Chapter 2649: Chapter 1148: Blazing Flames Engulf the Mountain (Part 3)

If not for the help of these spiritual ropes, we might have been thrown off without warning.

She had ridden giant eagles before, but compared to the giant eagle cultivated by Gaven, the giant eagles raised by the Golia tribe seemed like toddlers just learning to walk, incredibly slow.

Gaven flew at full speed while communicating mentally with Kellysha: "In the past two years, have we had any friction with those Dwarves Elves to the south? Do you know what they’re up to?"

"No friction at all." Kellysha was stunned, not knowing why Gaven suddenly asked this question, she replied honestly, "They seem to have gone into strategic retreat, their activities on the surface have significantly reduced, and there’s seldom any intelligence on them."

"Lack of intelligence is the biggest problem." Gaven sighed, "We have somewhat neglected them!"

"What do you mean, Lord?"

"Do you think those Dwarves Elves are the kind to give up easily?

They’re choosing to endure in silence, surely plotting bigger conspiracies and plans.

Especially with your Golia tribe preparing for a grand merger in Mesnoel to form a united tribe, do you think they’ll just sit and watch this happen?"

Gaven asked several questions in a row, these questions were not only directed at Kellysha but also at himself.

This time Kellysha finally realized, her face suddenly changed: "Lord, do you mean to say, this wildfire isn’t a natural wildfire, but a conspiracy by those Dwarves Elves designed to target our Golia tribe? Possibly even directed at Mesnoel?"

"I’m merely speculating at the moment, without any evidence." Gaven responded truthfully, "But the timing is too coincidental to ignore, we must be mentally prepared as early as possible."

"I hope it’s just a pure coincidence!" Kellysha prayed with a grim expression.

Natural wildfires and arson are fundamentally different in nature.

If it’s the former, natural conditions can be fully utilized to evade it.

If it’s the latter, who knows how many plots and schemes are mixed in, which the Dwarves Elves are most adept at.

The more you worry about something, the more it seems to come.

As they quickly approached the wildfire frontline, their mood grew heavier.

Because they discovered, this wildfire was much bigger than they anticipated, far more mountain peaks were ignited beyond their sight.

"This is definitely not a natural wildfire." Gaven said with absolute certainty, "Those wise natural beings emphasize disaster prevention, they set up various firebreaks in dense forests and mountain forests to prevent fire spread.

Only arson could quickly break through these firebreaks, and it couldn’t be done by ordinary means, this is arson using magic!

From the time you noticed the wildfire to the fire’s spread, was it a very short period?"

"Yes." Kellysha gritted her teeth, "By the time we received warnings from the natural beings, the wildfire had already spread, unstoppable."

"There!" Gaven’s gaze locked onto a bald mountain top already drenched by the downpour, teeming with fleeing life.

Amidst them, a group stood out like a crane among chickens, very conspicuous.

They were tall and robust, their bodies covered in stony patterns, they were a group of Golia people.

"Let’s go down and take a look." Kellysha said immediately.

Even before she suggested it, Gaven had already done so.

As the distance closed, the situation there became clearer.

The reason this mountain top was bald was due to both natural and human factors, there were many fresh tree stumps, obviously just felled, creating a makeshift shelter.

Mountain goats, elk, wild boars, ferocious tigers, wolf packs, mountain leopards, rabbits, pheasants, wild ducks...

These lives, originally in relationships of hunter and prey, were now all huddled together without any signs of hunting or fighting, many bearing the marks of being seared by the fire.

There were nearly a hundred Golia people among them, of all ages, a standard Golia tribe.

Watching the surrounding wildfire being extinguished by the heavy rain, these lives began to stir.

What made them hesitate now was, they were unsure how long this heavy rain would last.

If it suddenly stopped, the not fully extinguished wildfire could rekindle, especially having witnessed those terrifying evil arsonists’ rampant figures firsthand.

Gaven and his arrival caused quite a stir here.

Three giant eagles soared into the sky to greet them, ridden by three relatively short Golia people, and seeing Kellysha, they breathed a sigh of relief, waving enthusiastically from afar, "Kellysha sister, I didn’t expect us to meet again in this manner."

In a mountain range’s Golia tribe, most people were familiar with each other, and many tribes would have customary mountaintop meetings every one or two years, holding large sacrificial ceremonies.

Nominally sacrifices, but actually matchmaking unions, a custom and tradition from ancient times to avoid the tragedy of the giant Gods.

Due to sibling unions, the Father of Giants An Nan and the Mother of Giants Sky Goddess, gave birth to both majestic divinities like Chieftain Kavatch and twisted, ugly offspring like God of Wasteland Giants Karloto.

As descendants of Chieftain Kavatch, there was an unwritten rule in the Golia tribe - prohibiting marriages between close relatives, especially between siblings, fathers and daughters, mothers and sons.

"Zanita sister, let’s get to the point." Kellysha didn’t spend time on pleasantries but asked, "Did your tribe suffer many casualties?"

"There were no casualties among the people, but our herds didn’t escape, most of them remained in the sea of fire, and those heavy winter supplies were forcibly abandoned."

The female Golia named Zanita spoke with an undisguisable look of sorrow.

The horror of such a natural disaster lies in its lasting impact on a tribe.

Escaping the raging wildfire is just the beginning; in the coming years, their tribe will face food shortages, especially with the approaching winter.
