*Rustle rustle…*

After travelling through the night, Sha Hong brought that group of people from the palace to the riverside, encountering considerable danger during the journey.

After all, they had begun moving at night, so it was inevitable they would encounter some Ferocious Beasts that only moved at night.

However, relying on Sha Hong’s strength and with Mai Mang present, all these dangers were completely resolved.

The group she was leading also breathed a sigh of relief, having originally thought they would die in the forest.

By the time they arrived at the edge of the great river, the sky had already grown slightly bright. They could see a faint white emerging from the distant horizon.

During the journey forward, many people were exhausted and desperately wanted to rest and sleep, but Sha Hong forced them all to continue hurrying along.

This was not the time to let them rest. They had to press on quickly to reach the riverside.

The boats could not remain stopped at the river’s edge indefinitely; those Ferocious Beasts in the river would certainly be restless.

Therefore, they had to get those people onto the boats quickly, or they would be attacked by the Ferocious Beasts in the river.

Not only that, even the Ferocious Beasts on the shore would be restless. In short, this was an extremely dangerous matter.

Since there were not many people who had come out with the boats this time, there was not much energy to spare for resisting those Ferocious Beasts.

Time passed minute by minute, and that group of people all boarded the boats one after another.

Everyone was utterly shocked by the enormous structures before them, completely silent at first.

It was not that they had nothing to say, but rather they were too shocked to speak. Before long, they began to grow excited again.

“What are these things? Why are they so strange? They can actually stop on the river’s surface.”

“I don’t know if they are Ferocious Beasts, but they do not seem to have any signs of life.”

“What do you reckon makes the Flame Dragon Tribe so strange? First there was that unknown thing flying in the sky, and now there are these things stopped on the river’s surface.”

“Do you think going to the Flame Dragon Tribe is really the right decision? Why do I have a bad feeling?”

“I feel the same way, but at this point we have no other choice. Alibu, our leader, has already boarded the boat.”

That group kept discussing from the riverbank all the way onto the boat, having far too much curiosity about these vessels on the river.

Some were shocked by the boats’ enormity and the supernatural craftsmanship that kept it floating on the river’s surface.

Others began to worry, concerned whether the boats would take them somewhere undesirable.

Of course, among this group of worried people, there were also some who were more optimistic. They felt that since things had already become this terrible, it would not matter much if they became a bit worse.

“This is a boat?” Qin stood on the deck in shock.

She scanned her surroundings in amazement, standing on the left side for a moment, then on the right side, looking around.

Having grown this old without ever seeing something so shocking, today she truly had her eyes opened.

No, it should be said she had been taught two lessons: from that hot air balloon all the way to these boats.

The hot air balloon had shocked her because it could fly in the sky without any problems throughout the entire journey. Moreover, the travel time could be greatly shortened. This was far better than them walking through the entire forest on foot.

Then there were the boats. Their enormity also left her feeling extremely shocked.

Such large boats could actually stand safely on the river’s surface, and could even carry so many people.

The key point was that after so many people had boarded, the boats showed no signs whatsoever of sinking.

“That’s right, these are boats.” Sha Hong nodded.

Qin had asked so many questions along the way, including questions about why they needed to go to the riverside.

Sha Hong had also explained the reasons to her, patiently one by one.

“Were these all created by the Flame Dragon Tribe’s Shaman?” Qin found it somewhat hard to believe.

Because this completely defied common sense. It was impossible for Humans to achieve such things. Who could possibly create boats and hot air balloons, especially things that flew in the air and travelled on the river’s surface?

“All of this is our Tribe’s Shaman’s doing. Otherwise, our Tribe wouldn’t have these things.” Sha Hong smiled.

Now, hearing people from other Tribes desperately praising the Flame Dragon Tribe, Sha Hong’s heart felt extremely happy.

At the same time, there was also a sense of pride, the kind of pride as if the Flame Dragon Tribe had grown up.

Rather than saying the Flame Dragon Tribe had grown up, it would be better to say the Flame Dragon Tribe had become powerful under Su Bai’s leadership.

If Su Bai did not exist in the Flame Dragon Tribe, the Flame Dragon Tribe would likely have gone extinct long ago.

“The Shaman is truly too amazing. We’ll be able to live good lives in the future too, right?” Qin could not help but begin to yearn.

She desperately wanted to be able to live a good life herself. She had lived through far too many bitter days in the past.

“Our Tribe doesn’t have such troublesome matters. As long as you’re willing to work, the Shaman will definitely arrange food and housing for you.” Sha Hong said.

Sha Hong had truly spoken a lot today. She usually did not speak much, perhaps seven or eight days combined would only equal today’s amount of speech.

It was just that Sha Hong liked this girl too much and could not help but want to say a few more words, as if speaking with her own Daughter.

“That’s truly wonderful. All of us are very diligent and absolutely won’t be lazy.” Qin said earnestly.

She seemed to have already seen the good life right before her eyes, so her mood was particularly excited now.

“Tell me then, what are your Tribesmen skilled at doing?” Sha Hong asked curiously.

In any case, returning to the Tribe would not be until the afternoon. With nothing to do on the boat, they might as well chat. She could also learn in advance what these people did, then tell the Chieftain about it after returning to the Tribe.

“We’re skilled at everything. The adult men going hunting should not be a problem, and those women can also make Beast Hide clothes.” Qin said enthusiastically.

It was as if she had already begun arranging her future life, her face covered with smiles.

“I’m afraid your adult men won’t be able to go hunting.” Sha Hong smiled slightly.

Qin suddenly froze, the smile on her face beginning to disappear slowly, and asked, “Why? Does the Shaman not need our Tribe’s adult men?”

“It’s not that they’re not needed, it’s just that they have better work to do. The hunting work in our Tribe is done by specialised people.” Sha Hong said gently.

Sha Hong today revealed a rarely seen gentle expression, making Mai Mang beside her feel extremely surprised.

He felt that today’s Sha Hong was completely different, but he dared not ask what had happened.

“I see. As long as they have work, that’s fine.” Qin smiled again.

*Splash splash…*

The boats slowly moved forward in the river at the break of dawn, leaving shallow white waves trailing behind it.
