Chapter 127: Seeking the Dragon King (Part 3)
Chu Qi prepared a lot of food for everyone, all of which were self-heating instant foods, so everyone could eat hot rice and vegetables in this mountain valley.
Ning Xuan picked up the meat from his bowl and gave it to Chu Ruanruan, then tore off two more pieces of meat for her and put them in.
Ning Yu and Tian Yuyuan also take good care of their future wives, but Chi Longfei and Dahei, two single dogs, depend on each other.
"Dahei, come here, I'll give you a piece of meat!"
Chi Longfei picked up a piece of meat and put it in Dahei's bowl.
"Awoo~" Dahei rubbed Chi Longfei's leg to express his gratitude.
"Isn't Dahei a dog? Why is he howling like a wolf?" Chi Longfei asked in confusion.
"Dahei's mother is a Tibetan Mastiff, but his father is a wolf demon, so it should be called a wolfdog." Chu Ruanruan said.
"Tibetan Mastiff and Wolf Demon!" Chi Longfei looked at Dahei in surprise and swallowed his saliva.
"Will Dahei become a human?"
"Not for now! At Dahei's current age, he is just a child among the wolf monsters." Chu Runrun said.
"Where did you get such a powerful creature? And why is it so loyal to you?" Chi Longfei asked curiously.
"Dahei's parents died in a calamity, and when my grandfather picked him up, he was just born.
Grandpa said that Dahei has a short life and needs someone with a strong life to take care of him so that he can live a good life.
So, I, who was so lucky, had to feed it goat milk with a bottle every day, and it was hard to keep it alive!" Chu Ruanruan smiled as she touched Dahei's head.
"No wonder Dahei is so loyal to you!" Chi Longfei said with a smile.
Ning Xuan glanced at his watch and realized it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
After traveling for half a day, everyone was exhausted. They just put their sleeping bags on the ground and went to sleep with their clothes as pillows.
Ning Xuan and Chu Runrun were responsible for guarding the first half of the night. They leaned against each other with their backs facing each other, and no matter how cold the evening breeze was, they didn't feel cold.
"Brother, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be sleeping in this wilderness now. Will you regret picking me up?" Chu Runrun asked.
Ning Xuan chuckled and patted Chu Ruanruan's head lightly with his big hand:
"If I hadn't met you, I might not be alive today. How could I sleep in the wilderness?"
Chu Runrun didn't say anything else. Ning Xuan's palm was too warm, and she couldn't help but fall asleep.
"Ruanruan, I never regret meeting you, because... I love you!"
Chu Runrun didn't hear what Ning Xuan said, but Ning Yu, who stood up to keep watch for Ning Xuan, heard it.
He had always felt that Xiao Si's feelings for Ruan Ruan were more than just siblings. Now that he heard Xiao Si say this with his own ears, Ning Yu felt a little uncomfortable.
The sister I watched grow up was suddenly kidnapped by my own brother. I can’t tell whether this feeling is good or bad, but I’m not very happy anyway.
"Xiao Si, you are hiding your thoughts very deeply!" Ning Yu whispered.
Ning Xuan said without hiding anything: "I have never hidden it, but Ruanruan is still young and I don't want to hurt her."
"Do Third Uncle and Third Aunt know?" Ning Yu asked.
Ning Xuan shook his head: "Probably... I don't know!"
Ning Yu chuckled and said, "If they knew, I'm afraid you would be skinned alive."
"I'm not worried about my parents, the most difficult thing is my grandfather." Ning Xuan said with a wry smile.
The old man has always loved his grandson as if he were his life. If he knew that his grandson had kidnapped his granddaughter, he would probably have a heart attack.
"Wait a few years, when Ruanruan grows up, if you really want to be together, grandpa won't disagree. After all, this little cabbage will be eaten by a pig sooner or later. Instead of being someone else's pig, it's better to have it at your own expense." Ning Yu said with a smile.
Ning Xuan looked at Ning Yu with a frown on his face: "Brother, are you giving me advice?"
Ning Yu smiled playfully and said, "Of course! Go to sleep, I'll keep watch."
The night passed quickly, and the next morning, everyone was awakened by the first rays of sunlight in the sky.
After living in the city for a long time, even if you get up early, you rarely see such a beautiful sunrise.
The fiery red sun with the orange-yellow morning glow dyed the sky, as beautiful as a painting.
"It's really beautiful!" Ge Hanlin couldn't help but exclaimed.
Suddenly, a clear dragon roar came from the valley.
Chu Ruanruan looked towards the source of the sound, which was exactly the direction of the Dragon King.
"Let's pack up and hurry over there!" Chu Runrun said.
When traveling on the mountain, things always look very close, but they are actually very far away. The mountain road is steep, and it took everyone almost half a day to finally reach the cliff.
The cave below is where the Dragon King is. Their ropes are not long enough, but these vines can serve as ropes very well.
For safety reasons, Chu Qi wrapped the rope around the seven people one by one. Since Dahei couldn't climb up, she had to make a vine hanging basket for it and lower it down.
Dahei now weighs more than 100 pounds, and it took seven people working together to put it down.
When he was three or four meters away from the bottom of the cliff, Dahei jumped down.
The fog below was very light, and everyone could see Dahei's figure.
Seven people slowly climbed down the vines, and Dahei squatted underneath to prevent anyone from falling. He could also serve as a cushion in time.
Half an hour later, Chu Runrun successfully landed on the ground, and Ning Xuan followed closely behind.
The others were quite steady, but Chi Longfei climbed very slowly, as if he was running out of energy.
"Chi Longfei, be careful!" Chu Runrun shouted loudly.
"Well! I...ah!" Before Chi Longfei could finish his sentence, the vine in his hand broke with a snap.
Chi Longfei fell down and everyone ran over to catch him.
But the next second, a force surged out of the cave and held him firmly.
Chi Longfei raised his face, and no one saw the red that flashed in his eyes or the slight movement of his lips.
The force slowly lowered Chi Longfei to the ground and quickly returned to the cave.
"Chi Longfei, are you okay?" Everyone rushed over.
"I... I'm fine!" Chi Longfei's face turned pale with fright.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Chi Longfei was not injured.
"Handsome Chi, I will definitely arrange special training for you when we get back. You need to train to keep your physique in shape!" Chu Qi said.
"I'm sorry for holding you back!" Chi Longfei said with a smile.
As he was speaking, the fog in the mountains descended again, and soon the sunlight was blocked.
A dragon roar was heard from the cave, and those two eyes as big as lanterns flashed by again.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Everyone immediately formed a formation, with Chu Runrun and Ning Xuan leading the way, Ning Yu and Chu Qi bringing up the rear, and the people in the middle moving forward in a group.
It was very dark in the cave, and the flashlight could only illuminate the area a few steps ahead.
The bats hanging upside down on the ceiling of the cave were affected by the light and all flew down at once. Everyone immediately squatted down with their heads in their hands.
Fortunately, these bats did not hurt anyone, and after dodging them, everyone continued to move forward.
Suddenly, a creaking sound came from the darkness, like stones rubbing against each other.
Chu Ruanruan raised the flashlight and saw the two eyes like red lanterns hanging high above the cave.
Everyone was startled, but as they shone the flashlight over there, Chu Runrun discovered that the two red lanterns were actually made of stone and would reflect light.
