Chapter 315



For the more sensitive people around, even if they could detect something, the flames in Shao Xuan’s hand had already disappeared. When they could not find the source of the energy fluctuations, they’d only think that the other slave owners had itchy hands and would not care.

Shao Xuan then followed Su Gu to the other pits to watch a few beast fights. There were some battle with beasts, but most of the time, it was slaves fighting inside the pit.

Every year, Beast City would be burying some slaves, but they would also make new ones. For the slaves, the trip to the Colosseum was a good opportunity, like last year’s Dao Yu, who took a glorious victory in the center of the Colosseum, hence, his position within the Baishi slaves increased greatly.

Afterwards, Su Gu pressed a few bets again, winning and losing some. If he won, he would let Shao Xuan help him pick a box to be under the limelight again. But Su Gu was not too stupid. He knew not to overdo it, therefore, several choices were still his own. Although this made him choose poorly, he had reduced some people’s doubts. Besides, his harvest today was far more than he expected.

Since he received Shao Xuan’s help, Su Gu naturally gave more care to the three people of the Flaming Horns tribe. He also informed Shao Xuan of the news he heard in the slave owners’ circle.

Back to their camp, Shao Xuan went inside the house to rest for a while, then said to Lei and Tuo, “Help me look at the door outside. I have something to do.”

“Ok.”

The two did not ask Shao Xuan what he was going to do. Usually, when Shao Xuan would record things, they would also be guarding outside the door. Some things should not be seen by the slave owners. Therefore, at this time when they heard Shao Xuan said he had something to do, they did not think of anything else. The two people just went out to stand by while talking about the day’s events. If someone asked for Shao Xuan, they would tell them to return later, and won’t let anyone else enter the house.

After Lei and Tuo went out, Shao Xuan carefully examined his surroundings, making sure that no one was around, before raising his hands.

He saw several fights among slave owners to fight for other slaves today, and he had seen the enslavement of the slave owners on the spot.

Every time the slaves were enslaved, a flame would appear in Shao Xuan’s mind. It was similar to Su Gu’s, albeit there was a difference between the fire structure, but it was not as great as the totem flames between the tribes.

During the ritual, the power of the fire was volatile. However, every trace of movement and rotation of the enery, Shao Xuan remembered clearly. Every time it happened, the impression deepened more, even when he was only watching. Shao Xuan only had the image of it just then because many slave owners were around, and he did not let the fire out. Now that he was back here with no other people around, it was a good opportunity to try.

Before leaving the tribe, Shao Xuan had a discussion with the Shaman about the power of the slave owners. It was hard for the tribes to imagine how the power of the group slave owners came to be and how the power was given. Shao Xuan now determined that the power of the slave owners was very similar to the energy of the tribe’s fire seed. He even speculated that these two forces may be homologous.

Recovering his thoughts, Shao Xuan mobilized the power in his body. The totem flame in his mind was filled up, with the blue flame more active. Some slender filaments stretched out, then gathered together to extend.

Shao Xuan only felt a pressure from hid head down through his neck, then shoulder, going along his raised arm, then straight ahead.

The totem lines on his face and other parts of his body were revealed. The totem lines on his arms have been rushing through his elbows, stopping at the place close to his wrist. However, the pressure did not stop there, and still continued to move forward. It seemed to Shao Xuan that it would rush out of his arms.

Peng!

A loud, imperceptible sound.

Then, Shao Xuan’s palms were surrounded by a blue flame that suddenly emerged.

At first, these blue flames, which darted out of his palms, were scattered and seemed to dissipate at any moment. But soon, they became solid and stable, clinging to Shao Xuan’s palms.

Shao Xuan looked at the flame coming out of his hand. This was different from when he used the tribal engraving secret to engrave Caesar. This time, there was no totem appearing in his hands, and the feeling was also different as he was more fierce and strong.

As he retrived his power, the blue flame disappeared in his palm, and when he mobilized it again, the blue flame appeared.

He did this back and forth several times, and Shao Xuan was able to do this more skillfully.

Was this the power of the slave owners to enslave?

He just din’t know whether he could really use it to enslave.

Thinking about it, Shao Xuan thought that he should practice with a smaller creature like Su Gu did at the beginning.

His sight swept around the house, and Shao Xuan found a black beetle that had drilled out from a hole in the corner. The beetle that crawled out of the hole was originally going in the other direction but was intercepted by the Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan looked at the beetle that was not bigger than a finger, thinking that the insect was familiar but he couldn’t remember what kind of beetle it was. The Beast City was located in this piece of desert with relatively low temperature all year round. He did not expect that these kind of insect would still come out in such a cold day. This was extremely rare in other places.

However, there were many unusual creatures here, hence, Shao Xuan no longer thought of it. Instead, he thought of using this beetle to try to learn the method of enslavement, even though he wasn’t sure it would work.

He’d still give it a try.

Shao Xuan mobilized the power in his body again, and felt the touch of the blue flames extending out through his arms.

When a solid blue flame appeared in his hand, Shao Xuan turned to the beetle that could easily be crushed by a finger on the ground. He reached out and hit the insect with the flame.

At the moment of contact with the beetle, Shao Xuan seemed to see a strip of flame stretching out toward the beetle to bound it tightly like a bundle.

The struggling beetle, with the bundle of filaments, struggled less and less, until it finally stopped.

When everything was done, the blue flame in Shao Xuan’s hand had disappeared. Everything around him was no different, except for the little black beetle that was obediently staying at Shao Xuan’s foot.

Did it work?

Shao Xuan looked closer at the beetle at his foot to make sure it wasn’t dead, but just stayed in the same place.

Insects were not like humans, not to mention these low-grade insects. They could not speak, express themselves, nor communicate. Therefore, Shao Xuan would not know whether his first attempt at slavery was successful or not in the end. And how successful was it?

Su Gu’s first slave was the turtle that has already been sent to the pot. The beetle would not even reach the extent of being cooked, so Shao Xuan temporarily did not intend to crush it, and set it aside for observation.

The beetle probably sensed that there was nothing else to be done, and went back to the hole.

The ground was not paved with slate. It was all sand, so it was common for insects to make holes but Shao Xuan was not thinking of plugging the holes.

Looking at the beetle going into the hole, Shao Xuan got up to get a breather. However, after taking two steps, Shao Xuan suddenly thought of something and jerked his head back to look at the beetle still crawling towards the hole. The muscles on his face twitched twice and he suddenly wanted to laugh, feeling helpless and slightly embarrassed.

He remembered why he thought the beetle looked familiar. Although there were some differences in the appearance of this beetle in front of him, it was very similar to that of an insect in his memory.

As for the name of that beetle, it was the scavenger in nature, the dung beetle.

Yuck! At least Su Gu’s was a turtle. XD Anyway, the title was kinda the same as when Su Gu enslaved the turtle.
