Chronicles of Primordial Wars Chapter 306 – Fighting

With a unique field of vision, Shao Xuan could even see the legs and long tail of the Quicksand Beast, which were full of scales, under the sands.

Shao Xuan could not see objects through the obstacles before. As the ability improved, Shao Xuan could gradually penetrate through some obstacles. When they were in the tribe, Shao Xuan used this ability to see the things buried under the soil layer in the house of the two thieves. But the thickness that can be penetrated was limited.

The deeper the things were under the ground, the more ambiguous Shao Xuan’s sight was. Therefore, although he could see the other part of the Quicksand Beast under the sand, he couldn’t observe it carefully.

When encountering strange or unfamiliar beasts during hunting, Shao Xuan would also use this method, but he did not have that much time to observe the prey carefully while hunting.

As long as there was enough time, Shao Xuan could observe many things such as the fighting habits of the beasts and the weaknesses that were p.r.o.ne to occur during the fighting.

Shao Xuan’s eyes s.h.i.+fted towards the Quicksand Beast, which was avoiding attacks of the slaves on the edge of the Oasis.

After a short while, five more people were swallowed by the Quicksand Beast.

However, Shao Xuan had not been able to find out the weaknesses of the body structure of the Quicksand Beast through its perfect defense. At the moment, they could only break through its outer scales by uninterrupted attacks in order to cause some damage.

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

“Everybody move back! it’s going to jump towards this side!!” shouted Shao Xuan.

As soon as Shao Xuan said these words, on the edge of Oasis where the Quicksand Beast was located, a humongous amount of sand was lifted up as the huge body of the Quicksand Beast jumped out of the sand. Its whole body had completely got out of the sand, and the dust was brought up like a reverse waterfall generally rus.h.i.+ng upwards, but then falling after reaching a high point. While leaping into the air, the Quicksand Beast’s long tail was still moving vigorously and making adjustments.

The Quicksand Beast had lost its patience. It didn’t intend to continue fighting against those people there. It jumped out of the battle circle, but it didn’t shrink back due to difficulties. Instead, it jumped directly over the five-meter-high wall which was made of wood and stone outside the Oasis, as it jumped into the Oasis and began to destroy it.

As Shao Xuan reminded everyone in time, Lei, Tuo and Su Gu, who was being protected by Wu s.h.i.+, avoided a tragedy again. But Shao Xuan, who had intended to avoid the beast, paused – he found a ‘gap’ on the Quicksand Beast.

That gap existed in the lower side of the neck of the Quicksand Beast, which was under the cloak-like folds of its neck. Moreover, the gap did not always appear, it only opened when the Quicksand Beast roared. When the Quicksand Beast stopped roaring, the “gap” would disappear just like a closed door.

The Quicksand Beast, who jumped into the Oasis, swayed its long tail intensely. Its strong front and rear legs constantly moved as the hard body that was like an armored vehicle knocking down sandstone houses directly.

Dust and sand splashed around everyone, as if there was a sandstorm. Meanwhile, the sandstorm maker also moved around within the Oasis and it brought sandstorms and destruction wherever it went.

The slaves began to attack disorderly, and some slaves even accidentally injured their team members.

Chi s.h.i.+ shouted while trying to stabilise the people, but the slaves who had been stationed in the Oasis didn’t cooperate with the people brought by Chi s.h.i.+. For a lengthy time, the Oasis was in chaos.

Wu s.h.i.+ took Su Gu out of the Oasis and observed the situation over there.

The room that Shao Xuan just stood in had collapsed due to being swept by the tail of the Quicksand Beast. Taking advantage of the situation, Shao Xuan jumped to a tree, whistled, made a few gestures, and then immediately jumped away, avoiding the attack of the Quicksand Beast but not keeping away.

“What does Ah-Xuan want to do?”, Lei asked Tuo, wanting to rush over but being stopped by Tuo.

“I don’t know what he’s doing. But since Ah-Xuan didn’t let us go there, we’d better wait here.” said Tuo.

While the slaves in the Oasis were struggling with the Quicksand Beast, a figure flew in the sky and a talon cut the back of Quicksand Beast.

The eagle talons collided with the scales on the back of the Quicksand Beast, making a “squeaky” sound, just like metal cutting.

The scales on the back were the hardest body parts of the Quicksand Beast, but Chacha’s talons were also sharp, leaving a deep trace on the back of the Quicksand Beast. Although it didn’t bleed, its flesh was about to break.

Looking at the eagle flying in the sky, the eyes of the Quicksand Beast flashed a golden light. Its paw swept away a house in front and it roared towards the eagle in the air. The folds on its neck raised up because of the roaring, just like an angry lion.

In the air, Chacha seemed to be provocative deliberately, as it also screamed back at the Quicksand Beast and attacked the beast with its talons.

After several times, the Quicksand Beast looked up again and roared towards the sky.

A perfect chance!

Shao Xuan looked at the raised “cloak” on the neck of the Quicksand Beast and locked the cracked gap under the “cloak”. His legs bent, jumped with great power and rushed towards the gap of the Quicksand Beast like a silent wind.

The Quicksand Beast, which was roaring towards the air, felt something was wrong. It almost stopped roaring instinctively, moved the bones of the neck and wanted to close the gap.

However, it was too late.

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

Others couldn’t observe the gap because it was the same color as other body parts of the beast and was covered with scales. However, the scales were spa.r.s.ely distributed. It was not easy to discover because it’s color was not distinguishable and it had been covered by folds.

The moment when the stone knife penetrated, Shao Xuan only felt as if the stone knife in his hand had pierced the gathering place of densely piled fine stones. The resistance was extremely high, and the sound of the bones rubbing the stone knife could be heard clearly.

Fortunately, it was just ‘the gathering place of stones’ instead of ‘a piece of stone slate’. There were gaps that allowed the blade to stab in, even though the gaps were so tiny that were invisible to the naked eye.

Hissing.

The harsh hissing sound was different from the warning roar, which had a more unbearable sonic wave.

This was not a deliberate attack but a physiological reaction, which was due to the pain that it has suffered after this attack.

The Quicksand Beast swayed its head and tried to bite off Shao Xuan’s neck, but Shao Xuan was in a blind corner. No matter how hard the Quicksand Beast tried, it’s mouth and front paws could not touch Shao Xuan.

After several failed attempts, the Quicksand Beast rushed to the remaining stone houses in the Oasis.

Bang!

The remaining stone houses were knocked down one after another. The Quicksand Beast intentionally hit its neck against the stone houses.

Shao Xuan, who stabbed the knife into the neck of the Quicksand Beast, held the handle with one hand and grabbed the scales of Quicksand Beast with the other hand in order not to fall to the ground. Nevertheless, the Quicksand Beast’s self-mutilated collision did bring Shao Xuan a lot of trouble.

The back continuously collided with the stone, and Shao Xuan could even hear the cracking sound due to skeletal dislocation. Fortunately, he was physically strong and could temporarily withstand such attacks.

“Ah-Xuan!”

Lei and Tuo wanted to help, but Shao Xuan refused.

“Get away! Don’t come here!”

At this moment, Lei and Tuo could not help. The Quicksand Beast had become very angry and frightened. It didn’t know why such a small creature just attacked the most fragile part of its body, which posed a great threat to it.

Shao Xuan still grabbed the scales of the Quicksand Beast tightly, but the Quicksand Beast himself screamed several times when hitting houses and trees. Every time it screamed, Shao Xuan would pierce the knife deeper. When the Quicksand Beast screamed out of the pain, Shao Xuan would seize the opportunity to penetrate the knife deeper again.

The Quicksand Beast, which was rolling on the ground, wanted to escape. However, when half of its head just drilled in the ground, its tail was dragged back by the talons of Chacha.

Chacha couldn’t catch this beast, but it could stop the beast to some extent. Noticing that the Quicksand Beast wanted to escape, Chacha immediately grabbed its tail and dragged it in the opposite direction.

Shao Xuan was. .h.i.t by the folds on the neck of the Quicksand Beast, which felt like being lashed by heavy whips.

Looking at the stone knife with only handle exposed outside, Shao Xuan clenched his fist and the totem power gathered into his arm. The blood seemed to be squeezed, and Shao Xuan could even hear the sound as the power of the totem in his arms gathered.

With the fist targeting the gap beneath the handle which appeared as the Quicksand Beast screamed, Shao Xuao punched the handle after acc.u.mulating force to his hand. As Shao Xuan punched, the power penetrated the attacked body part of the beast.

The beast wanted to move the bones desperately so as to close the gap which was under the skin and connected to the internal organs, but the hard flesh under the bones was shattered just like the tofu.

Next, a sharper, harsher howling sound was heard

The blood of the same color as the sand dunes was ejected from the mouth of the Quicksand Beast, and Shao Xuan was also wetted by the blood.

The blood of the Quicksand Beast was not as hot as its color, it was cool.

It worked!

Shao Xuan couldn’t afford to take a break, and once again, he punched the place he had just attacked.

And the Quicksand Beast brokedown under such attacks.

Although the folds of the neck was squeezed at the moment, it was impossible to prevent Shao Xuan from attacking.

The screaming sound continued, and the dust that rolled up covered the entire Oasis in a layer of sand.

Other people including Su Gu, who was guarded by Wu s.h.i.+, stared at the rolling figure in the sand, shocked.

*What exactly happened?*

*Why did the Quicksand Beast act like this suddenly?*

*Did the tribesman rush over? What did he do?*

They couldn’t know. Looking at the huge figure that was screaming and rolling, the slaves who had just fought against the Quicksand Beast couldn’t help but swallow. “Wh, wh, wh, what is going on?”
