Chapter 747

The Strong Bullies the Weak

Under the strong sunlight in the midst of rolling yellow sand, two lines of people faced each other rigidly.

Su Le’s gaze on Shao Xuan was obviously heavy with murderous intent. If it was possible, he’d very much like to slash Shao Xuan up personally and feed him to his slaves. However, Su Le treasured his life. He knew Shao Xuan wasn’t easy to handle. Though he did not experience it first-hand, he had definitely heard about the beast battle incident from back then.

Su Le refused to risk it. If he was dead, the successor of the Fallen Leaves City would be none other than that idiot, Su Gu!

Despite that, with Su Le’s current authority, he need not venture over personally. He was a slave master and he owned slaves. Since the change of scenery in the desert, he too began training slaves to create elite talents. Battles could be fully entrusted to those trained slaves and he’d just observe it from afar.

Plus…

Su Le lifted his chin slightly to look at someone behind from the peripheral of his eye. This person was dressed the same way as the non-breathing ‘humans’ on the outer radius. Their whole body was clad in a greyish-white linen cloth but the difference was while the ‘humans’ had their heads covered as well, this person was merely wearing a hood. The lower half of their pale face was visible but in scarce lighting, any emotions would go unnoticed.

In the desert, many would have slightly tan skin as a result of the sun rays. But this person seemed as if they hadn’t been in the sun for a very long time. One may even say they looked sickly pale.

There were plenty of people of similar fashion in Rock Hill City. Some were involved in the coastal war while some followed their slave masters around. Su Le’s brother, Su Gu, too had someone like this. This was the puppeteer that controlled the monsters.

Though the presence of a puppeteer brought Su Le discomfort, it was a form of protection from another perspective. With them around, Su Le felt relieved as it would not strain the number of his slaves.

He took a glance at the person behind, immediately feeling more confident. On Su Le’s end, he had one hundred slaves and one hundred monsters. He took another look at the Flaming Horn Tribe’s side, they were definitely outnumbered. The Flaming Horn Tribe’s line-up consisted of not more than fifty people. And then he compared their beasts. Su Le’s beast was obviously larger than Shao Xuan’s beetle. The beetle didn’t seem all too mighty either.

The comparison brought ease to Su Le.

Because of that, Su Le made his ruthlessness clear in his eyes. If this were someone else, he would probably grant them mercy after they hand over the Gongjia members as demanded. After all, battles would burn through human resources and he wasn’t too keen on letting his slaves perish. The slave training wasn’t easy at all.

But the Flaming Horn Tribe? He was adamant to not leave behind a single life! He could even bring their corpses back and get rewarded!

Su Le tugged on a metal bell on the side. Soon, slaves appeared.

Eight golden-armoured slaves unloaded the canvas canopy and lifted it like a sedan-chair. They gingerly carried it, afraid to anger the person within with a single tremble.

The fluidity of their actions suggested that they had done this many times.

“Be careful, they’re coming!” warned Shao Xuan.

The little canopy was brought off the beast’s spine to let the giant golden armoured beast participate in the battle without affecting the person inside. With that, Su Le was brought to the very end of the convoy. The golden-armoured members surrounded him while the unbreathing ‘humans’ stood at the very front of the outer wings.

Without reservations, the two plier-like fangs of the giant golden armoured beast moved. It let out a whistle that sounded like violent winds. He lifted its upper body and folded dozens of its feet. Its ventral abdomen that was mostly stuck to the ground was displayed. Though its abdomen wasn’t protected with thick armour like its flanks and back, it still was protected by a shell of a lighter shade.

Then, the giant golden beast hammered its body down hard like a mace!

The sandy grounds shook violently as if receiving impact from the fall of a giant boulder. It almost felt like a mountain could be split open. Their ears were tormented by the thundering sound. Those that were close to the beast would feel their heads hurt while their chest bubbled with air and blood.

The six Gongjia members were very depressed. They had never encountered a giant beast like this during their escape. Even if they did, they would’ve seen it from a safe distance away. If they had met such a beast, they would’ve been long dead by now.

After the booming thud resonated away, waves of sand rippled and spread towards the Flaming Horn Tribe party.

The waves seized the Flaming Horn Tribesmen’s feet and even those that stood a few hundreds of metres away could feel the instability. It felt like they were standing on a rocking boat atop a turbulent sea during a storm.

The sand storm triggered sharp piercing noises from the friction birthed by the sand particles that brushed through the tough golden armoured body. It sounded like the sand was polished by rigid strong metal.

Strong wind brought sand over to their end. Gongjia Ren lifted his sleeve to cover his nose and mouth. His eyes were narrowed into slits to avoid sand from getting into his eyes. His slightly oversized sleeve flapped wildly under the assault of the wind. The man’s hair was blown to a point where it was almost parallel to the ground!

This giant beast was bound to be difficult!

What would the Flaming Horn Tribesmen do? Gongjia Ren looked around.

Out of Gongjia Ren’s expectation, the Flaming Horn members showed no fear or anxiety to the display of threat earlier. It was almost as if the giant golden armoured beast’s performance had triggered nothing but a normal breeze.

But that was in fact, the truth. They weren’t faking their calmness. The Flaming Horn Tribesmen weren’t all too bothered by the giant golden armoured beast.

What was the point of showing off?
