It is said that there once was a civilization in Lop Nur called Loulan.

Could this be the ruins of Loulan?

I stretched out my fingers and counted these stone pillars from left to right.

"one two three……"

Counting to ten, there are ten pillars in total.

I remembered what the owner of the small shop once said: '...You enter Lop Nur with this box, put it on the third stone pillar, leave within a quarter of an hour, and don't look back.'

I seemed to have arrived at the stone pillar he was talking about. However, the black suitcase was not in my hand. It was taken away by Wang Liqing.

Moreover, the old man only mentioned the third stone pillar, but did not say whether the stone pillar had other features.

These stone pillars are arranged in a circle. You can start counting from any pillar, and each one may be the third stone pillar.

I'm thinking about the stone pillar.

Suddenly I heard someone calling me.

"Crazy kid!"

I lowered my head and couldn't help but feel a little joy in my eyebrows.

A monster that looked like a leopard but not a leopard, with black fur all over its body, a long nose and fangs, stood upright and screamed in a low voice.

It’s the dream-eating tapir!

This guy hasn't appeared for a long time!

I thought it ran away!

"You guy, where have you been?!"

I didn't have time to care about what it called me, so I grabbed its nose with both hands and asked.

The dream-eating tapir laughed: "I knew you wouldn't die so easily, causing harm to the world for thousands of years! Hahaha!"

It wanted to avoid my hand, but it was not as fast as me. I grabbed its nose firmly and pinched it twice.

The dream-eating tapir's eyes rolled around, and he waved his hoof impatiently, trying to wave my palm away.

When its hoof hit my arm, the muscles on my arm automatically bulged and pushed its hoof away.

The dream-eating tapir's little eyes widened and its long nose was stiff and motionless.

"Damn it! What's wrong with you? I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you like this..."

It looked me up and down, then suddenly its expression changed. It jumped onto me with its hands and feet and put its ears close to my heart.

"I'll go! Zhao Rui, why did you become a living dead? You were not fully resurrected?! Could it be that you miss me too much, you are lonely and cold, and you hurt yourself?!

Hey, I know I'm handsome, but I can't respond to you. Cross-species feelings will have no results? Didn't you learn about reproductive isolation in high school..."

Listening to its harsh words, my hands felt itchy.

But considering that I haven’t seen it for a long time, it’s pretty good that it didn’t abandon me, so I restrained myself.

The dream-eating tapir flicked its long nose wildly, stared at me again and again, and kept chattering: "Soul Nail? Who made it for you? This thing is not easy to handle, and the price to pay is not small."

"cost?"

Dream-Eating Tapir nodded, his little eyes flashing with gossip: "My enemy, do you know how the Soul Nail is made?"

I rubbed my fingers and felt that my palms were more itchy than before.

"have no idea……"

A bit of contempt flashed in the eyes of Dream Eater Tapir, he shook his head and said tut: "I said you are a brat, but you still don't admit that you don't know such simple common sense. Tsk tsk, you are really young and ignorant! You miss me so much.

Mythical beast, I have eaten more salt than you have walked on. You can call me grandpa even if you call me grandpa..."

I immediately grinned, showing two rows of neat, white teeth.

The dream-eating tapir knew something was wrong when it saw this, so it turned around and ran back. Its body twisted like an extremely huge rat.

If you can't bear it anymore, you don't need to bear it anymore!

I thought I'd be tolerant of it since we haven't seen it for a long time, but I didn't expect it to dare to bite me on the nose!

I stretched my hands forward, my arms suddenly lengthened, and my right hand was like an eagle's claw. I easily grabbed the back of the dream-eating tapir's neck, lifted it up, and pulled it back in front of me.

The dream-eating tapir was so shocked that it stopped breathing. It kept staring at my arm with a look of surprise on its face.

"Zhao Rui, what are you..."

I didn't wait for it to finish speaking, raised my left hand, and slapped it in the face.

"Pah!" crisply.

"Zhao Rui! What's your situation?"

"Bah!" loud.

"Zhao..."

"Tell me clearly, who is grandpa?" My voice was cold, my movements were crisp, my strength was great, and I showed no mercy.

"Moo——! Zhao Rui, you damn...Moo——!!!"

My smile became brighter and brighter, and I kept moving my hands.

The cry of the dream-eating tapir changed its tone, from a rough sound to a clipped sound, and the sound of 'moo' was heard endlessly.

"You are grandpa, you are! Stop fighting - I am wrong, isn't it okay?"

I narrowed my eyes: "I? Who are you?"

"..."

The Dream-Eating Tapir gritted its teeth, and then they were loosened by my slap, and its whole body froze.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I haven't become a father yet..."

Its eyes were red, and its small bean-like eyes were full of tears. It grinned in pain, its fangs stood up, its long nose kept trembling, and it rubbed my shoulder flatteringly.

Seeing its pitiful appearance, I mercifully let it go.

The dream-eating tapir shivered and collapsed on the ground, like a ball of rolled-out blanket.

It held its own cheek and twitched, so pitiful.

"Okay, stop pretending, you are so shameless, your hand hurts when I hit you, you shouldn't feel so uncomfortable..."

The dream-eating tapir jumped up suddenly when he heard this, and shouted angrily: "Zhao Rui! You have no conscience! I... Ahem, I worked hard to follow you all the way, and I devoted myself wholeheartedly to you, and I still risked it

Risking his life, he follows Wang Liqing and waits for an opportunity to avenge you.

As a result, it's not bad for you. You were saved by a capable person, and your body also changed. When you become more powerful, you will know how to bully me!

If you have the ability, why don't you go find Wang Liqing and have a try with the Black Goat?

"Old, don't I just want to eat? Is it easy for me?"

At the end, the dream-eating tapir cried out in grievance, "Moo!" The sound made people have a splitting headache, comparable to the howling of ghosts and wolves.

I said in a deep voice: "Shut up!"

As a result, the dream-eating tapir cried louder, but it couldn't shed a single tear, and its little eyes were still hiding in the gaps between its hooves and peeking at me.

I was dumbfounded by it.

"Okay, let's get this over with. First tell me about the soul nail, and then tell me about Bai Luoxin and Zhang Geng..."

The dream-eating tapir turned around, stood up, clasped its front hooves on its chest, and said angrily: "You actually want me to teach you and solve your doubts, don't even think about it! Unless you control my voice

A teacher or a big brother can do it...ah, yes, you have to apologize to me..."

I chuckled: "Okay."
