Jia Xitong put the mask on her face and then lightly jumped over the window.
As a raccoon, she is small in size, has dark fur which gives her a natural night-clothes ability, and is also amphibious, making her the perfect diver!
Shang Yanting had long since disappeared. Following her memories from the daytime, she successfully found Gu Liangshi's residence.
The Gu Liang family has many treasures, and their defenses are extremely well-prepared.
There are monks guarding the outside.
The entire mansion was shrouded in a defensive array, so not even a mosquito could fly in, let alone a bear.
How should Shang Yanting get in?
Jia Xitong hid in the shadows around the corner, peering out towards the mansion. There was no movement around, so Shang Yanting was probably already inside, or perhaps wandering outside like her.
The latter is more likely.
She circled half of the mansion but couldn't find Shang Yanting. However, she did encounter several wooden carts that were about to be pushed into the mansion.
The vehicle was filled with wooden barrels, each containing vegetables, rice, raw meat, and even wild game still covered in fur.
This is Gu Liangshi's kitchen.
As the kitchen staff were responsible for preparing food for nearly a thousand people in the mansion starting at six or seven in the morning, these people had to begin preparing every day in the early hours of the morning.
Jia Xitong looked at the bucket of bloody, hairy game, seized the opportunity to run over, and lay down inside the bucket.
The waiter preparing the meal paused, then alertly looked around, wondering, "Has something come running over here?"
"where?"
Upon hearing this, they began searching around the wooden cart, causing Jia Xitong, who was lying on top of the game, to stiffen with nervousness.
No, you're probably just being paranoid.
Another guy said, "Let's hurry up, it's getting late."
The group appeared alert, but their wariness was palpable.
It didn't seem that tall, so we pushed the wooden cart into the mansion.
The moment she stepped through the formation, Jia Xitong felt a domineering force sweep across her body. She immediately tensed up. What was that?
The wooden carts carrying food stopped the moment they entered the mansion.
The group of kitchen staff outside looked even more nervous than Jia Xitong. "Quickly check if there are any bodies inside the car!"
Immediately afterwards, these people took down the large wooden barrels that contained the items and searched them.
Soon it was Jia Xitong's turn to be placed in the wild game bucket. Then she was lifted up and pulled back by a hand. "Found her. Sure enough, another one who wanted to use magical beasts to sneak into the mansion to steal."
We've been discovered?!
Jia Xitong was suspended in mid-air, her mind racing, trying to figure out what to do next.
"The formation set up by the ancestor is ingenious. There is no protective shield for entering or leaving. As long as you pass through the Life and Death Formation, everything that is alive will be killed."
The man carrying the raccoon backed away and snorted twice, "Those who want to use these underhanded methods to do unjust things to our Gu Liang clan only deserve to be food on our tables."
Inside Gu Liang's residence, the array set up was extremely dangerous.
The dead can survive, but the living will become dead again.
The conversation the cooks had just had outside the door was meant to lull in any intruders into a false sense of security, so they could then easily pass through the formation and kill any people or monsters hiding inside.
Their practiced manner was not a first-time occurrence; their schemes were unpredictable and cunning.
Fortunately, Jia Xitong is still a puppet for now.
A puppet is an inanimate object.
I stumbled in by sheer chance.
She lay in the wooden tub, seized the opportunity to get out of the car, and quickly hid in the dense bushes nearby.
However, the Gu Liang family mansion was extremely large, and she did not know where their treasure was hidden.
So she randomly chose a direction with light and ran towards it.
She hadn't run more than a few steps when she heard the sound of something else behind her—a dog.
A pack of monstrous dogs, larger than ponies, with bared fangs and tiger-like limbs, charged into the jungle after smelling the raccoon.
"Tiger Demon Dog ran into the forest to see if anything was wrong."
"Send two more teams immediately to surround the park."
"Where's the dog handler? Bring him here quickly..."
The guards of the Gu Liang clan were so tight that the demonic hounds chasing after Jia Xitong had already pounced on them.
Originally worried that the buzzing sound of her flight would give her away, she quickly spread her four wings and used flight to shake off the noise.
The buzzing sound also gave away her location.
"There was indeed an intruder!"
"Go find a guard who can fly!"
"Attention all teams! Trample the intruders within the garden and execute them!"
Below, torches and other ritual implements for illumination are lit.
A transparent wall surrounds the garden.
Jia Xitong flew out a second before the cover appeared and landed on a glazed tile.
"Woof woof woof!"
The vicious dogs were also trapped inside, and their howling could be heard.
Jia Xitong folded her wings and ran across the rooftops, trying to get away from this place as quickly as possible. However, fate had other plans; she lost her footing and fell with a thud into a brightly lit room—
Damn it.
Who's crazy enough to put a skylight in a perfectly good house?!
