At the stall, someone was selling boxes of live insects, which were said to be one of the foods of ordinary people in this village.
The little insect can fly, but it can't fly very far.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Xi used spirit beast meat to barter and bought all the small flying insects. Then she went to the earthen mound outside the village and found a group of children playing and frolicking.
The children had big heads, were thin and pale, and chatted in their local dialect, staring at her curiously with their big, round eyes.
Zhao Xi wanted to take out a snake feather grass in front of them, peel the grass leaves into thin strands, tie them to the small flying insects, and put them into a box.
They can get a piece of candy by tying up a small box of insects like this, and making sure the insects are alive.
The candy is a red gummy candy made by mixing raspberry juice with cornstarch and pectin, then chilling it to create a fruity-flavored gummy candy.
Tie it together with red oil paper and straw, and it's a tiny thing.
The immortals in the Immortal Realm at most employ adult laborers and wouldn't care about the lives of children. The children had never seen gummy candies before. When they got them, they unwrapped the oiled paper, took a bite of the crystal-clear candy balls, and their faces lit up with surprise. Many children spat the candies back into their hands, rewrapped them in paper, and wanted to take them home for their families, unwilling to eat them themselves.
Zhao Xi wanted to take out a lot of sugar and snake feather grass.
Despite the language barrier, the children shouted and called for many of their companions. Some even brought their mothers and sisters to help them tie up the straw.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Xi wanted to return to the village with Tong Yue to cause trouble.
"You members of the Monster Protection Alliance, get out here right now! Give us back Xiao Jia! Waa ...
Zhao Xi wanted to whisper beside her, "Tongyue, what are you doing?"
Tongyue flew in mid-air and answered softly, "This is their language. I've only learned a few words!"
Zhao Xi tried to hide in the crowd of onlookers: "Well done!"
They searched the entire village with the portrait, but no one knew Xiao Jia's whereabouts. Even when they disguised themselves as immortals to buy it, they couldn't lure out the immortal behind it.
Those immortals seemed to have no interest in the traders.
This is likely a tacit agreement where one party buys and the other sells, and neither party interferes or disturbs the other, using only spirit stones for the transaction.
In this way, even if Zhao Xi wanted to keep an eye on them, he wouldn't be able to find anyone.
Then we'll have to lure the snake out of its hole.
Tongyue is only a Golden Core cultivator; the bigger the commotion, the better.
They no longer pretended to be themselves, and dressed up however beautifully and flamboyantly they wanted.
She stood in mid-air on her sword, wearing a bright red gauze dress that revealed her fair arms and legs, and her delicate eyebrows were adorned with peach blossom makeup.
That touch of blue at the corner of her eye was so alluring it made one's heart itch.
Of course, a snake-feather knot was tied around the waist.
As expected.
"Hehehe, a little snake demon actually came all the way here to chase after her husband? Who is your Daoist partner? I'll go find him for you."
Two or three immortals scanned Tongyue's realm with their spiritual senses, then flew over on their swords and hovered in mid-air, attempting to surround her.
Without another word, Tongyue winked and flew towards the ground. Below, a vast amount of goods were piled up. Mortals howled, protecting their patron's stall and merchandise, while the immortals dared not recklessly use their magic, following closely behind Tongyue in a pursuit.
Zhao Xi wanted to take out a large spatula and wait to the side.
Tongyue threw out a taunt, pulling the monster to her area, where she focused on dealing damage.
"clang--"
"Ah!" "Eat my whole pot!"
"clang--"
"Damn it, who shot this sneak attack?"
"Ha, I put it in a hot pan!"
Then make another pot.
After knocking them unconscious, they were bound with a magic rope and dragged outside for severe torture.
They couldn't discern the level of Zhao Xi's cultivation, and the fact that she could casually slice through their bodies with a kitchen knife showed that she was a true immortal from the Upper Immortal Realm.
In a panic, they shamelessly revealed the location of their hideout.
These immortals usually didn't seem to treat the mortal villagers very well. After Zhao Xi tied them up, quite a few villagers actually ran over, wailing and shouting indignantly, and punching and kicking them.
Then their feet swelled up.
Zhao Xi thought: "..."
Even a fallen immortal has undergone physical training...
The mortals knelt on the ground, wanting to kowtow to Zhao Xi, their faces full of resentment, pointing at them and muttering something.
The meaning behind her words was obvious: she was being asked to punish them.
Zhao Xi thought it best to tie a few loops of the Immortal Binding Rope around the immortals and ask them to transport these people to a distant tree and hang them up.
If their accomplices wanted to rescue people, they could at least draw them away to some distance.
Three came in the morning, and a few more came at noon, which caused some of them to escape back to their hideout and report back.
The mere Golden Core cultivators were nothing to fear. When the other immortals heard of Tongyue's beauty, they felt confident that they could handle it and wouldn't fall into the trap of these two little birds and snakes, so more than a dozen of them came at once.
At this point, the insects that the children had been asked to use to tie snake feathers and grass threads came in handy.
Swarms of insects flew around the village, scattering and landing on the eaves, the ground, the stalls, and on ordinary people.
You have to cover your mouth, otherwise you'll eat bugs as soon as you open it. You also can't drink water outside, or you'll be drinking the corpse water of bugs.
Immortals rarely come to this dirty and dilapidated village. They only know that mortals sometimes experience heavy burdens, and they never noticed the thin strands of grass tied to the little flying insect.
If you use wind magic to fan away all the small flying insects, you won't be able to smell the snake demon's aura anymore.
"They must have run that way!"
Someone pointed downwind.
Although the other immortals had their doubts, they still followed along.
"This is it, I can smell the pangolin monster."
