Dao Yu, this was a name that Shao Xuan had not heard for a long time, but he had always remembered it deeply.
This was one of the few people on the Yanjiao tribe's must-kill list. Originally, he used his people to betray and murder Yan Zhi and other Yanjiao wanderers, and then fled without a trace. After the Yanjiao tribe returned to the old haunt, the chief and the shaman sent people out several times. They had secretly told several leaders that if they met Dao Yu, they would kill him without mercy. However, Dao Yu seemed to have disappeared. Some people even speculated that the traitor had died. After all, he was just a wanderer.
Shao Xuan did not expect to hear this name again now.
"Dao Yu is here?" Shao Xuan's face was serious.
Next to him, Lei and Tuo also heard about Dao Yu. They remembered the chief and the shaman's instructions and resolutely executed it. When they heard this, they also put away other thoughts and wanted to cut the traitor on the spot.
Seeing the reaction of Shao Xuan and the other two, Su Gu's heart was clear. In order to prevent misunderstandings, he quickly denied, "No, we don't have any tribal expellees in Luoye City. Many tribal traitors, after being expelled from the tribe, will seek refuge with our slave owners. There used to be some in Luoye City, but after father cooperated with the tribes, those people were handed over to the tribes as a gift to the tribes. "
Looking at Shao Xuan's face, Su Gu continued, "However, while Luoye City is like this, the other cities are not. There are constantly people abandoned by the tribes who enter the desert city and become high-level slaves under the slave owners. Although every time the tribe's team comes to the desert, they will look for those expellees and hunt them down. However, the results are minimal. After all, the desert is the territory of our slave owners. "
Su Gu's words were meant to tell the three people in Yanjiao to calm down and not be impulsive. If they really wanted to chase them down, the traitor would not be killed, but they themselves would be cut down.
"Dao Yu is not an expelled totem warrior. He is a wanderer." Shao Xuan said. However, Su Gu's face was still blank. He couldn't tell the difference between expellees and wanderers. He no longer elaborated, but asked, "Where is Dao Yu now?"
"I didn't know before, but I just asked Ai Shi. He said that he saw Dao Yu in the Beast City last year." Su Gu said. In the past, he only thought about how to avoid the trap his two brothers had dug, how to survive, and how to improve his ability to enslave. He didn't pay attention to other things. Now that he was cooperating with Yanjiao and involved Yanjiao, he naturally paid more attention to the details.
"Beast City?" Shao Xuan heard of it for the first time. He only knew that there were several cities ruled by slave owners in the desert. However, in the information that Su Gu gave him before, there was no such name as "Beast City".
"It's not a city ruled by a slave owner, but a place where the slave owners play every year." Su Gu explained to the three Yanjiao people.
Beast City was deep in the desert. It was a place built by the three largest slave owners in the desert for leisure time. Later, they felt that there were only three parties, so they called the slave owners of other cities in the desert to come over and have fun together.
Beast City, as the name implied, was a place for fighting beasts. Many slave owners would bring their own domesticated beasts to fight in the Beast City with the other slave owners' domesticated beasts.
"Dao Yu represented Baishi City in the Beast City and defeated one of his father's ferocious beasts." Su Gu said.
"Wait, in the Beast City, why would Dao Yu play?" Shao Xuan asked.
"Dao Yu is the other side's' beast '." Su Gu's face took it for granted. "There are many slaves who, in order to please the slave owners and prove their value, will take the initiative to play. If they win, they can get more benefits from the slave owners, such as removing a layer of shackles."
When the slave masters first enslaved the slaves, although they gave them another ability, they also put shackles on them, locking their way to a higher place. If they wanted to improve, they had to let the enslaved slave owners unlock them.
Removing a layer of shackles meant that the slave had the opportunity to improve. Of course, even for slaves, there were different qualifications. The slave owners were like kindling, giving the slaves a talent. To what extent they could exert this talent, it could only depend on themselves.
Su Gu's words gave a lot of information, which Shao Xuan remembered in his heart. As for Dao Yu …
From a wanderer who did not have much power, he could cheat the tribe's materials. After becoming a slave, he could safely climb to a higher position and gain greater ability. Obviously, he was not a simple character. Even though there may be a reason for the Yanjiao wanderer's talent, at the same time, it could be seen that Dao Yu was cunning, vicious, and had a heart. At the beginning, he did not hesitate to cheat Yan Zhi and the others who helped him until they had nothing, so they knew his character.
However, for such a person to become a slave, would he really be single-minded?
"I heard that many people want Yanjiao people as slaves. However, the number of Yanjiao people who become slaves is not many." Su Gu said.
"Not many means that in addition to Dao Yu, there are other Yanjiao descendants who choose to be slaves?" Shao Xuan frowned.
"It seems so." Su Gu was not sure. He had not seen it with his own eyes, just heard about it. Seeing the ugly faces of Shao Xuan and the other two, Su Gu originally wanted to say that he also wanted to be a Yanjiao slave, but he did not say it. The tribe's people seemed to be very repulsive to slaves. Well, it was better not to mention it.
"Those traitors! Shame! " Lei was very angry at the Yanjiao people who became slaves, especially Dao Yu. Not only did he murder the tribe, but he also became a slave!
Seeing that Lei could not wait to immediately cut him with a knife, Tuo quickly pulled him back. Although his heart was angry, Tuo understood the situation of the three people.
According to Su Gu's words, Dao Yu seemed to be a Baishi person, and among the slaves there, his status was not low. If the three of them rashly went there, they really would not get a good result.
"Baishi's relationship with us is not good. Ai Shi suspected that the things that happened in the city some time ago were done by Baishi, and also suspected Dao Yu. So when he heard about the Yanjiao people, he was somewhat on guard." Su Gu explained.
"Yes." Shao Xuan nodded. This could be understood, but Dao Yu, this person, was too big a threat. He could not hesitate to kill Yanjiao people, and outside, he always made Yanjiao hate him. Such a person, it was better to get rid of him as soon as possible.
As he spoke, Shao Xuan heard the cry of an eagle outside.
"There's a situation!" Shao Xuan ran out and looked at the sky.
"What's the matter?" Su Gu saw the three Yanjiao people looking dignified, and his heart was uneasy.
Not far away, Ai Shi, who was guarding the oasis' spring and supervising the water delivery, also came over. "Young Master, what happened?"
Su Gu did not answer, but looked at Shao Xuan. He himself did not know what happened.
Shao Xuan looked at the eagle in the sky and raised his finger to one side. "There's a situation in that direction."
Ai Shi looked at the eagle in the sky, paused, and quickly went to call the other slaves to be on guard.
Could it be that they were robbing the oasis? Ai Shi thought.
It was no wonder that Ai Shi was so suspicious. Although this oasis was not big, oases were precious enough in the desert. Many of the wars and contradictions between cities were because of oases.
"Jia-"
The eagle in the sky cried again, which was another reminder.
"They're coming!" Shao Xuan said.
Everyone looked at the sand dunes in the distance. On the rolling sand dunes, there were several moving black spots. Those were people running. Those people were shouting and running toward the oasis.
"Those are the slaves of Luoye City!" Su Gu's eyes were good. After the slaves ran closer and closer, he distinguished them. "They are second brother's slaves. I've seen the person in front. A few days ago, I heard that he was ordered by second brother to go out of the city. "
At that time, Su Gu wanted to inquire about what his second brother was going to do, but he could not find out. Those people disappeared after leaving the city, and the people Su Gu sent to follow them returned without success. He did not expect to see them here.
"There seems to be something terrible chasing behind them." Lei said. He could feel the fast-approaching crisis, like encountering a powerful beast in the mountains. There was a kind of chill that made people's teeth tremble.
"Xuan." Tuo looked at Shao Xuan, his eyes asking how to react later.
Shao Xuan made a gesture, which meant to quietly watch during the hunt. After all, this was not the Yanjiao tribe, but the slave owners' territory. They did not need to fight desperately.
As the slaves ran closer and closer, Shao Xuan saw that on the sand, there was sand flowing. It seemed that something under the sand was shuttling quickly and circling to the front of the slaves.
Boom!
In front of the slaves, the sand burst open, and a huge figure rushed out from under the sand.
Rough scales with thorns covered the whole body. Its round pupils locked on the people running on the sand. On the upper half of its body, it opened its big mouth like a python about to swallow its prey. Even its neck swelled up, and its big mouth with sharp teeth was like a shovel. After falling, it suddenly turned sideways.
In the blink of an eye, the four slaves, along with the sand on the ground, were shoveled into the mouth of the giant beast.
"Quicksand Beast! It's a Quicksand Beast! "On the oasis side, a slave screamed.
Quicksand Beasts were said to be able to make quicksand, so they were given this name. At the same time, some people called them the King of Beasts in the desert, not only because of their huge body and powerful attack power, but also because of their sand-like body.
Their skin, blood, bones, and so on were the color of yellow sand. Especially their horns, the color was very similar to gold. The slave owners were very fond of using their skin and bones to make utensils, especially the golden horn. Many big slave owners used it to make crowns.
However, in the desert, Quicksand Beasts were not common. When they appeared, it was only to hunt, and humans were not on its main diet. Therefore, many times, Quicksand Beasts would not take the initiative to hunt humans. They probably felt that humans were too small, not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth, so they did not want to waste time hunting. Now, this angry Quicksand Beast had been chasing the slaves. The most likely situation was that the slaves took the initiative to provoke it.
"I know, second brother wants to hunt the Quicksand Beast for father as a birthday gift!" Su Gu shouted.
The second young master of Luoye City sent slaves out to hunt the Quicksand Beast. Now it seemed that the people sent out not only did not succeed in the hunt, but were also chased by the Quicksand Beast. Now, it also involved the people of the oasis.
