When the Quicksand Beast shoveled its mouth, the other slaves had already fled to the oasis. As soon as the first slave rushed into the oasis, he was kicked by Ai Shi until he vomited blood.
Unexpectedly, such a beast was attracted to the oasis. Ai Shi was so angry that his fists were clenched. If they were not the second young master's people, but his own men, he would have already cut them down.
"Get ready!" Ai Shi shouted.
The guards of the oasis all stared nervously at the other side. The Quicksand Beast could be defeated, but every time they won, they would pay a heavy price.
Over there, the Quicksand Beast that had digested a mouthful of food looked in the direction of the oasis. Its golden eyes stared at the people guarding the edge of the oasis. Even if it was hot weather, at this time, it made people feel like they were in an ice field.
This was a ferocious creature. Yanjiao and the other two people thought.
Staring at the oasis, the Quicksand Beast did not immediately come over, nor did it pull out the other half of its body buried under the sand. Instead, it slowly shook the half of its body that was exposed to the ground, and its head was still slightly moving up and down.
This was not to agree with anything, nor was it counting the number of people, but a signal to attack.
"Be careful!" Ai Shi shouted.
Even if he did not understand this creature, Shao Xuan could intuitively judge the next response. Without the slightest hesitation, when the Quicksand Beast nodded again, he shouted to remind Lei and Tuo, "Retreat!"
Slamming his knees on the ground, Shao Xuan quickly bounced away. At the position where he had just stood, a sand arrow composed of sand shot there, bursting and scattering. The rapidly splashing sand hit the people, like tens of thousands of knives scraping. The slaves who could not avoid it in time could not help but scream.
It was the sand ejected from the Quicksand Beast's mouth. It was the effect of the sand spit out from the shoveled mouth.
Shao Xuan did not need to worry about Lei and Tuo's reaction. Shao Xuan still believed in it. On Su Gu's side, there was Wu Shi to protect him. He had already retreated, so Shao Xuan did not need to worry.
Taking Lei and Tuo to Su Gu's side, Shao Xuan asked, "What are the weaknesses of the Quicksand Beast?"
"Weakness?" Wu Shi did not know. "Generally, when we encounter a Quicksand Beast, we will attack its eyes."
This was also the method they often used when encountering other beasts. As for specifically targeting the weakness of the Quicksand Beast, Wu Shi really did not know. Not only Wu Shi, but the others also didn't know. Even because of the great slave owners' love and high evaluation of the Quicksand Beast's skin and bones, the slaves had deified such a beast. They felt that this was the king of beasts in the desert. It had no absolute weakness and could only be fought with manpower and quantity.
Shao Xuan and the other two looked at each other and felt helpless. They had to find a way to deal with the Quicksand Beast.
When one did not have the power to resist directly, they had to use their wits. Since it was a battle of wits, of course, he had to take advantage of the prey's weakness.
Shao Xuan and the other two watched from the side. After all, this wasn't their territory, so they wouldn't feel bad if it was destroyed. What's more, this was caused by the slave owners and slaves of Luoye City. It had nothing to do with the Yanjiao people.
Over there, Ai Shi had already led people to fight against the Quicksand Beast that attacked the oasis.
The archers wanted to shoot the Quicksand Beast's eyes, but they were always avoided by the Quicksand Beast, who had long been prepared. The hard scales and raised bones around the Quicksand Beast's eyes had a strong protective effect. Its defense was amazing. A series of arrows attacked, but none of them hit its eyes. The arrows were too thin, and the material was only wood and stone. The attack on the Quicksand Beast was limited.
Shao Xuan jumped on the roof of the stone house and looked over there.
Many reptiles did not have such hard scales on their abdomens. However, the Quicksand Beast did not belong to this category. Its slightly lighter abdomen was also covered with a thick layer of defense.
Its long and flat body was nearly twenty meters high. Although it was huge, its movements were flexible. It avoided the attacks of the slaves and constantly harvested the lives of the slaves. Half of its body buried under the sand drove the sand on the ground. It looked like it was in the water, and the sand was lifted up in waves.
The thick spear with a harsh sound pierced through the air and pierced the head of the Quicksand Beast. It did not hit the eyes, but it hit other parts of the head. Even if it could break the protection of the surface scales, for the Quicksand Beast, it was not painful.
The squinted eyes under the protruding eye socket bones revealed only a slit. A golden luster flowed out from this slit. Shao Xuan did not feel any sense of sacredness at all. He only felt that it was tricky.
Some of the desert beasts that were still active around had all disappeared, including the black beetles that were always in front of them. They either ran away or hid deep under the sand.
After the slaves of the oasis guards launched another attack, the Quicksand Beast not only did not leave, but it seemed to be angrier.
Today, the Quicksand Beast seemed to have eaten gunpowder. It stared at the people of the oasis and did not let go. Even if it could not attack for a while, it did not intend to leave.
A hair-raising shriek that sounded like a storm blowing through a narrow gap rang out in front of the oasis.
The Quicksand Beast opened its mouth and screamed. On its neck, there were some folds that were close to the neck. At this moment, these folds were all opened with the Quicksand Beast's screams. The stretching made the original color of these folds a little lighter. The hard scales on the folds, under Yang Guang's gaze, exuded a golden luster. It was like a king lifting his cloak, dazzling people's eyes. Especially the golden horn on its head, it seemed to break through all obstacles, sharp and fierce.
"It's really beautiful!" Su Gu exclaimed next to him.
Hearing Su Gu's exclamation, the blue veins on Shao Xuan's forehead bulged. At this time, he still made such an exclamation. Was his brain filled with sand or was he stupid?
Yanjiao's three people had not seen this fierce beast yet, but they were already alert. This was their intuition and experience of hunting fierce beasts for so many years. When they saw the Quicksand Beast rushing out, they had already raised their vigilance to the highest level. If they encountered such a fierce beast in the mountains, they would not fight, but leave immediately.
Lei and Tuo looked at the battle situation on the edge of the oasis and felt that something was wrong. The Quicksand Beast seemed to have gone mad. Its body had begun to be injured, and some of the scales on its skin were broken by intensive attacks. It even bled, but it did not retreat at all.
Looking at the slaves who had just escaped, the two could not help but think: Did those people take the initiative to provoke and make this Quicksand Beast go mad? Or was the Quicksand Beast irritable, just like a beast?
Shao Xuan did not think about the reason why the Quicksand Beast was so crazy. Wu Shi and Shao Xuan said that the Quicksand Beast was known as the king of all beasts in the desert and had no absolute weakness. However, Shao Xuan still wanted to observe it.
In his mind, the totem's flame weakened and faded, and the egg-shaped shell had lit up. In Shao Xuan's vision, the dazzling Yang Guang, the sand beast, and the land all turned dark.
In Shao Xuan's vision, the Quicksand Beast with a golden luster was now only wrapped in a layer of dense scales.
It had to be said that the Quicksand Beast's defense was almost invulnerable. Its eyes had shrunk into a slit, leaving the slaves with extremely limited opportunities to attack. The rest of the body was covered in hard scales. Even the wrinkles on the neck were covered in fine and dense scales.
If it were not for the slaves' compact and intensive attacks that made it afraid, he was afraid that it would have directly broken through.
