In just a few seconds, the entire Flaming River Trading Point was engulfed in flames. The buildings in the trading point were blurred by the flames.
All the foreign tribesmen who remained in the Flaming River Trading Point felt the same fear. The sudden pressure made them tremble in fear. Unfortunately, their leaders were still inside the Flaming River Castle, so they couldn't find their leader. They didn't know what to do, so they could only squeeze together with their companions, like little chicks huddling together in the wind for warmth. They gritted their teeth and endured the pressure.
They were worried that something had happened in the Flaming River Castle. They were worried about the safety of their leaders, but they didn't hear any whistles!
Without any whistles, they didn't dare to act recklessly. This was something their leaders had emphasized many times before they came. They couldn't act recklessly. Now that something unexpected had happened, if the other tribesmen had whistled for help, they would have rushed over because their own leaders might have gotten into an accident and couldn't blow the whistle.
But now, none of the big tribes that had come over had blown the whistle yet!
Outside the Flaming River Trading Point, the people who had been staring at the trading point were also shocked to see the trading point bathed in flames. If they hadn't sensed that it wasn't an ordinary flame, but a flame similar to a fire seed that wouldn't burn people or things, they would have rushed over.
"What's going on over there?!" Someone was going crazy.
Even if the flames weren't normal and wouldn't burn people or things, the rejection of the foreign fire seeds still made them very uncomfortable. It wasn't there before, so why did it suddenly appear now?
"What should we do? Should we go over and take a look? "
"Wait! Keep waiting! "Another person squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
Without any whistles, it was impossible for all the leaders to die. Even if they didn't believe in anything else, they still had confidence in their own leaders. How could their leaders be so useless?!
Wait!
They could only wait!
Wait for the whistle to sound or wait for the other side to calm down!
After about half an hour, the flames in the trading point gradually dimmed and disappeared.
Inside the Flaming River Castle, the giant flame giant also slowly faded until it disappeared.
The aura of the Yanjiao fire seed that filled the area also disappeared. This made all the foreign tribesmen in the trading point finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Was it finally … over?
They weren't sure. They were scared stiff. Who knew if there was anything else after that?
Hence, after the flames in the Flaming River Trading Point disappeared, a portion of the people standing on the road were Flaming Horn tribesmen. They were refreshed and full of energy. Their eyes were still filled with excitement, as if they were believers who had just bathed in the holy light. This was the complete opposite of the other tribesmen who looked tense and nervous.
The Drumming tribesmen who were hiding in their houses also opened their windows a little to see what was happening outside. They were timid and cautious, so they would only come out after making sure there were no more threats.
The people who were left outside the Flaming River Castle all hurried towards the Beast Fang Gate. They wanted to make sure that their chief was safe.
When they saw the people coming out, they let out a long sigh of relief. Although the expressions of the leaders were not very good, they did not see any injuries. That was enough.
The people who found their backbone did not worry anymore. They just waited for their chief's orders.
The Yanjiao people were inside wrapping up the ceremony, but the few tribesmen who were watching were not in the mood to stay any longer. They came out with pale faces and called for the people waiting outside the Beast Fang Gate to return to the courtyards that Yanjiao had arranged for them.
The Mang tribesmen returned to their courtyards. After their subordinates reported, Chief Fu Gui waved his hand and asked everyone to leave, leaving only Huang Ye behind.
"Did you feel it before?" Fu Gui asked.
Huang Ye was stunned. He didn't understand what his chief was talking about.
"According to the people who came to report, no matter if it was the Yanjiao tribesmen in the trading point or the Yanjiao tribesmen outside, they all had the same changes," Fu Gui said.
"You mean …" Huang Ye made a fiery gesture with his hand.
Fu Gui nodded. "It's not just them. I heard from the people who were watching over Yanjiao that the people there also had the same changes."
Huang Ye's eyes widened. "It's so far away, and there's even a river between us. How is that possible?!"
"That's what I'm concerned about too." Fu Gui looked thoughtful. He was indeed getting more and more interested in the other form of the fire seed.
"No matter what, we have to change our original plan. I plan to stay here for a while," Fu Gui said.
Initially, they just wanted to take a look at the Flaming River Trading Point and see what the Flaming Horn tribe was really like. They wanted to know if they could really hold a grand banquet like this. In their plan, they didn't plan to stay here for too long. After all, they weren't familiar with the Flaming River region and there weren't many expedition teams here. This had always been a remote and poor place on the mainland. They didn't want to stay here for too long.
But now, Fu Gui changed his mind. He didn't care about the food at the start of the Flaming River Grand Banquet. Now, he only cared about two things: first, the green weapons in the Yanjiao tribesmen's hands. Second, and most importantly, the thing he cared about the most — the other form of the fire seed!
Fu Gui had a feeling that if he didn't figure this out, he would definitely regret it.
"Maybe our tribe will make the same choice as Yanjiao." Fu Gui sighed.
Huang Ye understood what Fu Gui meant by "the same choice". He couldn't help but worry. "But the fire seed concerns the entire tribe. We should think more about it."
"Of course. But I have a feeling that we'll still choose the same path as Yanjiao." Fu Gui was disappointed. Seeing that Huang Ye still didn't agree, he said, "Why do you think Yanjiao revealed this secret?"
They kept it in for so long and didn't even say anything in the Fearsome Beast Forest. Why did they half-reveal it now?
"Yanjiao wants to show off? Or, they want to use this matter to squeeze more things out of our hands? "Huang Ye answered tentatively.
Fu Gui smiled helplessly. "Neither."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed in a direction. That was the direction of the desert.
"Rock Hill City?" Huang Ye asked.
"More than that!"
The expression on Fu Gui's face was very strange. It was something that Huang Ye had never seen before. It seemed like he was looking forward to it, but also a little uneasy. But more than that, he was looking forward to it.
"On the other side of the sea!"
Different from some tribes where strength was the most important thing, where the strongest was the leader, every generation of leaders of the Mang tribe was carefully selected. Their strength may not be the strongest in the tribe, and they may not even be in the top three. However, they must be smart and farsighted.
No one knew when the Mang tribe began to implement such a selection method.
If Shao Xuan knew this, he would definitely sigh. No wonder they were one of the strongest tribes in the central region. Not every tribe could have such awareness. No wonder the Mang tribe had been able to develop steadily.
Although the leaders of the Mang tribe might not be able to do everything perfectly, and their thinking was still very limited, sometimes it had to be said that their leaders, whether it was the Mang tribe's chief or the shaman, had a very sharp "sense".
Before Huang Ye could understand what the words "on the other side of the sea" meant, Fu Gui said again, "After this, the tribes around the Flaming River will definitely lean towards Yanjiao. Not to mention other tribes, just the tribes that came this time will definitely lean towards Yanjiao."
Huang Ye agreed with Fu Gui's words.
Perhaps other people would find it unbelievable that the Flaming Horn tribe was able to lure so many people over with just one meal. However, as someone who had held banquets before, they knew very well that the poorer the tribe, the easier it was for them to be lured over with just one meal. This was the reason why many powerful tribes would choose to hold a banquet instead of a direct battle. How easy was it to achieve their goal with just one meal? However, those small tribes weren't stupid. They could tell if they were truly powerful or not.
Yanjiao's banquet made them feel very satisfied, especially after today's "fire". Although they were afraid at the time, their desire to lean towards Yanjiao only grew stronger. The stronger Yanjiao was, the more they would feel at ease.
Many tribesmen didn't think too much. They only recognized what they had seen and experienced. It was impossible to persuade them to break away from Yanjiao in a short period of time. This was the strange thing about many tribesmen. Sometimes, they could be so "stupid" that it made people feel helpless.
"If Yanjiao can gather all the tribes in this area, they will be a powerful force." Huang Ye understood this point.
"You and I both know Yanjiao's strength. They might not be weaker than us. If they gather all these tribes, they won't have to fear any other tribes. But! They still chose to reveal the secret of the fire seed! Because they are afraid! " Fu Gui looked at Huang Ye. "Where do you think those Yanjiao people who came out of the desert came from?"
"Of course they came from the desert …" Huang Ye's voice suddenly stopped, and his eyes were full of shock. "You mean, on the other side of the sea?"
Fu Gui didn't speak, but his expression gave Huang Ye an affirmative answer.
Fu Gui's guess was right.
The Yanjiao tribes decided to reveal this secret after many discussions. They had thought of hiding it from everyone and only telling the tribes they were on good terms with, or using this secret to squeeze more benefits from other tribes. However, in the end, they chose this method.
The two continents were already very close. It was only a matter of time before the trade and conflicts broke out. At that time, it would be very difficult for Yanjiao alone. Now there were still too few Yanjiao tribes, and they couldn't even compare with an ordinary city on the other side.
On the other side of the sea, the noble families of the six tribes were united. The nobles of each city had some tribes under their control. The tribes on the other side were different from the tribes on this side. They wouldn't abandon the nobles and support the people on this side.
As for the tribes on this side, according to Shao Xuan's understanding of them, although they had many conflicts in the past, when it came to the slave masters, they would definitely stand on the same side. Even the Longboat tribe and Tianshan tribe who didn't like Yanjiao would still choose Yanjiao if they had to choose between Yanjiao and the slave masters.
That night, the people of the few major tribes who stayed in the Flaming River Trading Point couldn't sleep well. They all had their own guesses, and they were very close to the truth.
The matter of the fire seed made them feel irritated.
The original fire seed was gone, but the fire seed was still there. It was just that it existed in a situation where blood and fire came from the same source. Yanjiao had already proven this to them.
Innovation was always accompanied by fear. Choosing this meant giving up something they were already used to. This was a huge challenge for the tribesmen.
They were worried and hesitant. They weren't sure if this kind of innovation was good or bad for their tribe. It might be suitable for other tribes, but it might not be suitable for them.
The original fire seed protected the entire tribe, but it also trapped them. There were many restrictions on what they could do. However, if one day the fire seed wasn't limited to one place, if the tribesmen didn't have to gather in one place all year round, what would the future be like with this freedom?
Yanjiao chose this path of innovation. The Drumming tribe and Rain tribe followed in Yanjiao's footsteps. Then, who would be the next to make the same choice?
