Chapter 340 (2/2)

The only option was to talk to the commander of the insects!

The person in the cloak looked at Shi Shu, then at Shao Xuan, and in the end, she watched the blue beetle at his foot closely.

If only she hadn’t tossed her bow away, if only there was a method to kill that huge blue beetle. What would happen then?

When she was about to test her theory, Shao Xuan looked over.

Their eyes met, the lady’s heart clenched as her eyes flickered towards Shi Shu. Shi Shu shook his head, so she suppressed her thoughts.

This person’s senses were too sharp! If she did not succeed in one move, it would escalate into a fight with this kid. Both sides could end up heavily injured. She definitely did not want to risk her life like this here.

“The situation at the arena, were you the one who triggered it?” said Shi Shu in a low voice.

Many people saw black beetles like this where the beasts were kept but no one thought much about them. To most people, these were merely tiny insects, usually harmless so not much attention was paid.

Shao Xuan did not deny, nor did he admit it. In a mocking tone, he said, “You speak as if you’re innocent. The chaos in the desert, you were the one who started that, no? You sent your men to kill the White Stone Lord, right?”

Shi Shu smiled too. He did not say yes, but he did not deny it either.

“Fine. We shall move on from today. You’re not bad at all, I did not know you had such abilities. But, if you want to look for me, you can come to Rock Hill City.” As he spoke, Shi Shu tossed a golden metal tile at Shao Xuan, there was the emblem of Rock Hill City on it.

He’d initially intended to take the violent route today but the situation had escalated out of his control so he changed his mind. He’d always preferred taking the more beneficial route.

Shao Xuan caught the tile. “I think, I won’t be looking for you. I’ll be returning to the tribe after I leave here, I will not participate in your desert wars.”

Shi Shu was indifferent. “Do you know why Dao Yu chose to be a slave? Why he looked down on tribesmen?”

Shao Xuan merely said, “All I know is that Dao Yu is a traitor, he must be killed.” He did not elaborate, waiting for Shi Shu to speak.

Shi Shu did not mind, trying to sooth the giant snake that was growing irritated by the beetles. “Because the slave masters will grow more powerful, the tribes will soon go extinct.”

Shao Xuan exclaimed incredulously, “Nonsense!” If other tribesmen had heard him, they would have raged.

“I am not lying. Pay attention to the tribes if you do not believe me. Which tribe isn’t getting weaker by the day? People are problems with their powers now, right?”

When he heard this, Shao Xuan immediately thought of the Rain tribe. Yang Sui once said that the Rain tribe’s shaman used to be able to pray for rain but his powers had gradually vanished.

Seeing Shao Xuan’s change in expression made Shi Shu grin with delight. “People have noticed, they just lack the guts to say it out loud.”

Shao Xuan did not speak.

Shi Shu decided to drop another bomb.

“You tribespeople are actually very dumb. The truth is right under your noses, yet none of you will admit this. You’re all stubborn, conservative, stupid! Don’t you know that if you waste more time, it will only worsen? And you’ll all go extinct? Only the Flaming Horn Tribe is smart but merely half-smart. But half of the tribe will also be destroyed.”
