C341 – Tribe Survival
Posted on March 11, 2019 by AzureOrchid92
Shao Xuan still wanted to ask more, but Shi Shu was unwilling to talk. “You go. We still have something so we’ll stay here. Our people are approaching, do if you want to fight using these bugs, then you can. Of course, if you want to know more, you can go to Rock Tomb City to find me.”
Shao Xuan quickly judged the situation and decided to withdraw first.
“Let’s go,” he said to the big beetle at his foot.
The blue beetle immediately opened a path and, everywhere it pa.s.sed, the swarm spontaneously separated.
Upon seeing this situation, Shi Shu had his eyes flash, thinking.
When Shao Xuan left the area and could not see Shi Shu and the rest, he let Sapphire forage with its insect herd, while he himself rushed to the place he had agreed with Lei and Tuo.
As for Shi Shu’s words, Shao Xuan did not believe it all, but knew that there should really be three points.
After Shao Xuan left, the cloaked person man asked Shi Shu with concern, “Aren’t you afraid that he will tell about our affairs to the slave owners of the other cities?”
“He won’t.” Shi Shu thought that Shao Xuan was smart enough to decide to not mix with those and would certainly not reveal more to others. Even if it was revealed, at this time, the trend has been set.
“What if he chose to be involved himself?” The cloaked man was still not at ease.
“If he’s involved, it would not be a good thing to work with such a man,” he added.
As they were speaking, the palace was thoroughly collapsed. A lizard wearing thick scales crawled out. It was not too big, but very flexible. It came to Shi Shu, opened its mouth, and spat out something it had swallowed.
A dead man covered in lizard gastric juice appeared on the sand. It was the dead Dao Yu.
Unlike his appearance when he just died, Dao Yu at the moment looked like he had shed blood, then withered a lot because the body has cracked out wounds that you completely could not see its original appearance. Fortunately, although the lizard swallowed it into its stomach, basically, it was not digested. The flesh and bones were still there, just that some looked shrinked.
When the cloaked person saw Dao Yu then, she dismissed it but asked Shi Shu, “Brother, although he became like this, can we still use it?”
“Of course we can.” Shi Shu was still looking at Dao Yu’s dead body. “When you are not obedient when you are alive, you can only be used dead.”
In fact, with Dao Yu breaking through his shackles, he was not far from death. It was just that the presence of Shao Xuan brought him to an earlier death.
This cloaked person had already been monitoring Dao Yu. She was actually inside the palace, near another exit, trying to stay away from the seed.Then, she followed her beast outside and buried her body in the sand dunes.
While waiting for the end of Dao Yu and Shao Xuan’s fight, she had wanted to go to help, but she became aware of Dao Yu breaking through. Instead of going up to help, she ran out, called her beast and had it trample the underground palace. She thought of killing Shao Xuan and then taking Dao Yu’s body, but unsurprisingly, Shao Xuan was too strong, and then there were those bugs.
“I don’t sense the seed here.” The cloaked man frowned.
“It must have been taken away by the boy just now.” Shi Shu said.
“No way! I didn’t feel the seed on him just now.” The man with the cloak could not believe it. However, he saw the look on Shi Shu and knew that it was highly likely.
“Why don’t you send someone to kill that kid?” The cloaked person asked.
“If there is no absolute certainty, at this time, it’s better not to take too much risks. Those tribesmen wouldn’t care about anything when they fight for their lives. Only a few can be lured by their interests.”
Once he saw that a few birds had already flown over in the air, Shi Shu said, “I’ll go back first. I believe that the Snowfield City has already gone to war against Fire Hill City.”
“Then, do I have to stay and observe at Baishi?” The cloaked figure asked.
“No. You go and tell Su Lun to go to Baishi City.”
The man who came over with the bird, wrapped Dao Yu’s body in a cloth, put it in a long wooden box, and then followed Shi Shu and left.
As for Shao Xuan taking away the seed, he’d rather finish the issue in the desert first. At the moment, they have no intention of looking for it.
How much can a tribesman who had never come into contact with this new thing think? Even the tribesmen who often came to the desert to “rob” and take home only some ore, did not know that it was this seed that made these ores. Because the tribesmen simply did not know that there was such a seed!
Besides, if the seed was not used properly, genocide was possible. Tribesmen were so stupid. How could they think of the right way to use that seed?
Thinking at this point, the cloaked person would not worry and went towards the direction of Luoye City.
Shi Shu also put his main focus on the desert war. This time, whether the plan of Rock Tomb City for three generations could be successful, whether the city could unify the desert, depended on this big storm.
However, what they didn’t know was that Shao Xuan was not their average tribeman.
As for the use of the seed, Shao Xuan has even guessed most of it. The rest would only take time to prove his speculation.
With the seed, Shao Xuan rushed to the place where Lei and Tuo were.
The two men were anxious when Shao Xuan saw them.
“Ah-Xuan, you’re finally here!”
Seeing that Shao Xuan was safe, Lei and Tuo was able to put down the fear in their hearts.
“These days, there are always slaves entering the desert. Ah Xuan, is there going to be a fight in the desert?” Tuo asked.
“Well, it’s already started. What kind of team did you see with the slaves entering the desert during this time?” Shao Xuan asked the two to elaborate.
Listening to the words of the two men, Shao Xuan found that a small part of the slaves were from other cities, but most of them might be Shi Shu’s people! Remembering the buildings and the growing number of slaves that he had seen the first time he had come looking for the people of the Flaming Horns, he thought that it might be to raise soldiers.
Shao Xuan knew only that place, but did not know if there were similar other places, perhaps more.
He had no more to ask, hence, Shao Xuan took out a piece of cloth, holding a charcoal as pen above it.
Lei and Tuo had experienced this a lot. When they saw Shao Xuan had began to write, they immediately guarded around the area.
After Shao Xuan had written well, he rolled the cloth carefully, then handed it together with the skin bag with the seed to Lei and Tuo. “You will leave right now, leave the desert. This animal skin bag contains something very important! Do not open it privately, and it must be brought to the tribe, to the Shaman. Let the Shaman look at the content on the bag. But remember to have him read about the content on the bag first! Don’t open it until he had read it! Moreover, this matter should not be known to others, the people of our tribe included. As to how the Shaman decided what to do with it after looking at the content of the bag, I do not care. If you can’t take this thing back, hide it first or throw it away. You can’t let anyone know you’re carrying this!”
Seeing Shao Xuan’s serious face, Lei and Tuo seriously remembered Shao Xuan’s reminders. “Ah-Xuan you rest a.s.sured that even if we die, we will not let others know!”
But as he spoke, the two men always felt that something was wrong.
“Hey! Ah-Xuan, you’re not leaving with us?!” The hearts that the two men had just calmed down were now beating up.
Shao Xuan shook his head. “You go first. I still have things to do.”
“What else is going on? Is it important?” When they heard Shao Xuan say thst he’d stay in the desert, the two people were anxious.
“It’s important!”
“How important is it?”
“It’s about the survival of the tribe.”
“…” The two men could not utter a reply.
After telling Lei and Tuo, Shao Xuan also had to persuade Chacha. This one had a temper.
After he had convinced these people and bird hard, Shao Xuan looked at the sky. He pulled out a cloth rope, then lifted his hands to point to a direction. “You should go that way. It may be safer.”
“Ah-Xuan, after we sent this thing back, if you have not returned to the tribe, we will come to see you.” Tuo said.
Whatever else Shao Xuan wanted to say, the two men had already jumped on the back of the eagle and flew up into the sky.
Watching the eagle in the sky leave in the direction he pointed, Shao Xuan rested on the stone for a while, then turned back deep into the desert.
Aww.. I already miss Ceasar and now, Chacha too. When will Ah-Xuan return?
