C317 – Cutting Flesh

Posted on December 8, 2018 by AzureOrchid92

Deep underground, there were many caves, all of which were dug by a variety of insects.

And these nine ants, in addition to digging their own, used these holes as they moved forward.

The Baishi young master held up a cup of tea and drank a mouthful, before looking at other man who was sitting on the rug. “What do you see?”

This other person remained tolerant in the face of the other. In his heart, he was complaining that the young master was really impatient. How long has it been since he last asked? He had already asked four times! Answering him was also distracting, and the more he was distracted, the more energy he consumed.

Regardless of what he was thinking, the person’s expression did not show any antipathy, but was more respectful of the young master, “They’re still moving forward.”

He was able to sense something through the ants and then guide the ants to do things. In order to satisfy the demand of this young master, he would not hesitate to take these long-bred sand ants out. He was not a slave but has maintained a similar status as a slave. Because of his own ability, he had a good position among the Baishi of slaves.

If Shao Xuan was here, he would be surprised if he saw the young man’s totem patterns. He was familiar with this person’s totem pattern as he had encountered the warriors with such patterns just neighboring their Flaming Horns tribe—the Wanshi tribe!

Moreover, this young man was not a mere warrior, but the next shaman of the Wanshi tribe. However, he had been in Baishi City for a while, and when he returned to his tribe, it was time of his succession as shaman.

“Why haven’t they arrived yet?!” Baishi’s young master was unsatisfied.

The other two people did not make a sound. All their explanations would be nonsense, and the more said, the bigger the young master’s temper would be.

After a long time of waiting and the young master asking eight times, the person sitting on the rug finally exclaimed, “They arrived!”

He already sensed through those sand ants that they were already inside Luoye City station.

Around Beast City, there were many insects in any station. There were many bugs, especially the kind of cold-resistant dung beetle Shao Xuan had seen. In particular, they dug deep into the holes, even if they were resistant to cold, and would still try to avoid the cold of the surface when resting. Therefore, deep down in every city, there were many wormholes.

The team of sand ants that came from the Baishi, entered Luoye City through the underground wormholes and marched forward for a while. Then, they would go out of the hole to explore and determine the direction of the scent, before moving forward again.

These sand ants were raised with herbs and were particularly sensitive to the smell of herbs. At the moment, they were looking for the herb that Su Gu had won a few days ago. That victory of Su Gu and the spoils that he won were all planned.

The purpose of that herb was nothing more than a thing for the Baishi people to use to locate it.

It was just that, those people didn’t know that Su Gu had given these herbs to Shao Xuan. Hence, this team of sand ants eventually found the scent leading to Shao Xuan’ room or more accurately, the hole in which Sapphire was frequently entering.

They continued to follow the scent, but did not sense the fire hill stone.

In the area of Baishi City, the person sitting on the rug had a puzzled expression.

“What’s the matter?” Baishi’s young master asked.

“There was no fire hill stone.”

“How could there not? Did Su Gu go out with the fire hill stone? No, that couldn’t be it. It’s your ants that may have found the wrong place. Keep looking for it!!!” The young master shouted.

No matter how he felt in his heart, the man still had on a respectful face. “Yes.”

In Luoye City station, inside Shao Xuan’s room, the nine sand ants were about to return after another round of the area when they found that the hole in which they came in was blocked. There was a beetle bigger than them there.

There was a given task to them hence the team of sand ants immediately showed their killing intent and posed to fight. However, soon, they found that the opponent was too strong.

After a face-to-face confrontation, the leading sand ant’s head and torso has been cut apart.

In Baishi City station, the expression of the man sitting on the rug looked ugly.

“What’s the matter?” Baishi’s young master urged. See that the other side did not answer, he stood up from his seat and stepped forward a few steps to continue to ask, “Tell me, what’s the matter?”

“There is… Hey!” His words were not finished yet, when the man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

With this, even the person who had been silent in the corner of the house, couldn’t help but frown at the scene.

“Dao Yu, what do you think happened to him? What could it be?” The Baishi young master looked at the man who had never made any noise.

Da Yu didn’t answer. From the wooden box onthe side, he took out an herb, crushed it into pulp, then fed it to the man sitting in the rug.

After swallowing the drug regiment, the skin on that person slowly returned, but he didn’t say anything to the others as he closed his eyes to continue to do what he unfinished. Regardless whether he could find the fire hill stone, his few carefully raised sand ants must be withdrawn!

Immediately after the first one, the second and the third sand ant had also completely disconnected from his consciousness, which meant that these sand ants have all died!

He couldn’t keep dragging this down!

He must let them escape! If the team could not escape, then they would escape separately! Even if it was only one!

He could not see exactly what the sand ants were up to, but he could still perceive a vague image. It was not the beetle, but a flame-wrapped thing that looked like a horn.

Seeing that the Baishi young master’s face was getting angrier and intended to ask again, Dao Yu hurriedly spoke to him. “Young Master, the situation now is different. Do not rush him, and wait a little.”

“There’s something different? What’s the difference? I thought you said you could do it.” Baishi young master kicked the chair next to him, but now, his only course of action was to wait.

In Luoye City station, the slaves responsible for cleaning up the beasts like the riding beasts and others found that the insects around the beasts were exceptionally few. Even a shadow of a beetle could not be seen. Did they hid from a natural enemy?

However, the slaves’ task was to take care of the beasts, not the insects. Even if they found that the bugs were less, they did not care and just continued their task to clean the animals.

In the place unknown to these people, a large-scale chase was being carried out.

Among the nine sand ants that entered Shao Xuan’s room, only four were left. The remaining five were fleeing separately. Some never tried the holes, some fled to other places, climbing out of the windows or the door, then crawling to the ground to escape, or find a hole that led underground.

However, even if they flee separately, they still could not escape hundreds of thousands of beetles and were soon killed. Especially those who drilled a hole underground, they were directly blocked and died there.

Peng!

In the Baishi station, the man sitting on the rug spat another mouthful of blood. He looked more frail than earlier, his face gray and defeated. It was not only because of the effect of those ants being cut off, but mainly by a thought of his.

He had spent a lot of effort to cultivate the sand ants. He had around twenty in total, and now, suddenly, they were nine fewer!

It’s more painful than cutting his flesh!
