"Termite, where did you put my drinking water?" Zhu Mu returned from patrolling on the other side, opened his backpack and searched for a long time but couldn't find the drinking water.

"Didn't you put it in the car?" Termite glanced back at Bamboo and Wood and said indifferently.

Zhu Mu then remembered and rushed towards the car, carefully opening the door to find water.

Ji Yueyao didn't turn around. She stood up, stretched, and stared blankly at the sky.

"Ji Yueyao, get in the car quickly!" A voice suddenly rang out urgently from the sky, "Something is approaching you underground!"

Ji Yueyao was stunned. Before she could ask Tiankong why, she quickly stood up and ran towards Tiankong, shouting to the termites standing in front of the car, "Termites, get back in the car!"

Upon hearing Ji Yueyao's order, the baiyi quickly checked the car parts without hesitation and got into the car after confirming that everything was in order. At the same time, Ji Yueyao had already gotten into the car with Tiankong in his arms.

"Drive forward," Ji Yueyao said again, listening to Tiankong's words.

"What happened?" Termite asked as he drove.

Bamboo and Wood were also making a fuss behind them, "You scared me! Termite kicked me right in here!"

Kachi rubbed her eyes, yawned, and didn't say anything.

"The sky says something is approaching from underground. The sky can sense everything in the darkness, so it can clearly see what's happening underground." At this point, Ji Yueyao looked down at the sky and asked, "What exactly is underground?"

The sound from the sky was somewhat faint; it seemed to be intently investigating the movements of the underground scorpion-type strange birds. "Strange creatures... a group of scorpion-type strange birds."

Scorpions are exotic birds, powerful and unusual species. They are mostly gregarious and live in underground sandy areas. They are extremely fast, carry potent venom, and are afraid of light.

"Damn it." Ji Yueyao couldn't help but swear. Encountering a group of scorpion-type exotic birds in the wilderness was really unlucky. "Zhu Mu, give each of us a flashlight from our backpacks. We've encountered scorpion-type exotic birds."

"Huh?!" Bamboo and Termites were all shocked by the news. Bamboo quickly came to his senses and took out four flashlights from his backpack, handing them to Ji Yueyao and the others. "Why would we encounter a group of scorpion-type exotic birds in this place?!"

Scorpion-type exotic birds are mostly found in the very interior of the wasteland, and are not even commonly seen in the border areas of the wasteland. This place is only on the outer edge of the wasteland, so how could we possibly encounter a group of scorpion-type exotic birds?!

“This isn’t the first time something like this has happened.” Ji Yueyao lowered her eyes and pondered. “Perhaps the alien species in the wasteland are really starting to migrate outwards in large numbers now… But let’s not think about that for now. In the sky, are the scorpion-type alien birds still chasing after us?”

"Chasing... wait... damn it, we're surrounded!" The voice in the sky carried anxiety for the first time. Ji Yueyao was stunned and before she could speak, she felt the ground shake.

Some bumps gradually appeared around them, and the next second their car began to fall. Kaqi screamed, and Ji Yueyao quickly became alert.

Who knew that the next second a scorpion-like exotic bird would pounce straight at them, smashing through the window and flying in from Ji Yueyao's side.

Ji Yueyao hugged Tiankong tightly and leaned back, then kicked at the scorpion-type alien bird. However, at the moment the scorpion-type alien bird attacked, chaotic fluctuations surged in Ji Yueyao's mind. Seeing this, Tiankong quickly adjusted the sound waves in Ji Yueyao's mind, but unexpectedly, the next second their car flipped over. Because the car door had been knocked loose, Kaqi didn't even have time to make a sound before falling out of the car.

The incident happened so suddenly that no one had time to react. Ji Yueyao, who was clinging to her seat, quickly let go to grab Kaqi, but the seat cover was ripped off, and she fell straight into the darkness.

Damn, I should have put the flashlight in my pocket first. That was Ji Yueyao's last thought before she fell.

"team leader!"

...

Ji Yueyao was awakened by the pain. She tried to open her eyes, but found that it was pitch black all around her and that it was the same whether she opened them or not.

"The sky?" Ji Yueyao asked, a tearing pain shooting through her legs as she tried to sit up.

"A large chunk of flesh was scraped off your leg when you fell, and you also got a hole in your head from a falling rock. You're really lucky to have survived." The voice from the sky suddenly rang out, and although it was very sarcastic, it also seemed to contain a sigh.

Ji Yueyao raised her hand to wipe her head, and sure enough, it was wet. She glanced around and then noticed that the sky had opened its azure eyes a meter away from her.

"Can the light in your eyes be bright?" Ji Yueyao smiled wryly. "I think I need to bandage my wound first."

"Are you treating me like a third wheel?" Sky rolled its eyes, but also truthfully made the light in its eyes even brighter.

"I really am like a third wheel," Ji Yueyao thought to herself. She sat up and was about to take out her first-aid kit from her backpack when she touched her back and remembered that she had left her bag in the car when she got the bread.

Oh my god... Ji Yueyao rubbed her forehead, looking down at the wound on her leg that was bleeding profusely. She took off her coat and wrapped it around the wound. Although she would be a little cold if she took off her coat, she would just have to make do for now.

As her eyes were gradually covered by the blood left on her head, Ji Yueyao closed them briefly, feeling a little dizzy. Then, she tore off a piece of the coat wrapped around her legs and hastily wrapped it around her head as well.

Perhaps because of her previous experience of falling into an anthill, she wasn't too alarmed when she was buried underground again.

“We’re stuck here,” Sky said calmly. “There’s a huge rock above us, and some sand and soil on the sides are blocking it, but I estimate it won’t hold for long. The rock above us will probably fall down in about half an hour. And that group of scorpion-type alien birds are still hovering around us. As soon as they get close, the surrounding sand will loosen and the rock will fall down in the next second.”

"Damn it..." Ji Yueyao looked up, the dust floating around her making it hard to breathe. "Is there any special place around us where we can leave?"

"There is a cave below us, which should be a temporary dwelling place for the scorpion-type exotic birds. We are currently about three meters away from that cave."

“Three meters… okay, I’ll think of something. Where are Kachi and the others?” Ji Yueyao gritted her teeth, the wounds on her legs and head were getting more and more painful.

"Kachi...she's below us, but some scorpion-type birds are already approaching her. Termites and bamboo are above us, very close to the ground, so they should be able to escape easily. However, we can't get the car out; it's buried underground. We have to wait for them to climb up before we can figure out a way down, otherwise, if the soil here loosens, they probably won't be able to get up." Sky breathed a sigh of relief as it said this. Although their situation was dangerous, the thought of finally not having to experience that swaying, dizzying feeling anymore was still quite pleasant. (To be continued.)
