Chapter 668 Third Eye (2/2)

In the forest, Shao Xuan smelled a bloody stench, and from the smell of the blood, he could tell that it was still fresh. He followed the scent to its origin and heard some chewing sounds nearby. Shao Xuan’s heart skipped a beat as he sped up.

The branches above him had covered most of the moonlight, but the light that came through the interconnected branches was enough to reveal the situation there.

There was a carcass on the ground, but judging by the beast’s exterior, it wasn’t Caesar. Shao Xuan heaved out a sigh of relief. The fearsome beast that had died was not large. It was a predator that hunted in the night. It was skilled in persistent hunting, and it was very fast too.

Around the dead beast, there were other nocturnal beasts that were chewing its meat. Carcasses like these would become skeletons very soon in the forest. Within thirty days, there wouldn’t even be bones left.

Shao Xuan wanted to check the beast’s injuries to see if it was killed by Caesar. He found tracks of a wolf paws nearby, and there were only three fearsome beasts eating its meat, but there were other nocturnal beasts that had smelled the blood and were coming. Now, Shao Xuan’s main goal was to look for Caesar. He didn’t want to cause any conflicts with these nocturnal beasts.

Thus, Shao Xuan left quietly and went around that place. He continued to follow his intuition and walked in one direction.

The bloody stench was still in the air, but it was getting lighter. Shao Xuan no longer saw any trees that were bumped.

He was getting close.

Very close.

Shao Cuan carefully approached him. He didn’t know whether Caesar was clear-headed right now. If he had indeed gone crazy, he might even attack him, so Shao Xuan had to stay vigilant. He even brought some poisonous needles dripping with sedatives just in case Caesar actually went crazy and couldn’t control himself. He would then put Caear to sleep and bring him back. He couldn’t leave him here. A fearsome beast that was not clear-headed could not survive long in the forest. There were too many smart predators in the forest, and Caesar might accidentally get in their way. Shao Xuan did not want to bring back a wolf’s skeleton.

A low roar came from nearby. It wasn’t loud and sounded like the creature was struggling in pain.

This sound belonged to Caesar. Shao Xuan could tell.

At least he’s still alive.

Shao Xuan kept walking closer. As he went closer, the stench of blood became clearer. Even though it was not strong, Shao Xuan could smell it. Some nocturnal beasts were already attracted to this smell. They were just slowly creeping in on him. They didn’t dare to ambush right away. It was as if they were hesitant and watchful.

Shao Xuan observed from up close. The figure that was lying in front of him, whose back was facing him, was Caesar.

He wanted to call out to him, but seeing the tension around them, Shao Xuan simply lifted a finger to his mouth and blew out a tune.

The sound of the whistle blended in with the sounds of the birds and bugs chirping. It wasn’t obvious and wouldn’t catch the attention of any nocturnal beasts. It was a tune Shao Xuan blew often, and so Caesar was familiar with the sound.

After Shao Xuan blew the tune, the figure that was lying on the ground perked up. He slowly stood on all fours and turned around to look in Shao Xuan’s direction.

Shao Xuan was standing on an ancient tree nearby. Caesar looked up after he turned around.

The moonlight shone down on Caesar and the ghostly green colour reflected through his eyes. He couldn’t tell what his eyes were saying, but Shao Xuan could sense that Caesar was still breathing fine. Even though he ran for so long and so far, and even fought with other fearsome beasts, he had quite a lot of injuries on his body. He was even growling, but there was not at all any signs of irritation.

Shao Xuan wasn’t sure if Caesar was fully recovered and conscious, so he blew his tune again. His tune was mixed with some commands that he taught Caesar when he trained him a long time ago. It meant ‘come here’.

Caesar took two steps towards Shao Xuan, and then halted. He lowered his head and lifted a paw. At first, he thought that Caesar wanted to scratch his eyes with his paw, but he hesitated for a while and then set it back down. He then turned his head to look at Shao Xuan.

Two green, glowing eyes could be seen amidst the darkness.

Shao Xuan had already prepared three needles injected with anaesthetic herbal extracts and held it in his hand behind his back. Caesar was still not in perfect condition. He was planning on knocking him out and bringing him back.

However, right when Shao Xuan was prepared to take action, he stopped.

Shao Xuan was shocked when he looked at Caesar.

In the dark, above the two ghostly green eyes, there was another green luminous spot.

What was that...

Shao Xuan looked surprisingly at Caesar. As Caesar lifted his foot to approach Shao Xuan, he could see it even clearer.

Caesar’s head was bleeding and some flesh was revealed because he bumped his head recklessly into different things. His forehead was bleeding and there wasn’t a single piece of perfect skin on his forehead. However, between the blood and flesh, there was a clear vertically oriented eye!

A third eye!

How was this possible?!
