Chapter 339 (2/2)

Shao Xuan looked at the human and the beast not too far away from him. He had not seen such a beast in Beast Battle City but he could tell it had been enslaved. And its master was the woman in the cloak.

His opponent’s sword reflected blinding light under the sun. SHe did not attack, merely stood her ground.

She was standing on a sand dune and Shao Xuan was positioned lower than her. That was why, when she looked at him, she was also looking down.

The beast horizontally parked itself in front of Shao Xuan, shaking its muscular hooves as it waiting for the next order from its master to stomp once again. However, its next target was no longer the chamber, it would be the small and insignificant Shao Xuan.

He cocked an eyebrow when he heard a fast approaching rumble, which was coming from behind him.

Rattle rattle! Rattle rattle!

Behind the sand dune, a gigantic snakehead emerged.

The snake slithered over the dune and headed towards Shao Xuan. It did not approach, stopping fifty meters away.

The rattle sound came from its shaking tail.

However, Shao Xuan was focused on the person standing on its head, not the snake.

“Shi Shu?” He did not expect to meet Shi Shu here.

“We meet again!” Shi Shu’s tone sounded like they were friends who hadn’t seen each other in a while. If it weren’t for the current situation, it would have sounded like two friends meeting up.

This person does not bear good intentions, thought Shao Xuan.

“Why are you here?” asked Shao Xuan.

“Just for a slave,” said Shi Shu very casually, as if it was not important.

“Dao Yu?” Shao Xuan’s heart clenched. “Dao Yu works for you?”

“Not really.”

“He’s dead,” said Shao Xuan.

“It’s better that way, I want him dead.” Shi Shu seemed to prefer a dead Dao Yu. “Dead people are more obedient.”

Then, he suddenly changed the topic as if they were having a friendly chat. “But, since we meet her, why not join us?”

“And if I don’t?” Shao Xuan looked towards Shi Shu, keeping an eye on the woman in the cloak in his peripheral vision in case she attacked.

“You’re refusing my offer?” It sounded like a simple question, there was no resentment in it.

Shao Xuan was surrounded by two enemies with two beasts. He was not in an advantageous position at all.

Shao Xuan did not speak but the rest did not either, as if waiting for his response.

Suddenly, Shao Xuan smiled and broke the tense silence.

“I refuse.”

Shi Shu was about to speak when his eye caught something. He peered closer.

Something blue had burrowed out of the sand by Shao Xuan’s feet.

It was a beetle.

Then, rustle rustle rustle---

Tiny, black beetles emerged from beneath the sand, gushing out like water.
