Chapter 175 East Resentment Mountain
Chapter 175 East Resentment Mountain
Compared to other cultivators, demon cultivators cultivate extremely quickly. They rely on demonic energy to achieve breakthroughs. As for where does demonic energy come from? It may be eaten by humans, cultivators, or even their own kind.
It is not an exaggeration to say that they eat raw meat and drink blood, so the righteous cultivators do not despise the evil cultivators and do not bother to associate with them.
He was always threatened by this sentence, but he still had no ability to resist. His Mahayana cultivator came like this, so he had no choice but to bow his head and agree.
He didn't care about the injuries on his body and got up and left.
Lin Xuxi arrived at the outskirts of Dongyuan Mountain. She stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up at the top. Before she even reached the top, she could already feel the chill.
"I don't know what's in there." Lin Xuxi was extremely cautious and stepped into the miasma forest.
The man who had been following her frowned even more after he noticed her go in. He touched his aching wound, thinking that if he went in, the cold blood vine might find out about his injury.
By then, he might die under the cold blood vine. No, he had to think of a foolproof plan before going in.
From the outside, it looked like the entire dense forest was shrouded in thick fog. Only after Lin Xuxi actually went in did she realize that the visibility was too low. She couldn't even see the treetops above her head even when she stood there and looked up.
"Such a thick miasma." Lin Xuxi had memorized the map long ago and headed for the top of the mountain. This was still the outskirts of Dongyuan Mountain, and she had to climb over at least two hills before she could get close to Longquan Villa.
Lin Xuxi walked forward while holding her nose. When she reached the top of the mountain, she heard a giggling sound. It didn't sound like the sound was made by the cold-blood vine, but rather like a living thing.
Lin Xuxi felt pity and walked over to where the sound came from. She saw a dying white mink. Blood was oozing from its front legs, and it looked like it had been injured by something.
"How could there be a living thing here?" Although she was a little skeptical, Lin Xuxi still bent down and picked up the ferret, looking at its front limbs that were dripping with blood.
"Giggle--" The ferret kept struggling after being picked up, obviously worried that this human would hurt it again.
"Don't be afraid, I'll bandage you." Lin Xuxi gently comforted the ferret, placed the ferret on a stone next to a big tree, pulled out its front legs and saw that the wound was very fresh, probably just injured.
Lin Xuxi took out some medicine to stop the bleeding, then wrapped the wound with a handkerchief. She soothed the frightened ferret and asked softly, "Why are you here?"
Moreover, it is not afraid of miasma.
She was not afraid of miasma because she took the pill sent by Tao Fengzhi. What about this ferret?
"Chuckle—" The ferret kept calling out, grabbing the hand of its savior and refusing to let go.
Lin Xuxi chuckled: "How about you stay in my storage bracelet first, and then I'll let you out after I finish my work and leave, okay?"
It's rare to be able to negotiate with a ferret.
But the ferret seemed unwilling to do so. It jumped off the rock and continued to walk forward. However, because its front legs were still injured, it could not run very fast, and it would stop after a few steps and start cackling again.
"Where are you taking me?" Lin Xuxi easily caught up with the ferret in two steps. The ferret didn't run that fast, and the ground was covered with fallen leaves and branches.
She bent down, picked up the ferret on the ground, and placed it in her arms, comforting it, "If you don't want to stay in the storage bracelet, just stay on my shoulder and don't run around. I saved you once, and I won't save you a second time."
She shouldn't have paid any attention to it. After all, the sudden appearance of such a beautiful creature in this place might be a trap. But a ferret shouldn't be able to hurt her.
Forget it, just consider it as the merit of the seven-story pagoda.
The ferret seemed to understand and didn't scratch its hind paws. Even if one of its front paws was injured, it could still easily slither down the arm to the shoulder.
After reaching the shoulders, the ferret stopped.
Seeing that it could understand her, Lin Xuxi guessed it might have awakened to intelligence. If that was the case, she'd just carry it with her for now. It should be manageable from her shoulder, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Lin Xuxi went up the mountain and then followed the same path down. The presence of a ferret did not affect her movements at all, and she went down the mountain very smoothly.
She suddenly stopped, stopped at a big tree.
"This tree looks familiar."
Lin Xuxi remembered something and walked around the tree to the other side. Sure enough, she saw a rock with blood on it. This was where she had rescued the ferret.
"We are still lost in the miasma belt." Lin Xuxi looked up at the sky.
But the miasma was so thick that she couldn't see the sun at all. There was no living creature around her in the gloomy environment, only her and the ferret.
If she had continued walking without stopping, she might not have gotten lost, but she stopped to save the ferret. Now she was trapped by the miasma and faced the second biggest problem in Dongyuan Mountain: getting lost.
"Let's see if there is any way." Lin Xuxi made a hand gesture with his right hand, flew up into the air and broke through the miasma and the forest, and came to the sky to look down.
After determining the direction of the sun, Lin Xuxi fell back, but was surprised to find that she was no longer in the same place as the big tree.
"Huh?" She was a little surprised, and flew up again to take a look. When she came down, she was in a different place again.
Lin Xuxi tried two or three times and found that the place she went up and down was different. Now she couldn't tell where she was.
"There must be a master who has set up a formation here, or it might even be an illusion." Lin Xuxi only now understood why there was no one in Dongyuan Mountain.
Now she had no choice but to stop where she was and decide her direction in this unfamiliar place. Hesitantly, she set her eyes on the ferret on her shoulder.
"Do you know the way?" Lin Xuxi took the ferret off her shoulders, poked its cheek, and asked, "Do you know how to get there?"
Snow Ferret: "Chuckle—"
Lin Xuxi thought for a moment, put the ferret on the ground, squatted down, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I don't know the direction now, why not take a chance and follow you? Who knows, maybe there will be some unexpected gains."
"Cough-cough-"
The ferret coughed twice and suddenly ran behind Lin Xuxi.
"Oh, you know the way." Lin Xuxi turned around and followed the snow ferret forward.
The ferret walked slowly, and she was in no hurry.
Soon, they came to the place where the ferret was injured, but the blood on the big rock was still fresh, as if it had just been stained.
Seeing this, Lin Xuxi was startled. She quickly ran over, squatted down, and used her fingertips to pick up a little blood. The blood was still fresh, so she rubbed it on the tip of her middle finger a few times.
"It's fresh, but it took us at least an hour to walk around."
Lin Xuxi now knew that she was not only trapped here, but perhaps also trapped in time. If it was just a formation, it would be fine, but if it was this reason, she would never be able to leave even if she wasted her whole life here.
"Cough cough——" the ferret made another sound.
