Above the desert, the team of Luoye City had been walking towards the target.
The team of more than two thousand people was comparable to the previous Yanjiao tribe's entire tribe.
In the middle of the team, a huge beast was walking with tortoise steps. Shao Xuan could clearly hear the friction between its huge claws and the yellow sand.
There were also some beasts around that were led by the slaves. Sometimes, when they saw an active desert beast not far away, they would make a ruckus and then be violently suppressed. Even the one that Su Gu was riding needed Su Gu to suppress and appease from time to time. In contrast, among the beasts in the team, the quietest and calmest was probably the camel that Shao Xuan and the other two were riding. It was not known if they were really calm, or if their nerve reflexes were slow.
The air was no longer as hot as it was at the beginning, and there was still some coolness in the afternoon.
This was the tenth day since they left Luoye City.
Among the slaves walking in the team, there were also some who couldn't bear it and fell down for various reasons. Basically, they couldn't get up after falling down. In the slave owner's team, there was a fixed rule. Those who fell down and could not get up in a short time would all be fed to the beasts.
The tribe had never been so cruel. Even if Shao Xuan and the other two were not used to it at first, the days gradually passed and they became numb. This was the rule of the slave world. It was not known if those who died for various reasons would regret their original choice before they closed their eyes.
"We're almost there!" Su Gu whispered to Shao Xuan and the other two.
Over a tall old sand dune, they stood on the sand ridge and looked around. Between the yellow undulating sand, there were many white places, which were snow.
The wind that blew in his face was still cold and frothy.
"This … It's snowing here?!" Lei looked at the place in front of him in surprise. He thought that in such a place, in such a season, even if the temperature was low, there would be no snow. After all, in his impression, the desert was a hot and dry place during the day. But now, his impression was overturned.
"What about the city? I only see the desert. "Tuo looked into the distance. Apart from the snowy desert, he saw nothing else.
"The Beast City is still some distance from here, but it already belongs to the scope of the Beast Fighting Desert." Su Gu told the three of them what he knew.
Although there was a lot of snow in this area, the air here was still dry. The air was too cold and dry to melt the snow on the ground, so the snow directly evaporated into water vapor.
However, snow was the only source of water in this Beast Fighting Desert. The walking beasts bowed their heads from time to time to nibble on the snow to quench their thirst. They could open their stomachs to drink water, but they could not eat the snow. Nibbling too much snow at one time would make them sick or even die. Therefore, the people and beasts in the group would pick up some snow from the ground and chew on it after walking for a while. There was no shortage of "water" here, but it was too cold. Those with weak constitutions would not be able to withstand it.
Some birds could be seen flying in the sky in the distance, but they were not wild birds. They were domesticated birds from other cities. They were probably scouting the surroundings to see which teams had arrived.
Shao Xuan was listening to Su Gu talk about the desert when he heard an eagle's cry in the air. Only Chacha.
"Someone is coming." Shao Xuan said.
Su Gu believed in Chacha's judgment. Saying "someone is coming" here, it must be in the form of a large team.
"Which city?" Su Gu wondered.
Next to him, Wu Shi thought of something and his face changed. He walked a few steps and went around to the other side to face the team.
"Third Young Master, be careful. They may be people from Baishi City." Wu Shi said.
Baishi City and Luoye City's walking routes and destinations were not the same, but if the routes of the two sides were compared, one would find that there was an intersection. At this moment, they were just at the intersection.
It was really a narrow road for enemies.
The team was still moving forward at the original speed. The people of Luoye City would not avoid meeting old enemies. In that case, they would be regarded as afraid. Where would the king's face go?
Above the ridge in the distance, there was a team's shadow.
"Roar —"
A beastly roar that sounded like muffled thunder came from that direction. Even from such a distance, they could feel the impact of a heavy hammer.
"It's the Baishi King's riding beast." Su Gu said. He still had some impression of that cry.
The huge figure of the Luoye City King's riding beast finally appeared in everyone's sight. Similar to the team on the Luoye City side, there were many other beasts of different sizes around the king's riding beast. Some were pulled by the slaves for the Beast City, while others were the slave owners' mounts.
"Xuan." Tuo and Lei looked at Shao Xuan.
"Let's take a look first."
Shao Xuan knew what they were going to say. Yanjiao's traitor was likely to be in that team.
The two teams' walking routes were almost in an "X" shape, and at the moment, they were at the intersection. The other side seemed to speed up a little, not wanting to miss this side.
As the two sides got closer and closer, the fighting beasts on both sides seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. No matter how many slaves pulled them, they bared their teeth and roared at the other team, as if they wanted to rush up and bite.
As they got closer, both teams began to be alert. Shao Xuan saw that the slaves of Luoye City had picked up wooden and stone shields, and the archers were also ready.
Was this … a fight before entering the city?
Shao Xuan motioned for Lei and Tuo to pay attention. The slaves of Luoye City would protect the slave owners, but they would not care about the three of them.
"Roar —"
Another beast roared. Because this time it was closer, it was deafening, and the impact was stronger.
"Roar —"
The Luoye City King's riding beast was not willing to fall behind and roared back.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Almost at the same time, from both teams, hundreds of arrows were shot. Among them, there were also spears with greater impact.
The senior slaves guarded the slave owners' sides, and the slaves of the slave owners also seized the opportunity to show their loyalty. The more dangerous the situation, the more opportunities there were. The newly enslaved slaves around Su Gu were like this. They could not wait to squeeze in and block for Su Gu. Wherever they saw an arrow, they would gather there. They were afraid that when the chaos was over, there would be no arrow on their wooden shields. There would be no trace left, which meant that they did not do their best.
Because they all went to the slave owners' side, Shao Xuan's side immediately became empty.
Shao Xuan supported himself with one hand on the camel's back. His body jumped from the camel's back and flipped over. His other hand waved the stone knife in his hand, picking up the arrows that were shot over.
After picking up a round, Shao Xuan did not continue to stay on the camel's back. After landing, he blocked the arrows that were shot over. He did not like to use a shield, and in such a situation with such a degree of attack, using a shield would make him feel restrained. This was a habit that the Yanjiao people had developed.
Holding the knife, Shao Xuan's eyes were cold. The stone knife that he quickly waved seemed to explode into a group of gray light. In an instant, everything around him was shrouded in it. Not a single arrow was shot in, and if people were involved, they would undoubtedly suffer a bloody storm of blade killings.
The camel behind Shao Xuan was still holding its neck high, calmly looking around. In its spare time, it was in the mood to lower its neck to turn over some snow on the ground.
