Yang Sui? The shaman of the Rain tribe? Why did he come here at this time?
Shao Xuan was puzzled. He put down his work and went to the riverbank with Lang Ga.
"Did he come here alone?" Shao Xuan asked.
"No, there were a few others. I didn't see the exact number, but they seemed to be in a hurry," Lang Ga said.
In a hurry?
Was it for the tribe or for other reasons?
When Shao Xuan came to the riverbank, Yang Sui and the others had just been led ashore.
Because of the disaster, the mountain had been raised a lot. The part near the riverbank was very steep. The warriors of the tribe had been repairing that part for the past two days, so there were no intact roads or stairs for them to climb up. Yang Sui and the others were covered with mud and stone marks. They looked very embarrassed and tired.
It made sense. The distance from the Rain tribe to here was quite far. Just looking at this group of people, they were already exhausted. If it weren't for the Flaming Horn warriors who helped them up, perhaps half of them wouldn't have been able to climb up.
Seeing Shao Xuan, Yang Sui forced a smile and then sat down on the ground. It was rare for him to be in such a state.
"Let me take a break first." Yang Sui wanted to lie down on the ground. He was only a shaman. Compared to the other warriors of the Rain tribe, he was much weaker.
Shao Xuan asked someone to bring some food. Looking at these haggard and tired people, they must be hungry. They wouldn't be short of water. Man Jiu, bring some food.
"How did you find this place?" Shao Xuan asked.
"I was going to the Fearsome Beast Mountain Forest. I heard that Yanjiao was migrating again, so I asked around and followed you all the way here." Yang Sui turned his head to look at the busy Flaming Horn tribe. They didn't look dispirited at all. He thought the Flaming Horn tribe would be in a bad mood after being forced to move because of the disaster. He didn't expect it to be completely different from what he expected.
Yang Sui didn't explain the specific purpose of his visit. Shao Xuan didn't continue to ask. This wasn't a good place to chat. Yang Sui must have something else to say. The twenty people of the Rain tribe all looked confused and nervous. They were even more anxious than the Yanjiao team during the migration. They just didn't say anything.
Something must have happened.
Was the Rain tribe seriously affected by the disaster?
After a short rest, Shao Xuan asked someone to send a message to the shaman and chief, telling them that the Rain tribe had come. Then he took Yang Sui and the others to his house. The house had just been built, so it was a little crowded with more than twenty people. so Yang Sui asked the others to wait outside.
Because the place where the tribe received outsiders had not yet been built, they could only wait here. However, these people of the Rain tribe didn't care about this. They just waited outside the house quietly.
Old Ke cooked a pot of meat soup and shared it with them. Then he sat on a stone outside the house and chatted with these people who came from afar. Old Ke rarely saw people from other tribes. After all, he couldn't go out with the travel team because of his leg injury. In fact, he was very interested in many things about other tribes.
When there was no one else in the house, Yang Sui's face suddenly collapsed. He scratched his head and said, "I'm afraid we have to migrate this time too!"
"Why?" Shao Xuan was surprised. Originally, he thought Yang Sui came here because of the disaster or the fire seed. But now it seemed that there was something else.
"In fact, the disaster in the past didn't have much impact on our tribe. At least we didn't suffer as many casualties as other tribes," Yang Sui said.
The violent earthquake did cause houses to collapse and people were directly shaken from the ground. But in comparison, the Rain tribe didn't suffer much. When the earthquake was over, they could quickly resume their original life. As for the hot winter, the Rain tribe was short of water all year round. Now Yang Sui could pray for rain. Even if he only succeeded once in ten times, it was enough for the Rain tribe to survive the disaster. What's more, they still had rain stones. The only thing they lacked the most was food. However, they stored grains and other things all year round, which could support them through that difficult period.
"Then why did you migrate the tribe?" After a pause, Shao Xuan suddenly asked, "The desert?"
Yang Sui smiled bitterly, "Who else could it be?"
Yang Sui rubbed his face to make himself more energetic and continued, "I used to think that Rock Hill City would be more peaceful after driving away the other slave owners in the desert. But not long after the disaster, some slaves escaped from the desert and stole from our tribe. After we caught them, we interrogated them."
Speaking of this, Yang Sui's expression was very strange, as if he couldn't believe it, but also as if he was worried about something, "Those people were the slaves of the slave owners who were killed by Rock Hill City. They had been escaping in the desert, and some of them had gathered into small groups to survive. But after the disaster, most places in the desert were badly affected. Many people were directly buried in the sand because of the earthquake. This is not what I am most worried about."
Taking a deep breath, Yang Sui looked at Shao Xuan, "The two slaves we caught used to be close to the other side of the desert, close to the sea. However, he told me that the people who gathered on the other side of the sea were basically dead. They died under the waves and earthquake. Many places even disappeared directly. Not only that, when they left, they went to the coast to take a look. They said that there were many more places on the sea, and there seemed to be something on the sea."
As he spoke, Yang Sui looked at Shao Xuan. Seeing that Shao Xuan was silent, Yang Sui continued, "Part of the desert disappeared, and some strange things appeared on the sea. Since then, Rock Hill City changed their target. They no longer cared about the people in other parts of the desert, and only dealt with those who were still alive near the coast. It was as if they wanted to clean up the people there and occupy the coast. Therefore, those who were lucky enough to survive near the coast all fled out of the desert … I remember that there were many people from Yanjiao who came out of the desert. You actually didn't come from the desert, but from the other side of the sea, right? "
"That's right." Shao Xuan didn't deny it.
Yang Sui's eyelids twitched. He couldn't help but stand up and ask impatiently, "What's on the other side of the sea? Why did the people of Rock Hill City change like that? Do you know? " What happened on the sea wasn't the main reason why Yang Sui was so worried. He just felt great unease from Rock Hill City's actions.
"If the disaster really closed the distance between the two sides, then what the slaves saw might really be what I know." Shao Xuan didn't expect something like this to happen. It happened only a year after they left.
"On the other side of the sea, there are tribes and slave masters. Many slave masters! But you asked if Rock Hill City had anything to do with them. From what I know, the Shi family has a grudge with them. "
"I knew it!" Yang Sui scratched his head with his fingers. The Rain tribe was close to the desert, so they knew more about slave owners. For thousands of years, there were several large boxes of records about slave owners. There was once an ancestor of the Rain tribe a thousand years ago who mentioned that slave owners in the desert came from the other side of the sea.
He always knew that there were people at the end of the desert, on the other side of the sea. It was just that they were far away. In the past thousand years, he didn't hear of anyone coming from that side. Even when the desert changed and Rock Hill City became the ruler of the desert, they didn't think about that direction. It wasn't until Shao Xuan and the other Yanjiao people came out of the desert that Yang Sui was triggered. After that, Yang Sui flipped through many of his ancestors' records. The more he read, the more frightened he became. Then he thought about what Shao Xuan told him about the fire seed. Yang Sui couldn't stop worrying.
Now, the desert changed again. Rock Hill City's actions made Yang Sui even more worried. He always felt that it wasn't safe to continue staying there. He even dreamed that the fire seed was extinguished. After a year, he lost weight.
After the disaster, Yang Sui finally decided to bring some people to Shao Xuan to ask about the fire seed. At the same time, he also wanted to find out about the other side of the sea. He didn't just mention it casually. He really did have an idea. The slave masters in Rock Hill City were too dangerous. The Rain tribe couldn't fight against them. In the past, there were many slave masters and many forces in the desert. They could still fight among themselves. Now, the desert was Rock Hill City's territory. What if they wanted to expand in the future?
Now, he heard from Shao Xuan that Rock Hill City had a grudge against the people on the other side of the sea. If they fought, would Rock Hill City target the tribes near the desert when they lacked slaves? As long as the fire seed was extinguished, there would be more people for them to enslave. Then the Rain tribe would be in even more danger.
Yang Sui didn't care about the other tribes near the desert. He only cared about the future of the Rain tribe.
"So, what's your decision now?" Shao Xuan looked at Yang Sui's changing face and asked.
Yang Sui gritted his teeth, "Move! We must move! "
