Chapter 673 Who Stole The Thousand Grain Gold (1/2)

After Shao Xuan shifted the ‘monster’ into the underground chamber, the few other leaders of the tribe came over to check out the legendary desert monster, though they still could not identify it. However, at least they learned a little about it.

So the monster looks like that.

So it does not breathe, has no organs and no pulse. Apparently, it was like a dried salted fish before it decayed.

Apparently, this monster had shocking strength and was unfazed when their limbs were chopped off. They could even rip out a rib if an arm was lost, according to someone who travelled in the desert.

Essentially, the desert became a place where no trading party would cross. On the other hand, more and more people liked to frequent Flaming River Trading Point and so they received more information.

There were guest houses within the trading point but no caves. Anyone who preferred caves would have to look for one outside the trading area but no one would take that risk. Although it was not absolutely safe within the trading area, at least they were guarded by the Flaming Horns. No one would dare commit crimes in public. And that was enough. They were charged accommodation fees but any tribe with the capability of travelling to this place did not mind this extra cost.

The travellers from far away places all sat together to chat.

To the Flaming Horns, this was good news.

Have fun and talk! You can brag too, there is usually partial truth in bragging. That was how they got more information.

Tribesmen were always secretive about their own matters but often got excited in information regarding other tribes. They’d dig and dig! Although their gossip was usually at the expense of another party, at least they were talking.

Yi Si, who had just arrived, loved to listen to travellers gossiping along with Grasshopper. He did not know much about the tribes here so listening to gossip helped him gain more information.

Zheng Luo had also received all kinds of information. For example, people from the other side of the ocean had begun to appear in the central plans. Although the travellers were not familiar with the situation, Zheng Luo speculated that it was almost like what he guessed.

However, Shao Xuan paid them no heed. Ever since the Hui tribe delivered the ‘monster’, he spent most of his time studying it. He felt like if he could find out even a small secret about the monster, perhaps his questions would be answered.

“The Grand Elder is in the underground chamber at the trading point,” said Duo Kang.

A few days later.

Ta planned to lead a party out for a hunt and wanted to invite Shao Xuan. He was nowhere to be found in the tribe or trading area.

“Where’s Grand Elder?”

“In the underground chamber at the trading point.”

A few more days later.

“Where’s Grand Elder?”

“Studying the monster in the underground chamber at the trading point.”

Zheng Luo and the rest now knew that if they needed Shao Xuan, they would have to go to the underground chamber beneath the Flaming River.

Zheng Luo did not understand what could come of Shao Xuan studying the monster. However, perhaps he could find out some useful information. If he really could not find anything, he could get the Yi guy over. It was something his ancestor made, he might know something.

However, before Shao Xuan came out, they did not want to disturb him unless it was something urgent.

On this day, Shao Xuanw as in the underground chamber as usual. He had figured out some information these days. He remembered the peculiar, dark and chilling fire seed aura he felt when he opened the door the day he visited the Hui tribe to give them the invitation letter. Right now, the aura still remained on the body, though it had faded.

He had not had a good look at the Hui tribe but now, he realised that the peculiar fire seed aura did not come from the flesh, but its bones!

However, how did the creator of this monster merge the fire seed with its bones? How did the creator turn dead bodies into monsters?

Bones…
