C322 – Attack

Posted on December 19, 2018 by AzureOrchid92

Recently, in the Luoye City station, the slaves who take care of the fighting beasts found something wrong with the insects in the beasts’ pen. Those who specialize on beasts were considered to be very experienced and they were familiar with the bugs that often appear in the animal pen to clean up the debris, but this time, the insects’ movements made them scratch their heads.

Some days ago, they all started to disappeared. They didn’t care about that, but then, the waste in the pen decreased, while the insects increased. Often, they could see the small beetles active in the animal pen. In this respect, the slaves were very happy as they didn’t have to deal with the waste, which was easier for them. Sometimes they could even find a few huge dung balls. However, the situation did not last long, and then it changed again.

The waste in the animal pen has become more and more, but the beetles, which were active before decreased, and the change continued.

Where the hell were the beetles going? The slaves who cleaned the beasts’ pen were baffled.

In one of the animal pens, two slaves had just cleaning up the waste inside and sat next to the animal pen to rest.

“How is it that I feel that these wastes are increasing?” A slave complained.

“I think it might be because the Colosseum is about to open and there are more things they could feed themselves these days from those fighting beasts.” The other slave sighed.

They could only complain privately when the slave owners were not paying attention.

“Well, the last two days, these bugs started decreasing, right?” one asked. He then saw a beetle crawling past his feet, so he stretched his legs, kicking it with his feet.

“I know. They might also have gone underground for the winter. Whatever it is, we just have to look after the fighting beasts.”

“That’s so… Ah, Oh!” The slave who was playing with the kicked beetle suddenly screamed.

“What’s the matter?” The othet one was startled by the sound of his companion.

The slave, who had just called out, bent his leg and looked at his feet. His shabby shoes, made of coarse cloth and grassin the front-ends was now broken with a big hole and his toes were all out. Originally, he did not care as he usually wear nothing. However, just then, when he stretched his foot to kick the beetle, he felt a bit itchy.

“I don’t know if it was bitten or scratched.” The slave said.

“Must have been scratched a bit. These insects eat rubbish, how can they bite?” The other didn’t care. They have been in the animal pen for so many years, have been with these insects for a long time, and have never been bitten before.

“Oh, it’s even bleeding.”

“It’s all right. The bug just scratched it.”

The two slaves didn’t care. The slaves who were busy with the other beasts were not careful to observe the changes of the beetles in the pen either so they didn’t realize that the increasingly bizarre beetles were gradually abandoning those wastes and turning to other foods.

On the other hand, Shao Xuan sent a person to Su Gu to give a message that he just left the Luoye City station.

Shao Xuan has the pass token here, so he could freely access the station. Although he couldn’t go into the Beast City, the other places were still available.

He was going on a trip. Even though there’s a chance that he might meet people from Baishi, he decided to take a risk. The other side was very calm. Perhaps they also did an investigation on Shao Xuan’s group, but Shao Xuan only knew very little about them. Since the other side wouldn’t take the initiative, Shao Xuan decided to take a step, trying to gauge the other’s reaction to help speculate on their intentions.

As for Su Gu in the beast pen, after he had heard the news the slave reported, he didn’t have the heart to continue checking the scorpion beast.

“Where did he go?” Su Gu asked the slave who came forward to report.

“He didn’t say where… Just going out for a walk.” The slave trembled.

“He must have gone to Baishi!” Su Gu exclaimed. He didn’t expect that Shao Xuan would let him rest assured yesterday, but today, to so quickly run off. He also counted on Shao Xuan to help him a few more times, but he couldn’t be slaughtered by the Baishi people so early.

As Shao Xuan left, he rode on Chacha’s back. First, they flew around the Luoye City station for a few laps to familiarize themselves with the terrain. Chacha was well aware of this already, but Shao Xuan himself has to take a look.

After looking around in a circle, Shao Xuan had Chacha head to the direction of the Baishi City station. As they drew closer, they became more cautious.

Seeing the Baishi station, Shao Xuan let Chacha temporarily stop moving forward to hover in place.

A shadow flew from the Baishi station.

It was a bird. Its figure was slightly bigger than Chacha, but didn’t look as strong as Chacha. However, its speed from the start of take-off has been very fast, flying towards Shao Xuan’s side with people on its back.

A chill suddenly rose on his back, hence Shao Xuan pulled back hastily.

“Go!” Shao Xuan patted Chacha, motioning it to withdraw.

Suddenly, several other shadows appeared around.

They were appearing from beneath the ground. There were some undulating dunes around them, and the group should have dugged out hidden from inside these dunes.

One, two, three…… Five…… Ten!

Altogether, ten birds took off from the ground and encircled them.

Fortunately, Shao Xuan did not let Chacha move closer to the Baishi station and they were able withdraw quickly, not being surrounded therein.

Shao Xuan kept his body low, paying attention to the surrounding chasers. These people were deliberately waiting for him, probably since they only grabbed Lei and Tuo, and already knew about him, so they just waited at their own door.

The chill in his heart rose again. This time, it was more intense, and Shao Xuan had a sense of being locked on.

Swish-

An arrow broke the wind. It was from the man who had shot from the back of the bird that had come up from dunes in the station.

If it was an average person, their main target would be Chacha’s body, but that wasn’t the case with this side. Their goal was directed at Shao Xuan!

Shao Xuan, after perceiving the threat, motioned Chacha to avoid the flash. He pulled out his knife and guarded against it.

The arrow had almost grazed his arm. The wind that passed through his body like a stirring storm caused him pain and the accompanying arrow torn through a hole in his sleeve.

Although it was just through his sleeves and not even a direct contact on the skin in his arm, if Shao Xuan now lifted up his sleeves to take a look, he would certainly find that there was a scratch. The skin might even be broken a little and bleed.

While avoiding, Shao Xuan quickly looked at the pursuers behind him.

Although the hit passed him by, Shao Xuan felt that the pursuer behind that just shot that out with absolute killing intent was Dao Yu!

The prejudgment of the target behavior as well as the decisiveness of the shot proved that it was done by a shrewd hunter, a killer who had hunted countless prey. The arrows were shot more strongly which was definitely not the bow and arrow of the Tian shan tribe, but of even higher calibre.

In addition to Dao Yu, the other pursuers were also carrying bows, aiming them at the Chacha.

Chacha needed to constantly avoid those shot over arrows. Fortunately, those who shot the arrows, regardless of the strength, speed and accuracy, were not as good as Dao Yu. Otherwise, Chacha might not be able to successfully avoid the hits.

Even if he had to face Dao Yu alone Yu, Shao Xuan felt quite pressured. Not to mention that the other side chasing him consisted of ten people.

The second arrow flew straight at Shao Xuan’s back.

Shao Xuan’s wrist moved and his knife slightly veered off.

Clang!

After contact with the knife’s blade, the arrow went in another direction because of the angle of the blade.

Shao Xuan could clearly feel the arrow tip coming in contact with the stone knife at that moment, the knife chipping stone crumbs. The wrist of his hand holding the knife felt the shock of the impact that his hand was still aching with pain afterwards.

No! That strong of an attack single-handedly shot by Dao Yu should also be to the degree of a senior totem warrior!

How long ago has it been? From his betrayal of the Flaming Horns tribe until now has only been more than ten years. Dao Yu was just a wanderer then, but now, unexpectedly he could ascend so fast! Even if the totem warriors in the tribe had the help of the fire crystals with the fire seed as it re-ignited in the old haunt, there were very few people that could reach this speed of ascension.

Dao Yu still had his third arrow poised, but just looked at the figure moving farther away in front of them. The other had their bows down and stopped attacking. Releasing another shot was a waste of arrows. Each of these arrows were manufactured from precious supplies, hence, they didn’t want to waste them at such times.

When the arrows were put down, Dao Yu standing behind an eagle also stopped and no longer chased.

“We won’t chase them?” Someone asked.

“A man of such gall, why bother.” Another replied.

“It’s such a pity that we did not catch him. We would have had the three people of the Flaming Horns tribe together then, which is better. It would be very interesting.” The person laughing glanced slyly at Dao Yu’s face. Seeing that Dao Yu seemed to be in a good mood, he asked, “How do you feel?”

Even though there were similarly slaves, their level was not equal to Dao Yu’s. If one would have to be specific, they have to work under the control of Dao Yu, therefore, in the case that Dao Yu ordered them to wait in ambush here, even if they were frozen outside for a day, they dare not voice out their complaints aside from only saying it in their hearts. They were clear that if the other was offended, they could not see the sun of tomorrow.

To have fled their range of pursuit, Dao Yu’s evaluation of Shao Xuan was still an understatement of “so-so”. His tone was its usual and would not reveal his arrogance and pride. But what about the rest of the totem warriors? Still not suppressed by his wanderers?

As for Shao Xuan, in fact, Dao Yu did not have detailed information. He only knew that the two people they caught seemed to listen to Shao Xuan’s orders. Seeing Shao Xuan’s age, he believed more that Shao Xuan was a descendant of the tribe’s chief, like what the other tribes thought.

“Look for someone to observe at the Luoye station to look into the movements of that child.” Dao Yu ordered.

“Yes.” The man next to him answered quickly.

“Are you worried he’s going to find someone from another tribe to help?” Someone asked.

Dao Yu showed a contemptuous smile. “People from the other tribes? In addition to the few who were caught, the others are also busy. Can they give attention to the three people from the Flaming Horns? As for their tribe, it was too far away so it’s too late to ask for help. The few who are caught are just waiting for their deaths.”

“What if the escaped young man rushed to the Colosseum?” One of them asked.

“That would be better.” Dao Yu’s smile deepened. In the Colosseum, the battle was between life and death. One could be put in a fight with a beast in the Colosseum, so which one would be good to deal with? Even when he went to the Colosseum last year, he made all kinds of preparations ahead of time. His strength was comparable to that of a senior totem warrior of a tribe, but he still paid a price. Therefore, how could those with the strength of just an intermediate totem warrior escape?

You’ll see Dao Yu. You’ll see. *evil grin*

Kind of a cliff, right? I was planning to edit a few chapters first, then upload them all at the same time. But then I realized, that’s more tiring for me. Therefore, let’s all enjoy the cliff.. or cliffs. I haven’t read the next chapters yet, so I don’t know.
