The Yanjiao people had no idea that the slave masters were plotting against them. Even if they did, they would laugh at them. What a bunch of idiots!
If the fire seed was still concentrated in the fire pit, the slave masters might have had some hope. After all, it was the source of power for a tribe.
However, the Yanjiao fire seed had long been integrated into every Yanjiao person. Even though the Wanshi people and the slave masters could sense the change in the Yanjiao fire seed, they never thought that it was the fusion of the fire seed. Because such a thing had never happened here before!
Not every slave master knew some secrets. That was why the slave masters who escaped the desert and hid in the Wanshi tribe didn't know much about the fire seed. This led them to have a misconception. They kept this misconception, thinking that as long as the fire seed was gone, it would be time for the slave masters to rise again. Many of them even thought about going back to the desert and taking revenge on the people of Rock Hill City.
The slave masters were scheming. The Wanshi people were preparing for war. In the Fearsome Beast Forest, the Yanjiao people had already begun a large-scale adjustment.
Those who couldn't participate in the battle retreated to their original hiding spot. The terrain there was easy to defend and difficult to attack. If there were any changes, they could deal with it for a while. The wanderers had other places to settle down.
When Shao Xuan returned to the tribe from the edge of the forest, he saw a group of warriors chatting together. They had just finished their training and were standing there in high spirits.
"This time, we're going to drive the Wanshi tribe out of here. We won't leave any land outside the forest for them! We'll take it all and farm it! "
"That's right! They destroyed our fire pond before. Let's dig up their fire ponds as well! "
"Yes! Dig it up! "
These were the people who saw the mess when they returned to the old haunt. They were all excited when they talked about it. They wanted to kill all the Wanshi people.
Every tribe had a bottom line. Anyone who crossed that line would be provoked and declared war. This battle had been delayed for a long time. Now it was finally here.
Ferocious beasts were driven away by fighting, not persuasion. To the Flaming Horn tribesmen, the Wanshi tribesmen were ferocious beasts lurking around their nest, ready to bite them at any moment. They had to use their fists and blood-stained blades to kill the ferocious beasts. Even if they couldn't kill them, they had to chase them away.
How could he allow others to snore beside his bed? It was simply intolerable! Not everyone could coexist peacefully with Yanjiao like the Taihe tribe.
Lei and Tuo were also among them, and their well-defined faces showed fortitude and expectation.
Tuo was holding a stone knife in his hand, which was the knife he was used to. Although the tribe had also made a copper knife, they could not make it into the knife he was used to, and it was not easy to use. There was a big difference between a stone knife and a copper knife. The feeling was not right, and he could not find the right feeling. He was about to fight with Wan Shi. He did not want to give his opponent a chance because of a saber that was not easy to use.
Shao Xuan found that there were some wood chips on Tuo's knife. Apparently, he had gone to training not long ago to simulate people with wood and practice chopping.
"How are the preparations going?" Shao Xuan asked Tuo when he passed by with Duo Kang and the other two.
"Not bad." Tuo laughed. "I'm looking forward to revenge."
The contradiction between Tuo and Lei and the Wanshi tribe and the slave owners was deeper. When they went to the desert with Shao Xuan, they were caught in the Beast City and thrown into the Colosseum. If it weren't for Shao Xuan, they would have become two of the victims of the Colosseum. It would have been impossible for them to return to the old land alive.
The people who had betrayed Lei and Tuo were the new Wanshi Shaman and the people of Baishi City. They still remembered this hatred, and now the new hatred and old hatred were avenged together!
Lei's eyes flashed with anger and excitement. Finally, there was a chance for revenge. This day had finally come!
War was an important part of human social activities. Whether it was between tribes or slave owners, there were always some big and small frictions. These would cause friction and contradictions, and war was the most direct way to solve these frictions. The ultimate goal was survival.
Duo Kang and the others were no strangers to this. Snatching territory, resources, salt mines, and so on were all obtained through war. For the other half of the people, this was their first large-scale war in a thousand years.
Shao Xuan was thinking when he suddenly heard someone call him.
"Xuan, the Shaman wants you to go over." Mai ran over from not far away and said to Shao Xuan.
At this time, the Shaman wanted Shao Xuan to go over. There must be something important to discuss. Without delay, Shao Xuan and the other two parted ways and ran towards the Shaman.
The two Shamans' houses were not far from each other. After arriving, Shao Xuan saw Ao and Zheng Luo standing at the door of the Old Shaman's house.
Seeing Shao Xuan, Ao nodded towards the house, motioning for Shao Xuan to hurry in.
Walking quickly, Shao Xuan found that the Old Shaman was there too.
The two Shamans each sat on a thick animal skin, looking like they were waiting for Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan walked over and sat on a large animal skin on the ground in front of them. "Do the two Shamans have something to tell me?"
The Old Shaman looked up at Shao Xuan. "Do you know what to do in the battle with Wanshi?"
Shao Xuan nodded. "Yes. When the time comes, I will take the lead with the three team leaders. "
The battle plan had been laid out, but Wanshi's people were already prepared. The effect of a sneak attack was not necessarily good. They still had to attack by force. Once the battle started, the warriors with high status in the tribe would naturally be at the front.
This time, the two Shamans would not lead the charge. They would be in charge of commanding from the back. Duo Kang and the other two team leaders would be at the front. The Shamans would also use this opportunity to evaluate their performance.
As the Grand Elder of the tribe, Shao Xuan could not fall behind. If he went with Duo Kang and the other two, who in the tribe would trust him in the future? Just because of the blessings of the ancestors and previous contributions? No matter how great the contributions were, their influence would still decline after a long time.
Shao Xuan was already mentally prepared. This was not the first battle, but this was the largest one. It would be a lie to say that he was not stressed.
Although he knew that it was very dangerous to be at the front, this was a place where strength was respected. He had to act when he had to. Plus, this was the first large-scale battle between the Yanjiao tribes. Those with high status in the tribe naturally had to be the vanguard, boost morale, and lead the troops.
The higher the status, the greater the responsibility.
Hearing Shao Xuan's words, the two shamans nodded. It was rare that they did not object. In the past, if they heard that Shao Xuan was going to a dangerous place, they would definitely be the first to object. But now, the tribe was complete. In order to return to glory, they would have to go through more in the future. If Shao Xuan wanted to stabilize his position in the tribe, he had to show new results. Only then would the people in the tribe be more convinced.
"In this battle with Wanshi, your mission is different from Guigou and the others." The shaman said, "Their targets are the Wanshi people, the leaders of Wanshi. Your target is the fire seed of Wanshi!"
Shao Xuan's eyes widened. "Wanshi's fire seed?"
"That's right! If possible, destroy their fire seed. Don't give them a chance to transport it away. Tuo and the others will help you. Of course, the Wanshi people will definitely guard the fire pit. If you can't find a chance, just wait until the battle is over. But if there is a chance … "
"I know," Shao Xuan nodded, then asked, "If there is a chance, what should I do to destroy the fire seed?"
"Well …" The old shaman stroked his beard. "According to our ancestors, you should use the power of inheritance. It will guide you."
The two shamans had no experience in destroying a fire seed. They had only heard that the shaman's power of inheritance was needed to completely extinguish the enemy's fire seed. Many tribes would clean up the battlefield after the battle before sending the shamans to destroy the fire seed.
But they had only heard about it. After all, they had never seen it with their own eyes. They could only tell him what they knew.
"Don't force yourself. Your life is the most important. At worst, when the battle is over and we've cleaned up most of the Wanshi people, we'll go personally, "said the shaman.
"Yes, I know. Don't worry." Shao Xuan said solemnly.
The two shamans' hearts thumped at the same time. They felt more and more uneasy. At this time, they suddenly regretted telling Shao Xuan these things. Before Shao Xuan left, they repeatedly told him, "Don't force yourself. Do what you can."
The people in the tribe had almost been transferred. When Shao Xuan returned from the shaman's place, Caesar was carrying a big bag. He was helping Old Ke and the people around to transport things. The most obvious thing was Old Ke's big box with various stone tools.
Old Ke had polished many weapons and distributed them to the people who were also transferred to avoid the battle. Although they were old and weak, they were not without a little bit of fighting power. If they encountered sneak attacks, they could still fight with weapons.
"Don't worry about us. Be careful." Old Ke patted Shao Xuan's shoulder hard. He knew that Shao Xuan was the vanguard like the three team leaders. This was different from hunting. The people who rushed in front had to bear much more pressure and danger. Old Ke couldn't help but worry. If it was someone else, Old Ke would definitely think that as a person with such a high status in the tribe, he was not old or a shaman. He was strong and young. How could he feel embarrassed to hide in the back? But when it was Shao Xuan, Old Ke had a different idea.
It was a natural double standard. It was human nature.
"The Shamaness also asked someone to make some close-fitting clothes for us with the rest of the white worm skins." Shao Xuan showed the white worm skins he was wearing inside to Old Ke, "These are good for protection."
Old Ke just sighed and didn't say anything.
There was no such thing as absolute protection in the world. Even if the worm skins were hard to cut, it was just hard to cut. It wasn't impossible to cut. Otherwise, how could the worm skin clothes be made? Besides, how could they be fine after being hit by an axe?
Two days later.
Most of the non-combatants in the tribe had been transferred. The two shamans were also transferred.
Dawn came, but the sky was still dark.
Shao Xuan sat by the fire pit and looked at the people who gathered.
"Let's go."
Shao Xuan got up and patted Caesar beside him. He led him to the team.
