . ” The Shaman did not understand Shao Xuan’s meaning .

 

“If we can find more fire crystals, we had better use all of them . ” Shao Xuan said .

 

The Shaman's eyes were suddenly open wide and he then looked at Shao Xuan, “More fire crystals?!”

 

“Do you remember the place where we found the fire crystals, the bat cave?”

 

“Didn't you say that we cannot go there anymore?”

 

“I want to try again . ”

 

. . . . .

 

When Shao Xuan came out of the stone house, it was noon .

 

Glancing at the hot sun in the sky, Shao Xuan took a deep breath and sighed .

 

That was really a very short trip to the central region, so he failed to learn much about the big tribes in the central region . After all, everyone in those big tribes were alert to this stranger in the beginning . Shao Xuan could not get too close to them and he only talked some with the two people from the Mang tribe and the Eight Limbs tribe .

 

And that trip also let Shao Xuan know more clearly about the importance of belonging to a tribe in such a big place .

 

If his tribe was strong enough, he would have more protection .

 

Using the fire crystals was undoubtedly a very good way to improve themself in a short time . Last time, because of the group of vampire bats, he didn't dig deep inside . But Shao Xuan believed that there should be more fire crystals . It was probably a fire crystal mine!

 

Shao Xuan had also heard of the fire crystal mine when he was in the central region . A fire crystal mine may lead to disputes among two or more tribes .

 

And now, in the mountain, there may be a fire crystal mine . Before another tribe found it, Shao Xuan would seize the chance .

 

For this, Shao Xuan was willing to take a risk and go there!

 

Two days later, the Shaman and the chief put forward the “return plan”, which also indicated that the tribe's return trip was formally put on the agenda . Although the return date had not yet been determined, they made up their mind to focus on this plan in the following years .

 

From the day, when the Shaman and the chief announced the “return plan”, everone in the tribe began to prepare for it . What they had done last year was just a beginning, and from that day on, it was a real fight for the return .

 

First of all, they had to keep healthy and strong, especially those living at the foot of the mountains . They led a tough life . The tribe would provide more food for those thin children, for every child was the future of the tribe .

 

But the Shaman had also said that useless people were not welcome in the tribe . If they didn't take this opportunity to improve themselves, they would . . . hmmph!

 

The Shaman did not say how to deal with them specifically, but everyone was worried that they would be abandoned . If they were left behind by the tribe, how could they survive in this barren place ?

 

Ordinary people had their work, and the disabled also had their ways to prove their value . For example, old Ke crafted more stone tools every day . People living at the foot of the mountain only needed to exchange very few things for old Ke’s things .

 

When Shao Xuan was in the tribe, old Ke didn't worry that he didn't have enough food . Moreover, Caesar and Chacha often went out to look for prey . At the foot of the mountain, old Ke could be regarded as the “richest” person .

 

When Shao Xuan and the others came back, it was almost full moon .

 

The hunting team would go out after the full moon . Then the number of the members of the hunting team would be doubled .

 

The warriors went out for hunting and the others needed to collect timber, which would be used to build a ship .

 

There was plenty of high quality wood in the mountains for them to choose from . They didn't need to worry about it . The problem was how to build a bigger ship .

 

Yan Zhi and the others could make a small ship, but they were not confident that they could make a ship like the Longboat tribe . They needed to spend more time in trying to make a ship . Before they could build a ship, the tribe would not move there .

 

After all, this time, it was a migration which more than two thousand people would get involved in!
