Chapter 273: The Desert Labyrinth (2)
After speaking, the two beasts obediently descended from the sky and directly transformed. Their faces were full of fawning as they looked at Leng Ruoxue. Boohoo… Is Master angry? The two beasts were extremely nervous…
Leng Ruoxue found it amusing. Looking at the two beasts’ careful expressions, she said very seriously, “Companions must love and protect each other, so you are not allowed to fight anymore.”
“Yes,” the two beasts answered obediently.
“As my beasts, you must be united against outsiders,” Leng Ruoxue added. Of course, she mainly said this for the sake of the newly joined white tiger.
“Yes.”
“Then let’s continue on our journey!” Leng Ruoxue said after storing the wind spirit stone in the bracelet.
The white tiger and Feng Zhan nodded, and then the human and four beasts continued forward.
“White tiger, do you have a name?” Leng Ruoxue asked while walking.
“My name is White Dawn,” the white tiger answered after thinking about it. Alas! It’s been a long time since someone called me this name. I would have forgotten it if Master hadn’t asked.
“White Dawn, what’s ahead?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
“I don’t know, but I should be the most difficult beast to deal with in this forest,” White Dawn said proudly.
“Then… how did the others get past you?” Leng Ruoxue couldn’t help asking.
“It depends on my mood! But Master, you’re the first human I’ve seen since I came here,” White Dawn said depressedly.
“…” Leng Ruoxue was speechless. It seemed like this white tiger was really almost bored to death.
“Master, it looks like there’s nothing left in front,” Feng Zhan said as he looked at the path that was already at the end.
“Yeah.” Leng Ruoxue nodded. It seemed like the first stage was really over because there were two golden portals not far away. She just didn’t know where these portals would teleport them.
“Master, we are the first to come here. The other two teams shouldn’t have come out yet,” Feng Zhan guessed. He didn’t want his master to let her imagination run wild!
“I think so too.” Leng Ruoxue looked at Feng Zhan’s nervous appearance and couldn’t help wanting to laugh. Am I such an unstable person?
“Master, there isn’t much danger in this forest, so you can walk out of it as long as you aren’t too unlucky,” White Dawn explained. He already knew that his master’s group had split up into three.
While they were chatting, Leng Ruohan emerged with his team.
“Xue’er!” Leng Ruohan exclaimed excitedly when he saw his little sister.
“Big Brother, Big Brother Feng, did you encounter any danger?” Leng Ruoxue asked with concern.
“Uh! We didn’t encounter any danger, but we did do a lot of physical labor.” Leng Ruohan smiled bitterly. Their group had probably done enough physical labor for the rest of their lives.
“Erm… What physical labor did you do?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously because she saw that her brother and the others were dirty and covered in dust.
“Lass! We dug up a lot of ores and materials, as well as countless herbs. Boohoo…” Old Zao wailed in pain. Today, he found out that looking at artificing materials all over the ground was also a very painful thing because he had to dig all of them up.
“Uh, give me all your rings!” Leng Ruoxue sighed sympathetically. Fortunately, she had the foresight to let them empty their rings and give them a lot of empty storage rings before they entered. Otherwise, they might not have been able to store everything.
“Okay.” Leng Ruohan and the others handed the full storage rings to Leng Ruoxue.
Leng Ruoxue took the rings and sent everything in them into the bracelet for Qing Jue to sort. Then she returned the rings to them.
“Xue’er, why isn’t Grandpa’s team out yet?” Leng Ruohan asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry. I said that there’s no danger here. They must have encountered the same thing as you.” Butterfly fluttered in front of Leng Ruohan and comforted him. He had to believe in its honesty!
“Big Brother, don’t worry. Grandpa’s team is stronger than yours. They won’t be in danger,” Leng Ruoxue also comforted.
After a while, Leng Qingtian and the others emerged. But their faces and bodies were covered in dust, looking extremely disheveled.
“Grandpa, what happened?” Leng Ruoxue’s eyes were full of question marks. What did Grandpa’s team do? Why do they look more miserable than Big Brother’s team?
“Xue’er, Grandpa’s darling! Grandpa won’t catch any more rabbits. Boohoo…” Leng Qingtian couldn’t help crying as soon as he saw his precious granddaughter.
“?” Not catching any more rabbits? What does that mean? Leng Ruoxue was even more confused. What did Grandpa’s team encounter?
“Oh, Little Girl! We caught thousands of rabbits with just a dozen of us and our beasts. Moreover, those damn rabbits could actually ignore the pressure of our might,” Old Man explained with a face full of tears and mucus.
“…” This time, Leng Ruoxue was really speechless. Her sympathy for her grandfather and his team was like a raging river flowing endlessly. They were really too pitiful.
“Wow! Rabbit! Rabbits in the mystic realm are the most delicious food! You’re in for a treat!” Butterfly said excitedly and flapped its wings even faster.
“Get lost!” Leng Qingtian couldn’t endure it and roared. He wanted to throw up at the mention of rabbits. How could he bear to eat one!
“Girl, your grandfather is so fierce!” Butterfly’s small black eyes held tears as it hid in Leng Ruoxue’s hair fearfully.
“Who told you to spout nonsense?” Leng Ruoxue didn’t pity the tactless Butterfly at all.
“Grandpa, let’s take a rest in the space later! We can continue after we’re rested,” Leng Ruoxue suggested after looking at the sky.
“Okay.” Leng Qingtian nodded vigorously. This was exactly what he was thinking.
“Ruoxue, here. This is our harvest.” Lin Liang handed the ring in his hand to Leng Ruoxue.
