Chapter 780

Qin looked at the hot air balloon before her in surprise, her scarlet eyes continuously blinking. She had never seen such a thing before. The large Animal Hide balloon, the small iron basin containing charcoal fire. And that large wooden basket. These things taken out individually were still somewhat recognizable, but once combined together, they became completely different, completely unfamiliar.

 

“What exactly is this thing?” She could not help but ask.

 

She kept circling left and right around the hot air balloon, hesitating for a long time before daring to reach out and touch it.

 

“This is called a hot air balloon. It can take us up into the sky. We’ll use this hot air balloon to leave the Tribe.” Sha Hong explained.

 

Sha Hong, seeing the scarlet haired girl’s appearance, felt as if she were looking at her own Daughter, inexplicably giving rise to a sense of intimacy.

 

Generally, Sha Hong did not have a good expression towards people from other Tribes, especially this kind of person who planned to cheat things from the Flame Dragon Tribe.

 

However, when she saw Qin, she could not dislike her at all. Inexplicably, she even had a feeling of wanting to protect her.

 

“Fly up? This thing can fly?” Qin suspected her ears had heard incorrectly.

 

“Of course. This is the Shaman’s masterpiece. It can quickly take us to the place where your Tribesmen are.” Sha Hong stepped into the wooden basket.

 

Sha Hong extended her left hand, indicating for the other party to hold her hand and come up. This gesture was also unlike her usual style.

 

Qin also froze when seeing Sha Hong extend her hand, momentarily unsure of what to do.

 

She had not expected the other party to be so friendly. From the imposing aura emanating from the other party, she could sense that the other party was very strong.

 

Moreover, her outward appearance also seemed exceptionally cold. In any case, she gave off a cold, unapproachable feeling. However, the other party’s current gesture was somewhat beyond her expectations.

 

“Thank you.” Qin hesitated for quite a while before expressing her gratitude. This phrase had just been learned.

 

Sha Hong was obviously stunned by the other party’s expression of ‘thanks’, not expecting the other party to learn so quickly.

 

*Whoosh whoosh whoosh…*

 

The atmosphere became very awkward. None of the three people in the hot air balloon spoke. Besides Sha Hong, accompanying them on departure this time was also Mai Mang.

 

Mai Mang held a package of dried grilled fish in his hand, eating with great relish, occasionally making some smacking sounds with his mouth.

 

This package of small dried fish was made from fish that the Tribe’s people had caught by the riverside, brought back, dried, and processed. There were several flavours altogether.

 

Spicy, original flavour, and sweet and sour—three kinds. All three flavours of small dried fish were delicious.

 

They were now also placed in the Central Market for people to trade. They were also goods that would be exchanged completely as soon as they were put on the shelves.

 

“Don’t make such sounds when eating,” Sha Hong scolded.

 

She most hated when others smacked their mouths while eating. That kind of smacking sound drove her mad.

 

Moreover, Sha Hong had also heard Su Bai say that smacking one’s mouth while eating was very impolite and also very inelegant.

 

“You should try some. It is so delicious. You’ll smack your mouth too if you eat it.” Mai Mang passed the small dried fish over.

 

“Take it away!” Sha Hong had originally wanted to try some, but was dissuaded by the sounds the other party made while eating.

 

He silently looked up at Sha Hong from the side, with an indescribable feeling in her heart.

 

This was completely different from when she had pulled her up onto the hot air balloon just now. Now she has changed back into a cold person.

 

“Which Tribe were you originally from?” Sha Hong suddenly asked. She wanted to know exactly where she came from, what kind of life she had lived before, and so on.

 

“I don’t want to talk about the past. It’s better to live well in the present,” Qin inexplicably said, showing a sense of maturity.

 

“Sure! I won’t force it. But are those Tribesmen of yours all from the same Tribe as you?” Sha Hong asked indifferently.

 

“No, but we can also count as one.” Qin blinked her scarlet eyes.

 

“…then I understand.” Sha Hong understood what the other party meant.

 

“They are very important to me, so I have long regarded them as people from one Tribe,” Qin’s tone was especially serious.

 

She had always felt this way. Even though the Tribesmen she was now with were not people from her previous Tribe. Among those one hundred or so people, only she was from another Tribe. All the remaining people came from the same Tribe.

 

At that time, she had been injured and unconscious in the forest. She happened to be discovered by these wandering Tribesmen.

 

So, the young girl had been following this group. Even though many Tribes wanted to take her in as an individual, she had refused outright.

 

However, the time she had been following these wandering Tribemen was not long. It was only from the end of the snow season until now.

 

“Speaking of which, do you think they will really be willing to come with you to the Flame Dragon Tribe?” Sha Hong continued asking.

 

“They will definitely agree. They have been waiting for this day for too long,” Qin’s tone became excited again.

 

It seemed that whenever she talked about her Tribesmen, the young girl would become lively, completely different from what had been seen just before.

 

“I hope so. Our Shaman is a person worth following. Following him will definitely not be wrong,” Sha Hong also became serious.

 

Having lived so many years and personally raised a Daughter, she had seen quite a few people. However, there were not many people who made her submit from the bottom of her heart. Su Bai was the one who made her submit wholeheartedly.

 

“Although I don’t understand your Shaman, I had brief contact with him, and I also think he is different,” He looked up at Sha Hong.

 

When spending time with Su Bai in the dungeon, the young girl’s attention had been sizing up the other party from beginning to end.

 

The feeling Su Bai gave her was really too different. He had the dignified bearing of a Shaman, but also had the vitality-filled feeling of youth.

 

These two feelings appearing on one person were not discordant at all. It really made one unable to resist wanting to learn more about him out of curiosity.

 

“After you completely become a person of the Flame Dragon Tribe, I believe you will come to like our Tribe.” Sha Hong took out a package of small dried fish from her bag and passed it over.

 

Every time the Warriors went out on missions, they would more or less carry some small snacks on them.

 

Although small snacks could not completely fill one up, they allowed them to satisfy their cravings on the road during missions.

 

Furthermore, these small snacks also had many seasonings added. The taste when eating them was also extremely excellent.

 

Qin froze when seeing that package of small dried fish, not daring to reach out and accept it.

 

She shook her head and said softly, “I’m not hungry. You eat it.”

 

“This is just a snack to pass time on the road,” Sha Hong opened the small dried fish.

 

After the small dried fish was opened, that fragrant smell instantly wafted out. This package had a strong spicy flavour.

 

Qin could not help but twitch her nose, forcefully inhaling the fragrant smell emanating from this package of small dried fish.

 

She hesitated for a while, then said indifferently, “This smell is so fragrant…”
