Because Shao Xuan had saved his son, and because he was special, as a shaman of a tribe, the caution and wariness he should have as a tribe's shaman had been cast aside!
He was too careless!
Even if he felt that Shao Xuan wasn't that kind of person, he shouldn't have acted based on his personal opinion when it came to the fire seed.
The Jing shaman fell silent. Although he didn't show it on his face, he was already starting to feel anxious. He stared straight at the quagmire. If anyone below made any strange movements, he would immediately take action.
Miu, who was in the house, had already recovered. Although his vision was still blurry when he opened his eyes, it wasn't a big deal. He didn't want to be treated the same way again, but he still couldn't suppress his curiosity. If Shao Xuan hadn't entered the quagmire, he wouldn't have provoked Shao Xuan. But now that Shao Xuan had entered the quagmire, Miu also wanted to know what an outsider like him could do in the quagmire. He didn't want to be rescued when he got lost at the bottom of the quagmire.
Luckily, Shao Xuan didn't look over this time. This made Miu heave a sigh of relief. Shao Xuan's eyes were too scary.
At this moment, the Shao Xuan had already focused all his attention on sensing the movements around him. The Jing shaman's third eye could open normally in the quagmire, and he could see things without being disturbed by the muddy water at the bottom of the quagmire.
However, the Shao Xuan couldn't. The Jing shaman's third eye was special, and he couldn't compare. The muddy water would damage the eyes, so after being dragged to the bottom of the quagmire, the Shao Xuan kept his eyes closed.
Luckily, with his special vision, even with his eyes closed, the Shao Xuan could still see the situation around him through his eyelids. This was something the others didn't know.
After sinking to the bottom of the quagmire, the Shao Xuan didn't immediately move. Instead, he stood quietly on the spot and observed the situation around him.
Under the quagmire, the pressure from the muddy water around him was at least twice as much as that of a normal river or lake. Moreover, this was the pressure he felt when he was still. If he wanted to lift his feet and walk under the quagmire, he would need to expend even more energy. This was also why the shaman was so tired that he had to come ashore to rest after only taking a slow walk under the quagmire.
In Shao Xuan's vision, the ground eyes around him were glowing dots of light. Some were bright, some were dark. They were all ground eyes, and those glowing dots were actually the ground eye stones inside the ground eyes' bodies. In Shao Xuan's vision, ordinary Ground Eye Stones were dull gray. Only high-quality Ground Eye Stones and Universal Eyes were brighter, especially the Universal Eyes, which were especially bright. When the Universal Eye passed by Shao Xuan, it left behind a trail of light in Shao Xuan's vision.
Based on this pattern, Shao Xuan only needed to search for the brightest spot.
Shao Xuan didn't know how the True Eye looked like, but he knew how bright the Universal Eyes were. What he needed to do now was to search for a spot in the quagmire that was brighter than the two Universal Eyes from before. Then, he needed to catch it.
Although he didn't know if the True Eye could be used on Caesar, he still had to try. Caesar still followed the hunting team out to hunt in the tribe, but his mobility was still lacking compared to before. Especially in the forest full of danger and fierce beasts, his mobility was greatly restricted. Every time Old Ke saw Caesar's injuries, he wondered if he should let Caesar change professions. For example, pulling carts at the Flaming River Trading Point. Unfortunately, Caesar wasn't willing. Pulling carts was just a part-time job. He liked to hunt more. Now that he was hungry, he would go out to the forest to look for food. He even brought food for Old Ke.
If he could give that guy an eye, even if he couldn't recover to his peak condition, as long as he was better than now, it would be worth Shao Xuan's visit.
Beside the quagmire, everyone saw that after Shao Xuan went down, he didn't move. The rope tied to Shao Xuan's body also stopped moving.
"Could he be trapped by the mud at the bottom of the quagmire? Is that why he can't move?" someone whispered.
"Bullsh * t, how strong can the mud in the quagmire be? It's impossible to trap us Yanjiao tribesmen! He's just walking around in the quagmire. How could such a small thing trouble our Grand Elder? "Duo Li refuted without hesitation. But they didn't understand why Shao Xuan didn't move after he went down either.
"Hey, it's moving! It's moving!" someone suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked over. The rope tied to Shao Xuan's body was indeed moving. This meant that Shao Xuan was starting to walk around in the quagmire. It also proved that what Duo Li said was true.
Although the Jing tribesmen didn't say anything, they didn't agree with Duo Li's words.
Just walking around in the quagmire? Such a small thing? If it was that simple, then the Jing tribesmen wouldn't have so many restrictions on the central quagmire. Others didn't know, but many of the Jing elders knew. When the central quagmire was first dug, it was used as a second line of defense for the Jing tribe. If there was any danger, the Jing tribesmen would retreat into the central quagmire to seek refuge. This quagmire had swallowed countless beasts. However, the beasts that were "swallowed" into the quagmire had already become a part of it. Not even their bones were left behind.
Shao Xuan also realized that after he sank to the bottom of the quagmire, his originally sharp sense of direction seemed to have been blocked. If it weren't for his special vision that allowed him to see the traps at the bottom of the quagmire, Shao Xuan might have really gotten lost in the quagmire.
He had been standing at the bottom of the quagmire for a while now, so he got used to the pressure and resistance. He also had a basic understanding of the environment, but now Shao Xuan needed some fresh air, so he walked towards the stairs at the bottom of the quagmire.
There were stairs made of stones at the bottom of the quagmire. After he stepped on them, he would be able to emerge from the quagmire.
The Jing shaman, who was standing outside the quagmire, originally wanted to tell the Yanjiao people where to pull the rope to remind Shao Xuan. However, he saw the rope tied to Shao Xuan move towards the stairs before the Yanjiao people pulled it.
Seeing this, the Jing shaman couldn't help but open his three eyes wide. He looked at the bottom of the quagmire again and saw Shao Xuan walking towards the stairs. He didn't have any intention to test it out. His footsteps were steady, as if he was sure there were stairs there.
How was this possible?!
The Jing shaman couldn't understand. Shao Xuan didn't have a third eye, so how did he find the stairs so accurately? Before Shao Xuan entered the quagmire, he had pointed out the stairs to Shao Xuan, but everyone in the Jing tribe knew that even if they could clearly identify the place outside the quagmire, once they entered the quagmire, it was as if their memories were messed up, and they kept going in the wrong direction.
Seeing Shao Xuan's head emerge from the quagmire, the Yanjiao people let out a sigh of relief. Wei and the others, whose faces were tense, also smiled. Duo Li looked proudly at the Jing people who were watching. His eyes seemed to be telling them, "Did you see that? I wasn't lying, right? "
Shao Xuan raised his hand to wipe the mud off his face. He said to Wei and the others, "Throw me a rope. I'll tie my hands."
The Jing shaman looked at Shao Xuan in surprise, "You want to catch it yourself?!"
"Yes, there was a Universal Eye that passed by me just now. It was the one that made the sound. If I can't find the True Eye, I'll catch a Universal Eye first." Shao Xuan caught the rope that was thrown over. This was what the Jing people often used to tie their hands. After tying the rope around their hands, even if the Ground Eye spun very fast, with the rope's protection, they wouldn't hurt their hands directly. This rope was used as a glove.
The Jing shaman opened his mouth. He wasn't sad that the Shao Xuan had taken the Universal Eye. He promised to let Shao Xuan go down, so he didn't care much about the Universal Eyes in the quagmire. What he was surprised about was that Shao Xuan didn't lose his sense of direction at the bottom of the quagmire. Not only could he walk freely, but he also planned to catch the Universal Eyes.
"Alright, be careful." The Jing shaman didn't say anything else. He felt that Shao Xuan only found the Universal Eye because of its sound. If that was the case, then he could continue to sit by the quagmire and watch the show. If Shao Xuan caught the Universal Eye, then even if he couldn't find the True Eye, he wouldn't be angry. It was better to have something than nothing. If Shao Xuan couldn't catch the Universal Eye, then he would catch it for Shao Xuan after he rested for a while.
The more the Jing shaman thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good thing. He continued to sit by the side and watched as Shao Xuan took a deep breath and sank into the quagmire again. As for the True Eye, in the Jing shaman's opinion, Shao Xuan definitely wouldn't be able to catch it. Even if there was a True Eye next to Shao Xuan, he wouldn't be able to find it. A True Eye wouldn't make that kind of sound. He still had to rely on the Jing tribe!
After confirming that Shao Xuan wasn't in any trouble, the Yanjiao people started joking around. They even chatted with the Jing people about who had the highest chance of getting first place this year. While they were chatting, they didn't forget to promote the Flaming River Trading Point. They told them that if they needed food or animal hides in the future, they could go there and trade with ground eye stones.
Shao Xuan, who was at the bottom of the quagmire, had already started to follow the Jing shaman's footsteps and walk along the quagmire.
As the Jing shaman, he was naturally more experienced. Shao Xuan walked along the Jing shaman's path. It was probably the safest and least likely route to miss the target.
The mud at the bottom of the quagmire made Shao Xuan feel like he was walking against the wind. Even if he stopped, he wouldn't be blown away. If he was tired, he could still rest. It was just that he couldn't breathe fresh air, so he felt a little suffocated. Every once in a while, he would have to find a platform to breathe.
The full moon was in the sky. As Shao Xuan walked around the quagmire, he realized that there were more and more ground eyes in the middle of the quagmire. Some ground eyes crawled out from the walls of the quagmire, while others crawled out from under the carpet. On the ground, ground eyes from other places were gathering here. The Jing fire seed was especially attractive to them on this day. They were like moths attracted to a flame in the dark night, rushing towards the Jing fire seed.
That was why in Shao Xuan's vision, there were more and more light spots. There was one more universal eye. The night was still long, so there might be more universal eyes crawling out. The Jing shaman said that tonight was the most active night of the year for ground eyes. He just didn't know if he would be able to see a True Eye.
The Jing shaman opened his third eye wide. When he saw Shao Xuan walk past a universal eye floating in the quagmire, he couldn't help but smile. Sure enough, that kid was just judging by the sound.
But then, the policeman saw the universal eye that was spinning rapidly in the quagmire. It walked past Shao Xuan several times, but Shao Xuan didn't move at all. The Jing shaman was puzzled. If it happened once or twice, he could say that the kid didn't react in time. But three, four, five times? What was that kid thinking?
