1379 Finding a Needle in the Haystack (1/2)
”Roar! Roar!”
A deafening roar pierced through Ning Yuchen's end of the phone.
Most would not have understood what the beast on the other end was saying, but Chen Xiaobei did.
It said, ”What a lousy toy! It rang so suddenly it nearly scared me to death!”
”Who are you? Why do you have Ning Yuchen's phone?” Chen Xiaobei asked in Zoolingualism.
In Northern Wilderness Starfield, mankind and beasts were mortal enemies. Whenever they would meet, it would be a battle till death.
One could only imagine the terrifying consequences when Ning Yuchen's phone ended up in the hands of a Demonic Beast.
But Chen Xiaobei did not expect the beast to know what a phone is. It had probably accidentally pressed the receive button and did not put the phone next to its ears, thus the reason why it did not hear Chen Xiaobei's question.
To make matters worse, the Demonic Beast was so freaked out by the ringing phone that it fell into a fit.
”Stupid toy! I'm going to stomp you to death!”
Bam!
Chen Xiaobei could hear the phone being hung up.
Clearly, the Demonic Beast had destroyed Ning Yuchen's phone.
”Old Wang! I have to go! You can practice with A.I first, I'll help you with the internet when I come back!” Chen Xiaobei instructed, and then rushed out of the secret space.
Chen Xiaobei then called Liu Chen.
”Zhufeng? Why… Why are you calling?” Liu Chen picked up the phone immediately. She sounded really upset.
Chen Xiaobei could imagine just how distraught and sallow she looked.

”Did something happen to Bro Ning?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
”How did you know that?”
”That's not important! Tell me! What happened? Quickly!” Chen Xiaobei urged.
”Three days ago, our team entered the Zachara Grand Canyon to investigate. The canyon had been pretty quiet for some time. But that very day, we were suddenly attacked by a group of Demonic Beasts!” Liu Chen sounded devastated. ”Captain Ning… He wanted to protect me and Hu Ben, so he used himself as bait to draw the Demonic Beasts away. We have then lost contact with him for three days and three nights. He has not been picking up his phone.”
”Why didn't you tell me earlier?!” Chen Xiaobei nearly yelled into the earpiece.
Three days and three nights!
If Ning Yuchen had fallen into the hands of the Demonic Beasts, there would be nothing left of him by now.
”You are merely a green-horned zero-star Black-steel. What good would it be to tell you? I chose not to tell you as I didn't want another person to suffer.” Liu Chen said.
”Don't assume that zero-star Black-steels are not soldiers too. I am coming now! As long as there's hope, I will find Bro Ning!”
Chen Xiaobei's tone was firm.
”Don't come here! There are Demonic Beast activities in the canyon again. What would happen if we lost you too… Sob sob sob…”
Liu Chen burst into tears.
”Hey... don't cry, it's not over yet. Have a little hope. Who knows, your hope might come true!” Chen Xiaobei said, as he stepped onto the Somersault Cloud, and steered it towards the Zachara Grand Canyon.
