Pangpang was shaking his head at high speed to shake off the water droplets on his feathers.

Inevitably splashed on Tu Ran.

Tu Ran ignored it. She was concerned about whether the cave was safe.

"What's in there?"

Pang Pang shook his head, "I don't know. This is Pang Pang's first time coming here. I just passed by before. I remember there is a cave here."

Tu Ran shone the flashlight deep into the cave.

The dragon-scale-like walls surrounded it on all sides, were uneven, and wound deep into the space. Even the light from a flashlight could not penetrate the darkness and shine in.

It's like a giant dragon covered with scales is lurking here.

They are its meal.

Tu Ran's hand holding the flashlight inevitably trembled.

"Have you ever seen a cave like this?"

"No." Pangpang shook his head. To be honest, he was also a little scared. This place looked like a giant snake's cave and he was afraid of snakes.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, forming a dense rain curtain directly at the entrance of the cave.

They now have no other place to shelter from the rain.

Tu Ran placed the flashlight on the ground, lighting up their small area. "Let's rest here for now. We'll leave when the rain stops a little."

She found a place near the cave entrance and sat down against the wall. Pangpang immediately squeezed next to her, curled up into a small ball and sat down.

It was scared, so it stayed close to Tu Ran.

The combat uniform issued by the federal government was waterproof and had a mask on the head, so Tu Ran did not get wet.

Pangpang was different. He became a drowned rat. The temperature dropped sharply on a rainy day and he was shaking all over.

It was shaking so violently that Tu Ran held its body and rubbed it quickly to generate heat to warm it up.

The cave was filled with the sound of rain hitting the stone walls and bursts of thunder.

The rain was really heavy.

"It rained so heavily on the day when the sun rose from the west for the first time this year," Pangpang recalled.

"How long has it been raining?"

"Two whole days and two nights."

The days in Threshold are much longer than those in the human world.

These two days and two nights may be three or four days in the human world.

After so long, Tu Ran always felt a little uneasy.

This unknown fear made Tu Ran even more panicked, and her thoughts always subconsciously leaned towards the worst side.

Tu Ran stood up, and she suddenly remembered that she had the ability of "memory reading".

Tu Ran's palm touched the rugged, scaly-like stone wall.

"Are you alive?" Tu Ran whispered, closing her eyes and carefully feeling the response of the stone wall.

It was a bit silly, but it allowed her to sort some things out.

She got no reply, the walls were indifferent.

Tu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, a voice came from deep in the cave where no light could penetrate.

"It's been dead for a long time. Of course you can't read its memory."

The moment the sound was heard, Tu Ran reflexively raised his machine gun and aimed it at the source of the sound.

At the same time, he used his foot to turn the flashlight facing the wall and aimed it at the deep hole where the sound came from, but he didn't see anything. The other party hadn't come out yet.

Pang Pang was also startled by the voice. His fur stood up instantly and he hid behind Tu Ran like a ball of fluff.

"Haha..." The thing inside suddenly laughed, very low, "This little chicken is so cute."

The sound is androgynous, but it is human language.

Tu Ran stared at the deep hole. A pair of shoes with raised toes first appeared in Tu Ran's field of vision.

Then an old man in a white robe appeared, looking like an immortal.

After exposing her whole body, the old man didn't come near her again.

"You should have heard that I, old man, don't like all of you guns, so it's useless for you to point your gun at me. You won't be able to shoot a bullet."

Tu Ran refused to believe it and pulled the trigger.

It was as if the bullets in the gun were used up, and every shot was a blank.

How is that possible?

Tu Ran was surprised. He pointed the gun at the ground and fired a few bullets. He then aimed it at the old man, but the gun was empty again.

Tu Ran thought of something Xie Xu told her.

There are not only visible alien species within the threshold, but also advanced unnatural creatures.

In the face of them, guns and other weapons will fail.

But didn't Xie Xu say that the chance of encountering this kind of creature was very small? And she encountered it now?!

However, there was another thing that instantly interrupted Tu Ran's other messy thoughts.

"How do you know I heard about this?"

"Hahaha," its laughter was hoarse. From its appearance, it was a man, and from its voice, it was half male and half female. "Just because you can't read my memory through the dragon on the wall doesn't mean I can't read your memory through it."

It's so weird.

Tu Ran tried hard to calm herself down.

"We are just here to avoid the rain, we don't mean any harm, if you don't want us to stay here, we can leave now."

As he spoke, Tu Ran stretched his fat wings and was about to enter the rain.

The cave door suddenly fell down in front of her, blocking her way.

It is a huge stone dragon head.

Block the cave entrance tightly.

Tu Ran turned around and stared at the old man.

"What do you want?"

It laughed, and its laugh was a little exaggerated. Tu Ran didn't know how to describe this expression. Anyway, it was not an expression that a normal human could make. It was more like... like a thousand-year-old turtle was laughing!

Although Tu Ran had never seen what a thousand-year-old turtle looked like when it smiled, she always felt that it was not much different from the one in front of her.

"I have been a mountain god on this mountain for thousands of years, and I have slept for thousands of years. But you woke me up three times in one day, and I couldn't even sleep well. Do you think I shouldn't talk to you?"

Tu Ran: She did drop three bombs on this hill today.

But she didn't expect that there would be such creatures as mountain gods in this world.

"I'm sorry." Tu Ran admitted his mistake with a good attitude.

"Chichichi"

Pangpang also lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

"This little chick is so cute." The Millennium Turtle focused all his attention on Fatty, his eyes full of admiration, "After thousands of years of not opening his eyes, he has evolved into such a cute little thing."

Tu Ran: She is so sinful. I have been sleeping for thousands of years, how could she wake me up?

She pushed Pangpang. Since the old bastard obviously liked Pangpang, she asked Pangpang to say more nice things and act cute so that he would let them go.

Pangpang understood her eye signal.

"Chichichichichichichi"

He shook his head and made the old turtle scream continuously, with pink love bubbles all over his body.

"This little fellow is so cute. Which hill is he from? I'll go and bring you over. Let you settle down on my hill!" The old turtle smiled like a turtle again.

Although it was still weird, Tu Ran was not very scared anymore.

"Just think about falling asleep with these little cuties running around on me. I can wake up laughing even in my dreams."
