Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 824

Chapter 824: Chapter 824: The Voices in the Darkness

Yue Yue was completely stunned.

She quietly peeked through the torn hole in the cloth bag hanging from the old man’s shoulder, her little heart hammering against her ribs.

At first, she had thought the place was only an ordinary cave. But the moment she saw the ground, her little body stiffened into stone.

There were skulls.

Several strange-looking skulls were scattered across the rocky floor. Some were small, looking like tiny animal heads, while some were much larger.

A few didn’t even look like the skulls of any beasts she had ever seen in Dragon Beast City.

Yue Yue’s little face immediately turned pale as snow. She quickly pulled her head back into the safety of the dark bag, squeezing her eyes shut. She didn’t want to look anymore.

The old man continued walking deeper into the mountain. The farther they went, the darker and colder it became.

Soon, Yue Yue could barely see anything through the torn hole, and then even that faint sliver of light vanished entirely.

She was swallowed by complete blackness. She could only hear.

Scratch... Scratch...

The old man’s bare feet dragged softly against the cold stone floor. He was walking barefoot. His footsteps were light, but inside the enormous cavern, every tiny sound was strangely amplified.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Each slow footstep made Yue Yue’s heart beat faster. She curled herself into a tight, trembling little ball at the bottom of the bag.

She still couldn’t understand how this had happened. She had only been taking a nap! She had been sleeping so peacefully besides Lulu in the sunny garden, feeling warm and safe.

Then she had opened her eyes... and she was already trapped inside this dark cloth bag.

She hadn’t seen anyone take her. She hadn’t heard a single sound. She hadn’t even had the chance to fight back or cry for help.

Yue Yue’s little body trembled violently.

Would her mother find her? Would her Beast Fathers find her? Would they even know where she had gone?

She had already been inside this bag for so long... Surely she was very far from home by now.

Her stomach suddenly growled loudly in the dark silence.

Grrrr...

Yue Yue pressed her tiny head against her tummy. She was so hungry that she felt lightheaded, like she might faint. A sudden, regretful thought entered her mind.

Maybe... maybe she should have eaten that piece of meat earlier. Even if it had been cold and dirty. Even if it had been covered in mud. At least her tummy wouldn’t feel this painfully empty now.

Her stomach growled again, louder this time. Yue Yue swallowed nervously.

But another stubborn thought immediately pushed its way through. No! She would rather starve than eat something that had been thrown onto the filthy ground! She simply couldn’t stomach it!

She squeezed her eyes shut tightly, tears brimming in her gemstone blue eyes.

"Mother..." Her tiny voice was so quiet it was almost impossible to hear. "I want to go home..."

But no one answered. Only the old man’s rhythmic footsteps continued echoing through the vast darkness.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Yue Yue grew more and more frightened. She didn’t know where she was going, she didn’t know what this place was, and she didn’t know what that creepy old man wanted from her.
