Chapter 332 (1/2)

Changes

The ripples created by the captive beasts were larger than Shao Xuan could ever imagine.

One, Shao Xuan had underestimated Sapphire’s abilities. Second, the timing.

The day of the full moon was when the beasts were the most easily provoked.

The slave masters liked having these angry beasts fight during such a time. To them, the beasts needed to be in this condition so the fights would be interesting enough.

Shao Xuan wondered if they would be traumatised by this group-rage the next time they visited Beast Battle City.

Shao Xuan stood on a tall sand dune, staring out at the Fallen Leaves base far ahead, and then at Beast Battle City far away.

This night, Lei and Tuo had a rare good night’s sleep. When they were held captive, they were constantly on edge and on guard, always keeping watch to protect themselves. Until now. With Shao Xuan and Chacha here, they could finally sleep. They needed good sleep to heal faster.

At midnight, Shao Xuan saw a bird fly into Fallen Leaves City. After a while, a small group of people hurrying towards the base. As he watched them sprint noiselessly, Shao Xuan guessed they were scouts sent out by the Lord of Fallen Leaves City.

Something must have happened for these people to be in such a hurry.

On the next day, Shao Xuan went looking for Su Gu but he did not bring Lei and Tuo. He let them rest in a spot so they could heal properly. He had to first check if there was anyone currently out to kill the three of them- especially Dao Yu. Shao Xuan’s actions in the pit must have attracted Dao Yu’s attention even if other people did not care.

Caution was needed during such chaotic times.

However, Shao Xuan had not expected to receive shocking news from Su Gu.

“The White Stone Lord is dead?!”

“Yeah, someone reported this to us last night. My father told me not to leave the base. But we’re going to leave this place as soon as possible,” said Su Gu, exhausted. In the beginning, he was still curious how Shao Xuan could produce the flame of enslavement. However, after something so huge, one mere tribesman was no longer important. Plus, Su Gu still needed Shao Xuan’s help so he could not upset him too much.

Shao Xuan mulled over what Su Gu just said.

The Lord of White Stone City, a lord of an entire city, was murdered? He was still raging at the arena yesterday, how could he be killed so quickly?”

“Do you know who killed him?” asked Shao Xuan.

Su Gu shook his head, “No.”

“How’s Dao Yu?”

“I don’t know. But I heard that one out of three of the White Stone Lord’s bodyguards was dead.” After a pause, Su Gu continued, “I think the dead one isn’t Dao Yu.”

After the chaos at the arena, plus the assassination of a lord, this event was definitely not going to proceed.

The Snow Plains Lord’s exact words were: “I’ve got something urgent. Whoever who wants to take charge can do his thing, it’s none of my business anymore!”

“What happened, what could make the Snow Plains Lord panic like that?” asked Shao Xuan.

“I heard something very important had gone missing in Snow Plains City,” said Su Gu.

“Something very important?”

“I don’t know what, we’re still listening for news. But, apparently, it’s related to you tribesmen,” said Su Gu.
