Chapter 738 - Youre Shao Xuan? (1/2)

It was midnight when Gongjia Ren woke.

He thought he would become desert beast poop, being alive was an unexpected outcome. Still in a daze, it took a while before he realised he was not dreaming and this was not the afterlife.

He was still alive!

He remembered a large beetle lifting up its front limbs before going unconscious, how could he still be alive? Why wasn’t he impaled?

There were other people here.

Was he rescued?

It was dark. He heard fabric flapping in the breeze.

He was inside a tarp tent and could smell sand from the ground. He was very familiar with this smell after being on the run for so long.

He was still in the desert.

He heard the sound of four people breathing, slow and steady. Must be asleep.

Gongjia Ren sat up carefully, almost groaning aloud from the broken bones but he suppressed it. He did not dare make a sound before knowing where he was.

Someone had fed him medicine and treated his wounds. He could feel that his body had recovered a lot, much better than the condition he was in while running in the desert.

He turned over and rubbed his feet gently on the ground.

While it was dark around, there was a single light source where the entrance of the tent was. A light flickered in the tent when the breeze blew on the flapping piece of fabric.

It was moonlight.

Gongjia Heng shuffled gingerly over, lifting the tarp to peer outside. While it wasn’t a full moon, the light was enough to study his surroundings nearby.

He wanted to see how many people were outside, and who they were, to understand his situation. He had just lifted the tarp when he froze.

Not far from his entrance was a giant beetle twice a man’s height sitting quietly. When he peeked out of the tarp, the beetle turned its head to look at him.

Gongjia Ren was speechless, suddenly at a loss for what was going on.

There were people around, yet a giant beetle was also sitting there. Its carapace glittered blue so he knew this was the same beetle he saw before fainting. The image of this beetle impaling a sand lizard was seared into his mind.

Before he knew how to react, he heard a voice.

“You’d just barely survived, where do you think you’re going?”

Gongjia Ren leapt in fright, putting down the tarp as he turned to the voice behind.

The tent brightened when Shao Xuan took a water moon stone out of a pouch.
