Chapter 335 (2/2)

Shao Xuan lied down on the ground quickly. He pulled his hood up and looked towards the direction of the sound.

The soft sound could hardly be heard in the desert. It sounded like stones rolling gently as though the person who made the sound was cautious about something.

Shao Xuan lied there patiently and stared at the direction of the sound.

The surrounding sand blew and covered Shao Xuan’s body rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, Shao Xuan noticed that there was a gap in between two dunes, causing the sand around to recede.

The crack kept enlarging until it could fit a human body. Right then, Shao Xuan saw a person running out from inside. The person looked around alertly, made sure everything was clear before he beckoned.

Shao Xuan saw a person being transported out from the crack. It seemed like someone from beneath was helping the person move the body. But as soon as the unconscious person was transported out, the crack closed behind them.

The person that first came out looked around before dragging the unconscious person away.

Shao Xuan thought about it and with the help of the sand ridges, he moved forward. He couldn’t follow closely, but he could at least tell where they were going.

The person walked for a while before moving to the back of a hill. He started to dig a hole with his bare hands and pushed the unconscious person inside. Before burying the person, he even stripped the person’s clothes off. He measured on his own body and it seemed like he wanted to keep the clothes for himself.

He tidied the clothes he took and covered the hole with sand. Before leaving the place, he looked around to make sure no one saw him.

Shao Xuan watched him return to where he came from. He removed the sand that covered a slate before knocking on it.

The slate moved and he said something to the person below before making his way down.

Everything was back to normal as the slate closed again. The wind blew, causing sand to cover the place again, leaving no traces behind.

Shao Xuan marked down that place and walked towards the location where the man was buried. He brushed the sand off and saw the buried person.

Shao Xuan failed to identify the man since he was dragged on the ground with his face down. Nevertheless, Shao Xuan noticed that the man had a lot of necrosis wounds on his face and body. Blood covered his face and body, he looked terrifying.

Shao Xuan wasn’t able to identify the cause of the injuries and no tattoos were found on his face. Without those necrosis injuries, he should have been someone that was tall and muscular. He would have been a decent labourer even as a low-class slave.

What was underneath that place? Shao Xuan was curious. If Dao Yu was here, what was his motive?

Shao Xuan waited, seeking for an opportunity.

Shao Xuan continued to hide behind the sand ridge until the next day. A layer of sand covered his body and it was scorching hot under the sun. However, this didn’t affect him. He continued to keep an eye on the place until he heard something.

Soon enough, a crack opened again. Another person came out, but it was not the same person that appeared yesterday, although they were doing the same thing.

The person dragged another unconscious person out and ran far away to bury the man. When he was about to dig a hole, Shao Xuan showed up suddenly which shocked him. Shao Xuan strangled him and broke his two arms before he had the chance to say anything.
