C302 – Most Beautiful Thing in the World
Posted on November 9, 2018 by AzureOrchid92
After Su Gu returned, every day, he had someone send some food that has not been slaughtered to his own residence. He said that he wanted to cook the food personally, but in fact, he was secretly training his enslavement ability.
As he practiced, there were successes and failures. And as time passed, the success rate of Su Gu’s enslavement was getting higher.
Su Gu fulfilled his promise, and initially sorted out some of the slave owner’s information. He had written it on a hide roll for Shao Xuan to see.
Shao Xuan kept these skin rolls together with a preliminary understanding of several major cities in the desert and the great slave owners of the cities.
On the sixth day, as Shao Xuan’s predicted, a sandstorm came. Before that, there was no warning.
Su Gu stood on the high platform of the palace, looking at the distant, fast approaching, muddy sandstorm, his apprehension of the tribal shamans became even worse.
It was always easy to be afraid of the unknown. In particular, such a profession was extremely rare in the cities of the slave owners.
The sandstorm instantly swept the whole city. The large particles of sand in the storm was close to the surface, scouring the ground of everything. The people standing in the way of the sandstorm would have to withstand the needle-like attack. Even some of the creatures with epidermis covered with scales were not willing to endure such pain, and would try to drill under the sand to avoid the sand attack in the surface.
The lighter dust was swept higher, blotting the sky out.
Prepared, the three people of the Flaming Horns tribe were staying inside the house. They had closed the doors and windows, listening to the banging sounds outside.
Outside, the camel “Mud” stood in the face of the sandstorm, its mane fluttering in its head. They were such species. They had already adapted to the desert life. Even in this sandstorm, it was not frightened, and some of the best of them could even walk freely in such a sandstorm.
When they heard the roar of a beast outside, Shao Xuan and the two rushed out with their equipment.
Some of the beasts in the sandstorm have crossed the outer walls of the city, breaking through the perimeter defenses into the town.
The other tribes were not out. Unless they saw those sandstorm beasts rushing to their doorstep, they would only come out to solve it. But these three people were not like this. These days, they were suppressed a bit, as it was rare for them to find things to vent on. For those who were in the habit of hunting since small, in the face of longer peroids of no hunting, they were feeling rusty for not moving in three days.
Was the beast in the sandstorm dangerous?
Yes, it was dangerous.
But the people of the Flaming Horns tribe were not afraid, as they have encountered such dangerous beasts again and again. They could only feel happy in these kinds of situation. Moreover, after killing those sandstorm beasts, they could also be eaten as food. Even if it did not have much meat, boiling the bone for soup was good enough.
If the other people knew of what the three people of the Flaming Horns tribe think, they must feel that people of this tribe were madmen.
Shao Xuan was not free to confront the sandstorm beasts alone. All three responded in a coordinated manner, as they did with hunting in the mountains.
Low visibility? That was nothing, as long as they have normal hearing. The movements of the sandstorm beasts in the storm, with careful discernment, could still be heard.
Finally, the beasts moved to the side where Chacha was also able to grab some of the rations.
When the sandstorm was over, everything came back to calmness. The people around could see that, near the “embassy” of the Flaming Horns tribe, there were sandstorm beasts hanging with smashed innards to dry.
The slave and slave owners of Luoye City changed their view of the three people of the Flaming Horns tribe again—fierce, strong, and with big appetites.
On the tenth day, the city was restored to its former state.
The tribal people all did their own things, coming and going in a hurry.
Shao Xuan knew that the people in these tribes have something to hide from their tribe, but it didn’t matter. He would figure out what these people were hiding soon.
On Shao Xuan and Su Gu’s appointed day, Shao Xuan and the other two people had already been ready to go.
This time, they did not plan to bring the camel, letting Su Gu send people to care of it, while Shao Xuan took Chacha as they left. Being inside for so long, Chacha should also go outside to relax, although the outside was a vast desert.

On the tenth day, Su Gu’s ability to enslave became more and more stronger. He felt that he was almost able to enslave slaves. However, until he has not enough certainty, he would not be enslaving slaves in the city.
After a long six months, Su Gu went out of town again. This time, he only went out with Wu Shi, plus Shao Xuan and the two with him, making them a five-people group altogether.
Su Gu said that the oasis where they were going belonged to his father. It was said that a long time ago, he stole it from the hands of other slave owners, and now, there were some people who wanted to snatch back that oasis, but have been beaten back. Resources were all based on looting, and then, kept safe by the strength of the guards. When one had no enough strength, one couldn’t keep it and would have to change ownership.
From Luoye City to the oasis, they probably needed to walk for two days. If one would travel lightly, traveling by foot hurriedly could have taken a day.
There were not many salutations this time. With Shao Xuan and the rest’s strength, in the desert, they did not feel too much difficulty. They only needed to guard against the appearance of the desert beasts.
Perhaps because the sandstorm had just passed, the desert was calm. Their sight were full of sand dunes that were as wide as the waves. When one look at them, there seemed to be no signs of life.
Out of the city, Su Gu finally told Shao Xuan the purpose of this trip. Although Su Gu said to other people in the city that he was going to go to the oasis to let the three people of the Flaming Horns tribe as his bodyguard. But in fact, he just wanted to find something, a beautiful stone, for Su Gu to give his father as a birthday gift.
The birthday of Luoye City King, Su Lun was coming. Su Gu decided to go to his father this time to show his presence more, so he could get more resources. There were many slaves in the city who have not yet recognized their owner, all of them were prepared to be rewarded to other slave owners. Because Su Gu has not yet been able to enslave, the king did not send the slaves to him. This time, Su Gu decided to seize the opportunity to pick a good one Slaves, too, have pros and cons.
“Stone? What kind of stone?” Shao Xuan was curious. What kind of stone was this that Su Gu was going out of his way to get and would even give it out as a birthday gift to the king?
Su Gu’s eyes was full of longing. That stone was something he had found before, but he was not strong enough, so he had no plans to take it out then. Now, in order to seize an opportunity, he decided to find the hidden stone again.
“It’s incredibly beautiful. It’s the most beautiful thing in the world.” Su Gu’s eyes looked at the distance, seeming to think back to that intoxicating feeling of seeing the stone.
Before reaching the oasis, Su Gu strongly demanded for Shao Xuan to sign a contract with him, swearing by the totem of the Flaming Horns tribe that he would not covet to rob that piece of stone. Of course, Shao Xuan also got a lot of benefits from Su Gu.
For the people of the Flaming Horns tribe, even the jade of the Mang tribe had limited attraction. Also, in Lei and Tuo’s minds, the best stone could be used as a weapon. If it was purely ornamental, what use could it have? For their hair? Can you hunt with that?
Hence, for what Su Gu said, Lei and Tuo did not care at all. Shao Xuan was more curious. What kind of stone was it that could fascinate a slave owner who had enjoyed a luxurious life since childhood.
At last, when they reached their destination, Su Gu stopped.
Shao Xuan looked around. There was no mountain, only tall sand dunes. The water of the oasis from a distance seemed to be coming out from underground. The place where Su Gu said the stone was hidden was not within the oasis, but in a place outside the oasis.
Looking up at the high dunes surrounding them, Su Gu judged the position, then rushed to one of the two high dunes, where he started digging.
Shao Xuan and the rest also came to help.
Time has passed for a long time. There have been some changes here, and wanting to dig things out would be very difficult.
Fortunately, Su Gu’s memory was good, but he still roughly judged where he buried the stone. After digging for half a day, he finally dug a wooden box buried in the ground.
“All of you, turn around and watch the surroundings!” Su Gu gasped, his eyes guarded.
“Can’t I have a look?” Shao Xuan asked.
Su Gu was a bit tangled, but he thought that Shao Xuan signed a contract with him, and the tribes value an oath to theit totem. Then, he also thought of Shao Xuan helping him. Su Gu was silent, but still defaulted to let Shao Xuan take a look.
Su Gu carefully took out the box from the sand, gently brushing the sand outside the wooden box, then opened the wooden box.
Inside was a thing wrapped in linen. Several pieces were combined to cover the parcel, making it fist-sized, but the stone inside was even smaller.
After taking out the things inside, Su Gu’s eyes seemed to only see this as the only thing under the sun that shone with dazzling luster.
Seeing what was in Su Gu’s hands, Shao Xuan’s eyelid twitched. He really never thought that he would see it here.
For a long time, Shao Xuan thought that it could not be found in this world. However now, it appeared in Shao Xuan’s eyes.
Looking at Su Gu who had been intoxicated, Shao Xuan really wanted to say, “Turtle three, it’s not a stone, it’s gold.”
Ooh, gold! So, they should find the mine or something. Or should be diamonds with the title.
