CHAPTER 546 TRACK DOWN

“What happened?”

Everyone gathered around immediately.

What they saw next left them astounded.

On top the sand dune laid two corpses.

Under the moonlight, they could clearly see that the two corpses were completely mummified. Their

bodies had dried-up, as if all the liquid inside had been sucked out.

“It’s Ming and Yuan!” someone wailed upon recognizing their shirts.

“How did this happen? It has only been half an hour’s time!” Although Professor Yang was a seasoned

man, he was in disbelief and felt numb all over.

“It’s Grandmother Goat. S-She came!” Mr. Pang gulped nervously and spoke in great horror.

Everyone became even more frightened and huddled together.

“Qin Ya, come to my side. I have a gun,” Li Wanhao said in fear.

Meanwhile, Mr. Pang had kneeled on the ground and started to pray.

Many of them also followed Mr. Pang and prayed along.

“Grandmother Goat, we’re just passing by. We don’t mean any harm, so please have mercy!” they

murmured their prayers.

At this moment, Chen Hao approached slowly and went to inspect the two corpses. “It was not

Grandmother Goat. It was just a beast!”

“N-Nonsense! You are ignorant and pompous. Beware of being killed first by Grandmother Goat!” Mr.

Pang thought Chen Hao’s remark was disrespectful. Out of fear, he reprimanded him.

“Beware of being killed first by Grandmother Goat!” suddenly, a faint voice came howling along with the

sand and wind.

“Beware of being killed first by Grandmother Goat!” this voice echoed repeatedly.

It sounded like a child, causing the atmosphere to be exceptionally creepy under the night sky.

Professor Yang and the rest held their breath.

At this moment, everyone averted their gazes behind Chen Hao.

“Sir, be careful behind you!” Qin Ya and Shen Mengxue stood up and shouted at the same time.

Their voices were filled with great terror.

However, Chen Hao had noticed her from the start.

At this moment, he looked in that direction with a frosty gaze.

A creature with beaming green eyes and messy hair crawled out slowly from the other dune.

She had a body similar to that of a human. At first glance, she looked like a human. However, her

tongue was dragging on the ground and there were innumerous barbs on it.

She was mimicking their words while crawling toward Chen Hao.

“Grandmother Goat!!” Mr. Pang was frightened once again. He quickly kneeled down and kowtowed

repeatedly.

“I’ve been searching for you all day and night. Finally, you showed yourself!” Chen Hao said coldly.

With Chen Hao’s speed, he would have certainly surpassed the middle region of the desert by now.

However, he noticed the presence of this beast not long after he entered the desert.

If it was in the past, Chen Hao would have chosen to avoid it and continue his journey.

But it was different this time because Qin Ya was behind him.

This beast would often attack tourists and ordinary beings would not be able to fight against it.

Due to the concern for Qin Ya’s safety, Chen Hao came back for her.

Obviously, this beast was excited when it saw Chen Hao as its eyes became intense and it was Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

drooling green liquid.

“All of you should go first. I will handle it!” Chen Hao turned back to instruct Professor Yang and the

rest.

Upon hearing his instruction, they nodded willingly.

“It’s just a beast anyway. What do I need to be afraid of? Qin Ya, don’t worry. I will protect you! See how

I will kill it with my gun!”

Then, Li Wanhao scooped out a gun from his pocket and pulled the trigger, shooting directly at the

creature.

Of course, Li Wanhao would definitely not allow his rival to steal the limelight.

To his dismay, the creature was completely unscathed even after being shot.

Its skin was extraordinarily tough.

“What?” Li Wanhao was stunned.

Screech!

At this moment, the creature was infuriated and pounced onto Li Wanhao in a flash.

It grabbed Li Wanhao’s collar and hurled him up into the air.

When Li Wanhao brutally landed on the dunes, he tasted a rusty substance in his throat and blood

spurted out of his mouth.

“What a strong creature!”

Professor Yang’s face went pale in fear and led the students further away to the back.

The beast’s main target was obviously Chen Hao as it had sensed that he was a threat.

So, it turned to Chen Hao and pounced on him.

Bang!

With a harsh kick, even with a tough skin and thick flesh, the creature could not withstand Chen Hao’s

semi-Grandmaster’s Inner Energy. It landed on the ground and writhed in agony.

All four of its limbs thrashed on the ground desperately.

“Sir, be careful!” Qin Ya, who did not run off with the others, frantically reminded Chen Hao.

Upon hearing Qin Ya’s voice, the creature turned to stare at her. It then tossed sand at Chen Hao and

leaped toward Qin Ya in a flash.

This beast was obviously intelligent as it knew the tactic of diversion.

Moreover, Chen Hao did not expect that it would attack Qin Ya.

Before Chen Hao could react, it captured Qin Ya and Shen Mengxue.

Swoosh!

Chen Hao quickly took out the Breaching Army.

A black beam flew in the air and hit right onto the creature’s chest, but the creature seemed to be

unharmed and remained active.

Right away, it barged into one of the dunes and disappeared along with Qin Ya and Shen Mengxue.

“Qin Ya!” Chen Hao’s heart sank as he shouted.

However, the beast who could move around under the earth had escaped with the aid of the night's

darkness.

This creature craved blood. If Qin Ya and Shen Mengxue became its prey, they would definitely be

dead soon.

“What should we do? What should we do? Qin Ya and Mengxue were captured!” the members of the

inspection team cried out nervously.

Chen Hao walked to Mr. Pang who was still kowtowing and lifted him off the ground.

“Tell me, do you know where the nest of this beast is? And where does it usually appear?” Chen Hao

asked in a cold voice.

“I-I don’t know. What are you planning to do? It’s you who infuriated Grandmother Goat. Once it’s

angry, it will kill people!” Mr. Pang replied.

“Kill people, huh? Then I might as well kill you too!”

“Young man, hold your horses!” Professor Yang quickly walked over to Chen Hao and advised him.

He then turned to ask Mr. Pang. “Brother, this young man has the ability to kill that creature. You’ve

seen it just now. Besides, it has captured our people. Two human lives are at stake! So please, if you

know where its nest is, tell us now. If we don't get there in time, the two girls will be gone forever!”

Professor Yang said.

“I can tell you. But… Tell him to put me down first!” Mr. Pang looked at Chen Hao whose eyes were

bloodshot and trembled in fear.

Chen Hao furrowed his eyebrows and threw him onto the ground.

As Mr. Pang tidied his own clothes, he answered, “What I heard from others is that we should never go

to the well at the Ten Thousand Sand Dunes Ridge when we enter the desert. It’s a restricted area.

Whoever goes there will be captured and eaten by Grandmother Goat! So, that place might be the nest

of Grandmother Goat. However, no one knows where the Ten Thousand Sand Dunes Ridge is and no

one has ever seen it alive!”

“Ten Thousand Sand Dunes Ridge?” Chen Hao mumbled.

He then looked at his watch and gazed at the Big Dipper in the night sky.

“I know where it is!”

After that, Chen Hao ran toward a direction.

The location of Ten Thousand Sand Dunes Ridge was marked on the map that was given to him by a

mysterious man.

Hence, it was easy for Chen Hao to locate the place by following the map.

“Sir, wait for us!”

The tourists were afraid to be left in this place and they only felt secured when they were beside this

person.

Therefore, all of them ran after Chen Hao…
