C304 – Traitor’s Message


    Posted on November 14, 2018 by AzureOrchid92


    Dao Yu. This was a name Shao Xuan had not heard for a long time, but has been deep in his memory.


    This name was only one of the few who have been included in the list of the ming Horns tribe of the people who had betrayed and murdered the tribe’s wanderers, then fled without traces. Back then, the chief and the Shaman sent out people secretly several times to catch them. They met Dao Yu then, and confessed that he killed innocent people with no forgiveness. However, Dao Yu went missing. Some people even guessed that the traitor has already died. After all, he was just a wanderer.


    Shao Xuan did not think that now, he would unexpectedly hear this name again.


    “Dao Yu is here?” Shao Xuan’s face was grave.


    Next to them, Lei and Tuo also heard the talk about Dao Yu. They remembered the chief and the Shaman’smand, resolutely executed. Hearing this, they also had their own thoughts, thinking about cutting the traitor on the spot.


    Seeing Shao Xuan’s group’s reaction, Su Gu’s heart was clear. In order to prevent misunderstandings, he hurriedly denied it. “No, we don’t have people expelled from any tribes in Luoye City. Previously, many of the tribe’s traitors expelled from their tribes would go to our ve owners afterwards. However,ter, father and the tribes agreed on a cooperation, and those traitors were handed over to the tribal people, treated as a gift to the tribes.”


    Looking at Shao Xuan’s face, Su Gu continued, “However, even if this is so in Luoye City, the other cities are not. There are people who have been abandoned by the tribes that went into the desert cities to be senior ves of the ves owners. Although every tribe’s team enter the desert to look for those traitors to kill them, the expected result was very little. After all, the desert is our, the ve oweners’, turf.”


    Su Gu meant to tell this to the three people of the ming Horns tribe to calm them down, asking them not to be impulsive and chase after to kill the traitor. The traitor should not be killed, but cut off instead.


    “Dao Yu was not an outcast totem warrior. He is a wanderer.” Shao Xuan said. However, looking at Su Gu’s still nk face, he could see that the other could not distinguish what was the difference between an expelled totem warrior and a wanderer. But he did not borate, asking instead. “Where is Dao Yu now?”


    “I didn’t have that information before. I asked Ai Shi just now, and he said thatst year, he saw Dao Yu in Beast City,” said Su Gu. In the past, he only thought of how to avoid the pit his two elder brothers dug, how to survive, how to enhance his ability to enve, and would not pay attention to others. Now, with the cooperation of the ming Horns tribe, he was involving himself with their issues. Naturally, he would be more attentive to inquire.


    “Beast City?” It was the first time Shao Xuan heard it. He only knew a few ve owners in the desert, and there was no such city in the information that Su Gu had given him.


    “It is not a city ruled by a ve owner, but a ce where the ve owners could y at every year.” Su Gu exined to the three.


    Beast City was deep in the desert. It was a ce built by the threergest ve owners in the desert for leisure and fun. Then, they felt that having only three parties had no meaning, so they called on the ves of the other cities in the desert to have fun together.


    Beast City, as its name implied, was the ce for the beasts. Many ve owners would bring their domesticated beasts there and have them fight in a battle of beasts with other ve owners’.


    “Dao Yu is under the behalf of the White Rock City in that city, defeating another beast,” said Su Gu.


    “Wait. It’s a fight of beasts in the city, why was Dao Yu a participant?” Shao Xuan asked.


    “Dao Yu is the other side’s ‘beast’.” Su Gu showed a face like it was a matter of fact. “There are many ves taking the initiative to participate in order to please the ve owners and prove their value. If they win, they can get more benefits from the ve owners, such as lifting ayer of shackles.”


    When they first enved the ves, the ve owners gave them another kind of power, as well as put shackles on them and locked their way to rise a level. If you want to ascend, you have to let the ve owners unlock them.


    Lifting ayer of shackles means that the ve has an opportunity to ascend. Of course, even for ves, there were different qualifications. The ve owners, like the fire seed, gave the ves a gift, and to what extent they could use such a gift could only be seen by themselves.


    Su Gu’s words gave Shao Xuan a lot of information. He took all of these down, but as for Dao Yu…


    He had deceive the people in the desert that he only had a small power like that of the wanderers. After bing a ve, he was able to safely climb to a high status, and gain greater capacity. Obviously, he was not a simple character. Even though there may be a reason for a wanderer to have such talent, at the same time, it could be seen that Dao Yu was a cunning, vicious, and clever person. He did not hesitate to swindle his tribemen, leaving them with nothing. They knew his character.


    But, was it true that such a person had be a ve?


    “I have heard that many people who were from your tribe wanted to be ves, but the number of people that have be ves now was not much,” said Su Gu.


    “Not much means, in addition to Dao Yu, there are other ming Horns descendants who chose to be ves?” Shao Xuan frowned.


    “It looks like it.” Su Gu was not sure. He did not see it personally, and he just heard everything. Seeing Shao Xuan and his group’s uglyplexion, Su Gu, who originally wanted to say that he also wanted ming Horns tribe ves, didn’t say anything. These people seemed to be averse to ves, so he still would not mention it.


    “Those traitors! Shameless!” Lei was very angry with those who became ves, especially the Dao Yu. Not only was he a murderer, he even became a ve!


    Seeing Lei wanting to cut the person immediately, Tuo hurriedly held him off. Athough he was also angry, he understood their situation now.


    ording to Su Gu’s words, Dao Yu seemed to be a person under the White Rock City. The ves’ status there was not low. If the three of them rushed just with these words, they wouldn’t be able to get anything.


    “White Rock City’s rtionship with us is not good. Ai Shi suspected that the previous incident that urred in the city was orchestrated by White Rock. He also suspected that it was by Dao Yu, so he was only wary of the ming Horns tribe.” Su Gu exined.


    “I see.” Shao Xuan nodded. He could understand, however, Dao Yu was too big a threat. To a person who did not hesitate to cheat and kill his own tribe’s men and was full of hatred to the tribe, such a person should be dealt with at once.


    As he was thinking, Shao Xuan heard an eagle calling outside.


    “There is a situation!” Shao Xuan ran out and looked at the sky.


    “What’s going on?” Su Gu could see the three people of the ming Horns tribe looking vignt, making his heart uneasy.


    Not far, Ai Shi, who was keeping guard in the oasis next to the spring pool alsoe over. “Young Master, what happened?”


    Su Gu did not answer. Instead, he looked at Shao Xuan, since he alsodidn’t know what was going on.


    Shao Xuan looked at the eagle in the sky. He raised a hand to point to one side. “In that direction, there is a situation.”


    Ai Shi looked at the eagle in the sky, and hurried over to have the other ves on alert.


    Was it another attempt to steal the oasis? Ai Shi thought.


    It was no wonder that Ai Shi was so doubtful even though this oasis was small. Oases were precious enough in the desert, and the wars and contradictions between cities were often due to the oases.


    “Jiao~”


    The eagle in the sky called again, and it was another reminder.


    “Come on!” Shao Xuan said.


    Everyone looked at the distant dunes. Above the rolling sand hills, there were several moving ck spots. Those were people running. The men were shouting and running towards the oasis.


    “Those are the ves of Luoye City!” Su Gu’s eyes were good. As the ves ran closer, he could distinguish them, “It’s the ves of second eldest brother. I have seen that person in front. I remember that a few days ago, I heard that brother ordered them for out of city affairs.”


    Su Gu wanted to inquire about what his second brother was going to do at that time, but failed to inquire about it sessfully since those people disappeared when they stepped outside the city. Su Gu sent some people to follow them but they returned without merit. He didn’t expect to see them here.


    “There seems to be something terrible behind them.” Lei said. He could feel a fast approaching crisis, as if he had met a mighty beast in the mountains. There was a chill that made him shiver.


    “Ah Xuan.” Tuo looked at the Shao Xuan to ask how they should actter.


    Shao Xuan made a gesture. This was a signal during a hunt to stay quiet to wait and see. After all, this was not the ming Horns tribe’s. It was the ve owners’ turf, and they don’t have to fight.


    As the ves ran closer and closer, Shao Xuan saw that there was movement in the sand. There seemed to be something in the sand that was moving fast and circling to the front of those ves.


    Peng!


    In front of those ves, the sand exploded, and a huge figure rushed out from under the sand.


    With spines of coarse scales covering its whole body, the creature locked its rounded pupils on those people running in the sand. Standing on top of the hill, it opened its mouth like a python that was about to devour its prey. It opened up to its jaws, its mouth with sharp teeth rapidly mming on the ground. After the hit, it suddenly turned around.


    In the blink of an eye, four ves, together with the sand on the ground, were shoveled into the jaws of the beast.


    “Quicksand Beast! It’s a quicksand beast!” On the side of the oasis, there were ves screaming aloud.


    It was said that the quicksand beast could make quicksand. Its name was taken from it. At the same time, some people called it the Beast King of the desert. Not only were its body huge and have powerful attack, its body was like sand with the same color.


    Their skin, blood, bones and so on were all yellow sand colored, especially their horns. The color was simr to gold. The ve owners very much liked to use their bones to make utensils, especially the golden horn. Manyrge ve owners used it to make crowns.


    However, in the desert, the quicksand beast was notmon. They appear only for the purpose of predation. Humans were not on its main meal, therefore, many times, a quicksand beast would not take the initiative to hunt people. They probably thought that humans were too small, not enough for them to eat, not wanting to waste their time for such prey. Now, the sand beast in anger was chasing the ves angrily. It was most likely because the ves had taken the initiative to provoke it.


    “I know! Second eldest brother wanted to hunt a quicksand beast for father’s birthday ceremony!” Su Gu cried.


    Indeed, Luoye City’s second young master’s ves went out to hunt a quicksand beast. Now, it seemed that sending them out to hunt not only resulted to failure, but they themselves were hunted by the sand beast, and now, they also led it to the people in the oasis.


    Note: Changed Dou Shou City to Beast City and Baishi to White Rock. I used the former to conform with what I used with Luoye City but decided that Beast City and White Rock City was better.
