My Sexy Female CEO

Chapter 1147: Failed Pursuit



"Damn!"

The Mu Family Elder couldn't help but curse silently.

This was Chi Luoluo warning Lin Yifan, Chi Luo challenging their Mu family's authority.

Now, without being able to track him, he couldn't know what Lin Yifan was up to.

This was a huge loss. If Lin Yifan were to get the treasure first or find out something, their Mu family wouldn't even get a share.

The mining site manager returned with a guilty conscience. He really didn't dare chase any further because it was pointless.

"Elder, I..."

"Enough, no need to explain. Just hurry to the warehouse and check it out!"

The Mu Family Elder didn't want to make things difficult for the mining site boss since the other party was also left with no choice.

"Alright!"

The mining site manager wasted no time and immediately led his team to the warehouse.

The Mu Family Elder's leniency was the greatest mercy to him, so he intended to complete this task with all his might.

Arriving at the warehouse, he opened the main gate. At a glance, everyone was instantly dumbfounded.

Because inside the warehouse, the ground was filled with stones slashed by sharp weapons; not a single one was intact.

"Elder! This is not good!"

He shouted, informing the Mu Family Elder of the situation.

Hearing the shout, the Mu Family Elder hurriedly had people support him as he went over.

As he approached the warehouse, he asked, "What's wrong?"

The mining site manager quickly came over, supporting the elder while leading him forward and answering, "All the ore in the warehouse has been split open by that kid!"

"Damn! You bastard!"

The Mu Family Elder was so angry he nearly spat blood.

He hurried to the warehouse entrance and looked inside, finding the situation was exactly as the mining site manager described.

"This damned kid, if I don't make him pay, I won't be able to vent my anger!"

The Mu Family Elder's fury couldn't be calmed for a long time; he was truly exploding with rage.

"Elder, what should we do now?" asked the mining site manager.

"We'll have to wait for the Clan Leader to handle it," the Mu Family Elder replied.

His older brother was already on the way, and he believed that in a few hours, he would arrive.

Once he arrived, he could suppress this arrogant brat Lin Yifan.

Meanwhile, Lin Yifan was still chasing the horned squirrel.

The horned squirrel was too cunning; sometimes it dashed into rock crevices, other times into the shrubs, making him dizzy and irritated.

"Damn! I refuse to believe I can't catch you, this little Breaking Mortal Realm squirrel."

Lin Yifan steadied his patience and continued playing hide-and-seek with the horned squirrel.

After this period of pursuit, he concluded that it was a Spirit Beast because he had been attacked by it.

The horned squirrel's two horns could emit Cultivation Power to attack enemies; fortunately, it was only a Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm peak Spirit Beast, otherwise, he could have been ambushed.

The horned squirrel knew it couldn't beat Lin Yifan, so it could only flee for its life.

And so, in this chase, they gradually left the mining site and headed to the distant desert.

The desert was the squirrel's refuge, so it ran directly towards it.

Of course, it didn't run in a straight line because it knew it ran slower than Lin Yifan.

A few dozen kilometers beyond the town of Temir was the desolate Sarata Great Desert; you could say that Temir was the last inhabited place along the road to the Sarata Great Desert.

Many who went to explore the Sarata Great Desert would prepare everything here in advance.

The whole way was barren gobi desert; it was vast with little vegetation.

But even in such a barren place, the horned squirrel found a path to escape, straining Lin Yifan's eyes.

The horned squirrel had already dug a tunnel connecting to the Sarata Great Desert, so it could escape underground and avoid Lin Yifan's detection.

Lin Yifan had to keep striking with sharp Sword Qi to expose this rat way buried underground.

The horned squirrel originally wanted to hide in the underground tunnel and toy with Lin Yifan; but, the path behind it kept collapsing, so it could only keep moving forward, avoiding being struck or cut by Lin Yifan's sharp Sword Qi.

These two, in their chase and escape, resembled the thief and cop in subway surfing games.

The horned squirrel kept escaping, dodging Lin Yifan, the ferocious cop. And Lin Yifan, the cop, kept pursuing the horned squirrel, this thief with great utility value.

Unknowingly, they arrived at the Sarata Great Desert.

During the chase, Lin Yifan actually had opportunities to catch the horned squirrel, but unfortunately, the squirrel was inherently crafty, changing its path, and even using its two horns to carve a tunnel, making it impossible for Lin Yifan to predict its whereabouts ahead of time.

The Sarata Great Desert was even more desolate; there was almost no vegetation, just endless golden-yellow sand.

However, although there was nothing to hide behind, it was safer for the horned squirrel.

Because it could easily burrow into the soft sand and carve out tunnels, unlike the hard gobi desert, which required using its Cultivation Power to dig an underground tunnel.

Moreover, the key advantage was that it could leave no trace.

This was because the sand is soft and can't solidify like dirt; it collapses easily, so when burrowing through the sand, the horned squirrel could leave no trace.

Simply put, in the hard gobi, its underground escape would leave a tunnel and some footprints, while in the desert, it would leave no tunnel or footprints.

So, as soon as it entered the Sarata Great Desert, the horned squirrel quickly burrowed into the soft sand, disappearing without a trace.

Lin Yifan sensed something amiss and hurriedly shot out several streaks of sharp Sword Qi, splitting the sand ahead.

But this time, he couldn't see the horned squirrel's tracks anymore.

The horned squirrel might have burrowed deeper or changed route, straying far from this place.

Lin Yifan, unwilling to give up, launched several more Sword Qi strikes, but still gained nothing.

By now, he decided to give up.

The desert was the horned squirrel's home; chasing it in its own territory, how could he succeed?

"Damn!"

Lin Yifan thrust his sword into the sand, cursing quietly. He was so close to catching the horned squirrel, but a moment of carelessness let it escape; in retrospect, he truly regretted it.

However, he didn't become discouraged because he had a way to lure the horned squirrel out.

The horned squirrel was enticed by the green Holy Water, which made a perfect "bait" to lure the fish.

In the coming days, the horned squirrel was unlikely to leave the Sarata Great Desert because it had just experienced the most terrifying chase of its life and was certainly extremely frightened.

So, in the coming days, Lin Yifan could take it easy or attend to other matters.
