<h4>Chapter 752 Wee To The ming Horn Tribe</h4>


    After the fifth lock was unlocked, Sapphire dug into the depths of the desert ground and slipped into a deep slumber. Shao Xuan had no clue how long it’d take to get past this stage. If the process was sessful, Sapphire would grow stronger and recover fully from its injuries. After emerging from each slumber following an unlock, Sapphire would experience changes like so. If it wasn’t sessful, not only would the injuries not heal but it would also suffer from negative effects. The ming Horn Tribe headquarters were a considerable distance away from the desert. Even if a problem were to arise, Shao Xuan wouldn’t be able to make it back in time. Sapphire would have to fend for itself.


    Not many Rock Hill City members were encountered during their journey home. Most were smaller groups, probably patrolling teams. They did not initiate attack even at the sight of the ming Horn convoy.


    Those teams had consisted of regr ves and not monsters. The current location was a long distance away from Rock Hill City territories, so the monsters had be a rare sight. Maybe they were all dispatched to the coastal battles.


    Hence, after the whole ordeal with Su Le, Shao Xuan and his men were not met with too much trouble. They trekked in the cooler night and rested in the warmer day. Before unlocking its lock, Sapphire was the one transporting the golden armours that were stripped off Su Le’s ves by the ming Horns. Now, the ming Horns had to carry it themselves. The weight of the armours was no big deal to them. They were even able to carry those armours along to hunt down desert beasts.


    Though the armours were indeed useful, it had limited movements when donner. It was hard to get used to. Hence, the ming Horns had decided that the best solution was to melt the armours down to forge new weapons. Perhaps a few excellent weapons could be made.


    “We’re finally out of this forsaken ce!” Ta stared ahead and eximed.


    Cha Cha was already one step ahead. It had flown out of the desert to search for the ming Horns that were waiting for their arrival nearby. They would being over to get them.


    The wind stirred the sand and created a visual obstacle. Though their vision was blurry, they could still feel the presence of approaching ming Horns.


    “Hunt Leader! Grand Elder!” Someone ran towards them.


    “Were you sessful? Oh? You raided someone’s party?” The weing party quickly helped them with the armours. From the looks of it, these did not look like it would be used by desert ves.


    “We met some trouble halfway. We looted these after we solved the issue.” Ta offered a simple exnation.


    Noticing a few unfamiliar faces in the convoy, someone asked, “Are they from the Gongjia family?”


    “Yes, that’s them.” After leaving the desert, Ta’s mood began to rx. He introduced the six Gongjia members to the other ming Horns. In consideration of thenguage barrier, Ta made an effort to use some coastalnguages. Though he was far from fluent, Gongjia Ren and the others could understand him sufficiently.


    The weing bunch looked at the coffin-like item on Shao Xuan’s back. They offered their assistance, only to be rejected by Shao Xuan.


    Shao Xuan was still unsure if this item was harmless. It would be better if he was the one carrying it. If the person inside the coffin was reanimated all of sudden, at least Shao Xuan could detect the activity right away. There was no one else capable of this.


    The other person did not press questions. After the desert group was received, they intended to leave the desert as soon as possible. The mission waspleted and they needed to head back soon. This ce really wasn’t suitable for an extended stay. They were merely waiting for them outside the desert and they had already felt ufortable. It went without saying that those who entered the desert were definitely suffering.


    “Move, move! Let’s go home!” Ta and others did not wish to stay another second longer in this ce. Though they were exhausted from the rushed journey, they were adamant on reaching home fast.


    Soon, shrubs were seen among the sandy grounds and they were no longer surrounded by a vast sea of yellow sand. The greenery brought life to their surroundings. Gongjia Ren and the others felt like they were bestowed a new life, even the ming Horns shared the same feeling. Their time in the desert was like a prolonged nightmare and they had almost fallen into an inescapable hell. Thank goodness everything was over.


    Entering a new ce, everything was fresh to the six Gongjia members. Even the air felt different.


    The tribal zones were very different from their home. At the coast, there was traffic everywhere. The coastal cities were very lively. One could find many paths that lead to the city. However, this ce felt a little more deste. Forests were plenty and ces with barren soil werepletely voided. Only wild birds could be found in those ces.


    There were not many caravans that passed through here. They asionally sighted small-scale long-distance teams that held stone tools and horn tools in their hands. Their clothes were not as exquisite and there were no gemstones to be seen. They had different values, hence their essories were naturally different.


    At the sight of the ming Horns, some of the groups looked nervous. Noticing the golden armour over their shoulder, some people had even tried to snatch it over. However, they failed miserably and had sustained injuries inflicted by the ming Horns’ weapons.


    Following that, the ming Horns weaved baskets with some vines and ced the golden armour inside to avoid unnecessary trouble. With that, the golden armour would be out of sight. Though they weren’t exactly afraid of potential robbers, they merely didn’t wish to waste more time on these matters.


    The six Gongjia members continued forward with the team, their hearts more grounded by the minute. Looks like the tribal lifestyle here wasn’t too far off from what they’ve envisioned, this could be particrly seen in the more remote tribes. They were dressed in garments made of nt fibre and their hairs were unkempt. Soiled presumably during their forage in the forest, they stared at the passing ming Horns alertly. If the ming Horns hadn’t told Gongjia Ren that these were people from a smaller tribe, he would’ve thought these were ves.


    “Don’t underestimate the smaller tribes. If they could survive till this day, surely there is a good reason behind it.” Shao Xuan warned the six Gongjia members. Though the smaller tribes were materialistically far behind, they wouldn’t lose in terms of survival abilities. If these tribesmen were thrown into the desert with the Gongjia members, the former would definitely outlive thetter.


    Truthfully, the ming Horn tribe wasn’t much better from smaller tribes in the past. Since when has the tribe begun to change?


    Ta entertained the thought carefully. Perhaps it had begun when Shao Xuan led them across the river. After that, the changes faced by the tribe were irreversible.


    Taking in the scenery along their journey, Gongjia Ren and the others couldn’t help but wonder how the ming Horn tribe would look like? Were the descriptions told by the ming Horns untrue?


    As the surrounding foliage grew denser, more traffic was encountered. The people were dressed well; their garments and tools wereparatively moreplex than what the Gongjia members had seen earlier. When a cleared path appeared in the middle of the forest, the six Gongjia members were told that they were getting close to the ming River Trading Point.


    Recognition clicked in Gongjia Ren’s heart. There were simr paths near city centres back home in the coastal region too.


    Upon seeing the ming Horns, a travelling team quickly moved to the side and evacuated a path for the tribesmen. Though the road was quite wide and had enough room for two traffic flows, they were in an area under the ming Horn tribe’s influence. The strong were respected. Hence, the travelling team were willing to move aside to show submission.


    Stepping onto the rock path, the six Gongjia members stared at the rocky floors in wonder.


    There were no traces of splicing at all. The floor looked to be a uniform body and there were even petrified flowers and trees lining its sides. Even the thin thorns on the nts were visible.


    “Is this... Is this the rock path created by the king beast?!” Gongjia Ren questioned.


    “Yes, this is it. Other than the king beast, what else could be capable of creating this?” Came Ta’s answer.


    Gongjia Ren was absolutely bewildered by the answer.


    How did the ming Horns find the courage to continue living here?


    If this had happened at the coast, many would’ve moved away once the appearance of a king beast was made known. They wouldn’t be as brave as the ming Horns to even think of staying here!


    “That... What is that?!” Gongjia Heng, who was beside Gongjia Ren, was looking into a certain distance with his chin tilted. Through the branches, he saw the tall building on the other side. There was a g banner at its very top that bore the ming Horn’s totem.


    “That is the ming River Tower, the highest point of our trading point. Our trading point is right over there.” The ming Horns spoke of this with great pride.


    “So it really is like a city?!” Gongjia Ren stared at the building with unmasked surprise.


    As they continued to move forward, the trading point was finally presented to everyone.


    “Everyone, wee to the ming Horn tribe.”
