After Su Gu went back, he had people send some unslaughtered food to his residence every day. To the outside world, he would personally slaughter and cook it, but in fact, he was secretly training the method of enslavement.
Practicing again and again, there were successes and failures. As time passed, the success rate of Su Gu's enslavement became higher and higher.
Su Gu fulfilled his promise and wrote some preliminary information about the slave owners on the cloth for Shao Xuan to see.
Shao Xuan transcribed those on the animal skin roll, while also having a preliminary understanding of several major cities in the desert and the major slave owners in each city.
On the sixth day of Shao Xuan's prediction, a sandstorm came. Before this, there were no signs at all.
Su Gu stood on the high platform of the palace, looking at the turbid sandstorm in the distance that was quickly approaching. His heart was even more afraid of the tribal shaman.
It was always easy to be afraid of the unknown and ununderstood things. In particular, such a profession was extremely rare in the city of many slave owners.
The sandstorm swept the entire city in an instant. In the sandstorm, large particles of sand were close to the surface, washing everything near the ground. People standing in the sandstorm would suffer a needle-like attack. Even some creatures covered with scales were unwilling to bear such pain. They would try their best to drill under the sand to avoid the attack of the surface sand.
The lighter dust was rolled higher by the wind, covering the sky and the sun.
The Yanjiao trio, who had long been prepared, stayed in the house, closed the doors and windows, and listened to the sound outside.
Outside the house, the camel "Mud" stood in the wind in the sandstorm, a tuft of hair on its head flying with the wind. They were a species that had long adapted to life in the desert. Even in this kind of sandstorm, they were not scared. Some of them could even walk freely in such a sandstorm.
When they heard the roar of the beasts outside, Shao Xuan's trio rushed out with their equipment.
Some of the beasts in the sandstorm had crossed the outer city wall and broke through the outer defense into the city.
The people from the other tribes did not come out unless they saw the sandstorm beasts rushing to their doorsteps. However, the three from Yanjiao were different. They had been holding it in for the past few days, and it was rare for them to find something to vent their frustrations. For people who had been used to hunting since childhood, their hands were itchy after not hunting for so long. They felt like their bones were rusty after not moving for three days.
Were the beasts in the sandstorm dangerous?
Danger.
But the Yanjiao people weren't afraid. They had encountered more dangerous beasts before. Encountering such a situation only made them happy. Moreover, after killing those Sandstorm Beasts, they could be eaten as food. Even if there wasn't much meat, they could still make bone soup.
If other people knew what the three Yanjiao men were thinking, they would think that the Yanjiao men were crazy.
Shao Xuan and the other two didn't fight the sandstorm beasts recklessly. They cooperated with each other to deal with the beasts, just like how they cooperated to hunt in the forest.
Low visibility? It was fine as long as his hearing was normal. He could still make out the sounds of the sandstorm beasts moving about in the sandstorm.
Chacha, who had finally moved here, also caught some as rations.
When the sandstorm was over and everything was calm again, the people around saw that near the Yanjiao's "embassy", there were sandstorm beasts with their stomachs cut open and about to dry out.
The slaves and slave owners of Luoye City changed their view of the three Yanjiao men again. They were fierce, fierce, and had a big appetite.
On the tenth day, Luoye City was restored to its former appearance.
The people of the tribes were doing their own things, coming and going in a hurry.
Shao Xuan knew that these tribes had something to hide from the Yanjiao, but it didn't matter. He would figure out what these people were hiding.
On the day that Shao Xuan and Su Gu agreed on, Shao Xuan and the other two were ready to go.
This time, they didn't intend to take the camel. Su Gu sent someone to take care of the camel, while Shao Xuan left with Chacha. After holding back for so long, Chacha should go outside to relax, although there was a vast desert outside.
In these ten days, Su Gu's enslavement ability was getting stronger and stronger. He felt that he could almost enslave slaves. However, before he had enough assurance, he would not enslave slaves in the city for the time being.
After half a year, Su Gu went out of the city again. This time, he only took Wu Shi, plus Shao Xuan and the other two, a total of five people.
The oasis that Su Gu said belonged to his father, the king of Luoye City. It was said that it was robbed from other slave owners a long, long time ago. Until now, there were some people who wanted to rob the oasis, but they were all beaten back. Resources were all robbed and then defended by strength. When there was no strength, they could not defend it, and they had to change people.
From Luoye City to the oasis, it took about two days to walk. If they traveled light and walked fast, they could arrive in one day.
This time, they did not bring much luggage. Shao Xuan and the others' strength was also there. They did not find it too difficult to hurry through the desert. They only needed to guard against the beasts that appeared in the desert.
They did not know if it was because the sandstorm had just passed, but the desert was still calm. What they saw were sand dunes that stretched like waves. As far as the eye could see, there seemed to be no signs of life.
After leaving the city, Su Gu told Shao Xuan the purpose of this trip. Although Su Gu told the other people in the city that he wanted to go to the oasis to relax and let the three people from Yanjiao be his bodyguards, in fact, he just wanted to find something, a beautiful stone, as a birthday gift from Su Gu to his father.
Luoye City King Su Lun's birthday was coming soon. Su Gu decided that this time, he would brush his presence in front of his father so that he could ask for more resources. There were many slaves in the city who had not yet recognized their masters. They were all prepared by the Luoye City King to reward other slave owners. Because Su Gu did not have the ability to enslave, the Luoye City King did not send him any unrecognized slaves. This time, Su Gu decided to seize the opportunity to pick one. Slaves also had advantages and disadvantages.
"A stone? What kind of stone? "Shao Xuan was curious. What kind of stone would it be that Su Gu was so concerned about it, and even sent it as a birthday gift for the Luoye City King?
Su Gu's eyes were full of yearning. He had found the stone before, but at that time, he was not strong enough and did not intend to take it out. Now, in order to seize the opportunity, he decided to find the hidden stone again.
"It's so beautiful that it's unbelievable. It's the most beautiful thing in the world." Su Gu's eyes looked into the distance, as if recalling the intoxicated feeling when he first saw the stone.
Before arriving at the oasis, under Su Gu's strong request, Shao Xuan signed a treaty with him, swearing by the Yanjiao totem that he would not covet the stone. Of course, Shao Xuan also got a lot of benefits from Su Gu.
For the people of Yanjiao, even if it was the jade of the Mang tribe, the attraction was limited. In Lei and Tuo's mind, the stone was best used as a weapon. It was purely for ornamental purposes. What was the use? Could it hunt?
Therefore, for what Su Gu said, Lei and Tuo did not care at all. Shao Xuan was even more curious. What did the stone look like that it could make this "knowledgeable" slave owner, who had enjoyed a luxurious life since childhood, so fascinated?
Finally, when they were about to reach their destination, Su Gu stopped.
Shao Xuan looked around. There were no mountains here, only tall sand dunes. The water of the oasis in the distance seemed to come from the ground. The place where Su Gu hid the stone was not in the oasis, but in a place outside the oasis.
Looking at the high sand dunes and the surroundings, Su Gu judged the position and then rushed to somewhere between two high sand dunes, where he began to dig.
Shao Xuan's three people and Wu Shi also came to help.
Too much time had passed, and there were some changes here. It was quite difficult to dig things out.
Fortunately, Su Gu's memory was good, and he also roughly judged the place where he buried the stone. After digging for a long time, they finally dug a wooden box buried in the ground.
"All of you, turn around and look around!" Su Gu panted, his eyes showing his vigilance.
"I can't take a look?" Shao Xuan asked.
Su Gu tangled for a moment, but then he remembered that Shao Xuan had signed a treaty with him. He also swore by the tribe's valued totem. Then he thought about the help Shao Xuan gave him. Su Gu was silent. This was the tacit agreement that Shao Xuan could take a look.
Su Gu carefully took the box on the ground out of the sand, gently brushed away the sand outside the wooden box, and then opened the wooden box.
Inside was something wrapped in linen. Including the piece of linen that was wrapped, it was only the size of a fist. The stone inside was even smaller.
After taking out the thing inside, Su Gu's eyes seemed to only have the dazzling thing under Yang Guang.
Seeing the thing in Su Gu's hand, Shao Xuan's eyelids jumped. He really did not expect to see it here.
For a long time in the past, Shao Xuan thought that he would not see it in this world. But now, it appeared in front of Shao Xuan's eyes.
Looking at Su Gu who was already intoxicated, Shao Xuan wanted to say: Turtle Three, that is not a stone, but gold.
