C324 – Breakthrough
Posted on December 25, 2018 by AzureOrchid92
Su Gu was also worried that Shao Xuan would disappear like Lei and Tuo during the chaos. When he saw him safe, Su Gu was relieved.
“Are you all right?” Su Gu asked, then pointed to Shao Xuan’s shoulder. “What’s that?”
Shao Xuan turned his head to his side and saw the needle-like white line on his clothes. This was not the silk that he has just used. Pulling it out to look, he suddenly said, “Oh, it should be the beard of the gerbil.”
How did the gerbil’s beard get to you? Su Gu thought. How did those gerbils run slowly, then cut its beard when they were in turmoil? He didn’t know which gerbil was so unlucky.
Seeing that Shao Xuan was fine, Su Gu focused on the slaves bringing the scorpion that just had its victory. Because of the sudden chaos, his spoils have not been given, but he could wait for the next time he’d see the Baishi people so he could chase them again.
The time was already late, hence, Su Gu also did not stay in the Beast City and went back with his people and animals.
Back at the Luoye City station, Shao Xuan ate something, then took a little rest, before riding away with the eagle. He needed to find a place to try to breakthrough.
Shao Xuan let Chacha fly outside, all the way to the beast desert. At the edge of the desert, he looked down over the high dunes, like waves in a sea of sand.
There was no movement at the border, and there were few desert beasts.
“Here.” Shao Xuan let Chacha down.
Shao Xuan’s last choice was in the middle of two dunes. As long as it was not in the air, the people in the distance could not see this way.
Chacha rested on the top of the dunes, and was in charge of alerting him.
Night fell.
Above the vast desert, the two round moon were close, circling in the sky. With the full moon night approaching, the two moons were closer together.
In the desert, the white snow reflected the moonlight, making the desert look like real ice sheet. People would ignore it for a moment, but not in the desert.
Everything around it was clear in the moonlight. If you stand on top of the sand ridge, you can even see some small animals that come out at night.
Shao Xuan sat on the sand, closed his eyes and felt the totem flames in his head.
The power of the totem in his body began to mobilize and penetrated into each of his meridians and blood vessels as the blood flows.
A senior totem warrior, compared to an intermediate totem warrior, exceeded the latter’s body strength by a large portion. Therefore, whether it was bones, muscles, meridians, or blood vessels, it would change under the force of the totem to withstand greater strength.
Under normal circumstances, such changes occur after a day of accumulation. Even with the help of a fire crystal to breakthrough, the change was not too fierce. As for the fire crystal, the energy for a totem warrior provided a gentle change. The bite was not strong, which was why the tribe use the fire crystal seriously. Unfortunately, Shao Xuan couldn’t use a fire crystal to breakthrough. When the tribe’s people use the fire crystal for ascension, he could only use fire crystals to relieve his fatigue and not any further.
But now, there was an opportunity.
In his mind, the totem flame curled up. The flames were getting taller and higher. Among them, the red and blue flame were very obvious, surrounding the double horns of the totem outward, expanding and expanding.
With the change of the totem flame, the strength of every strand in the totem in his body was like a rushing river, suddenly breaking out and flowing out. Break! Break! Another break! His meridians were widened and strengthened. His every muscle was also changing.
The pain caused by forced impact was obvious. His body was fighting a brutal war like millions of thorns were attacking his whole body. His muscle was twitching everywhere, his forehead with big drops of sweat, his breathing has become difficult.
His arm under the cover of his sleeve had swollen. If the sleeves were pulled up, you could see the meridians in his arms. The totem lines on his body, including the surface, and the other totem lines all changed from the original dark color into the color of the flame, same as what happened to Shao Xuan at the beginning at the edge of the fire pit during his awakening. At first glance, it was like drawn from a fiery lava.
The fire-colored totem pattern extended along his arm, rushing over to his elbow, then passes through his arm until his wrist, where, like a strong wall block, there was an obstacle not making it rush past.
The totem lines on Shao Xuan’s body became more and more bright, an accumulation ready to send out.
High above the sand dunes, Chacha maintained a vigilant attention on their surroundings. This time, if someone were to sneaked up to Shao Xuan, not only would they encounter failure, but also might be seriously injured.
Suddenly, Chacha heard something. It sharp eyes sweeping to a place which wasn’t far from the place where Shao Xuan sat.
Chacha opened its wings silently, going towards that side. If there were any unfavorable factors to Shao Xuan, it would rush over. But if it was just some insignificant little beast, it would not act as it might disturb Shao Xuan’s breakthrough.
In the sand, a hole was opened. From the ground, several small claws came out, followed by a small head, then the whole body of a small watermelon-like insect was seen.
Chacha saw the insect, the one who always rolled a dung ball.
Shao Xuan said to Chacha that it shouldn’t worry about the bug. Therefore, after seeing it, Chacha’s spread out wings were taken back.
The beetle circled around Shao Xuan, not going close. It seemed to be afraid of the flow in Shao Xuan’s body. Perhaps it also knew that now was not the time to greet, so it only lapped around then found a place to stay. Today, it didn’t find traces of Shao Xuan in the city station, so it went out of the station, then looked for Shao Xuan’s position and found him now.
Shao Xuan forced breakthrough this time was not short. Starting from nightfall, it continued until dawn.
Chacha swayed its neck, getting some activity to its stiff body, then it took off, flying in a low-altitude for a check around. It made sure that it did not see other people and dangerous beasts appearing before landing to continue to wait.
Looking around, Chacha found that the bug had run to the other side of the dune. Probably because it belonged to the border zone, with sand dunes on one side and snow-covered sand on the other side.
At this time, the beetle was rolling a snowball and walking on its own, with its two legs on the snowball.
When the sun finally shone on the sand dunes, Shao Xuan opened his eyes with a long sigh. He was sweating, but the wind appeared to be colder.
When he looked up at the ridge of sand, he saw Chacha standing there with the addition of the beetle.
He found the bug!
Looking around the totem flames in his head, Shao Xuan found that the blue flame’s activity was stretching out in a line, one end of the line connected to a small star.
The ignited star was probably the bug.
It was the first time that Shao Xuan felt the connection between the master and the slave. He was aware of it before the breakthrough, but it was not as clear as it was now. He didn’t know what those great slave owners felt like if they had enslaved so many slaves. How could they separate tens of millions of threads from the flames? What if you cut it?
After all, he was not an authentic slave owner. Shao Xuan was not sure whether it was the same as other slave owners. Now, he wouldn’t cut the line between him and the beetle.
When Shao Xuan looked at the ridge, the beetle was just pushing a snowball over the sand ridge. The snowball rolled down the steep slope of the dune until it reached Shao Xuan’s side, then he reach out to block it.
Just after breakthrough, Shao Xuan’s control under the new power was surely not good. When he blocked it and hit his hand, the snowball cracked.
There were a lot of sand attached to the snowball. He couldn’t see from the appearance of the snowball on the surface, but after it split, Shao Xuan found that inside the snowball, there was even a small finger-length lizard hidden!
After looking inside the snowball at the already no longer moving lizard, Shao Xuan was puzzled to see the blue beetle run down from the dunes. When had it began to kill lizards? Its preference have changed?
Shaking his head, Shao Xuan did not continue to study it, and turned his eyes towards the sky. Shao Xuan put up his arms to stretch his limbs. Although his body still has some pain, he could clearly feel his strength. Fine-tuning his body, he wanted to shout loud, but still endured. This place was not suitable for this.
“Come on. Let’s go back!” Shao Xuan said as he moved his legs up to turn over the dunes, running to the snow.
Instead of riding the eagle, he ran back completely with his two legs. He could feel the strength of his ascension, feel as the strength in his body changed and feel his body’s majestic power. While running, his body could feel the changes clearly.
