Chapter 176 Enemy or friend?
Lin Xuxi looked back at the ferret on the ground and found that the wound on its forelimb had healed. No, it's not healed, it's that you are not injured anymore.
When Lin Xuxi looked back at the big rock, the bloodstains on the rock had disappeared.
"Backtrack." Lin Xuxi was somewhat disappointed. She simply sat down on a large rock, watching the ferrets scurrying around her feet. She asked, "Does time always return to its original point every time I leave and come back? No wonder I always go up and down to a different place. Which master of Qimen Dunjia created this place? It's incredible."
The ferret probably didn't understand what Lin Xuxi was saying. It bit the hem of Lin Xuxi's magenta dress that was dragging on the ground, as if it wanted to drag her somewhere.
Lin Xuxi stood up and followed the snow ferret.
The ferret was not injured this time and moved more swiftly. After jumping here and there, it suddenly jumped onto a large tree and sat down on a branch, not moving.
"Are you asking me to come up?"
The big trees she encountered along the way were all the same, with no difference. She even suspected that she had been walking around the same tree for nearly an hour.
"Cluck, cluck—" The ferret just clucked and didn't answer.
Lin Xuxi thought, since it had come to this, what was the harm in following it? He pinched his fingers together, and Yufeng went up and sat on the branch.
"Okay, I'm coming up. What do you want to do?" Lin Xuxi asked Xue Er.
But this time the ferret stopped barking, stood up its lower body and looked into the distance.
Lin Xuxi also looked in the direction of the ferret and unexpectedly found a shimmering silver ribbon. She thought she was seeing things, so she rubbed her eyes and looked again, but the silver ribbon was still there.
"It doesn't look like a silver ribbon, but rather like the Milky Way falling into the human world." The Milky Way is wrapped around a mountain not far away, as if it fell from the sky, and then circled around the dark mountain to decorate it. It is really beautiful.
Lin Xuxi turned to look at the ferret beside her, but it was gone. She didn't even know when it left, and she frowned slightly.
Could it be that the ferret was here to lead the way? And who was this kindhearted person who offered to help?
But this was not a good time to think, as the sky suddenly darkened. The sky, which had been bright until now, suddenly darkened at this moment, so fast that it was just a blink of an eye, and night fell.
She guessed that the snow ferret had led her out of the formation, and since then, the sun and moon had returned to normal. Based on the time she had wasted inside, it was indeed midnight.
Thinking of this, she was not in a hurry to go down. She could see the Milky Way here, which might be a signal.
She would wait until the night was over before going down, just in case.
The night covered the ground, which looked like the tracks of countless giant pythons crawling. If she went down now, she would become the meal of the cold blood vine.
Lin Xuxi wasn't sleepy either. She leaned against a tree trunk, closed her eyes, and began to practice breathing exercises. The miasma was somewhat hindering her practice, and until the second half of the night, she couldn't mobilize her spiritual energy freely. She was too lazy to continue with the useless work and stared blankly at the Milky Way.
"With this strange phenomenon, it's hard to say for sure what Tao Feng said. Longquan Villa must have obtained a treasure, and they're afraid that others might covet it, so they've secluded themselves here and put in all this effort."
However, Lin Xuxi was not interested in those treasures. She just wanted to know whether there were these white papers in Longquan Villa.
When the night passed and the day broke, Lin Xuxi came down from the tree and walked towards the mountain where the Milky Way fell.
This time, she didn't get lost again. After crossing a mountain, she took out the map and found the mountain peak that the map indicated. "We need to move forward."
The further they walked, the thicker the miasma became. Now Lin Xuxi could no longer see anything under his feet. He could only make out some dead branches, with nowhere to step.
She stumbled and almost tripped over something. Lin Xuxi held onto the nearest tree trunk with her right hand, but unexpectedly, she seemed to be holding something alive in her hand, and it actually began to move.
Lin Xuxi instantly withdrew her hand, concentrated and held her breath. When the surroundings became quiet, she heard a barely audible rustling sound, like a snake crawling on the ground.
She guessed that she should be on the cold blood vine at this time.
Everything I touched and stepped on was cold-blood vine. For a moment, I didn't dare to move, and a feeling of fear crept up from the soles of my feet.
Just as she was at a loss, she heard the same movement behind her. She thought it was a ferret, but when she looked back, even though the miasma was thick, she could still make out the general outline. It wasn't a ferret, but a person.
Lin Xuxi wasn't sure if the person was a friend or foe, but suddenly she had an idea. She still had her foot bindings on, so she could see who this person was.
The foot-binding silk did not lose its way due to the miasma, but was firmly wrapped around the person's foot. And she did not realize that she also had foot-binding silk on her foot.
Now the two people who cannot see each other clearly are wrapping each other with foot binding silk.
Waiting for the opportunity.
The person who was following seemed to notice that the person in front had not left, so he also stood still.
Lin Xuxi couldn't see the person clearly through the miasma, and wanted to use some method to dispel the miasma to see who the other person was, so he drew a wind-attracting talisman in the air.
A strong wind blew by, but the miasma seemed to be welded to iron and did not move at all.
Lin Xuxi's skirt was fluttering in the wind, but the fog still couldn't be dispersed.
The wind also blew on the man, and he realized that Lin Xuxi seemed to have discovered him. He tightened the foot binding around his wrist.
This is the clue he followed in, and he can't lose it.
Lin Xuxi pinched the foot binding between her index finger and thumb, ready to act at any moment. She waited for the right moment to act.
Just as the two were in a stalemate, the cold blood vines brought by the wind slowly poked their heads out from between them.
The cold-blood vine was as thick as a python. It first tentatively stretched out a vine tentacle and shook it between the two of them, trying to see if there was anyone there.
The blood-colored vines swayed back and forth, looking like they were stirring up miasma or showing off, and actually looked a bit cute.
What the two feared most was a sudden attack from the cold-blood vine. Although the cold-blood vine looked cute now, if it really had murderous intentions, they would not be able to resist.
The cold-blood vine suddenly stopped shaking its head and slowly leaned towards Lin Xuxi.
Seeing the cold-blood vine getting closer, Lin Xuxi suddenly grabbed the foot binding silk in her hand and pulled it hard.
The person at the other end of the bound foot thread obviously didn't expect that the other party was using the same trick as him. He was caught off guard and was pulled backwards and fell heavily to the ground.
This fall attracted the attention of the cold-blood vine.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Xuxi turned around and jumped into the air, fleeing forward against the miasma.
"Damn it."
Just when Lin Xuxi thought she could escape, her ankle tightened. This feeling was so familiar, so familiar that it reminded her of how he had been pulled back in the new secret realm.
