Chapter 51

The Werewolf Race, aside from their unique characteristics, had a remarkable ability to adapt to harsh environments.

Combined with the keen instincts of beasts, although Daniel himself was unreliable, Chloe saw him as a wolf and found him suddenly more reliable.

Since Daniel volunteered, no one stopped him.

Before entering the tent, Chloe turned to Daniel and said, "You guard the first half of the night, I'll guard the second half, any problem?"

Daniel made an OK gesture with his hand.

With this agreement in place, Chloe relaxed and crawled into her sleeping bag, intending to get a good night's sleep.

The howling wind beat against the tent, making a dull sound, but the group had already adapted to the unique noise of the desert night and quickly fell asleep.

At this moment, Daniel transformed into his wolf form, curling up by the campfire.

The firelight reflected in Daniel's golden eyes as he extended his claws, subconsciously digging into the sand.

He enjoyed the peaceful environment, reminiscent of the days he spent with his mother in the primeval forest.

Daniel exhaled, his head nodding slowly, as if resting.

But his two pointed wolf ears remained upright, alert to the sounds around him.

After some time, Daniel felt a bit tired, and suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him.

He turned abruptly, only to see Chloe stepping out of the tent.

Daniel relaxed, "Why did you come out?"

Chloe, watching his ears twitching, couldn't resist and walked over to sit by the campfire, plucking a handful of Daniel's fur, saying, "It must be the second half of the night, I'm taking over the night watch."

"Oh," Daniel nodded, then warily said, "Don't pinch my ears, you're being a rogue!"

Ignoring Daniel's words, Chloe continued to touch his ears, "Is this the first time you've realized I'm a rogue?"

Daniel grinned, finally lying down flat and letting her touch him.

After all, even if their races were different, what harm was there in being a rogue?

Watching Chloe's skilled movements, Daniel sadly realized that in Chloe's heart, he was probably just a pet.

A pet that could have its ears rubbed at will.

In fact, that's exactly how Chloe saw him.

Such a big wolf... it reminded her of the large wolf-dog she had raised in the post-apocalyptic world.

Feeling guilty, she pushed down that thought, withdrawing her hand from Daniel's ears and instead caressing the hilt of her knife.

Chloe asked, "Aren't you going back to sleep?"

Daniel yawned, "Actually, I find it more comfortable to sleep by the fire in my wolf form, or else I wouldn't be on night watch."

Understandingly, Chloe nodded, "You like being in your wolf form, so I guess you also like running around naked."

Daniel replied, "...Say what you want."

Exhausted, he licked his paw and continued to sleep.

The night on the Desert Planet was exceptionally quiet, but the boundary between heaven and earth was no longer as blurred, making it less terrifying.

Chloe's knife tip tapped the ground aimlessly, her mind searching for something.

Just as she began to feel a little drowsy, there came a loud rumble from up ahead.

Chloe perked up, "There's something ahead."

Daniel groggily opened his eyes, "Huh? I didn't hear anything."

"My senses reached out, it was my senses that caught the sound of an explosion up ahead," Chloe replied.

With that, Chloe quickly sent a message to the others' terminals, then grabbed Daniel by the hair and hopped onto his back.

Daniel instantly freaked out, "What are you doing?!"

Chloe was exhilarated, "Let's go, it's just ahead!"

Daniel wanted to curse, but Chloe seemed unusually urgent on his back.

After a moment's thought, he started walking forward, "You wait, I'll settle the score with you when we get back!"

This large wolf was well-adapted to the desert environment, and with Chloe on his back, they ran swiftly.

Chloe's senses spread out towards the front, and the sounds of explosions became increasingly clear.

She was excited, her intense curiosity making her irresistibly intrigued by what lay ahead.

Before long, Daniel's eyes turned a deep crimson.

He stopped, lifting his wolf head high, his voice puzzled, "What is this?"

Daniel's wolf head blocked Chloe's view, she pushed his head down and looked at the huge monster ahead, "I don't know either."

Daniel: "..."

He was emanating resentment.

It was an extremely ugly monster, currently hovering over the sandy ground, surrounded by various dead animals, blood dripping everywhere.

Chloe looked at it, then counted on her fingers, "Tiger head, snake body, eagle wings, and... chicken feet?"

"It looks... strange."

Daniel was certain that what Chloe originally wanted to say was ugly.

She licked her dry lips, driving Daniel towards the monster.

Daniel was a bit scared, but he pretended to be calm, stepping closer to the creature.

The creature had golden eyes, although it was staring at Chloe, it didn't seem to show any signs of wanting to attack.

Chloe's gaze searched the creature's body, finally settling on what looked like a doorway beneath its chicken feet:

"It seems like there's a door there."

Daniel tilted his head, "This is the Barren Planet, how could there be a door?"

The Desert Planet had been uninhabited for billions of years, perhaps civilization had existed long before, but after billions of years of erosion, any buildings would likely have been destroyed by sandstorms, and could not possibly still exist.

Chloe's voice was excited, "But it really looks like a door!"

She jumped off Daniel's back and approached the creature once more.

She knew her actions were very rash; if she accidentally angered this oddly-shaped creature, she could be torn apart immediately.

But Chloe couldn't help feeling that if she didn't take a look, she'd probably regret it for the rest of her life.

Fortunately, the creature still showed no signs of wanting to harm Chloe.

It just lowered its tiger head, its golden eyes curiously watching her.

Chloe cleared her throat, then reached out and pushed the creature's chicken feet.

The monster paused, then lifted its leg, revealing the huge dark door below.

"...There really is a structure."

Chloe's voice sounded distant.

Without a doubt, that was a hidden door. There was definitely a civilization on the Desert Planet before, although it had been destroyed. But being able to survive for so long, the things inside must be very valuable for research!

And with this monster...

Chloe had never read about this kind of monster in any related books. Judging from the dead animal bodies nearby, this monster was ferocious, but when facing Chloe and Daniel, it unexpectedly showed a gentle side.

The live broadcast of this match continued, not stopping because of the arrival of night.

The appearance of this monster on the continent caused a huge sensation, and the leaders of various military academies on the Desert Planet were also puzzled.

What kind of monster was this?

Ren Yunying frowned:

"Send someone into the arena to take a look. It's been a long time since an unknown species appeared on the continent."
