Chapter 489:
"Why is the rain getting heavier? Sigh, looks like it's going to be cold again tonight."
Sister Qing took a can of beef and walked to the campfire to eat and warm her hands. Looking at the heavy rain outside the cave, she said, "I don't know if it will stop tomorrow. If it doesn't stop, it will be troublesome if there is a landslide."
"Indeed, hopefully the rain will stop tonight."
The big boss also frowned as he looked at the heavy rain outside.
Continuous heavy rain could cause landslides, which would be very troublesome if such a situation occurred.
After dinner, Yue Jiuyue and Yue Jiuxing ran to the entrance of the cave and squatted down, saying they wanted to see if there was a signal to play on their phones.
"Ugh, this is so annoying. Why is the signal so weak here? It's only one bar, I can't even send a message."
Yue Jiuxing complained while holding her phone: "Sigh, I wonder what Jiuling and the others are doing now. Have they already planned how to beat us up when we get back?"
"Haha~ That's possible," Yue Jiuyue said after hearing her words. "I just don't know if taking these things back will save us from getting hit a few times."
As she spoke, she patted the backpack beside her, which contained things she had taken from the tomb, as well as the inner core of the mountain demon.
"Hehe~ Maybe so. Hey hey hey, looks like there's a signal! I received a message~"
Suddenly, Yue Jiuxing excitedly held up her phone and said, "I received another message! Ah, it's from Jiu Nian. It says we need to go back right away, or else we'll be in big trouble. Tsk tsk, this message is from several days ago, it's already outdated. We only just received it now..."
"It's a real pity that this information came too late; we were already prepared to be attacked."
Yue Jiuyue and Yue Jiuxing were playing at the entrance of the cave, while the others rested inside. After a few hours, the heavy rain gradually subsided, but it also got dark.
Around 7 or 8 p.m., Yue Jiuxing finally gave up playing on her phone because there was no signal. She had been playing for so long but hadn't really gotten any real use out of it.
"Forget it, let's go to sleep. I'm not playing anymore, it's boring."
After putting her phone in her backpack, Yue Jiuyue crawled into their tent. It was so cold at night that they couldn't sleep in the cave without a tent.
"Okay, by the way, we have to keep watch tonight, so don't forget not to sleep too soundly."
Before going to sleep, Yue Jiuxing gave Yue Jiuyue a final instruction: even though they were spending the night in a cave, someone still needed to keep watch.
Because there are fewer people now than before, everyone has to take turns keeping watch at night. Fortunately, they take turns every two hours, so it's not too tiring.
Yue Jiuyue hadn't forgotten that they had to keep watch tonight, so she wrapped herself in her sleeping bag and replied, "Okay, I know."
The wind was cold at night, and the rain kept pouring down all night, so Yue Jiuxing didn't sleep well. While she was drifting off to sleep, she suddenly heard someone calling them from outside the tent: "Miss Yue, Miss Yue, it's your turn to keep watch!"
"Yes, I'm here, I'm up~"
Upon hearing that the person had come to summon them for night watch, Yue Jiuxing immediately woke up. She got up and called to Yue Jiuyue, "Jiuyue, get up, it's our turn to keep watch."
"Mmm~ Okay~"
September also didn't sleep well, probably because she wasn't used to it. When she heard that she had to keep watch, she didn't dawdle and got up quickly.
"Miss Yue, are you alright? If you're too tired, we can stay a little longer."
When the previous night watchmen saw that both Yue Jiuyue and Yue Jiuxing looked out of sorts, they became a little worried.
"It's okay, you guys go to sleep, we can manage."
Yue Jiuyue knew she hadn't slept well, so she put on her coat and came out to urge them to rest: "Jiuxing, come on, let's chat for a bit~"
Yue Jiuxing also looked dazed, but she didn't doze off after coming out. She added some firewood to the campfire in front of her and said, "Okay, but I don't know what to talk about~"
"How about we talk about whether we want to go out later?"
Yue Jiuyue suddenly looked outside the cave and said, "Actually, I'm still a little curious..."
"Curious my foot! What's there to be curious about? I don't want to go out."
Yue Jiuxing pouted and said, "I'm not going out. If you want to go, go out by yourself."
As she spoke, she glanced outside the cave, as if she had seen something.
"Um, you're really not going out?"
"I'm not going out."
While warming his hands by the fire, Yue Jiuxing said, "It's nothing good, why go out?" "Okay, but I think if we don't go out, it might come in."
Suddenly, Yue Jiuyue looked up at a dark figure slowly approaching the cave and asked, "What's that?"
Just as she was wondering what was going on, something suddenly rushed in from outside the cave!
"Oh my god! What are you?!"
Upon seeing an unidentified object rushing in, Yue Jiuyue immediately grabbed a lit match and threw it away, then dodged to the side.
After seeing the unidentified object being hit by a match, and then continuing to rush towards her without being frightened, Yue Jiuyue had no choice but to act again, kicking the thing aside with a flying kick.
"What the hell is this thing?"
When Yue Jiuxing saw his companion being attacked, he didn't rush to help. Instead, he stood aside, examining the object and asking, "What kind of monster is that? A savage?"
