Chapter 714, Inexplicable Magical Power

Translator: Silavin

 

Cheng Shi was a bit slow to react and had yet to come to his senses; he stood on the ship’s deck and suddenly froze.

 

He kept staring wide-eyed with his black pupils, feeling somewhat at a loss for a moment, asking dumbfounded. “What is this?”

 

For him, this ship would be his future; this was his first time seeing this vessel.

 

Even more so, it was his first time knowing what a ship was, and the shock it brought him was not insignificant.

 

Initially, he had not thought in this direction, but now that he had calmed down, he felt something was amiss.

 

Why was everyone on the river’s surface without sinking to the riverbed? Most importantly, what exactly was this thing? Why could it float on the river’s surface for such a long time, and still carry so many people?

 

Cheng Shi’s confusion was far too overwhelming, causing him to instantly feel somewhat at a loss, not knowing what he was doing.

 

“This is called a ship; it was made by people under the Shaman’s instruction. Isn’t it impressive?” Yan Hua explained happily.

 

“Ship? What is a ship?” Cheng Shi looked completely puzzled.

 

He was still aware, because when the ship was launched, he was not at the Flame Dragon Tribe. Moreover, when Su Bai wanted to build a ship, he did not know about it either, as it was all conducted in secret.

 

“It’s a transportation vehicle; except this time it moves on the surface of water.” Yan Hua continued explaining.

 

“So, it’s a transportation vehicle; now I understand.” Cheng Shi suddenly had a moment of realisation.

 

He was not unfamiliar with the term, ‘transportation vehicle’. The Tribe had carriages before, and when they were introduced, they said carriages were transportation vehicles.

 

Transportation vehicles were things used to replace walking, which was very easy to understand.

 

“It can travel on the river’s surface continuously.” Yan Hua became more animated as she spoke.

 

“Really?” Cheng Shi found it somewhat hard to believe.

 

He still felt this ship looked strange, especially its shape which resembled a leaf.

 

However, it was still made of wood after all; wouldn’t it break if attacked? This was what confused him greatly.

 

“Of course! We came out of the Tribe on this ship, and we’ve been travelling for so many days. What do you think?” Yan Hua straightened her posture.

 

“That’s truly magical then; I love it.” Cheng Shi was overjoyed.

 

He kept happily walking about on the ship’s deck, sometimes examining this, sometimes examining that, feeling everything looked quite magical.

 

“When you get very tired, you can go into the ship’s cabin to rest!” Sha Lan pointed towards the inside of the cabin.

 

“Who made this? To actually be able to craft wood into this shape… that person is too smart.” Cheng Shi sighed with admiration.

 

He saw that this ship had both ends curving upward, with something like a wooden house in the middle. It was truly something he had never seen before.

 

“This idea must of course come from the Shaman. Others would never think of such a thing.” Sha Lan explained.

 

“I knew it! Only the Shaman could think of something like this. Others couldn’t possibly think of it.” Cheng Shi’s inner thoughts were confirmed.

 

After Yan Hua enthusiastically explained for a while, she began asking. “How much longer until we arrive? We’ve been out for three days now.”

 

“Didn’t I already say, half a day?” Cheng Shi’s thoughts were all on the ship now.

 

“Really? That’s good then. I just wanted to confirm.” Yan Hua began to look forward to it.

 

Calculating the timing, three days was not much; it could even be said to be very short.

 

If they had to walk, it would not just take three days. It might take around ten days.

 

However, it still was not as fast as the hot air balloon; the hot air balloon only took just over two days to reach the seaside.

 

*Splash splash…*

 

The ship continued travelling on the river’s surface; after more than five hours, it began slowly approaching the Sea Fish Tribe.

 

That was to say, they finally saw the sea, a great river flowing straight ahead.

 

At the end, it slowly divided into the sea, and the ship followed the river channel alongside, slowly travelling into the sea.

 

Afterwards, following Cheng Shi’s guidance, the ship proceeded all the way towards the Sea Fish Tribe. Once at the seaside, everything came quickly.

 

Because the Sea Fish Tribe was right near the sea, they moored the ship and began to disembark.

 

After reaching the shore, it took them over an hour to arrive at the Sea Fish Tribe. At this moment, the Sea Fish Tribe was no longer as it had been before.

 

There were no more slaves in the Sea Fish Tribe; everyone was living in peace together. Naturally, all this was under Qiong Gu’s leadership.

 

“It’s only been a short while since we came, yet it feels like it’s changed completely.” Sha Lan looked around with surprise.

 

When they came before, this place was still very dirty, chaotic, and poor, with rubbish visible everywhere. As well as various unpleasant odours emanating at any time and place. Most critically, these odours were of all kinds, all mixed together, making people feel uncomfortable just from smelling them.

 

“It certainly is different, but it should all be due to Uncle Qiong Gu’s leadership; otherwise, it couldn’t possibly be like this now.” Yan Hua also surveyed the surroundings.

 

Yan Hua was not very surprised to see the Sea Fish Tribe’s changes; in her view, these changes were bound to happen sooner or later.

 

The Flame Dragon Tribe had become so amazing; there was no reason why the Sea Fish Tribe would become worse after being managed by the Flame Dragon Tribe.

 

“Let me first take you to see the Chieftain; he just finished his business today.” Cheng Shi led the way ahead.

 

“Good. Where’s Ai’er?” Sha Lan asked curiously.

 

“She’s already been arranged to rest in a Teepee; she’ll come find us when she wakes up.” Cheng Shi said.

 

*Step step step…*

 

Everyone stepped towards the Chieftain’s Teepee, reported on today’s visit, and then left.

 

They planned to stay overnight at the Sea Fish Tribe and set off tomorrow morning to return to the Flame Dragon Tribe.

 

All the Warriors brought this time were also left behind, for the purpose of assisting the Sea Fish Tribe’s development.

 

“It seems the people here are still somewhat reluctant; hopefully after some time they’ll be able to change their minds.” Yan Hua frowned.

 

She could sense the dissatisfaction of the original Sea Fish Tribe people. They still had yet to completely submit to the Flame Dragon Tribe.

 

However, that made sense too; how could a Tribe that was originally independent be willing to submit to other Tribes?

 

“They’re too ungrateful. The Shaman clearly saved them, yet they still won’t acknowledge it.” Sha Lan felt somewhat speechless.

 

“Under Uncle Qiong Gu’s leadership, they’ll definitely gradually change.” Yan Hua raised her eyebrows slightly.

 

Yan Hua believed this point firmly, because the Shaman had an inexplicable magical power that could make others willing to submit to him wholeheartedly.

 

“I think so too.” Sha Lan said with a smile.

 

“Let’s go; we’ll look around other places as well.” Yan Hua walked ahead.
