I gripped my second brother's sleeve tightly, afraid that I might be swept away by the wind at any moment.
But the wind seemed to have eyes, relentlessly pursuing us. At first, we were able to suppress it somewhat by relying on our cultivation levels, merely following behind. Later, it seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, and charged towards us like a madman, forcefully scattering us.
I was blown to the middle of a broken wall and almost fell into some unknown abyss.
Before I could even exclaim in surprise, a fluffy creature snuggled into my arms. I looked closely and realized it was the little dog that had run away and caused trouble when my second aunt's husband sacrificed it. What was it doing here?
I dusted myself off, picked him up, and started walking back.
I wonder how my second brother and the others are doing. I need to find them as soon as possible.
I hadn't walked far when I saw my second brother. He had a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth and was anxiously looking for me.
Upon seeing me, they came straight to me.
"Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
"It's alright, are you bleeding?" I quickly handed him a Qi-tonifying pill and a handkerchief, saying, "Wipe it off and take this."
These were originally prepared by my mother for my new divine trials, but I never expected that my second brother would put them to use.
This time, the second brother didn't refuse and swallowed it cleanly. At this moment, Lin Shen also came over.
He came running over, looking somewhat disheveled and panting.
"How are you? Are you alright?"
I shook my head to indicate that I was alright, and then helped my second brother sit down next to a broken tree to help him catch his breath.
I checked his pulse and then I felt relieved.
The puppy kept circling around me, always trying to snuggle into my arms.
Upon seeing this, the second brother frowned in displeasure and grabbed it.
"Where did you pick up this lecherous fellow? Why does he keep trying to burrow into women's arms?"
I had no choice but to tell the truth, and naturally, I got a scolding. They told me not to pay attention to unfamiliar animals, that the animals here were all dangerous and that I might cause trouble, and that birds like me should keep their distance from these furry beasts.
Finally, he told Lin Shen to just throw it away and continue on his way.
Unfortunately, no matter how far we threw it, it always managed to catch up with us. In the end, my second brother had no choice but to let Lin Shen carry it.
It seemed somewhat unwilling, letting out two howls, but fearing being abandoned again, it listlessly stopped moving.
And so, the three of us and our dog flew for three days and three nights before finally leaving that misty forest. During that time, we encountered several ancient beasts that I had never seen before. I thought we were going to die, but to my surprise, they actually made way for us.
After several attempts, the second brother discovered that they were afraid of that white dog, or rather, that white wolf. That docile white dog, which was as obedient as a dog, was actually an ancient demon wolf.
Thanks to the demon wolf, we made it out of the misty forest without any problems.
Because of its good performance, we gave it a catchy and nice name: Xue Xiaobai (Snow White).
It seemed a little unhappy, but that didn't stop it from being called Snow White.
After we left the Misty Forest, my second brother told me that the Misty Forest was the depths of the Floating Pool Abyss, called the Dark Night Ancient Forest. It was full of ancient beasts and legendary alien races that had survived since the primordial era. If an ordinary person went in, they would probably be devoured alive by the beasts.
The reason they went there was because my second brother found out that his mother's death was related to the alien race there. He didn't say much about the details, and I didn't ask any further questions.
