During the traveling from their tribe, they had rushed for five days and only took short breaks halfway. They also found two caves that could be used as bases. Sure enough, there were fierce beasts in caves, so they surrounded and killed these beasts, then ate them as their dinner. Please support our original translation in wangmamaread.
Everyone had experienced bloody battles before. When deeper in the forest they marched, the old-familiar feeling of hunting came back again – stimulating, dangerous and blood boiling. They liked the old haunt very much and were very satisfied with this mountain and forest.
If other tribes knew the Flaming Horn people's attitude toward this mountain and forest, they would definitely consider all them madmen. Who liked to be neighbors with and abused by the beasts?
However, the Flaming Horn people who had come from the other side of the river were exposed to such an environment from their childhood, therefore, facing the environment, they were more likely to adapt to it.
Sometimes the two team leaders thought, was there a plain just like the green forest where grew dangerous but precious plants?
In just five days, everyone was like a slayer out of a sea of blood, with a great murderous look. As for the beasts they brought, they looked even more fierce. But their eye expression was a little soft when looking at the Flaming Horn people. Except for that, they looked the same as the wild beasts in the mountain at first sight.
“It’s there.”
Shao Xuan pointed to a place on the mountain and said.
Although they didn't walk there yet, Ta and Gui He looked at the direction Shao Xuan indicated. They could see clearly the place where was blocked by a large stone. Behind the stone, it must be the cave Shao Xuan referred, in which their ancestors had lived.
Taking a deep breath, all people tidied up their hide dressing, dust off grass clippings stuck on their hide clothing, and then they came to a clear spring to wash their faces and rub off the dried blood stain on their arms and legs.
In the face of their ancestors, they would take it seriously.
After careful tidy-up, the party went over there.
In the cave, the guardian power Shao Xuan encountered last time had gone, it looked as common as other caves.
Moving the stone blocking the entrance away, keeping the ferocious beasts guarding outside, Shao Xuan guided the two team leaders and others to enter into the cave.
The anti-insect herbs being scattered in the cave were still there, but the smell fainted.
Last time when Shao Xuan left, he had set the trap and scattered some anti-insect herbs. However, as the guardian power in the cave had gone, Shao Xuan worried that the remains of ancestors would rot, so he took off the bone ornaments from his neck and put it on the body of the person who was hunkering on the ground, whose dressing looked like the Shaman very much. Another six bodies of ancestors were also moved together by Shao Xuan. Since the bone ornament was able to protect the remains of ancestors in the King Stone Worm's cave, it should also be useful now.
After they entered the cave, Shao Xuan took a closer look. Just like what he had seen last time, the seven remains of ancestors didn't rot quickly, which eased Shao Xuan a lot.
Every time they saw the remains of ancestors, the people of the Flame Horn tribe were always excited. Especially when they heard what Shao Xuan had seen in the cave last time, Ta, Gui He, and others were very anxious to show their worship.
Carrying the firebrand, Ta followed Shao Xuan cautiously and approached the depth of the cave.
"It's history." Said Shao Xuan, pointing to those boxes. Please support our original translation in wangmamaread.
Either the ancestors or those boxes containing the history of the Flame Horn, they would take them back at all costs.
After seeing the ancestors and “history”, the two team leaders took some people out of the cave and went down to cut wood to make sedan chairs. In fact, what they made were not sedan chairs, but just three carriages and each would be carried by four people, others guarding around.
Shao Xuan and the team rested in the cave for two days. In these two days, they also finished the three sedan chairs for their ancestors. They carefully placed the remains of the seven ancestors into a sedan chair, and the boxes containing the “history” were placed in two other sedan chairs respectively.
The things left in the cave were limited, and many had lost their original appearance. If they found these things in the tribe, they would definitely throw them away as garbage. But these things in the cave were what their ancestors left which were of great significance. They took all important things away, and as for the rest, they left them in the cave.
“Since the route has been discovered, we'll come over again,” said Gui He.
The speed of going back was much slower. After all, it was necessary to take the ancestors and “history” and protect them from being destroyed by other beasts, which naturally took more time.
At this time, several ferocious beasts taken from the tribe behaved excellently. When the team encountered wild animals, the ferocious beasts would attract these animals away from the team and then killed them, instead of fighting around those sedan chairs.
Eight days later, the team returned to the tribe. When they were some distance from the tribe, they met people sent by the Shaman and the Chief to help them, which reduced burdens on everyone.
Everyone in the team had got injuries, so did the beasts, but they felt excited. People of the tribe were excited because they brought back the ancestor and “history”, which was considered a great honor. For the beasts, they were very happy to go out although they got many injuries and almost died several times. Please support our original translation in wangmamaread.
