Chapter 226: Ready
Chapter 225 - Destroy everything
Translated by Lesyt Team

The chief and the Shaman had ordered them to dig a big lake, so everyone tried their best. When those hunting warriors went out, some stayed in the tribe to dig, and even some disabled people helped. In the tribe many women without awakened totem power also gave a hand.
After the first hunt, when Shao Xuan returned to the tribe, they had made a hole covering an area of more than four hundred square meters. They continued digging.
At the foot of mountain, some children from the cave were helping cooking fish soup.
A twenty-meter-long wooden ship was placed there, and Yan Zhi and the others were busy filling its gap.
This was only the first ship they tested, and there were another two bigger ships next to it, which had not yet been built.
Shao Xuan picked up the tools to help them.
“How is everything going on?” Shao Xuan asked.
“Before the rainy season, we can finish building three ships. Then we can test them first.” If they succeeded, they would try to make a bigger one.
As the Shaman said, the ships they built concerned everyone in the tribe. If the ships were not good enough, they would break and the water would fill them if they were hit by the fish on the journey. If so, they could do nothing but cry.
“How about the hunt?” Jiao Wu could not help but ask.
“Not bad.” Shao Xuan followed the advance team to the green land this time. This time in the green land they found some kind of curling plant, they also hunted a lot on the way. These satisfied them.
“We have to go hunting next time.” Jiao Wu said.
“Yes, but the time after next.” Shao Xuan said.
Yan Zhi and the others, like most of the new warriors, did not follow the hunting team for the first two hunts. They would do that at the third hunt. Yan Zhi and the others were different from other new warriors, so they would certainly be protected at that time.
“When we leave, you should pay more attention to what happens here.” Yan Zhi told Shao Xuan.
“Don’t worry.”
Yan Zhi and the others went hunting at a different time from Shao Xuan’s. They did so to ensure that one of them would supervise the shipbuilding for they did not trust others.
The men of the Flaming Horns tribe dug a hole as big as a lake. The hole was large enough to accommodate all the ships of the Longboat tribe’s fleet, but the warriors were not satisfied it. If there were not the mountains in the surrounding area, they would dig a bigger one.
When the rainy season came, the hole would begin to store water. After the end of the rainy season, when there were no wood-eating insects in the river, they could divert the water from the river into the hole.

From the lake to the river, they dug a nearly ten-meter-wide waterway, so the ship could move from the lake to the river.
With the advice and guidance of Shao Xuan, they built a floodgate near the mouth of the river, which would be closed except for the end of the rainy season.
“We have the lake and the waterway, and we just wait for the arrival of the rainy season.” When it rained, they could divert the water from the river into the lake.
“Unfortunately, this year, we cannot go back.” Lang Ga looked at the lake and waterway and said, “If there weren’t insects in the river, we would not spend so much time in digging a hole and instead we could just test the ships in the river.”
“Ok, we just have to wait and return there next year, probably.”
When the people in the Flaming Horns tribe were busy, on the other side of the river, the chief ofthe Wan Shi tribe was walking with a large number of people in the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest to their old haunt.
This time, the number of people he brought was nearly one third of that of his tribe. Because of the ferocious beasts and dangerous plants in the forest, a lot of warriors died or got injured. However, they eventually found the old haunt of the Flaming Horns tribe.
Using a knife to scratch away the moss and vines on the stone, Fu Ji,the Wan Shi tribe chief, with blood on his body, looked at the engraved stones in the woods, and gently read, “The Flaming Horns tribe?”
Then he laughed with disdain, and said with contempt to the shaman who came towards him, “Is this what you are concerned of? This tribe has been extinct.”
The Wan Shi shaman was silent.
Fu Ji smiled but his face suddenly became frightening. He punched the big stone which was engraved with the words.
Bang!
On the hard stone, there was a hole as big as a fist. The stone which had firmly stood on the ground was knocked down by his great strength and rolled far away from them.
Ignoring the stone rolling away, Fu Ji continued to lead his men forward.
It was not long before they arrived at the ruins.
The people of the Wan Shi tribe had known that a tribe had existed here, but that tribe had disappeared, and only ruins had remained. Later, the successive chiefs did not pay any attention to the ruins in the forest. As the forest expanded, the ruins and surrounding areas became more and more dangerous for them. That was why they seldom went there.
The ruins had seen a historical event causing a huge change. The members of that tribe had lived here. As the tribe waned, none of its member stayed here, so this tribe was considered to be extinct.
Although the surrounding area was full of vitality in the current season, each person standing in front of the ruins felt it was desolated. It was like an old man who stripped and exposed his scarred body.
Glory or obscurity, everything had happened several thousands years ago, they were no longer important. Except for the people of the Flaming Horns tribe of course.

For example, the Wan Shi tribesmen standing here just thought about whether some precious items were left here, though when they had seen the ruins in the beginning they had some inexplicable emotions.
The Wan Shi tribe chief, Fu Ji, looked at the six obvious traces on the ground, and squinted to indicate that there was danger.
“Are these traces of a ritual ceremony?” Fu Ji pointed to the six lines that seemed like they were caused by fire and asked the shaman. Although he did not understand this way of worship, he guessed that they were the traces left after a ritual performed by another tribe. Each tribe had its own style of worship.
“Maybe.” The shaman said.
“Maybe?”
The shaman paused, and said, “I have never felt the presence of a fire seed here.”
“Of course there is no fire seed! This tribe has been extinct!” Fu Ji yelled.
But if there was no fire seed, then why had the fire seed been suppressed?
The emergence of fire seed suppression showed that there had been another tribe stronger than theirs here.
If the people of the extinct tribe had not done this, probably the people of another tribe in the central region had had such a scheme.
The Wan Shi tribe had repeatedly made trouble for the Lu tribe and was warned several times by the several major tribes in the central region.
Did they deliberately hold an activity similar to a ritual ceremony to frighten the Wan Shi tribe? Maybe, the previous trouble was caused by those guys in the central region! Fu Ji thought that, after all, except them no one was in dispute with them and could cause the fire seed suppression.
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Fu Ji ignored the shaman next to him, who was hesitating to say something, and he called the others.
“Destroy everything here! Everything! Especially what is in this place!” Fu Ji pointed to the six traces in the center, “Remove them! I don’t want to see them again!”
Although he felt that it was done by the old guys in the central region, he did not feel this was a good place. He thought it seemed that the several tall pillars were laughing at his tribe. The Wan Shi tribe was one of the strongest tribes in the central region, but it was still weaker than theother big tribes because of the fire seed suppression.
“This, destroy it!”
He could not defeat the old guys in the central region, but he could still destroy these stones. Anyway, these things were useless, for the tribe had been extinct. They didn’t want to keep these stones and they were even their eyesores.
In the forest, a loud sound was heard. The tall pillar where Shao Xuan had stood finally fell down.
Fu Ji saw the pillar fall down, but he was still unsatisfied. He ordered his men to cut it into columns and chiseled a lot of holes in each column. This way, the painting on the stone pillar was destroyed and looked even more unreadable. No one could see a complete pattern.

The ruins there looked in an even worse condition. Some of the stone houses which had almost collapsed finally fell down. The big slates were crushed into small pieces, and the small pieces were thrown in to the distance in all directions.
The better stones were dug out and taken away.
In the original fire pit, they dug many holes, large or small. It was completely different from what Shao Xuan had seen the first time.
The trees were cut down, and the grass was pulled out. The whole place changed and looked totally different.
Looking at the whole picture, Fu Ji felt content and then laughed. He set the forest on fire to burn those things he hated. Perhaps, if everything was burned, no one would come here to cause trouble. The best solution was to burn the whole forest, but it was impossible! There were a lot of lakes and ferocious beasts near here. Some of the ferocious beasts knew how to put out the fire.
What a pity. However, it was not bad to leave something. If they burned everything, all the ferocious beasts would come out and the Wan Shi tribe would suffer.
Even though Fu Ji could not burn everything, this could at least make him feel better. He liked destroying things in person, which made him feel extremely happy.
“Go!” Looking at the burning fire and smoke, Fu Ji turned around and shouted.
In this place, in this season, the fire didn’t spread very fast, and many trees in the surrounding area did not burn so easily. Today there was no wind, so they had enough time to leave.
Although this time many people lost their lives in the forest, Fu Ji thought that this was a good trip for he felt reassured now.
“I wonder what those old guys will do now!” Fu Ji said.
Although from the bottom of his heart he knew that these old guys were really stronger than those in the Wan Shi tribe, he was not worried about it. He thought they would not be much stronger, right? It was impossible that all of the people of those tribes would come here to fight against them.
Fu Ji left with his men, but they did not go far when the sky began to rain.
It rained more and more heavily, so the fire, which they had tried hard to start, was put out. The rising smoke cleared.
“Fuck, it is raining!” Fu Ji said angrily.
Today it was really cloudy and he knew it would rain. But he did not expect that when he had just started the fire it would begin to rain.
But Fu Ji did not intend to return there. Anyway, he had done what was needed to be done.
Fu Ji was happy, but the shaman had a mixed feeling. He felt anxious again. Moreover, he felt even more worried than ever before. He hoped that what he was concerned about would never happen.
