Chasing the white light all the way, Yao Beibei did not notice that as the road went deeper, the trees on both sides became taller and taller, and the gap between them became smaller and smaller...
"Ah!" Finally hurt by a branch, Yao Beibei covered his hot right cheek and stopped chasing.
After stopping to see where he was, Yao Beibei realized that he had chased the little thing to the depths of the dense forest unconsciously.
Most of the trees here are towering giants with luxuriant branches and leaves, almost all the sunlight is blocked and unable to shine in, and there are patches of shadows everywhere. There are many thick tree roots exposed on the ground intertwined, showing the ancient and vigorous vitality.
Even though it is late autumn, other parts of Qianqiu Peak are still warm and spring is coming. In the deep forest of the back mountain, there is a feeling of falling into the cold winter.
The cold wind blows through, making people feel cold all over. Only then did Yao Beibei remember that Fan Tuan had said that there were monsters in the dense forest in the back mountain, and told her to stay where she was and not to run around. Now she not only ran away, but she didn't know where she went!
Now her cultivation is not bad against wild beasts, but if she encounters monsters, she might not be able to get away so easily. Thinking of this, and hearing the continuous "woo hoo" wind blowing, she felt hairy and wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
"Xiaoyue, do you still remember the way back?"
In the space, Xiaoyue was in unbearable pain all over her body, lying on the grass with a distorted complexion, looking very uncomfortable, but when she heard Yao Beibei's call, she managed to cheer up: "Master, I probably remember the route. "
"Xiaoyue, what's wrong with you?" Yao Beibei couldn't help being startled when he heard Xiaoyue's weak voice.
"Master, I feel a little uncomfortable. Follow me and say 'Xiaoyue, you don't need to use that black storage bag.'"
"Huh?" Yao Beibei's head was full of question marks, she didn't understand why Xiaoyue asked her to read such a sentence, but she still suppressed her curiosity and said: "Xiaoyue, you don't need to use that black storage bag."
The pain all over her body disappeared in an instant, Xiaoyue took a deep breath, but her complexion was still pale, and she wanted to close her eyes to recover for a while.
"what-"
Yao Beibei's scream suddenly came from her ears, Xiaoyue's face changed suddenly, and she opened her eyes anxiously: "Master, what happened?"
At this moment, her body is too weak, and her perception of the outside world is vague, so she cannot fully judge Yao Beibei's situation.
"Um, it's nothing, it seems that the little thing came back just now."
The white light came back too quickly, and when Yao Beibei came back to her senses, she only saw a fluffy white mass crawling around her legs, which seemed to be the little thing she was chasing all the way just now.
As if sensing that Yao Beibei had noticed him, the little thing slowly raised his head to look at Yao Beibei, and kept making "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" sound.
This little thing is only 20 centimeters long. It is a four-clawed animal with pointed ears and a pink nose. It looks like a cat but has no whiskers. It looks like a dog but has a small mouth. It looks like a fox but its tail is too short.
The fur is white and flawless, and the color is bright, and a pair of big round eyes are as bright as pure rubies. He carefully moves four fleshy paws to lie on Yao Beibei's left foot, and there seems to be some anticipation in his eyes.
Overwhelmed by the cuteness of this little thing, Yao Beibei's heart suddenly softened, and he asked with love on his face: "Little thing, did you come back to find me on purpose?"
The little thing seemed to be wise, he nodded slightly after understanding Yao Beibei's words, then lowered his head and grabbed the corner of her skirt, tugging gently, as if he wanted to take her somewhere.
Yao Beibei was about to follow her, but Xiaoyue hurriedly stopped her and said, "Master, please don't go with it! I can't even see the identity of this little thing, and it has already opened its mind. It has been deliberately luring us here before. There must be fraud in it, master, let's go back and find your senior brother first!"
"Um, this little thing looks very pitiful and seems to need my help. I will go with it first. If there is any danger, I am a cultivator of immortals. How can I not be able to defeat such a little thing? It really can't, I hide Just enter the space!"
"In that case, master, please be careful!" Xiaoyue could sense that Yao Beibei liked this little thing very much, and couldn't detect its malice for a while, so she stopped her no longer. But she didn't relax her vigilance, sensing the little thing's movements at any time, once she sensed malicious intent, she would strike unceremoniously!
With Xiaoyue's permission, Yao Beibei leaned over and waved at the little thing with a smile: "Let's go, little thing!"
The little thing saw that Yao Beibei agreed to go with it, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes, and he bounced around to lead the way.
This time the little thing didn't run as fast as before, but jumped forward for a certain distance, and then stopped for a while so that Yao Beibei could catch up in time.
The further you go, the taller and more luxuriant the trees are, giving you a feeling of covering the sky and the sun.
After walking for about 20 minutes, the little thing suddenly became excited, a white light fell on the entrance of a cave, and he kept making urgent humming sounds, as if telling Yao Beibei that he would arrive sooner.
The entrance of the cave was only one meter high, so Yao Beibei had to bend down to enter. The inside of this cave is dry and airy, but there are many intersections, the little thing shouted excitedly to lead the way, Yao Beibei turned all the way, I don't know how many turns, it made her dizzy.
The more inward the cave is, the more open it is, and there is a fragrance of plants, like a cave where immortals live.
Suddenly there was a sharp hissing sound, Yao Beibei stopped in his tracks immediately, his scalp felt numb, this was a dangerous signal, could it be that there is a big boa constrictor here? She doesn't want to meet another python demon again!
The little thing also stopped at this moment, whimpering in the direction of the hissing sound, as if communicating with something invisible.
After a few minutes, the little thing seemed to have persuaded the hostile thing, and yelled at Yao Beibei again, as if to say that it was all right and could come over.
"Master, it was a squirrel just now. It sensed that you broke into its territory and was persuaded by that little thing. It will no longer feel malicious. Master, please be careful!"
Xiaoyue's complexion improved a bit, and she was meditating cross-legged in the space to recover herself.
Yao Beibei kept Xiaoyue's words in her heart. In her heart, squirrels were cute and harmless, so she was not afraid anymore and continued to follow the little things.
After turning around and turning a few turns, an empty cave appeared in front of me. In the middle of the cave was some dry grass, on which a big gray squirrel was standing stiffly, staring at Yao Beibei warily.
The little thing yelled at the squirrel, then lowered its head and ran to bite Yao Beibei's skirt, and gently pulled her, as if to let her get close to the squirrel.
Yao Beibei could see the squirrel's hostility, but he always felt that there was some anxiety in its vigilance, as if it was afraid of her.
Yao Beibei followed the little thing a few steps closer to the squirrel, and the squirrel suddenly started hissing at her again.
At this moment, Yao Beibei naturally understood that the squirrel was warning her not to approach her. Although she liked this little thing, she felt very uncomfortable being so hostile, so she stopped in her tracks.
The little thing suddenly became anxious, ran up to the squirrel, and rubbed its snow-white head against its belly. The squirrel's stiffness gradually eased, Yao Beibei seemed to see tiredness and sadness on its face when it relaxed.
At this moment, the little thing suddenly used its claws to quickly plan the hay under the squirrel's feet, and Yao Beibei's face turned pale immediately, because she saw that the squirrel's left leg was rotten, and the exposed bones were a little hairy. Black, as if poisoned by something.
Seeing this, Yao Beibei understood that this little thing should have been living in this cave with the squirrel all the time, the squirrel was injured for some reason, and the little thing couldn't help it, so he brought himself all the way and wanted her to help it. It saves the squirrel.
Although she can't be sure what kind of beast this little thing is, Yao Beibei is sure that it is definitely not a squirrel. Seeing that these two different kinds of animals can live together and take care of each other, her heart softens instantly. She actually felt that the squirrel grinning at her became less hateful.
Then I saw some flowers and plants planted in this cave, which seemed to be transplanted from the outside within a few days. It should be dug by that little thing, but I don’t know if it is to cover the rotten smell of the squirrel’s wound with the fragrance of the flowers and plants, or to let the squirrel see it. I feel better when I see these flowers and plants.
Ordinary squirrels live in trees, and those who live in caves like this one should have already opened their minds.
"I think you can understand me. I'm here because this little thing brought me here. I know you're hurt, but I mean no harm. You let me see your wounds. I hope I can save you." You, this is also the wish of this little thing." Yao Beibei said softly, although she doesn't know medical skills, she really wants to help these two loving and righteous little animals.
The little thing obviously understood Yao Beibei's words, and nodded to her with gratitude in his eyes, and looked at the squirrel expectantly, as if waiting for it to nod in agreement.
"Xiaoyue, can you see what kind of injury this squirrel has suffered? How can I treat it?" Yao Beibei has already regarded Xiaoyue as a treasure house, and immediately seeks her help in this gap.
"It must have been poisoned by some kind of animal to cause its limbs to rot. If it continues to rot like this, it will die in a few days. Master, your current cultivation level can't save this squirrel at all. Let's go back first!"
Hearing this, Yao Beibei's heart suddenly turned cold. She didn't want to be disappointed by that little thing, and she couldn't ignore these two interdependent little animals and let them fend for themselves!
Disappointed for only a moment, Yao Beibei's eyes suddenly lit up: "Xiaoyue, didn't you say that the spirit spring water has a strong vitality? Since the spirit spring water is so powerful, it should be no problem to deal with mere animal poisons, right?" She has already made up her mind. She plans, if the spirit spring water doesn't work, she will take these two little animals away and show her brothers and sisters, if it doesn't work, there will be her unscrupulous teacher!
