Chapter 129 Mountain Stone Beast

"Don't you guys think it's getting dark a little too early?"

Nan Ran glanced at the chubby-faced little dog and had a bold guess in her mind.

"When we came in, the sun was not yet overhead."

She analyzed carefully, "If we come in, split the boulder, and seal the cave entrance, it will take us at most half an hour."

"Next, rest, resupply, look at the map, and confirm the location..."

Nan Ran recounted in detail everything they had done during this period.

"At most, it will take an hour."

It's still not dark yet.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but recall the past.

only……

“But it’s definitely dark outside.” Xu Hedu frowned.

She had just personally checked the cave entrance; it was dimly lit outside, and only a faint glimmer of light could be seen in the distance.

In other places, it was almost dark.

“It doesn’t necessarily get dark because the sun has set!” Nan Ran’s voice was slightly deep.

Everyone is puzzled.

Nan Ran said, "I've heard that there's a kind of demonic beast that likes to disguise itself as a stone wall and then wait for human cultivators or other demonic beasts to get close."

"The main purpose is to lure monsters here so they can nest and reproduce."

"Once the cubs grow a bit bigger and are no longer breastfed, these monsters disguised as stone walls will take advantage of the adult monsters going out to hunt and refine the cubs!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was instantly shocked!
"There are actually such monstrous beasts in this world?!"

Simply unheard of.

But—"How did Junior Sister Nanran find out?"

How else could we know?
You heard it!

Nan Ran wasn't entirely sure, since when Meng Duanyue and the others were discussing how to get to the core area, she was so confused by the complex geography that she kept feeling sleepy.

I heard a few faint sounds, like hiccups.

But I didn't take it too seriously.

It wasn't until the golden retriever appeared that she heard another sound, coming from outside the cave.

It was quite far away, so I couldn't hear it very clearly. But roughly, I could match it to the sound of a puppy.

This little dog is whimpering and howling; it's probably looking for its owner's (not really) big animal.

The voice outside was demanding the child back.

The gist of it is that something disguised itself as a mountain, misleading the soon-to-be-born mother dog into thinking that it was a sheltered, high-lying, and secluded place where she could give birth safely.

As a result, the mother dog nursed her puppies here for three months. Finally, she managed to raise them to adulthood and then prepared to go out hunting to nourish herself.

To my surprise, when I got back, the sky had fallen!
The children have been refined!
But at this moment, perhaps because of the appearance of these people, the puppy was lured out.

It's also possible that the puppy was simply hungry, so it came out when it smelled meat.

They did indeed cook some meat broth just now.

The appearance of the puppy made the mother dog realize that something might be a hoax; her puppies were not dead at all, and the rock monster was deceiving her.

Thus, the two sides began a standoff...

Well, that's roughly what Nanran heard.

There were some things she couldn't hear very clearly.

But the source of this information certainly cannot be stated directly; it was something she overheard.

Otherwise, someone like her, a pure spirit that's like a running ginseng fruit, and who can understand animal language, would be coveted by countless people.

"I saw it in a book."

Nan Ran smiled, looking honest and simple: "But I'm not sure either. It just feels a bit strange that it's dark, and the appearance of this little dog is also very eerie, so I'm just making a bold guess."

Her expression was sincere, and she didn't seem to be lying.

But then… “Doesn’t that mean we’re currently inside the belly of some kind of monster?!”

But...

"I remember there is indeed a kind of monster in the Water Demon Forest, which is shaped like a rock and is good at disguise."

"The president stays in one place for years on end, lying still."

"And it can also conceal the aura of one's own demonic beast."

"It bewitches other demonic beasts, reaching straight to their stomachs, where it builds nests and hives..."

Xu Hedu's words cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.
