Chapter 121: Fighting Beasts

…

Only after making sure that Aping was asleep did Mu Jiao quietly get up, tidied her cold-weather clothes, and put on the large black cloak. Mu Jiao gently opened the small door of the tent and walked out of it.

Outside, the wind was still howling and snow was falling. Afraid that the cold wind would blow into the tent and freeze Aping and Mengmeng, Mu Jiao quickly closed the small door of the tent behind her as soon as she left.

The sky was grey and still dark, but the ground, covered in thick snow, shone with a cold white light. It was quiet and chilly.

It was too dark last night and the vision was not clear. I was also too tired and exhausted. I didn’t have the energy to check whether the surroundings were safe. I just fell asleep.

Now that she came out to check the situation, she found that Aping had carried her to the middle of this "Antuan area" last night, and their tent was also set up in the middle area of ​​this black surface, the safest and most secure place.

Mu Jiao walked around the edge of this "safe zone" and found that not only was there not a trace of snow on the black surface, but even the black surface was dry and warm. Tentatively placing her hand on the ground, she found that the ground was warm.

As soon as the snowflakes fell on the ground, they turned into water and evaporated in an instant. Not only that, Mu Jiao discovered that the wind and snow around her seemed to have become much smaller in the "safe area". Although the wind was still quite strong, compared to the wind outside the "safe area" that could blow people away, at least she could stand steadily in the cold wind alone at this moment.

It is a magical place. The warm land in the world of ice and snow brings them vitality. Nature is so wonderful!

Mu Jiao sighed in her heart...

“Ouch…”

“Roar, roar, roar…”

Just as Mu Jiao took a look around and found nothing unusual and was about to enter the tent, she heard the sound of fighting and roaring in the distance.

At first, Mu Jiao tried to convince herself that she had misheard it, that it was probably the howling of the wind. But then, as the roars of the two beasts grew increasingly shrill, even drowning out the sound of the wind, Mu Jiao could no longer convince herself that it was just the wind...

This should be the howling of strange beasts fighting, and it seems that the sound seems to be getting clearer and clearer...

This meant that the two strange beasts were getting closer and closer to them. Mu Jiao was standing at the edge of the tent, looking stiffly in the direction of the sound...

A brown bear beast nearly three meters long and a huge silver-white wolf beast were fighting fiercely about 2,000 meters away from them. Because of their movement during the fight, the two were approaching them.

If nothing unexpected happens, it won't be long before the two of them approach. The interstellar humans' eyesight has evolved to perfection, allowing Mu Jiao to clearly see the bloody scratches on the two beasts. You slap me, I claw you, these two are obviously already bloodthirsty.

Mu Jiao was trembling inwardly as she watched this, but fortunately the mysterious man who saved them had told them that the "safe zone" could guarantee their safety, and the strange beasts of Han'e Star would not set foot in the "safe zone".

Therefore, they are safe at the moment and should not have to worry about becoming cannon fodder in the fight between the two beasts. They can just be spectators and enjoy the show without worrying about it.

Obviously, things weren't that simple. The reason these beasts were so special was because they possessed unique abilities. For example, now, the wolf seemed to realize the bear was stronger, so it switched from a close-range attack to a long-range one. Its fur transformed into sharp ice blades, which it launched at the bear. While the bear, seemingly no more agile than the wolf, had a back like a fortress, it turned around and blocked the ice blades, shattering them.

The wolf's behavior seemed to anger the bear even more. Before the wolf could launch a second wave of ice blades, the bear charged forward again...

Mu Jiao retracted her gaze and quickly rushed into the tent. All they had to do now was make no sound. Quietly, they must not attract the attention of the two strange beasts outside. Fortunately, Ah Ping had been clever and had pitched the tent in the very center of the "safe zone," thus maximizing their safety. After all, even if the strange beasts wouldn't come in, their "special abilities"... Mu Jiao thought about it. Just one of the wolf's ice blades could kill her...

Therefore, the "safe zone" is not absolutely safe for them. If it attracts the attention of strange beasts, they will not be able to withstand any long-range attack.

Realizing this, Mu Jiao quickly closed the tent tightly.

"Master, what happened outside?" A Ping heard faintly the roar of a strange beast in his sleep. He didn't take it seriously at first, but the roar became more and more shrill and clear, so his consciousness came back. Then, when he opened his eyes, he saw his master walking cautiously into the tent. Subconsciously, A Ping asked Mu Jiao.

"Hush! Ah Ping, keep your voice down! There are two strange beasts fighting near us."

Mu Jiao quickly gestured to A Ping to speak in a low voice, and then nervously whispered to A Ping what was happening outside.

"I wonder what the beast's eyesight and hearing are like? Does it like to eat people? Ah Ping, although we are in the "safe zone" and the beast won't enter, I saw that the beast's "special ability" is to attack from a distance and release ice blades. For the two of us who don't have any natural abilities, we definitely won't be able to dodge any of its attacks. So in order to avoid attracting the beast's attention, we have to keep quiet from now on..."

"Okay, master." After listening to Mu Jiao's soft explanation beside him, Aping's heart tightened slightly. He didn't expect that the crisis would come quietly after he had only slept for a while.

Although Mu Jiao and A Ping silently prayed for the two beasts to change their fighting path, the shrill roars outside were getting closer and closer. Contrary to their wishes, their prayers had no effect. Mu Jiao half-sat on the air mattress, gently stroking Meng Meng, who was still sleeping in her arms. Next to A Ping, she listened anxiously to the continuous roars outside...

Fortunately, the tent was dark in color, so it wouldn't attract attention. Mu Jiao and A Ping huddled in the tent, not daring to make a single sound. They each drank a tube of nutrient solution, then continued to wait vigilantly...

Until the sky darkened again, they heard two muffled "boom" sounds, and then the shrill wailing finally stopped completely with these two muffled sounds...

Finally, is the fight over?

After a long time, when the shrill roars of the strange beasts no longer rang in their ears, Mu Jiao and A Ping stretched their stiff bodies.

Because it was getting late and the situation outside was unclear, Mu Jiao and the others could only go out to check the situation tomorrow.

Not daring to turn on the lights or speak loudly, fearing they would attract the attention of the strange beasts, the two of them rested early in the dark...
