Chapter 308



What kind of person was the king of Luoye City? Shao Xuan had not seen him since he came to this city, and he had learned very little from other people. What he knew was only what was generally known to all.

Before Shao Xuan separated from Su Gu, what he told him was, in fact, the weakness of the Quicksand Beast. The Flaming Horns tribe lived in the Ferocious Beast Mountain forest, this Su Gu knew. He then felt that Shao Xuan could determine the weakness of the Quicksand Beast probably because the tribe often came in contact with fierce beasts. He had not much doubt for Shao Xuan. Even if there was, he would not volunteer to ask since their two sides was in a cooperative relationship. As long as everyone was favorable, it was not necessary to divulge each other’s secrets.

Su Gu intended to have the sand beast as one of his birthday gifts to the king, adding to that “stone” Su Gu liked. For Su Gu, those were already very good gifts, but, in order to be able to get more chips, Shao Xuan informing him of the weakness of the sand beast could also be sent up as one of the birthday gifts. This was even more important than the Quicksand Beast. After all, the cost of killing a Quicksand Beast was too high, and it was different to know its weakness and then kill it.

The slave owners of Luoye City have learned how to lure a Quicksand Beast. Therefore, this message given by Shao Xuan would undoubtedly reduce their wear and tear to a great extent.

As to whether the king would attribute the killing of the sand beast to Shao Xuan’s group, that would be for Su Gu to solve.

Back to their residence in the city, Shao Xuan carefully recalled the anomaly with the appearance of the sand beast. With his many years of hunting experience, he understood that the sand beast seemed to have been angered, and not necessarily by the second young master’s people. The timing was just right, and there was a sense of a diversion with some of the oasis guards leaving when the Quicksand Beast came.

Was that a coincidence? Shao Xuan didn’t think so.

Thinking of the words Ai Shi had said before, Shao Xuan could not help but think of Dao Yu, now a slave under a White Rock City slave owner.

Putting aside the other things, Dao Yu was a ruthless man. Shao Xuan was not worried, and did not fear him but he was still a great threat to the Flaming Horns tribe.

The next day, Su Gu came to the tribe’s “embassy” to find Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan checked on the appearance of the third young master. Although he looked tired, his eyes was bright with joy.

“It seems to have gone well.” Shao Xuan said.

“Yes, you’re right!” Su Gu did not go into detail of what happened after in the palace. However, he still told Shao Xuan that his second brother was punished by the king. Those slaves who had pulled the Quicksand Beast to the oasis were also executed. Meanwhile, Su Gu, because he had presented a good gift, was rewarded. Before the king could offer him any possible benefits, Su Gu proposed to have an unclaimed slave. After some astonishment, the Luoye City king still agreed.

“What was the reason for the Quicksand Beast’s madness? Did you find out?” Shao Xuan asked.

“From what I heard from the oasis guards who looked for the suspicious characters, it might be those from White Rock City who made the Quicksand Beast crazy. Su Lei’s slaves were disturbed when they were hunting and trapping the Quicksand Beast. They really thought they would fail and have heavy losses. But, as father said, a failure is a failure. There is no excuse, so he had Su Lei reflect this time.”

“Was it related to Dao Yu?” Shao Xuan asked.

“I don’t know.” Frankly, Su Gu’s own hands and manpower were limited, so he could not find out more.

“However, the weakness of the Quicksand Beast that you talked about made father really happy. If you did not know the weakness of the beast, we will have to worry about the White Rock people doing another trouble like this with a crazy sand beast. But now that we know, father was instead hoping for a few to appear so that we can kill more. Father will have clothes made with the Quicksand Beast, and a new crown.” The smile on Su Gu’s face as he said this was bigger. “Father agreed to let me follow him, so I could improve more. I had not done that except when I was young.”

Because he had no slaves of his own, Su Gu had been excluded from the big events. The desert has an annual tournament at a Colosseum where the first young master, Su Ka and second young master, Su Lei had taken a number of their bouts. Now, Su Gu also got such an opportunity.

“I also told him about your proposal, and you’ll go with me,” said Su Gu.

This was a good news for Shao Xuan.

“Did you pick a slave?” Shao Xuan asked.

“My father has allowed me to pick out twenty of them. I had already chosen some slaves, and he said that we’re still waiting for the next batch of slaves to come to let me continue picking.” Su Gu said excitedly.

“Have you done the slavery on them?” Shao Xuan asked.

When it came to the enslavement, Su Gu’s excitement slightly fell. “I tried to enslave three, but only succeeded on one.”

If slavery failed, Shao Xuan knew what would happen, so he didn’t ask what happened to the other two.

Su Gu’s face was filled with ridicule. But one would not know if it was self-deprecating or taunting others. “I’ll tell you. When I went to pick the slaves, those slaves were like they were already seeing their death, like the ones that I picked will die. But when Su Ka appeared, those people seemed to have seen hope.”

The witnesses knew that the third young master was dissatified with those slaves’ reactions, but he should accept the reality. Although he had one success out of three, compared to other people with nearly ninety percent success rate, he was obviously lacking.

“I’ll practice it again.” Su Gu began to spontaneously mobilize the strength of his body, stretching out the palm of his has as the blue flames appeared.

Shao Xuan looked at Su Gu who had entered into his training state. He did not disturb him, and instead observed the flames in his mind again. There was a flame that belonged Su Gu, with the boundary between the red and the blue flames was already very clear. The two flames gathered together, intertwining while Su Gu was in training of enslavement. Among the flames, the blue one was unusually active.

As Su Gu could get benefit from Shao Xuan here, Shao Xuan could actually also get benefit. The most direct reaction was that tgere were more blue flames rising fron the totem belonging to the Flaming Horns tribe in his mind.

After half a day, at the end of his practice, Su Gu felt that his power of slavery had improved. He believed that today, when he went back to his slavery, he could be more fluent, and could successfully enslave more people.

“After being shackled, was the slave’s ascension limited?” Shao Xuan asked.

“That’s basically the case.” Su Gu replied.

“Was there a special case?”

“It is said that there are some, but it was very little. People who can break through the shackles was certainly very scary.”

After Su Gu left, Shao Xuan mobilized the power of the totem in his body. The dark flame-like pattern was now over two-thirds of his forearm, closer to his wrist. Before leaving the tribe, the totem lines on Shao Xuan’s arm showed that there was not so much, but after his experiences in the rain tribe and the things here, his totem lines went one step further.

For a totem warrior of the Flaming Horns tribe, the display of the totem lines was the most direct proof of their strength. A warrior with the totem lines on the arm reaching over the elbow belonged to the intermediate rank, while ones closer to the wrist showed that one was closer to being a senior totem warrior.

“Ah-Xuan, there were changes in the other tribes!” Tuo exclaimed.

Shao Xuan’s group always paid attention to the movements of the other tribes in the city. Some time ago, these tribes were occasionally going out of town. They said it was to go to the desert for experience, then they would come back every few days. However, this time, it looked more dynamic.

“Those people are leaving in succession.” Lei told his day’s findings to Shao Xuan. “Yesterday, the people who were away from the city came back, and they were packing their things. Then, I saw someone in the process of making new stone tools. I thought it was time to travel back, but in fact, it was not so. Today, the Tian Shan and the Thousand Masks tribes went away from the city. The other tribes seem to be preparing to leave too. I heard that the Hui tribe would also be out of the city for two days. Not to go back, but to go to the desert. Ah-Xuan, tell us. Where are they going?”

If they wanted to end this journey and go back to their tribes, they would surely inform the people of the Flaming Horns tribe. Where the hell were these guys going then?

What was going on in the desert lately?

After some time, Shao Xuan could only think of one thing—the Beast City

The annual feast of the slave owners, where the great slave owners who were willing to attend would take their people to the city to battle. The rest of the tribes might want to take this opportunity to find something that might have something to do with what those people were hiding.

Shao Xuan thought about it, then spoke to Lei and Tuo. “No matter how the other tribes are arranged things, we have to prepare ourselves. After the Luoye City King’s birthday, we have to go to Beast City.”

Note: Changed Chi Shi to Ai Shi. I think the former doesn’t match his personality? Does that makes sense?
