Chapter 342



He had to admit, Shi Shu’s words really made Shao Xuan think a lot. Therefore, this time, Shao Xuan also intended to take advantage of the desert chaos, to find some useful information. After all, it was about the survival of the tribe.

Shi Shu said that “the tribes were going to perish”. It might be true, it might be not.

If what he said was right, there would certainly not be such a noticeable change in just a short period of time. If he can not see any evidence, he can not be sure. It was wrong too to say that Shi Shu was not right. Indeed, there were legends that do have such signs. However, rumors were rumors after all. Shao Xuan could not immediately know what was true. Should he ask people from other tribes? But Shao Xuan was sure that they’re not going to tell the truth.

Once again, he entered into the depths of the desert. When Shao Xuan learned that Shi Shu had provoked the war, his intention was to go to Luoye City first to observe. Besides, with Su Gu’s cooperation, if he could get the information in advance, perhaps it would let him have more preparation and suffer less loss.

However, when Shao Xuan was near Luoye City, he found that the city had sent troops to Baishi City, waging war. The slaves were in neat ranks with their equipments on, which did not at all look like a hasty decision but was more like a long-prepared army.

They had such a quick reaction?

Did they know that Dao Yu was dead? Know that, this time, Baishi City was at its messiest and weakest?

Seeing this did not make Shao Xuan think for long.

Remembering Su Lun’s attitude before, then looking at Luoye City’s too fast reaction, Shao Xuan squinted his eyes at the city’s highest building.

Su Lun was the one who Shi Shu had on this side? Or was it that those two people were working together?

If that’s the case, Shao Xuan didn’t have to worry much about it. No wonder Su Lun kept his composure and was not worried at all when he heard that the desert was going to turn chaotic.

In that case, Shao Xuan also would not show up here. After a moment of observation around Luoye City, he left.

After looking for a place with no people, Shao Xuan called Sapphire over.

Sapphire, in addition to foraging with its insect herd, has been following Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan also have a certain connection with the beetle who could also feel Shao Xuan’s thoughts.

Before long, Shao Xuan saw the blue beetle drilling from under the sand.

Now, the blue beetle stood on the ground, the height of its back reaching Shao Xuan’s knee. The amount of food it had eaten was already large, not to mention that it ate with the insect group. Therefore, Shao Xuan was not surprised as he already guessed that they were also killing and foraging under the sand. Few of the other bugs and small desert beasts hiding under the sand were lucky to escape, but the rest could only be swept by the herd.

He looked around. Combined with Shao Xuan’s knowledge of the places where the cities were located, he knew that they were a certain distance from the other cities, and few people appear in this place.

“Little one,” Shao Xuan crouched to look at the beetle in front of him.

Before it had been enslaved, the beetle was already big, but now, it has grown beyond his expectations.

The blue beetle did not quite understand what Shao Xuan really wanted to do until Shao Xuan reached out and the blue flame came out. Only then did it understand. It excitedly pedaled its hind legs. For a long time, it had never pushed a dung ball, but when it became excited, it still couldn’t help kicking. This was ingrained deep into its bones out of habit.

Shao Xuan decided to remove the second lock from Sapphire. Before, he didn’t feel it was the time and the bug needed enough space to adapt and grow. At the same time, there were too many variables. But now, Shao Xuan found that the bug adapted faster than any other beasts and for a long time, it had changed to eat meat together with so many beetles, rather than pushing a dung ball collectively. So, Shao Xuan decided to give it another unlocking. If this guy developed well, it could also help Shao Xuan.

Not long ago, Sapphire had carried a herd of insects. If there was another period of time, would it develop into a larger wave of insects? Thinking about it still made Shao Xuan a little excited. He’s just not sure if it’s going to go as he thought.

Just as Shao Xuan was lifting the second lock for Sapphire, in Rock Tomb City, inside a two-storey stone house.

Shi Shu has returned with Dao Yu’s body back to the city, then handed it to an old man.

Shao Xuan had once asked Su Gu whether there were “shamans” within the slave owners, and Su Gu’s answer was yes. However, it was extremely rare. After all, by becoming a shaman, one could not be a slave owner. Moreover, the slave owners’ shaman were different from the tribes’ shaman in that they were mostly direct blood descendants and had never enslaved slaves. Hence, there were no shamans in many cities, such as Luoye City.

At this time, the white-haired old man, with his body painted with strange patterns, in front of Shi Shu was a shaman. His elders were also shamans before him, belonging to the Rock Tomb City with a special status for their family which was not less than that of lower slave owners.

The old man was busy dealing with Dao Yu’s body. While he was busy working, he also became amazed.

“Sure enough, for the slaves to break through their shackles, their bones become harder. Very good, very good. If there are more such slaves, it would be better.”

Quietly sitting on the sidelines and looking, Shi Shu suddenly said, “Great Shaman, what can you say about enslaving a few bugs?”

The busy old man was pulling out the viscera from Dao Yu’s body, thinking about where to find more powerful slaves. Suddenly, he heard Shi Shu say those words, making him shocked that his hands shook a little.

“You’re messing around!” After the old man finished, he felt that his tone was too much, talking in the face of this person. Shi Shu was not his direct junior or subordinate, so he slowed down his tone as he advised, “Young master, how can you enslave those kinds of weak things like bugs? An ordinary beast was already low, those little bugs are the lowest of all!”

The old man looked agitated, spitting across a lot of things. He meant to have Shi Shu choose powerful slaves, such as those desert monsters, like quicksand giant lizards and others of its kind. He could even tempt some tribesmen into the desert as slaves, then say some things that have hold on these people. What use is a bug then? That’s the way down. Only those who couldn’t would play with bugs. That’s absolutely not the case for Shi Shu!

If the old man was in front of his direct junior or subordinate, he would probably speak more directly, but this Shi Shu was a young master. The old man was against it, making him emotional and agitated, but he still had to weigh his words more.

Fortunately, Shi Shu still valued the old man. When the old man said something, he could still listen to it. No matter what his heart thought, at least in front of this person, he would humbly listen.

“It’s not good to enslave bugs?” Shi Shu asked.

“Yes, it’s not good!” The old man affirmed.

“Bugs are the lowest of the low?” Shi Shu asked again.

“Yes, there is no question about their status!” The old man was so earnest.

“Is it really impossible to enslave one?”

“Please, I’ll ask you, young master, to think again of other possible slaves!”

The old man threw the things in his hands in the container next to him. Afterwards, he did not care to wipe his hand, focusing on persuading Shi Shu seriously. He hoped that this young master could throw this bad idea away.

Shi Shu looked at the old man bowing in front of him. This person was good and had enough ability, otherwise, his grandfather, father and himself would not have valued him extremely. However, he was a little too stubborn. When he was determined about something, regardless of anything else, he would not change his mind. He just didn’t expect that when he mentioned the bugs, the old man’s reaction was going to be this intense.

Therefore, Shi Shu did not say more and just sighed, “I see!” He did not say anything about Shao Xuan’s bugs. It was useless and would only let the old shaman say more, wasting a lot of his breath.

When the old shaman heard Shi Shu’s words, his heart that was down now relaxed. He has always disdained those small things that could be crushed to death by a finger, especially those who did not have wisdom.

Satisfied that he had advised the young master successfully, the old man turned straight up to continue his work. He applied a drug to the body that has almost been treated completely, then place it in a room. After waiting for the medicine to dry, he wrapped it in a cloth, then placed it in a wooden coffin.

From the beginning, starting from Shi Shu’s grandfather’s time, he had collected the bodies of the dead high-level slaves and wrapped them into cloths. This was a kind of secret ritual obtained by the study of several generations of shamans.

Nowadays, there were already thousands of slave corpses in the palace underground area, which would be used when the war broke out, if there was an urgent need for reinforcements. This was also a key in Shi Shu’s hands that was not known to outsiders.

“By the way, young master, the tribeman you said that has potential, will he really come over?” The old man asked.

“I’m sure he will come.” Shi Shu was very confident about this. “If he did not come to find me, who can he look for?”

Satisfied that he had dug a pit and the other person would just jump in, Shi Shu completely did not expect that Shao Xuan had no intention of directly going to Rock Tomb City, but to another city.

I can’t seem to stick to my scheduled time of chapter release, so I’ll just say every Mondays and Fridays (GMT +8).
