Chapter 244 - Outrage
Translated by Lesyt Team

Not long after the people of the Wan Shi tribe left, the Flaming Horns tribe arrived at this place.
Those carved stones were like boundary markers. But some of them had been removed, some had cracks or had been cut, and some had been burned.
They must have been damaged by the people of the Wan Shi tribe.
Looking up, Shao Xuan did not see the tall stone pillar that seemed to stand above the forest.
Shao Xuan suddenly felt an ominous feeling.
He was afraid that something bad happened to the fire pit.
Besides Shao Xuan, the Shaman also had such a feeling and his hand holding the crutch was shaking.
A burning fire line extended to their feet.
They did not feel scared. Instead, they were familiar with this, and finally got a sense of belonging.
The totem pattern in all their minds was active and very energetic.
Setting foot on the land made them become high-spirited and energetic.
The old land!
Here it is!
Their eyes were keen.
They would reach soon. Just a few steps away from it, just a few steps...
At last, however, when they walked through the forest and arrived at the ruins, what they saw shocked each of them.
Some destruction was caused by environmental factors. But the collapsed houses had been completely destroyed by men several times over. In the center, a large hole had been dug and the fallen pillar told people what it had experienced.
The whole ruins were bleak.
In spite of the bright sunshine, it still looked very bleak.
“This... this is... the old land?” Ao’s voice faltered.
How could it be like this?
This scene puzzled the people of the Flaming Horns tribe people.
The Shaman walked a few steps forward to get a closer look. He staggered, and his hand held the crutch more tightly. The bulging pulse on his hand’s back was beating, and because of the changing emotions when he saw the scene, his body shook uncontrollably.
The ancestors of the Flaming Horns tribe had waited for so many years to come back here. Finally they returned here again, but unexpectedly they saw such a scene.

Besides anger, there was a touch of deep sadness.
Staring at the fragmented and damaged stones, the Shaman felt heartbroken.
When Shao Xuan had returned from this place, he had drawn a picture of this place on a Shaman Volume and showed it to the Shaman. Therefore, in the entire tribe, the Shaman was the second most familiar with the situation of this place. He was clear where the houses, the stone pillars, and the fire pit were.
Two years ago, although it had been a ruin and looked bleak and desolated, now it was much bleaker.
Even the fire pit had been damaged!
How could it be! Bastard!
Raising his old bark like hand, the Shaman gently covered his chest.
So painful!
He had never felt so heartbroken!
From birth, taking up this post, to now, this old man had never had such a feeling. He was not injured, but he had a great pain.
The Shaman was too shocked. Shao Xuan worried the Shaman couldn’t bear it and he hurriedly helped him stand firmly.
Seeing the Shaman staring at the collapsed stone pillar that had been cut into pieces, Shao Xuan said, “Now we have come back. A pillar fell, but we can make a longer one. I still remember the patterns on the pillar, we can copy it in the style of the ancestors.”
Of course, he just said so to comfort him. What was more important was that it had been damaged again and again. This was a sound reason for them to launch a war. This was a provoking insult. The people of the Flaming Horns tribe couldn’t bear it.
Ao clenched his fists furiously, this chief showed his anger.
“Who?! Who did this?!”
Several consecutive roars like cannons bursting exploded in this forest. A lot of birds and animals ran away scared.
After calming down, Ao soon thought of who would do so, because Shao Xuan had told the situation about what had happened in this place to him.
The Wan Shi tribe!
Stroking those carved stone, Ao clenched his teeth.
As a person who dealt with stone tools from an early age, he could get much information, judging from the traces. Several traces on this stone had been left long long ago. Half of the rest had been left withing one to two years, and the other half had been newly made just before their arrival.
There were many traces of human activities around, which showed that the people who caused this had just left.
Stroking the stones, the grief in Ao’s eyes gradually disappeared and he looked furious very soon. Because of the anger, his eyes became red.
“They have not gone far!”

“I will go after them!” Ta could not help but say.
“Me too, ‘Xue’ can help find those people.” Gui He said.
The ‘Xue’ was the white falcon, who would play an important part in detecting and hunting prey. [‘Xue’ means snow]
“Bring several other beasts too, for their sense of smell is very sharp.” Shao Xuan said. Now the rain had stopped, and they could still smell it.
Ao stood up, looked at the angry faces of the people of the Flaming Horns tribe behind him and looked at the Shaman.
The Shaman did not say anything and just removed his hand covering his chest. He waved his hand heavily and outwards.
Everyone understood the Shaman’s attitude. This meant he let Ao and Shao Xuan do what they thought they should do.
“What about here?” Ao asked.
“Do not worry, here is the old land! The place belongs to the Flaming Horns tribe!” The Shaman said firmly, shocking them.
Because it was the old land and the fire seed was here. It would only protect those of the Flaming Horns tribe.
“I got it.” Ao lifted his hand to point at a few ferocious beasts, indicating that they should set out. Another thirty people were ordered to go with them.
Shao Xuan and Caesar went first.
Except for the turtle pulling the carriage where the fire seed was, all the others left.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh...
The warriors ordered to go with them put down their animal skin bags one by one. Picking up the weapons, they quickly went through the grass and followed after the few ferocious beasts.
……
In the forest, the escaping people encountered some beasts, causing them to disperse.
One warrior of the Wan Shi tribe left his partners. He was too tired and sat on the ground. Out of breath, he opened his mouth, his heart was beating quickly and his body shaking. From time to time, he looked back in horror, and his eyes were full of fear.
Ga~ga~
A roar was heard. The warrior of the Wan Shi tribe who was sitting on the ground bounced from the ground at once as if he was stung by a needle and tried hard to run away.
Behind him, five carnivorous birds were shouting and chasing after him. They ran fast and were very familiar with this forest, so they could run as fast as the people in front of them.
Hearing the approaching footsteps and cries, the running warrior of the Wan Shi tribe felt desperate, for he was alone against the five birds behind him. He would die or get seriously injured. He closed his eyes and then opened them. He clenched his sword and intended to try his best to defeat them.
“Ah~~!”

When the warrior of the Wan Shi tribe waved his sword and turned around to fight to the death, he saw that the five carnivorous birds chasing him all stopped at once. The birds' claws splattered up muddy water, which splashed on him.
Before the warrior could even move his sword, those five birds tried hard to run away, even without even a cry.
The warrior stood there, holding his sword. He stared at the five running away from him and gasped for air. Just as his life was temporarily saved, he heard the piercing sounds similar to those of the footsteps of those birds. But this sound seemed to move faster.
Why did those proud hunters flee so quickly? Was it really not because of him?
He was in a greater panic.
He changed his direction and ran away from where the sounds of footsteps were heard.
But, this time the one chasing him was much more powerful.
Da! Da! Da!
Behind him, each sound of the footsteps was like thunder, scaring him a lot. He did not even look back to see what it was and just ran away.
Within two minutes, a hoe-like bird head stabbed the warrior. He was immediately knocked down to the ground. There was a hole in the back of his neck and the wound was bleeding.
Mai arrived there following the crane. No matter whether the person on the ground died or not, he struck his sword at him.
“Continue on!” Mai patted the head of the bird next to him and said.
It had intended to chase the several birds as a meal. Hearing Mai’s words, it had to temporarily give up this idea. After all, it would have many chances to get its food.
Similar things happened all over the forest.
This time, Ao had ordered Shao Xuan, the only intermediate totem warrior, and another thirty senior totem warriors to come here.
In the sky, Chacha and that white falcon were flying. In the forest, the fewferocious beasts led the warriors in the chase after those Wan Shi tribesmen. As long as they were still in the forest, Ao planned to kill all of them.
At the same time, in the Wan Shi tribe, the shaman of the Wan Shi tribe once again hurried into the living room of the chief, Fu Ji, who was still enjoying himself.
“Chief, the fire seed, the fire seed changed!”
Looking at the shaman, who panicked more than ever before, Fu Ji was disappointed at him. Over the past two years, he had always felt that there had been a threat in the forest, but he hadn't found anything abnormal after sending people there.
Fu Ji had always thought it was done by those few old guys who hated him in the central region. He was also irritated by this. The shaman's panic worried Fu Ji and planned to lead a group of people in there. It was better to find some evidence so that he could accuse those old guys. Did they not often say that they would not start a war? What about this? If he could get something from them, it was even better.
Fu Ji was not afraid to offend others, for this place was his site.
He kicked the door to open it, and called his men, Fu Ji decided to go to the forest.
