Chapter 607: The Place to Sleep

Tuan Tuan saw everyone with worried faces, very strange: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"That's right, you were absolutely correct," Xiao Ningxun said, "First, quickly let Xiao Dandan put your second uncle down."

"Oh, right," Tuan Tuan shouted hurriedly, "Xiao Dandan, let go! Gently!"

Xiao Dandan nodded and carefully placed Xiao Er back on the ground.

Xiao Er straightened his clothes, just as he was about to bend down and pick up Tuan Tuan, a large hand suddenly reached out from beside him and lifted Tuan Tuan.

Tuan Tuan was startled and turned to ask, "Xiao Dandan! I didn't intend to come up!"

But they saw Xiao Dandan with an excited face, cradling Tuan Tuan and striding confidently toward the canyon.

Everyone wore shocked expressions; ever since Xiao Dandan appeared, he had always been very obedient—what's happening now?

Tuan Tuan shouted, "Hey! Xiao Dandan, stop! What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Dandan halted, raised his other large hand, pointed toward the far end of the canyon, and emitted a long low-pitched "ying‑ying" sound.

His expression was excited, and his call was especially rapid.

Tuan Tuan stared at Xiao Dandan's big face, thought for a moment, and her eyes suddenly brightened: "Xiao Dandan, you've arrived home, right?"

Seeing Xiao Dandan looking bewildered, they hurriedly clasped both small hands, tilted their head and placed them on the hands,

closed their eyes and made a sleeping pose.

"Home! The place to sleep! Right?"

Xiao Dandan understood and kept nodding.

Tuan Tuan was overjoyed, perched on Xiao Dandan's hand and shouted to the crowd below: "Xiao Dandan is home! Over there is his home!"

The crowd suddenly understood.

Xiao Ningyuan looked at Kang An and said, "Your clan members are actually neighbors with Xiao Dandan?"

Kang An: "…"

"How would I know!"

Xiao Ningxun shouted at Tuan Tuan, "Tuan Tuan, have Xiao Dandan also lift Kang An! Let him walk slower, we'll follow him and cross the canyon together!"

"Okay!" Tuan Tuan pointed at Kang An, then at his other hand, "Xiao Dandan, him, also come up!"

Xiao Dandan understood, extended his other large hand, and also lifted Kang An.

Tuan Tuan patted Xiao Dandan's long fur, extended two small fingers onto his hand, and made a slow‑walking gesture: "Xiao Dandan, walk more slowly!"

Then, they also pointed at the people below: "They, follow you."

Xiao Dandan nodded, steadied both small ones in his hands, took a gentle step, and walked into the canyon.

As soon as they entered the canyon, the light suddenly dimmed; massive wind‑sculpted rock formations rose on both sides, with towering boulders blocking the sky.

The surroundings suddenly cooled, almost unlike the world just moments ago.

The canyon was winding and narrow, with several side paths, yet Xiao Dandan steadfastly marched forward in one direction.

Xiao Ningyuan was a bit worried: "We're looking for Kang An's clan members; could Xiao Dandan's route lead us into Sharden's nest?"

Thinking of countless giants standing together, his foot stumbled.

Xiao Ningxun hurriedly reached out to steady him: "Brother, at least Xiao Dandan won't harm us; let's get out of the canyon first."

Xiao Ningyuan nodded.

The party followed Xiao Dandan and safely crossed the canyon.

Tuan Tuan shouted: "Xiao Dandan! Stop!"

Xiao Dandan obediently stopped.

The scene before them left everyone stunned.

In front of them were all side paths!

There were more than ten, spreading like a fan; unbelievably, every intersection was identical.

The entrances were clear, but dozens of steps away they were shrouded in white mist, extremely eerie.

Xiao Ningyuan pointed at those intersections: "This, this, this, how do we find the way?"

Xiao Ningxun looked up: "Tuan Tuan, Kang An! Look far away, can you see anything?"

Tuan Tuan and Kang An strained their eyes into the distance: "We can't see anything!"

Xiao Ningxun's heart sank; with so many side paths, it was clearly a Lost Soul Formation—if we take the wrong one, we might truly never return.

Xiao Erdao said, "Since we're here, let's settle down; since Xiao Dandan knows the way home, we might as well follow him first, at least nothing unexpected will happen."

Xiao Ningxun nodded: "It can only be that way."

Xiao Ningyuan's face fell: "Ah, we really have to enter the giants' nest?"

The group all glanced at him.

"Fine," Xiao Ningyuan said helplessly, "Then let's go."

He raised his head and shouted, "Tuan Tuan, tell Xiao Dandan we are following him, first back to his home!"

Tuan Tuan patted Xiao Dandan's long fur: "Xiao Dandan, home!"

Xiao Dandan nodded vigorously and stepped into one of the side paths.

The crowd hurriedly followed, entering the white, endless mist.

Kang An looked nervously ahead, "Is my home here?"

"Father makes a living by blacksmithing, what about them? What will we eat and use here?"

After a few incense sticks' time.

Suddenly, a huge roar rang out, "Aooo—", echoing beside their ears.

Everyone was startled.

Immediately, the same roar sounded from all directions.

Tuan Tuan covered his little ears and shouted loudly: "Speak softly——!"

Little Egg hurriedly looked up to the sky and let out a long cry: "Wuu——"

The surroundings suddenly fell silent.

Everyone drew close, backs together forming a circle, and looked warily in all directions.

Soon, countless huge figures appeared in the white mist.

Xiao Ningyuan's face turned pale: "Good heavens! Little Egg is home, can we still go back?"

Everyone: "……"

Tuan Tuan, however, got excited: "Little Egg, you're home, right? Are they all your family?"

Little Egg kept whimpering nonstop, as if speaking to those looming giants.

Moments later, those figures gradually approached and stood before everyone.

Dozens of giants stood all around; the usually composed Xiao Ningxun looked up at them, unable to keep his heart from pounding.

Tuan Tuan raised a hand and pointed at Kang An: "Little Egg, his home is also here—can you take us there?"

Little Egg froze, obviously not understanding.

Tuan Tuan thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "Xiao An'an, quickly take out your piece of Wu Jin Mud and show it to them!"

"Big brother, didn't you just say that Little Egg and his kind are neighbors of your people?"

Xiao Ningyuan: "……"

Kang An understood: "Exactly!"

He pulled the half-piece of Wu Jin Mud ore from his bosom, placed it in his palm, and extended it toward Little Egg.

The giants suddenly roared in unison.
