Chapter 341 (2/2)

Then again, if one did not use the core seed properly, it could destroy an entire tribe. The tribesmen were stupid, how could they think of the right method to use the core seed?

When she thought of this, the person in the cloak was no longer worried. She headed towards the Fallen Leaves City.

Shi Shu also focused his attention on the war in the desert. At this point, this war would determine if Rock Hill City’s plans spanning three generations would succeed---to unify the entire desert.

However, they did not know that Shao Xuan was no ordinary tribesman.

Shao Xuan had already guessed most of the core seed’s functions. All he needed was time to confirm his speculations.

He brought the core seed with him as he hurried towards were Lei and Tuo were.

When he saw them, they were in the middle of panicking.

“Ah-Xuan, you’re finally here!”

Seeing that he was safe, Lei and Tuo could finally relax.

“Many slaves have been entering the desert recently. Ah-Xuan, is there going to be war in the desert?” asked Tuo.

“Yeah, it has begun. The slaves you saw entering the desert, how do the troops look like?” Shao Xuan asked for details.

As he listened to them, he realised only a small portion of slaves were from other cities- most of them were likely Shi Shu’s men! He thought of the place he met Yan Shuo where there were buildings and an increasing number of slaves- that might’ve been the place he was ‘raising’ the troops.

Shao Xuan only knew of one. Perhaps he had more sites like that.

Without a word, he produced a piece of cloth and wrote quickly on it using a charcoal pencil he had brought with him.

Lei and Tuo were used to this. Once he started writing, they automatically went to keep watch.

When he was done writing, he kept the cloth carefully with the leather pouch that contained the core seed and gave them to Lei and Tuo. “Leave immediately, leave the desert. The thing inside this pouch is extremely important! Do not open this on your own, you must bring it to the tribe, give it to the shaman. Let the shaman read the contents on the cloth. Remember, he must read the writing on the cloth first! Do not open before reading it! And, do not let anyone else know of this, including the people of our own tribe. As for the shaman’s decision after reading the cloth, I do not care. If you are unable to get this back to the tribe, then hide it. If you can’t hide it, throw it away. Do not let anyone know you are carrying this with you!”

When they saw his serious expression, Lei and Tuo carefully memorised his instructions. “Ah-Xuan, don’t worry. We won’t let other people know even if we die!”

However, as they spoke, they realised something was off.

“Eh? Ah-Xuan, you’re not leaving with us?” Both of them were worried once again.

He shook his head. “You both go ahead, I have some matters to settle.”

“What else? Is it very important?” They were terrified knowing that Shao Xuan wanted to stay behind in the desert.

“Very important!”

“How important?”

“It involves the survival of our tribe.”

“...” Both of them had nothing to say.

After reminding Lei and Tuo again, he still had to talk to Chacha, who was throwing a tantrum.

When he finally calmed both the humans and the bird, he turned to look at the sky, used a piece of string for some divination, then pointed in a direction. “You both head in that direction, it might be safer.”

“Ah-Xuan, once we deliver this thing, if you’re not back, we will come looking for you,” said Tuo.

Shao Xuan wanted to say something but they’d already hopped unto the eagle’s back and soared across the skies.
