"Don't talk nonsense, you jinx. Eat your food properly. We don't have time to talk about anything else. If you want to get some sleep, we'll continue our journey early tomorrow morning!"
Lu Yuan sat to the side, smiling as he watched everyone chat. He glanced down at the time and realized it was getting late, so he urged everyone to hurry back and rest.
Lu Yuan tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep. Seeing his reaction, Xiao Shan gently nudged his waist.
"What's going on? Why aren't you asleep?"
Suddenly realizing that Xiaoshan wasn't asleep either, I turned to face her.
"Don't you find it a little strange, all along the way?"
Xiao Shan suddenly paused, "What do you mean? What's strange about it?"
"It seems they haven't encountered many mutated beasts along the way; they've only encountered third-tier mutated beasts, and there haven't been any fourth-tier mutated beasts at all! We've already reached the beginning of the canyon, and if we go any further, we'll reach Dragon Canyon. If they don't appear soon, something seems wrong!"
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Xiao Shan finally realized what was going on.
She pondered for a moment before she came to a conclusion.
"What you said seems to make sense, but why didn't you say so sooner? We could have all worked together to figure it out!"
Lu Yuan gently shook his head.
"I only just thought of this myself. Oh well, it should be fine. We haven't encountered any mutated beast attacks along the way, so let's get some rest!"
Hearing Lu Yuan say that, Xiao Shan pinched his waist in dissatisfaction.
"You stopped halfway through your sentence! What are you doing?!"
Lu Yuan winced in pain as he looked at the other person.
"No, I just suddenly had this idea and couldn't sleep, so I told you. Don't think about it, just go to sleep!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan stopped talking. The two of them hugged the blankets and stared intently at the top of the tent, but still couldn't fall asleep.
Several hours later, Lu Yuan looked at the sky and felt a little depressed. He shook his stiff neck and realized that Xiao Shan was also awake, just like him.
"My God, you didn't sleep at all last night, did you?"
Xiao Shan kicked him: "You bastard, who told you to tell me I couldn't sleep last night? I thought you were asleep and I didn't want to disturb you, but who knew you weren't asleep either!"
The couple felt depressed for a while, then Lu Yuan glanced at the time.
"There are still two hours until eight o'clock, why don't we get some sleep?"
Xiao Shan then yawned.
"Okay, go take a nap!"
The two fell asleep in each other's arms, when suddenly they heard a loud noise outside.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow appeared in the sky and hurtled towards them.
Zhou Tong was the first to react; he sat up immediately when he heard the alarm.
He quickly ran out of the tent and looked up.
A dark shadow appeared in the sky, so he quickly shouted loudly towards the camp.
"A mutated raptor has come in! Everyone wake up!"
His shout immediately woke the entire camp from its slumber.
Everyone got up, and Zhou Tong ran to the control panel and pressed the button for the autonomous defense system.
When the autonomous defense system button was pressed, the energy-concentrating cannons deployed around the perimeter began to charge.
However, since the energy cannon needs time to charge, it cannot immediately intercept the huge black shadow in the sky.
"Damn it! What do we do?!"
Zhou Tong panicked a little. As the dark shadow grew larger and larger, his heart tightened.
Just then, the dark shadow in the sky gradually became clearer.
Zhou Tong saw its enormous wings, sharp claws, and golden eyes, which seemed so terrifying.
Splash!
A group of people rushed out of the camp. At that moment, they saw the huge mutated raptor in the sky rushing towards the energy cannons in the camp.
Rumble!
Several energy cannons were instantly knocked askew and destroyed.
Seeing the chaotic state of the camp, Zhou Tong shouted loudly,
However, since everyone had just woken up from their sleep, they still didn't react that quickly.
At that moment, the giant eagle pounced again, then twisted its wings, circled around, and pounced from the other side.
Another claw strike, and more important equipment in the camp was destroyed.
Only then did Lu Yuan pull Xiao Shan away from the tent.
Suddenly, the enormous bird of prey in the sky swooped down in their direction.
"Damn it, watch out!"
Lu Yuan pushed Xiao Shan to a safe spot and then casually pulled out a cannon from his dimensional space.
Then he pulled the trigger sharply.
With a loud bang, a beam of fiery red light flashed by.
Sparks burst from the body of the enormous raptor that was about to pounce.
After letting out a scream, the raptor quickly adjusted its position and disappeared into the horizon.
Lu Yuan held the high-energy cannon and aimed it at the sky for a while until he saw the huge raptor disappear into the sky before he breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned to look at Xiaoshan and found that she was just pale from fright but otherwise fine. Then he looked around at the other people.
"Please report on everyone's condition and injuries, and get them treated as soon as possible!"
