Chronicles of Primordial Wars Chapter 318

C318 – Invited

The plan failed. Hence, the Baishi young master completely thrashed all the contents inside the house. The man sitting on the rug was brutally kicked, and Dao Yu was also was sprayed with spit and scolded with a couple of sentences. Still, compared to the former, he was not beaten. This treatment could be considered good.

When the young master lost his temper, the man on the rug and Dao Yu did not speak. One remained sitting while the other one was in meditation, both not knowing what to think.

Waiting until the Baishi young master finally calmed down, Dao Yu stood up from his corner stone stool and moved to put it behind the young master as he advised. “Young Master, with this failure, the next time you encounter them, why get angry when you can kill.”

Fortunately, the young master was almost out of air, so when he heard Dao Yu’s words, he grunted as he shook his sleeves and sat down. Then, he trained a hateful stare to the person sitting on the rug.

Dao Yu quickly exchanged a glance with the man on the rug, indicating that he was not safe. After soothing the young master, he asked the man, “What the h.e.l.l is going on?”

“I don’t know what happened, only that the nine sand ants were all dead. Not one managed to escape.” As he remembered that thought, the muscles on the man’s face twitched, looking distorted and hideous. He was very distressed.

“Did anybody leak the news?” Dao Yu whispered, seeming to be talking to himself.

The Baishi young master next to him heard this and denied. “No, it’s only the three of us who know, and there are two slaves arranged in the vicinity of Luoye City. Those two slaves would never betray me! It is impossible to leak the information in advance!”

Since that was the case with the slaves, the three people in the house also would not have been foolish enough to reveal the news of what they planned.

“What have you seen?” Dao Yu asked the man on the rug.

“A fire and what seems to be in the fire was like a horn? It wasn’t very clear but I’m sure that the sand ants definitely did not encounter an average desert beast,” the man said.

“Perhaps it was the slave owner of Luoye City who enslaved something?” Baishi’s young master asked.

“No, it was not like someone from Luoye City.” Not even like a slave owner. But the man did not say the latter half of the statement. If he said that, the young master would be more angry, and the more angry he was, the consequence was that he was going to be beaten again. The young master has no good impression of the tribes, even the people of the Wanshi tribe were treated as slaves. Looking at the different treatment between him and Dao Yu, one would know that he was still inferior to a slave!

When Dao Yu heard the “group of fire” and “horn”, his eyelids twitched as he thought.

On the other side, Su Gu’s battle today was very smooth. Whether it was the fighting slaves or the fighting beast, he had won, and won back two other fighting beasts which he had his people take back to their station.

Back at the Luoye City station, Su Gu first let someone put the two fighting beasts he had won into the beast pen. They would take good care of it so he then went back to his rooms to rest. He had exerted more energy today outside, hence he was tired, and there were still stuff to do tomorrow.

Shao Xuan’s also returned to the house. Inside the house, Shao Xuan felt that something was wrong. He looked at the house, but there were no difference in the surroundings. The table, stools and other furnishings were the same as when he left them. Even the box with the herb was not moved.

But when he moved his gaze to the corner, he found it. At the hole in that corner, a dung ball about the size of the hole was placed there.

As the beetle grew, the hole grew larger and bigger, even with the dung b.a.l.l.s piled up.

“How did the dung ball come out again?” Shao Xuan wondered. For the past few days, the beetle gathering this pile was already stopped. How come this thing was here inside the house again today? Fortunately, it was only piled up by the hole and not pushed to the other parts of the house.

Aware that Shao Xuan was back, the beetle also quickly appeared from the hole, and then it stood on its hind legs, pushing the big dung ball to Shao Xuan’s feet as an offering.

Shao Xuan was still thinking how to get this ball and the bug all out, when suddenly, he saw the strange things wrapped in a dung ball.

“Sand ants?”

Shao Xuan was confused.

When did the beetle change its meal preference to sand ants?

Moreover, these were long sand ants. He hadn’t seen anything like it around here, so where did the beetle get it?

It’s not a good experience to study the dung b.a.l.l.s inside the house, so Shao Xuan pushed the dung ball to the hole in the corner, and said to the beetle, “You can eat it yourself.”

For this appearance of a few corpses of sand ants, Shao Xuan did not seek to know the reason for it, but he had raised still raised his vigilance. Even though he was not sure if the presence of the sand ants was unusual, it was always good to be careful.

If, at this time, the owner of the sand ants knew that his beloved things were rolled into a dung ball, he might be angry again and spat a mouthful of blood. However, there was no way that the beetle would not wrap these corpses as it rolled the dung ball.

Since he could not determine the cause of the sand ants nor get any information from the beetle here, Shao Xuan no longer thought of it, and decided to figure out what he had seen today.

Today, in the Beast City, he saw a man from Shaqi City enslave a fighting beast, when Shao Xuan realized something. Su Gu also wanted to enslave the two fighting beasts he won, so Shao Xuan could just look again. He found that there was a difference with the slave owners when they enslaved men compared to when they enslaved beasts. The process of slavery was not so complicated, and was just like determining the relationship between master and servant.

The next day, Su Gu went to the beasts area to enslave the beasts. The one he had used to fight in the city was brought by the team, and not something he had enslaved himself. Now, he wanted to enslave the two he won so they could really become his own fighting beasts. The next time he fought in the city, he could be more proud as he announce that it was his own fighting beasts.

Shao Xuan also followed him to the area where the beasts were kept. In other people’s view, Su Gu was giving mercy as he invited Shao Xuan to watch. But in fact, Su Gu wanted to borrow Shao Xuan’s ability. He knew that with Shao Xuan, his enslavement would be exceptionally smooth.

The two beast—one was a lizard while the other was a scorpion—were nearly two meters in height when they stood on the ground.

Su Gu intended to try to enslave the lizard first, which was a little easier.

In the beast area, the two beasts did not recognized their master when someone went close, hence, they were more alert. The more aggressive scorpion lifted its tail and bent it towards its front, towards the direction of the coming people. It seemed to be always ready to attack with its stinger. Its two large pincers were also active, facing the people as if in demonstration.

Su Gu was under the protection of slaves as he entered. There were special slaves in charge of taking care of the fighting beasts. If they were working here, they certainly have a bit of strength. Therefore, during the Su Gu’s enslavement, he would need to use these slaves.

He finally let a person restrain the lizard as Su Gu moved close, then reached out to start the slavery.

Shao Xuan felt the change, which was indeed much simpler than Su Gu enslaving a human. Of course, even though it was a simpler process, that didn’t mean he could easily enslave successfully.

An instant later, Su Gu’s enslavement finished, and the beast did not need the restraining of the slaves for the time being.

Waving to let other slaves to retreat, Su Gu went near the lizard beast, intending to take a good look at it and thinking about using it to fight with people in a few days.

The slaves surrounding Su Gu just ignored Shao Xuan. They were only concerned about the safety of their slave owner. As for Shao Xuan, even if the scorpion attacked him, they still would not look at him.

Shao Xuan went to the other animal pen and looked at the big scorpion inside.

The scorpion remained alert against Shao Xuan and seemed to be looking for an opportunity to attack.

Shao Xuan looked at the scorpion inside, but his mind was back to that change in power the time when Su Gu enslaved that lizard. While pondering the scene in his mind, under Shao Xuan’s covered long sleeves, there was a little blue fire that appeared.

Almost at the same moment when the blue flame appeared, the Scorpion, which was preparing to attack Shao Xuan, immediately retreated several paces. Then, its two pincers formed a shield in front of its body.

Note: Not sure if I got the t.i.tle right. It didn’t fit the chapter much.
