C306 – Fight

Posted on November 19, 2018 by AzureOrchid92

In his special field of vision, Shao Xuan could even penetrate the sand to see the feet and long tail covered with scales of the Quicksand Beast.

Before, this ability could not penetrate some blocked objects. However, with the ability improving, Shao Xuan could also gradually see through some of the blocking objects. In the tribe, inside the house of the two thieves, Shao Xuan had used this ability in such a capacity that he could look at what was buried under the soil. It was just that the thickness it could penetrate was limited.

The farther down the ground, the more blurred Shao Xuan could see. Therefore, now, even if he could see the other part of the Quicksand Beast under the sand, it couldn’t be seen clearly.

When hunting in the past, if they encountered an unfamiliar fierce beast, Shao Xuan would also use this method. However, during those the previous hunting times, he did not have so much leisure time to observe and study while hunting.

The habits of the beast, their habits during battle, and their flaws that arise during the battle, Shao Xuan could observe it as long as there was enough time.

Shao Xuan’s gaze moved to the Quicksand Beast that was fighting with the slaves at the edge of the oasis, constantly avoiding the fast attacks.

In just a moment, another five people were swallowed by the beast.

Shao Xuan also temporarily failed to see its physical weaknesses through the almost perfect defense of the Quicksand Beast. At least in his present view, only through uninterrupted attacks could they break off its outer scales, and then cause damage to it.

Suddenly, Shao Xuan’s eyes found that the powerful legs of the Quicksand Beast buried under the sand were bending.

“Dodge! It’s going to jump over!” Shao Xuan shouted.

Just when Shao Xuan’s voice fell, at the edge of the oasis where the Quicksand Beast was, countless grains of sand were set off. The sand beast’s huge body jumped off the sand, and its whole body was pulled out off the sand completely. The dust was like that of a reverse waterfall, rushing upward, then flowing down after it reached its peak. While jumping into the air, the long tail of the beast was still vigorously swinging as it made adjustments.

The Quicksand Beast lost its patience. It did not intend to continue to fight with those people. It jumped out of the battle circle, but not to quit. Instead, it directly jumped over the five-meter-high wall made of wood and stone outside the oasis, smashing into the oasis, and beginning its wanton destruction.

Because of Shao Xuan’s quick reminder, Lei and Tuo together with Su Gu and Wu Shi managed to avoid it again. Shao Xuan originally intended to retreat too but then, he saw a “gap” in the Quicksand Beast.

That gap was at the lower side of the beast. It was located beneath the folds of the cloak on its neck. Moreover, the gap was not always there, but when the Quicksand Beast roared, it would open. Hence, when the Quicksand Beast stopped roaring, the “gap” would also disappear, like a door closing.

The Quicksand Beast that dived into the oasis shook its long tail vigorously. Its strong front paws and hind legs were also constantly stepping on the ground, like an armored car with a hard body directly knocking down houses and destroying things.

Dust and sand splashed around, as if there was a round of sandstorms. At the same time, the sandstorm maker was still in the oasis, moving around and wrecking havoc wherever it went.

The slaves’ attacks became rushed and disorderly. Even the slaves accidentally injured their own in the crisis.

Ai Shi shouted, but the slaves originally stationed in the oasis did not cooperate with the people brought by him. For a time, the oasis was in a state of confusion.

Wu Shi, who was together with Su Gu in the oasis, observed the battle farther away.

The house where Shao Xuan had just stood had been swept away by the tail of the beast, but he had found an opportunity. Shao Xuan went to a tree and whistled. He made a few gestures in the air and then jumped off. He did not stop dodging, avoiding the main attack range of the Quicksand Beast, but did not go far.

“What did Ah-Xuan wanted to do?” Lei asked Tuo on his side. He hafl wanted to rush over but was dragged back by Tuo.

“I don’t know what he planned. But since Ah-Xuan didn’t let us go yet, you should still wait right next to me.” Tuo said.

While the slaves in the oasis fought with the beast, a shadow flew in the sky. Then, a claw was drawn to the back of the Quicksand Beast.

The eagle’s claw collided with the scales on the back of the beast. It made a screeching, chilly sound, like metal cutting metal.

The scales on its back were the hardest part of its body. However, the eagle’s talons were effective. It was hard to leave a deep trace on the back of the Quicksand Beast. Although it was not bleeding, if you look carefully, the flesh has already been broken open quickly.

Looking at the shadow of the eagle flying through the air, the beast let out a golden light flash in its eyes, and a leg swept away a room that was blocking its front. The eagle screamed in the air, while the folds on the other beast’s neck blew up because of a roar, as if it was an angry lion.

In the air, Chacha also seemed to be deliberately provoking it. It also screamed at the sands, and looked for opportunities to swipe its claw.

After several times of doing that, the Quicksand Beast once again looked up and roared into the air.

It’s now!

Shao Xuan looked at the “cloak” that the beast had blown up. His eyes locked at the cracked gap under the “cloak”, and his legs burst out with a powerful thrust. Like a silent wind, he rushed towards the moving beast’s neck.

The screaming beast felt that there was something wrong in the air. Between a hasty movement to the next, it almost instinctively stopped roaring, moving the bones in its neck, and closing the gap.

However, it was still a step late.

Shao Xuan, who rushed out quickly, held the handle of a stone knife and stabbed the knife into the narrow gap that was about to close.

The gap, in the eyes of the others, could not be distinguished, because it has a color that was similar to the scales covering it. However, the scales were sparsely distributed. Because of the color of the skin, there were often folds and occlusions that were hard to see.

At the moment when the stone knife penetrated, Shao Xuan only felt that the stone knife in his hand seemed to pierce the densely packed skin and muscles. The resistance was great, and the sound made by the stone knife could be heard every minute, striking the bones beneath the cortex.

Fortunately, it was just “a mass of bones” instead of a “single slate”. In this way, there was always a gap that allows the blade to find a chance to advance, even if the gaps were only tiny slits that were invisible to the naked eye.

“Chi–”

The harsh whistling sound was different from the beast’s warning roars. It was more of a noise of suffering.

This was not caused directly by the attack, but a physiological reaction. Still, there was pain that it had suffered after this attack.

The Quicksand Beast swung its head, wanting to bite its neck to dislodge the one threatening it. However, it was an unreachable area, and the beast couldn’t bite the place anyway. It could only use its front legs to scratch.

After several failed attempts, the beast rushed to the remaining stone houses in the oasis.

Peng!

The remaining stone houses were knocked down one after another. Every time they hit, the Quicksand Beast intentionally smashed its neck against the stone houses.

Shao Xuan, who stabbed the knife into the neck of the moving beast, grabbed the handle and the scales of the beast each in one hand, preventing him from falling. Still, the self-mutilating collision of the beast did bring Shao Xuan a lot of trouble.

His back kept colliding on the stones. Shao Xuan could even hear them hitting the bones in his body. Fortunately, his physical strength was strong and he could temporarily withstand such pressure.

“Ah-Xuan!”

Lei and Tuo wanted to help, but was stopped by Shao Xuan.

“Get away! Don’t come over!”

At this time, Lei and Tuo rushed past to help. The Quicksand Beast became completely angry and frightened from the madness then. It didn’t know why such a small guy could give a huge threat to itself, and it was its fragile spot that was hit.

Even hitting a house or hitting a tree, knocking down a large piece one after another, still did not knock Shao Xuan down. The rampaging beast itself screamed several times, but every time it howled, Shao Xuan would send his knife to the gap again. The beast was being pained as it exhaled, since Shao Xuan always seized the opportunity to send a knife in.

The Quicksand Beast then wanted to sneak into the ground to escape. Its head was just drilled in half, but its tail was dragged back by talons.

Chacha couldn’t really catch this monster, but it can be done with a certain strategy. When it saw the beast wanting to drill the ground, it would grab its tail and drag it in the opposite direction.

Shao Xuan had continued hitting the beast’s neck folds, but he felt heavier as time went by.

Looking at the stone knife that he pulled out from the flesh, he noticed that it was only the knife handle left. Shao Xuan pulled back his arm and made a fist. The force of the totem gathered into his arm and his blood seemed to be squeezed in his veins. Shao Xuan could even hear the power in his arm because of the totem. The flow on the collection of his bones exploded, while a strip of blue veins burst.

His fist trained on the open seam again because of the roaring of the beast, and his entire arm suddenly slammed down after it accumulated enough power. The powerful force suddenly hit, and the shock ripples scattered.

The power went under the skin, hitting the spot connecting the internal organs. It went under the bones, gathering together, and shaking the hard meat like tofu.

Peng–

The screams after were sharper and harsher.

The blood with the same color as the sand dunes was vomited from the Quicksand Beast’s mouth. Shao Xuan himself was immersed in the blood splashed by the vomitting.

The blood of the beast was not as hot as its color, but was cold.

His attack was effective!

Shao Xuan did not stop. Once again in the same area he just hit, he punched and punched.

The beast was weakening under such bombardment.

Its collision with the houses was ineffective, and the folds on its neck were trying to squeeze to close. However, it was impossible to stop Shao Xuan from attacking again and again.

The screaming sound continued. The dust that picked up from the rolling beast caused a whole layer of sand to the oasis.

The other people around it, including Su Gu, who was protected by Wu Shi, were shocked to see the rolling figure in the sand.

What exactly happened?

Why did the Quicksand Beast suddenly react like this?

Was it after that tribe member rushed over? After rushing over, what did he do? action

They couldn’t know just by looking at the huge figure that was screaming and tumbling. The slaves who had just fought the beast couldn’t help but swallow in their throats. This, what is going on?

Note: If you think the description of the actions here doesn’t make sense, it’s not my fault. The raws I had on Bing was incomplete and I only used google to do the latter two-thirds, I think.

Don’t know the title too. I also tried to look at Qidian but it wasn’t clear there either. ˉ_(ツ)_/ˉ
