Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 827

Chapter 827: Chapter 827: The Flying Ghost

Deep inside the pitch-black cave, time seemed to stand still.

Trapped in the suffocating darkness, Yue Yue remained coiled in a tight, protective ball, burying her small head beneath her own white scales.

Around her, the terrifying wails of the other snake cubs echoed off the cold stone walls. But as the long hours dragged on, the crying slowly began to die down. The frightened cubs grew exhausted, their frantic hisses fading into soft, shaky whimpers.

Suddenly, a tiny flicker of light appeared deep within the cavern.

It wasn’t bright, but in the complete blackness, that small, glowing speck was like a beacon of hope.

None of the cubs wanted to stay in the terrifying dark any longer. One by one, the young snakes uncoiled themselves and began slithering toward the light.

Yue Yue quickly lifted her small head from beneath her scales. Seeing that gentle glow, her little heart leaped. She didn’t want to be left behind in the dark!

She immediately pushed forward, her smooth body gliding across the dusty floor as fast as she could, chasing right behind the group of cubs ahead of her.

"Wait for me!" she hissed softly, her tiny tongue flicking out as she tried her best to keep up with their scrambling tail tips.

The cubs glided frantically toward the light, their scales scraping against the rough stone floor. But just as the lead cubs reached the glowing opening...

RUMBLE!

A terrifying shift shook the very foundation of the mountain!

Before anyone could react, the solid stone floor beneath them suddenly began to shift and slide! It was as if a giant, hidden mechanism inside the mountain had been triggered.

High-pitched shrieks of absolute terror filled the cavern as the ground broke apart into moving stone ramps. The chaotic movement threw all the young snakes in completely different directions!

Yue Yue slid out of control, tumbling tail-over-head down a steep, dark slope. Loose rocks rattled past her, and the frightened cries of the other cubs grew distant as they were swept into separate underground tunnels.

"Mother! Help!" Yue Yue cried out, her world spinning violently until...

THUD!

Her small body bumped hard against a flat rock wall, and she slid to a stop on the dusty ground.

Everything went silent.

The shaking stopped. The roaring stone mechanisms ceased. The heavy dust slowly settled in the air, leaving behind an eerie, heavy quiet.

Yue Yue let out a faint whimper, shaking her tiny white head to clear the dizziness. She slowly lifted herself up, her gemstone blue eyes wide as she looked around.

The other cubs were nowhere to be seen, and their screams had vanished into thin air. But right ahead of her, deep inside the abandoned cavern, that same mysterious glow was softly shining.

"Huh?" Yue Yue whispered into the quiet, her tongue flicking nervously. "Is anyone there?"

Only the faint drip of water answered her.

Drip. Drip.

Yue Yue slithered forward a few inches, her tiny body trembling. The tunnel was vast, ancient, and completely abandoned. There were no other cubs, no bad old men, and no way to tell which path led back to the surface.

She was completely alone in the heart of the mountain, with only the faint, mysterious light to guide her.

Yue Yue swallowed her fear, her tiny gemstone blue eyes fixed firmly on the soft, mysterious glow ahead.

She had no choice. It was either to sit in the pitch-black cavern forever or to follow that light. Gliding quietly across the cold stone floor, her smooth white scales scraped gently against the dust.

Slither... slither...

She crept closer and closer to the light. But just as she reached the wide opening of the ancient, ruined chamber...

FLASH!

A bright, glowing wisp of light suddenly zapped right in front of her snout!

"Eek!" Yue Yue squeezed her eyes shut and frantically shook her small white head back and forth, trying to wipe the scary vision from her mind. It’s not real! It’s not real!

W-What is this thing?! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
