He thought it was the delayed rejection of the True Eye, but he didn't expect to see something like this.
It turned out that the reason why he had been acting strangely was because of the third eye.
Shao Xuan didn't understand why this happened. A True Eye could only grow one eye. The shaman and the others had a third eye because both of their eyes were normal. But now, why did Caesar have a third eye after his right eye? When he put it in, he only put it in his right eye.
What was the difference between this third eye and the other two?
Unfortunately, Caesar couldn't speak, so he couldn't tell Shao Xuan what he was feeling in detail.
Shao Xuan temporarily gave up on the idea of bringing him back. Caesar wasn't angry right now. His emotions were stable and he didn't hit the ground again.
He was confused.
Shao Xuan was confused too.
After Shao Xuan blew the whistle, he probably understood the order. Shao Xuan saw that Caesar was walking towards them, but he stopped because his third eye opened.
After understanding the reason for Caesar's strange behavior, Shao Xuan calmed down a little. This meant that it wasn't a delayed rejection, and the other two eyes weren't damaged either.
While Shao Xuan was thinking, Caesar suddenly tilted his head. All three of his eyes were looking at the bushes on the side, and he let out a low growl.
There was a nocturnal beast hiding there. It thought it was well-hidden and was planning to ambush Caesar, but it didn't expect Caesar to notice it first. His growl was a message to the nocturnal beast hiding behind the bushes: I found you, get out of here!
Actually, when he looked into Caesar's newly opened third eye, even though he could not see the eyes clearly due to the green light, he felt a sense of familiarity. It was similar to the Jing shaman's and Miu's gazes when he was in the Jing tribe, but they were not exactly the same. Perhaps it was because the Fused Together was different, so the emotions they contained were different. That was why the feeling was different. Maybe it was because the Fused Together was different.
Caesar's third eye made anyone who saw it feel like they would be found no matter if they were hiding in the bushes or behind a tree. Maybe this was why the nocturnal beasts that came over after smelling the scent of blood were hesitant and didn't move. They liked to ambush their prey. If they were discovered, it wouldn't be called ambushing. They preferred to kill in one strike, so they wouldn't move unless they were confident.
That was why after Caesar's growl, the nocturnal beasts didn't leave immediately, but they didn't attack for the time being. They would continue to wait for an opportunity.
The nocturnal beasts around them wouldn't move for the time being. Shao Xuan looked at Caesar, who was standing there. He blew the whistle for the third time, the same sound as before.
Caesar finally walked towards Shao Xuan after hearing the whistle, but his footsteps were hesitant. He wasn't as straightforward as before. Shao Xuan could even feel Caesar's puzzled gaze.
What was it puzzled about?
Could it be that he saw something?
Shao Xuan suddenly remembered what the shaman had said. He had said that there was a "person" behind him, and Caesar's third eye was similar to the shaman's. They were both born from the True Eye. Did that mean that Caesar had also seen the "person" behind him? Was that why it had hesitated when it heard the command?
However, even if Caesar had seen something it couldn't before, it still followed Shao Xuan's command and walked over. It even let out a confused whimper.
As soon as it heard the whimper, Shao Xuan was sure that Caesar had regained consciousness. Its body was injured, so it wasn't suitable for it to stay where it was. It needed to find a place to treat its injuries.
"Let's go." Shao Xuan turned around and walked back the way they came.
At first, Shao Xuan's speed wasn't fast, but when he heard the movement on the ground behind him, Shao Xuan sped up and whistled for Chacha in the sky to follow.
It was nighttime, and Caesar was injured. After running so far, it must be tired. Not only it, Chacha also needed to rest. Besides, it wasn't suitable for chacha to fly at night, so Shao Xuan found a place to rest and treated Caesar's wounds.
He didn't bring a medicine bag, so he didn't have much medicine on him. He could only make do with what he had. Fortunately, although Caesar's injuries looked frightening, they weren't serious. Some of the shallow wounds had already scabbed over. The more serious injuries were concentrated on its back and head. The injuries on its back were left behind when it was fighting with other Vicious Beasts, and the injuries on its head were left behind by itself.
When they were resting, Shao Xuan had a chance to take a good look at Caesar's third eye. Caesar didn't seem to be very good at controlling the third eye. After it opened, it took a long time before it stiffly closed. It was like a rusty machine, so its reactions weren't very agile. It also wasn't synchronized with the other two eyes. The skin around the third eye had hardened a lot. Shao Xuan only noticed this when he was applying medicine on Caesar's wounds. This reminded him of the True Eye he caught. When he cut open the True Eye, there was also a layer of hardened flesh around the True Eye.
He didn't know if it was because of that, but if he had the chance in the future, he should go to the Jing tribe and ask. Shao Xuan thought to himself.
When Chacha saw Caesar, he was even more shocked than when he found out Caesar was blind in one eye. In a moment of carelessness, this guy went from having only one eye to having three!
Fearsome beasts had stronger recovery abilities than normal beasts. After one night, the wounds on Caesar's body had already scabbed over, and the smell of blood was not as strong as before.
When Caesar woke up the next day, he was in good spirits. He was also clear-headed, but he still wasn't used to his third eye. Occasionally, he would raise his paw to rub it.
Before this, Shao Xuan always thought that he was rubbing his paw because there was something wrong with his eyes. Now, he understood that Chacha actually wanted to rub the spot where his third eye grew out. It was mainly where he hit trees, the ground, and the mountains. Now that his third eye had grown out perfectly, the discomfort had subsided a lot, so he no longer banged his head around crazily.
Perhaps, after some time, he would get used to his third eye.
Because of the matter with his third eye, Caesar had used up a lot of his energy. After he recovered, he went to hunt for food. Caesar hunted faster than usual, but sometimes he would look at Shao Xuan in confusion. To be exact, he was looking behind Shao Xuan.
"There's someone behind me, right?" Shao Xuan said as he nibbled on a wild fruit.
Caesar only whimpered twice. He looked behind Shao Xuan with fear, but because he was close to Shao Xuan, he wasn't as vigilant.
"Don't worry about him. I'll find out who's behind this sooner or later."
Shao Xuan looked up into the sky. Chacha had also finished hunting, so he erased all traces. "Let's go back."
At the edge of the tribe, there were people standing guard. It was Lang Ga and the others. They were probably worried about Shao Xuan, so they stood guard there. Everyone was carrying bags, ready to enter the forest if anything happened.
When they saw the eagle in the sky, Lang Ga and the others were delighted. However, Shao Xuan didn't sit on the eagle's back. Instead, he ran on the ground with Caesar. Caesar was injured, and because his third eye hadn't fully recovered, Shao Xuan had to keep an eye on him.
"The Great Elder is back!" Someone looked ahead and said.
"Caesar is back too!"
"It's good that they're all back safely."
Lang Ga happily ran forward for a while. He was the one who brought Caesar back to the tribe, so in the Yanjiao tribe, Lang Ga and Caesar had a good relationship. During this time, he was also worried about Caesar's condition and went to visit him several times. Now that he saw Caesar running back with Shao Xuan, he was happy to welcome them. However, when he looked at Caesar, he felt that something was wrong.
As Caesar ran closer, the smile on Lang Ga's face stiffened. His eyes widened, and he rubbed his eyes before continuing to stare.
The others weren't any better than Lang Ga.
They had heard that Caesar's condition was caused by his new right eye. Some people even discussed in private whether the way to recover Caesar was to remove his new eye. Therefore, when Caesar returned, they stared at Caesar's right eye.
At first glance, the right eye was fine.
When they looked again, the left eye was fine too. Both eyes were fine, but there was a strange feeling. The hairs on the back of their necks trembled.
When they looked closer … F * ck! What the hell?!
Because he couldn't control his new eye, Caesar's third eye was still wide open when he came back. It was even vertical. Originally, a Direbeast's eyes looked more ferocious than a human's. Now, this combination looked even more terrifying. Moreover, when that eye looked over, it gave people a different feeling than an ordinary eye! Therefore, the shock that Caesar's third eye brought to them could not be described as small.
Not to mention Lang Ga and the others, after Shao Xuan brought Caesar back, everyone who saw Caesar was dumbfounded.
Some time ago, when Caesar's right eye had just grown out, many people in the tribe had come to watch out of curiosity. Now, there were even more onlookers. After all, they had seen many wolves with two eyes. Even if the right eye had grown out, it would at least look like a normal wolf. However, they had never seen a wolf with three eyes.
"I didn't expect this, I really didn't expect this!"
"I thought only humans had three eyes. I didn't expect wolves to have it too!"
Duo Li wanted to take a closer look, but Caesar didn't allow anyone to touch his third eye.
A few days after his third eye grew out, Caesar didn't show any signs of irritation. Even his movements of rubbing his eyes with his claws became less and less. At first, his third eye was just wide open and looked dull, but it gradually became more lively. Caesar could even control the blinking of his eyes.
However, Caesar usually didn't open his third eye in the tribe because he noticed that everyone didn't seem to like his third eye. Every time they met his third eye's gaze, they would unconsciously feel nervous.
Therefore, gradually, as he became more familiar with controlling his third eye, Caesar kept it closed. He would only open his third eye when he went out to look for food or when he went out to patrol with Shao Xuan. When he didn't open his third eye, there was no trace of an eye on his forehead. It was impossible to tell that there was an eye there.
If Miu was here, he would definitely tell Shao Xuan that the situation of Caesar's third eye was very similar to his.
