Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend-Chapter 793 - 660: The Brave Little Ones

The scorching sun was high in the sky, and the little fellows had regained some strength.

Just then, the Four Directions Token, like the day before, emitted a sound, announcing the new day’s Sifang Ranking.

Long Baobao and the others listened very attentively.

Hearing that Long Sixuan was still in first place, Long Baobao’s little face turned red with frustration.

He must not let his unscrupulous uncle snatch the first place.

They carefully listened to the remaining names, but to the dismay of the little fellows, they could not hear any news about their leader’s group.

"I wonder how the boss and her group are doing now?"

Initially, when entering the rapids, Little Zhiyo could still maintain simple Divine Sense communication with Ye Lingyue, but after crossing the rapids, Little Zhiyo tried to contact Ye Lingyue again yet got no response.

It seems that in the Rift Valley Sand River region, someone has set up specific Prohibitions, which obstructed their Divine Sense communication.

Little Wuya was worried that the boss and her group hadn’t made it into the top fifty, probably because they hadn’t passed through this area yet or were delayed by someone along the way.

"There’s nothing to worry about, Sister Yue is very capable," Long Baobao had an almost worshipful trust in Ye Lingyue.

"Zhiyo (Of course, who else could our boss be?)" Little Zhiyo thought the same.

"That’s true, the boss has so many powerful treasures on her, she must be fine. Should we also take some action now? We should have lost the Four-direction Boat that was following us all along."

Little Wuya and Little Zhiyo both had a strong competitive spirit.

Little Wuya, acting solo, could better display the aura of the Divine Bird Phoenix Clan. Apart from their own boss, she didn’t pay much attention to other competitors.

The reason they chose to stop at this spot in the River Valley to rest was largely because Little Zhiyo had detected some traces of beasts along the way.

Looking at the traces left behind, it must have been a Fierce Beast larger than the Cannibal Sand Sharks, and their habitat was this very River Valley.

The little heads gathered together and discussed. The two and the beast finally agreed unanimously to secretly enter the River Valley and observe for a while first.

The Phoenix Feather Boat slowly entered the River Valley.

"Look, there are dryland reed clusters ahead!" Little Wuya was overjoyed.

Dryland reeds are a type of reed that grows in the desert, different from those in wetlands, dryland reeds consist only of a bare pole, and the normally lush leaves have evolved into thorns.

Moreover, because of the growth of the reeds, the flow of quicksand here was relatively slow, as long as they were careful where they stepped, they could disembark and make a short stop on it.

The appearance of dryland reeds meant that there must be Fierce Beasts in this area.

Long Baobao and Little Wuya immediately disembarked, hid the Phoenix Feather Boat well, and, concealed behind the dryland reeds, held their breath and moved forward.

Ahead, several sand dunes appeared. Beneath the sand dunes, there was a deep cave.

The entrance of the cave was long, with no visible bottom.

Several glossy-furred, weasel-shaped Fierce Beasts were lurking near the cave.

Adult weasel-shaped Fierce Beasts were about half the size of Long Baobao, two to three times the size of Little Zhiyo.

"It’s the Lightning Mink, and it looks like there are quite a few nearby, at least twenty or thirty. These beasts are most formidable for their speed and their teeth and claws," whispered Little Wuya.

Along their journey, Long Baobao and the others also noticed that the Fierce Beasts in the downstream area of the Rift Valley Sand River were relatively weaker, but compared to other river sections, their numbers were undoubtedly the highest.

Once they are attacked by a group, the danger is no less than the fierce beasts in the middle of the sand river.

Thus, to kill such Lightning Minks, at most only two or three can be handled at once, and a way must be found to lure the Lightning Minks away first.

In terms of speed, neither he nor Little Wuya in human form are a match for those Lightning Minks.

At this moment, Little Zhiyo arrogantly shook its tail, indicating it was confident it could lure away the Lightning Minks.

Long Baobao and Little Wuya could only trust and let Little Zhiyo out first.

Those Lightning Minks were fortifying their burrow, occasionally carrying some sand back.

During the moment they turned away, Little Zhiyo nimbly emerged from the dry reeds.

Its speed was indeed very fast, and with its small body, it dashed into a mink hole that was too small for any ordinary person to crawl into.

The burrow was winding and rugged, and Little Zhiyo almost slid its way inside.

After a full quarter of an hour, Little Zhiyo’s short legs kicked and finally touched the bottom of the burrow.

At the very bottom of the burrow, Little Zhiyo found a nest of young Lightning Minks, their fur not yet fully grown, all half-closed eyes, clearly born only a few days ago, each very small, like little potatoes, huddled in a dry grass nest encircled by reed poles, about seven or eight in total.

Among them, five or six were white, but one had black fur and looked the weakest.

The mother weasel was out foraging and building the nest, now was a great opportunity.

Little Zhiyo’s blue eyes spun around.

It simply topped its head with the entire grass nest, like a straw hat, and dashed out of the burrow.

Long Baobao and Little Wuya were still anxiously waiting for Little Zhiyo to come out.

Little Zhiyo ran out, and at that moment, suddenly several more Lightning Minks emerged.

Seeing their young being stolen by a strange Spiritual Beast, they immediately started squeaking in anger.

The killing intent flashed in their eyes like black beans as four or five Lightning Minks surged up like lightning bolts trying to block Little Zhiyo.

But these fierce beasts could not match the incredibly fast Little Zhiyo.

Little Zhiyo didn’t force a confrontation, instead, it leaped in the opposite direction from where Long Baobao and Little Wuya were hiding.

The Lightning Minks were extremely angry, letting out a series of piercing cries.

In an instant, nearby Lightning Minks had heard them and scrambled out from every corner, amounting to more than a dozen.

All of them had their fur bristled with rage, following the direction Little Zhiyo fled in pursuit.

Soon, the area beside the mink hole was almost empty.

Only two or three Lightning Minks stayed behind to guard their burrow.

Seeing that Little Zhiyo had successfully lured away most of the Lightning Minks, Little Wuya and Long Baobao were spirited, knowing the timing was right.

The two leapt out from the sand dune.

Sensing someone’s presence, the three Lightning Minks roared.

"Young Master Long, leave those two Lightning Minks to me," Little Wuya confidently said, her petite figure like a ghost, suddenly landing in front of the two Lightning Minks.

Renownedly, on Little Wuya’s delicate left and right hands, a blue and a red aura instantly condensed.
