The Yanjiao people were already feeling gloomy after leaving their homeland, which they had painstakingly rebuilt for four years. There were still unknown dangers and an uncertain future ahead of them. Everyone's emotions were very unstable.
The meaning of the old haunt was different from other places. This was the root of the Flaming Horn tribe. However, without the fire seed, the meaning of the old haunt seemed to have changed a little. No matter what, the old haunt was different.
Leaving this place, everyone's hearts were extremely complicated. Their footsteps were heavy.
This was different from the last large-scale migration. Last time, they had embarked on the migration road with endless hope and longing, endless motivation, and a constant feeling of returning to their roots. But this time, they seemed to have felt the feelings of their ancestors a thousand years ago.
Although they were only leaving temporarily, would they really be able to return in the future? When they returned, would this place still be the same as before?
The crops in the fields had all been harvested. The immature ones had been pulled out and brought away.
The animals in the animal pens, except for some cubs, had all been slaughtered in advance to make jerky. In addition, the tribe had rushed out many carriages. There were oxen, horses, and other livestock to pull the carriages. There were also a few ferocious beasts in the tribe. They had pulled carriages before, so they were very experienced.
This time, there were many carriages. There were materials in the forest, as well as metal tools. Some parts of the beast carriages that were not suitable for use with stone tools could be replaced with metal tools. That way, the beast carriages could be made more sturdy.
Therefore, compared to the last large-scale migration, there were many more people in the group this time. There were also many carriages. Among them, there were some beast carriages that were made to look like big boxes. No one was allowed to go near them. Except for a few people in the tribe, anyone who went near them would be severely punished.
Inside the carriages were the Veins of the Sky that had been dug up again. The largest carriage was used as a temporary flower pot, and the thousand-year-old Veins of the Sky had been transplanted there. If the weather was good, the guards would open the wooden boards above to let the plants bask in the sun. Fortunately, the Veins of the Sky were not as big as cabbages. Only the roots were a little damaged. After all, the longest part of the Veins of the Sky was its roots, which were like the pulse of a human.
In the middle of the group, there were dozens of large carts filled with food, and there were also many guards around them. The people in the team did not bring much food. Most of the food was transported together. However, Yanjiao did not care about the wanderers. If they wanted to leave with the team, they could follow the team. If they did not want to follow, they could go wherever they wanted.
Some of the tourists felt that Yanjiao was making a mountain out of a molehill and did not intend to leave. They even thought that after the Yanjiao left, they would go into the forest and live in the Yanjiao people's houses! They had been thinking about those solid stone houses for a long time. This time, the Yanjiao tribes were migrating, and no one could stop them. It was a good opportunity to occupy them. Maybe they could even live in the houses of the Yanjiao shamans and chiefs! He had to enjoy it!
Some wanderers still decided to follow Yanjiao because they had learned their lesson from the previous changes. There weren't many people who left for other places. They were aware of the fact that they could either stay or leave with the Flaming Horns. If they didn't choose either option and went to other places, it would definitely be more difficult. They might not even have a chance to survive.
The movement of more than 10,000 Yanjiao tribes was too obvious. It was impossible to avoid the eyes of others.
In just four years, Yanjiao had migrated again!
It was simply unbelievable!
All the tribes who knew about this thought that Yanjiao was crazy. Did they think that migrating tribes was a game? How long had it been since the last migration? Why didn't they stop? Were they joking about the fire seed?
Wait, where did they hide Yanjiao's fire seed? They did not seem to feel it!
However, because the frequency of the earthquakes had increased, and the battle for water had become more intense, many people only talked about it at the beginning. After that, they no longer paid attention to Yanjiao. Those who were fighting for water continued to do what they were supposed to do. Of course, there were also people who tried to figure out what Yanjiao's actions meant.
Shao Xuan had already sent people to inform the Lu tribe. The Hui tribe was too far away, so Guigou sent his snow falcon to inform them. After all, they were cooperating with the Lu tribe. They should be informed of the migration and be careful. The horses that pulled the carriages were domesticated by the Hui tribe. They were more reliable than those bought from other tribes. They were calmer in the face of danger.
There were a lot of blind robbers on the road, but they were all mercilessly chopped down. There were even robbing gangs that were formed by people from the same tribe. Because they couldn't compete with other tribes and couldn't seize the water source, they changed their way of survival — robbing!
When robbing in a gang, the more people there were, the better. With a plan and premeditation, the success rate was much higher. After tasting the benefits, they became more ambitious and gradually shifted their target to larger groups. This time, Yanjiao was targeted by them. It was because Yanjiao's carriages filled with food were too attractive. They could smell the smell even if they covered it with cloth. They did not want to give it up.
And when it came to robbers, the Yanjiao people never held back.
They killed whoever came.
This year's rainy season lasted for a long time. After the rainy season ended, the time for the two moons to coincide was approaching. Until that day finally arrived.
The two moons were full, illuminating the night as bright as day.
Ever since they came here, the Yanjiao people had not experienced the fear of the two moons for a long time. Once again, it shrouded their hearts.
Shao Xuan felt his eyelids twitch. A strong sense of uneasiness rose in his heart. Cold sweat inexplicably broke out, as if a basin of water had been poured over him. His bones felt like they were frozen. It was extremely cold.
"Shao Xuan, what's wrong?!" Zheng Luo asked. It was not that he was suspicious, but Shao Xuan did not look right.
"They're here!" Shao Xuan said these two words almost without thinking, as if it was an unconscious reaction.
Zheng Luo wanted to ask more, but the originally resting fearsome beasts suddenly stood up in fright. Then, the cows and horses pulling the carriages and other animals also became anxious.
Boom!
The earth rumbled without warning. The ground beneath their feet shook violently. Those who were asleep were jolted awake. Many people lost their balance and fell to the ground.
Crack crack crack —
The sound of the earth splitting open tore apart the peace in everyone's hearts.
People were trembling uncontrollably due to extreme fear. Even though they had been warned of what they might encounter, even though they had been mentally preparing themselves, even though they had experienced earthquakes many times, this moment was something that they had never encountered before.
Under the white night sky, between the cracks in the earth, a vast and terrifying aura rushed out. It was so powerful that no one could think of resisting.
That wasn't something that any beast could do. Not even the beast kings that people thought to be unstoppable could have such destructive power. This was the power of heaven and earth!
This time, it was not like the previous earthquakes that were just for fun.
Then, there was a violent rumble that almost made everyone lose their hearing. The people in the group stared blankly at the place they had walked before resting. There, a rock wall with no end in sight rose from the ground. It was as if a pair of hands had broken off the earth.
The ground shook violently, dispersing everyone's thoughts. At that moment, their minds were blank.
Any kind of power could only be truly experienced after experiencing it personally.
In the past, they could not understand why their powerful ancestors were forced to leave their homeland. Now, they felt it. And this was just the beginning.
The night was as bright as day. Everyone was anxious.
