Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 464

Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Xiao Yi vs The ’Ghost’

The scenery had changed.

After crossing the previous stretch of land, they had entered a completely different area; it was sand, endless sand stretching as far as the eye could see.

The ground beneath their feet was dry and loose, shifting slightly with every step, while the air felt hotter and heavier, the wind carrying fine grains that brushed against their skin.

There was barely any vegetation in sight, making the entire place look like a vast, desolate desert.

Su Qinglan narrowed her eyes slightly as she observed her surroundings; she had heard about this place before...a land where exiled beastmen and criminals wander, who are dangerous and unpredictable beings who survive by any means necessary.

Because of that, everyone remained alert, their senses sharp and their guard raised. But strangely... nothing happened. No one approached them. Not a single figure dared to come close, even though they were clearly carrying supplies...things that would tempt anyone in such a barren land.

Still, no one came. The reason was simple: Xuan Long. He walked among them, his presence calm yet overwhelmingly oppressive, the aura he carried enough to suppress any ill intentions from afar.

Those hiding beneath the sand or watching from a distance didn’t dare to move, didn’t dare to reveal themselves.

And so, the journey remained peaceful...until suddenly, "Lan Lan..." Su Qinglan froze, her body halting abruptly as her brows furrowed slightly.

Su Qinglan: "...?"

She turned her head, scanning her surroundings. Did someone just call her? The voice had been faint, almost carried away by the wind, but unmistakably it was familiar.

Her gaze swept left, then right, then behind her, but there was nothing...just endless sand.

"...Strange..." she murmured under her breath.

Then her gaze dropped, and she saw it...a hand, sticking out of the sand.

Su Qinglan: "...?" "What the hell?"

Xuan Long, who stood beside her, also stopped, his eyes narrowing slightly as they locked onto the same sight.

Su Qinglan’s expression turned serious. Someone was buried there, and more importantly, that faint, familiar energy... she recognized it.

Without hesitation, she lightly patted Han Jue. "Go there." The moment they got close, she immediately jumped down and crouched in front of the hand.

"...Who would be buried like this?" Before she could make a move, "Growl?! (Mother?!)" "Growl!! (What is that?!)"

The two tiger cubs noticed her stopping, and without thinking, they leaped off Hu Yan’s back and ran toward her excitedly.

"Wait..." The moment Xiao Yi’s paw touched the sand.

Thud!

He accidentally nudged the hand. And then the hand moved. It shot up slightly and grabbed his paw tightly.

Xiao Yi: "..."

Silence hung in the air for a single second before.

"GRAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Xiao Yi exploded, his fur standing on end instantly as his entire body trembled like a leaf in a storm.

"IT GRABBED ME!!! IT GRABBED ME!!!"

"LET GO...!! LET GO OF ME!!" He began jumping in place, his tiny body shaking violently as he tried to pull his paw back, but the hand didn’t move and held even tighter.

"I’M TOO YOUNG..!! I DON’T WANT TO DIE !!"

Tears flooded his eyes instantly, snot following right after as panic completely took over him.

"I’M NOT TASTY !! I ONLY LOOK CHUBBY !!" his growl in his tiger language, "I’M ACTUALLY VERY SKINNY !! VERY VERY SKINNY !!"
