Chapter 329
C329 – Palm of His Hand

In the place where the fighting beasts were kept, a barn-like room had a huge beast lying there quietly.
It was a bull with a large sharp horn, and if it was in a better place outside, one could see its brown fur.
This was the fighting beast that Red Star City has played every year for nearly five years, with five victories. Because some of the patterns on its back were like fire, the people of Red Star City called iy the Flame Bull.
This flame bull has been enslaved by the king of Red Star City. It was not the first time it participated in the Battle at the Colosseum, even entering many times as a finale.
The sounds of the Colosseum were annoying but it did not make it crazy. There were some drugs that would keep it quiet for the time being.
There were not much light rays coming in from the holes on the walls. However, the dim environment did not have much effect on it.
Suddenly, it heard the movements on the ground. It looked around and saw a bug crawling out from underground.
The flame bull did not heed it. After taking a look, it continued to rest, preparing for its coming battle. Why would it look at the bugs?
When they thought that the horned lizard beast would come again in a flash, it unexpectedly crossed two steps, stopped, then roared.
The grains of sand on the ground shook, rushing straight to where Shao Xuan and the rest were located.
The four slaves had long ago retreated but without sprinting. Step by step, they were thinking of not trying to arouse the attention of the horned lizard beast. The Yu tribe and Tian Shan tribe people have also retreated several steps, in the face of the impact of the shaken sand and did not go back again.
In this way, the closest to the beast were the three people of the Flaming Horns tribe.
With this scene, there were a remaining of ten people in the field, the other seven were clearly in a safer distance. In any case, the first to face the giant beast’s attack would be those three.
Lei and Tuo were headed by Shao Xuan, hence they did not move.
His outer cloth was blown back by the wind, so Shao Xuan pulled his hat to cover his head. Then, he lifted his foot to go towards the giant beast.
With Shao Xuan’s move, Lei and Tuo also moved. Probably thinking that Shao Xuan issued a signal to attack, Lei copied him, holding his knife as he walked forward. If it was a hunt, he would not be so impulsive, but here, the pressure in the atmosphere pulled his nerves. After seeing the beast, he didn’t even want to leave.
He’d be willing to die, at least to try to give Shao Xuan and Tuo a way to create some opportunities. If he could hurt the beast with a few knives, that would be better.
However, before his plan to try to fight the beast has even started, Lei was tugged back by Shao Xuan with Tuo at the other side.
Shao Xuan lowered his voice and said quickly, “You two stay here first. If I can’t stop it, later, you can go fight.”
Tuo also wanted to say something but Shao Xuan waved it away. Then, he continue towards the giant beast again.
“What is he going to do?” a man from the Yu tribe asked.
“Is he out of his mind?”
One of the people from the Tianshan tribe recalled that in their tribe, when the shaman heard the news of the Flaming Horns tribe coming, his evaluation was: They were mad men.
Now, it seemed that the people of the Flaming Horns were really crazy. It was enough if they just retreat, but they would still go forward!
Not only the other people on the battlefield, even the slave owners on the stands were thinking the same. Was the man in the eccentric hooded cloth looking for death?
Still, no matter what others thought, Shao Xuan continued to go forward, his long sleeves covering his hand so that people could not see if he had a weapon in the end.
Shao Xuan not retreating made the giant beast vigilant. It ignored the other people as its two micro-close eyes opened a little bit, closely staring at the person approaching. The other people couldn’t feel it, but the beast can clearly detect the strength of this person every step of the way.
Twenty meters…
Ten meters…
Five meters…
Shao Xuan could even smell the muddy scent that the beast exuded.
The giant beast looked at the person coming near, then roared loudly. It raised a front paw, planning to move towards Shao Xuan to shot him down.
But Shao Xuan was faster as he lifted an arm.
The accumulation of all the momentum in this one instant burst out. In his mind, the totem flame violently coiled, wrapping in the outer shell as it became shiny. Five blue flames came from inside out, like a sea dragon swimming along his meridians, unstoppable as it rushed over his arm. From his lifted arm, his five fingers opened out.
Peng!
The blue flames wrapped around his palms.
The sand that was raised by the roaring of the beast centered on Shao Xuan. At the moment the flames appeared, a layer of visible ripples covered the surrounding area.
