"Waaah, waaah." The little ferret gestured wildly, but Jian Ning and Xiao Lingfeng couldn't understand a word it said.

"Forget it, stop talking. I'll call Huang Fugui out and see what you're up to."

After Jian Ning finished speaking, she moved and returned to the immortal mansion, grabbed Huang Fugui who was in the restaurant and ordered a table full of delicious food, and pulled him out.

"What's the rush? I just ordered the food and haven't even eaten it yet. I specifically asked for crispy chicken."

"It was just served, I haven't even smelled it yet." Huang Fugui really didn't want to come out with Jian Ning, muttering to himself.

"Shut up. After you've finished communicating, go back and eat your food. It won't get cold anytime soon. You're just a glutton."

Jian Ning carried Huang Fugui, who had turned into a child, out. He immediately spotted the ferret covered in white fur.

My eyes lit up immediately.

"A ferret, does it live here? Your living conditions aren't great. Why don't you come with me? You'll have roast chicken every day."

"Waaah!" The little ferret tilted its head, looking at Huang Fugui, probably not understanding what it was saying either.

"Don't speak like a human. Quickly ask it what it wants by leading Xiao Lingfeng here. Is there any treasure here?" Jian Ning patted Huang Fugui on the head, urging it to hurry up.

"I know, what's the rush?" Huang Fugui meowed a few times, and the little ferret's eyes lit up immediately.

He stood up and gestured wildly, sounding very anxious.

"Oh, it said its people were trapped on the mountains over there and couldn't get out. The earthquake destroyed its home."

It was playing outside at the time and wasn't injured. It hopes you can help it rescue its people; it will ask its parents to give you a reward.

“Sure, where is it? Lead the way.” Jian Ning agreed without hesitation. Hearing Jian Ning's agreement, the ferret darted off in a flash.

The route it led everyone along was extremely peculiar, and the speed was not fast, otherwise no one could keep up with its pace. It would turn left and twist to the right, and in the blink of an eye, it would leave the dilapidated stilted house far behind.

After walking for a while, they rounded a grove of trees, and the sight before them stunned them. Here, the sky was a deep, transparent blue, as if it could swallow up all worries and troubles.

Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, casting a golden sea of ​​light across the rolling mountains.

The mountains rise one after another, and the path winds and turns, but unfortunately, this masterpiece of nature has been broken in half.

The mountain peak, which should have towered into the clouds, was broken in two, perhaps due to the strong earthquake outside.

And coincidentally, it landed on the mountainside below. It probably blocked the entrance to the ferret's home, otherwise the little ferret wouldn't be in such a hurry.

"This is truly a wonderful place, a pristine land untouched by humankind."

Jian Ning looked at the wildflowers blooming in front of her and the fragrant wild fruits.

Various unnamed wildflowers bloomed in profusion on the mountainside, dotting the lush green grass like dazzling jewels. I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Master, stop lamenting. What time is it? Can't you see this ferret has started swearing?"

"Hey kid, if you're going to ask for a favor, you need to do it properly. Why should my master help you when you don't even offer anything in return?"

Huang Fugui picked up the little ferret that was anxiously circling on the ground with one hand. He stared into its eyes and asked.

"Eek!" The little ferret cried out twice, blinked its eyes a few times, and suddenly pointed to a valley in front of it.

“Oh, Master, it said that you must hurry and save its people. There’s a place over there filled with jewels and gold. It can lead us there and give you all the gold.”

Jian Ning didn't care much for gold. It wouldn't be of any use to her right now. However, she was quite interested in the place the little ferret had mentioned.

"Okay, let's go take a look. Fugui, you take it outside and don't go in."

Unsure if there were still dangers in the mountains, Jian Ning placed a trapping talisman on herself and Xiao Lingfeng, then flew up the mountain on her sword. Only upon approaching did she see...

The upper part of this mountain is hollow. The rocks have been corroded by some kind of erosion and weathered away. That's probably why it was snapped in half during this earthquake.

The rocks that had rolled down outside completely covered the remaining half of the mountain, making it impossible to find the ferret's burrow entrance.

"Fugui, bring it over here and see where the old entrance/exit was." Jian Ning searched around but couldn't find the place, so she could only turn around and call out to Huang Fugui, who was leading the ferret to catch butterflies.

"It's coming. It says it can't find it either. The mountain collapsed, but it vaguely remembers that it used to be able to see a very old pine tree across the street when it went out."

Huang Fugui communicated with the ferret and found that it couldn't pinpoint the exact location either.

"Let it think about it some more. Pine tree!" Jian Ning muttered, looking around, but there was no pine tree at all.

Now all that's left on this mountain are large, fallen rocks. The scenery from before is practically useless as a reference point now.

"Let's go over there and take a look at the condition of this mountain. I estimate it's hollow inside as well. I suspect this is a karst landscape, because I've read about it in books before."

The characteristic of this type of terrain is that many of the mountains are hollow. Why don't we find a weak point and try to go inside? Xiao Lingfeng felt that just circling around on the outside was pointless.

It's more reliable to just go in and search. After all, with their excellent skills, there shouldn't be any danger.

"Alright, even if you ask this ferret, it won't explain it clearly, so let's do as you say."

This time, Jian Ning's purpose was clearer as she walked around the mountain. She quickly found a place with few rocks and a noticeably thinner rock layer.

"This is it. Let's go in together. Be careful." Jian Ning grabbed Xiao Lingfeng's hand and, without letting him speak, dragged him directly into the rocks.

Huang Fugui watched from behind as a flash of light appeared, and the two people vanished without a trace.

"Alright, those two went in to rescue people. We can go catch some wild rabbits to eat now. I'll roast them for you; they'll smell amazing."

Huang Fugui has finally found a similar ferret to cause trouble with. Although this ferret is relatively small, it's incredibly bold.

It felt that the two got along very well.

The little ferret looked back at the mountain with concern. Although it wanted to go in, it didn't have the ability, so it could only hang its little head and follow Huang Fugui to catch wild rabbits.

This place boasts beautiful mountains and clear waters, and is home to many wild animals, including not only rabbits, wild ducks, and pheasants, but also large fish in the river. There are even sika deer and antelopes.
