Chapter 229 The Executioner in the Desert
"no!"
Xiaowanzi flew in front of Yu Ran and blocked her.
Then he stared at the kitten eagerly.
"You little bitch, don't steal your master from me!"
It said tastefully.
But the kitten ignored it, ran straight to Yu Ran's feet, and rubbed Yu Ran's calf with its soft body.
Xiaowanzi was so angry that he kept fluttering his wings.
This scheming cat!
The kitten didn't care about Xiaowanzi, and acted coquettishly and cutely towards Yu Ran.
Maruko:! ! !
Yu Ran was a little helpless, "Okay, you two."
She looked at the little cat and said, "Since you want to follow me, you must obey me from now on and stop harming others at will. Besides, Xiao Wanzi is my first spiritual pet. From now on, you must respectfully call him big brother."
The kitten nodded obediently.
Yu Ran smiled and smoothed Xiaowanzi's hair, "Are you satisfied now?"
Xiaowanzi turned his head to the side and groaned.
"If it dares to commit any of the following offenses, I will deal with it."
This is to admit the kitten.
Maruko flew up to the kitten and sounded like a big brother.
"You know you have to listen to me from now on?"
Kitty rolled her eyes, and just when Xiaowanzi was about to get angry, she nodded again, and Xiaowanzi was relieved.
"It's your acquaintance."
Yu Ran shook her head and smiled. She looked at the glimmer of morning light on the horizon.
"Okay, it's almost dawn, let's go back quickly."
"Huhuhu~"
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly came from not far away.
The sound was like a ghost crying or a wolf howling, ferocious and manic.
"cat!"
The kitten immediately arched its body, scratched the ground with all four limbs, and screamed anxiously, as if it had encountered something terrible.
Yu Ran raised his head and looked into the distance, and saw the slightly bright sky. Suddenly, it was filled with darkness. The strong wind roared, and countless sand and stones were rolled up by the strong wind. It was like a huge curtain, with a momentum that swept the heaven and earth, attacking violently. !
Her eyes suddenly narrowed.
not good!
The sandstorm that the fellow said is coming!
In the blink of an eye, the sandstorm was already approaching Yu Ran.
She quickly teleported away with Maruko and Kitty.
The moment she left, the sand and gravel had already wrapped around her ankles.
If we were one step slower, we would definitely be buried in the yellow sand.
Yu Ran teleported twice in a row and returned directly to the camp.
She looked back at the sky over the desert. It was completely dark now, as if it was about to rain heavily.
Many people in the camp were already up.
They looked up and talked over each other.
"Boss! You are finally back!"
A surprised voice suddenly came from behind Yu Ran.
She looked back and saw Qiu Qiu running towards her with a tired but happy face.
Yu Ran raised his eyebrows, "Why do you look like this?"
He looked tired, as if he hadn't woken up.
"It's okay, it'll be fine if you come back. We're all worried to death." Qiu Qiu pursed his lips and smiled.
"Boss!"
At this time, Sun Sen and Shi Liang also ran over.
Sun Sen circled around Yu Ran, "Boss, are you not injured?"
"How can I be hurt?" Yu Ran wondered.
She looked at Sun Sen and Shi Liang again. They also looked like they hadn't slept well.
Thinking of the way they and Qiu Qiu looked when they first saw her, Yu Ran seemed to have guessed why they looked like this.
"You won't be looking for me all night, right?"
Sun Sen rubbed the back of his head and smiled naively, "Not even a night, just a few hours. It would be nice to see you okay."
"Hey, boss, why is there a kitten beside you?"
Shi Liang squatted down and reached out to tease the kitten.
The kitten bared its teeth and almost bit his finger.
He quickly stopped his hand and said with lingering fear, "I'll go, this little kitten is so vicious!"
Qiu Qiu's eyes brightened a little, "This seems to be a sand dune cat."
"Dune Cat?"
Sun Sen looked carefully at the kitten at Yu Ran's feet.
"It's really similar. The sand dune cat is the smallest cat species. It lives in the desert all year round and feeds on venomous snakes, birds, and insects.
Despite its small stature and cute appearance, it is known as the executioner in the desert and is very cruel. "
But why does this sand dune cat follow their boss?
After hearing what Sun Sen said about himself, the sand dune cat still held its head up very proudly.
Sun Sen said funnyly, "This cat is quite smart."
After learning that Yu Ran was back, Yu Wenlin finally felt relieved.
The dust storm in the desert lasted for two days.
To ensure safety, everyone only set off on the fourth day.
Following Master Dengyun, they came all the way to the canyon that Yu Ran had visited before.
Just when Master Dengyun, Yu Wenlin and others wanted to go in and take a look, Yu Ran stopped them.
"Little friend Yu, why did you stop us?"
Master Dengyun looked at Yu Ran in confusion.
Yu Ran told him about his previous encounter with the sand dune cat.
"Little friend Yu, do you suspect that the closer you are to this place, the more likely you are to be affected by the yin energy here, which will make you contaminated with evil spirits, change your character, and become violent and cruel?"
Master Dengyun frowned.
Yu Ran nodded, that was what she was worried about.
"This is just my personal conjecture, but just in case, I think we can station ourselves nearby and have people take turns to guard the cave entrance every day."
Although the prophecy says that all ghosts will appear on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, but what if some ghosts come out of the exit in advance?
Now that the time is getting closer, you still have to be prepared for what you should be prepared for.
"Young friend Yu's worries are not unreasonable. I think this method is feasible."
Master Dengyun agreed very much.
"There are only a few days left before the ninth day of the lunar calendar. We must not be careless. We must not have any accidents at this critical time and damage the morale of the military."
After that, Yu Ran discussed with Yu Wenlin to change posts every two hours.
Those who have been rotated will no longer be on duty.
This will ensure everyone's safety to the greatest extent possible.
As a result, more than 2000 people set up tents again.
Time flies, another three days.
This evening, just after everyone fell asleep.
The two men on duty at the entrance of the cave were chatting boredly.
"It's really unlucky. Everyone is sleeping soundly in bed, but we have to come here to watch."
One of the thin men curled his lips.
The other fat man sighed, "What can we do? Who made us just draw the note on duty?"
For the sake of fairness, the candidates for duty are determined by drawing lots.
Except for Master Dengyun, others including Yu Ran, Yu Wenlin and Mu Nianhu all drew lots according to the rules.
"I really don't know what they are guarding. Didn't they say that ghosts would come out only on the ninth day of the lunar month? We are just wasting our time guarding here now."
"Forget it, it's only two hours, let's hold on for a while."
"But just standing like this is boring. Hey, do you think we should go inside and take a look?"
"You don't want your life!" Fatty exclaimed, maybe thinking he was too loud, so he covered his mouth and whispered, "What if a ghost suddenly escapes from inside?"
"What are you afraid of? Haven't you read those martial arts novels? The more dangerous the place, the easier it is to find treasures. Besides, it's not the ninth day of the lunar calendar yet, so ghosts won't come out."
