“This Omega really cannot do without Mr. Lu for a moment.”
…
Ever since they found out what creatures were hiding in the sand, Xian Dan and the others were visibly trembling even when they were walking, and they were always distracted looking at the ground in the distance, feeling as if something was wriggling under the ground somewhere.
Because of a leg injury, Qin Qi was still stuffed back on the back of the camel horse. The distance of three meters from a camel horse gave him a sense of security, at least not like Xian Dan and Shu Hua——
Ke Ji has already dragged up the captain of the merchant fleet for the third time.
The old oasis forest in this desert is like a primeval forest, densely grown, with intertwined and twisted branches, or tangled tree roots exposed on the ground, just like the tails protruding from the ground, extending sinister tentacles to the creatures that step into the forest.
Xian Dan was restless, he would accidentally tripped by his feet, and was repeatedly pulled up by Ke Ji, showing no professional qualities as a person running a professional merchant firm.
He thanked Ke Ji in a low voice in embarrassment, and personally felt Mr. Ke’s strength.
In normal times, Shu Hua would definitely laugh at this, but now, he deeply understands Xian Dan’s mood.
They are like frightened birds, if they knew the true colors of those creatures, they might not be as panicked as they are now, but it is the half-knowledgeable fear that kills the most.
The imaginative brain weaves all kinds of guesses, no matter which one it is, it can only scare themselves half to death.
The leaves on the left being blown up by the wind can already frighten them, and one or two calls of wild animals from the forest in front can startle them into a cold sweat.
Lu Liran was not too surprised by the reaction of these two people. People are afraid of the unknown. He reckoned that giving those people an hour or two to adapt, they should be able to return to normal.
In Lu Liran’s eyes, no matter how resounding the name of the devil in the desert oasis, it’s nothing more than a biosphere, a place where a bunch of dangerous and rare creatures hide and live.
After correcting his mentality, this is not much different from the No man’s land that Lu Liran had crossed in the past.
——Which one is not an extremely dangerous place?
There are shrubs growing wantonly in the woods, each of them grows to the height of a human, like small saplings, making the oasis like a maze, which is still at the level of nightmare difficulty.
Fortunately, Lu Liran found a battle ax in the sunken ship, plus the machete that Ke Ji carried with him, otherwise, with the previous small outdoor dagger it would have taken several times the effort to walk in such a forest.
Lu Liran and his group pushed forward with difficulty, and before they had gone too far, they heard the familiar sound of a camel horse panting, breathlessly.
Lu Liran’s eyes lit up, and he immediately looked for the source of the sound: “Over there!”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
He took the lead and walked quickly in the forefront, his speed was obviously much faster than before, which immediately made it harder for Shu Hua and the others who were walking hard to keep up.

The corner of Shu Hua’s mouth twitched: “This Omega really cannot do without Mr. Lu for a moment.”
Qin Qi looked at Shu Hua, upon seeing this, and he said: “Then he must be able to stick to him. If you change him to another Omega, do you think they can keep up with Mr. Lu?”
When Shu Hua heard this, he subconsciously looked forward again. In front of his eyes were lush and tall shrubs, and he could only vaguely see the backs of the two people standing side by side.
Shu Hua closed his mouth shut, unexpectedly Ke Ji really caught up with Lu Liran in the blink of an eye.
He thought in his heart, let alone another Omega, even if he changed to an Alpha, he wouldn’t be able to easily catch up with Mr. Lu in such a place, right? Anyway, he couldn’t catch up.
Shu Hua took the machete from Xian Dan’s hand, and it sank as soon as he got it. He was a little surprised at the weight of the machete, although it looked light, it weighed more than ten catties.
He couldn’t imagine that Omega walking all the way with such a heavy machete on his back, and he didn’t fall behind at all.
Didn’t they say that every Omega is very delicate?!
Shu Hua twitched the corner of his mouth, and after trying a few swings, he went to the front to open the way.
Xian Dan followed behind the two camel horses, and Qin Qi sat most comfortably on the back of the camel, resembling a pilgrimage that came out for experience.
Another slash opened the barricade of bushes in front of them.
Shu Hua not only had to open a path for people to walk, but the most important thing was to let the camel horses walk across.
The camel horses that carry heavy loads and were domesticated by human beings were not as adaptable to such terrain as wild camel horses. They walk slowly, stopping from time to time and refusing to go, the tossed Xian Dan was also under a lot of pressure.
The camel horse that had gotten separated from them earlier called out a few times and then suddenly stopped calling.
Without the direction to distinguish the source of the sound, Lu Liran and Ke Ji lost their direction after running tens of meters, and could only judge from the clues around them.
Qin Qi sat high and looked far away. He was the first to see the position of their wandering camel horse, and he couldn’t help reminding them in surprise: “Mr. Lu! Mr. Ke! It’s at your three o’clock position! Walk another hundred meters and you will be there!”
Shu Hua stretched his neck and didn’t see anything, but after hearing what Qin Qi said, he had a goal and immediately quickened his pace.
As he walked and chopped, it seemed that there was always a straw curtain blocking his eyes. After walking for a while, he felt a little strenuous.
Xian Dan opened his mouth and was about to exchange words with Shu Hua, when the machete in Shu Hua’s hand slashed down, and the vision in front of him widened——
There is a lake as big as several soccer fields. The lake is turquoise blue, flat like a blue mirror, giving Shu Hua the illusion that once he walks in, people’s hearts are not so flickle and impetuous.
But soon, Qin Qi broke the tranquility, as he called softly: “Mr. Lu, Mr. Ke, that’s our camel horse!”
Everyone looked in the direction of Qin Qi’s finger, and saw a three-meter-high camel horse lying on the lake not far away, and the supplies on the camel horse’s back were slowly sliding towards the lake along its sloping hump.
Seeing this, Shu Hua’s eyes widened, and he ran over without saying a word.
He flew and hugged the objects sliding into the lake, and used his body against these things that would sink to the bottom of the lake.
Most of the things inside are some furs for keeping warm, and the antelope horn of the black-spotted unicorn that they bought from Lu Liran before. It was half-submerged in the water, and became extremely heavy, even Shu Hua fell down.
Fortunately, Lu Liran and Ke Ji also followed and caught up, and the two joined forces to pull Shu Hua up.
Shu Hua was completely soaked, the water was dripping, and the bag of supplies was also half soaked, the fur was useless.
“What’s the use of saving this bag of things?” Lu Liran’s face was dark. It was only after being rescued that he realized that there was only fur and the antelope horn in it. If he had known earlier, he would never have gone down with Ke Ji.
Shu Hua shook vigorously, shaking off the water droplets on his body like a big dog, and said: “Forget about the fur, this antelope horn is a priceless treasure, and it may be the only harvest we got from entering the Salba Desert this time.”
Lu Liran rolled his eyes.
The three of them were twisting their clothes by the lake, and walking towards the shore, none of them noticed that there was a faint ripple on the lake very close to them from behind.
A string of bubbles surfaced quietly, and under the deep blue water of the lake, a huge shadow with barely visible edges slowly dived down again.
Xian Dan abruptly dragged the two camel horses over, who refused to go this way, seeing that Shu Hua was safe and sound, he was relieved.
“You really jumped into the lake regardless! What if there is something underneath? This lake is so big! If there is a lake monster, I will believe it!” Xian Dan scolded.
Shu Hua touched his nose, then he took out the antelope horn from the bundle and stuffed it to Xian Dan: “Isn’t it because of this baby.”
“Besides, I saw that this bag of supplies is close to the shore, even if there are big things under the lake, it won’t just lean against the shore casually. I’m careful.” Shu Hua said carelessly.
[Heaven, did you notice it just now? Brother Lu’s drone took a bird’s-eye view of them. Is there really something in the lake behind them?!]
[I think it might just be a big rock at the bottom of the lake? After all, if there is such a large shadow, if it is alive, it must be a bastard who has lived for many years??]
[But I saw something spit bubbles! There must be something underwater, and it almost caught up with that big guy]
[That big guy is really lucky…reckless people have reckless blessings…]
[Hey, it’s hard to find such a good place that can be stationed as a camp, as a result, there is still something in the water]
[This is what I said, but if there’s running water and lakes, how can there be no living things in there? Change the way of solving the problem, our Brother Lu has fish to eat tonight]
[Hahahaha, fuck, what a devil]
Lu Liran didn’t pay attention to the live broadcast room at the moment, all his attention was attracted by the camel horse on the shore.
He squatted down and looked at the hoof of the camel horse. There was obviously a circular wound under the hoof, and there were blood stains near the wound. The area around the soft and thick hoof festered, probably because of the wild running, which made the wound worse, and the bright red tender flesh emerged from the rotting wound, and it hurt just looking at it.
Not only that, but the body of this camel horse has become thinner abnormally, and it seems to be empty with the naked eye.
Lu Liran groped on the camel horse’s body, gently pressing its empty abdomen with both hands, it seemed that there were no internal organs inside, only the empty skeleton could be felt.
He couldn’t help but widen his eyes, and when he touched down, he could clearly feel that the camel horse’s four feet were broken, as if it couldn’t support the heavy skeleton, and finally fell down here.
Lu Liran lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on the docile camel horse, with a look of unwillingness flashed across his eyes.
It opened its mouth, snorted, and its body was trying to heave and pant, but it’s chest seemed to collapse, and it didn’t know what happened. Even breathing became extremely difficult, and it was obviously impossible to hold on.
After Xian Dan finished talking to Shu Hua, he looked at it, and pursed his lips when he saw it. He then picked up the machete that was thrown on the ground, and said in a low voice: “Since it’s hopeless, it’s better for it not to suffer so much.”
Lu Liran agreed.
Xian Dan raised the blade, and cut the camel horse’s trachea.
It twitched a few times all over before it was completely motionless.
“Wait a minute, I want to open the cavity to check what’s wrong with it.” Lu Liran called out to Xian Dan, “help me turn it over.”
……an autopsy? Xian Dan and Shu Hua froze in place, looking at each other.
Oh, next a new horror or old?
Loved the visual of Ke Ji scampering after Lu Liren
idk sounds more like old, probably the same blood worm parasite since the description sounds similar to the description of the camel that LL told them about
Mom I don’t want to be scared anymore QAQ thanks for the chapters !
Will he ever learn? Why is Xian Dan forcing 2 unwilling animals to an unknow place? He should know how their instinct work, they’re native from there. It’s obviously a dangerous place and he wont point it out, ugh. 😫
Thanks for the chapter !! < 3
Yes, let’s cut open the camel horse to view what’s eating it from the inside out…nope, not a fabulous idea! Let’s just let whatever quietly eat while getting water and LEAVING. HAHAHAHAHAHA! Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️😳
Yet again, Desert is not on any of my travel plans.
I wonder what’s gonna shock everyone around them the most, that Ke Ji is actually an alpha or that Lu Liran is actually an omega 😂
Oh I’m dying for that reveal, and I’m wondering when the romance will begin, especially since Lu Liran admires Ke Ji, and that Ke Ji is the father of his cub.
».. several times the effort to walk in such a forest .« – extra space at the end

Oooh? Did they found Nessie? xDD I want to know what’s in the water. I guess the camel was eaten up by those worms? Were it worms?
Thx for the ch ٩( >ヮ<)۶
thanks!
Noo don’t check, I don’t want to know what’s inside
