Chapter 348 (1/2)

The Third Chain

After Shao Xuan escaped from the Snow Plains City, he recalled the maps that he had seen in the stone room. He did not plan to go to any of the cities in the desert. None were now peaceful. Plus, the slave masters would never treat tribesmen nicely- even for Su Lun, he functioned on his own agenda.

Thus, Shao Xuan’s current route did not lead to any city managed by the slave masters. He tried to stay away from trouble.

Shao Xuan’s initial plan was to go to the coast and have a look. His planned route would lead to the nearest sea from Snow Plains City. However, when he noticed there were people chasing behind, he could only put aside his plan and run.

There were two hundred Golden Armours chasing after him. To deal with them, he had to beat them up one by one. But the Golden Armours did not act separately, probably knowing their own weaknesses, they were moving as a whole group, which made Shao Xuan hardly find a chance to take action.

What was more, he could feel that the golden-armoured soldiers were like fearless martyrs and would keep hunting him until they accomplished their mission.

If only there was a way to deal with those silknoses, at least the soldiers would not be so close to his heel. But these silknoses were smart, they stayed close to the soldiers. When they sensed any threat, they would slip in between the troops to hide.

This was tough, really tough.

Ever since he entered the desert, this was his first time being hunted so ruthlessly. He ran fast, but the silknoses were always able to locate him accurately. He made a dummy and dressed it in his clothes, then applied other smells to his body. But no matter how hard he tried, he still could not get rid of the silknoses.

No wonder the blind old slave said, one could hardly escape once being noticed by the silknoses.

Unable to think of any good solution for now, Shao Xuan could only use his advantage in speed as a temporary solution.

Shao Xuan thought of taking these Golden Armours to other cities so that they fight and kill each other. However, before he led them over, he encountered two troops from Shaqi City and Sky Wheel City fighting fiercely. To his surprise, the three troops met and instead of fighting against each other, they joined up to chase after Shao Xuan.

This worried Shao Xuan even more.

Two troops which had been fighting fiercely had stopped to join the Golden Army in chasing after him! They thought that if the Snow Plains City could send the Golden Army to hunt down a person, he must be special.

How was he special? Maybe he stole something precious from the Snow Plains City?

Both sides wanted to take advantage of this situation. The people from Shaqi City and Sky Wheel City stopped fighting and tried to catch the man who might be carrying a treasure, so that they could go back to the Lord for a reward.

Stepping on the hot sand under his feet, Shao Xuan came to the shade on the back of a dune for a rest. He didn't have much time.

Shh---Shh---

A great amount of sand streamed down from the dune.

Shao Xuan took a cautious peek. He had been keeping his breathing as silent as he could, and even when he was resting, he did not make much noise. Unfortunately, he sometimes could not detect desert beasts. They hid very well under the sand, and during the course of his escape, he nearly stepped on some snakes and scorpions hidden in the sand.

Currently, the creature climbing out of the dunes was not a small beast, it was a big one.

Shao Xuan retreated once he felt a movement in the sand.

Pff---

The giant beast snorted, two sand arrows flew out from its nostrils and pierced into the nearby sand.
