C353 – Meeting People

The further he went, the less fog remained hanging around him. Although it was not too strong, it was still there. Unlike the places he’d traveled before, there were a lot more small beasts active. The atmosphere around them was not as harmless as it was before, hence, the area was full of a sense of quiet tension.

Shao Xuan tied his animal skin bag so his hand was only holding one knife. His footsteps were light, as he vigilantly moved forward.

It was at this moment that Shao Xuan heard voices.

For a long time, he did not see other people, but now, he had finally heard voices of humans. Although he knew he still had to be alert, Shao Xuan’s heart was indeed a lot relaxed. Meeting some people might not be new, but he was afraid that he was the only human in this land.

His foot shifted, turning to another direction. Shao Xuan moved towards where the voice was coming from. The fog in that area was thicker.

After listening carefully, he knew that there were two people speaking, and Shao Xuan could actually understand what those people were saying. The language here was more in favor of the language used by the slave owners. This also proved that the slave owners in the beginning may indeed have travelled from here.

Once again having proven a guess, Shao Xuan was in a better mood.

The two people also seemed to be collecting dew, as well as some plants that had absorbed the dew.

“Is that enough?” A young woman in coarse clothes looked at the man carrying a basket next to her.

Standing next to her, the young quickly watched their surroundings warily before glancing at the basket, then shook his head and said, “Let’s find some more. It hasn’t rained for a long time, and if it continued like this, it would be more difficult.”

“Ok, but remember to be careful as you looked for more.”

“I know… I’ll be careful! Back off!” The young man went up two steps and kept the woman behind him. Holding a strange knife with a long handle in his hand, he looked at something a little farther away.

Not far from them, there were some gravel slowly moving, making a subtle ‘sha sha’ sound. Beneath this, something was creeping.

Soon, the movement suddenly became larger. The other party seemed to know that it had been discovered, and there was no longer a need to hide. The ground raised a long line and something suddenly slammed. Like water vapor spewing out, the sand on the ground tumbled up to spray dust. The original cracked line along the ground revealed a long reptile.

A dark brown worm, three meters wide and ten meters long, rushed out of the ground. With its several feet and segmented body, covered in hard slices like armor, it came rushing towards the two people.

There was a sudden burst of power coming from the young man. Along with this power, some earthy stripes appeared on him. This is a totem warrior.

Like a snake, the giant worm stood up, showing the front of its body as it moved to attack the two. Seemingly aware that the man was more difficult to deal with after its two unsuccessful attacks, it shifted its target. It wobbled around the young man and opened its mouth with two sharp teeth, going towards the woman clinging onto the basket.

Although in terms of combat effectiveness, the young woman was indeed a little weaker, her skill at escaping was still good. Not having a bit of escaping ability could not make one survive long here. It was just that, under the pursuit of such a large beast, with more fog around, and with the rough ground, her speed reduced by a lot. After a slightly slip under her feet, another factor added to reduce her speed, affecting her escape.

Seeing the giant worm shifting its target, the young man became anxious. He moved his leg to run over, wanting to block it off before the giant worm attacked. If he could not block it, he could still attract its attention.

Just when the pair were getting anxious, a bang sounded. The giant worm, which was preparing to attack the young woman, was hit by an unforseen big stone.

Probably not expecting to be suddenly attacked, the giant worm took a time a time to react, unexpectedly a little stunned. It became confused of the situation. Before it could slow down to act, another stone hit. This time, the force was bigger and more violent. It was also more accurate, directly smashing into its two open jaws, that it almost turned over.

Without waiting for the giant worm to stabilize.

Ka ba!

A tooth fell from the mouth of the giant worm.

The giant worm’s other tooth, though not as miserable, was also hurt. Even if its body was hard, it still could not stand a piece of big stone smashing to it. Not to mention it had dislodged a tooth, then how would it go on?

There was no cry, but the giant worm’s movements showed it was angry. Anyone who has dislodge a tooth while catching prey could not remain calm.

Abandoning its original prey, the giant worm turned to find the source of the throw. It has already felt the location of the stone-throwing man. The average person did have limited vision in such a fog, but the giant worm was different. It could even pinpoint prey within hundreds of meters in a thicker fog.

The giant worm under a rage rushed towards Shao Xuan’s location. Originally, it thought that when the one who threw the stone saw itself coming over, it would certainly run away and it only had to exert a little to chase. However, what happened was completely different from what it thought. The stone thrower not only did not escape, but also rushed straight towards it. Based on the man’s momentum, he was not afraid at all.

Shao Xuan has not hunted for a long time since he had been at the bottom of the sea, repeatedly doing boring activities, like eating, drinking, sleeping and running. As a person from the Flaming Horns tribe, he probably has this yearning for the kind of exciting hunting life in the mountains. After disembarking on this land, he had been itching to act. When he saw those camel beasts, he almost attacked, not waiting to restore his physical strength and act early. Therefore now, with the sight of this scene in front of him, of course, he needed to take more action.

In his body, the totem power was about to explode. During this moment, Shao Xuan could even hear the powerful beating sound of his heart, like the battle drums before a fight for inspiration. His blood was rushing, and every place in his body felt like it couldn’t wait to move.

How long had he not felt this way?

After a long silence, Shao Xuan once again found that old feeling. The same feeling when the tribe was in the mountains, hunting in the forest, their blood warm, unwilling to silence the power to become ferocious, like waves tumbling to sweep over everything. Even the stomp of each step on the ground would be accompanied by a roar, like a heavy beast had slapped on the ground. Compared to the other two people, Shao Xuan’s presence was closer to a fierce beast living in the mountains.

After a full stretch, he was refreshed. Thereupon, his body contracted and the next moment, he suddenly burst out.

When the giant worm stood up again, ready to attack, Shao Xuan stomped hard on the ground, under his foot was a burst of sand. As this foot raised in the air, a lot of the fog was washed away.

The strong impact drove his body forward. Shao Xuan quickly rushed towards the giant worm, breaking open the fog as a kick went to the giant worm’s throat, where the giant worm’s tooth and two slightly longer forelegs were at, which were not usually reached by anybody else.

The giant worm actually hesitated a little in the moment before it felt Shao Xuan’s attack. But what could it want to do now that it was already too late, retreat? It couldn’t retreat now!

Even if it noticed that something was wrong, what could it do? Shao Xuan’s foot was already near, faster than the giant worm’s reactions. It was simply too late to react!

Peng!

The sound produced by the hard collisions was like a huge hammer slamming on a rock, resounding in this white fog-shrouded world.

Taking advantage of the giant worm shifting its target, the young man had taken the girl away to a distance, then looked back at the giant worm. Originally, he thought about the person who had helped them, immediately returning to fight together. However, when he turned to look, he had a shock. The worm’s body was clearly in the air, flying out…

It’s flying…

The eyelids of the two young people twitched at the same time. They even had the impulse to rub their eyes to see if the fog was too big and what they saw was an illusion.

After it landed, the striped worm’s body rolled several times along the sandy ground, smashing several cacti.

There was also the sound of a lump falling, one of which fell to the young man’s feet. When he looked at it, he saw it was the scales that fell from the giant worm, with the inner side of the shell glued with some insect skins. The scales, which protected the insect’s body as an armor, were actually kicked down that a few pieces fell!

“This this…” The young man swallowed his saliva and spit out, “Who the hell is this?”

His hand holding the knife shook, as the young thought to himself, “Even if I had my usual sword on hand to chop it, I dare not say I could break off that layer of shell. Even to draw a deep print on that shell was also difficult, but that person unexpectedly smashed the worm’s shell bare handed!” He hissed as he kept staring at the bug that has been kicked over in its belly.

After being kicked to fly and landing in a tumble, the giant worm felt that Shao Xuan was still gaining momentum. Seeing that Shao Xuan was not moving to kick it again, the worm decided to leave and take care of its injuries. It crookedly crawled in a hurry underground. In the mean time, because its throat was injured, it could not eat. Its other injuries also needed time to heal. Anyway, during these times, it decided on not coming out. It even planned on getting out of here to avoid this place.

When the worm departed, two young people who came out to collect dew looked nervously at the figure coming towards them in the fog.

Although they were grateful of the other person’s rescue, seeing that scene just now made these two nervous that their forehead were sweating. Whatever they wanted to say was stuck in their throat. Even after opening their mouths a few times, no sound came out. They also did not know what tone they should use to speak. If they irritated the other side, would the two of them also be kicked?

Shao Xuan slowly walked toward those two people. Since he had just finished a battle, the power in his body has not subsided yet. The lingering seemed to hunger for more, making the airflow surrounding his body turbulent. Even the fog around Shao Xuan was dispersing.

After running at the bottom of the sea for so long, he was uncomfortable, the physical and psychological pressure giving double impact. After Shao Xuan exerted power just now, instead of weakening his physique, his body seemed to have strengthened, becoming stronger. The leg that kicked the worm was slightly numb, but it was not uncomfortable or hurt. When he rushed out, he seemed to have known that his foot would be undamaged.

When the Shao Xuan approached, the two people finally saw what Shao Xuan looked like.

Because he hadn’t had a chance to change his clothes for a long time, what Shao Xuan was wearing had rotten into rags, revealing his body through the holes. The smooth lines of muscle were like the hardest polished stone.

If they hadn’t seen the scene with their own eyes, it would have been impossible for them to guess how terrible the power was in this man’s body.

The two stared at the appearance of the person who had kicking the worm. He’s quite young. The other person’s eyes looked back at the two of them in an easygoing and friendly way, not giving anybody a ferocious feeling.

From the outside, the two really could not think that the man could have that ability.
