Chapter 537 Hurt You Again?
Chapter 537 Hurt You Again?
Shen Wanwan seemed to notice Gu Beichen's change of mood and glanced at him, "Little Candle Dragon is your contracted beast now, you should at least treat it better."
"I understand. I will listen to you from now on." Gu Beichen muttered softly.
Shen Wanwan moved her mind, and a roll of bandage appeared in her hand, and she began to fix Gu Beichen's broken bones.
When the bandage was wrapped around Gu Beichen's waist, the two of them were very close, almost touching each other.
Gu Beichen's clothes had been taken off, and Shen Wanwan's warm breath sprayed on him, and a strange feeling instantly flowed through his limbs and bones.
His breathing became a little rapid.
"What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
"No, no." Gu Beichen's earlobes turned even redder.
Shen Wanwan was suspicious, "Why are you shaking without me?"
The movements of his hands became lighter and lighter. The bandage was wrapped around twice and finally tied into a slipknot on his waist. It looked like a butterfly and a flower.
"Alright," Shen Wanwan glanced at the clothes thrown on the ground, "Wait a moment, I'll get you a set of clean clothes."
"Not really..."
He thought that there was no need to change his clothes. Maybe he could get out of the desert tomorrow, and it wouldn't be too late to change his clothes after that.
Shen Wanwan didn't give him a chance to finish his words, "Would you rather change your bed after you leave?"
Two days ago, he said there was no need to change. If I hadn't insisted, he would still be wearing those sticky clothes.
Changing clothes is always easier than changing bedding.
Shen Wanwan ignored Gu Beichen and turned to walk straight towards the closet.
There are really enough supplies in the space. There are ten full boxes of clothes alone.
When Nangong Wanning was preparing these supplies, she didn't know that Nangong Xiyu would not come along, so there were not only clothes for adults, but also for the five-year-old and eight-year-old children.
Not only that, she also specially added soft couches to the dormitory and study, and even added a long bench to the pharmacy.
Of course, when Nangong Wanning moved the things into the space, he did it secretly, and Xie Leqing and others were not aware of it.
Gu Beichen lived in the dormitory. After Xie Moxuan entered the space, he rested on the soft couch in the dormitory.
Shen Wanwan forced the study room on Ye Tianlan on the pretext of tinkering with medicine, but after Ye Tianlan entered the space, apart from eating and drinking, he spent almost all his time meditating by the spiritual spring.
Wanwan is right, changing clothes is always easier than changing the bed.
Gu Beichen didn't insist anymore.
Looking at the dirty clothes on the ground, he frowned unconsciously.
Ever since he and Wanwan expressed their feelings to each other, he seemed to be in a mess in front of Wanwan.
It was like this two days ago and it is the same today.
Gu Beichen was a little annoyed.
There is only one dormitory in the entire space, and he has occupied it.
With Ye Tianlan around, there was no way he would agree to let Wanwan be alone in a room with him.
If he hadn't been injured, Wan Ning could have rested well in the dormitory without having to always find excuses to go to the pharmacy.
When Shen Wanwan came back with the clothes, Gu Beichen had already stood up and was sitting upright on the couch.
He stretched out his hand towards Shen Wanwan, but she dodged it.
"Put your hands up, and I'll help you get dressed."
“…Wanwan, I can actually…”
"Of course I know you can put it on yourself, but I don't want all the hard work I just put in to go to waste."
Finally, under Shen Wanwan's insistence, Gu Beichen compromised.
……
Early the next morning.
The four of them came out of the space after having breakfast.
In order to save time, they unanimously decided that Ye Tianlan would fly on his sword and take everyone to their destination.
Before leaving, Shen Wanwan asked Gu Beichen, "Is the little Candle Dragon still not awake?"
If Xiao Zhulong was in the space, she would definitely be able to feel it.
But in order to avoid any mistakes, she still confirmed again whether Xiao Zhulong was in Gu Beichen's sea of consciousness.
Gu Beichen nodded, his eyes filled with regret, "Not yet."
Shen Wanwan pursed her lips and said nothing more.
After learning about Xiao Zhulong's experience last night, she regretted forcing Xiao Zhulong to swear the day before yesterday.
The little guy wanted to stay in the space just to use the spiritual energy inside to improve his strength, but I forced it to swear to the sky, which was really too much.
There is an endless supply of spiritual energy in the space, so why not use some of it?
What's more, it is Gu Beichen's contracted beast, which means it is one of his own. She has never been stingy with her own people, but she was confused about this matter.
Obviously, it was still upset about the fact that it had cursed at it when they first met.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but curse in her heart: Damn prejudice!
Xie Moxuan suddenly spoke up: "Come to think of it, it's all thanks to it that we were able to confirm the specific locations of the remaining three positions so quickly. I just wonder if it will be awake by the time we reach our destination."
For a moment, no one responded.
A gentle breeze blew towards them, and the four people's clothes fluttered above the Lingxu Sword.
Ye Tianlan's flying speed with the sword was not fast, but it was faster than everyone walking on the sand.
Four hours later.
"It should be there,"
Gu Beichen pointed ahead and said, "Strange, the ground seems to be different from yesterday."
"Indeed, if I remember correctly, that position is in the middle, but now it seems to be obviously different from what we saw yesterday."
Ye Tianlan glanced down and drove the Lingxu Sword slowly downwards.
Shen Wanwan jumped off the Lingxu Sword first, followed closely by Gu Beichen, and then Xie Moxuan.
Ye Tianlan was the last one to come down, and almost at the same time, he put the Lingxu Sword into his Qiankun bag.
After Shen Wanwan landed, she thought and a blueprint appeared in her hand. "According to your drawing, this should be the highest point in the basin."
The terrain where the four people are now is obviously much lower than the nearby terrain.
But in the picture drawn by Gu Beichen and Xie Moxuan, the place where they were standing should be in the middle of the basin, which should be much higher than the ground next to it.
"But this place is obviously much lower than the ground next to it." Ye Tianlan looked around and seemed to be thinking about something.
Shen Wanwan took two steps forward. "The sand here seems to be looser than the sand we've stepped on elsewhere... It's like someone has dug it up."
Suddenly remembering something, she asked anxiously, "Where was the sand beast tide you saw yesterday?"
"Do you suspect that the sand beasts dug the sand down when they passed by here?" Xie Moxuan raised the question in his heart.
Shen Wanwan shook her head, "No, I suspect that what you saw in the sky was what the sand beast tide looked like when it was underground here.
"I remember the sand beast tide was moving from west to east, and we've been following that direction this time. But you also said that when you look down at the ground from above, this is a basin, and the ground in the middle is higher than the surrounding areas."
She pointed to the distance and said, "Look, this sunken area is quite large. If those sand beasts are hiding here, it seems to be just right."
Ye Tianlan suddenly squatted down and picked out a few hairs from the sand on the ground.
"Wan'er is right. This is most likely the hiding place of the sand beasts. They left last night, and this is the evidence."
The three of them looked at Ye Tianlan's palm at the same time, and saw some yellow-brown hair.
Gu Beichen and Xie Moxuan were suddenly speechless.
When they looked down at the ground from a high altitude, they saw a circular basin with a circular bulge in the middle.
But now when they were told that the reason this raised ground was higher than other places was because there were animals hiding underground, they were really left in a state of confusion.
Xie Moxuan couldn't help but grumble, "If that's the case, then those sand beasts are incredibly clever. They're actually able to form a circle and hide underground. Furthermore, there are at least thousands of them, if not tens of thousands. They're huddled together like a pile of Arhats, and they're not afraid of suffocating to death."
Gu Beichen looked around and saw that the entire ground was originally a complete basin.
When he was at high altitude yesterday, he felt that the round convex surface of this position was very abrupt.
Ye Tianlan suddenly said: "Perhaps those sand beasts will come back at night. We have to leave here first."
According to records about sand beasts in ancient books, they hide under the sand during the day and only come out at night to hunt. They are social animals and all come out when hunting.
Therefore, they have at least two nests, and if I'm not mistaken, this is one of them.
When sand beasts go out to hunt in groups, they naturally have to leave their nests. Then the originally flat or high ground will become concave due to their absence.
