Famous pointed to a slightly larger sand dune in front of them, meaning that the smell was very fresh. Fina was likely to be on the other side of the sand dune, but since she’d left without saying a word, perhaps she did not want to meet with everyone. Thus, if she knew that everyone was coming, she was very likely to run away again.

Zhang Zian turned off the flashlight and made a gesture, indicating that everyone was to scatter against the direction of the wind to prevent Fina from having the opportunity to escape.

The elfins chose different paths and silently made their way to both sides of the dunes.

Zhang Zian’s goal was obvious. However, it was not easy for him to stay hidden. He had to rely on the dead branches lying around to act as a cover. Without any flashlight to aid his movement, his actions appeared slightly clumsy compared to the elfins’.

His only advantages were his height and field of vision. He stood behind a dead tree and looked at the dunes through the branches. When his eyes finally adjusted to the lack of light, he first saw a few bright eyes, followed by their respective outlines.

The first figure’s outline he recognized was Fina’s. Although it was very dark and the figure was the farthest away, based on his intuition, he knew that it was Fina.

Fina stood on a slightly higher sand dune and looked at the other pairs of eyes.

What surprised Zhang Zian was that the other pairs of eyes were also those of cats, but not domestic cats. At least, they weren’t domestic cats in the modern sense, but some kind of wild cats similar to domestic cats.

Were these cats the ones that Nabari had encountered?

Fina said impatiently, “Don’t follow me. Go back to your own life.”

She turned and walked a few steps, but upon looking back, she saw that the other cats were still following her.

“I do not intend to live here. I just…came back to see that all of you have a good life. I am now relieved by the knowledge that this is indeed true, so go back,” Fina said.

But no matter what she said, the cats continued following her.

Fina coldly looked up. “I still have other things to do and don’t have time to play with you. Don’t follow me!”

With that, she took a bow, accumulated strength in her legs, and ran deeper into the Devil’s Sea, apparently wanting to get rid of these cats.

However, just at this moment, she could sense something amiss. She stopped and asked, “Who is it? Who is hiding there?”

“Oh, you left without saying goodbye. I missed you very, very much.” Old Time Tea emerged from the darkness, and behind the respectful attitude, he was determined to block Fina’s escape route. It would take a lot of effort to get past him.

“Is there more than one of you?” Fina was very annoyed and started to scan the area. With a glance she saw Zhang Zian, who was hiding behind the dry tree.

Zhang Zian knew that he couldn’t hide anymore. He stood up with a cheeky expression and greeted Fina. “Haha! Fina, you also like to sleepwalk!”

The other elfins also ran out of their hiding places. The wild cats hurriedly turned around, frightened by the sudden appearance of humans and other animals. They did not know where to go.

Fina looked at them and said, albeit a little too proudly, “Do you think that this will stop me?”

She glanced fiercely around and was ready to forcibly break through the group.

“Of course they can’t stop you, so I will be the one doing so,” Zhang Zian said.

“You?” Fina laughed. Just relying on Zhang Zian would not suffice. Even Snowy Lionet by herself could not do it. How could he, a mere human, stop her?

“Because I have a magic weapon!” Zhang Zian took out a thick and hard object from his crotch… No, he took out the flashlight from his pocket.

“The power of this gadget… Have you not already learned about it?” he said, playing with the flashlight.

Fina’s face changed dramatically. “How dare you shine the flashlight in my eyes?”

Zhang Zian had used the flashlight with the desert foxes before, and it had left them in pain. He had also accidentally hurt Fina a little in the process, and it had left a deep impression on her. She knew that the flashlight had a huge impact on animals that were highly dependent on their night vision to move around.

Knowing was knowing, but she had no way to counter it. This was because she could not control how her pupils moved and could only try to dodge the light. However, the speed of light was known to be extremely fast, faster than cats could move. If the light really hit her eyes, temporary blindness was inevitable.

Unless absolutely necessary, Zhang Zian was also unwilling to do this. He knew that the consequences in the future would be more dire if he did so. However, if Fina insisted on doing things her way, then he could only proceed with this plan and worry about what would happen in the future…

“I can understand your feelings. I believe Zhang Zian also can understand. If something is bothering you, we can talk about it, but everyone will definitely not sit and watch you settle it alone.” Old Time Tea was afraid of things going crazy. The one who would suffer the most if that happened was Zhang Zian, and therefore, he sought to build a consensus early on to reduce the tension.

Fina was jealous of Zhang Zian’s flashlight. If she really got blinded by it, she would be embarrassed, wandering around like a headless fly. How could she continue facing the world?

Looking at this situation, neither Zhang Zian nor the other elfins intended to let her leave. In addition, the possibility of a forcible breakout was almost nonexistent.

Although Fina was stubborn and proud, she also knew how to recognize a situation where she could not win.

After a moment of contemplation, she softened and said, “Well, I really shouldn’t have left without saying goodbye.”

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and thought that Fina had decided to go back with them.

However, she immediately said, “Now let me tell you what I want to do. I intend to reach the center of the so-called Devil’s Sea. This is a private matter of mine, and it has nothing to do with you. I also do not think that there will be any danger. So will this count, therefore, as me saying my goodbyes?”

Everyone was at a loss for words for a moment.

Zhang Zian stood up. “I don’t know your specific plans, but I am actually very curious as well,” he said. “I also want to see what is inside. I just haven’t found the right time. Let’s allow Peter Lee and his team to go and explore the inside first. If there is danger, they will encounter it first. However, if you insist on going… Well, since we are going to go there anyway for sightseeing, that will be alright with you? It also has nothing to do with you, of course.”

He replied to Fina with the exact words she’d used, and it irritated her to no end.

Zhang Zian then pretended to smile cheerfully. “Plus, we are going by car, so we will definitely arrive earlier than you. How long will it take you to walk all by yourself? So why don’t you come with us? Let’s go back to the camp and drive.”

He signaled to the elfins and turned to make a move.

“Stop!” Fina screamed at Zhang Zian and stared at him.

She had become accustomed to the ease of living in a car and house. To suddenly travel through a desert might prove too uncomfortable for her. Merely thinking about it made her uneasy… In addition, she’d eaten a little too much in the morning and, to be honest, found it difficult to move.

Fina lifted her front paw and slammed it into the sand. She said indignantly, “I also want to take the car!”
