Without waiting for Shao Xuan to ask anything, the two sides were already prepared to fight, with the leaders of both sides taking the lead.
Less than half a minute had passed since the two sides had met.
The first team that appeared emitted a fierce hostility. With the eruption of their totemic power, their momentum instantly rose like a frenzied beast.
The leader's totemic power was circulating at a high speed. Under the continuous eruption, his momentum burst forth again. His arm, which had already grown thicker, seemed to be inflated again. In the blink of an eye, it doubled in size! He did not grow any taller, but he looked like a powerful beast. His arms were so thick that even Yi Si's half-beast slaves might not be able to compare to them.
His fist, which was much larger than a normal person's, rumbled like thunder. The wind from his fist made the bone ornaments on the man's body crackle, as if a thunderstorm was about to descend after a muffled thunder. If this punch landed, even a mountain rock would be blown apart. If a normal person was hit by this punch, even if they did not die, they would lose half of their life.
The second team that appeared did not show a trace of surprise or fear in the face of such a ferocious battle formation. They seemed to have expected this, and their fighting spirit rose. Their bodies did not look as strong as their opponents. At this time, their opponents had changed because of their totemic power. One of them could fit two or three of them. However, they did not rely on their strong bodies, but on the sharp weapons in their hands.
Horns, bones, or stone tools were polished into curved knives. Some were even directly connected to handles of different lengths. There were still traces of blood on the edges of the blades that had not yet dried up. These were the traces left behind by the "trouble" they had dealt with on their way here.
The leader of the second team held a scimitar polished from a beast's tooth. He rushed out like lightning, his body suddenly bouncing up, with a kind of domineering momentum. The scimitar in his hand was like a fierce beast opening its fangs, rushing towards the leader of the other team. The strong wind that was stirred up carried a sense of ruthlessness.
When their leaders started fighting, the people in both teams also rushed out after them. The nearby flocks of birds flew away in fright, and the falling leaves were blown away by the wind.
The battle was about to start.
Shao Xuan looked at the scene in front of him. He didn't expect the two sides to start fighting so soon. Did they not know where they were?
Although this place wasn't within Yanjiao's territory, it wasn't too far away. If a fight really broke out, it would definitely cause quite a commotion. Yanjiao had just sent out the order, and the League of Legends hadn't been established yet. If the people who came over started fighting before they even entered the trading area, what would the people who were waiting to see a joke think? Perhaps he would gloat even more. Look, those tribesmen start fighting as soon as they see each other. Is this how the Great Alliance is? Could it be built?
What would the tribes that responded to the summons think when faced with such a situation?
He didn't have time to think too much. The totem power burst out from his body. Shao Xuan's figure flashed and disappeared.
Originally, in this area, at this time, the people with the strongest aura were naturally the leaders of both teams. But just as they were about to start fighting, an even stronger and fiercer aura suddenly rose. It was as if a hurricane had suddenly raised an even higher wave in the middle of the sea. It directly suppressed the strong aura from before!
This sudden aura was like a giant beast deep in the mountains. It forcibly broke the atmosphere created by the two of them. In the air, the turbulent air currents collided with each other, creating a series of explosions. Countless waves of air blasted outwards.
Bang!
The muffled sound of the collision was sharp and piercing to the ears.
The man with bone ornaments all over his body had a huge fist that could shatter mountains, but it was blocked by a palm. It was as if he had met a huge mountain. He couldn't move forward.
He looked at the palm that blocked his fist and saw an arm covered with totem patterns. The totem patterns seemed to have a life of their own as they flowed. Among the flame-like patterns, there were some crimson flames coming out of them. Streams of air that could be seen with the naked eye erupted from the pores of the arm. It was as if the blood in the arm, under the skin, was being boiled by the flames. The surrounding temperature was also raised.
The flames around the arm were like fire snakes moving at high speed, tearing apart the aura they had accumulated.
On the other side, the beast tooth knife that was supposed to strike was blocked by a metal weapon that flashed with cold light. The ear-piercing sound just now was the sound of the beast tooth knife scraping against the body of the knife.
Shao Xuan didn't care what the two of them were thinking. After blocking both sides, his body flashed. His feet didn't move from the spot. Then, without any rest, he shook his shoulders and used his strength to shake out his arms.
Chi —
Whether it was the man with the beast tooth knife or the man with the bone ornaments, they all felt as if they had been hit by a ferocious beast head-on. The strong force pushed them out. Their feet dug up the grass on the ground, creating a ditch that was more than ten meters long. If it weren't for the others holding on to them, the ditch would have been even longer.
The man with the bone ornaments pushed away the person who was holding him. He felt pain all over his body. The blood in his chest was boiling, as if he had just been hit with a sledgehammer. He could even smell the sweet smell of blood when he breathed. Especially the arm that had just been thrown out. Other than the pain, he couldn't feel anything else. He had temporarily lost all feeling. However, he couldn't care less about the injury on his arm. He looked at the person who had suddenly appeared in front of him in shock.
The man with the beast tooth knife who had been bounced away wasn't any better. His arms and legs were still numb. Especially after the shock, his whole body felt like it was going to fall apart. There was a scorching heat under his palm. The place that was pressed against the beast tooth knife was burning with pain.
No one knew better than him how much strength he had put into that strike. Even so, it was still easily blocked. The high temperature caused by the friction between the knife and the metal object in the man's hand told him that everything that had just happened wasn't an illusion.
His heart was in turmoil because of the sudden accident. He stared at Shao Xuan with his eyes wide open, but he couldn't say a word.
Who was this person?
Everyone who had seen what had just happened was shocked. They were frozen in their attacking positions. They had thought that it was just an insignificant person. They hadn't expected such a thing to happen. They knew very well how powerful their leader was. Even so, not only had his attack been blocked, but he had also been forcefully pushed away.
Looking at the ditch on the ground where the grass had been shoveled away, and then looking at the person who was standing there unharmed, everyone felt a chill run down their spine. They were terrified.
"Who … are you?" the man with the bone ornaments asked doubtfully.
"Yanjiao?" The Drumming chief didn't blink. The shock in his eyes was gone, and there was no anger. Instead, there was a trace of excitement.
Yanjiao?!
Hearing the Drumming chief's words, the others were shocked. They carefully looked at Shao Xuan. They had thought that he was just an insignificant passerby, so they didn't pay much attention to him. Now that they knew he was a Yanjiao man, they naturally had to take a closer look.
This was a Yanjiao man? Why was he so different from what they knew? Didn't they say that Yanjiao people looked like Fearsome Beasts?
That wasn't right. Perhaps Yanjiao people didn't look like Fearsome Beasts, but were more like Fearsome Beasts in other aspects. They could tell that just by looking at how he had blocked the two leaders.
Were Yanjiao people really that strong?
Shao Xuan withdrew his hand. Seeing that both sides had calmed down, he calmed the totemic power in his body. The totemic patterns dissipated, and the flames around his body disappeared.
"Yanjiao Shao Xuan. Who are you? "Shao Xuan looked at the two groups of people. They had totemic patterns on their bodies that represented their tribes. However, Shao Xuan had never seen these two totemic patterns before. In other words, it was very likely that these two tribes were here for the first time.
The Drumming chief quickly shook his hands behind his back to get rid of the numbness from before. His gloomy face revealed a surprised smile, "You're Shao Xuan? Yanjiao's Great Elder, Shao Xuan?! "
"Great Elder?!" The Thunder Mountain chief looked at Shao Xuan. He had regained some feeling in his arms, but the pain from before was still clear.
"You're Yanjiao's Great Elder?!" The Thunder Mountain chief asked again in disbelief. Even the other Thunder Mountain tribesmen behind him opened their mouths wide.
"That's right, I am." Shao Xuan nodded, then looked at the two leaders of the two groups.
The leader of the Drumming tribe reacted quickly. He sheathed his scimitar and walked towards Shao Xuan, "The Drumming tribe's chief, Ci Du, has answered the summons with the Drumming tribe!"
Ci Du's eyes shone with excitement. He treated different people differently. If the person he was facing was weak, he would never treat them so warmly. Plus, they were here for the Yanjiao tribe. He was relieved that he didn't do anything to offend this person.
As expected, a tribe that had the guts to send out a summons was very powerful. He had heard of this Grand Elder from the Ya tribesmen. The Ya tribesmen once told him that it was fine if he didn't remember the other Flaming Horns' names, but he had to remember Shao Xuan's name.
Ci Du looked at the stunned Thunder Mountain tribesmen and sneered in his heart. As expected, they were a bunch of brainless idiots! He remembered that when they arrived, the atmosphere between the Thunder Mountain tribesmen and Yanjiao's Great Elder wasn't very good. They answered the summons but didn't gather any information. They didn't even know who this person was, let alone answer the summons!
The leader of the Thunder Mountain tribesmen came back to his senses. He calmed himself down and said, "The Thunder Mountain tribe's chief, Lu Zhai, has answered the summons with the Thunder Mountain tribesmen."
"The Drumming tribe and the Thunder Mountain tribe?" Shao Xuan looked at the two groups. Both sides only brought about a hundred people.
Shao Xuan's gaze made the Thunder Mountain tribesmen's hearts skip a beat. They were afraid that this person would hold a grudge against them because of their bad attitude. They heard that many large tribes would start a fight without saying anything. However, Shao Xuan's next words made them heave a sigh of relief.
"The sun has already set, and the drums have already sounded once. When the drums sound for the third time, the sky will be dark. Then, you won't be able to cross the river or enter the trading point tonight." Shao Xuan pointed in a direction. "Head this way and you'll see a suspension bridge. You can cross the river from there."
As he spoke, a few muffled drum beats that sounded like the roars of wild beasts sounded again.
This was the second time.
Ci Du originally wanted to chat with this Yanjiao's Great Elder a little longer, but now he had no choice but to stop talking. Their journey was more important. They didn't want to spend the night here. They didn't know how many people were watching them.
This was their first time in Yanjiao's territory, so they weren't familiar with the roads. However, Shao Xuan had already pointed them in the right direction. They just had to walk in that direction.
"Thank you!"
After Ci Du thanked him, he didn't waste any more time and quickly led his men in that direction.
The Thunder Mountain tribesmen didn't want to be left behind. After thanking Shao Xuan, Ci Du led his men and chased after them.
On the way, Ci Du thought about many things. When they first heard Yanjiao's order to gather all the tribes, their first thought was, of course, dissatisfaction.
They agreed to unite all the tribes to fight against the invaders, but they had different opinions about who should be the leader. Before this, they only knew about Yanjiao from the Ya tribesmen and the nearby tribes. Their understanding of Yanjiao was too vague.
Since the Ya tribesmen always liked to exaggerate, they would always try to suppress what they heard. They always thought that the Ya tribesmen were exaggerating, but what happened just now proved that the Ya tribesmen were telling the truth. Even if not all of the Ya tribesmen's stories were accurate, most of them were true!
However, Yanjiao's Great Elder was really surprising.
When the drum beat sounded for the third time in the Flaming River Trading Point, the suspension bridge at the man-made river was retracted. The Thunder Mountain and Zhi tribesmen had already crossed the bridge.
"Chief, was that really Yanjiao's Great Elder?" someone asked from the Thunder Mountain tribesmen.
"Who else do you think it was?" Ci Du asked.
"It has to be! Not just anyone can block your punch. It has to be Yanjiao's Great Elder, it has to be! "
"No, I'm not talking about his strength. I can't deny that he's very strong, but an Elder … or a Great Elder? Yanjiao's Great Elder is actually a young man! He looks younger than me, "said a young man in the group. He was considered one of the more outstanding members of the younger generation in the tribe, but he still couldn't compare to the chief. However, that person just now easily blocked the chief's attack. Even if the chief didn't use his full strength, not just anyone could block that punch, let alone take it head-on. The chief was even sent flying.
"Let's not talk about Yanjiao's Great Elder. What do you think about the Yanjiao guards at the suspension bridge?" Ci Du asked.
"Even though those guards aren't as strong as Yanjiao's Great Elder, they don't look weak either. I heard they hunt fearsome beasts for a living."
Difference!
This was the first time they realized the difference between them and the Yanjiao tribe!
The Thunder Mountain tribesmen weren't the only ones who thought this way. The Zhi tribesmen felt the same way too, but Ci Du was a little more thoughtful. He reminded the people in the group what to say when they entered the trading point and what to keep to themselves.
Needless to say, Shao Xuan's appearance scared Ci Du out of his wits.
After the Flaming River Trading Point's drum sounded for the third time, the people in the trading point were ready to rest. The sun had completely set and night had arrived. They gathered in groups of three to five to discuss the tribes that had answered the call today. After that, they went back to their own places, thinking about how many tribes would come tomorrow.
There were already eighteen tribes!
No one expected so many tribes to answer the summons. Even if they didn't think highly of some of the tribes, they were still tribes. One tribe wasn't good enough, but many of them were still impressive.
At the trading point, at the entrance of the Beast Head Gate.
Under the guidance of the guards, the Drumming tribesmen who arrived first came to a two meter tall and ten meter long stone tablet.
There were some words and pictures on the tablet. These were the names and totems of the tribes that had answered the summons. There were also the signatures of the people who had written these words. All of them were the names of the chiefs of these tribes!
Ci Du had never heard of many of these tribes and had never seen their totems before. He didn't know there were so many tribes living by the Flaming River!
Perhaps he didn't remember the names, but he still remembered the totems. Tribesmen had a deeper memory of totems than tribe names, so they were sure they had never heard of or seen half of these tribes.
Taking the paint and pen from the guard, Xingdu drew the totem of the Drumming tribe at the position of the 19th square on the stone tablet, and wrote the word "Drumming" on it seriously. He felt that other than the time he took over as chief, this was the second time he had to draw and write so seriously. He was sweating profusely after he finished writing each word. After the totem and tribe names, Ci Du took a deep breath and wrote his own name, then pressed a palm print on the tablet.
Looking at the words and palm print, Ci Du felt that his arm was still numb from being blocked by the Yanjiao Grand Elder. He wasn't in a good state, so he wasn't satisfied with his drawing.
"Can I rewrite it?" Ci Du asked.
The Yanjiao warrior beside him was about to say something, but another voice interrupted.
"Of course not! Get out of my way! " Lu Zhai, the chief of the Thunder Mountain tribe, came over and pushed Ci Du to the side. He took another brush from the Yanjiao guard.
Ci Du took a deep breath. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't dare to do anything in Yanjiao territory, he would definitely fight with Lu Zhai for his actions!
However, after Lu Zhai finished writing, Ci Du's mood improved a lot.
Not to mention the fact that the Thunder Mountain tribe was ranked behind the Drumming tribe, even Lu Zhai's writing wasn't as good as his! Although Lu Zhai looked serious, his hands were trembling from nervousness. His writing wasn't up to standard. It was fine when he was writing his tribe's name, but when he was writing his own name, his hand trembled and the lines that should have been smooth became wavy.
Lu Zhai was speechless.
Ci Du tried his best to hold back his laughter. If it wasn't for the fact that this place wasn't suitable, he would have laughed loudly. Idiot, you can't even write properly. What are you going to use to compete with me? In this aspect, the Drumming tribe was still better!
Lu Zhai looked at the words on the tablet and his expression changed. He asked the Yanjiao guard with a stiff face, "Can I rewrite it?"
"No! Remember what you said just now! "
Ci Du took the brush from Lu Zhai's hand and handed it to the Yanjiao guard.
Woo woo — —
The horn of the Beast Head Gate sounded.
The people in the trading point were already preparing to rest, but they didn't expect to hear the horn again!
One by one, the travelers got up from their beds and opened their windows to look outside.
"It's the horn of the Beast Head Gate!"
"That's right! It's from that side! "
They had been hearing the horn every day recently, so they naturally recognized the horn of the Beast Head Gate.
"Nineteen! Nineteen tribe! "
"I don't know which tribe it is. Quick, quick! Let's go to the main street! "
Before they could make a move, another bugle horn was blown!
Wuuu —
"It's sounded again!"
"It's another two tribes in a row!"
"Twenty! Twenty tribes! "
"Hahahaha! I won my bet! I won! "The traveler who had bet twenty laughed loudly.
"You're celebrating too early. It's not over yet. There will definitely be more tribes coming tomorrow. If there are more than twenty tribes, you'll lose just like us!"
"I didn't expect so many tribes to come. I wonder if the tribes coming this time are weak."
"Quick, quick, quick! Let's go to the main street, or there won't be any seats left! "
After entering the trading point from the Beast Head Gate, Ci Du and his group saw a clean and spacious road that had been smoothed out. Beside the road, there were many stone pillars with a Water Moon Stone placed on top of each pillar. After the sun had set, the Water Moon Stone shone brightly, illuminating the entire street like a white rope that led from the Beast Head Gate all the way to the Flaming River Castle.
"Is this the legendary Flaming River Trading Point?!"
The people in the group were shocked by everything they saw, from the houses to the decorations.
However, they didn't have time to admire the tall houses on both sides of the main street. The crowd that had gathered to watch the show had already made them nervous.
People in the houses opened their windows and looked out. There was even a child leaning against the window, looking out curiously. Some people also gathered on the roof.
So many people!
The number of people on both sides of the street was already more than the total number of people in their tribe!
Ci Du gripped his beast tooth knife tightly. He really wanted to kill someone.
If they were outside, there would definitely be a fight to the death if so many people approached them. However, it was different now. The guards of the Flaming Horn tribe had already told them that large-scale fights were not allowed in the trading point. Also, as long as these tribes who were summoned walked on this street, the Flaming Horn tribe would not allow anyone to attack them!
They looked at the people on both sides of the street. Although they were all looking at them with different intentions, no matter if it was good or bad, no one stepped onto this flat road.
"Hey! Over there, which tribe are you from?! "
"Yeah, which tribe are you from?!"
The people who were watching the show asked.
Two short and fat figures squeezed out from the crowd. Their large faces squinted, and their beards that covered most of their faces twitched.
"It's the Drumming tribe! I can smell them! "one of them said.
"Eh? There's also the Thunder Mountain tribe! That earthy smell is definitely from the Thunder Mountain tribe! "the other person shouted.
"They're here too! Quick, tell the chief that the Drumming tribe and Thunder Mountain tribe are here! "
The two short and fat figures quickly disappeared from the crowd. One of them instinctively dug into the ground, but after a while, he realized that this was Yan Jiao's territory and he was not allowed to dig, so he got up and continued running.
"Drumming tribe? Thunder Mountain tribe? I've never heard of them, "someone said.
"I've never heard of them either, but these two tribes seem more difficult to deal with than the tribes that came today."
"They have a lot of blood on them."
"There are already twenty tribes. I wonder if there will be thirty in a few days. Sigh, I really want to persuade our chief to move to the Flaming River Basin. The Great Alliance! "
"I plan to go back and talk to our chief. If we want to move, why don't we move to the Flaming River Basin? The Flaming River Basin is still big anyway, we can still join the Great Alliance. "
"Yes, yes, yes, that's what I think too!"
Humans were social animals. Under the influence of the atmosphere, there was always a herd mentality. No matter what they thought or said when they first heard Yan Jiao's order, they were now starting to acknowledge Yan Jiao's Great Alliance. They even wanted to join it.
This situation made both the Yan Jiao people and the tribes that came to the trading point to choose to join the Great Alliance.
