However, Louis didn't care; he wanted to leave in a dignified manner.

Sang Ning and Emmanuel couldn't persuade him otherwise, so they had to agree. As for how to make sure he left with dignity on that day, they'd deal with that later.

Thinking about these things now is too far ahead, after all, Ji Mengjiao and the others haven't been eliminated yet, and McIntyre and the others are still in their old nest.

After eliminating Ji Mengjiao and the others, it will take several days to travel back, covering several hundred kilometers.

So, they still have time.

Louis was satisfied.

Meanwhile, Sang Ning and his companions followed the trail left by the horned dragon family.

"I can't go on anymore, I can't run anymore."

An hour later, Louis stopped and leaned against a tree trunk, panting heavily. Good heavens, the horned dragon family had amazing stamina and were incredibly fast; they were gone in a flash like the wind.

They followed the trail relentlessly, only managing to keep their direction correct, but they hadn't even caught a glimpse of the horned dragon family.

That's also a sin.

"Then let's take a break."

Sang Ning was also panting heavily, but unlike Louis, she didn't stop immediately. Instead, she gradually slowed down and started walking slowly.

Emmanuel took out some water to drink; he was very thirsty, and his eyes were fixed on the traces left by the horned dragon family.

After drinking the water and catching his breath, he said slowly, "I'm a little worried now."

What are you worried about?

Louis asked, and Sanning knew what he was worried about, but Emmanuel didn't give her a chance to speak, saying, "What if we chased after them all and ended up with nothing?"

Louis: "??? You didn't throw cold water on me, did you?!"

Emmanuel glanced at him upon hearing this, and said with a deep expression, "Anything is possible."

Sang Ning's lips twitched slightly. Too lazy to pay attention to them, she directly tapped her bracelet and entered Ji Mengjiao's live stream.

The three are still on their way, and the surrounding scenery has changed from mountains and forests to plains.

We've come down the mountain.

However, that's not the point. The point is that Sang Ning saw pearl birds flying and circling above their heads through Ji Mengjiao's live stream camera.

"We won't waste our time chasing after them; the Pearl Bird has already found Ji Mengjiao and the others."

"where?"

"Let us see it."

Upon hearing Sang Ning's words, Emmanuel and Louis immediately perked up and approached. When they saw the pearl bird circling above Ji Mengjiao and the others, they were overjoyed, as if they had been reassured.

"They actually found it."

Louis chuckled, "Does this mean the horned dragon family is almost here too?"

Having lived, ate, and played together for so long, the bond between the horned dragon family and the pearl bird is truly exceptional.

This can be seen from the fact that the horned dragon family chased after the pearl bird.

"Holy crap, they're about to start fighting."

Yes, a fight broke out.

Sang Ning couldn't figure out what Ji Mengjiao and the others had done to the pearl birds that made them so hostile that the birds didn't even want to wait a minute longer before swooping down to attack them.

"Ahhh..."

Being pecked by birds is definitely a bad experience, and if these birds are even more uncivilized and use their droppings as bombs, it's even more unbearable.

Ji Mengjiao and her group are currently in such a situation, with flocks of pearl birds swooping down to attack them, dropping a clump of bird droppings with each takeoff.

In a short while, the three of them were covered in bombs.

Ji Mengjiao, who screamed, was in an even worse situation, as a bird droppings bomb fell into her mouth.

Louis swallowed hard, his face filled with horror. "This scene is terrifying. Should I thank the pearl birds for nesting on our heads every day, yet being so hygienic as not to poop on us?"

Upon hearing this, Sang Ning and Emmanuel immediately turned pale, looking as if they had eaten shit. The audience wasn't much better off; just thinking about the scene was disgusting.

However, that's not the main point. The main point is that along with the Pearl Bird's attack, the Diablos family also appeared.

What followed turned into a bloody tragedy.

A real tragedy.

The physical and psychological damage they suffered was no less than that suffered by Xie Qian and the others. While Xie Qian and the others were bleeding and injured, Ji Mengjiao and the others suffered from bird droppings and bird pecking, resulting in both physical and emotional damage.

Then the family of horned dinosaurs joined in the fun.

"call out--"

With a powerful kick of her front leg, Ji Mengjiao screamed and fell to the ground.

Jin Wei and his group weren't much better off. When they tried to attack, the winged creatures were too mobile, and they couldn't catch them at all without weapons.

They were no match for the land-dwelling horned dinosaurs.

With their large size, high speed, and strong limbs, the three could only scream and run away with their heads in their hands, looking extremely pathetic.

Their viewers were extremely anxious, and a flood of comments appeared on the screen, all offering advice and guidance on how to deal with the situation.

Sang Ning and his audience watched with great interest, applauding and cheering for the Pearl Bird and the Horned Dragon family.

Sang Ning and the others fell silent.

After a moment, Emmanuel asked, somewhat bewildered, "In this situation, do we still need to follow the trail left by the horned dragon family?"

It's highly likely that it won't be needed.

Sang Ning hesitated and said, "By the time we catch up, Ji Mengjiao and the others may have already chosen to withdraw from the competition because they couldn't bear the torment any longer."

This is the truth, and it's a very likely statement.

Upon hearing this, Louis asked, "So what do we do now? Continue grilling fish?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the few half-cooked grilled fish in Sang Ning's basket and said, "It would be a waste not to eat them."

What time is it, and you're still thinking about food?

"I'm convinced. Shouldn't we be thinking about going back to our base at a time like this?"

Sang Ning reminded them, "Ji Mengjiao and the others will most likely be like Xie Qian and the others, no longer needing our attention, but McIntyre and the others are still living a carefree life in our old nest."

"Let's go back and kill them."

Upon hearing this, Louis was reminded of the image of MacIntyre sleeping in his bed, and he immediately turned into an angry bull and ran back home.

"return."

"What?" Emmanuel shouted. Louis stopped impatiently and turned around, asking, "What?"

"You're going the wrong way."

The direction back to the lair is not the same as returning the way we came; if we did return the way we came, we wouldn't know where we would end up.

Louis, "..."

Louis couldn't believe it. "Did we go the wrong way?"

"Yes."

Emmanuel nodded solemnly, then pointed southeast, "Our stronghold is in the southeast, and you ran in the west."

It would be a miracle if two directions that are completely opposite were correct.

Louis's face immediately turned red, and he scurried back to the two of them, pretending nothing had happened, and asked, "Shall we set off now?"

Emmanuel looked at Sanning, who in turn looked at Louis. "I'm fine. Can you still hold on?"

"I can."

Since we can, let's go.

"Let's go back now."

So the three of them headed towards their lair. As for the disputes between the horned dragon family, the pearl bird, and Ji Mengjiao, they would handle them themselves and didn't need to worry about them.
