Chapter 669 The Three-Eyed Wolf (1/2)
So the third eye was the reason behind all of Caesar’s strange actions.
Shao Xuan just couldn’t understand why this was happening. He thought that the True Eye could only regenerate one eye. The Jing shaman and the others only grew a third eye because both of their eyes were normal, but how come Caesar grew another eye even after his right eye was regenerated? When he inserted the eye into Caesar’s eye socket, he only put it inside his right eye socket.
How was this third eye different from his other two eyes?
Too bad Caesar didn’t know how to speak. He couldn’t express his feelings to Shao Xuan even if he wanted to.
Shao Xuan no longer wanted to bring him back immediately. Caesar was not irritated at all and was emotionally stable. He was not hitting his head on the ground anymore.
He was a little uncertain.
Shao Xuan was a little uncertain too.
After Shao Xuan blew the whistle, Caesar probably understood his orders, because he saw how Caesar was walking towards him. He only stopped because his third eye opened.
After Shao Xuan understood the reason behind all of Caesar’s strange actions, he was finally able to relax. It wasn’t a late rejection, and both of his other eyes were perfectly fine too.
As Shao Xuan was thinking, Caesar suddenly tilted his head. All three of his eyes looked toward the bushes on the side. He growled at the bushes.
There was a nocturnal beast hiding behind the bushes, waiting to ambush. It thought that it hid well, and was ready to pounce on Caesar. He never thought that Caesar noticed him so soon. To the beast hiding behind the bushes, his growl meant: ‘I noticed you, leave when you can!’
Actually, when Shao Xuan first saw the third eye on Caesar’s forehead, he felt a familiar feeling. It was similar to the feeling he felt when the Jing shaman and Miu looked at him. Even though the green glow in his eyes made it harder to see his eyes clearly, it was very similar to the gaze he felt before, but it was not completely the same, probably because the owner was different and had different emotions. Was this why it made people feel different?
Caesar’s third eye made people feel like even if they hid behind bushes or trees, they could still be sensed. Perhaps this was why the nocturnal beasts that came over didn’t dare approach him. Those beasts liked to sneak up to their prey. If they were noticed, then they wouldn’t even have the chance to pounce on their prey. They enjoyed killing with a single move, so if they were unsure they wouldn’t act brashly.
That was why the beasts around them didn’t attack them right away after Caesar growled. Even though they had not left, they continued to wait for the right moment to attack.
Caesar finally walked over to Shao Xuan. He was a little hesitant and didn’t seem like he was willing to approach him. Shao Xuan even felt a doubtful gaze coming from his eyes.
Why was he doubtful?
Did he see something?
Shao Xuan recalled the Jing shaman telling him about the “figure” behind him. Caesar’s third eye was similar to the Jing shaman’s. Did this mean that Caesar could see the figure behind him as well? Was this why he hesitated when he heard the tune?
However, even if Caesar saw something that he couldn’t see before, he still followed Shao Xuan’s orders and walked over, but as he walked over, he cried out doubtfully.
When Shao Xuan heard this, he was sure that Caesar was already clearheaded and well. He had some injuries and this was not a suitable place for him, so Shao Xuan looked for a place to tend to his wounds.
“Let’s go,” Shao Xuan turned around and walked in the direction he came from.
At first, Shao Xuan didn’t walk fast. After he heard something move behind him, he sped up, and he also blew a whistle at the sky, signalling Cha Cha, who was following them from above, to also speed up.
It was already nighttime, and Caesar was injured. He also ran for so long, so he was probably tired. But he was not the only one who was tired. Cha Cha also needed to rest. Nighttime was not the best time for Cha Cha to fly, so Shao Xuan found a place for them to rest and tended to Caesar’s wounds.
He didn’t bring any medicinal bags, and he didn’t have a lot of medicine on him, so he could only utilise what he had. Luckily, even though Caesar’s injuries looked quite scary, they weren’t serious. Most of his injuries had already scabbed, and most of the severe injuries were on his back and his head. The injuries on his back were from when he fought with other fearsome beasts. The ones on his head were self-induced.
As they rested, Shao Xuan took the chance to get a closer look at Caesar’s third eye. Caesar seemed unable to control the new eye on his forehead. He was only able to shut it after a whole day had passed. It was like a rusted machine and wasn’t flexible at all, and it couldn’t match his other eyes’ movements. The flesh around his new eye was also hardened. Shao Xuan only noticed this when he was applying medicine on Caesar’s head. It reminded him of the time when he first caught the True Eye. When they first opened up the True Eye, there was also a layer of hardened meat surrounding it.
He wasn’t sure if that was the reason behind Caesar’s hardened skin that was surrounding his eye. He had to check with the Jing shaman in the future to make sure.
When Cha Cha saw Caesar, he was even more shocked compared to back then when he saw Caesar lose his right eye. It hadn’t even been long since he last saw him, but Caesar had evolved from a wolf with a single eye to a wolf with three eyes!
Fearsome beasts recovered much faster than wild beasts. Within a single night, Caesar’s injuries had all scabbed and the bloody stench on his body had also faded.
Caesar felt a lot better when he woke up the next day. He was more clearheaded than before. He was just still not used to his third eye and would still try to scratch it with his paws sometimes.
