Misty Mountain Pass is the most dangerous place in Weishan.
It's not because the valley is so deep, but because it's shrouded in mist year-round; even the herbalists who frequently go into the mountains to collect herbs have never seen the bottom of the valley.
Because it is unknown, it exudes a sense of mystery.
Some herbalists even claim to have heard the snoring of a giant beast inside.
It is said to be the guardian deity of Weishan, cultivating here while awaiting its tribulation and ascension. It must not be disturbed, otherwise, all the precious medicinal herbs in Weishan will never appear again.
Out of reverence, the herb farmers would kneel and worship whenever they passed through the mountains, offering fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as dew collected in the morning.
At this moment, outside the Misty Mountain Pass, two zombies were squatting there, staring at each other.
Leftover fruit lay scattered at my feet.
Judging from its freshness, it should have just been eaten.
A corpse that has already died and is stiff with rigors of death could never eat such a thing.
Jiang Qingwan got off Xiao Hua and patted its head.
Little Flower couldn't wait any longer. With a roar, she charged towards the two zombies, pinning one down with a claw and greedily absorbing their demonic energy.
Jiang Qingwan saw that layers upon layers of talismans were flashing wildly on the bodies of the two zombies.
It is clear that someone is trying to regain control.
In the mountain valley,
The view above was obscured by the fog.
Upon hearing the commotion, Liu Ruzhi and the others were all terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
"My lord, could it be that a giant beast is really going to return to its cage?"
"Then how can we possibly fill a gap between their teeth? Oh no, my wife is waiting for me to come home for the wedding banquet. Today is her birthday, and I promised her."
The other constables were also dejected, their bodies radiating a sense of powerless despair.
The ravine was very deep, and the cliff face at the cave entrance was covered with damp moss, making it extremely slippery and impossible to climb.
With their martial arts skills, they couldn't jump up there.
If the giant beast returns to its cage, it will only die.
With red-rimmed eyes, the head constable hissed, "We're not in dire straits yet. Instead of complaining, why don't you hurry up and look around for another way out?"
One of the constables sniffed.
“We’ve searched everywhere, there’s no way out, it’s all blocked off.”
At this moment, Liu Ruzhi suddenly raised her hand.
"Don't speak, everyone. This voice sounds a lot like the tiger that the Ninth Princess keeps."
When they were looking for Qin Run before, Xiao Hua and Xiao Hong had lent them their things.
After hearing what he said...
Everyone perked up their ears.
Just then, the person controlling the zombies exerted force, and the two zombies tried to break free from Xiaohua's claws.
Xiao Hua immediately felt challenged, and her deafening roar rang out again.
This time, everyone in the valley heard it clearly.
"It really is the mythical beast raised by the princess! That's wonderful, we're saved!"
Joy and jubilation filled the valley.
Outside the mountain valley, Jiang Qingwan was engaged in a magical duel with someone.
I must say, the other party is quite capable.
Jiang Qingwan was not in a hurry to kill the person; her goal was to lure them out.
As the two zombies lost control and had their demonic energy drained by Xiao Hua, they were left on the ground like rag dolls.
In a corner in the distance, there was finally some movement.
The next moment, screams rang out almost simultaneously.
Accompanied by Xiao Hong's smug and controlling smirk.
Little Flower couldn't resist either, and ran off in that direction.
Jiang Qingwan didn't call out to it, and walked straight to the front of the mist.
He reached into the mist and rubbed his fingertips together.
Besides the dampness, I also felt a faint resistance.
It feels like something is pulling at it.
Is it the spiritual energy of the mountains?
Because of the different terrains in different places, some spiritual energy will produce strange phenomena.
It resembles water, mist, and sometimes, it even seems tangible, as if it were a real object.
"Master Liu?"
Jiang Qingwan called out into the mist.
Liu Ruzhi's response came quickly.
"Ninth Princess Consort, it really was you who brought the divine beast to save us."
Everyone was overjoyed.
Liu Ruzhi then asked, "How many people did you bring? Did the Ninth Prince also come? This ravine is too deep; we need some ropes."
Jiang Qingwan was about to explain when she suddenly heard Mo Yunhan shout urgently, "Wan'er, be careful!"
Accompanied by Xiaohong and Xiaohua's anxious and angry shouts.
Before Jiang Qingwan could even react to what she was supposed to be careful of, she was suddenly shoved from behind.
She had been focused entirely on the fog and had no time to dodge, so she fell heavily forward.
The body plummeted rapidly.
Before landing, she was quickly pulled into Mo Yunhan's arms, spun around to cushion the impact, and landed steadily.
The next moment, Xiaohua and Xiaohong pounced on a figure and fell into the ravine.
The figure was the constable who had just led the way.
"A knife."
The crowd shouted.
A flash of black light appeared in the eyes of the constable named Xiao Dao, but he regained his senses in the next moment with great fear.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Xiaohua's gaping maw. She tilted her head and fainted instantly in fright.
Jiang Qingwan captured the black mist with a talisman.
It is baring its teeth and claws, trying to break free.
"Little Flower, let him go."
Little Flower and Little Red were indignant and each gave him a swipe of their claws without hesitation, but they didn't kill him.
The head constable rushed over to check.
"Is Xiao Dao possessed?"
Jiang Qingwan ignored it and glanced at the black mist screaming in the talisman.
He slowly raised his eyes to look up at the mist above.
"Mo Yunhan, is that person still alive?"
Mo Yunhan's expression darkened slightly.
"He's a Taoist priest. We've already captured him. We wanted to bring him here for you to question, but we didn't expect..."
He had just seen the constable push Jiang Qingwan into the misty ravine, and he couldn't think of anything else.
They were only focused on saving people.
