Chapter 352 (1/2)

A New World

Shao Xuan swam towards the shore, the sea didn’t have any animal activity from the abnormal changes in the current a few moments ago. As time passed, more sea creatures would reappear in the area.

Shao Xuan wasn’t feeling adventurous.

When he reached the shore, Shao Xuan finally felt a sense of comfort from familiarity of standing on solid ground. Even though he was standing on a stone in the sea, he was still surrounded by seawater and he didn’t feel the steadiness he felt on land. His worries melted away for a moment but his mind was still on alert.

Shao Xuan took a deep breath. The wind carried a mixture of the dry desert scent and the salty smell of the sea. It made him feel like he was reborn. He felt an urge to shout loudly but in this foreign place, any loud noises may bring trouble to him so he could only hold it in.

On higher ground not far from where Shao Xuan was standing, a few camels looked down to the place where Shao Xuan was standing while chewing on cactus flowers.

There were a few of them which had seen humans before but most of them hadn’t since birth so Shao Xuan’s appearance gave them a shock. The peculiar part was that these animals wouldn’t express anything, even shock. If one were to look at them now, they wouldn’t notice any changes in their emotionless faces.

The air was really dry despite being so close to the sea. The heat that radiated from the hot sand and the lifeless and few plants told Shao Xuan it had been a long time since it rained in this area.

This desert was different from the one on the other side of the sea. The beach here wasn’t purely made of sand, it had fine sandstones developed from the dry weather and harsh wind.

In other words, it was more like a mountain here, except that it was near the sea and wasn’t as tall.

The sea level could have been lower a long, long time ago and the long underwater stone path could have been exposed to the air.

The old blind slave in Snow Plains City’s stone archive room once said that the masters came from the sea. Maybe they followed the stone path to get here.

He thought about how he felt when he was underwater and the choice the flame made down there. Shao Xuan thought to himself, Maybe the few tribesmen in Flaming Horn tribe that we lost had walked the same path to come to this land too?

Shao Xuan didn’t feel the presence of a flame so he was unsure whether this land had a fraction of the Flaming Horn tribe members. He didn’t feel discouraged though, a few thousand years had passed- anything could have happened. Shi Shu had said during the period of time when tribes were in danger, Flaming Horn Tribe disappeared because they were looking for a solution to their problems.

Considering the possibilities, Shao Xuan was now looking forward to what surprises this new land would bring.

He enjoyed this change of surroundings, without the pressure he felt in the sea, each cell in his body felt revived. As he felt his strength quickly regaining, he shook his arms and walked along the shore. He didn’t walk far, he hadn’t seen any beasts in this area for now, if he walked inland it would be hard to saw. He needed to regain his strength now, not go looking for battles with beasts.

When he thought about it, Shao Xuan realized he had maintained a vegetarian diet for quite some time, his mouth was itching for meat now. As he looked at the camel, he couldn’t help but think of the image of a camel being roasted whole.
