Chapter 305 – The King of all Desert Beasts (1/2)

By the time the Quicksand Beast opened its maw, the Second Young Master’s slaves had already fled to the Oasis, and the leading slave coughed out blood after being kicked by Chi Shi, when he rushed into the Oasis.

*These foolish slaves…they even led the ferocious beast directly towards the Oasis.* Chi Shi clenched his fists. If they were not the slaves of the Second Young Master, Chi Shi would have cut off their heads immediately.

“Oasis guards, prepare yourself!” shouted Chi Shi.

The guards of the Oasis were all staring nervously at the Quicksand beast. They could beat the Quicksand Beast, but every time they fought with those beasts, they ended up paying a heavy price.

On the other side, the Quicksand Beast, which had digested the food that it gobbled up just now, looked in the direction of the Oasis with its golden eyes staring at the people who were guarding the Oasis. Even under such a hot weather, the people being stared at, had the feeling of being in a land of bone chilling wind and icy coldness at the moment.

*This is indeed a fierce beast.* Thought the three people of the Flaming Horn tribe.

The Quicksand Beast, that kept staring at the Oasis, did not move towards them immediately and neither did it pull out the other half of its body which was buried under the sand. Instead, it slowly swayed the exposed half of its body, and also bobbed its head up and down.

The beast was not communicating any intent of agreement or counting the number of people – it was actually showing signs of preparing an attack.

“Watch out!” shouted Chi Shi.

Even though Shao Xuan didn’t know the creature well, he could intuitively judge the situation. Without hesitation, when the Quicksand Beast nodded again, he yelled to remind Lei and Tuo, “Move back!”

Applying pressure on the balls of his feet, Shao Xuan jumped away. A sand arrow shot towards to the position he had just stood on and exploded. The splashing sand sank into people with the sharpness of tens of thousands of knives, and slaves who didn’t avoid them in time screamed miserably.

The sand arrow was nothing but the sand sprayed out by the Quicksand Beast, which it had swallowed along with the slaves just then.

Shao Xuan didn’t worry about Lei and Tuo as they had the wits to act quickly. And Su Gu was protected by Wu Shi.

Stepping behind Su Gu with Lei and Tuo, Shao Xuan asked, “Does this Quicksand Beast have any weaknesses?”

“Weakness…?”, Wu Shi said with some uncertainty, “Generally, we just attack its eyes when facing against the Quicksand Beast.”

Shao Xuan looked at the others and felt helpless. They had to find a way to fight against the Quicksand Beast by themselves.

When people don’t possess the raw power to fight against beasts directly, they have to plan and execute a strategic fight. And when it comes to building strategies, knowing the weaknesses of the target was highly important.

Shao Xuan and the other two were on guard but didn’t actively rush into the fray. They weren’t worried about the beast destroying the Oasis, because it was not in the territory of the Flaming Horn tribe. Moreover, this accident was caused by the slaves of a Fallen Leaves City’s Slave Master and had nothing to do with the Flaming Horn tribe.

Meanwhile, Chi Shi led the slaves to fight against the Quicksand Beast which was attacking the Oasis.
