Caesar was originally an ordinary wolf, brought back by Lang Ga to be Shao Xuan's food. However, Shao Xuan didn't eat it and raised it instead.
Speaking of which, Caesar didn't have a strong bloodline like Chacha. It was completely transformed into a ferocious beast by Shao Xuan.
Now, Caesar didn't have an eye, so Shao Xuan tried to install an eye for him. He wasn't sure if it would succeed, but he could only try.
Shao Xuan took Caesar to a remote mountain at the edge of the tribe's territory. The soil there wasn't suitable for planting, and the stone wasn't good enough to make weapons. There weren't any wanderers living there, and only some patrolling warriors would rest there.
When Shao Xuan arrived, there was a group of patrolling warriors resting there. When they saw Shao Xuan, they hurriedly greeted him. When they heard that Shao Xuan had something to do here, they didn't say anything and hurried down the mountain. However, they didn't go far, but stood guard at a distance to prevent others from disturbing them.
Caesar still had doubts in his eyes. Although he could understand a lot of words, Shao Xuan didn't say much before, so he was still confused. Today, there was a hunting team out, but he didn't go with them.
Shao Xuan took out the animal skin roll that recorded the precautions, and read it again from beginning to end. Although he had read this animal skin roll several times on the way back, he still read it again before he started, and simulated the next steps in his mind.
"Okay, come here and lie down." Shao Xuan called Caesar.
Caesar was already very big now. When he lay down, his back was almost the same height as a human, let alone when he stood up. Now that Shao Xuan wanted to install an eye for him, of course he had to lie down.
He didn't understand what Shao Xuan wanted to do, but Caesar still lay down obediently and rested his head on the ground between his two front paws.
Shao Xuan removed the blindfold on Caesar's right eye. There was no eyeball inside, and the eyelid was slightly sunken. Caesar's upper and lower eyelids were always closed. The injuries from back then had already healed, and all the new injuries were from hunting. However, his right eye was protected by the blindfold, so it wasn't scratched.
"Caesar, this is the True Eye from the Jing tribe. The Jing people can use this to grow another eye." Shao Xuan pointed at the bamboo tube in his hand.
Caesar's ears twitched as he looked at the bamboo tube expectantly.
"But, I don't know if it will work. People from different tribes can't use it. You're a fearsome beast, not a human, so you don't fall under this category. However, you've been marked before, so you have the aura of the Yanjiao fire seed. This is a little risky, but we still have to try. If it doesn't work, then forget it. "
Back then, Caesar was personally marked by Shao Xuan with the power of the Yanjiao totem. Caesar had been in the tribe for so many years and participated in every ritual, so he naturally absorbed some of the power of the fire seed. This was what Shao Xuan was worried about. The more power he had, the more obvious the rejection would be, and the lower the success rate.
He had to give it a try.
With a sigh, Shao Xuan opened the bamboo tube and took out the ground eye sealed in mud.
Just as the shaman had said, the meat of the ground eye wouldn't spoil easily if it was sealed in mud. Shao Xuan washed away the mud and untied the rope on top. When he opened the shell of the ground eye, the meat was still the same as when Shao Xuan saw it. There were no changes.
He took out the meat of the ground eye, broke it open, and took out the True Eye.
After washing the meat, Shao Xuan cut some and passed it to Caesar. "Eat this first."
Caesar sniffed it curiously, then opened his mouth and ate it.
Shao Xuan observed for a while and didn't see anything strange with Caesar. Only then did he let him eat the rest.
After Caesar ate the entire ground eye meat, Shao Xuan slightly pried open the eyelid of Caesar's right eye, where there was no eyeball. Where there was no eyeball, there was only some red flesh.
Unlike the shaman who had a third eye in between his eyebrows, Caesar didn't have to make an opening. Shao Xuan fixed Caesar's right eyelid with one hand and held the black True Eye with the other. He carefully placed it there and pushed it in slightly.
Shao Xuan didn't dare to push it too far. If the rejection from the True Eye was too strong, it would be like what the shaman had said. He would have to dig it out again.
After Shao Xuan placed the True Eye into Caesar's right eye, the black True Eye's surroundings began to change after about two breaths.
The flesh around Caesar's right eye started to close in on the black True Eye. Thin blood vessels covered most of the True Eye. Other than the part that was facing the outside, the rest of the True Eye was covered in blood vessels. Then, a layer of white membrane appeared where the blood vessels covered. Not long after, it began to swell.
"Ao —"
Caesar shook his head in discomfort. Shao Xuan released his hand and asked, "How is it?"
The True Eye had already begun to change. It should be working, right?
Caesar only felt a little uncomfortable. From time to time, he wanted to use his forelimbs to push his eyes out, but Shao Xuan stopped him.
Shao Xuan noticed that Caesar's closed right eye had begun to bulge.
Caesar wanted to rub his head against the ground, but Shao Xuan stopped him.
If that was all, it would be fine. Shao Xuan had heard from the shaman about the violent reaction from failed fusion. Caesar's situation didn't seem like he was being strongly rejected by the ground eye.
This was a good thing.
Caesar probably knew that his right eye was changing. Although he felt uncomfortable, he tried his best to endure it. He only struggled a little when he couldn't help it, but Shao Xuan stopped him.
Some mud-like liquid flowed out from Caesar's right eye. Shao Xuan frowned, but when he looked at Caesar, he didn't see any violent reaction, so he didn't do anything. If Caesar suddenly struggled violently, he would have to consider forcefully pulling the True Eye out.
The shaman had mentioned this before. Some people in the Jing tribe would experience this when they fused, so it wasn't strange.
The mud-like liquid dripped onto the ground and gradually seeped into the soil. The grass that was originally growing there withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. The upright stalks of grass bent and the entire plant fell down.
Shao Xuan saw this and frowned even more. This was obviously not a normal tear. The shaman didn't mention this before. Since there weren't many grass in the Jing tribe, it was understandable that the shaman didn't mention this.
The mud-like liquid kept flowing out from Caesar's right eye, but the color gradually faded until it was as transparent as a normal tear. The transparent liquid that dripped onto the ground didn't have the same effect on the grass as before. Shao Xuan let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed like things were going in a good direction.
Even so, Shao Xuan didn't dare to be careless. After all, just like the shaman said, he had never heard of anyone putting a True Eye on a fearsome beast, let alone one that had been branded. Before the process ended, he couldn't be careless.
The tear-like liquid in Caesar's right eye gradually stopped flowing down. The bulging eyelid also slowly shrank down. It wasn't that obvious anymore.
Shao Xuan looked at Caesar's perfectly fine left eye, then looked at his right eye. Both sides were almost the same. They weren't sunken or bulging.
Shao Xuan wanted to pry open Caesar's right eye to see how the True Eye had changed, but the fusion wasn't over yet. Shao Xuan didn't dare to move recklessly. If he interfered with the fusion, all his efforts would be in vain.
After another half an hour, Caesar suddenly shook and began to struggle violently.
"It's starting to reject?" Shao Xuan stared intently at Caesar's reaction. If the rejection intensified, he would take action and dig the True Eye out. Although it would hurt Caesar, under the strong rejection of the True Eye, the longer it dragged on, the greater the damage Caesar would suffer. It might even put his life in danger. This was what the shaman had warned Shao Xuan before.
Just as Shao Xuan was about to take action, Caesar stopped struggling. The eyelid in his right eye moved, as if he was trying to open his eye.
After losing his right eye, Caesar couldn't even move his eyelid, let alone open his eye. Now that he was trying to open his eye, it was already a huge improvement.
After opening it a few times, the eyelid finally opened slowly.
Shao Xuan saw that in Caesar's right eye, there was a white eyeball. There was also a black dot in the middle of the eyeball. The size of the black dot was exactly the same as the True Eye. However, compared to the entire eyeball, the black dot in the middle was too small.
However, very quickly, Shao Xuan saw that the black dot was surrounded by tightly arranged strands of filaments. Grey brown extended outwards from the black dot.
As for the black dot in the middle, it seemed to be expanding at the same frequency as the heart due to the stretching of these tightly arranged filaments.
Shao Xuan had once wondered how such a small True Eye could change. It was much smaller than Caesar's eye.
The shaman had told him that the True Eye would change according to the fusion. Now, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
Caesar's right eye was gradually becoming complete, becoming similar to his left eye. The black pupil in the middle was also expanding at the same time as his left eye.
It was done!
Looking at Caesar's right eye, which was almost the same as his left eye, Shao Xuan finally relaxed. He waved his fist forcefully. This was smoother than he had expected. Although there were signs of rejection during the fusion, it was not strong. In the end, he succeeded.
Caesar seemed to have not gotten used to the sudden improvement of his right eye. After all, he had only had one eye for so long. Now that his field of vision had suddenly expanded, he was a little confused. However, he soon became happy. He stood up and jumped on the spot. Then, he raised his head and howled excitedly.
"Awooo —"
At the foot of the mountain, the patrol team heard the howl and looked up in confusion.
"Caesar's howl sounds very excited?" One of the team members said.
"Caesar is a good wolf. It's a pity that he's blind in one eye," another person said regretfully.
"So what if he's blind in one eye? Caesar can still hunt. He's quite powerful," a young warrior said.
"He was even more powerful when both of his eyes were intact. What a pity. "
Someone wanted to say something, but when he saw Shao Xuan coming over with Caesar, he immediately stopped talking.
Caesar seemed to be particularly excited today. When he walked past the patrol team, he bumped into them. However, he didn't use much strength. For the Yanjiao warriors, that was just playing around.
A few of the patrol team bumped into and played with Caesar for a while before they watched Caesar and Shao Xuan leave.
"What's wrong, boss?" the person who had just played with Caesar asked with a smile.
He saw the leader standing next to him, staring at the wolf in the distance.
"Didn't you guys notice?" The leader stared straight at the wolf in the distance.
"Notice what?"
"Caesar's eyes!"
"What's the point of noticing that? It's not good to stare at someone's blind eye. Even if it's a wolf, it won't be happy. Look at Caesar's eyes just now …"
The person who was speaking suddenly paused.
The rest of the team also seemed to be strangled. Not a single word came out of their mouths.
