Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 628 Big Crab

Qin Yan's family became refugees because of the war. Some members of the family starved to death, some were conscripted into the army, and in the end only a toddler was left. If the heroes of the Sixteen Villages had not been able to bear it and take the child back to adopt, the child would have become a wandering ghost.

These rough guys are good at climbing walls and climbing rooftops, but raising children...

After experiencing several incidents where diapers were almost used as steaming cloths for steamed buns, the task of taking care of Qin Yan was mainly given to Zhou Yuxuan, who came to learn the skills from him.

Zhou Yuxuan was not very old at that time, but he had many younger brothers and sisters at home and knew how to take care of children. To Qin Yan, Zhou Yuxuan was both a brother and a father. Nothing others said would work. Qin Yan would become timid as long as Zhou Yuxuan glared at her.

Yang Yiyi insisted on chasing after him because she was worried about her friend's safety, and Qin Yan insisted on chasing after him because she had to find out what had happened to Zhou Yuxuan.

Although she didn't show it much, Qin Yan was actually very anxious and wanted to find Zhou Yuxuan immediately.

But then again, this is not something that can be done in a hurry.

The three men checked the scene and confirmed that there were no survivors. They searched again and only found a few notes written in Western language.

Li Chengxi translated it and the information he got was similar to that obtained from the interrogation, without any key clues at all.

Li Chengxi asked them to leave quickly and find a place to spend the night, as it might rain again depending on the weather.

According to Tongue's explanation, the people sent by the Sirius Cult to the Central Plains will take this route when they return, and they will most likely bring the Sky-lifting Stone with them. In that case, wouldn't it be better to stay in the cave and wait for an ambush?

This is indeed true, but after weighing the pros and cons, Li Chengxi decided to let them go quickly.

The main reason is that there are too many uncertain factors.

Although the Sirius Cult is a dog, it is not stupid.

Let’s not talk about why we went to Central Plains to find the Sky-supporting Stone. Since the action was so big, it must be something very important.

Since it is so important, the work of escorting and temporarily storing the Sky-Reaching Stone cannot be relaxed. Just like when Yang Yiyi once helped to attack the Sirius Cult's stronghold, there must be some very powerful guys to take the final step.

It would be fine if there was a first-rate master like Shen Qingluo around, but Yang Yiyi and the others are only okay at the moment, and a clash with a real master would still be tantamount to seeking death.

In addition, the Tianlang Sect has a large number of people and the consequence of hiding in the cave and ambushing them would probably be like throwing a meat bun at a dog and never coming back.

Until you are absolutely sure, it is better not to take unnecessary risks. There are still many opportunities anyway.

Of course, these were all Li Chengxi's considerations. Yang Yizun would not think about these messy things as usual.

The three of them quickly left the scene and found a relatively hidden cave before it got completely dark.

The cave is located at the foot of the hillside. It may have been a very long cave, but it has collapsed inside. The depth from the cave entrance to the deepest part is only five or six meters. It may have been the lair of wild animals such as bears, but now there is nothing inside.

At least it is unlikely to find the way today, so the three of them will spend the night here.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The rain in southern Xinjiang comes suddenly, and it may even rain on one hill while it is sunny on another hill.

Soon after Yang Yiyi and her friends dismantled the bear's den and lit a bonfire, a loud thunderclap was heard in the sky and heavy rain poured down again.

From this perspective, we are lucky enough to have a place to hide from the rain.

Since Li Chengxi only had a folding bed and a hammock, the three of them had to take turns sleeping on it and also serve as night watch. At least it was more comfortable than just sitting on the ground and sleeping in their clothes.

After eating some instant food given by Li Chengxi, Qin Yan said she would be on duty for the first shift, and asked Wu Shaoyi and Yang Yiyi to go to sleep first. Looking at the raindrops falling outside the cave, Qin Yan was thinking about something, and from time to time she picked up a piece of firewood and threw it into the campfire, and she seemed absent-minded.

They chased him all the way from Nanshan City to Southern Xinjiang for more than a month, but they could only get some clues. Zhou Yuxuan, who had followed the people from Southern Xinjiang, was still nowhere to be found alive or dead.

Qin Yan had too many questions in her mind. She was anxious and a little discouraged, with mixed feelings.

Wu Shaoyi said that people in southern Xinjiang are good at witchcraft, and Zhou Yuxuan used a knife on Qin Yan, which might be because he was controlled by a poisonous insect.

Qin Yan believed Wu Shaoyi's words without saying a word. She really hoped that this was true and that her elder brother did not really want to go with the people from Southern Xinjiang.

But is this true?

Am I not deceiving myself?
What should we do if my elder brother really defected to Southern Xinjiang?
The later it gets at night, the more random thoughts tend to occur. The more Qin Yan thinks, the more irritated and depressed she becomes.

At this moment, the howling of wolves pierced the silence of the night, like flying stars in the deep sky, and broke into the cave.

Qin Yan was startled and broke the branch in her hand.

It was raining heavily in the middle of the night, and the wild animals would also look for places to hide from the rain. It would not be strange even if a pack of wolves really approached.

Qin Yan stood up immediately and quietly walked to the cave entrance to look out.

Dark clouds covered the night sky. There was no moon or starlight. It was pitch black outside. Even with the light from the campfire behind, it was difficult to see what was in the darkness.

At this time, another wolf howl was heard. Although the wolf could not be seen, judging from the sound, it seemed that it was not far away.

If the light from the campfire can scare away the wolves, that would be the best. If not, that would be a bit troublesome.

When fighting with a pack of wolves, don't even think about whether you can win or not. Who knows what kind of bacteria are on the wolves' mouths and claws. This can be more serious than being hit by a knife.

Although Qin Yan didn't know about bacteria, she knew that it was difficult for people who were bitten by wild beasts to survive.

Just as she was about to wake up Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi, before she turned around, Qin Yan immediately felt a slight vibration on the soles of her feet.

It was like some huge monster was slowly approaching, and the sound of footsteps could be heard along the ground.

what's the situation?
Could it be that an elephant is rushing over from southern Xinjiang?
Never heard of it?
At this time, Qin Yan saw several bright spots appearing in the darkness. She was stunned for a moment before she realized that they were probably the eyes of a wolf.

But the wolves did not approach the cave, they just passed by. It could even be said that they were a little careless. As they ran past, Qin Yan heard a whimpering sound similar to that of a dog that had been beaten.

Could there be even more ferocious beasts behind the wolves?
When this question popped up in my mind, the vibrations from the ground along the soles of my feet became clearer and stronger.

When the wolves ran past the cave not far away, Qin Yan heard the crisp sound of trees breaking, as if something chasing the wolves had directly cut through the trees blocking their way.

Qin Yan plucked up the courage to look outside, and only then did she see that in the dark woods, there were two luminous glasses that looked as big as oversized lanterns. They were probably four or five meters high, or even higher. As for what they were, it was completely impossible to see clearly.

A flash of lightning pierced the sky at this moment, and Qin Yan's eyes widened in the moment when the darkness was illuminated.

She saw that what was chasing the wolves was actually a huge green crab. It walked sideways, seemingly drifting through the woods, and at that moment its eyes met Qin Yan's.

But the big crab didn't seem to be interested in Qin Yan. The two eye stalks on its shell just glanced at her briefly, then continued to chase the wolves, and soon disappeared into the darkness that had descended again.

Qin Yan almost fell to the ground.

What the hell is Southern Xinjiang?
