Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

Chapter 441 Heading to the Underground River!

"Uh, I'm interrupting you, could you please listen to me for a few seconds..."

Bian Ri, who had finally recovered his breath at the door, walked in with unsteady steps. He looked at the mess in the house and spoke with a hint of fatigue and hesitation:

"Everyone, I don't know much, but I do have a clue to the treasure. It's said to be hidden in an underground river in a desert oasis."

"Um?"

Bai Tang instantly jumped in front of Bian Ri like a lit firecracker, his eyes wide open in disbelief:

"What? An underground river in a desert oasis? How is that possible? How can treasure be in a place like that?"

Mo Zi hurried forward, gently patted Bai Tang's shoulder, shook his head at him, and then turned his gaze to Bian Ri, with a hint of expectation on his cold face:

"Why do you know so much, and why are you always by our side no matter what we do?"

Bian Ri suddenly raised his head, and the moment his eyes met Mo Zi, he quickly lowered his head again, and the panic on his face was obvious.

"Uh, this..."

Bian Ri nervously tugged at the corner of his clothes with both hands and muttered:

"Luck, luck or coincidence. That...that underground river is absolutely fraught with danger and traps. I only heard about it by chance, so its exact location is hard to pinpoint."

"Hmph, a sneaky and cunning fellow..."

Wu Song's brows knitted into the shape of a "川" character, and he took a large step forward. His entire body exuded a fierce aura, like a beast ready to pounce.

"Stop talking nonsense. Now that you have the clue, don't hide it. We, the Xingluo Squad, have helped you so much. You're not trying to play any tricks on us, are you?"

He clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white and made a crackling sound. The intimidating force made Bian Ri shiver.

"Don't do it..."

Bian Ri was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly, his voice trembling a little:

"No, no, I'll tell you everything I know right now. But... I heard that the underground river is firmly guarded by a mysterious force, and they will show no mercy to intruders."

"Um?"

Da Fei scratched his head, his face filled with doubts like a dark cloud:

"Mysterious force? What mysterious force? Is it more powerful than the guy that Sister A Zi just beat down?"

"Da Fei, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiaoqing snorted lightly, full of disdain, and gripped the bow tighter, with a determined light flashing in her eyes:

"I don't care what kind of power he has. We in Xingluo Class are never afraid of him! My sister can use my brother's strength. What difficulties or obstacles can stop us?"

"Well, it's better to be careful..."

Mo Zi nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on Bian Ri:

"In that case, please tell us in detail about the underground river so we can plan and prepare in advance."

Bian Ri took a deep breath and said slowly:

"The underground river is hidden deep within the oasis, with frequent sandstorms around it, making it extremely dangerous. The entrance is hidden within an ancient ruin, which is filled with quicksand traps. Once trapped, it's difficult to escape."

"The underground river flows with an erratic flow. Sometimes it surges violently, as if threatening to devour everything; other times it remains eerily still, concealing a hidden mystery. The river is also filled with a poisonous mist that corrodes everything, forbidding approach. Furthermore, the riverbed is said to be guarded by mysterious creatures. They resemble giant pythons, but have sharp fangs, are immensely powerful, and are incredibly ferocious."

"This……"

After hearing this, Bai Tang's face flashed with fear, but he quickly straightened up like a puffed-up ball.

"Hmph, it's just quicksand traps, poisonous fog, and strange creatures. I'm not afraid! With our Xingluo team working together, we will definitely overcome these difficulties and successfully find the treasure!"

"Bai Tang is right..."

Mo Zi pondered for a moment, his voice steady and powerful:

"No matter how many difficulties and obstacles we face, we must never retreat. Everyone go back and make good preparations. Tomorrow morning, we must set off for the desert oasis on time."

"it is good!"

The cats all responded in unison and dispersed to pack their bags, while Bian Ri returned to his tribe with a heavy heart.

……

In the tribe, the tribesmen gathered around, their eyes full of concern.

"Chief, what was that fighting noise over there just now?"

"Why are you like this? Are you injured?"

Bian Ri looked at the familiar faces, his eyes slightly reddened, and his voice was choked with sobs:

"My fellow tribesmen, I have decided to follow these foreign cats to explore the secrets of the underground river in the desert oasis. My fate is uncertain, but if I can find the legendary treasure, perhaps I can bring lasting peace and prosperity to our tribe."

A white-haired elder walked forward with a staggering step, shook Bian Ri's hand tightly, and said earnestly:

"Chief, you must be careful. Danger is everywhere in the desert. We all hope that you can return safely."

Bian Ri nodded heavily, tears glistening in his eyes:

"I will, Elder. Everyone, please take care of yourselves while I'm away."

"This airbag, Chief, is a small token of my appreciation..."

The tribesmen offered their blessings one after another. Some handed over carefully prepared dry food, and some took out amulets made by themselves, hoping to bring good luck to the debate day.

"Thank you, thank you..."

Bian Ri accepted them one by one, his heart filled with emotion. With this warmth and concern, he reunited with the Xingluo class.

……

The next morning, the dim morning light shone on the city gate. The Xingluo Squad had already gathered in high spirits, and Bian Ri also arrived as scheduled.

"Haha, I can finally keep going. I'm getting so bored here..."

"Don't be impatient, Maruko. Do you know what experience is?"

"It starts again... No, the clan leader is here, we have to leave, haha"

At a command, they embarked on a long journey to the underground river of the desert oasis.

The scorching sun poured unhindered onto the golden sand, reflecting a dazzling light that seemed to set the entire world on fire.

"hey-hey……"

White sugar is like a tireless little monkey, jumping up and down in the team, full of energy.

"Tell me more..."

He would jump to Bianri's side and pester him like a curious baby, asking him about various details of the underground river, with excitement shining in his eyes;

After a while, he ran to Wu Song's side, gesturing excitedly and imagining the scene of fighting with the mysterious creature, muttering to himself:

"Wusong, when we find the treasure, I'm going to exchange it for lots of delicious food, like candied haws and osmanthus cake. I want one of each!"

Wu Song rolled his eyes at him in disdain, but couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly:

"You only know how to eat. Think about how to get past those traps first, or you might get swallowed by quicksand without even realizing it."

"call--"

Dafei was carrying a heavy bag, but his steps were still steady, leaving a deep footprint in the sand with every step.

From time to time, he took off his hat and fanned himself vigorously, with a simple smile on his face:

"It's really hot today. The sun is like a furnace. When I find the underground river, I must dive in to cool down and drive away all the heat."

This made Xiaoqing giggle. She hopped lightly to Dafei like a clever little bird, blinking playfully:

"Da Fei, don't let the poisonous fog in the river make you faint. We'll have to fish you out then!"

When the cats heard this, they couldn't help but burst into laughter, and their laughter echoed far and wide in the empty desert.

Bian Ri looked at this group of energetic young people, and his nervousness gradually relaxed. He also joked:

"You guys, don't underestimate the dangers along the way. But with you here, this originally dead and terrifying desert has become a little more lively and doesn't feel so scary anymore."
