Chapter 353 – Meeting People

The further he went, the less fog remained hanging around him. Although it was not too strong, it was still there. Unlike the places he’d traveled before, there were a lot more small beasts active. The atmosphere around them was not as harmless as it was before, hence, the area was full of a sense of quiet tension.

Shao Xuan tied his animal skin bag so his hand was only holding one knife. His footsteps were light, as he vigilantly moved forward.

It was at this moment that Shao Xuan heard voices.

For a long time, he did not see other people, but now, he had finally heard voices of humans. Although he knew he still had to be alert, Shao Xuan’s heart was indeed a lot relaxed. Meeting some people might not be new, but he was afraid that he was the only human in this land.

His foot shifted, turning to another direction. Shao Xuan moved towards where the voice was coming from. The fog in that area was thicker.

After listening carefully, he knew that there were two people speaking, and Shao Xuan could actually understand what those people were saying. The language here was more in favor of the language used by the slave owners. This also proved that the slave owners in the beginning may indeed have travelled from here.

Once again having proven a guess, Shao Xuan was in a better mood.

The two people also seemed to be collecting dew, as well as some plants that had absorbed the dew.

“Is that enough?” A young woman in coarse clothes looked at the man carrying a basket next to her.

Standing next to her, the young quickly watched their surroundings warily before glancing at the basket, then shook his head and said, “Let’s find some more. It hasn’t rained for a long time, and if it continued like this, it would be more difficult.”

“Ok, but remember to be careful as you looked for more.”

“I know… I’ll be careful! Back off!” The young man went up two steps and kept the woman behind him. Holding a strange knife with a long handle in his hand, he looked at something a little farther away.

Not far from them, there were some gravel slowly moving, making a subtle ‘sha sha’ sound. Beneath this, something was creeping.

Soon, the movement suddenly became larger. The other party seemed to know that it had been discovered, and there was no longer a need to hide. The ground raised a long line and something suddenly slammed. Like water vapor spewing out, the sand on the ground tumbled up to spray dust. The original cracked line along the ground revealed a long reptile.

A dark brown worm, three meters wide and ten meters long, rushed out of the ground. With its several feet and segmented body, covered in hard slices like armor, it came rushing towards the two people.

There was a sudden burst of power coming from the young man. Along with this power, some earthy stripes appeared on him. This is a totem warrior.

Like a snake, the giant worm stood up, showing the front of its body as it moved to attack the two. Seemingly aware that the man was more difficult to deal with after its two unsuccessful attacks, it shifted its target. It wobbled around the young man and opened its mouth with two sharp teeth, going towards the woman clinging onto the basket.

Although in terms of combat effectiveness, the young woman was indeed a little weaker, her skill at escaping was still good. Not having a bit of escaping ability could not make one survive long here. It was just that, under the pursuit of such a large beast, with more fog around, and with the rough ground, her speed reduced by a lot. After a slightly slip under her feet, another factor added to reduce her speed, affecting her escape.
