Chapter 307 – Who Deserves Credit?

The wail of the Quicksand Beast gradually weakened. Its rolling and crawling movements gradually slowed down.

A gust of wind blew towards the Oasis, taking away the sand above the surface.

As the murky sand faded and dispersed, the situation inside was finally revealed to everyone.

There had been many stone houses in the Oasis, two-thirds of which had now been destroyed. As for the remaining houses, even if they didn’t collapse, they were partially destroyed. The ground was uneven, while the surrounding houses and trees were covered with a thick layer of sand.

The clear water in the spring pool before became turbid afterwards and there were lots of dust floating in the water. The water would be clear again but they had to wait at least one night.

There was a high bulge in the area between the collapsed houses and the spring pool, with only a tail exposed. At this moment, Chacha was holding the tail and dragging it out. The Quicksand Beast spared no effort to drill itself underground, while Chacha also tried to drag it out desperately. Chacha was weaker than the Quicksand Beast afterall. Fortunately, the Quicksand Beast finally breathed its last and could no longer continue to drill under.

“Ah-Xuan!”

Lei and Tuo rushed over anxiously. They didn’t care whether the Quicksand Beast had already died and just dug away the sand.

“What are you doing? Hurry up and help!” shouted Su Gu, commanding the slaves to drag out the Quicksand Beast.

The slaves were a little vigilant at first. Noticing that the two tribesmen were not hurt, they came to help drag out the Quicksand Beast together.

Bang!

A figure emerged from under the sand suddenly. The slaves who were dragging the beast were so scared that they loosened their grip and fell to the ground.

However, they relaxed when they saw it was a human who had jumped out.

“Ah-Xuan. Are you okay?” Lei and Tuo came to pull Shao Xuan out.

“Cough!” Shao Xuan cleared the sand in his mouth, ears and nose. Catching his breath, Shao Xuan said, “I’m okay, just a few broken bones.” Such injuries were not serious for Shao Xuan and he would feel better after taking a rest for one day.

After checking Shao Xuan’s injuries, Lei and Tuo felt relieved, then they also tried to drag the Quicksand Beast out of the sand.

Looking at the motionless Quicksand Beast, which was now completely dragged out, the slaves looked at each other and couldn’t believe what happened.

“Dead? It’s really… dead?”

“How can it die?”

“What happened?”

The slaves were puzzled and looked at Shao Xuan with fear in their eyes.

According to the rules here, the people of the Flaming Horns tribe were allies of Su Gu, so their achievements could be shared with Su Gu. Su Gu could even say that this was his achievement.

“But…but…third young master…” Some slaves still wanted to argue with Su Gu, looking at the huge Quicksand Beast on the ground unwillingly.

*How could you say this is caught by the Flaming Horns tribe? What did these three people do? Shouldn’t it be attributed to the people stationed at the Oasis? Most of the injuries on the body of the Quicksand Beast were caused by these slaves. It has nothing to do with the Flaming Horns tribe! The man from the Flaming Horns tribe only took the opportunity and killed the Quicksand Beast when it was already dying. How could this dead Quicksand Beast belong to you, the third young master?*

“Get away!” shouted Su Gu, pointing at the slaves, “You failed to catch the Quicksand Beast and even brought the Quicksand Beast to the Oasis! Now the Oasis has been destroyed by you guys!”

There were a large number of guards in the Oasis. However, today, before the Quicksand Beast came, nearly two-thirds of them were sent by Chi Shi to several places near the Oasis to catch a suspicious person. Thus, when the Quicksand Beast rushed over, those who were sent out did not come back in time. When they all returned, the Quicksand Beast had already been rolling on the ground because of Shao Xuan, which led to a sand haze in the Oasis.

The slaves who just came back looked at the slaves who brought the beast to the Oasis in anger. *They dared to bring the Quicksand Beast here! What’s more, it came at the moment when most guard slaves left the Oasis to patrol. Look at the ruined Oasis. The Lord would certainly be angry at them when he learns of it. If the Lord became angry, the slaves must be punished, especially the slaves guarding the Oasis.*

One of the fierce-looking head guards of the Oasis went to Chi Shi. They were chasing a suspicious person when the Quicksand Beast attacked the Oasis. They didn’t expect that they not only failed to catch the suspicious person but they also had to face such a situation. Whispering a few words to Chi Shi, the head slave didn’t look at the slaves of the second young master and instead, commanded the other slaves to repair the houses. His master was the Lord of Fallen Leaves City, not any of the young masters, so he didn’t have to care about the young masters.

After hearing the information reported by the slave just now, Chi Shi thought about the incident carefully and thought that it seemed too coincidental. *Why did the Quicksand Beast attack the Oasis just when most Oasis guards were sent outside?* The second young master must have planned the attack carefully but it still failed. Perhaps, this accident was also caused by the people of White Stone City.

“You guys, come back with me to meet the Lord!” Chi Shi pointed to the slaves who brought the Quicksand Beast to the Oasis.

Hearing that they had to meet the Lord, the slaves suddenly felt scared and desperate.

Chi Shi didn’t look at them. He went to Su Gu and said, “Third young master, please join us to go meet the Lord together.”

Su Gu didn’t lose his temper this time. He also felt that the accident was somewhat strange. He nodded and said, “Yes.”

Since he had already agreed to meet the Lord, Su Gu wanted to present the Quicksand Beast to his father as well and take credit for the achievements.

Chi Shi didn’t ask Shao Xuan and the other two people to follow him. He still viewed the three people skeptically and vigilantly.

Shao Xuan didn’t care about it. His purpose was not to show his strength in front of these people. He didn’t care about what these people thought about him. This time, he could have just stood by, but he chose to attack the Quicksand Beast so as to look for Dao Yu.

As per Su Gu, if the three people of the Flaming Horns tribe went directly to White Stone City to look for Dao Yu, they would probably never come out alive. Most cities in the desert were not friendly to tribesmen, but this was only a secondary point. What’s important was that Shao Xuan didn’t know if he could actually find Dao Yu even if they managed to sneak inside White Stone City.

However, if they could go to Beast Battle City, the situation would be different. They could see not only Dao Yu but also Beast Battle City.

The best way to go to Beast Battle City was with Su Gu. If Su Gu could leave a good impression to the Fallen Leaves Lord, they would have the opportunity to go to Beast Battle City. There had been tribesmen who went to Beast Battle City together with slave masters in the past.

On the day when Chi Shi and the others returned to Fallen Leaves City, many people saw the Quicksand Beast, which was being dragged inside the city on a big vehicle.
