Shao Xuan was in the Baishi Desert where Baishi City was located. He met two groups of people patrolling outside, but looking at their absent-minded appearance, he wanted to know the situation in Baishi City. Moreover, according to the information that Shao Xuan learned, in the past, the patrols outside Baishi City were much stricter than they were now. The patrolling people would not be in such a listless state.
However, it was also understandable.
For the slaves, Baishi City was now a very critical time. The death of the big slave owner meant that their biggest master was gone. Who would take over, who would become their next master, everything was still uncertain. They were full of worries about the future development.
Easily avoiding these absent-minded guards, Shao Xuan also paid attention to some creatures around, such as birds, small beasts, and so on. They could be another "eye" of the Baishi people. Who knew if there would be people enslaving insects in Baishi City? It was better to be careful.
After arriving at a large rock, this rock looked like a mushroom with a large umbrella-like top. This was because during the sandstorm, large grains of sand scraped closer to the ground, slowly grinding away the parts of the rock that were close to the ground. That was why it looked like this.
Hiding below, Shao Xuan temporarily did not have to worry about being discovered by the birds above. Near night, there were no people patrolling around. Going forward, he would soon reach Baishi City. Shao Xuan intended to take a rest first.
Drinking some water to restore his physical strength, Shao Xuan thought about the plan to mix into Baishi City. As he was thinking, his brows wrinkled. He had been thinking about how to mix into Baishi City, but the premise was that Dao Yu was in Baishi City. But what if Dao Yu was not? What would he do in the city?
Thinking about it, Shao Xuan cut a section of the reins from the camel. He intended to use this section of the rope to calculate the position of Dao Yu, but he did not know if it would be successful.
After the divination was completed, Shao Xuan opened his eyes and looked at the knot in his hand. He read the conclusion above and compared it to distinguish the position. His fingers drew on the ground and finally determined the indicated position. However, this direction was not the direction of White Stone City.
No matter what, Shao Xuan decided to go and take a look.
Fortunately, he had done a divination before sneaking into Baishi City. Otherwise, it would have been a waste of time.
After changing directions, Shao Xuan quickly headed in the direction indicated by the conclusion. Without Chacha's help, Shao Xuan's speed in the desert slowed down, but it wasn't slow either.
As they walked, Shao Xuan discovered that they were already out of the White Rock Desert. At such a critical time in Baishi City, Dao Yu was not in the city. What was he doing running so far away?
Shao Xuan continued to move in that direction. He only rested for a short while during the night before continuing his search until he arrived at a certain place.
This place looked no different from any other place in the desert. As far as the eye could see, there were sand dunes of varying heights. Even the relatively flat areas looked like the surface of a lake that had been disturbed by the wind.
The wind here was slightly stronger, causing sand and dust to fly.
Shao Xuan looked at the mountain-like sand dunes in front of him and then looked around. He didn't see anything suspicious, but according to the conclusion, it should be around here. Did he have to continue moving forward?
Not only because of the conclusion, Shao Xuan also had a very strange feeling. He always felt that there should be something here.
Continuing to move forward, climbing up the mountain-like sand dunes, the strange feeling in his heart became even more intense.
In Shao Xuan's mind, the "shell" wrapped in the fire flashed. Such a change made Shao Xuan stop.
Just as Shao Xuan was puzzled, he suddenly heard a soft sound. Although it was the sound of the surrounding wind blowing the sand, after Shao Xuan's upgrade, his hearing had also increased. He could distinguish other sounds from those noises. It was obviously not the sound of sand blowing.
Shao Xuan quickly lay down on the ground and pulled his hood up. He looked in the direction of the sound.
The sound was very soft in the sand, like the sound of stones being moved. It was very careful, as if the person who made the sound was on guard against something.
Shao Xuan lay there patiently and stared in the direction of the sound.
The surrounding sand blew against Shao Xuan's body, quickly covering him in a layer.
Soon, Shao Xuan discovered that between the two sand dunes in front of him, there was a crack in the ground, and the sand was sinking in.
The gap grew wider and wider until it was wide enough for one person to pass through. Only then did Shao Xuan see a person quickly jump out from the gap. The person looked around cautiously, but didn't find anything. Only then did he wave downwards.
Shao Xuan saw a person come out from the crack. It seemed that someone was helping to deliver the person underground. However, after the reckless person was handed out, the crack in the ground closed.
The person who came out first looked around, then dragged the reckless person into the distance.
Shao Xuan thought for a moment and walked along the ridge under the cover of the sand. Although he couldn't follow closely, he could at least see where the person went.
The person walked a distance and went around to the back of a hill. Then, he dug a hole in the sand with his hands and pushed the person in. Before burying the person, he took off all the clothes of the person who was pushed into the hole and compared them with his own body. It seemed that he wanted to keep them for his own use.
The man put away the clothes he had taken off and filled the hole with sand. He looked around before returning to where he had come from.
Shao Xuan watched as the person returned to the place where he came out. He pushed away the sand that had covered the hole and knocked on the stone slab.
After the stone slab was moved away, the person said something to the person below and went down through the crack.
The stone slab closed again, and everything returned to normal. The wind quickly carried the sand and covered the place, making it impossible to see anything unusual.
Shao Xuan remembered the place and came to the place where the person had just dug the hole to bury the person. He pushed away the sand and saw the buried person.
Previously, the person was dragged face down, so Shao Xuan couldn't see his appearance. He could only see that it was a person. Now, Shao Xuan found that the person not only had a face, but also had many festering necrosis on his body. It looked very scary, and there were also traces of bleeding from his nostrils and other places.
Shao Xuan couldn't see how the person's injuries were caused. There were no tattoos on his face. If there were no festering wounds, he should be a tall and muscular man. In the desert, even if he was a low-level slave, he was still a good laborer.
What was under that place? Shao Xuan was very curious. If Dao Yu was here, what was his purpose?
Shao Xuan lurked around, waiting for an opportunity.
Around noon the next day, the desert weather was hot. Shao Xuan was still hiding behind the sand ridge. His body had been covered with a layer of sand. Not caring about the heat of the sand, Shao Xuan stared at the other side. He heard a little movement.
Soon, the place opened again and another person came out. It was not the one Shao Xuan saw last night, but he did the same thing.
After the other person came out, he also dragged the person to the distance, intending to dig a hole to bury the person. Shao Xuan's sudden appearance startled him. Before he could make a sound, he was grabbed by the throat and his two arms were removed.
Shao Xuan looked at the slave lines that appeared and disappeared on his body and found that this person was a slave of Baishi.
