Master Meow

Chapter 64:

At this time the giant rock star, the sun has risen slowly.

Just like every day in the past, bright, hot and beautiful.

But for Lu Qiu now, the sunshine that he used to enjoy every day is not at all comfortable.

Although this was the first time she saw the desert, she had already experienced the scorching temperature of the desert.

The sand that had just been tanned for a while had already started to burn, but it was still within a tolerable range.

Lu Qiu looked around blankly, the vast sea of ​​sand, not knowing where to go.

Which way is the way home?

Having been on this planet for a long time, she has only been to the farthest south of Wells Territory, and she has only been to Giant Rock City towards the north.

She has never seen the world map of Giant Rock Star.

I poked hard at the fake terminal on my arm, and there was nothing but the forged basic information inside.

I don’t know if there are north and south poles like the earth, and there is no grass around.

Lu Qiu stared at her shadow, which appeared in front of her right, making sure that it was morning and she should be in the northern hemisphere.

Think of the sight below when the camel first jumped into the spaceship. The desert is too big, but some plants and greenery seem to be seen at the far east.Regardless of whether there is an exit or not, there is hope for survival.

When I was about to walk, I stumbled on something under my feet, and looked down at the plant rhizome that the desert fox threw at her.

The rhizome is like a smaller coconut, with a brown husk and some dried sand.

This is Lu Qiu's only food.

She carefully picked up the rhizome and walked eastward.

The sun will turn, and she must estimate the position not to go off.

the other side.After confirming that a few passengers could be searched, it was discovered that the camel had disembarked from the spaceship ahead of time, and there was nothing unusual in the bags of the other passengers.

They tossed around and found the way to contact the camel.

The camel, who was rushing home, stopped and opened his pet bag with some surprise. The inside is now empty. The desert fox is standing on his back at this moment.

He took a video and sent it to the animal who contacted him.

Wells watched the video that passed, staring at the empty bag, but he didn't have the anger that Ruth imagined. He even showed a small smile.

found it!

The mark on the sand in the corner was about to be covered. It was obvious that an animal had sat there.He was very familiar with the size of this butt print and footprint.

Lu Qiu was definitely in the Giant Rock Star, and even now in the desert.

But Wells' smile disappeared for a moment, and he felt distressed when he thought that Lu Qiu had shrunk in such a narrow and dark corner with fear.

The person who holds it on the cusp of his heart has to suffer such harm.

Ordering the spacecraft to speed up again, he directly opened the communication with Mastiff Eighteen.

"Autumn is in the desert, I need you to help me find her, the sooner the better."

Mastiff Shishiba, who was lying in the nest guarding the mother mastiff, jumped up suddenly: "Hey, why is she in the desert? You didn't come with her, didn't you go to the pet competition?"

"I don't know for a while. This is what she looks like now. Follow this to find. Remember to bring food, water, clothes, and depilatory. I'm heading to Giant Rock Star."

Giant Rock Star is its own territory, and Wells is still a little confident looking for an animal in this place.

Mastiff Eighteen was a little puzzled, but he still patted his chest and said, "Big brother, are you playing a cross-dressing game? Qiuqiu still looks better without hair growth. Don't worry, I'll go and prepare now. Get her back before you arrive."

Wells gave a hum, and then posted a message to all the animals in the territory, looking for an orangutan that strayed into the desert. He did not say this time that the orangutan was Lu Qiu.

He has a good reputation in the territory, and he would always help if an animal called for help before, because there was no animal suspicion. After receiving the order, many fast animals ran into the desert.

At this time, Lu Qiu was still trekking in the desert, not knowing that Wells had already let the animals come to him.

The sand is very fine and soft, and it will sink when you step on it. There seem to be many potholes under the sand, and she has stepped in several on the road.

Fortunately, the potholes weren't too big. She reacted quickly and quickly climbed up with both hands and feet.

After playing in the sand a few times, the hair on his arms and legs was covered with a lot of sand, and now he looked very embarrassed.

The sun is rising higher and higher, the sky is getting hotter and hotter, and the ground is hot.

At this time, Lu Qiu was a little grateful that he had this extra layer of hair on his body. Although it was ugly and very hot, it would not cause pain in his arms and face.

I haven't eaten anything from last night till now. She was a little hungry in the morning. After walking for a while, she is thirsty and hungry now.

Lu Qiu adjusted his direction, found a shady spot and sat on the ground.

I don't know how long it will take to go out. The rhizome in my hand is the only life-saving straw. If I eat it now, there will be nothing to eat in the long road.

After swallowing hard, she still didn't open her mouth, rested for a while and continued on the road.

The two injections of system enhancers greatly improved her physical fitness. If she had just worn it, she would not have the confidence to go out in such an environment.

But now I just feel a little tired.

The sandy ground illuminated by the sun is very dazzling, and after seeing it for a long time, I start to feel dizzy, and my steps are unconsciously crooked.After walking for a while, Lu Qiu looked down at himself, his palm, and the ring on his hand, thinking about how long it would take to go home and see Wells.

Thinking of Wells, she rekindled her fighting spirit.

When I first walked through, all the difficulties have passed, and now I will be fine.

To cheer himself up, Lu Qiu put a smile on his face, wondering if Wells would be shocked if he saw him, would he think she was ugly?What to do if you don't recognize her.

Just when she wanted to get absorbed, the sand she was stepping on suddenly began to sink, and a hole the size of a manhole appeared again.

Lu Qiu squatted on the ground skillfully, and the sinking tendency of his whole body was immediately slowed down.

She arched her arms and climbed forward cautiously, finally leaving the cave.

Sitting on the ground and looking at the hole that suddenly appeared, it was quite deep, and the sand leaked for a long time before it stopped.

This situation was not like a ground sinking, and she didn't know why there were so many holes. She couldn't help but think of the pet fennec fox raised by the camel.That fox will also make holes.

The temperature is too high during the day, and most animals appear at night.There are no signs of animals now, and there is dead silence around.

But the seemingly quiet scene is definitely not peaceful.

Lu Qiu was vaguely worried. Apart from camels, ostriches, wolf snakes, lizards and scorpions in the desert, no matter which one he encountered, there was no good fruit.

After that, she didn't lose her mind and kept staring at her feet intently.If you look closely, you can see that some of the sand is flowing slowly, just like water.

Avoiding the suspicious sand, Lu Qiu walked for a long time before stopping again to rest.

It's too exhausting. I can't hear any sound except the wind. It seems that the loneliness abandoned by the world makes people very uncomfortable.

After wiping the sweat from his forehead, there was nothing to swallow in his throat, it was dry, and the nose and throat all seemed to be burning.

His stomach also began to protest, and Lu Qiu felt that he could no longer eat.

She gritted her teeth, knocked the rhizome on her leg, and opened her hands vigorously.

The brown-black skin was the same color as yam, and a faint plant smell came in. Lu Qiu sniffed it intoxicated, and then gnawed up.

It was a bit crunchy and rusty, not too much water, like raw sweet potatoes, not particularly sweet, but now it is not a picky eater, she ate half of it in one breath.

The rhizomes are not too big and not full.But the remaining half was not willing to eat, she watched for a while and took it back.

The place where Lu Qiu was sitting at this time was a sunken shade, not very big.

After eating, she was about to get up, and found that the place where her foot was touching was not quite right. She raised her foot and saw a short gray-green plant sticking out her head under the sand.

plant?There are plants here!

Originally thought it was a dead desert, Lu Qiu felt so happy when he saw a dwarf plant.

If you dig along the roots of plants, there may be water. Even if there is no water, you can dig out the roots and chew two bites to add water.

Holding the remaining half of the rhizome in her mouth, she directly reached out and dug up the sand.

Even though there is very little part of this seedling exposed outside the sand, it actually grows very tall. I dug it down for almost one meter, and I haven't seen the rhizome yet.

Lu Qiu shook his hand, the sand became stronger as he went down, and he could almost see the soil layer. It was not easy to dig without tools.

It was so easy to see a plant, and she naturally couldn't give up. She continued to squat on the ground and dig.

One meter, one meter two, one meter five.

Because of being too focused, Lu Qiu's fingers were so painful that there was dirt in his nails.I don’t know how long it took, and finally I saw the plant rhizomes. I couldn’t tell what variety it was, but I was sure that the rhizomes were edible.When she found another piece of food, she ate the other half of the rhizome that she was reluctant to eat before.

After eating, take a break and continue to work.

In order to be able to dig to the lower level, Lu Qiu was about to get into the hole.Now she had to find a way to pull this thing out. She tugged tentatively. She thought it would grow very firm, but she shook it.(It's really just a mere squash and it's been reviewed and asked to let it go)

The rhizomes that cover the plants do not seem to grow deep. Generally, the rhizomes of plants that can grow in the desert can reach three meters deep.

But this is just right, she will not starve to death for a while.

In his excitement, Lu Qiu stepped on the sand with his feet holding the plant stalk and pulled it up.

A bit heavy.

Intensified, she almost used the energy of milking, and finally, the rhizome shook greatly.She was quickly uprooted.

But at the same time, at the moment the plant was pulled out, a cave appeared below, and Lu Qiu, along with the sand on both sides, began to sink.

This plant actually grew in a hole, just plugging in the hole, as if it had been used to fill the hole.No wonder the president is not strong at all.

Lu Qiu didn't have time to react this time, and he rolled into the hole with the plant in his arms.

The hole was deep and long, and he didn't know how long he had been rolling. Lu Qiu tried his best to curl himself up into a ball, covering his head with his arms to prevent him from getting hurt.

The hair on her body helped her a second time at this time, saving her from scratches several times.

When she finally stopped, Lu Qiu only felt sore, but the injury was not serious. She opened her eyes and looked around.

It was dark in my eyes, and after a while I could finally see clearly. This is an underground cave with a height of 1.5 meters and a width. Lu Qiu can only walk with his head down. The air is still smooth. Although it is slightly muddy, it is not. feel oppressed.

Obviously this cave is connected.

Looking back at the place where he came in, there was only a piece of sand that had been blocked.

If you want to go out, you can only find another way out.

It is obvious that the two sand sinks encountered previously were formed by this.

I don't know what animal dug it out.

Lu Qiu walked along the cave suspiciously.The plant that caused her to come down was still held firmly in her hand. The root of this plant was like a large sweet potato, long.She broke off the stems hard, leaving only the rhizomes in her arms.

The underground caves are connected with holes, like a large maze, with bifurcations appearing from time to time.

The ground is not as dry as the above, it is even a little wet, and a few small plants can be seen sporadicly growing out.Either it is to use a rhizome full of dense roots to stretch out and plunge into the soil.

Can't feel the direction, Lu Qiu doesn't know where he is now.

She stopped at a fork.

And not long after she fell into the cave, a few birds hovered over the desert, as if looking for something.

These birds are separated from each other by a certain distance, the species are different, but they are very tacitly consistent in keeping the speed.

In addition to them, there are more animals coming to this desert from all directions.

The quiet and unpopular place in the past suddenly became lively.

Lu Qiu closed his eyes and chose a passage at random to continue forward. Something different slowly appeared in the passage, dead wood, and no animal bones.The bones are large, only a small part is exposed, most of which have not been buried in the unexcavated soil.

Lu Qiu didn't get too close to the bones, so he trot over after encountering them.

On the contrary, the dead wood is very interesting, and some green seedlings grow tremblingly on it, plants that grow deep in this dark desert cave.

Lu Qiu couldn't help but took a closer look.

However, as she approached the section of wood, the thick wood suddenly moved, and the seedlings on it also shook.

Then a long brown tail, which was raised high, stretched out from behind the wood. The tail was section by section, and the tip was a sharp pin.

Suddenly, Lu Qiu thought of a familiar animal.

She backed away abruptly, and two seconds later, the owner of the tail stretched out her head with her forelimbs.

This is a scorpion over a meter long.

Lu Qiu turned his head and ran. Scorpion turned around and followed her footsteps and chased him.

This situation is very similar to the situation when I met a centipede on the first night.But there would still be a bird eating centipedes, and now deep in this cave, there are no natural enemies of scorpions.

Lu Qiu secretly sighed that he was too lucky.The hole is not high enough, and it is very inconvenient to run.

The feet were not flat, and a broken bone appeared from time to time, and she almost slipped.

After running for a while, the scorpion was still chasing behind him. Lu Qiu gritted his teeth and picked up the rhizome in his hand, thinking that he couldn't escape, so he tried to fight it.

She plucked up the courage to face it, but she stopped, and Scorpion also stopped.Stopping at a distance of two meters from her, its forelimbs turned to the wall on one side, and then inserted into it. Then Lu Qiu saw that there was an extra 30 cm in the forelimb of the scorpion with wings. Light brown animals with long tentacles.

It's Xilian, which is a cockroach.

The scorpion's tail is lifted high and rolled into an arc, and the tail needle directly penetrates the body of the cockroach.

The cockroaches that were still struggling soon stopped moving.

After grabbing the prey, the cockroach turned directly and left with the prey.

Lu Qiuchang exhaled and sat slumped on the ground.

The underground is still too dangerous, you have to find an exit quickly.

Taking a breath, she got up again. This time she was more careful. She didn't look forward to seeing anything, for fear that there would be another scorpion hiding below.

However, she stepped on a few animal bones, possibly camel or wolf bones. The bones were very hard. She picked up an arm-long leg bone and pinched it in her hand as a crutch and weapon.

With tools, going out can be much easier.

In fact, after traveling in the cave for so long, Lu Qiu completely went in the wrong direction. Not only did he not leave the desert, but he went further and further into the hinterland.

There are underground rivers in the desert and a river in the center of the hinterland. At this time, the river will appear on the ground and form an oasis.

The ground of the underground cave is getting wetter, and even moss and low plants grow in the cave.

Lu Qiu finally saw the sky. There was a long hole here that was not blocked by the fine sand. The light from above fell down, and the two clusters of plants in the hole were very dense.

She bit the rhizome and climbed up the hole with her hands and feet.

The walls are a bit wet and not convenient, but fortunately, she is bigger than the hole, so she managed to climb up.

There was a tree at the exit.

It was noon at this time, and the direct sunlight was so hot that it was sweating.

Lu Qiu's upper body was lying on the entrance of the cave and observing the surroundings. There was an oasis in the front of the cave. This oasis was quite small, just like a basketball court. The water was very clear and it was a beautiful blue color.There are clusters of green grass growing in a circle along the coast, and there are scattered trees that are not tall and lush.

There are no other animals around at this time.There was a layer of shallow footprints on the bank of the river. It should be an animal that came to drink water on weekdays, but there was no animal coming over for a while, and the footprints were slowly covered by sand.

Temporarily safe.

Although he was not hungry after eating a rhizome, the rhizome did not provide much water. Lu Qiu was still very thirsty, and his throat was about to smoke.After looking around, she rubbed her cat against the water's waist. Regardless of whether there were parasites, she poured water into her stomach.

After drinking the water, she had time to take a look at her current image.

Ugly, it's so ugly, it's so ugly that it's unique in the heavens and on the earth, and I want to commit suicide at a glance.

The facial features of the orangutan are different from those of human beings. In order to make her look more like her, her face was covered with something. Now the big forehead and nose collapsed in the human being wide and long, making it a real orangutan.

Barring his teeth, Lu Qiu couldn't bear to look at himself a second time.

Looking at this small oasis, Lu Qiu regretted that he didn't have any tools to hold water. He continued on the road and didn't know when he would meet the water source next time.

Unwillingly, he lowered his head and took two bites again, until his stomach was too strong and he couldn't drink anymore before getting up.

However, as soon as she got up, a wolf suddenly pounced on her from the hillside.

The sand hides the sound of the wolf's footsteps, or the fishy wind reveals its deeds.

Lu Qiu only had time to roll aside.

The wolf turned around and bit her again.

Regardless of how there was a wolf here, Lu Qiu could only keep rolling on the ground, but her rolling speed was not as fast as that of a giant wolf. Her clothes were quickly bitten, and her arm was bitten and bleeding.

Enduring the pain, Lu Qiu tried hard to run to the entrance of the cave that came up, and he was safe as long as he jumped in.

The wolves all live in groups. Since one appears here, it means that there is a group around.Have to run away before they appear.

As she rolled, she lifted up the sand and sprinkled it into the wolf's eyes.

It may have had some effects, and the wolf's attack speed gradually slowed down.

Lu Qiu got up and ran towards the entrance of the cave desperately.The hole that came out is on a higher terrain, and it takes some effort to get down and go up easily, not to mention that there is great resistance to running on the sand.If you accidentally get your feet in, you won't get up fast, and you will run to the place for a while.

The giant wolf recovered quickly and pounced at her again.

Lu Qiu was a little desperate, and went all the way smoothly, why he failed at the last moment.

She can't die here.

There was a sudden burst of strength in the body, and the speed was a little faster, but when she was about to run into the hole under the tree, the giant wolf pushed her to the ground first.

Dewclaws penetrated his back and a sharp pain hit.

The smell of blood drifted away instantly.

The giant wolf was stimulated by the smell of blood, and opened his mouth to bite.

At this moment, Lu Qiu found that he was sinking again.It feels very similar to the feeling of falling into the hole before.

She felt something underneath pull down her clothes, and then grabbed her arm.

That strength is quite strong.

The giant wolf also noticed something was wrong, and his claws tightened suddenly, and Lu Qiu was pulled by two forces, causing severe pain all over his body.Knowing that the power below was saving herself, she desperately pushed her hands and legs down, and her clothes on her back were torn.

With a tear, she fell into the hole smoothly.

The prey disappeared from the mouth, the giant wolf roared angrily, poked its mouth into the hole, and squeezed its body in.

It's just that this hole is too small for other body types, no matter how hard you try, you can't squeeze it in.

The giant wolf raised its head angrily and howled, attracting the nearby wolves, and by the way the circling birds.

They flew to the oasis to take a look, and found that only a few wolves were spinning, and they flew away with no interest.

Lu Qiu fell back into the underground cave with a large amount of sand.

She had to lie down for a long time before she managed to get up, a sharp pain in her back and arms made her frown.

Looking up and looking around, she still remembers the strength that helped her at a critical moment. She didn't see what it was before, got up, pushed aside the sand and walked two steps forward.

This is still the cave that I have walked for a long time before, but it should be another branch.

Just two steps later, I saw a mouse looking at her quietly in front.

There should be gerbils in the desert. This kind of mouse has a super ability to dig holes. If you guess right, most of the caves under this desert should be opened by these gerbils.

This gerbil has a brown-yellow back hair, a soft and pure white belly, small ears, a long slender tail, and a little fat. Its posture is a bit cute. The two front paws are raised and retracted on the chest. The paws contrast with its body shape. It looks very small and looks very cute.

Lu Qiu didn't advance any further, stood a few steps away from it, and said to it, "Is it you just now? Thank you for saving me."

I didn't expect the gerbil to answer, but it nodded and said, "You're welcome. You can lift your claws, these wolves are very fierce. You should be careful when you walk."

The voice is thin, not very standard, but fully understandable.

Lu Qiu's eyes suddenly brightened, he could communicate, this turned out to be an open-minded animal.

"You can talk! Do you know how to get out of here?! I'm lost here."

The gerbil nodded: "I know, how did you get here? It's in the middle of the desert. It takes two or three days to go out. But if you can use the aircraft, you will go out in half a day."

This is simply a surprise from heaven, and Lu Qiu's attitude is respectful: "There is also a flying machine? I don't know how to borrow it? I want to go to the territory of Wells!"

Gerbil looked at her weirdly: "This is Master Wells's territory."

"Huh?" Lu Qiu was stunned.

"This Yaya Desert belongs to Lord Wells. You are already on his land! Where are you going?"

Lu Qiu always thought that Wells's territory was only from the mountains in the north to the grassland in the south, and to the Starfall Forest on the left. Later, the territory expanded, and it only went to the seaside. He didn't expect the desert to be too. The scope was beyond her imagination.

She thought for a while and said: "I'm going to the stone castle next to the grassland, which is Wells, where the adults live."

Gerbil suddenly said, "Is there any difficulty to ask Lord Lord for help? I have never seen him personally, but my good friend Liya has been there. She just came back from the grassland some time ago. She was very injured at the time. Seriously, I almost died. I just met an adult. I was saved by the adult. I also saw the adult’s favorite hairless monkey named Qiu. Do you know who Qiu is?" I don’t know if I haven’t spoken for a long time, Sha The mouse speaks with high interest.

After Lu Qiuzhen for a moment, she met, and of course she did, and she was very familiar.

But the friend who listened to the description of Gerbil still sounded a bit familiar.

"The good friend you are talking about is a long-eared jerbo? Did it hurt his leg?"

"Hey, how do you know that you have also met Leah?" Gerbil asked in shock.

Lu Qiu nodded, "Forget it, she has returned home safely?"

"It’s been a long time since you came back. Now that you know Leah, it’s definitely not a bad beast. I’ll take you to Camel Wind. He has a flying machine to use. It just so happens that he has a happy event today and wants to entertain everyone. Leah is also there, many animals It's all here. I just prepared my gift and I am going to leave. Come with me."

The gerbil turned and walked forward, and Lu Qiu realized that he was carrying a small baggage on his back with a lot of stuff inside.

The gerbil asked as he walked."Does your injury matter? Do you want to deal with it now, but I don't have any medicine here."

The blood on Lu Qiu's back has stopped. Although it still hurts, it is not a major problem. After his physique improves, this injury is nothing.

She shook her head and couldn't wait to go home. The most important thing is to contact Wells when she goes home: "It's no problem, I can follow, let's go."

In order to take care of Lu Qiu, the gerbils did not move very fast.

Turning left and right around the underground cave, Lu Qiu still remembered the direction at first, but later he was completely fainted, it was too big.

They encountered many animals on the road, including gerbils, jerboa, rattlesnakes, and desert foxes.It seems that they are all going to congratulate the camel called Camel Wind.

Lu Qiu asked suspiciously, "What is the happy event for this man named Tuo Feng?"

Gerbil was very talkative and said: "His spouse gave birth to the first child. After waiting for more than a year, it is not easy to finally give birth."

The sense of familiarity surged up again, Lu Qiu said, wouldn't it happen again?

So she asked again: "Did Camel Feng keep a pet, a fox with big ears? He also took this fox to participate in the pet competition, and he just rushed back today."

"Huh, do you meet again?"

Lu Qiu: "..."

More than knowing!

After walking for a long time, when Lu Qiu started to feel tired, the gerbil finally stopped in front of a huge zenith cave. This cave in the desert also made a very intimate staircase.

This seems to be the center of the entire labyrinth, and you can see holes leading to it in all directions.

There is already a lively scene above, and a very noisy howling can be heard.

The gerbil turned his head: "Here." Said it flexibly and climbed up the stairs.

Lu Qiu followed her closely, and soon a huge animal gathering scene appeared in front of her.Almost more than white animals roared and danced wildly.

At the moment Lu Qiu appeared from the cave, a voice pointed at her and asked, "Look, what came out of the cave?"

The dozen or so birds that had been hovering in the sky, including the animals still laughing, suddenly turned their heads together.

The air was quiet for a few seconds, and then the animals erupted in exclamation.

"Ah! It's the orangutan! I found it!! It was here."

"Hurry up and inform the lord! Hurry up!"

"Don't let her run, surround yourself!"

Lu Qiu: "?!"
