Chapter 301
C301 – Out of the City
Posted on November 7, 2018 by AzureOrchid92
After confirming that he had enslaved a turtle, Su Gu’s mood was quite complicated.
After a team of patrol slaves passed by, Su Gu quickly threw the turtle he had just enslaved successful back into the water. He did not want it to be known that he had enslaved such an animal for the first time. If his two other brothers knew it, they would take it out and make it known to all, then he himself would be a joke that would be made fun of by the other slave owners.
In general, however, it was better that he had successfully enslaved than to have been enslaved himself.
After leaving the pool, Su Gu quickly returned to his home, not to rest, but to continue to train his enslavement ability. When he was training alone, he didn’t use actual people for practice. One reason was because he knew his lack of strength which was not enough to enslave a person. Another was that he was afraid of repeated failure after it was known.
He practiced on his own for a while, but Su Gu felt bored, so he had someone send over a live scorpion, and then secretly used his ability once. This became a failure, and the scorpion died. Although the scorpion’s body didn’t seem to have any wounds or other abnormalities, but like how a slave owner who failed in enslaving a slave, the slave would likely die.
After the failure, although he was disappointed, Su Gu quickly cheered up. After all, he had succeeded once.
After a day of recuperation, Su Gu came to his father’s turtle pond again.
There were five turtles on the side of the pool. They all looked the same. If put in front of him, Su Gu would be unable to identify which was which. However, at the moment, he had a feeling that among these five turtles, the one he had successfully enslaved yesterday were not among them.
A moment later, Su Gu saw another black turtle crawling out of the water. This turtle was bigger than the others and its color was deeper.
When the turtle climbed out, the original five turtle lying on the edge of the pool retreated and let go of their places. It was like they were all being fearful.
That’s the one!
Su Gu leaned forward, carefully observing this turtle enslaved by him only yesterday. He knew that slaves who had been enslaved would be stronger than the rest of the ordinary people, but he did not expect that it could be the same for animals.
It had just been a day. It’s already so obvious!
I’m not a waste! Su Gu cast aside yesterday’s embarrassed mood of enslaving a turtle. Now, he was quite content.
This turtle was not only big, its spirit was also high. Because of the success of the enslavement, this turtle did not open its mouth to bite Su Gu when he picked it up. It was very obedient.
After the excitement, Su Gu calmed down. He would not let other people know about these changes. He could not let his two brothers know that he had been able to enslave this. He must wait until he had enough strength to reveal it. He was already too far behind his two elder brothers, and now, still have to be low-key.
Thinking of the change in the turtle, Su Gu couldn’t let it stay here. Otherwise, in another two or three days, it would grow bigger. That was too obvious and people would find it unusual.
After thinking about it, Su Gu ran to his father to request for a favor, saying he wanted to take a turtle back to eat.
The Luoye King just reprimanded him with a few words without hurting him, then agreed.
Su Gu used a hide bag to bring that turtle back to his place. But he had no place to keep it. Finally, Su Gu directly put it in the pot, and then took the boiling pot to find Shao Xuan and his team in the tribal area.
“Please eat.” Su Gu put the pot on the stone table as he said that.
Smelling the taste of the meat soup, Lei and Tuo couldn’t help but take out two bowls. When they saw that Su Gu and Shao Xuan were going to discuss, they went out with their bowls.
Shao Xuan smelled the scent of the pot “What is this you cooked?”
Without other people, Su Gu did not hide it, and proudly said, “My slave!”
Shao Xuan: “…” A person?!
Looking at the pot of soup, Shao Xuan immediately felt that he has no appetite. After thinking about it, he used a spoon to ladle a scoop and observed the scooped out bones and meat. After recognizing it, he was relieved.
“Is this a turtle?” Shao Xuan looked at Su Gu.
“Yes.” Su Gu told him his experience of how he enslaved a turtle.
Being able to enslave successfully was also from Shao Xuan’s blessing. Because of the cooperation between the two, Su Gu also hoped to disclose some information to Shao Xuan here. He told Shao Xuan that he still have the potential for development and would not be useless, to let them be at ease with this cooperation. At the same time, he also asked Shao Xuan not to tell of this matter, even to Lei and Tuo.
Shao Xuan was just a little surprised, but it was not shocking for him. After all, their tribes used engraving secrets on their ferocious beasts. The slave owners’ matter was not surprisingly different.
“I believe it won’t be long before I can have my own slaves!” Suddenly, Su Gu added, “Human slaves!”
“About the slave owners in the other cities, I’m tidying up and finishing up for two days to get what you asked.” Su Gu continued.
“Ok.” Shao Xuan waited for Su Gu’s next words.
“After ten days, I will go out of town. I hope you can accompany me too,” said Su Gu.
“What’s out of the city?” Shao Xuan asked.
“We’re going to the oasis to find something and I will tell you when it’s time. Don’t tell anyone about it.” Su Gu told him.
He nodded, then thought about something, so Shao Xuan said to Su Gu, “Ah Third Turtle, could you go out for a while.”
“Call me Third Young Master!” Being called “turtle”, Su Gu was quite dissatisfied. Originally, he wanted to add something, but he thought of Shao Xuan’s words, then Su Gu’s eyes brightened. “Will you be doing a ritual?!”
“I am not a shaman.” Shao Xuan replied.
“I know that.” Su Gu waved his hand. His words were not said, but the expression on his face was saying: Don’t hide it. I know you are!
After Su Gu left, Shao Xuan went to find a coarse, thick, hollow hay, which was specially picked from the camel’s pile when he went out to look at its food.
To go out of town, he wanted to forecast the weather. At first, he could only predict the weather of the next day or two, but now he could predict the weather for the next days using the ropes for divination. The divination was not as difficult as it was in the beginning. Although more complicated things still could not be predicted, compared to before, there has been a lot of progress.
An instant later.
After knotting the rope, Shao Xuan looked at the finished knot and read the conclusion shown. Then, he turned the knot into a ball, and threw it out of the window.
Not far from Shao Xuan’s room was the camel’s shed. Shao Xuan had thrown the grass ball over the camel’s head.
It was smashed by the camel as it stepped on it. Then, it found the grass ball on the ground. Its mouth crooked as the grass ball was picked up and eaten afterwards.
This was a very good way to destroy the knots.
Su Gu came in again. He was then told by Shao Xuan, “Six days later, there will be a sandstorm. Prepare yourself. Don’t run around that day. It’s best to stay in the palace.”
With his last experience, Su Gu was convinced of Shao Xuan’s advice.
A sudden sandstorm in the desert could make this city, including all the surrounding areas, invisible, with visibility instantly down to zero. At the same time, there were some desert ferocious beasts in the sandstorm, specifically using such weather to slaughter their prey. With each sandstorm encounter, Luoye City would strengthen their defense. The slave owners were all well-hidden.
He cooked the turtle?! ୧( ಠ Д ಠ )୨
