Gan Qie temporarily settled down in the Flaming River Castle. Shao Xuan's underground secret room was his room, and Shao Xuan had another secret room prepared for him.
Perhaps it was because his body had changed, but Gan Qie no longer ate beast meat. Instead, he drank blood directly. Every day, the slaughterhouse would send him some blood collected from the beasts they killed.
Perhaps to some people, it was a pity that they couldn't eat delicious food, but to Gan Qie, it was simple as long as he could live.
Gan Qie didn't like the sun. He preferred the dark underground secret room. When he was lying down, he would lie in a coffin-like wooden box made of dry wood. He didn't need to sleep, and would only lie down when he was deep in thought.
When Gan Qie came out at night, he would listen to the Yanjiao guards talk about the mainland. This was agreed upon by Shao Xuan and Zheng Luo. Gan Qie's ability to express himself was limited. He was also an "antique", and he didn't even know what pottery was.
Perhaps it was because he had been buried underground for so long that he couldn't speak fluently. He even had a strange accent. Perhaps Gan Qie would be able to change if he listened to other people's words.
On the other hand, the Yanjiao people didn't completely trust Gan Qie. After all, they weren't from the same tribe. Gan Qie was too dangerous, especially at night when most people weren't in a good state of mind. It was better to have a person like this in front of them than not to see him at all.
At first, the guards were nervous when they saw Gan Qie. They had heard the screams that night, but they didn't expect it to be made by a human. Gradually, they got used to it. Gan Qie was actually quite easy to get along with. He didn't talk much, and even if he did, he would only say a few words. If the Yanjiao needed help, he would help the guards. He even helped catch a few people who wanted to sneak into the Flaming River Castle at night. His senses were stronger than the guards'.
As for the Rain tribe, Shao Xuan had already told Gan Qie about it.
As former enemies, Gan Qie didn't have a good impression of the Rain tribe. However, when he heard about the Rain tribe's current situation, he suddenly remembered the Han shaman's regretful look. Perhaps they shouldn't have fought so hard back then? Both sides had suffered great losses, resulting in the current situation.
However, with the players from Rock Hill City drawing aggro, Gan Qie placed most of his aggro on Desert City. Plus, Gan Qie's hatred towards the Rain tribe wasn't that strong. Since the Rain tribe had a good relationship with Yanjiao, and he was relying on Yanjiao, he wouldn't touch the Rain tribe for the time being.
On the other hand, what shocked Gan Qie the most was what Shao Xuan had mentioned about the situation on the mainland.
After the fusion of the fire seed, the tribe might disappear?
Could disbanded tribesmen form new groups?
Gan Qie couldn't believe it. This overturned everything he knew. As a tribesman whose thoughts were stuck in the past, Gan Qie was very curious about this. He didn't understand what it was like to leave their tribe and form a new group with outsiders. What kind of feelings did they have?
It was rare for something to distract Gan Qie. Shao Xuan thought for a moment and said, "If you're interested in the other side of the sea, you can ask someone."
"Ask who?" Gan Qie was puzzled. He really wanted to know more now. The world today was too new. There were all kinds of handmade products, from pottery to metal, and the changes in the tribe's fire seed. All of these changed his perception of the world.
He had already learned a lot from the Yanjiao people on duty at night. It turned out that there was another piece of land on the other side of the sea. The two pieces of land were close to each other because of the natural disaster, and there were people coming and going from both sides.
"There are people from the other side of the sea in the Flaming River Castle too. I'll take you there." Shao Xuan looked at the sun outside. It was morning now, and Yang Guang was fine today. Gan Qie didn't like to move around during the day, but the people there were asleep at night.
Gan Qie didn't like to walk under the sun anymore, but he could endure it if he wanted to know more.
Putting on a hooded cloak, Gan Qie followed Shao Xuan out of the Flaming River Castle.
Wearing a hood in the middle of the day and covering his entire body was indeed strange in the trading point. However, it wasn't like they hadn't seen stranger things before. The reason why they looked over there curiously was because the people in the trading point knew Shao Xuan. A person brought by Shao Xuan and dressed so mysteriously, so everyone was wondering who that person was.
Yi Si was busy with the things at hand. He had two accounts books in his hands, both of which belonged to the Yanjiao people. One was a tally of the things that travelers paid when they entered the Flaming River Trading Point in the past 30 days. The other was a tally of the rent. Some of the smaller tribes nearby had already set up shop here and would pay rent every 30 days.
Beside Yi Si, the half-beast slave, Grasshopper, was dozing off on a low stone bench.
Suddenly, Grasshopper woke up with a start. The thorns on his back stood up and he looked around nervously. Then, he looked in a certain direction.
Sensing Grasshopper's change, Yi Si stopped what he was doing and frowned. He was wondering what had happened.
Not long after, Yi Si saw Shao Xuan bring in a person wearing a sackcloth cloak.
"Are you busy?" Shao Xuan asked.
"Not really, it's just some small things." Yi Si looked at the cloaked person beside Shao Xuan. He was even more curious because Grasshopper was on full alert. If Yi Si wasn't here, Grasshopper would have run away. This was his reaction to danger.
"This is?" Yi Si asked.
Gan Qie pulled back his hood, revealing his expressionless face. His red eyes looked at Yi Si. "Gan Qie from the Han tribe."
Han tribe?
Yi Si had never heard of it before. After coming here, he had studied a lot about the tribes. He remembered all the small and remote tribes that were mentioned, but he had never heard of this Han tribe. Furthermore, this person was able to make Grasshopper react like this, so he was obviously very strong. His tribe shouldn't be too weak either. No one had even mentioned the Han tribe before.
"Gan Qie left the tribe for a long time. He wanted to know more about the other side of the sea, so I brought him here. You're more familiar with the situation there, "Shao Xuan said.
Although Zheng Luo and the others also came from the other side of the sea, they lived far away from the city and lived in the forest. There were many things that they didn't know. Asking Yi Si would be more comprehensive.
Yi Si didn't find this troublesome. He was also curious about this person called Gan Qie. This person gave him a strange feeling. He didn't even feel his breathing from the moment he entered the room! If Gan Qie stood there without moving, he would really look like a stone statue.
Yi Si was about to agree when he heard some movement from the window.
"Yi Si, I still can't accept this. Tell me about the Flaming River Castle …"
Wu He, who was climbing through the window, saw the situation in the room and his face turned pale. His whole body seemed to be embedded in the window. He froze there and didn't dare to go any closer.
"Sorry, wrong door." As he spoke, Wu He turned to jump out of the window. However, Shao Xuan grabbed him by the back of his shirt and dragged him back in like a chick.
As for the other Chang Le's behind Wu He, they immediately fled upon seeing Shao Xuan, ignoring Wu He. It wasn't that they didn't care about Wu He's life. They had to protect themselves first and then wait for an opportunity to save him. If it were any other Yanjiao who caught Wu He, they wouldn't be so scared. They might have rushed over to save him on the spot. However, it was Shao Xuan who dragged Wu He in. They still remembered that he was the one who slapped them down from the sky. They were instantly scared.
"I didn't steal anything this time!" Wu He quickly explained. He knew he couldn't escape from Shao Xuan's grip, so he stopped struggling and tried to sound sincere. "I really didn't steal anything!"
"I didn't ask you that. Why are you so guilty?" Shao Xuan dragged Wu He into the room.
"No … I'm not guilty! Definitely not! "Wu He said.
"Then what did you mean just now? Did you want to sneak into the Flaming River Castle at night?" Shao Xuan asked.
"No! Definitely not! Really! " Wu He denied. Although he did have this intention, he still couldn't hold back his curiosity. He discussed it with his companions and decided to ask Yi Si for his opinion. Who knew that he would be caught by Shao Xuan the moment he arrived? He wouldn't admit it even if he was beaten to death. Although Shao Xuan's tone was calm, he was still worried that Shao Xuan would turn hostile the next moment and kill him right here and now.
After hearing Wu He's words, Shao Xuan only chuckled, "Haha."
Wu He became even more nervous under Shao Xuan's stare. He didn't know what Shao Xuan was trying to do. Was he going to lock him up in the cave again?
"You guys seem to have a lot of free time recently," Shao Xuan said slowly.
"No, we're planning to leave today."
Wu He was about to promise that they would leave the Flaming River Trading Point as soon as possible when Shao Xuan said, "I'm afraid you guys won't be able to leave."
Wu He's heart skipped a beat. "What … what do you mean?"
Shao Xuan slapped Wu He's shoulder. "I have a mission for you."
After being slapped by Shao Xuan, Wu He's legs turned to jelly and he almost knelt down. He was really afraid that Shao Xuan would kill him. After hearing Shao Xuan's words, he became alert again. "What?"
Shao Xuan pointed at Gan Qie. "Answer his question."
Huh?
Wu He turned to look at Gan Qie, who was as invisible as a rock man. He was too focused on guarding against Shao Xuan just now and only noticed this person now.
Who was this bald guy?
He didn't look like someone easy to talk to. It was better to stay away from people like him.
Wu He immediately categorized Gan Qie as someone he should stay away from. The Chang Le's were very observant in this aspect. However, looking at Shao Xuan, if he didn't agree to this mission, he might not be able to leave this place alive.
"… Alright. Brother, what do you want to ask?" Gan Qie retreated to a spot three steps away from Gan Qie and Shao Xuan and asked carefully.
"It's about the other side of the sea. For example, the origins of some of the gangs. You can talk about the Chang Le's too," Shao Xuan said.
"Not the Chang Le's. Can you talk about other people?"
"Sure. Gan Qie will ask if you have any questions. "
"Are you going to let me go after that?"
"Sure."
"Ah, that's easy. Come, come, come, let me explain …" Wu He waved at Gan Qie. He didn't even need to prepare before he started to blabber on and on about some of his old enemies as examples.
However, Gan Qie didn't care. He just wanted to know how those gangs were formed and how those people felt.
"He's indeed more suitable to talk about this," Yi Si smiled but there was no mirth in his eyes. He turned to Shao Xuan and asked, "Did you bring him back from the desert?"
Yi Si had always wanted to know more about the desert. Unfortunately, he didn't have a way to get information.
Shao Xuan was also about to ask about Yi Xiang from the Yi family when a whistle sounded.
It wasn't a sharp warning whistle. It was a reminder. Someone was coming to the Yanjiao tribe.
"Let's talk about this next time. I'll go take a look," Shao Xuan turned to Gan Qie and said, "You stay here."
Gan Qie nodded.
After Shao Xuan left, Wu He couldn't stay any longer. He wanted to go out and see what was going on. Since Shao Xuan wasn't here, the biggest threat was gone. He was emboldened again.
Unfortunately, just as Wu He was about to leave, Gan Qie grabbed his arm.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch. Be gentle. Let's talk nicely. Don't hit me!" Wu He retracted his foot. He was about to scold Gan Qie when he saw Gan Qie's bloodshot eyes. Suddenly, he felt a gust of cold wind behind him.
On the other side, Shao Xuan arrived at the Flaming River Castle. Zheng Luo and Duo Kang were standing on top of the Flaming River Tower, looking into the distance with their binoculars.
"What happened?" Shao Xuan asked.
"I can't see clearly, but it looks like someone is coming," Zheng Luo said as he looked into the sky. A white figure was flying towards them at lightning speed.
It was Guigou's white falcon.
The bird was holding a piece of cloth in its claws. There were words on the cloth.
Shao Xuan opened it and said to Zheng Luo, "I'll go back to the headquarters first. Keep an eye on Gan Qie."
"Go on." Zheng Luo also saw the words on the cloth.
People from the Di Mountain tribe were here.
