Qi Meili supported her and was quite surprised to see her trembling: people with superpowers rarely get stomach aches because of their strong regenerative abilities, let alone have diarrhea to this extent.
She frowned and asked with concern, "Niannian, what did you eat? You have such bad diarrhea. Let me carry you on my back!" With that, she pulled Chu Nian onto her back.
Carrying Chu Nian on her back, she moved with incredible speed, and the three women quickly returned to the edge of the abyss. Hearing that Chu Nian was nearly exhausted from diarrhea, Peng Jian chuckled sarcastically, "Nian Nian, you're really something! Knowing you were going on a mission, you should have eaten less junk food!"
Old Li kindly tossed Chu Nian two capsules, saying, "These are medicine for diarrhea. You should carry this with you on every mission."
"Thank you, Brother Li..." Chu Nian had barely uttered these words when everyone suddenly felt the ground tremble, and a deafening bird's cry echoed from the depths of the abyss...
Everyone's expression changed. Thanks to the enhanced hearing of the superhumans, they could all hear the rustling sounds coming from the cliff face. The birdsong and vibrations had clearly startled the snakes in the hanging coffins, and they had all come out to move.
"Danger! Run!" Jingyue shouted.
Qi Meili had just put Chu Nian down when she picked her up again and sped off along the road where the others had been traveling.
However, the ground tremors quickly intensified, and there were also roars of wild animals.
"Oh no, it's a beast tide! Some powerful creature has appeared and caused panic among all the beasts." As soon as Chu Nian said this, a thousand "MMPs" flew through his mind.
It's obvious who this "impressive guy" is.
What annoyed Chu Nian the most was that Lin Jingting's crystal coffin was clearly at the end of the lava river, at the bottom of a lake protected by a magic array, which was still tens of thousands of miles away from here.
Well, that's perfect. He just happened to come from Shenyuan, most likely following her scent. And he caught that wretched bird hiding behind Shenyuan's barrier as soon as he arrived.
His body unleashed an undisguised aura of corpse energy, no wonder it alarmed the monsters in Huai Mountain.
"A beast tide? It's just a monster tide, how unlucky!" Qi Meili cursed.
Chu Nian said, "Go down into the abyss."
Qi Meili: "Will this work? I can hear snakes moving down there."
Chu Nian: "Listen to me, you won't go wrong."
Qi Meili actually believed her, and in a flash, she jumped into the abyss.
"Niannian! Meili!" Jingyue exclaimed in surprise.
Wang Chao cursed, "Are these two girls crazy? Instead of finding a way to escape Huai Mountain as soon as possible, they actually jumped into the abyss!"
Then, Chu Nian's voice came from the depths of the abyss: "The beast tide is coming, there's no way to escape."
Before the words were even finished, everyone felt the sound of countless beasts' hooves rapidly approaching, along with the terrifying cries of monsters.
"Oh my god, Captain Jing, what do we do?" Feng Heng asked in surprise.
Jingyue was at a loss for a moment, but then she remembered that the idea of escaping into the abyss was Chu Nian's, and if something went wrong, Chu Nian would share some of the blame. So she simply said, "Let's go into the abyss and hide for a while." With that, she turned around and went back into the abyss.
The snakes were indeed moving, but they were all inside the hanging coffins; none of them escaped. They writhed inside the coffins, seemingly terrified.
Qi Meili carried Chu Nian on her back and hid in the cave on the wall that Jing Yue and the others had just explored. Because she was carrying someone, she was much slower than Jing Yue and the others, so they quickly caught up with her.
Although they were inside the cave, and the snakes seemed to have truly not escaped the hanging coffins, they could clearly hear the rustling sound of the snakes wriggling. Furthermore, the roars and hooves of the beasts were even more deafening than before.
Jingyue said, "I think it might be safer for us to go a little further in. We've already explored this cave; there are some murals on the walls, but the cave winds downwards and ends in a dead end with nothing there. However, this cave is very deep, so we should be able to use it as a temporary hiding place."
Actually, she was mainly saying these words to Chu Nian and Qi Meili, the two people who hadn't joined the exploration.
Qi Meili then carried Chu Nian on her back and watched as the others walked deeper into the cave. As a result, Chu Nian discovered that the murals Jing Yue had mentioned were not murals at all, but rather fossils formed from shed snake skin over time.
However, if it weren't for the ability to probe the inside of the stone wall with one's spiritual power, probably no one would have guessed that what was on the wall wasn't a mural.
Jingyue just said that the end of this cave is blocked, but Chu Nian feels like she can hear sounds coming from deep inside the cave. Footsteps, and the sound of birds flapping their wings.
Because the other party didn't deliberately conceal their footsteps, Chu Nian could still hear them even though they were quite far away. As for the sound of the bird's wings flapping, it only made one sound. She guessed that Xiao Jin had been severely reprimanded by Lin Jingting, otherwise how could it be so well-behaved? With its personality, it would definitely have been making a huge fuss.
The opponent was quite fast, but only Chu Nian could hear his footsteps. So, when this breathtakingly handsome zombie appeared before everyone carrying a golden, strange bird, it truly surprised and amazed them.
His gaze first fell on Chu Nian's face, and after a brief sweep of his mental energy over Chu Nian, he threw the broken bird in front of Qi Meili.
Chu Nian knew perfectly well that this guy had thrown it to her, probably already guessing that the bird belonged to her. But Chu Nian didn't want to say it out loud.
Qi Meili asked with some surprise, "Sir, what kind of bird is this...?"
Before she could finish speaking, the bird vanished with a "poof": Chu Nian had used magic to store it in her spatial artifact. Little Jin had already been knocked unconscious by Lin Jingting; it was fine if he stayed unconscious outside. But if he woke up, who knew what trouble he might cause!
Everyone was taken aback.
Jingyue was secretly amazed by the unparalleled handsomeness of the men in this world, and asked in a deep voice, "Sir, where did you come from? And what about that bird just now?"
Lin Jingting did not answer, his gaze sweeping over Chu Nian.
Qi Meili noticed him staring at Chu Nian and couldn't help but laugh, "The one on my back is Wu Nian, sir. Do you know our Nian Nian?"
Lin Jingting didn't answer, but kept staring at Chu Nian, his mental energy constantly probing back and forth on Chu Nian's body, it was unclear what he wanted to find out.
Chu Nian said impatiently, "What are you looking at? Are you ever going to stop?"
Lin Jingting finally withdrew his gaze and the spiritual energy that no one else had noticed, staring at the long, dark cave behind them, and asked, "What happened outside?"
Jingyue said, "It must be a monster tide, so we've temporarily taken refuge in the cave."
Lin Jingting frowned: "Monster... Tide? What monster? I didn't sense any monster."
