Chapter 416 (2/2)

Tang Xiu was silent for a moment. Shaking his head, he then slowly said, “Here is not a good choice of campground. This place is already inside the Ghost King Valley range. You’ve seen those wild animals before. There are a lot of them, and they are very strong. If we stay here, I’m afraid we will have to guard against those wild animals’ attacks all night.”

“What should we do then?” Ji Shiyan asked, “If we enter Ghost King Valley, I’m afraid we won’t have time to rest either. Besides, the surrounding environment will be even more dangerous for us.”

“Let’s look for a cave.” Tang Xiu said, “We’ll divide into groups of three to look around for a cave to temporarily occupy. Although staying in a cave is not necessarily safe, it’s much safer than sleeping outside.”

“How can there be any caves here.” Ji Shiyan forced a smile.

“Secretary Ji, you said it before, didn’t you?” Li Laoshan’s expression suddenly flickered as he said, “Tons of people came to Ghost King Valley, yet no one was able to return. Maybe they faced the same situation as us. Hence, they should have dug a cave nearby! Listen to Brother Tang and search it!”

“OK!”

Ji Shiyan replied and began searching with the bodyguards. Soon, a pleasantly surprised news came over. A group of three bodyguards found a cave in a place about 700-800 meters away. The entrance to the cave was not big, and it was covered by weeds outside. If not because one of the bodyguards wanted to pee, they probably wouldn’t have found it.

“The cave is very small. Only five people can get in.”

After the group checked the cave, they found a problem after examining it, causing them to turn immediately disappointed.

“The cave doesn’t have enough space. We’ll take a short break and then begin to dig.” Tang Xiu squinted his eyes and said, “We should be able to double the space in a few hours. Then, five of us must stay outside to keep the night watch, while the others rest inside the cave. As long as everyone takes turns and stays alert, we can pass this night safely.”

“But we have no tools, Mr. Tang!” A bodyguard forced a bitter smile.

“I think we do. Aren’t there two shovels in your backpack?” Tang Xiu said, “The others also brought a dagger each, so we can use them.”

“This… All right!”

Under Tang Xiu’s command, everyone began to dig. The cave finally enlarged after spending more than two hours, and it wouldn’t be a problem to accommodate eight people inside at the same time.

_Roar…_

At this moment, when everyone was sitting at the mouth of the cave tired and catching their breath, a beast’s roar sounded outside.

“The ones with guns, bring them and guard the entrance. The rest enter the cave! The beast’s howl was very loud, so it should be a beast. After you’ve finished positioning yourselves, I’ll have a look at it!” Tang Xiu quickly let out a loud cry and rushed to the sound’s direction.

His initial speed was low, but it immediately soared after he was out of everyone’s sight. He was like a ghost traversing through the forested mountains. A few minutes later, his figure appeared in a bush. He then saw a dark rhino-like fierce beast with four snow-white hoofs through the slit of the bushes.

The rhino-like fierce beast was three meters tall, with eyes as large as a bowl and a more than 20 cm long horn on its head. Facing it were three nearly two-meters-high white tigers who were constantly roaring at the rhino-like fierce beast. From the looks of it, they were ready to attack it at any time.

_This rhino-like fierce beast is definitely a high-grade fierce beast. Its strength is probably not lower than mine. Nevertheless, those three white tigers are probably very powerful as well. Otherwise, the rhino-like fierce beast would have already attacked and killed them_ , Tang Xiu secretly thought while hiding in the bushes.

However, at this moment, he had no fear. This rhino-like fierce beast may be very powerful, but it paled in comparison to the Fire Qilin in the Sky Cavern.

_It’d be good if they killed each other off, so that I and the others can safely look for the Demonic Revival Grass. Otherwise, except for me, who’s able to slip quietly into the depths of the Ghost King Valley, the others won’t be able to enter. Once these fierce beasts discover them others, I’m afraid there would be only a dead end for them._

Tang Xiu racked his brain for a moment, and then secretly decided. He bent his waist and quietly picked up a thumb-sized stone from the ground, and then quietly circled around to the other side. While restraining his own breath and aura, he then threw the stone at them.

The angle was extremely good!

Tang Xiu’s location when he threw the stone was exactly behind those three white tigers. However, the stone just scratched a white tiger’s body before fiercely hitting the rhino-like fierce beast.

_ROAR…_

The moment the rhino-like fierce beast and the three white tigers turned their heads, its forehead was hit. The beast was immediately infuriated as its four snow-white hooves trampled on the ground and dashed toward the three white tigers. Its speed was extremely fast. Faster than Tang Xiu’s speed when fully exerting his strength.
