Chapter 379 - 22: Elope (3)_2
...
From a certain perspective, you have to admit that Andrew’s decision not to let Christina reveal her dragon form was absolutely the right choice. At least, so far, this decision has been proven correct.
Once her dragon form is revealed, though the speed will become extremely fast, the target will become equally enormous. People might miss seeing a bat flying through the sky, but they certainly won’t miss seeing a dragon. Isn’t that right?
Of course, even moving in human form doesn’t guarantee they won’t be discovered, especially when there are two forces simultaneously tracking them.
...
Nightfall was gradually approaching, and the desert’s night sky was dotted with countless stars.
"Whew..." Andrew wiped the sweat off his brow as he finally finished covering the buried spot with dirt. Then he began looking around, searching for a marker. "Carrying money around is such a hassle; it makes us too big a target. If they had just uncovered the cloth we draped over the gold coins earlier, they would’ve instantly found it. I don’t think a group of soldiers stumbling across a heap of gold coins in the wilderness would remain indifferent, even if those coins have an owner. Besides, we can’t use the cart anymore. Let’s just keep the money we need and bury the rest here for now. We can come back for it when we get the chance."
"But, how will we find this place again later?" Christina asked.
That was indeed the issue.
You have to admit that burying gold coins in the desert isn’t a great idea, because later on, you might not even be able to find the original spot. After all, the desert is vast and empty, and every place looks the same.
"We’ll remember this rock." Andrew pointed at a nearby boulder. As he spoke, he began circling the boulder. After a while, he started to feel discouraged. "Well, maybe not."
Why not?
