Shao Xuan did not tell others that he had enslaved a bug, and the wormhole in the corner of the house was not sealed.
Originally, he intended to destroy it once the enslavement was successful, but Shao Xuan changed his mind and left the bug alone. However, the bug would appear once a day. Even one day, it pushed a dung ball to Shao Xuan's feet.
Shao Xuan thought at that time, should he kill this bug, or should he kill it?
Probably aware of Shao Xuan's mood, the bug kicked its legs again and pushed the dung ball back into the hole. Since then, it did not push the dung ball out of the hole again, saving the bug's life.
Every day, looking at the guy who pushed the dung ball in front of him, Shao Xuan almost trampled it to death. Fortunately, the bug did not run around the house after that. Except for coming out every day, it did not appear in the house again. Several times, Shao Xuan saw it in the place where the camels were tied.
At first, the bug was not conspicuous. In the Beast City, there were many bugs that came out in the cold. These bugs were more resistant to the cold than their counterparts in other places. They were often seen in the places where the animals were kept. Shao Xuan could point out which one was his slave at a glance from dozens of beetles.
As the days passed, Shao Xuan found that the bug's growth was very fast, much faster than its peers. In less than five days, it had grown more than twice as fast, and even showed signs of continuing to grow.
This bug, in addition to its size, also began to change in appearance. Originally, it was black all over, but now it had become blue.
Shao Xuan also wanted to try to unlock the lock on this slave, but he did not understand the process of unlocking it. He had never seen Su Gu unlock his slaves, so after some consideration, he gave up the idea.
Another five days passed, and the blue on the beetle's body was deeper and purer. It looked like a layer of dark blue armor, reflecting the blue light under Yang Guang's eyes. As for its body size, it changed almost every day, growing even faster.
From the time Shao Xuan succeeded in enslaving it until now, ten days had passed. The beetle, which was not as long as a little finger, had now grown as big as Shao Xuan's fist. Its six feet were like knives with hooks. Shao Xuan saw it roll the dung ball in the camel shed, easily cutting off the weeds and branches around it.
Originally, Shao Xuan was also worried that the beetle would be seen. After all, in such a place, such a big beetle was too special. Unexpectedly, this thing was quite clever. When someone passed by, it quickly hid and slipped into the haystack, leaving the dung ball, which was obviously bigger than the others, there. Fortunately, the slave who took care of the camel did not notice it.
On weekdays, even if this beetle appeared in Shao Xuan's room, it would only be active near the corner of the hole and would not run around. This was Shao Xuan's request. Beyond Shao Xuan's expectation, this beetle was quite obedient, or it could understand some more complex instructions.
In addition to Shao Xuan, Lei and Tuo in the same room naturally knew the existence of this beetle, but they did not know that it was Shao Xuan's slave.
Lei and Tuo were told by Shao Xuan not to kill the beetle. The two men looked at it every time, and they naturally saw the changes of the beetle in their eyes. Although they were puzzled, since Shao Xuan did not want to say more, they did not ask. They wondered if the bug was domesticated by Shao Xuan.
When it lay there motionless, the beetle looked like a piece of sapphire.
"Don't say, it really looks like it." Lei said.
Two days ago, they saw a blue gem in the slave owners' bet. It was not the kind of transparent like the fire hill stone and fire crystal. Now, this beetle looked like that piece of sapphire.
Therefore, when there was no one else, Lei and Tuo jokingly called the bug "sapphire". Shouting, they tacitly agreed. Whether it was a dung ball or not, for Lei and Tuo, they did not mind. They just felt that this bug was very interesting. Sometimes, when they were bored, they would pick up a few thin branches to play with, watching those thin branches being cut into pieces.
On this day, Su Gu and a slave owner in Baishi City had a fight. Shao Xuan's group also followed to watch.
In recent days, Su Gu and several slave owners in Baishi City had a fight. There were wins and losses. Yesterday, he won a desert specialty and rare healing herb. After Su Gu brought it back, he gave it to Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan helped him a lot when he challenged the loot. Therefore, when Su Gu won something, he would also give a little to Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan carried a little of that medicine with him, but not all of it. It was all in the room.
When Shao Xuan's group set off for Beast City, in another place not far from Beast City, there was a stone house in Baishi City's station.
The doors and windows were closed, and only a few small stones gave off a faint light. There was a strange smell in the room, but the three people inside did not care.
"How is it?" On the side, a young man wearing a lot of gem ornaments asked.
Next to a piece of animal skin, another young man was sitting cross-legged. This person's neck had a string of bone ornaments carved into various skulls, and his eyebrows had a gloomy color. When he heard the question of the person next to him, his expression slightly relaxed. "Young master, rest assured."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to open a jar made of animal shells and released the things inside.
He saw a head of soybean-sized ants crawling out of the jar. There were a total of nine of them, all brown and black.
After a few ants came out, they entered from a cave in the house one by one, and soon disappeared.
Seeing this, the young master sat down. "Su Gu should have gone to Beast City to fight at this time. He is certainly not in the house. I just don't know what expression he will have when he comes back and finds that the fire hill stone is missing. Hahaha!"
Because Su Gu won a piece of fire hill stone from Di Sheng of Fire Hill City, he was known by many people. In addition, during this time, he constantly brushed his presence. In the circle of young slave owners, the number of times Su Gu was mentioned was also more. This also made many people unhappy, including the slave owners of Baishi City who had a grudge with Su Gu.
Unfortunately, Su Gu did not take out that piece of fire hill stone for the gambling fight.
In order to teach Su Gu a lesson, the young slave owner deliberately called two people to come over and find a way. At the same time, he also received news that Su Gu did not like to let slaves stay in his room, so there was today's matter.
Thinking of Su Gu's loss of the stone that the Fire Mound City's young master lost, the Baishi City's young master laughed again. If such a stone was lost, Su Gu would certainly lose face among the slave owners!
For this group of young slave owners, face was very important.
In the room, in addition to these two people, there was a third person, but he did not make a sound from beginning to end, just quietly listening to the conversation of the other two people.
Under the ground, a team of nine ants was going from the Baishi City station to the Luoye City station.
