Chapter 340
C340 – Nonsense
Posted on March 8, 2019 by AzureOrchid92
This situation was completely beyond what Shi Shu had expected. Looking at his expression, one would know that he had always had the winning hand, feeling that all things were in his control. However, seeing the current scene, Shi Shu had a rare shock. It was also the first time he had come across a situation like this.
On the other hand, you wouldn’t see it by the way Shao Xuan has been maintaining a stoic face. He has an inscrutable look, but his heart was also roaring: What is this!
He did not expect that a bug he had enslaved by practicing the law of slavery would have become such. When it was in Beast City with Shao Xuan, he found that the beetle had called a number of little brothers and has now directly turned it into a bug army.
The two beasts at the moment also did not have their composure. The huge rattlesnake shook its tail to throw off the bugs climbing up it. However, more and more bugs crawled out of the sand, and they also seem to not know how to fear the behemoths as the snake’s tail shook again. It didn’t know what it should do.
Previously, the color of the sand could be seen from some voids, but it wasn’t long before the ground was black and the bright back armor was shining under the light.
The cloaked person looked at the gathered beetles. Even if she was courageous, she believed that the value of this force was great, and now, she couldn’t calm down. Out of fear, she openly kicked the gathered beetles, then swept off a knife to clear the beetles leaping on the back of her beast.
After she had jumped on her beast, the place that she had been standing at before which was previously clear, became covered with waves of black bugs in a blink of an eye.
The stomping of the beast’s hooves that made the underground palace collapse was also useless at this moment. These bugs which had crawled from the ground would not understand the fear of being trampled to death like that.
As Shi Shu looked at the black-pressed beetles as they surged in waves, he thought of something. From a bag he had been carrying, he took out a piece of dried meat, his food that was naturally well prepared for a long journey.
Unlike those that Shao Xuan had eaten which were slightly rough, the dried meat of Shi Shu was thinner, pressed and then prepared into a roll.
Shi Shu unfolded the slice of rolled meat to expand it a little, then ripped off a piece, half a palm large before throwing it out.
The slice of meat fell more than twenty meters away from the snake’s body.
Just then, the slightly calm bug wave instantly surged up, going towards where the meat slice fell. Around the bugs surging up, there was like a wave rising out of thin air, instantly elevating.
Keeping an eye on it, Shi Shu couldn’t help but twitch an eyelid. He was still worried about their emergence. If these beetle army was under their control, he wouldn’t worry too much even if they were vegetarian or ate other things. He himself had seen these beetles in Rock Tomb City when they were active in the dirt. However, the fact he had just seen had completely shattered his luck.
These bugs were really meat-eating.
Shi Shu did not doubt that, if a bound beast was put here and it encountered such an army of beetles, it was tantamount to being thrown out to die. Its end must be the same as the meat just now.
It’s creepy to think about it.
It was clear that a small piece of meat did not satisfy such a number of beetle armies at all. Rather, this made these beetles act more urgent and ferocious.
As if waiting for an attack order, there were more and more beetles circling around the two behemoths like hungry ghosts smelling the scent of food, greedily looking at the food in front of them. If they could speak, at this time, they would probably shout: The wait is over! At the boss’s order, let’s go together, brothers!
The hand of the cloaked person holding a knife shook a little. When walking in the desert, many people were afraid of meeting the dangerous desert monsters, but in her case, the greater threat was the small desert creatures, especially if they were also in a group with large numbers. Even if she had a wide range of knowledge, she had never encountered such a herd of insects.
Talk to them using emotional reasoning, terms and conditions?
That’s ridiculous!
It’s no use saying anything. These bugs didn’t have that much intelligence to understand them.
The only thing you can do was talk to the commander of these bugs!
The cloaked person looked at the herd, then moved his sight to Shao Xuan, and finally, at the blue beetle at Shao Xuan’s foot.
If her bow and arrow had not been dropped before, how would the situation change if she could shot and the blue beetle?
Almost at the moment she had that thought, Shao Xuan looked in her direction.
In the eyes of Shao Xuan, the person covered with the cloak squinted her eyes, then glanced at Shi Shu. Seeing Shi Shu shake his head, she temporarily suppressed the idea down in her heart.
This man was too keen on detecting them! If the trick didn’t work out, the boy might have made a double kill if he had attacked them both. She didn’t want to be moving alone here.
“The movement on the other side of the Colosseum, did you elicit it?” Shi Shu asked in a calm voice.
On that day, many people saw such a black beetle appear in the place where the fighting beasts were held. However, not many people thought deeper into it. After all, in the eyes of most people, such a beetle was too small, always harmless, so no one cared.
Shao Xuan did not refute, but did not admit it either. He just scoffed, “You’re speaking as if you are innocent. The desert war was caused by you, right? You sent someone to kill the Baishi King, didn’t you?”
Shi Shu also just laughed, but did not deny nor admit the accusation.
“Forget it. This is the case today. I did not expect you to have such an ability, but if you have reason to look for me, you can go to Rock Tomb City.” Shi Shu said to Shao Xuan as he threw a golden metal card with the city’s logo.
Originally, he intended passing this to be hard, but things went beyond his expectations. Shi Shu changed his idea as he has always liked to choose in a more favorable direction.
Shao Xuan caught the thrown insignia. “I think I have nothing to look for you for. I will go back to the tribe after I leave and not mix in the wars in your desert.”
Shi Shu asked, not convinced “Did you know why Dao Yu would choose to become a slave, as well as also look down on the tribes, not thinking highly of it?”
Shao Xuan only replied, “All I know is that Dao Yu is a traitor to the tribe and has to be killed.” But did not answer more, waiting for Shi Shu’s next words.
Shi Shu also did not care, soothing the restless giant snake because of the insects. “Because the slave owners will become stronger and the tribe eventually perish.”
Shao Xuan put on an expression of disbelief. “Nonsense!” If it were any other tribesmen, he would probably be furious to hear that at the moment, wouldn’t he?
“I’m not lying about this. I don’t believe you haven’t paid more attention to see if the tribes are getting weaker? Are there problems with some abilities, too?”
Hearing this, Shao Xuan’s first thought was the Rain tribe. Yang Sui had said that, once, their Rain tribe’s shaman was able to ask for rain, but later, this ability has slowly disappeared.
Seeing Shao Xuan’s expression change, Shi Shu’s smile gradually deepened, and continued, “In fact, some people have already noticed it. It was just that they dare not say it.”
Shao Xuan said nothing.
Shi Shu decided to put out another bomb.
“You tribesmen are actually very stupid. You clearly found the facts, but do not want to admit it. Stubborn, conservative, stupid! Not knowing that the longer it takes, the worse it is for them, and the closer you are to perish. The only smart ones were the Flaming Horns tribe. However, only half were smart, while the other half will continue to go to be ruined.”
Shao Xuan’s pupils shrinked, still staring at Shi Shu. Shi Shu talking about the clever half refered to a half of the Flaming Horns? If so, he did not think that who Shi Shu had said was the clever half were referring to today’s Flaming Horns. Therefore, there’s only one possibility left—the other half of the Flaming Horns tribe that was split up thousands of years ago and they had no word of!
Ah-Xuan subtly thinking that the half of the Flaming Horns tribe with him were dumb. No question about it. (つω`*)
