Su Ye's words made everyone's faces change. Although they didn't take out their magic weapons immediately, they were all on high alert and looked around vigilantly, ready to react immediately if there was any disturbance.
This village is right at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, not far from the dangerous area of the snow-capped mountains. Recently, many ferocious beasts and evil monsters have escaped from the dangerous area of the snow-capped mountains. Could it be that some of them escaped here and caused harm to the people there?
"Is Caimao's nose reliable?" Lin Junjie asked while being on guard. He took a deep breath to try to determine if there was any bloody or rotten smell, but he smelled nothing. Instead, the cold air from the snowy mountains in the evening made his nose and lungs hurt.
Being questioned made Caimao very unhappy.
How dare you question your master? Do you want to live?
Su Ye patted the cat's head to comfort it, and explained in a low voice: "Cats have a strong sense of smell, no worse than dogs. The sense of smell of a cat is particularly strong, otherwise it can't be a cat chef and can't make those spiritual dishes that are both effective and delicious."
The cat puffed out his chest, as if to say, "Did you hear that? I'm very powerful." At the same time, he stared at Lin Junjie deeply, thinking that if you dare to come to me to order spiritual food in the future, I will spit in it and let you know how terrible it is to offend the chef!
It looked down on the cultivators. They even dared to eat things like the eyeballs of shadow bats and the blood of evil dragons, so what was a little saliva? If the saliva of a cat still contained spiritual energy, it could improve the quality of spiritual food or stimulate some special effects. I'm afraid that a lot of people would come to ask it for a mouthful of saliva, just like asking for ambergris.
Cultivators and extraordinary people are not afraid of things being disgusting, they are only afraid of things being ineffective.
Xun Ling lowered his head and glared at the dog-headed Husky fiercely, feeling very disappointed with him.
"Look at that green cat. He found something wrong as soon as he arrived. You, on the other hand, just bark like the dogs in the village. Why, do you want to find a partner here?"
The Husky wanted to say that he had this idea, but after looking at his master's expression, he was smart for once and swallowed the words. He then twitched his nose, sniffed a few times, and then let out a low cry of excitement.
Xun Ling's expression became uglier. "You want me to say there is a smell of rotting flesh and blood here? Caimao discovered it just now. What's the point of you making this afterthought?"
Fortunately, the Husky managed to regain some face.
In the darkness of night, a villager came out with a flashlight, holding a mastiff in his hand.
He was stunned when he saw this strange combination of six people, a cat, a dog and a two-headed bird.
The Husky, eager to show off, raised his nose and sniffed vigorously, then barked softly a few times.
Xun Ling lowered his voice and said, "Wangcai's nose can smell spiritual energy, demonic energy and the like. It said that there is no demonic energy fluctuation on this person, only very weak spiritual energy, so he should be an ordinary person."
Everyone nodded slightly, but did not relax their vigilance at all.
The villager who came was a man in his forties. He was also very alert. He shone his flashlight on them and asked, "Who are you?"
Lin Junjie, who is good at rapping, took the initiative to step forward and communicate with the other party, and even took out and held up his student ID.
"Hello uncle, we are students from Qingcheng Mountain Cultivation University. We are here to carry out a mission. Seeing that it is getting late, we would like to stay in your village for one night..."
The uncle shone the flashlight on the student ID card.
In fact, he couldn’t tell whether it was true or false, but he couldn’t lose face.
At the same time, he said hesitantly: "You want to stay overnight? Well..."
Lin Junjie was about to say a few more nice words, but Su Mu interrupted and said, "We paid for it."
Hearing this, the uncle immediately changed the subject and his attitude became much more enthusiastic.
"It's so dark. Even if you are students of Xiuzhen University, it's very dangerous to travel through the snowy mountains. It just so happens that the B&B we run has a good environment and even includes breakfast. It's really worth it!"
Then he sighed again and started complaining.
"In fact, the accommodation conditions here are very good. When there are many people, there are activities such as bonfire singing and dancing parties. In the past, there were often tourists and travellers coming here. At that time, if you didn't book a room in advance, you could only sleep on the floor when you came here temporarily. Recently, due to force majeure, fewer people have come, alas..."
Lin Junjie was speechless.
If you had told me earlier that your family runs a B&B, I wouldn't have asked for a place to stay. We could have just gone and booked a room.
But this uncle is too realistic. He was still hesitant a second ago, but when he heard about paying, his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. Does spending money make you stronger? Is this the VIP routine, and does it also apply here?
At the same time, he was very curious and asked in a low voice: "Teacher Su, how did you know there is a B&B here?"
Su Mu handed him the phone, which was a navigation map. It showed that there were several homestays in the village, each with many reviews.
Lin Junjie: “…”
Well, technology changes life.
The uncle led everyone to the village.
On the way, he was worried that his mastiff would fight with the cats and dogs brought by this group of people, so he grabbed the dog leash tightly.
However, the situation was not what he expected. His mastiff didn't even bother to fight cats or dogs. It just kept its tail between its legs and didn't dare to breathe. It even jumped on him after walking a few steps, asking for a hug, comfort and protection. The weight of over 100 pounds almost broke his waist.
On the way to the B&B, they also met people from several other villages. They were envious of the guests, but did not try to attract them. After all, they were all from the same village and they would see each other every day. No matter how envious they were, they would not do such a thing.
When we arrived at the B&B, we found it was a three-story building with a distinct Tibetan style.
Everyone checked in on the first floor, each with a separate room. Outside was a spacious living room that was beautifully decorated, where guests could drink tea and chat.
From the window on one side, you can directly see the snow-capped mountains. Of course, it is late now, so you can only see the outline, but during the day, the scenery should be good.
If there were no space cracks in the dangerous area of the snowy mountains and no ferocious beasts and evil monsters slipped out, this place would really be a popular check-in spot for tourists.
It was still early, and Sumu and the others were not in a hurry to rest. They asked the uncle to help prepare some dinner, and several people gathered in the living room.
"I never thought there would be small cards here..."
Lin Junjie smiled and took out a crudely made card, and no one knew where he had picked it up from.
"This should be left over from the past. I guess during the peak tourist season, this place still has one-stop service."
Kevin immediately became excited: "Ah? There is a dragon providing services here? What kind of services are they? Can a dragon really do it? Can I contact the dragon by calling the number on the card? What services are there? Is it fun?"
Everyone: “…”
Let the dragon serve you? Who do you think you are? Dragon Knight Yin Zhiping?
"Okay, let's talk business. Throw away the small card." Su Mu said, ignoring the excited Kevin. There are several girls here. If I explain it to you, wouldn't it seem like I know a lot?
A flame appeared from Lin Junjie's hand, instantly burning the small card to ashes.
Kevin expressed regret that he hadn't even written down the phone number on the card. It seemed that he couldn't get the one-stop service here.
"Did you notice anything wrong on the way here?"
"No."
"Wangcai has smelled the villagers we met on the way and found no abnormal energy fluctuations from them."
Su Mu turned his head and looked at Caimao and Husky: "Can you trace where the smell of rotting flesh and blood is coming from?"
"Woof woof!" the Husky barked immediately.
Xun Ling translated: "It says yes."
The novice cat didn't say a word. If the stupid dog wanted to perform, let him do it. You will feel more relaxed and happy.
Su Mu made a decision immediately: "Let it lead the way, and we will go over to see what is going on. If there really is a vicious beast or evil monster hiding in this village to harm people, we will kill it!"
As a cultivator, protecting ordinary people is both a duty and an obligation. Moreover, the school and the government strongly support this kind of thing and have set up various levels of rewards.
Besides, this place is at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. If the ferocious beasts and evil monsters hiding here are too strong for them to deal with, they can call for reinforcements immediately.
Gu Ranxi and others thought so too and were about to set off.
At this time, the uncle came over with a group of people.
"This is Yuan Liang from our village. His wife has a strange disease. They went to the town hospital a few days ago, but it was useless. I heard that you are cultivators, so I wanted to ask you for help. Because someone said that his wife might not have an ordinary disease, but was caused by evil spirits! Unfortunately, there are only ordinary doctors in the town hospital, but no alchemy doctors, so they can't treat his wife from this aspect..."
"oh?"
Everyone looked at each other. Could it be that Yuan Liang's wife was the source of the rotten smell of flesh and blood?
Su Mu asked: "There should be cultivators patrolling here normally, right? Didn't you ask them for help?"
Yuan Liang said with a bitter face: "A week ago, a cultivator came to patrol, but at that time, my wife did not fall ill."
Su Mu understood.
It seems that during this period of time, the cultivators' attention is still focused on the dangerous area of the snowy mountains. Although there are patrols around, they are only once every few days or a week, not every day, and they cannot spare so many people. This gives the ferocious beasts and evil monsters that slip out an opportunity to take advantage.
Under Yuan Liang's expectant gaze, Su Mu nodded and said, "Take us over there to have a look. I happen to be studying alchemy, so maybe I can help."
"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you." Yuan Liang was overjoyed and hurriedly took everyone to his home.
His home is not far away, after all, the village is only this big.
As soon as he reached his door, the husky barked a few times. Xun Ling's face became serious, and he whispered: "The smell of rotting flesh and blood is coming from here, and Wangcai also smelled the evil spirit here!"
The Husky stuck out his tongue and tilted his head, looking very proud, as if he had finally accomplished something. He wanted to provoke the rookie cat, but in the end he held back and didn't do anything stupid.
