Caesar hopped all the way back.
The wanderers who were busy working in the fields saw it from afar. It hopped like a rabbit and stopped to look around. If it saw someone familiar, it would howl as if it was greeting them.
At first, everyone thought that Caesar was in a good mood because of Shao Xuan's return. But soon, more and more people noticed that Caesar's right eye, which was supposed to be covered with an eyepatch and had lost an eyeball, was still intact. There was not a single flaw, and it did not look like a fake.
"How is this possible?!"
The wanderers who stood in the fields and watched Caesar walk away only regained their senses after a while. Their faces were full of disbelief as they asked their comrades beside them, "Did I see wrongly?"
"No, definitely not. I saw it too!"
"Could it be that fearsome beasts can grow their own eyes?" someone guessed. After all, some fearsome beasts had the ability to regenerate, but they had never heard of a wolf-type fearsome beast with such an ability. Plus, if they could regenerate, why would they wait until now? How long had it been?
Caesar brought a new topic of discussion to the tribe.
Shao Xuan didn't announce it publicly because he didn't know if it would succeed. Since it was successful, Shao Xuan explained it to everyone when they went up the mountain for a meeting.
"The Jing tribe's True Eye?" Xing didn't even care about his beloved pottery today. He ran over to Shao Xuan to ask about Caesar's eye.
The others had the same goal. Even Zheng Luo and Duo Kang, who had been guarding the Flaming River Trading Point, came over. After all, some warriors in the tribe had lost their eyes too. If they could grow their eyes back like Caesar, it would be very exciting.
However, after hearing what Shao Xuan told them about the Jing shaman's words, their eager hearts cooled down.
Bloodline, fire seed, these unchangeable factors could cause a strong rejection. If they lost their lives for an eye, it wouldn't be worth it. Some things couldn't be forced.
Putting aside the matter of the True Eye for the time being, they were very curious about the Universal Eyes that Shao Xuan had brought back. Although the ground eye stones were beautiful, to most Yanjiao people, especially those who lived here, the ground eye stones were not even as important as a piece of meat. The people from the other side of the sea, on the other hand, were more interested in the ground eye stones. They were more astute and sensitive when it came to trading. They were also the main force in the Flaming River Trading Point.
The Universal Pupil not only surprised the people who came back from the other side of the sea, but also attracted the attention of the local people. When hunting, if they went to an unfamiliar area and encountered heavy clouds, without any directional tools, they would find a place to wait for the sun to come out and then identify the direction. But now that they had the Universal Eyes, they no longer needed to wait for the sky to clear up.
"This is better than the Sun Stone." Zheng Luo picked up a Universal Eye and carefully observed it in his hand to see if it was pointing in the right direction.
"It can distinguish the light of the sun and the moon. This is good stuff." Ao was also excited.
The shaman gave them a total of eighteen Universal Eyes. The five elders, including Shao Xuan, received one each. As the chief and shaman, Gui Ze and Guigou each received one. Ta and Duo Kang each received one. The remaining nine were left with Guigou. If anyone wanted to go on a long journey in the future, they could ask him for more.
According to the tribe's rules, everyone was a team. Whatever they received would be managed by the same group. Shao Xuan had no intention of monopolizing it. However, since he had received more Ground Eye Stones, he had more say in this matter.
"Right, the people from the Hui tribe sent us a beast skin scroll today." Zheng Luo took out a beast skin scroll that they had just received and passed it to Guigou.
Guigou's expression darkened after reading it. "There are people coming from the other side of the sea."
"They're finally here?"
"No, there's just some movement. As for who exactly is coming, we're not sure yet. There was a strange movement in the desert. There might have been a conflict, but we don't know the details yet, "Guigou said.
"With the people from Rock Hill City guarding, even if there are people coming, there won't be many," Shao Xuan said.
"Indeed, there won't be many, but it's still better to be on guard. From now on, increase the patrol area, especially around the Flaming River Trading Point. "
No one objected to Guigou's decision.
"Is there anyone coming from this side?" Shao Xuan asked.
Guigou passed the beast skin scroll to Shao Xuan. "I don't know about the other tribes, but I heard that the Robbers are on the move."
Every time they mentioned the Robbers, they felt so disgusted that they wanted to throw up everything they ate yesterday. They stole people's belongings and were proud of it instead of being ashamed. It could be said that the Robbers were publicly acknowledged by all tribes to be on guard against.
However, as the two continents got closer, and there were many good things on the other side of the sea, it was not surprising that the Robbers were attracted there.
If the Robbers went there, their main targets would be the slave masters with large amounts of wealth. Thinking of this, everyone felt quite satisfied.
Let the Robbers go and annoy the slave masters.
"It's a good thing for us that the Robbers are attracted by the Robbers." Zheng Luo smiled gloatingly.
Obviously, the others thought so too.
No matter what, since there was already movement on the other side, and it had been a year since the disaster, what was to come would come. Although it wouldn't affect the Flaming Horn tribe much in the short term, it was better to be prepared in advance.
After the meeting, Shao Xuan went down the mountain. Caesar had just run up and down the mountain like crazy, as if he wanted to let everyone know about his changes. He even ran to a few fearsome beasts in the tribe to show off before going home.
Old Ke looked at Caesar's changes and his old face was full of smiles.
"It's good that it's grown back." Old Ke thought of something and asked Shao Xuan, "Caesar's eye won't have any problems in the future, right?"
"From the looks of it, it should be fine for now. The rejection wasn't obvious during the fusion either. According to the Jing shaman, there shouldn't be any problems after the fusion, "Shao Xuan answered.
"It's amazing. They look exactly the same, so there shouldn't be any difference in their vision, right?"
"That depends on Caesar's performance when he hunts in the future." If it was the same as before, there shouldn't be any problems.
Although according to the Jing shaman, Caesar's eye wouldn't have any problems after the fusion, Caesar's situation was different after all, so he still needed to observe for a few days.
With his right eye again, when Caesar went out to hunt for food, the food he brought back was different from when he only had one eye. In the past, he caught some heavy fearsome beasts that were not good at hiding and were not fast. Now, he brought back some more difficult to catch prey. The injuries on his body were also a lot less. It seemed that the lack of an eye was a big limitation.
Just when everyone thought that Caesar's new eye would have no problems, Caesar began to act strangely.
After showing off for two days, Caesar began to look a little irritated. He no longer ran up and down the mountain, but lay down in front of his house. At first, Caesar would occasionally use his forelimbs to rub his eye. After all, he wasn't human and his claws weren't as nimble. Every time, he had to tilt his head and use his claws to rub his eye.
However, when Shao Xuan examined him, he didn't find any abnormalities in his new right eye. It was still the same as when the True Eye was fused. Moreover, when Caesar used his claws to rub his eye, he didn't just rub his right eye, he also rubbed his left eye.
"What's wrong with it?" Old Ke was worried.
"I don't know either." Shao Xuan looked at Caesar and felt uneasy. The fusion of the True Eye was too smooth, but now this was happening. Could it be the delayed rejection of the True Eye?
As an Elder, Shao Xuan didn't have to patrol in shifts. Shao Xuan didn't go to the Flaming River Trading Point either. Instead, he stayed at home to guard Caesar's eye.
On the fifth day after the right eye was born, Caesar seemed to be even more irritated. The frequency of him rubbing his eye with his claws increased. Sometimes, he would even growl. He looked very annoyed. Perhaps he felt that his claws weren't nimble enough to rub his eye, so he would just rub his eye on the ground.
Shao Xuan couldn't find the reason. He guessed that it was the delayed rejection of the True Eye. It was a side effect after the eye was born, so both his wolf eyes were affected. However, every time he looked at Caesar's eyes, he didn't find any abnormalities. However, Caesar was getting more and more irritated. At first, he was rubbing his eye on the ground, but now, he was banging his head on the ground. He would even run out and hit trees.
However, other than these abnormal behaviors, there were no other changes in Caesar's body. There were no signs of rejection during the fusion of the True Eye like the shaman said. His two wolf eyes were still normal. It was just that his gaze became more ferocious due to his irritability. Sometimes, when people from the tribe came to visit Caesar, they would be frightened by the look in his eyes.
As the days passed, Caesar's behavior of knocking his head on the ground and trees became more and more serious. Eventually, he even felt that knocking his head on the ground wasn't enough. He knocked his head on the ground until it bled. No matter how strong a fearsome beast's recovery ability was, it couldn't withstand his constant banging.
This kind of self-abuse made many people in the tribe worried. As expected, the True Eye of the Jing tribe wasn't that easy to install.
Shao Xuan went to the Gui Ze to ask for some medicine. The Gui Ze was trained to be the successor of the shaman since he was young, so he knew a lot about medicine and diseases. However, he had never seen a situation like Caesar's, so he couldn't understand the symptoms. He could only try to make some supportive medicine that could calm the beast down or strengthen its immune system. However, Caesar's condition didn't get better because of this.
"What should we do?" The Gui Ze passed the medicine he made to the Shao Xuan. She looked through all the records left by her ancestors, but none of them matched. After all, most of the records were about humans. There were very few records about fearsome beasts.
"I plan to take him to the Jing tribe and see if the Jing shaman can help him."
As soon as Shao Xuan finished speaking, the Lang Ga hurriedly ran up the mountain to find the Shao Xuan. "Caesar ran away!"
"Did he knock his head on the mountain again?" the Shao Xuan asked.
"No, he ran out of the tribe and went into the forest. There's something wrong with him!" The Lang Ga was on patrol today. When he saw Caesar pass by their patrol team like the wind, he followed him for a while. When he saw that something was wrong, he immediately ran over to find the Shao Xuan.
The Shao Xuan's expression changed. He put down the medicine bag in his hand and followed the Lang Ga down the mountain. They chased after Caesar.
