Chapter 192 - We Are Also Refugees (1/2)

The gophers are not the only ones who are fleeting. There are ants in the size of eggs and insects which look like longicorn… All of these animals and insects are running out of their caves. This is like an evacuation.

Lin Luoran is desperate to go and find Baojia. However, she can’t understand a single bit of what the gestures of the cyan fox mean. Besides, the cyan little fox drags Lin by her trousers and leads her to follow the running animals — In fact, fleeting is the better word to describe them.

The situation is indeed not right. Along the way, Lin has seen gophers and ants fighting against each other a lot of times. The gophers may step on the ants and carry their bodies back to eat, and the ants may surround a gopher who is left alone and eat it clean.

The gophers and the ants are dead enemies. Now, they are running side by side toward the same direction. There is no conflict in the tunnels. All of them are just fleeting quietly.

Under the cyan little fox’s lead, Lin decides to follow the gophers. Baojia is an adult and she is not stupid. If Baojia is in these tunnels, she will definitely follow the animals either.

Most likely, Lin may find Baojia at the destination of these fleet animals!

Lin stops hesitating. She holds the cyan little fox in her arms and joins the fleeting team along with Wen Guanjing. As expected, these gophers and insects don’t even try to attack the humans. Under the dim light in the tunnels, Lin and Wen run quietly.

These animals and insects have their ways to find the right direction in the complex tunnels. They keep running and barely stop to eat or rest. Along the way, more animals run out of other branches and join the fleeting team.

The ants in the behind sometimes buzz anxiously. It’s like that they believe falling behind means more danger. Therefore, Lin Luoran keeps running in the middle of the team.

As a matter of fact, Wen and Lin are not capable of running as fast as the animals. Especially, Wen hasn’t laid foundation so he can’t use the “Wind-riding Spell”. The tunnels are narrow, which makes it impossible for him to ride on the sword. Lin thinks that maybe she should help Wen. The next second, Wen takes out a piece of yellow paper and sticks it to his feet while murmuring to himself.

Yellow light flashes. Wen immediately becomes much faster.

Noticing Lin’s curiosity, Wen explains, “This is the Teleport Figure… The Qingcheng Taoist Temple custom-made them for my family.”

Lin Luoran is suddenly enlightened.

It turns out that magic figures are the special products of the Qingcheng Taoist Temple. It’s the same as the fact that cultivators of the Zu Mountain School are all swordsmen. Schools and families with their specialties can last longer… Should the Lin family focus on making boluses in the future?

Lin puts these thoughts behind her head and focuses on running.

The cyan little fox holds Lin’s neck tightly. It is wondering whether the white fox has started its cultivation and will it be safe from this chaos.

Though the tunnels are complex, Lin knows that they are going upwards. She has no idea how deep the tunnels are. They have been running for so long and the environment still looks the same.

How can these animals breathe underground? Lin has a feeling that the tunnels must be connected with the outside world — The scorpion king was most likely from the underground world. However, Lin hasn’t seen large animals like the scorpion king yet. The size of some gophers and ants is not normal, which also confuses Lin.

Along the way, Lin sometimes digs out some fluorescent things out of the ground and throws them into her s.p.a.ce while keeping up with the team. This underground world under the Kalahari Desert is clearly unknown to humans. Though Lin is not going to tell about it to the world after she gets out, she plans to study it by herself.

Intelligent little fox which can find medicine, gophers in the size of cats, and ants as big as eggs… The food chain here is clearly abnormal.
