Chapter 396: Chapter 392 A Thrilling Moment Chapter 396: Chapter 392 A Thrilling Moment “Liu Yishou, you don’t need to take turns on guard duty today, just leave it all to Brainless and Unhappy,”

“But remember, Brainless and Unhappy don’t have human thinking. Once I’ve given them the task of standing guard, they will carry it out to the letter. During this time, apart from me, they won’t distinguish friend from foe, so don’t come out of the tent to avoid being accidentally injured by the two of them.”

Fang Xiaocao took a sip of the meat soup with a serious expression and said to Liu Yishou.

Brainless and Unhappy may not have human thinking, but they are smart enough to distinguish friend from foe. However, Fang Xiaocao didn’t trust Liu Yishou and planned to give the two Big Horse Lous an order: if Liu Yishou dared to leave the tent, they should kill without mercy.

This was to prevent Liu Yishou from sneaking around and doing something while everyone else was asleep.

Hearing Fang Xiaocao’s words, Liu Yishou was startled and cast a covert glance at Brainless and Unhappy, a hint of wariness flickering in his eyes.

“Yes, I’ll remember that,”

Liu Yishou said in a deep voice.

“Good, go rest after you’ve eaten,”

Fang Xiaocao said offhandedly.

After speaking, Fang Xiaocao no longer looked at Liu Yishou and continued to carelessly sip her meat soup.

Before Fang Xiaocao finished speaking, the crafty Thousand Faces immediately grabbed a few pieces of dried meat and stood up, heading towards the tent, “Princess Your Highness, I have eaten my fill and will go take a rest now.”

Before leaving, Thousand Faces also pulled up the foolish Wen Shi.

Fang Xiaocao nodded and hummed in response.

“Wen Shi will sleep with me tonight; just bring her to my tent.”

Fang Xiaocao added.

“Of course, Princess Your Highness!”

Thousand Faces obediently replied.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yishou also took some dried meat and a pack of compressed biscuits, then spoke up, “Princess Your Highness, I will also go to rest.”

“Go ahead, but remember not to wander around, so you won’t get accidentally injured by them,”

Fang Xiaocao casually advised.

Liu Yishou nodded, “Noted.”

As Liu Yishou walked into the tent, Fang Xiaocao glanced sideways at Taotie, “Don’t sleep too deeply, stay alert. I fear there might be trouble.”

Taotie was stunned for a moment, then smiled, “Rest easy, Princess Your Highness, nothing will happen with me here.”

Saying this, Taotie stood up.

He went to the pickup truck, took out two long knives from the hidden compartment under the rear seat, discarded his own blade that was notched, and equipped the new knives.

“Princess Your Highness, I’m going to sleep with my old man now, you should rest early too,”

Taotie shouted after equipping himself.

Fang Xiaocao glared at Taotie, “Get lost!”

Taotie chuckled with a “heh heh” and, leading Jiang Ziyao, sprinted off.

Fang Xiaocao poured the half bowl of meat soup she had into Unhappy’s bowl and gave Brainless a piece of dried meat before standing up to extinguish the fire in the stove and putting away the food in her own tent.

Seeing Wen Shi obediently tucked into the sleeping bag, Fang Xiaocao gave a slight smile, turned, and exited the tent to approach Brainless and Unhappy.

Fang Xiaocao whispered a few words into the ears of Brainless and Unhappy before turning and returning to her tent.

After finishing the food in their hands, Brainless and Unhappy separated, one on each side; Unhappy crawled into the bed of the pickup truck at the camp’s entrance, while Brainless leaped onto the top of Fang Xiaocao’s tent.

—

Time trickled by, second by second.

It was already afternoon in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly!

Ssshhh…

A sound of sliding sand came from outside the camp.

Unhappy, lying in the bed of the pickup truck, quietly opened one eye.

Ssshhh…

The sound of sand sliding grew louder and louder.

Unhappy opened both eyes.

Stealthily, he adjusted his position.

He peeked out half his head from the truck bed to steal a look outside.

Stare–

A mound of yellow sand rose up like it grew legs, relentlessly heading toward the camp.

Unhappy licked his lips.

He seemed to remember that, back when he was human, he had once eaten a delicacy called “baozi”?

This was a meat bun on the run.

Gulp–

Unhappy swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

His eyes shone brightly as he watched the mound.

Next second!

Whoosh–

Unhappy leaped into the air, sprang out of the pickup truck bed, and pounced toward the mound.

The mound, which had been moving swiftly through the sand, seemed to sense Unhappy’s motion and stopped suddenly, playing dead on the spot.

Unhappy didn’t care whether it moved or not.

Even if it’s dead, it has to go down the hatch first.

He pressed down with the force of Mount Tai straight toward the slightly raised mound on the sand.

“Click-click!”

A dull, strange sound came from beneath the sand.

Next second!

The sandy mound split open.

A tail with a hooked end pierced through the ground, soaring into the sky, lashing out at Unhappy with a whistling force like a whip.

Unhappy, who was daydreaming of eating meat in midair, was so scared by this sudden turn of events that his fur puffed up.

He performed a spectacular somersault, caught the clearly segmented tail, executed a pole-dancing move of extreme difficulty right there, landed firmly, hoisted the tail onto his shoulder, and delivered a powerful overhead throw.

Following Unhappy’s savage move, a prehistoric Giant Scorpion the size of a bouncing rabbit was forcefully yanked out of the sand by brute strength.

Like pulling up a radish!

Splash–

The Giant Scorpion crashed onto the top of the pickup truck, shattering the windshield immediately, and even more of the sheet metal on the roof buckled under.

The colossal noise instantly woke Taotie from his sleep; Taotie reacted on the spot, without even putting on his pants, grabbed two long knives, and dashed out of the tent like a whirlwind.

“Who’s the thief here? Watch me chop you up and feed you to my father-in-law!”

Taotie’s roar was like a clap of thunder.

Next second!

Upon seeing the shivering Giant Scorpion and Unhappy, Taotie screamed, “Holy crap, that’s huge!”

“I’m outta here first!”

Before he finished speaking, Taotie turned and rushed back into the tent even faster.

Ten seconds later!

The tent flap opened again, and Taotie ran out with two knives in his mouth, his pants dangling.

“Pah…”

Taotie spat the knives out of his mouth.

“Unhappy don’t be scared, I’ll gear up and then help you conquer this demon!”

Taotie’s raspy voice thundered as if roaring thunder exploded next to one’s ear; Fang Xiaocao, who had been fast asleep, was instantly startled awake, her eyes snapping open with a “swish.”

Blurry shapes wavered in her vision; her heart skipped a beat, and with instinct, she rolled to one side while still ensconced in her sleeping bag.

This roll sobered Fang Xiaocao up.

She quickly pulled her hands out of the sleeping bag, at the same time turning to look at the shadowy figure.

Upon seeing, Fang Xiaocao received a shock.

She saw Wen Shi, his eyes devoid of light, moving toward her step by step while holding a sharp knife, as if sleepwalking.

Judging the distance between Wen Shi and herself, Fang Xiaocao quickly rolled several times on the ground, creating distance between them, and scrambled out of the sleeping bag in a panic, like a caterpillar.

By the time Wen Shi approached with his knife raised, Fang Xiaocao’s legs were still bound inside the sleeping bag…
