Chapter 302 – The Most Beautiful Thing in the World (1/2)

After going back to the palace, Su Gu asked the slaves to send some unkilled animals to his chamber every day. He told others that he wanted to cook these animals by himself, but in fact, he was secretly practicing enslavement.

Among his numerous attempts, some succeeded while others failed. As time went by, the success rate of Su Gu’s enslavement was getting higher.

Su Gu fulfilled his end of the deal by providing Shao Xuan with some of the slave master’s information in writing, on a piece of cloth.

Shao Xuan recorded these information on his hide papers, and from this information he also obtained a general idea of the major cities in the desert and the great slave masters of these cities.

On the sixth day, just as Shao Xuan predicted, out of nowhere a sandstorm arrived at the doorsteps of the Fallen Leaves City. Until that moment, there was no sign of it.

Standing in the palace, Su Gu looked at the murky sandstorm that was approaching from the distance. The sandstorm came exactly as Shao Xuan predicted, and Su Gu grew more fearful of the ability of Shamans in the tribes.

People always feared the unknown. In particular, Shaman seldom appeared in the desert cities which were filled with slave masters.

The sandstorm swept through the entire city in an instant. The large grains of sand in the sandstorm were close to the ground, slamming into everything near and on the ground. People who were outside any semblance of shelter would suffer from attacks similar to that of a barrage of piercing needles . Even some creatures which were covered in scales were not willing to suffer such pain – they tried their best to drill under the sand and avoid the attack of the sandstorm.

Sand which weighed less was easily blown by the wind and covered the sky.

The three people of the Flaming Horn tribe, who were long prepared for the sandstorm, stayed inside their residence with the doors and windows closed, and listened to the crashing sound outside.

Outside their residence, the camel “Mud”, with its hair tossed about, stood in the sandstorm facing against the wind. Camels had long gotten adapted to the climate in the desert. They would not be scared by this level of a sandstorm, and some of them were even able to walk freely in such sandstorms.

Hearing the roaring sound of beasts coming from outside, Shao Xuan and the other two rushed out with their weapons.

Some of the beasts, using the sandstorm as cover, had crossed the peripheral walls and broke through the perimeter defense placed within the city.

Were the beasts in the sandstorm dangerous?

Yes.

But for the people of the Flaming Horn tribe, who regularly encountered and fought against fierce beasts that were much more dangerous, facing the sandstorm beasts didn’t scare them at all. They even showed delighted while facing these beasts. Moreover, after catching these sandstorm beasts, they could eat them as food. Even if these beasts only had a little meat, a bone soup would also be a good idea.

If other people knew what was running in the minds of the Flaming Horn tribesmen, they would think that the people of the Flaming Horn tribe were insane.

Shao Xuan and the other two were not catching the sandstorm beasts inattentively. They cooperated well, just like the way they used to hunt in the mountains.

Low visibility? It doesn’t matter. As long as they could hear, they could still differentiate the sound of the sandstorm beasts if they concentrated keenly enough.

Chacha, who finally moved to the residence of the Flaming Horn tribe, also caught some prey.

When the sandstorm ended and the city became peaceful again, everyone in the tribal area saw that there were some dried meat of sandstorm beasts hanging near the residence of the Flaming Horn tribe.

The slaves and the slave masters of the Fallen Leaves City changed their view of the people of Flaming Horn tribe once again – only two words appeared in their mind “fierce” and “voracious”.

On the tenth day, Fallen Leaves City returned to its former state.

People of the other tribes were all busy with their own matters.

Shao Xuan knew that these tribes were concealing something from the Flaming Horn tribe, but he didn’t care about it – he was confident that he would figure it out eventually.

On the day agreed upon by Shao Xuan and Su Gu, Shao Xuan and the other two people were all set for their travel.

This time Shao Xuan did not plan to bring the camel along. Letting the people sent by Su Gu to take care of the camel, Shao Xuan brought Chacha along for the trip. Although the outside was just a long stretch of desert, it was good to bring Chacha out to relieve its boredom.

During these ten days, Su Gu’s enslavement ability had improved a lot. He felt that he was almost able to enslave slaves. However, he would not enslave people in the city until he was completely sure.
