Chapter 262 - The Giant Sand Rats
Chapter 262 - The Giant Sand Rats
'Let's see who the culprit is.'
Zhao Luo thought with a smile. Even though he suspected Senior Cutie,
'It would be a bliss to catch him in the act.'
Zhao Luo smiled as he waited for the obvious suspect to continue with the act.
Since he had moved away from Xiao Yu and Pi Hao, if it was them, they would have to make bigger movements but if it was Senior Cutie as Zhao Luo had expected then his movements will be short.
A moment later, Zhao Luo was already glancing at the other two from the side of his eyes when a finger struck his back.
Zhao Luo instantly responded by grabbing the finger but for some reason, the finger felt softer and longer than what a man's finger would feel like.
The four were sitting right next to the corpses while the mountain of corpses was on Zhao Luo's right.
Zhao Luo turned around and looked at the finger as he followed along the length of the finger to the hand, and then the arm which was stretched out from under the corpse mountain.
"I think the leader of the spies is awake."
Zhao Luo informed the others as the bony hand was squirming as if the owner of the hand was short of breath.
Senior Cutie who was facing forward towards the direction they were going didn't see the hand.
"Ignore the leader."
"But she had already freed her arm."
Zhao Luo said to Senior Cutie who then turned around and looked at the hand as he hurriedly removed the pile of corpses by placing them to the side.
"How did you ree yourself?"
Senior Cutie questioned the masked Leader whose chest with the two peaks was going up and down as she kept on breathing in and out furiously.
The chain with which Senior Cutie had tied her, was still there yet she had freed one of her arms.
"Haha."
The leader of the spies laughed instead of answering Senior Cutie's question but a moment later she started shivering as the feeling of cold struck her bloodied body.
As she was buried under the other spies and her black robe had absorbed most of the blood,, thus her robe was as wet as it could be which made it hard for her not to shiver under the coldness of the desert while Bimba was moving towards the Xin Range's direction at his full speed,
"You will die of frostbite if we don't throw these corpses on you. So, what do you want?"
Zhao Luo questioned her with sad eyes, even though they were enemies, Zhao Luo wasn't a fan of torturing someone like this, especially not a lady.
"Just kill me."
The leader of the spies replied to Zhao Luo from under her masked mouth.
'As if I would take your pity.'
She thought while looking at Zhao Luo's eyes which were filled with only worry for her and nothing else.
"Suit yourself."
"Little Brother, you are still too inexperienced to deal with the people of Qi Sect."
Senior Cutie who had faced the spies o the Qi Sect for the first time in his life, said to Zhao Luo while shaking his head.
Without talking to the spy leader, he brought out another chain and tied her hands with it after which he threw all the corpses on her, burying her under them once again.
"That's how you d-"
SQQUEAAAAAAK~
A sharp scream interrupted Senior Cutie who was telling Zhao Luo and the other about the proper way of dealing with the enemy.
"It's definitely a giant sand rat."
Senior Cutie looked towards the right while Bimba kept on moving ahead.
"That's the target of the remaining mission."
Zhao Luo mumbled as he patted Bimba's back and pointed towards their right.
"There."
Zhao Luo said to the beast as Bimba instantly leaped towards his right before running in that direction.
Soon, they could see a big group of the last target of their beast subjugation missions.
"There they are."
Pi Hao shouted as he pointed his hand towards a giant rat.
'They look cute though.'
Zhao Luo thought as he stared at the giant rats that were still far from them.
There were only a few of them unlike the forty mentioned in the mission detail and the appearance looked nothing like that of a beast except the giant size that each of the rats was around 2 meters tall, that is half the size of Bimba's current size.
The giant sand rat had big round eyes and a furry body with white hair that looked beautiful in the dark desert.
"They are like harmless pet hamsters."
Zhao Luo thought of the cute hamsters that were run around in a loop, cutely, to pass their time.
"Hah, they are one of the most aggressive beasts in the desert."
Senior Cutie told Zhao Luo as the distance between them and the rats shortened.
The moment the giant rats realized a sand lion running towards them, the few of them looked at Bimba with their big red eyes.
Zhao Luo felt nervous after listening to Senior Cutie but the next scene scared him a little as more than sixty big red eyes opened in front of them.
'Gulp.'
"Hah, what if we disturb their sleep?"
Zhao Luo questioned Senior Cutie as his saliva hardly moved down his throat.
"Then they will come for your life."
Senior Cutie replied with an equally nervous tone.
"Get ready."
Zhao Luo shouted as he took out his glass sword and wielded it with both of his hands.
'Roar.'
Bimba suddenly stopped and cried out as even the beast knew that he couldn't fight a giant sand rat with the corpses and the fruit-filled bags on its bag.
"It's okay, we can take care of them ourselves. Just protect the bags."
Zhao Luo patted Bimba's back while jumping off.
Senior Cutie was already swinging his bronze rod while warming himself up.
Xiao Yu and Pi Hao also joined them.
"We can handle them, just stay back."
Zhao Luo told them as he was confident in himself and Senior Cutie.
"It's okay. Give me a sword."
Xiao Yu moved up and stood next to Zhao Luo while asking for a sword.
