Traveling back to ancient times to determine the zodiac

"You didn't eat?" Dian was even more surprised and asked, "If you didn't eat, why did you ask us to throw so many palm fruits down? I thought you were going to stay in the cave for two days!"

"Stop your head!" Lei reached out and knocked on the computer bag, saying, "I gave those brown fruits to the bandicoots."

"Lei, have you seen the bandicoot? What does the bandicoot look like?" Xiaoxing asked hurriedly.

"It was pitch black in the cave, and I couldn't see what it looked like, but I made a deal with it." Lei cleared his throat and talked about what happened in the cave: "When I just fell in, I saw two green eyes of a bandicoot not far away. I was a little nervous, worried that it would eat me, and I was ready to resist at any time with a stone knife. But it didn't attack me. After watching for a while, it continued to sleep.

Later, Feng dropped some brown fruits for me to eat. I ate one and the bandicoot probably smelled the fragrance and came over to ask, "Human, what are you eating? It smells so good."

I answered: 'It's the palm fruit on this tree!'

The bandicoot said, "I have been living underground for years eating the rhizomes of the five-finger palm, but they are not as fragrant as this."

I said: "This palm fruit is roasted over fire, so of course it tastes delicious!"

Then the bandicoot asked, 'Would you give me one to try?'

I thought about the fact that the bandicoot had refused to help us, and an idea suddenly occurred to me. I said, "As long as you promise to help us defeat the Dog King and the Nian Beast, you can eat as much as you want."

The bandicoot hesitated for a moment and said, "Nian Di is the king of the animal world. If you can't defeat him, you will certainly implicate me."

I said, "The Nian beast was once defeated by humans. As long as you are willing to help, we can definitely destroy it."

The bandicoot finally couldn't resist the temptation of the brown fruit and agreed: "Okay, I promise to help you defeat the Dog King and the Nian Emperor."

I shouted happily: "Great, bandicoot, you can take this palm fruit and eat it."

In a few seconds, the bandicoot ate the nut and asked again, "This roasted nut is really delicious. Do you have any more?"

So I asked Brother Feng to throw a few more down, and they were eaten up in just a short while. Seeing how much it ate, I asked you to throw more. Then, Brother Xing came back and used the vine rope to rescue me! "

"Lei, you have done a great deed by moving the bandicoot." Dong said.

"Brother Dong, the bandicoot promised to help us before it ate the brown fruits. What if it changes its mind after it finishes eating them?" Although Xiaoxing was happy, he still had some concerns.

"Brother Dong, Brother Xing, when the bandicoot has finished eating, tell it to come up and go with us. That way we don't have to worry!" Lei said, and then he lay down at the entrance of the cave and shouted into the cave: "Bandicoot, when you have finished eating the brown fruit, come up and go to the Soul-Channel with us!"

"Awesome human, you guys go back first. After I finish eating, I will go directly to the Cave of Confusion from this cave." The bandicoot replied.

"Brother Xing, the bandicoot told us to go back first and it will go out through the hole later." Lei relayed to Xiaoxing.

"Could the bandicoot be deceiving us?" Dong said doubtfully, "What if we leave and it doesn't go?"

"Yes, yes, what if Tu Li doesn't keep his word?" Xi Hechen and others expressed their concern.

"Brother Dong, brothers, since the bandicoot has agreed, why not trust it this time? Because even if it goes back on its word, we can't do anything about it." Xiaoxing persuaded everyone.

"Brother Xing is right. Let's go back first!" Lei nodded in agreement.

After everyone had made up their mind, they returned to the Soul-Enchanting Cave in Beehive Mountain in the middle of the night.

After another two days of trekking, Xiaoxing and Dong and the others returned to the entrance of Mihun Cave. Zhi saw them coming back and hurried forward to greet them: "Dong, Xing, you have worked hard. Did you invite the bandicoot?"

"Uncle Zhi, didn't you see the bandicoot coming?" Dong asked back.

"We have been guarding here, but we haven't seen any bandicoots coming?" Zhi replied curiously.

"It's over, it's over." Dong stumbled and yelled, "Xing, it seems we've all been fooled by the bandicoot. What should we do?"

"Brother Dong, maybe the bandicoot is not as fast as us and will definitely come later." Xiaoxing didn't think so.

"Dong, Xing, what's the situation with inviting the raccoon this time? Tell me quickly." Zhi Jiandong was shocked and very confused.

"Uncle Zhi, we walked for two days and finally arrived at Guishan. Then we split up and searched at the foot of the mountain, and found the cave where the bandicoot was hiding. But no matter how we begged, the bandicoot remained unmoved and refused to agree. Lei was furious and cursed at the time. He stomped his feet and collapsed the cave entrance, and he fell in. The cave was very deep, so Xing, Xi and others hurried to cut vines to save Lei. After we left, Chen and Feng and others roasted palm fruits to eat, and threw the cooked palm fruits into the cave for Lei to eat. When we came back after cutting the vines and rescued Lei from the cave, Lei said that the bandicoot had agreed to help us because it wanted to eat the palm fruits. We invited the bandicoot to go with us, but it told us to go first and it would go directly to the Mihun Cave from the cave. Unexpectedly, the bandicoot was completely fooling us and would not come after eating." Dong told Zhi the whole story.

"Dong, what you mean is that the bandicoot is suspected of deceiving us?" Zhi asked.

"That's right, Uncle Zhi. I think the bandicoot is just trying to please us in order to eat the roasted palm fruit. This bandicoot is actually a big liar and a shameless thing." Dong couldn't help but curse.

"Eeyore - powerful humans, who are you scolding? Who is the liar?" A strange cry and angry protest came from underground.

Everyone looked around in surprise, wondering where the sound came from. Xiao Xing was surprised and delighted, and shouted loudly: "Bandit, is that you? Please show yourself."

As soon as Xiao Xing finished speaking, a monster suddenly emerged from the empty ground in front of everyone, glared at everyone, and said coldly: "Powerful humans, we animals don't lie. If we lose our integrity, how can we stand in the world? Since I promised to help you, I will definitely come."

The mysterious bandicoot finally revealed its true face. It has a body like a pangolin, but has eyes like a night cat, long ears like a rabbit, and sharp front claws.

Dong looked at the bandicoot that suddenly appeared, listened to its righteous rebuttal, and thought about how he had deliberately deceived everyone into not knowing the "Bai Du Xiao" grass, which had almost poisoned Xiao Xing to death. A feeling of shame left him speechless and stunned.

"Tu Li, I'm really sorry. We were so eager to celebrate the New Year that we misunderstood you. Please forgive us." Xiao Xing hurriedly bowed and apologized.

"Since you apologized sincerely, I'll let what happened just now go." said the bandicoot.

"Bandit, I'm very curious, how did you find the Cave of the Enchantment so quickly?" Xiaoxing asked.

"To be honest, as long as I lie down and listen, I can hear clearly any movement within a radius of dozens of miles. Even if you go to the ends of the earth, I can catch up with you immediately." The bandicoot answered arrogantly.

"Balita, you can hear any movement within dozens of miles. Is this true?" Zhi asked in surprise.

"Of course!" The bandicoot raised his head and answered proudly.

"Bandit, please listen to what the Dog King and the Nian Beast are saying now. Where are they?" Zhi asked expectantly.

"No problem, it's a small matter." The bandicoot agreed, then lay down on the ground with his ears pressed against the ground.

After a while, the bandicoot stood up and said, "Awesome human! Five miles deep in the Soul-Bending Cave, I heard Emperor Nian say to the Dog King, 'Dog Head, this time humans actually broke into the third-level purple crystal cave - your doghouse, and chased us everywhere. This really scared me to death.'

The dog king replied: "Don't be afraid, Emperor Nian. I have said that I am the master of my territory. Didn't I just fool them around?"

Emperor Nian asked again: "Doghead, since the human attack failed this time, will they attack again?"

The dog king replied: "I guess humans will be disheartened when they return, and they might just roll back to Hongmeng. Woof woof woof..."

"Woof woof woof..." The other dogs laughed.

At this time, Emperor Nian still looked very worried and said, "Doghead, humans are stubborn and incorrigible. In my opinion, they will not give up so easily."

The Dog King comforted Emperor Nian and said, "Emperor Nian, given this complex terrain, even if humans attack a thousand times, it will be in vain. Just sleep here peacefully."

The Emperor Nian then turned his worry into joy: "Doghead, I hope everything is as you said. I am sleepy and need to have a good sleep."

Finally, the Dog King, Emperor Nian, and all the dogs fell into a deep sleep. "

"Damned Dog King, damned Nian beast, they really took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain to play hide-and-seek with us." After hearing this, Zhi waved his fist and said angrily.

"Uncle Zhi, since the dog king likes to play hide-and-seek, let's play with them to our heart's content this time." Dong shouted, clenching his fist.

"Damned Dog King and Nian Beast, they are still dreaming of never catching up with you! Humph! This time we have the help of the bandicoot, let's see where you can run?" Xiaoxing said coldly.

"Uncle Zhi, Brother Dong, Xing, let's attack now and wipe out the dog-head and the Nian beast at once." Chen, Yue, Xi, Bei and the others were ready to fight and asked for a fight.

Zhi waved his hand at the crowd and announced, "Dong, Xing, and fellow warriors, this bandicoot can not only see in the dark, but can also identify the way by sound. With my hunting experience of more than fifty years, the Dog King and Nian Beast will surely be captured. Now I declare: the bandicoot will be the guide, and Dong and Xing will lead the 400 warriors into the cave as usual and attack the dog's den. Old Yang, Old Liu, I and the remaining warriors will guard the cave entrance."

"Yes, Uncle Zhi." Everyone responded loudly.

After everyone had prepared their weapons and torches, Zhi said to everyone, "Dong, Xing, you must be careful and attentive. I hope we can succeed this time and destroy the Nian beast."

"Yes, Uncle Zhi." Dong and Xiaoxing agreed, and then led everyone to follow the bandicoot and headed for the Soul-Blinding Cave. With its super hearing, the bandicoot passed through the intricate and complicated Soul-Blinding Cave with great familiarity. The bandicoot was much faster than the tortoise, and in just two hours, it passed through the first earth cave and came to the second water cave. Then it passed through the water cave and entered the third purple crystal cave.

"Brothers, we have arrived at the Dog King's Amethyst Cave. Everyone pick up your weapons and be on high alert." Xiaoxing ordered everyone.

The bandicoot listened for a while and said, "Great human! The Dog King, the Nian Emperor, the Pig King and others are still in the doghouse. Come with me."

After the bandicoot finished speaking, he led everyone to rush to the doghouse. But when everyone arrived, the Dog King and the Nian Emperor had already left, and everyone rushed to find nothing again.

"That damn dog-head has escaped with the Nian beast again." Dong cursed with gritted teeth.

"Bandit, listen again to where the Dog King and the others ran to?" Xiaoxing said to the bandit.

"Yes, powerful human." The bandicoot pricked up his long ears and listened, then looked up and said, "Doghead and Nian Di are now in a flat area half a mile away. Let's go and chase them!"

"Okay, we'll listen to you." Xiaoxing nodded, and followed Dong to chase after the fox. Soon, they chased to the next flat land, but they still came up empty-handed.

The bandicoot pricked up his long ears and listened, saying, "Great human, the Dog King and the Nian Emperor have run to the next flat land, let's continue chasing them."

"Bandit, this way of chasing is the same as last time. The Dog King always escapes first and we don't get any fur in the end. We have to think of a way this time." Xiaoxing shook his head and stopped him.

"Xing, what else can we do besides speeding up and chasing?" Dong asked.

"I got it." Xiao Xing's eyes rolled, and a plan came to mind. He patted his head and said, "Bandit, can you find a way to get ahead of the Dog King and the others? We can attack them from both sides, block the hole and beat the dogs. Let's see where they can escape to."
