The further they went, the less dense the fog around them. However, it was still there. Unlike the places he had been to before, there were fewer small beasts active here, and the atmosphere was not as harmless as before. It was full of quiet tension.
Shao Xuan tied up the animal skin bag and held the only short knife in his hand. He stepped lightly and cautiously forward.
At this moment, Shao Xuan heard voices.
He had not seen anyone for a long time, and now he finally heard people's voices. Although he was vigilant, Shao Xuan's heart relaxed a lot. It was good that there were people. He was afraid that this was just an uninhabited land.
With a change of direction, Shao Xuan went in the direction of the voices. The fog there was thicker.
Listening carefully, there were two people's voices. Moreover, Shao Xuan could understand what they were saying. The language here was more inclined to the language used by the slave owners. This also proved that the slave owners back then might have really passed through here.
Once again proving a guess, Shao Xuan was in a better mood.
The two people seemed to be collecting dew, as well as some plants that absorbed the dew.
"Is this enough?" A young woman dressed in coarse cloth looked at the basket she was carrying and asked the person next to her.
The young man standing next to her, vigilantly looking around, quickly glanced at the basket, shook his head and said, "Look for more. It hasn't rained for a long time. If it continues like this, it will be difficult."
"That's true. Then look for more. Be careful of your surroundings."
"I know … … Be careful! Back off! " The young man took two steps forward, blocking the woman behind him. He held a long, strange-looking knife in his hand and looked not far away.
Not far from them, some sand and stones were moving slowly, making a subtle rustling sound. Below, something was squirming.
But soon, the movement suddenly became louder. The other party seemed to know that they had been discovered and no longer hid. A long line protruded from the ground, and with a puff, like a spray of water vapor, the sand and stones on the ground rolled up, and the protruding line formed a long dragon.
A dark brown giant insect that was more than three meters wide and ten meters long rushed out from the ground. It had many legs, and its body was segmented and covered with hard plates like armor. It quickly came towards the two people.
The young man's body suddenly erupted with an aura, and with this aura, some earth-colored lines appeared on his body. This was a totem warrior.
The giant worm stood up like a snake and attacked the two of them. It seemed to have noticed that the man was more difficult to deal with. After two unsuccessful attacks, it changed its target and went around the young man. It bared its fangs and attacked the woman who was holding the basket tightly.
Although the young woman was a little weaker in terms of combat power, she was also good at running away. If she didn't have the ability to run for her life, it would be impossible for her to survive here. However, under the giant insect's attack, she was very embarrassed. There was a lot of fog around, and the ground was not flat, which reduced her speed. If she slipped, her speed would be greatly reduced, and it would affect her escape.
Seeing that the giant insect had changed its target, the young man was anxious. He ran over, trying to stop the giant insect before it attacked. Even if he couldn't stop it, he had to attract the attention of the giant insect.
Just when the two people were anxious, there was a bang. The giant insect that was about to attack the young woman was suddenly hit by a big stone.
Probably not expecting to be attacked like this, the giant insect was stunned and didn't know what was going on. Before it could recover, another rock came crashing down. This time, the force was stronger, fiercer, and more accurate. It directly hit its two open fangs, causing it to almost fall over.
When the giant insect stabilized.
Crack!
A tooth fell from the giant insect's mouth.
The other tooth of the giant insect wasn't so bad, but it was still hurt. Even if its body was hard, it couldn't withstand one big stone after another, not to mention that it lost a tooth. How could it continue like this?
There was no sound, but the giant insect's actions showed that it was angry. No one would be able to remain calm if a tooth was smashed off while hunting.
Abandoning its original prey, the giant insect turned to look for the source of the stone. It had already sensed the location of the person who threw the stone. The vision of the average person was limited in this kind of fog, but the giant insect was different. It could even accurately find prey within a few hundred meters in the thicker fog.
The furious giant insect rushed in the direction of Shao Xuan. Originally, it thought that the little guy who threw the stone would definitely run away when he saw it coming, so it would have to spend some effort to chase him. However, the reality was completely different. The person who threw the stone not only didn't run away, but also rushed straight in its direction. Looking at the momentum of the rush, it was not afraid at all.
Shao Xuan hadn't hunted for a long time. He had been repeating the boring activities at the bottom of the sea: eating, drinking, sleeping, running. As a Yanjiao, he probably yearned for the exciting hunting life in the mountains. After coming ashore, his hands began to itch. When he saw the group of camel beasts, he almost made a move. If it wasn't for the fact that he needed to recover his strength, he would have done it long ago. Now that he saw the scene in front of him, of course he had to make a move.
The totemic power in his body exploded. At this moment, Shao Xuan could even hear the powerful beating of his heart, like the beating of war drums before a battle, encouraging him. His blood was surging, and every part of his body was filled with a sense of impatience.
How long had it been since he felt this way?
After a long silence, Shao Xuan once again found the carefree and hot-blooded feeling he had when he was hunting in the mountains with the same tribesmen. His strength, unwilling to be silent, became fierce, like the waves of the sea, as if it was going to sweep everything away. Every step he took on the ground made a roaring sound, like a heavy beast's paw slapping the ground. Compared to the two people before, Shao Xuan at this moment was more like a fierce beast living in the mountains.
It was refreshing to stretch out with full strength, then retract, then suddenly explode in the next moment.
Just as the giant worm stood up and was about to attack, Shao Xuan stomped on the ground. The sand and stones under his feet exploded, and the air was blown into the air by this stomp. Much of the fog was dispersed.
The tyrannical force propelled his body forward, and Shao Xuan rushed towards the giant worm like a cannonball. He broke through the fog and kicked the giant worm's throat. That was where the giant worm's fangs and two long forelimbs could not reach.
The giant worm had actually felt Shao Xuan's aura before it attacked, and hesitated. But it was too late to do anything now. Retreat? There was no way to retreat!
Even if it felt that something was wrong, what could it do? Shao Xuan's kick was faster than the giant worm's, and it had no time to react!
Bang!
The sound of the collision was like a huge hammer hitting a mountain rock, and it sounded in this world shrouded in white fog.
Taking advantage of the giant worm's change of target, the young man from before took the girl a little further away. Then, he turned back to look at the giant worm. At first, he was still thinking about who had come to help them so that he could immediately return to fight with the other party. However, when he turned his head, he saw the clear body of the worm flying out of the fog with a loud bang that made their hearts skip a beat …
Flying …
The eyelids of the two young men twitched at the same time, and they even had the urge to rub their eyes to see if it was an illusion brought on by the fog.
After landing, the long body of the worm rolled a few times on the sand and stones, knocking down a few cacti.
There were sounds of hard chunks falling around them, and one of them fell by the young man's feet. He looked at it and saw that it was the shell of the giant worm's scales that had fallen off. There was still some worm skin stuck on the inside of the shell, and the shell was used to protect the worm's body like armor, but a few pieces had been kicked off!
"This, this, this …" The young man swallowed his saliva. "Who the hell is this?"
Holding the saber in his hand, the young man thought to himself, "Even if I used the saber in my hand to chop it, it would be difficult to even leave a deep mark on the shell, let alone break the shell. The other party actually managed to kick the shell off! Hiss, from the looks of it, the worm's belly was kicked upside down.
After being kicked, the giant worm that was rolling on the ground felt that Shao Xuan's momentum was still rising. Seeing that Shao Xuan didn't seem to be satisfied with the kick and wanted to do it again, it didn't care about the pain and quickly crawled into the ground. For a short time, it couldn't eat because of its throat injury, and the other injuries on its body also needed time to heal. In any case, it didn't plan to come out for a while. No, it would even leave this place and avoid it.
When the giant worm left, the two young men who came out to collect dew nervously looked at the figure in the fog walking towards them.
Although they were very grateful for the other party's rescue, they couldn't remain calm after seeing the scene just now. They were so nervous that their foreheads were sweating. They wanted to say something, but their throats seemed to be stuck. They opened their mouths a few times but couldn't make a sound. They didn't know what kind of tone to use and what kind of words to say. If they angered the other party, would the two of them also be kicked?
Shao Xuan slowly walked in the direction of the two men. He had just finished the battle, and the power in his body hadn't calmed down. He was still lingering and didn't seem to be satisfied. The air on the surface of his body vibrated, and even the fog around Shao Xuan's body was dispelled.
Running at the bottom of the sea for such a long time was tough and uncomfortable. Both physical and mental pressure had impacted Shao Xuan's body but he did not weaken. On the contrary, it was as if his body had been tempered and became stronger. The leg that kicked the giant worm was slightly numb, but it wasn't uncomfortable or injured. When he rushed out, he seemed to already know that the kick wouldn't hurt him.
When Shao Xuan came closer, the two men finally saw Shao Xuan's appearance clearly.
Because he hadn't changed his clothes for a long time, Shao Xuan's cloth clothes had already become rags, revealing his body. The smooth lines of his muscles were like the hardest stone that had been polished.
If they hadn't seen the scene with their own eyes, they wouldn't have been able to imagine how terrifying the power contained in this person's body was.
The two men looked at the appearance of the person who had kicked the giant worm. He was quite young, and the other party looked at them with a kind and amiable gaze. He didn't give off a fierce feeling.
From appearance alone, the two men really couldn't imagine that this person had such ability.
