Chapter 685, Unreasonable Events

Translator: Silavin

 

The Sun rose from the east, beginning with just a hint of pale dawn light, gradually revealing its entire silhouette.

 

The warm orange-red sunlight spread across the earth, instantly illuminating the primitive forest.

 

The streams, stones, and other features within the forest emerged from their night-time silence to welcome a new day.

 

There was also a group of people within the forest advancing towards the Flame Dragon Tribe. No, it was several groups of people.

 

Though these people were all in different directions, their destination was the same.

 

Each person carried Animal Hide Bags of various sizes, and each group wore different decorations.

 

Whether it was their clothing, the colours painted on their faces, or their manner of travelling in formation.

 

Each had their own characteristics. It was obvious that these groups came from several different Tribes.

 

Each Tribe had its own distinctive features, some Tribes wore Beast Bones on their heads. Some Tribes hung Beast Bones at their waists, and some even carried Beast Bones on their backs.

 

In short, no Tribe’s decorations were completely identical to another Tribe’s.

 

This was also an important basis for distinguishing which Tribe a person came from, not to mention their different ways of travelling in formation.

 

Each group trained their Warriors differently, so naturally their travelling formations were also different.

 

“How much longer till we reach?” Ban looked up at the Sun in the sky.

 

His yellow hair was already soaked with sweat, and it was only morning.

 

The primitive forest was extremely sultry; the dense jungle did not allow any breeze through, and it was the height of summer.

 

Walking inside for even a short time would immediately leave one drenched in sweat, with heatstroke being a real possibility.

 

“We can arrive today, as long as nothing unexpected happens.” Ah Liv said, standing on her tiptoes to look ahead.

 

“What do you mean by something unexpected?” Ban widened his yellow eyes.

 

Leaving one’s Tribe to visit another Tribe could be considered a thankless task, never mind how dangerous the journey was. Just this sultry weather alone was enough to make one miserable, with prickly heat constantly breaking out all over one’s body.

 

Added to this, there were many mosquitoes and insects in the primitive forest, and they only wore thin Animal Hide.

 

Being bitten by mosquitoes and insects was agonising. Warriors too had bodies of flesh and blood. Enduring pain and such was one thing, but the itching sensation from insect bites was truly unbearable.

 

“I mean not encountering any Ferocious Beasts on the way, especially Ancient Blood Ferocious Beasts. Those would be much harder to deal with.” Ah Liv clasped her hands behind her back and continued, “If we encounter them, wouldn’t it delay us for a very long time? That’s what I mean by something unexpected.”

 

She did not know why the other person reacted so strongly, but then again, the sweat dripping continuously from his body showed how he felt.

 

The girl also felt extremely hot, but having a place she really wanted to visit in mind reduced this discomfort considerably.

 

“I thought you were deceiving me. I was wondering in my heart why this Flame Dragon Tribe is so far away…” Ban sighed with relief.

 

He was in his thirties, but his mentality was not particularly mature, and he quite enjoyed joking around.

 

“How could I possibly deceive you? Let’s hurry up and set off already.” Ah Liv said, somewhat unable to wait.

 

“I also want to get out of this forest quickly. It’s really too hot.” Ban felt his mouth and tongue going dry.

 

They had only been travelling for less than an hour and already felt covered in sweat all over.

 

“If memory serves me well, we still need to advance for a whole day. There’s nothing to be done about it,” Ah Liv shrugged.

 

“Very well…” Ban sighed.

 

*Step step step…*

 

…

 

Time passed minute by minute, night quietly fell, and the primitive forest was once again shrouded in darkness.

 

*Hoot hoot hoot…*

*Chirp chirp chirp…*

 

The calls of wild beasts echoed through the forest, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely dangerous.

 

Fortunately, the people from the Green Vine Tribe had already reached the Flame Dragon Tribe, otherwise they would have had to sleep in the forest again tonight.

 

“Good thing we didn’t rest at noon, otherwise we definitely wouldn’t have arrived today,” Ah Liv sighed with relief.

 

She had been somewhat worried about what to do if they could not arrive today, having promised this morning that they would definitely arrive.

 

“But where is this Restful Night Building? That name is really strange,” Ban said curiously.

 

They had naturally gone through registration and inspection at the entrance, and their weapons had long been confiscated.

 

At first, everyone was unwilling, but fortunately Ah Liv persuaded them, and everyone reluctantly handed over their weapons.

 

Between handing over their weapons and staying in the Wilderness, they definitely chose the former, especially since Ah Liv had been here before.

 

After everyone entered, the Flame Dragon Tribe people reminded them they could stay overnight in the Restful Night Building.

 

Only then did they stroll through the Flame Dragon Tribe, heading towards the Restful Night Building.

 

“So this is it.” Ban said in amazement, looking up at that structure.

 

Not only was he amazed, but the others had long been stunned by the sight. This was their first time seeing such a tall building.

 

When they heard this was used for people to live in, their eyes opened even wider.

 

“I remember when I came last time, this wasn’t here. Could it have been made during the snow season?” Ah Liv was amazed beyond measure.

 

In her heart, she began to wonder if the Flame Dragon Tribe was magical. How could they create such a tall cement house again in such a short time?

 

Moreover, this cement house was used for people to live in. Besides marvelling at the Flame Dragon Tribe’s magic, she also marvelled at their kindness.

 

In this Primitive Era, no Tribe was willing to shelter people from other Tribes, not wanting to invite trouble.

 

Furthermore, people from other Tribes were not easy to manage when they stayed overnight. After all, most people who went to other Tribes were Totem Warriors. How could one control such people?

 

“You didn’t see it when you came last time? Are you sure you haven’t forgotten?” Ban asked.

 

He did not think the Flame Dragon Tribe could build this structure during the snow season. Such a tall building could not have just appeared overnight.

 

“I remember very clearly, there definitely wasn’t one. Even with the snow falling, it wouldn’t affect my memory.” Ah Liv said with complete certainty.

 

“Since it was not built during the snow season, it must have been built after eternal night ended…” Ban speculated.

 

The weather after eternal night ended showed no abnormalities. Perhaps the Flame Dragon Tribe took advantage of this time to build it?

 

But thinking it over, he found it unreasonable. After all, how could they possibly build such a tall house in such a short time? Moreover, it was entirely made of stacked stones, making it even more unbelievable.

 

“Never mind for now. We’ll ask tomorrow and find out. Let’s hurry inside and rest. Tomorrow we still need to trade our goods.” Ah Liv urged.

 

The girl had finished marvelling and now just wanted to lie down and sleep. She was too tired.

 

“You’re right. We also saw people from other Tribes today. Tomorrow, we need to be earlier than them.” Ban nodded.
