C312 – Battle in Beast City
Posted on November 29, 2018 by AzureOrchid92
Even when other people were not paying attention due to the chaos, Shao Xuan had noticed the person who might be the ming Horns tribe traitor Dao Yu. Therefore, in Lei and Tuo’s mind, it would have been good if, at that time, they had directly rushed past to kill that traitor.
“No wonder I think that guy looks weird,” Tuo said.
“I knew I should have ripped his head off.” Lei thought it was a pity.
However, even if they said that, they understood that at that time, their sess rate of rushing past was not high, let alone executing Dao Yu here. Besidez, Shao Xuan felt that Dao Yu’s strength might not be weaker than theirs. It could even be that he already have enough to match the strength of a senior totem warrior. If the two really rushed past, even if they managed to single him out, whoever lost or won may be unclear. What more when Dao Yu was surrounded by Baishi people.
After a careful analysis, Lei’s and Tuo’s thoughts were quiteplex. A traitor has a strength that was stronger than theirs. They wanted to clean this up but couldn’t. So, how do they go back to face the Shaman and the chief?
Shao Xuan looked around to find Ai Shi to rify if that person standing before in the Baishi King’s riding beast was none other than Dao Yu. Lei and Tuo then paid more attention.
Unlike a native-born ming Horns tribeman, Dao Yu had already mixed himself with the ve owners. As a wanderer who had reached his current level, he was already better than Lei which made thingsplicated. If one was careless, it would likely repeat the tragedy of their former years.
The farther forward they travelled, the more snow covered the ce. Shao Xuan could even feel a force of oppression, like ordinary people might not be able to safely stand in this ce.
“We’re finally here!” Su Gu said excitedly.
In front of them was the base of Luoye City in the Beast City.
The stone walls, which were nearly ten meters high, were built to circle around the perimeter. The inner houses were made of stone, while there were small sandy houses surrounding those, as well as some simple tents. The stone houses were for the ve owners, while the sand houses and the simple tents were for the rest of the ves to live in in this ce.
Shao Xuan’s group were to stay in a stone house with Su Gu. Meanwhile, the fifteen ves under Su Gu were brought in together to serve the young master.
Although this was not Luoye City and was just a stronghold in the Beast City, the construction of the stone house took a lot of thought. Many meter-long, whole block of boulders were used to build this two-storey house into a height of more than ten meters. This house was made for the king to live in, so, naturally, it could not shabby. At the same time, this also represented the king himself. Hence, if the king of Luoye City only lived in an ordinary three or four-metre-high stone house, he would beughed at by the other cities.
Su Gu originally had a vacant space located beside the stone house to let Chacha rest. Unfortunately, after entering this piece of cold ce, Chacha’s spirit was too excited. It did not only like the weather, but also like the atmosphere here—tense and bloody, with a variety of beasts. Every time he disappeared for a time, it would always return with some injuries, but its spirit was very good.
It was rare to see Chacha so happy, so Shao Xuan let it have its fun. As the people of Hui tribe had said, the growth of a mountain eagle should be apanied by a variety of challenges. Shao Xuan was rest assured that Chacha would be reasonable. It wouldn’t be reckless, and would know how to weigh the pros and cons of a fight, and retreat if it could not win.
Shao Xuan’s room was not far from the Su Gu’s. Because of his power on very, Su Gu trusted Shao Xuan quite a lot. As to how long this trust would remain sincere, they couldn’t say for sure. However, at the moment, the cooperation between the two sides has been smooth.
“How do you feel?” Su Gu asked to Shao Xuan’s group.
“Not bad.” Shao Xuan said.
Perhaps some people were not ustomed to such weather, but that wasn’t the case for the ming Horns tribe.
Su Gu looked at the Shao Xuan and the other two. He determined that the three people really did not care about the cold. Since their state were also good, he suggested happily, “As it happens, I nned to go out and have a look around. I have note here for several years, so I already forgot how the Beast City looks like, and didn’t know how much had changed here.”
From his memory of the Beast City, Su Gu was most impressed with those violent and bloody pictures that were full of primitive power, making one’s heart burn.
When they heard that they could go stroll around this territory of the ve owners, Shao Xuan’s group also became excited.
Seeing Lei and Tuo looking forward to look around themselves, Shao Xuan nodded, “Then, we’re grateful to Third Young Master.”
Shao Xuan knew that, with their identity as just a tribe, they would be unable to enter the city, hence they had to borrow Su Gu’s identity.
The Luoye City King was not strict on the whereabouts of Su Gu. Rather, he would like to see Su Gu toe in contact with the masters of other cities. It was a kind of interpersonal rtionship andmunication.
With a few ves, some were high-level ves sent by the king as guards, Su Gu rode a domesticated beast, then rode to the city.
In the world of ve owners, identity was a very important factor. ves were seen as dust, and even some low-status ve owners might not get much attention.
For their partnership, Su Gu was very caring towards Shao Xuan’s group, looking for a beast for them to ride since the camel was not convenient. Only domesticated beasts were eptable, which was also to show others that the three were not ves.
The Beast City was not far from the base of Luoye City. After they passed by the city gate, the guards outside the city walls did not pay them much attention.
“Who are the guards in the city?” Shao Xuan asked.
“Most of them are people from Rock Tomb, Fire Hill and Snowfield Cities. Those were the three great cities of the desert. The Beast City was also established by these three major cities.” Su Gu said.
Ragarding these three authoritative cities in the desert, Shao Xuan had long ago been provided by Su Gu the information that the atmosphere around these three had beplicated. Shao Xuan did not asked much, and only paid attention the situation around them.
In the middle of the city, on a high ground, there was a giant structure entrenched which was also the symbol of the city—the Colosseum. However, it would only open when the kings of the cities were present, but would not open to the other ve owners.
There was a bloody smell in the air. Some were fresh flesh, while some were more stale. Perhaps this was the taste of the city.
Taking a deep breath, Su Gu said with emotion, “Really memorable.”
At that moment, a number of figures passed by Shao Xuan and his entourage. The ves guarding at the edge were almost kicked.
Shao Xuan noticed that those people were riding a gerbil, tall and fast-moving, uncaring of the city’s people.
“Quick! The people of Rock Tomb are fighting with the Fire Hill people!” Those people shouted.
“Wait, I’ll go too!” There were other people following behind them.
Su Gu was originally angry because of those people’s behavior. However, when he heard those words, he immediately put aside his anger.
“Let’s go, and look too!” Su Gu looked forward to the excitement.
Note: I don’t know what happened but, in this chapter, it said that there were only ten ves that Su Gu had enved instead of the previous fourteen. Now, I’m not sure if the others died—which was not told—or the author made an error. I’ll stick with fourteen, plus Wu Shi to make the fifteen.
